章 91: Military Affairs Department

After finally seeing Ge Hongliang and his group arrive, Ouyang Shuo led the officials to welcome them, saying, ”Welcome Ge Hongliang. From now on, we are family.”

Ge Hongliang didn't dare to neglect him and bowed, saying respectfully, ”Thank you sire!” This bow pledged one’s allegiance. Ever since then, they would be treated differently as leader and servant and they won't be able to talk like they were of the same level. Everyone who followed behind bowed down; the normal residents even kneeled and said loudly, ”We greet the lord!”

Ouyang Shuo naturally understood the deep meaning behind it and accepted their greetings. He went forward and helped Ge Hongliang up, smiling. ”Let's go, I've asked my men to prepare wine to welcome all of you.” After saying that, he personally led Ge Hongliang towards the Lord’s Manor.
