"It's not an insult, but to be honest, I was still safe before I awakened my Star Soul, let alone now. I accepted you because I don't want to disrespect my father."

Arrow's face was ashen. His original intention was to let Zhou Yang know his place and take the initiative to let them go to the border town. That way, the general would not say anything. But now, Zhou Yang's attitude was that he would not take the initiative to drive them away.
The atmosphere became a little quiet. After a while, Zhou Yang suddenly smiled and said, "Captain Arrow, I understand your feelings, but there are many ways to help my father. You don't have to go into battle to kill the enemy."
"Don't tell me I'm just jealous of you and a bunch of brats?" Arrow's tone was a little sarcastic, implying that Zhou Yang and Ye Zhining were just jealous.
Zhou Yang was not angry. Arrow was definitely a good vanguard, but his vision and knowledge were far inferior to Guo Zhanxiong. Naturally, he could not see the deeper reason for the battle between him and Ye Zhining.
"Captain Arrow, do you know what kind of crisis my father is facing now?" Zhou Yang suddenly asked.
"It's not a crisis. With the general's ability, the Nanman Kingdom's army will retreat in a few days. If you can take the opportunity to occupy one or two cities, the general will be able to atone for his crimes …" Arrow said with confidence. In the end, he even shared his ideas on how to seize the Nanman Kingdom's cities.
Zhou Yang could not help but sigh. Arrow was really a talented general.
"What you said is not the point." Zhou Yang interrupted Arrow's words.
"Is that so? Please enlighten me, Seventh Young Master. "Arrow sneered.
Zhou Yang nodded. He did not care about the sarcasm in Arrow's words. He just told Arrow about the situation after his conversation with Guo Zhanxiong that day.
After a while, cold sweat suddenly oozed from Arrow's forehead.
"No wonder, no wonder the three hundred miles of wilderness was occupied overnight. It must be that Wan …" Arrow clenched his fist. "Yes, Wan and the general are both Three Stars Dragon Generals, but the general became the commander of the Southern Legion. He must be holding a grudge against the general and secretly trying to make things difficult for the general."
"Seventh Young Master's analysis is correct. Wan has been in close contact with the Zhao family these years, and Wu Hou is not on good terms with General Yue …"
The more they spoke, the more frightened they became. In the end, they were speechless.
"Gongzi, since you know the reason, you should have a solution, right?" Arrow's address for Zhou Yang quickly changed.
Zhou Yang smiled and shook his head. "Just like you said, I am only the Seventh Young Master of the General's Residence, not the General. This situation is not something I can solve right now."
"Then what do we do? Are we just going to watch the general get framed?" Arrow was anxious.
Zhou Yang's eyes lit up. "He knows father's current situation better than anyone else. If he can't deal with it himself, it's even more impossible for us to go. However, I'm sure that father's life is not in danger. At most, he'll be imprisoned. What we need to do is strike after the fact."
"Reactive Strike? What is Reactive Strike? "Arrow asked.
"Arrow Captain, your subordinates are the most elite guards around my father, but he left you here when the war was about to begin. Have you ever thought about why?"
Arrow thought for a moment and said, "Gongzi's words really enlightened me. It turns out that the General has already predicted everything and asked me to stay to assist you."
"Yes, Gongzi is extremely talented and has the Lord Star Soul. In less than ten years, I'm afraid your achievements will surpass the General." A squad leader stood up.
"Ten years …" Arrow frowned.
"There's no need for ten years. Two years is enough. Once father is imprisoned, the day the Zhuangyuan champion is decided will be the time for us to act." Zhou Yang stood up.
Arrow and the other three were also stunned.
The day the Zhuangyuan champion was decided in two years …
Was this young boy already preparing to participate in the Zhuangyuan Martial Arts Competition?
The Zhuangyuan champion was something they didn't even dare to think about.
"Arrow is willing to follow Gongzi to the death!"
"We are also willing to follow Gongzi."
Soon the four people cupped their hands. Now they finally understood that Zhou Yang didn't look down on them. What he said at the beginning was just playing hard to get.
"I don't like etiquette. We will be brothers from now on." Zhou Yang looked at Arrow and smiled. He was relieved. He couldn't help but feel lucky that Arrow was not a genius. If he was as knowledgeable as Guo Zhanxiong, he wouldn't have been able to subdue this group of warriors.
"Gongzi is really a wise man. I, Arrow, have lived for thirty years in vain …"
"Gongzi, tell us what we should do. We can't use our brains, but we are good at killing, sneaking, and gathering information." A squad smiled.
Zhou Yang nodded and looked at Arrow, "Captain Arrow, I want you to select a hundred scouts who are good at sneaking into the border city, the imperial city, and the Ye family to gather information …"
Arrow nodded and looked at the squad leader beside him. The man quickly left the hall.
"In addition, Captain Arrow, I want you to personally go to the Lin family to see Lady Nine on my behalf. Tell her that a storm is coming and it's time to hold an umbrella …"
A storm is coming and it's time to hold an umbrella …
Arrowhead silently repeated this sentence …
He was a smart man. It was just that he didn't understand the situation in the county capital. Now that he listened to Zhou Yang's analysis, he quickly understood. Hold an umbrella to shelter from the rain. The Lin family, it's time to pick a side.
However, he was a little worried that with Zhou Yang's current strength, would the Lin family stand on his side?
Arrow's worries were the same for Zhou Yang. He had already prepared for the worst. If his father failed, he must become the martial champion. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to compete with the Zhao family.
But the martial champion would be two years later. Now, if he wanted to stand firm, he must start from the county capital. He must win over the Lin family and eradicate the Ye family.
The Lin family was a wealthy family. Naturally, their military strength was not as strong as the Xu family or the General's Mansion. These years, the General's Mansion had been secretly supporting the Lin family under the instruction of Zhou Zhantian.
If Zhou Zhantian went to prison, the Lin family would definitely choose a new backer.
The only ones qualified to be the Lin family's backer in the county capital were the Ye family and the Xu family.
Zhou Yang guessed that the Xu family and Ye family had already formed an alliance. If the Lin family sided with the Ye family, they would be siding with the Xu family. However, Lady Nine knew the Xu family's greed better than anyone else.
Unless there was no other choice, with Lady Nine's wisdom, she would never side with the Xu family.
He sent Arrow to find Lady Nine not because he hoped that Lady Nine would stand on his side. That was almost impossible. His purpose was to make his position clear.
Late at night.
Shortly after Arrow left, Zhou Yang closed the door and took out the Five Elements Tracking Plate that Bai Suxin gave him.
