'Today's eruption, the third chapter has been delivered! The fourth chapter is in the process of making great efforts … '
Jun Wu Yi and Wan Wu Yan bid farewell to the Southern Heaven City's General Wan Wu Yan before departing. It seemed as if they were very reluctant to part ways. It could be said that these two men had hit it off at first sight.
"Wu Yan appreciates Third General Jun's good intentions. But, the people of Tian Nan have been sharing weal and woe with me for so many years. We've been through thick and thin together. So, they're no different from my family! I can't bear to part with them. Moreover, if I leave … won't the people of Tian Nan suffer if they start to levy taxes again? Wu Yan is willing to stay in Tian Nan until I die of old age! " Jun Wu Yi had proposed to transfer Wan Wu Yan after he had returned. But, Wan Wu Yan hadn't hesitated at all.
"I won't mention it if that's the case. Wu Yan will try his best to retain General Wan's position in Tian Nan if there's a transfer! "Jun Wuyi cupped his fists and bowed deeply.
"Many thanks for Third General Jun's help!" Wan Wu Yan was overjoyed. He then stood up and solemnly said, "Wu Yan won't be able to accompany the General as he moves unhindered across the world. But, I have no regrets. I only wish for the General to display his heroic spirit. He will destroy everything in his path, and achieve the unrivalled prestige of our Tian Xiang! Take care, General! We'll meet again someday! "
The two men bowed deeply and parted reluctantly. The sound of hooves rose like a whirlwind. It gradually formed a torrent of iron and steel. The army's flag fluttered in the wind as it faced the whistling autumn wind.
The Tian Xiang army was advancing rapidly on the main road like a long dragon. The army's appearance was unusually neat as it returned triumphantly.
Not a single person had been lost in this battle of Tian Nan! This had made the soldiers who had been prepared to bleed and sacrifice their lives. But, they were now overjoyed.
Before coming here, everyone was already aware that this expedition was equivalent to giving their lives away. Although soldiers lived an iron-blooded life, their orders were like mountains, and they faced death with equanimity, as long as they were human, they would fear death. No expert or brave warrior was an exception, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation as if their lives were about to pass away and men were at the end of their road. If the nest was overturned on this expedition, no egg would be spared. It would be good if even one out of ten troops could survive.
But no one had expected that under such a vast and extremely destructive Darkbeast tide, it actually didn't cause any heavy casualties, and it was even to the extent that they didn't even have the chance to send out their troops to receive the enemy. Their skin wasn't even scratched in the slightest, and they could be considered to have started strong but ended weak. They returned to the capital just like that, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they went on a vacation … Everyone seemed as if they'd awoken from a nightmare, and they naturally rejoiced and danced. At this moment, their footsteps were extremely light as they walked on the road back home!
As for those who had been singled out by their families and the Emperor, they felt as if they had just escaped from death. Only a small number of guards had died on this trip … But it was like they had gone on a vacation, and they had even contributed greatly …
Once this kind of thinking spread out, it immediately caused those surviving family guards who had gone out to battle to be extremely dissatisfied. They didn't even show the slightest bit of gratitude, and that Young Master Jun even gave each of us a hundred taels of silver. As for our brothers who had died, the Jun Family had even made a promise, and it would all depend on what they would do after returning to the capital …
You have to know that we had done this completely for you … Otherwise, who would come to this damned place to die? Who didn't want to hug their wife and sleep comfortably at home?
The Young Master that they had served so loyally was actually not as good as someone they had never met before!
There was indeed a gap between people!
But these negative emotions were naturally not seen by those Young Masters who were in an extremely excited state. Even if they saw it, they wouldn't care.
After all, all of these people had grown up in an extremely self-centered environment, and they knew that this expedition would be a trip of nine out of ten. Everyone's heart was filled with grievance and resentment. Why are other brothers enjoying life at home, and we have to come out to die? Which one of us isn't born from a father and raised by a mother? Could it be that we are worthless, and you are precious?
Not to mention, just a few days ago, there was news from various places in the capital that all the families were fighting for the position of the Family Head. There were also rumors that these people who had gone out to battle had already been abandoned, and some of them weren't even nominated …
The words of one or two people might be false, but what about the words of hundreds of people? Right now, almost everyone in the capital was saying the same thing, so what?!
This couldn't help but make many of the Young Masters who had participated in the battle extremely angry!
Why?
Why?
You bunch of trash can stay at home comfortably and wait to take over the position of Family Head. We came out to fight with our lives on the line, and we took such a huge risk, and yet our nomination was canceled?
You are trash, but we are the heroes!
The glory in front of us was all exchanged with our lives! Although we didn't go to the battlefield, it was because we didn't have the opportunity, and not because we didn't work hard! Well, since we've already arrived at the battlefield, we also used our lives to participate in this battle!
We're here! This, is a hundred percent battle achievement!
Therefore, on the way back, the young masters of the aristocratic families were like fighting cocks, and were even more high-spirited than when they had arrived! Everyone's eyes were filled with an awe-inspiring battle intent, and the target of this battle intent was naturally their brothers who were still sitting at home, enjoying the fruits of others' labor. Everyone had a common enemy, and was gnashing their teeth in anger, and sharpening their blades!
It was easy to imagine that once these guys returned to Tian Xiang, they would inevitably be like a pack of red-eyed wolves and mad dogs, and would mercilessly engage in a class struggle against those who had plotted for the position of Family Head!
A battle of power that would never end until one side was dead!
However, they didn't know that ever since the news of the army's safe and triumphant return had spread out, the brothers who had stayed behind in the capital had started to panic, and had become anxious. This was because the rumors hadn't died down yet, and everyone was still talking about how the people who had gone out to battle had gained honor and glory, and had returned as the ideal successor to the Family Head. It didn't matter whether they had gone to the battlefield or not, as long as they had risked their lives, and had participated in the battle, that would explain everything …
Therefore, the people who had stayed behind in the capital were also on high alert, and were ready for battle at dawn! Once those damned brothers who hadn't died returned, they would inevitably face a fierce battle, and a civil war between the two families!
Both sides were already on high alert, and had already arranged their battle formations, even though they were separated by thousands of miles … You're prepared? But I'm also prepared! Who's afraid of who?
Of course, there were always exceptions in this world, and not all the young masters of the aristocratic families were like this. For example, the Dugu Family, the Li Family, and the biggest winner of this war — the Jun Family!
However, everyone in the Jun Family, including the Third Master Jun Wuyi, was in a heavy mood, even more so than the young masters of the aristocratic families.
The matter between Jun Moxie and Guan Qing Han had come at a very bad time!
Jun Moxie was bound to face a tidal wave of rumors and slanders when he returned. Jun Wuyi estimated that this attack would be like a surging tide, and wouldn't be able to contain it!
Jun Moxie had the reputation of being a debauchee in the Tian Xiang City. Moreover, this guy had greatly offended those great scholars during the Scholarly Scholars' Autumn Festival. One must know that those great scholars had enormous influence in the imperial court, and many of the imperial censors and imperial censors had come from their schools …
Dashao was currently holding a military post, and it was a big taboo for him to commit lewd acts day and night in the barracks, and there was a risk that he might be turned around at any time. Moreover, Guan Qing Han and Dugu Xiaoyi were not part of the military, and so it could be said that even the Commander-in-Chief Jun Wuyi wouldn't be able to escape the blame of the strict military order, let alone Jun Moxie.
Not to mention that in this era, the relationship between men and women was extremely strict, and Jun Moxie's behavior was tantamount to bullying his sister-in-law, and the heavens couldn't tolerate it! With such a strong reason, how could they let Jun Moxie off easily? Moreover, the Jun Family was an outstanding military power, and had always been at odds with the civil and military officials. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attack, and he didn't know how this matter would develop in the end … In short, the prospects weren't optimistic!
Moreover, Jun Wuyi could already confirm that this scandal had been spread back to the imperial court, and although he had issued a gag order, but there were many spies and informants of the imperial family in the army, so how could they listen to his military orders in private? Presumably, they had already made preparations to attack!
Therefore, General Jun Wuyi, who was supposed to be proud of his success, was somewhat worried, and frowned the whole way. Although his nephew was brimming with talent and was a prodigy, how could he remain calm in the face of the world's idle chatter? Moreover, Guan Qing Han was so delicate, so how could she face the countless raging waves?
If the enemies of the Jun Family were to launch an attack together, the accumulated hatred of several generations could be said to be as high as the mountains and as deep as the seas, and he believed that no one would let go of such a great opportunity! The more Jun Wuyi thought about it, the more difficult it became for him …
On the contrary, Jun Moxie was leisurely the whole way, and was even calmer than when he had left, as if he didn't care about the upcoming attack, and the overwhelming public opinion he would have to face, and was actually more relaxed than anyone else, to the extent that he even chased out the remaining members of the Heavenly Destroyer and Spirit Devourer team before he set off …
Jun Moxie's objective was very simple: You guys don't walk the same road from Tian Nan to Tian Xiang, and change to another road. If you encounter any bandits or bandits, act on your own, and don't leave a single one alive, and exterminate them all. The more you kill, the better, but don't kill the innocent! Before I return to Tian Xiang, you guys must clean up the road, and go back!
The Young Master Jun didn't even leave a single follower behind. Instead, he just hung around in the group. During the day, he would smile mischievously and try to get close to Guan Qing Han. Then, he would bicker with Dugu Xiao Yi. Sometimes, he would go to the middle of the group and brag to the veterans. He would tell a few dirty jokes. But, he would disappear at night. So, no one knew what he was up to …
There were no more major incidents along the way, and if there was anything strange, it would be that the weapons of the private armies and guards of the various families had been stolen every night, and what was even more bizarre was that there was no trace of the theft at all. It was as if the air had evaporated, and disappeared without a trace. But these weapons were not under the control of the army, and even if they were stolen, it wouldn't be considered a major incident, and would only be recorded every day. If it was really the army's military equipment that was stolen, it would be a major incident …
But even if there were people who went to record every day, and no matter how strict the guards were, and how diligent they were, the weapons would still be stolen every night. They used all the defensive methods, but to no avail; not even the shadow of a ghost could be seen!
After a long time, everyone finally gave up, thinking, 'Motherf * cker, if you want to steal, then steal. We can't catch the thief anyway, as long as he doesn't steal my head, it's fine. If he wants to steal, then so be it. It's not like it's some divine weapon, if it's lost, then so be it …'
