Wang Chong had never felt such a sharp aura before. The other party's saber qi was boundlessly heavy, as though a mountain was pressing down on him. However, it was restrained, gathering all of its might into a single point.
At that moment, Wang Chong sensed that if his answer did not satisfy the other party, he would be cleaved in two in the blink of an eye.
"What a fearsome expert!"
Wang Chong's heart trembled, and he was about to reveal his identity. But in the next moment, he heard a pleasantly surprised voice.
"Young Master Chong! Why are you here? How did you get here? "
Clang! Before Wang Chong could react, he heard a sharp metallic clang. With a flick of his wrist, the saber master sheathed the long saber into its scabbard.
"You are?"
Just as Wang Chong was feeling bewildered, he heard a rustle. That tall and muscular man pulled down his mask, took off his head, and shook his head, revealing a bearded face with a sharp glint in his eyes.
"Uncle Chen!"
Wang Chong's heart thumped as he recognized the man.
That bearded man was none other than one of his father's old subordinates, Chen Shusun. He was both brave and astute, and he was his father's trusted aide. It was said that he had been with his father ever since his father joined the army. Wang Chong's father was a harsh man, and he was extremely strict with his subordinates. Normally, he wouldn't easily bring his subordinates into the capital.
Even the guards of the Wang Clan had been injured on the battlefield, and their cultivation had been greatly reduced, making it impossible for them to participate in battle. When Wang Yan arrived, he left them a path of survival and found them jobs, which was why he recruited them into the residence. As for the others, the Wang Clan could forget about meeting them.
Wang Chong had only met this Chen Shusun once, when he was young.
But it was only that one time.
Even so, Wang Chong had a very good impression of this old subordinate of his father. When he was young, he had even ridden on his head. At the time, his father was very strict with him and did not allow him to play with any toys, so Chen Shusun had carved a flying bird for him. That was Wang Chong's first toy when he was young, so he had a deep impression of it.
Of course, the most important thing was that Wang Chong clearly remembered that this old subordinate of his father had been sent by his father to serve his eldest brother, Wang Fu, many years ago. The reason why he did this was not because he wanted to promote him, but because his father was afraid that his eldest brother would use his family background and his influence to engage in nepotism in the military, so he sent him to supervise him.
Of course, Big Brother used his own strength to prove himself in the end. He proved that he didn't need to rely on the power and influence of his family to achieve a high level of attainment. Therefore, Uncle Chen became Big Brother's subordinate.
"Young Master Chong, shouldn't you be in the capital? Why are you here?"
Chen Shusun rushed over and grabbed Wang Chong. He looked him up and down, nervous and anxious.
"This isn't a game, and it's not a place where you can throw a tantrum. Why did you come here? Are you crazy? "
This was far too surprising!
This was no longer a pleasant surprise, but a fright! The southwestern battlefield had already become a land of certain death. Countless Annam Protectorate soldiers had died in this region, and many of their own had died as well. Three hundred thousand Mengshe Zhao soldiers and two hundred thousand Ouzan soldiers — this was a force that was suffocating.
Every day, they lived on the brink of death. No one knew if they could survive this calamity, and no one knew when they would die.
This situation was bad enough, but Chen Shusun had never imagined that Wang Chong would arrive at this time and in this manner.
"Young Master, you're letting your emotions affect your decisions!"
Chen Shusun said in exasperation.
"Uncle Chen, there's no time to talk about this. Why isn't Big Brother commanding? Just what happened? "
Wang Chong took a step forward, shaking off Chen Shusun's arm and striding toward the golden-armored figure at the base of the banner. This banner was the insignia of Big Brother Wang Fu, so there was no question that Big Brother Wang Fu was the leader of this mountain.
"Big Brother …"
The massive banner flapped in the wind and rain, but the golden-armored figure sat cross-legged at the base of the banner as if he hadn't heard the commotion behind him. Wang Chong walked over and took a sideways step, subconsciously grabbing the man's shoulder. But a moment later, Wang Chong's voice came to an abrupt halt. Wang Chong was struck dumb by the sight of the armored figure.
The figure under the armor was very young, definitely no older than twenty. Although his figure was very similar to his big brother's, Wang Chong was sure that this was not his big brother Wang Fu.
"If you're not my big brother, then who are you? Where's my big brother? "
After a moment of silence, Wang Chong suddenly reached out and grabbed the collar of the man's armor.
It was clearly his big brother who was leading the army, and it was his big brother who was flying the banner, but the one leading the army was not his big brother. For a few moments, Wang Chong's mind was blank, unable to understand what was going on. There was even a moment when Wang Chong felt extremely uneasy.
The battle at Lion City had lasted for nearly a month. Had something happened during this long period of time? Or perhaps Big Brother had actually failed to break out of the encirclement … As countless thoughts flitted through his mind, Wang Chong maintained his composure, but his pale complexion revealed his true thoughts.
"Eldest Young Master is fine. Young Master Chong, there's no need to make things difficult for him. I was the one who had him wear Eldest Young Master's armor! "
At this moment, a voice came from behind him. Chen Shusun walked over with a grim expression.
"Young Master Chong, I apologize. In truth, I didn't want this to happen either! "
After Chen Shusun, the young man with the tender face spoke up, his expression a little awkward and nervous, but he quickly regained his composure. His expression was somewhat awkward, as if he didn't know whether to stay or leave.
"Zhang Qi, sit there for now and don't move! The morale of the army isn't stable right now. Without my order, you can't move recklessly. "
Chen Shusun seemed to know what the young man was thinking and raised a finger.
"Yes, Milord."
Upon hearing the order, the young man sat back down and remained motionless.
"Uncle Chen, what's going on?"
Wang Chong's grim gaze fell on Chen Shusun.
"Hey, Young Master Chong, come with me!"
Chen Shusun sighed and said no more. He gestured to Wang Chong, then turned around and walked away. Wang Chong followed behind him and entered a large white tent on the summit. There was only one commander's tent on the entire summit, its white canvas flapping in the wind and rain.
But because it had been coated with a layer of butter to waterproof it, not a single drop of rain was able to get in.
【You are welcome to follow my official WeChat account and Weibo. You can search for Huangfu Qi. There are many things that can't be found in novels.】
Within the white commander's tent, a tall and slender young man with a sparse beard and handsome facial features was lying motionlessly on the bed. His lips were slightly pursed, and he exuded a cold, determined, and decisive aura. His eyes were tightly shut, and he wore only his undergarments. Around him, a few bodyguards were attending to him, and their eyes were filled with worry.
"Big Brother!!"
Wang Chong stepped into the commander's tent, and upon seeing that cold and handsome young man, his body trembled and he rushed forward.
"How could this be? What's going on here? "
Wang Chong's two hands gripped his big brother Wang Fu's right hand, but his gaze was turned to Chen Shusun.
In Wang Chong's impression, his big brother Wang Fu had always been a determined, decisive, and decisive existence. He would never hesitate, never hesitate, as if there was nothing in the world that could stump him. Thus, ever since he was a child, Wang Chong had held his big brother in great reverence.
Even Wang Chong's rebellious second brother, Wang Bo, would be much more restrained in front of Wang Fu.
It was said that the eldest brother was like a father, and in Wang Chong's impression of his big brother Wang Fu was more or less the same.
But this time, it was completely different.
Wang Chong had never seen his big brother like this. As Wang Chong held his big brother's hand, he felt that it was incomparably cold. His face was as white as paper, and his breathing was more exhaling than inhaling. What made Wang Chong's heart even colder was that a part of his chest had clearly caved in.
This was definitely not normal!
"Alas!"
Chen Shusun sighed and slightly raised his head. As he gazed at the top of the white tent, a look of reminiscence appeared in his eyes.
"Since it's come to this, there's no need for me to hide it. What I see today is that Eldest Young Master is injured and unconscious. There are no military doctors in the army, and military doctors are unable to treat his illness. So right now, we are also helpless! "
"Who on earth injured my big brother?"
Wang Chong clenched his fists so tightly that they creaked. His eyes were crimson as he spoke in a frosty tone.
Brothers were connected by heart. In this world, the people closest to him, the ones he treasured the most, were his parents, his two older brothers, his younger sister, and the members of the Wang Clan. No matter what, he would not allow his family to be injured.
"It's Huoshu Huizang's general, the Xiphodon Jiao Serro, the second valiant general of the Ouzan Ngari Royal Lineage after Huoshu Huizang! When Eldest Young Master broke out of Lion City, he was pursued by Jiao Serro. In order to protect the army, Jiao Serro was injured. "
Chen Shusun paused and glanced at Eldest Young Master Wang Fu's caved in chest.
"But the one who truly injured Eldest Young Master was Huoshu Huizang! After defending Lion City for more than ten days, Eldest Young Master was heavily injured by Huoshu Huizang, but he kept it a secret. If not for this, Eldest Young Master wouldn't have been injured in battle with Jiao Serro. Eldest Young Master persisted for more than an hour, but eventually, his injuries flared up and he fainted. There was no one to command the frontlines, and in order to maintain morale, I took the liberty of finding a soldier with a physique similar to Eldest Young Master and had him wear Eldest Young Master's armor to guard the banner.
"As long as Eldest Young Master is alive, the morale of the army will remain. Otherwise, it will only bring chaos! "
Chen Shusun said deeply.
Only those who had lived in Lion City and gone through thick and thin with the army would understand what Wang Fu meant to this army in dire straits. The combined army of Mengshe Zhao and Ouzan was several times that of the Tang dynasty. In this situation, defending passively was the only choice. And waiting for death was the final outcome.
Oftentimes, even before the final outcome had arrived, the oppressive atmosphere had already caused the army to collapse without a fight.
The only reason that the Tang army of Lion City had not collapsed, that they had persisted until now, and that they were still able to maintain their fighting spirit in the face of an enemy several times their size, was Eldest Young Master Wang Fu.
Unlike Xianyu Zhongtong and the other generals of Annan, Wang Fu was the only person in the army who could not command the army to attack while defending the city. In his time, the army had never passively defended or waited for an attack. In his time, the Tang army would attack from time to time, killing or injuring Mengshe Zhao's and Ouzan's men.
It was precisely because of Wang Fu's existence that the defenders of Lion City were not passively attacked, and that their morale and fighting spirit were maintained. It was also because of this that Ouzan and Mengshe Zhao did not dare to be too impudent!
