Chapter 386: Chapter 321: Why Would You Mess with That Guy’s Woman of All People (6K for monthly ticket)

"Won’t get up?"

"Need me to repeat that?"

The Deputy General of the Vanguard Army cast his gaze downward, his voice turning cold.

Xu Xiangdong, kneeling on the ground, struggled with his gaze for a while before slowly rising to his feet and walking over with his head lowered.

"Xu Xiangdong!"

A local officer roared angrily, almost gnashing his teeth. Under the flickering dim candlelight, each pair of eyes was wide with fury, as if ready to devour someone.

"What, do you gentlemen have a problem with General Gongyang?"

"Or are you dissatisfied with the Demon Suppression Envoy?"

The young Deputy General’s eyes suddenly sharpened, cold as a chilling blade in the dimness, surveying the enraged officers around. His words brought a palpable freeze to the hall’s atmosphere.

Then, he turned his gaze towards Wei Zhong seated at the head of the room,

"What do you think? General Wei."

In the chair, Wei Zhong faced the young Deputy General’s overbearing manner with a gloomy gaze, but what pained him most was his own subordinate’s betrayal.

He spoke in a subdued voice,

"Dismissed!"

"People have their own ambitions; since General Gongyang values him, let him go." ƒгeewёbnovel.com

With his softened stance, the young Deputy General’s face broke into a smile as if by magic. Then, turning his head slightly towards the approaching Xu Xiangdong, he spoke,

"Did you hear that, Military Officer Xu? It seems General Wei is quite reasonable after all, go ahead."

"Send someone to invite the Dancing Girl and musician from Heavenly Fragrance Building, especially that lead dancer from the Western Regions. The General would probably like her. Don’t delay the General’s banquet."

"Yes!"

Xu Xiangdong quickly agreed, hurrying away with his head down.

After giving these instructions, the surnamed Hu Deputy General then turned back to Wei Zhong, his smile not reaching his eyes, "Colonel Wei, I didn’t come here to deliberately disgrace you; General Gongyang is asking for your presence."

"We have a guest, and the General is calling you to be his companion."

"Please do!"

His tone was dismissive, and after casting a glance at the still furious Green Armored Military Officers on either side, he chuckled and turned to leave the hall.

Hearing that the Vanguard Army Commander was calling him to a banquet, Wei Zhong’s expression changed. He could tell from the young Deputy General Hu’s demeanor that this was not going to be a pleasant banquet.

Since the Vanguard Army’s arrival in the city, he had felt their malice and hostility. The way they slowly stripped away his troops and power, he knew the reason, but he could not submit; resentment coiling in his chest, unwilling to bow down.

The damned Heavenly Army of the Central Plains Court, treating him as a dispensable tool, this is not how things should be done. He didn’t have a deep relationship with Chen Yuan, having only spent a few days together, but the latter had taken the pressure upon himself, almost single-handedly cleaning up the mess at Tianxiong Pass, and for that, Wei Zhong owed him. Moreover, the reputation Chen Yuan earned on the Demon Battlefield was something he genuinely cheered for and admired from the bottom of his heart.

A skilled general and meritorious servant like that, to be involved in the filthy machinations of those court fools!

Too disgraceful!

It left Wei Zhong somewhat disheartened and filled with disappointment, his heart burning with indignation.

No wonder the world is in such chaos, a bunch of vermin!

After all, from both a moral and rational standpoint, as compatriots in arms from Shu, he undoubtedly stood on the side of the Nine Colonels. No matter what, he would never bow to these vermin. He utterly despised them.

He rose with a stern face, and his officers gathered around, their brows furrowed and faces flushed with anger,

"General, these people are pushing us too far, completely disregarding you."

"Such arrogance from a deputy general."

"They’re rounding up our people and fortifying the inner and outer cities. What do they intend to do?"

"That Xu Xiangdong, a treacherous dog, I’ll make him pay someday."

"General, these troops are unruly and have caused trouble; our men have had conflicts with them and suffered losses. You need to think of a solution?"

"To hell with it, better to just deal with them all."

Everyone spoke their minds one after another, giving an overview of the current dire situation; they all had a belly full of anger.

Wei Zhong walked down, fire dancing in his eyes, but his mind remained calm,

"First, pacify our brothers and wait for my command!"

"Now, there’s only one word: wait!"

"Wait for someone!"

Wei Zhong’s words were heavy with implication, and deep within his pupils, under the reflection of the hall’s lights, the flames flickered intensely.

The person he was waiting for was Chen Yuan!

His tactics had left a deep impression during the rebellion at Tianxiong Pass, and now facing those vermin, Wei Zhong wanted to see how he would handle it.

By his estimate, Chen Yuan should have already received the message, and be on his way here!

With those words, Wei Zhong strode out, his officers parting to let him pass,

"Dismiss yourselves!"

"This Colonel will go see who this guest invited by General Gongyang is."

Wei Zhong stepped out of the Colonel Palace, outside the snow illuminated the sky, and with a few strides, he arrived at a separated courtyard in the Inner City.

The lights were much brighter and warmer than in the Colonel Palace, and laughter could faintly be heard from inside.

The armor on the guards surrounding the estate was even more exquisite than that of the guards from the Sky Patrol Department.

As Wei Zhong was about to enter, he was abruptly stopped by the guard at the gate,

"Colonel Wei, without a summon from our General, you may not enter!"

Wei Zhong’s brow furrowed, his expression darkening instantly. Such lowly and vulgar tactics to upt bitter feelings, utterly distasteful. Then, with a flash of cold light in his eyes, there was a "crack," and the two long swords blocking his way were shattered.

He then proceeded to step inside!

The Green Armored guards at the door instantly tensed up, their armor clattering as they moved to encircle him.

At this moment, an indifferent reprimand came through.
