Chapter 125: Guiding the Country
"Ha ha, very good, just in time for the Soldiers to rest. I will take my leave now and find a place to recuperate. Ha ha," Yang Chen said as he took his leave.
"Brother Yang, won't you have a drink with us?" Zhu Wei asked.
"Maybe next time. There are over ten thousand soldiers waiting for me outside. As their Leader, how can I rest? I need to settle them first. Farewell." With that, he hurriedly left with Shi Heng and Lin Tingting, leaving Zhu Wei with only their departing figures.
"This person is truly a hero; I am not his equal," Zhu Wei sighed.
"Greetings, Leader."
"Greetings, sir." As soon as Yang Chen appeared at the Lake City Lord's Mansion, everyone bowed in respect. Yang Chen mounted his wolf and said, "Follow me!" He then charged out on his wolf, followed by more than three thousand people. Outside the city was the Shadow Kill Camp.
"Li Qi, assemble the troops and follow me!" Yang Chen commanded.
"Yes, Leader."
"All troops, line up and prepare to move out."
"Yes, General!" Three minutes later, the entire army was ready to depart. Li Qi held the Shadow Kill Imperial Flag, waiting for Yang Chen's orders.
"All troops, ride out! Target Silvermoon City!" Yang Chen commanded.
"Yes, Leader."
"Aoying Bo, please go notify Heavenly Gift and tell him to wait for us in Lake City. Then follow him and ensure his safety," Yang Chen instructed.
"Yes, Young Master." Aoying Bo then rode off.
"All troops, let's set off!!" With that, a group of over fifteen thousand people charged forward.
At the Lord's Mansion of Lake City, Zhu Wei looked in the direction where the Shadow Kill Imperial Flag had departed and said to an elderly man beside him, "Grandfather, I am not as good as him."
"That's why I transferred you to the front lines. When Crimson Dragon arrives at Lake City, you will lead the troops to set out with them," Zhu Jiang replied.
"Grandfather, how do you know they will return to Lake City?" Zhu Wei asked.
"Only Lake City is currently the safest and relatively closest place," Zhu Jiang explained.
"Grandfather, forgive my ignorance; I do not understand," Zhu Wei inquired.
"Because Yang Chen knows that I would not let you come to the front lines alone, he will send his subordinates to seek refuge in Lake City. At the same time, he knows I am a person of Duke of National Defense Red Tianba, so he is certain that I will help him. Therefore, his subordinates will only station here and wait for his main forces," Zhu Jiang clarified.
"But how does Yang Chen know so much?"
"Because you are here, so general secrets are not secrets," Zhu Jiang sighed and said, "This child is truly a hero of our time; I hope he knows when to retreat."
After three days and two nights, over ten thousand people finally rushed back to Silvermoon City. For Yang Chen, this place felt like home; he directly led fifteen thousand people into Silvermoon City. The soldiers guarding the city were about to close the gates immediately. However, upon seeing the Shadow Kill Imperial Flag and the official emblem on Yang Chen's chest, along with familiar faces, they did not close the gates; otherwise, Yang Chen would have scolded them. Yang Chen and his group stormed into Silvermoon City with great momentum, and everyone made way for them. Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, they rode their wolves to the Lord's Mansion, where Crimson Dragon was already waiting.
"Ha ha, Brother Yang, you are quite impressive! You directly led your troops into my Silvermoon City; be careful or I might report you. Ha ha."
"Red Dragon Brother is joking. Even if I had such intentions, I wouldn't have the courage. Besides, no matter whose city I charge into, it wouldn't be your Silvermoon City. Sister-in-law, don't you agree?" Yang Chen dismounted from his wolf with a smile.
"What my brother says is always so pleasant to hear. Alright, Brother Long, let Brother Yang in; we can discuss matters inside," Silver Moon said.
"Right right right. Brother Yang, follow me inside; tonight we won't return until we're drunk!" Crimson Dragon pulled Yang Chen's hand and led him into the Lord's Mansion.
"Alright, under big brother's orders, how could I refuse? Dismissed! Tonight you all have a day off. All expenses today will be on me," Yang Chen announced to everyone.
"Thank you, Leader."
"Remember, don't cause trouble for me but don't let yourselves be taken advantage of. Understood?" Yang Chen said seriously.
"Yes, Young Master." Then, Yang Chen followed Crimson Dragon into the Lord's Mansion.
"Brother, it's time to take action." Yang Chen's first words were so direct.
"Why?" Crimson Dragon frowned and asked.
"Brother, you understand this. When you allowed me to go to the battlefield, wasn't it because you considered that there would be such a day?" Yang Chen said.
"I don't want it to be this way. If so, Grandfather and His Majesty will..." Crimson Dragon said with a frown.
"Sister-in-law, can I have some wine?" Yang Chen smiled at Silver Moon and asked.
"Sure, I'll get you some wine and snacks." Silver Moon said understandingly before turning to leave.
"Brother, don't hesitate. A man should wield a three-foot Longsword and achieve great deeds! Don't you understand? Duke of National Defense Red Tianba promoted me for your sake, just for today. With the Three Lords competing, the Two Princes are leading the way. Brother, if you don't take action now, Duke of National Defense Red Tianba's plan will fail." Yang Chen explained.
"What do you want me to do?" Crimson Dragon asked.
"Leave everything to me. You just need to step in at the critical moment; as long as you trust my words," Yang Chen said confidently.
"Such big talk! Even if I agree, Grandfather will retract it in the future. Aren't you afraid of wasting your efforts?" Crimson Dragon said as if he understood.
"Will it? Ha ha, I believe it won't. What do you think?" Yang Chen said meaningfully.
"So confident, Brother Yang. Sometimes I really can't see through you. Can you tell me what you're plotting?" Crimson Dragon asked.
"Heavenly Continent!!" Yang Chen said firmly: "Xuan Continent is yours; I will not lay a finger on it. And with me here, Xuan Continent can only belong to you."
"I believe you. What do you want me to do?" Crimson Dragon asked.
"Hand over the Crimson Tooth Puppet Corps to me," Yang Chen said.
"Alright, I'll give it to you," Crimson Dragon said without any hesitation. "Ha ha, that's great. The Soldiers are already tired, so it's a good time for a break. In that case, I will take my leave and find a place to rest. Ha ha," Yang Chen said as he took his leave.
"Brother Yang, aren't you going to have a drink with us?" Zhu Wei asked.
"Maybe next time. There are over ten thousand soldiers waiting for me outside. As their Leader, how can I rest? I should settle them first before anything else. Farewell." With that, he hurriedly left with Shi Heng and Lin Tingting, leaving Zhu Wei with only their three silhouettes.
"This person is truly a hero; I am not his equal," Zhu Wei sighed.
"Greetings, Leader."
"Greetings, sir." As soon as Yang Chen appeared at the Lake City Lord's Mansion, everyone bowed in respect. Yang Chen mounted his wolf and said, "Follow me!" After that, he spurred the wolf and charged out, with more than three thousand people immediately following behind. Outside the city was the Shadow Kill Camp.
"Li Qi, assemble the troops and follow me!" Yang Chen commanded.
"Yes, Leader."
"The entire army is to line up and prepare to move out."
"Yes, General!" Three minutes later, the entire army was ready for action. Li Qi held the Shadow Kill Imperial Flag, waiting for Yang Chen's orders.
"The entire army is to ride out; our target is Silvermoon City!" Yang Chen commanded.
"Yes, Leader."
