Chapter 375: The four old men in the pot (1)
“I think it’s better to give Tang Wen the title of Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the southeast coast before the war. With that, I’ll be the Commander-in-Chief and he’ll be the Vice Commander-in-Chief. He’ll be able to command the troops to fight against the sun nation’s enemy. ” Chu Guang suggested.
“You can’t directly call him vice Commander-in-Chief, he’s not qualified.
Otherwise, what do you think the military officers and commanders of Haicheng City will think?
Would the provincial governors be convinced? Besides, he’s too young. ” Chu Xiangang shook his head.
“Since his Battle Points are already at the Marquis level, why don’t we give him the title first and then vice Commander-in-Chief? that way, he’ll have a legitimate reason to be one.” Chu luoxiang said.
“An 18-year-old Marquis, we’ve never seen one before.
Of course, the members of the imperial family were an exception.
I reckon that the Emperor will not agree to this and will think that this is child’s play. ” Chu Xiangang said.
“Third granduncle, national affairs are the most important. Isn’t the Chu clan’s territory more important than these? If anyone has any objections, tell them to take out their battle merits and go to the southeast coast to kill 80000 enemies for us to see. ” Chu luoxiang scoffed.
“The war along the coast has already reached the point where the Chu clan’s territory is in danger. Your Highness, we can only stake it all on one throw.
He’s just a third rank Marquis. Our Empire has quite a few of them.
You see, in the Northwest, wasn’t there a person who only killed 50000 enemies a while ago? in the end, the Emperor directly made him a Marquis. ” Chu Guang said.
“This King can report in detail to the Emperor, but I can’t guarantee it.
I’ll send someone on an Eagle back to the capital to report this matter to the Emperor on my behalf.
As for the peacock Island, he could give it to him first.
All the people, soldiers, and handymen on the island will be given to him. ” Chu Xiangang said.
“Then we’ll use eight hundred li as an emergency.” Chu luoxiang said.
“Of course. We’ll take turns with the Eagles. We’ll be able to reach the capital in two days. It’ll only take five days for a round trip.” Chu Xiangang replied.
The moon was especially bright at night, casting a white glow on the earth.
At this time, a group of people walked by not far away, and more than a dozen torches were burning.
“Everyone, let’s put in more effort. The little Dong mountain station is not far from here. Let’s rest at little Dong mountain tonight.” Zhuang Qiyang said.
“That’s good. When the time comes, we can take a hot bath and warm up the wine. That would be great. ”
“If there’s a beautiful lady to warm up in bed, that would be even better.”
“Hahaha ...”
Immediately, the dozen bailiffs who were escorting the prisoner carriage all laughed.
“Everyone, it’s easy to get into trouble at night, we can’t relax.
When we arrive at little Dong mountain, I’ll allow everyone to have a drink.
However, you can’t drink too much, lest you ruin the big plan. ” Chen Cang said with a serious face.
“Lord Chen, don’t worry. With the two lords personally escorting them, who would have the guts to Rob our six fan division’s prison carriage?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a wave of arrows shot over.
“Fall! Protect the carriage. ” Chen Cang shouted and pulled out his bright saber, soaring into the air and slashing at the direction of the bow.
BOOM!
A terrifying palm energy rushed over and immediately sent Chen Cang flying.
At the same time, a few other palm strikes came, and more than a dozen bailiffs were hit and rolled out.
“How dare you? we’re from the six fan division. Are you going to rebel?” Zhuang Qiyang was furious. He raised his knife and attacked.
“Tonight, all of you will die!” A cold voice sounded in the forest.
A few black shadows streaked down from the sky and charged towards the prison van.
“That might not be the case!” Tang Wen smiled faintly and gently landed from the bushes, blocking the five people.
“Why are you here?” Elder tie asked.
“How can it not be me?” Tang Wen replied indifferently.
“Hahaha, kid, there’s a way to heaven, but you refuse to take it. There’s no Door to Hell, but you insist on coming. Just in time, I’ll wipe you out in one fell swoop. Today, you’ll be a dead soul under my blade!” Elder Shi laughed heartily as a huge sawtooth rock spun towards him.
“Hurry up!” Old man mu snorted, and Lin Zhi and the others pounced on the prison cart.
“Bang!” A terrifying palm force swept over, smashing the three people and sending them flying.
“Hehe, your opponent is me!” GUMU Tong opened his mouth, showing his yellow teeth. Because he liked to smoke, his teeth had already turned yellow.
“Retreat!” Lin Zhi shouted and the few of them turned around and ran.
However, he was sent flying back by a palm force.
“You guys want to run away just like that? this Grandpa hasn’t played with you guys properly yet.” Wei Yi Xing laughed.
“Kill!” The four old men shouted, and the five of them died. They raised their large blades and rushed over without any regard for their lives.
Bu bu bu bu ...
Tang Wen made his move. He shot the pistol in his sleeve at the thighs of several people.
The five of them fell to the ground, bleeding. Gumutong quickly pounced on them, and in a few moves, the five of them had lost their ability to resist.
“The four elders of the Linghai Academy are quite impressive. They actually want to hijack the six fan division’s prisoner carriage and rebel. Tie him up!” Tang Wen said.
“Master, it’s all thanks to your help this time. Otherwise, we would be in trouble.” Zhuang Qiyang went over and said.
“You are Lord Tang?” Chen Cang stepped forward and cupped his fists.
“Hehe, Lord Chen, I’ve long heard of you.” Tang Wen cupped his fists and returned the greeting.
“I’m ashamed. I, Chen Cang, almost became a sinner in the Department today! Originally, Lord Zhuang suggested that we rest early, but I was the one who requested to travel through the night. ” Chen Cang said with a face full of shame.
“It’s fine, you just didn’t expect it. ” Tang Wen waved his hand.
“Vice commander Zhuang, I think we can’t go to little Dong mountain. I wonder if Linghai Academy has any other accomplices. We should hurry through the night and bring the criminals to Haicheng City as soon as possible. ” Chen Cang said.
“Zhuang Qiyang, Chen Cang, hear my order!” At this time, two black figures appeared in front of them.
“And you are?” Chen Cang stared at the black shadow alertly.
“The house of secret agents has taken over the Linghai Academy. You guys cooperate and escort the criminal to the designated location.” The black shadow flashed the token in his hand. On it were two large words,”secret agent.”
“Yes, sir!” Zhuang Qiyang and Chen Cang quickly cupped their fists and replied after verifying the information.
“I’ll leave him to you. I’ll take my leave!” Tang Wen said.
“This matter can not be divulged to anyone else, or else ... Even if you are a first uncle, I will still capture you.” The spy snorted.
Tang Wen nodded and left with his men.
Although the two of them had changed their appearances and used the bone shrinking technique to reduce their height, they were still very young.
However, Tang Wen could easily tell that they were Chu Cong and Shen Gongyang. Otherwise, Tang Wen wouldn’t have handed her over to them.
Five days later, Tang Wen was called to the military office. When he entered, he found Wan Hansong and Jiang Xuan present.
He did not expect Chu Guang, the high Duke, to be there as well. He was chatting with a eunuch eunuch with a thin face. The chief of soldiers, Qiu Zhaohai, was sitting beside him.
“Lord Tang, this is eunuch li from the palace.” Chu Guang introduced Tang Wen as he walked in.
“Tang Wen greets eunuch li.” Tang Wenwei cupped her hands and greeted him.
“Forget it. I’m here to pass on the Holy decree.” Eunuch li showed the Imperial edict and said,”by the will of the heavens ... First-class Earl Tang Wen has been performing outstandingly recently. He led an Army to kill 80000 enemies and destroyed nearly 1000 warships of the sun nation’s thieves ...
I’m very happy and specially awarded the peacock Island and the people on the island to Tang Wen.
In addition, Tang Wen was appointed as the former Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the sea Saint battle. The soldiers of Linghai and youhai provinces would be under Tang Wen’s command to cooperate with Chu Guang to counterattack the sun nation’s enemy.
Recover the lost land, drive the thieves out of great Chu, and return great Chu to its peace!
In addition, I will temporarily grant the imperial family a Tiger Token to facilitate the dispatch of the soldiers of the two provinces.
If the soldiers of the two provinces dare to disobey, they will be executed immediately!” Eunuch li announced loudly.
Qiu Zhaohai’s face paled when he heard that.
“Congratulations, vice Commander-in-Chief. I, Wan Hansong, will do my best to help you.” Wan Hansong stepped forward and congratulated.
“Commander, the Yamen will listen to the Deputy commander’s orders at any time. We’ll fight to the death with the sun nation’s traitors!” Jiang Xuan stepped forward and said.
“The 8th Battalion of the Black Knights is on standby.” Chu Zhao said.
“Hehehe, Lord Qiu, do you have any objections?” Seeing that Qiu Zhaohai was silent, Chu Guang asked with a smile.
“This official will listen to the emperor’s decree!” Qiu Zhaohai had no choice but to cup his hands and force a smile.
“Lord Tang, this is the emperor’s decree. You can’t slack off.” After that, Chu Guang called Tang Wen to the side to talk.
“High Duke, you’re putting me on the fire.” Tang Wen said with a bitter expression.
“Hehehe, it’s impossible for Qiu Zhaohai to have this opportunity, and you’re still looking down on it. In any case, your Tang Army is also going to battle, so why not take this opportunity?” Chu Guang laughed.
“My Tang family only has a few people, it’s still fine even if it’s a small fight. If we were to fight the sun nation’s enemy head-on, we wouldn’t be their match at all. ” Tang Wen said.
“Aren’t there still soldiers from the two provinces? That was close to 200000 soldiers.
Of course, I know it’s hard for you. The Imperial court’s National Treasury is empty and there’s no money to be allocated to you. You can only rely on yourself.
In fact, they didn’t even give you a real job. Vice Commander-in-Chief sounded nice, but it was only a title before the battle.
This included the Tiger tally. Once the war was over, the title of vice Commander-in-Chief would be gone, and the Tiger tally would have to be returned to the court.
Moreover, he’s only a third-rank general. ” Chu Guang said.
“I don’t have much objection to that. I’m not a general to begin with, and I’m not interested in these things. I just want to be a carefree hermit. I’m only worried that I’m not capable enough to command the soldiers of the two provinces. ” Tang Wen shook his head.
“I believe you. In fact, the Imperial court’s appointment of you as the Vice Commander-in-Chief was a test for you.” Chu Guang said.
“Test? test me on what?” Tang Wen asked.
“You’ve made many contributions and are about to be conferred the title of Marquis. It’s just that you’re too young, and you still lack a direct battle record.
If you perform well this time and chase the sun nation’s traitors out of great Chu, you will naturally be made a Marquis.
The Imperial court’s officials won’t be able to gossip about you anymore. ” Chu Guang said.
“It’s easier said than done,” Tang Wen shook his head.
“Everything is difficult at the beginning. You see, didn’t I also go through the same thing as you? You have to seize this opportunity. The officials of the two provinces are under your command now. How great of an honor is it for you to hold the Vice Commander-in-Chief seal at the age of eighteen?” Chu Guang laughed.
“I’ll try my best. ” Tang Wen nodded.
“Hehe, that’s good.” Chu Guang nodded and looked at Tang Wen,”I heard you brought back a lot of treasures from the West?”
“Treasure? where did the treasure come from?” Tang Wen pretended to be stupid.
“See, you’re playing dumb with me again.” Chu Guang said.
“I don’t dare. How would I dare to lie to the high Duke?” Tang Wen said.
“I’m not going to play hide-and-seek with you anymore. Someone mentioned to me about the Linghai Academy and they’ve been targeting you.
This matter would definitely be settled. However, alas ... The situation in the Imperial court has been turbulent recently.
Of course, it’s difficult for you to be the Vice Commander-in-Chief. The only thing you’re afraid of is that the officials of the two provinces won’t listen to orders.
The waters were deep here. None of these chief military officers and provincial governors were easy to deal with.
Even though the Emperor gave you the Tiger tally, it’s just a decoration.
Don’t tell me you’re really going to use them to kill this and that?
That’s impossible, so we need someone to back us up. ” Chu Guang said.
“Of course, my backer is you, Duke of state. If you don’t help me, who will?” Tang Wen said.
