Chapter 1: The Slothful General

Bai Chuan struck Ming Yu with a punch, causing him to fall from his horse. He placed a sabre against Ming Yu's neck and said in a low voice, "If you miss the timing, I will kill you!" Glancing at the dazed guards and messengers around him, he raised his voice and commanded, "Why aren't you sending the message yet!"

"Do you not believe me? It is understandable! On our way here, we encountered the real liaison officer, who was on the verge of death. He spoke to us and then passed away." Zichuan Xiu stated unequivocally, "The assassin's target is Lord Robbo! Where did the assassin go just now? We must check each place carefully!"

He turned to the members of the guard, saying: "When Shirakawa asks, you should know what to do, right?"

Shirakawa: "Sir, what are you saying?"

The thunderous sounds of killing awakened a certain hero's sweet dream in the back mountain. He poked his head out of the sleeping bag and listened for a moment, murmuring, "It's a full-scale attack! It seems that Baichuan has discovered us... Really, making such a loud noise, it's hard for people to sleep well." He then pulled his head back in, trying to continue the beautiful dream that had just been interrupted.

Zichuan Xiu yawned and asked, "What urgent matter is there? Has the demon clan come to attack?"

Why was the victory achieved so effortlessly? The demon clan suddenly retreated while they were in a favorable position during the battle; when the cavalry of the Zichuan family began their assault, they encountered almost no organized resistance. In today's battle, the demon clan appeared so flustered and terrified, which is not characteristic of the traditionally strong and battle-hardened demon army.

Ming Yu smiled wryly; it was always like this. He understood Bai Chuan's temperament too well. Each apology was merely a prelude to the next offense.

Shirakawa: "That is bound to happen sooner or later. When they discover that you have been deceiving them with a dummy..."

Ming Yu stepped out from the cavalry unit, his expression quite unfriendly: "What, is it up to me to take charge? Is Deputy Flag Officer Bai not afraid that I will steal all your credit?"

The person in the sleeping bag remains motionless

I am the Deputy Commander of the Far East Army. According to the system, my direct superior should be Commander Ge Yingxing. " Commander Luo Bozi said, " Commander Ge has always asked me to look after you.

Bai Chuan let out a couple of snorts, thinking to himself: "That is because you haven't seen him sleeping soundly on the back mountain, always ready to flee at any moment"

You need not be afraid, for we have won. Could it be that the Inspection Bureau will pursue you for the crime of miscommunicating military orders?" Zichuan Xiu seemed to have guessed Baichuan's concerns and said leisurely, "Tomorrow we will disband and return to Shajia City; let the troops of the Gexi Banner handle the cleanup.

Those who participated in the Hengchuan Battle, including Zichuan Xiu and others, were invited by the Deputy Commander of the Far East Army, Luo Bo, to meet at the General Staff Headquarters of the Far East Army in Valen. However, unfortunately...

As night fell, the three deputy flag bearers, Roger, Baichuan, and Mingyu, set out to patrol the streets, inspecting for any violations of military discipline or disturbances caused by unruly soldiers

Zichuan Xiu yawned repeatedly: "Let's wait until they start arguing! Those soldiers are really something, being so petty over such trivial matters. So, does that mean Roger and Mingyu fought a duel for you, and both ended up dead, right?"

Roger (in a low voice): "Shh! Keep it down! I think he just glanced at you with a strange look; I suspect he heard us. Oh no, he's about to order more dishes, the luxurious Golden Palace Eight Treasures! That's it, my salary for next year is gone!"

In such a situation where the enemy and ally are difficult to distinguish, the only way out is to take the initiative—resulting in more than half of the 20,000 casualties of the Liufeng family that night being killed by their own people

Zichuan Xiu had a look of astonishment on his face: "Did I give the order for you to attack? Is that true? No, right? This must be an order you issued yourself, Vice Flag Officer Bai, isn't it?"

In the third month of the seventy-first year of the Empire Calendar, the Liufeng family launched a major offensive against the Zichuan family. While the main army advanced aggressively on the front lines, a detachment of the Liufeng family executed a surprise attack by passing through the neutral territory of the Lin family, circumventing the border defense forces, and suddenly appeared outside the imperial capital.

You haven't forgotten about the events from seven years ago, have you

Now Yang Minghua suddenly wants to be promoted to the position of Deputy Commander, bypassing the usual ranks

He lazily walked towards the tent: "The night is already deep, Bai Fuhqi should also rest. We still have to travel tomorrow"

Finally, she thought of the most lethal and effective move

Roger took it, opened it, and just took a glance. This fearless general, who had faced tens of thousands of demon tribes without fear, fainted on the spot

Bai Chuan stood by the window, gathering all his energy from his dantian, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Someone is trying to eat the overlord's meal! Catch him!" After saying this, he jumped down from the window

Zichuan Xiu smiled ambiguously and said: "Hehehe, don't worry, I will definitely interrogate her thoroughly." This reflects a tacit understanding between men that is instantly recognized.

Bai Chuan stood at the forefront of the cavalry formation, calmly raising her right hand, frozen like a sculpture. Suddenly, she forcefully pressed her raised hand forward, and a thunderous roar erupted from behind: "Long live, long live, long live!"

After the death of Zichuan Yuansheng, the family fell into disarray, with no clear leader. The Council of Elders, the General's Office, the Command Office, and the Military Affairs Office were embroiled in endless disputes, blaming each other and shirking responsibility, each claiming that only they could save the family from its peril. As a result, nothing was accomplished; they were preoccupied with meetings, discussions, elections, and voting, while no one knew how to deal with the looming threat of the Liufeng army outside the city.

Waitress: "Oh, our boss has instructed that the officers from the Xiu Chuan Brigade will not be charged tonight"

Bai Chuan observed coldly as the two rivals attacked each other, but then turned his horse's head: "I will go see if there are any instructions from the master"

Zichuan Xiu once again revealed that most innocent smile: "Lord Robbo, why do you say such things? Everything I just mentioned was from the bottom of my heart. Please believe that my feelings for Your Excellency the President are filled with sincere affection..."

Deputy Commander Luo Bo only learned of this matter after the meeting concluded. He was taken aback and hurried back, opening the cabinet door to find it completely empty. He let out a desperate wail!

Speaking of Zichuan Xiu, Baichuan was filled with anger: "You think too highly of that idiot! Do you know what he was doing while we were risking our lives? Taking baths, eating, sleeping, and he almost got involved with women! But that's mostly because he hasn't found a woman. How does he resemble a commander of the entire army..."

In the year 778 of the Imperial Calendar, the victor of the Fifth Battle of Hengchuan let out a scream that would absolutely not be recorded in the annals of history

Oh, there is. He said that if he loses, hurry over to wake him up, and we will escape together.

The messenger responded and left, while Baichuan instructed, "From now on, the headquarters will be under the responsibility of Deputy Flag Officer Mingyu. I am going to meet Flag Officer Xiuchuan"

Subordinates speculated: it is possible that a top-secret document was stolen by a spy from the Liu Feng family

Zichuan Xiu recalled the care and concern that Luo Bo had shown him over the past six years, and a wave of warmth surged in his heart. He deeply bowed to the elderly man before him: "With my humble self, I am deeply grateful for the care bestowed upon me by Commander Ge Yingxing and you, my lord... This kindness and affection are impossible to repay in this lifetime! Should you have any commands, Zichuan Xiu will dare not hold back and will spare no effort, even at the cost of my life!"

The head of the Zichuan family, Zichuan Yuansheng, believed that the Liufeng army, acting alone, could not possibly have a strong military force. Without waiting for reinforcements to arrive, he mobilized the central army and the imperial guards in the capital to launch an attack. As a result, they fell into an ambush, and the central army and the imperial guards suffered near-total annihilation, with casualties exceeding 80,000. Zichuan Yuansheng was severely injured. It was only then that the Zichuan family realized that the attacking force was led by Liufeng Xishan, the cunning and intelligent first heir of the Liufeng family, with a troop strength of as many as 130,000.

Oh?

Zichuan Xiu: "But if I were to be promoted to Deputy Commander, wouldn't it be even harder for someone to sleep?"

No more risks can be taken, for the goddess of fortune is not necessarily so generous as to look after the same person twice

Shirakawa analyzed the battlefield situation to the half-asleep and half-awake Zichuan Xiu: "Currently, the situation is that the defeated demon army still possesses a strength of over 50,000, and among them are extremely powerful armored beasts. Just now, they attacked us to the point where we could barely hold on—yet, for some unknown reason, they suddenly retreated, looking quite disheveled. The several vice commanders leading the troops are uncertain whether we should pursue them. Please provide your instructions, my lord"

Still wanting to run, dressed in a deputy commander uniform to impersonate an officer and deceive others for food and drink

It is likely not merely luck. If this time it is good fortune, then was the counteroffensive in the capital six years ago also just luck? In the confrontation with the Frostwind, who besides him could escape without suffering losses? During the two invasions by the demon race into the Far East, only his troops managed to return unscathed... For a 'fool' who joined the military at the age of eleven and has experienced numerous battles without ever suffering a defeat, his luck seems excessively fortunate, doesn't it

Zichuan Xiu: "Oh, it's a bit more expensive than the capital... I would like two bottles with the book!"

This morning, they have reconciled, and Deputy Commander Lei has withdrawn his resignation letter

Bai Chuan found Zichuan Xiu's tent under the shade of the trees on the back mountain. He was wrapped in a sleeping bag, sleeping soundly, emitting rhythmic snores: "Hoo—lu, hoo—lu!"

Every charge against him is a capital offense

Shirakawa trembled as she picked up the appointment letter from the ground, while Shikawa Hiu looked at her with a sympathetic gaze and suggested, "Would you like to have some wine to calm down?"

As you command, my lord! The captain called out as he turned around, and the cavalry used their whips to drive the captives before Zichuan Xiu, while the guards nervously surrounded him to prevent the demon captives from suddenly rising up to cause harm

A few days ago, I heard that Deputy Commander Lei and Commander Ge Yingxing had differing opinions and mentioned resigning. Wouldn't that create a vacancy in the organization

Shirakawa glanced at the menu and felt somewhat startled: so expensive!

"Who said the demon army is strong?" Vice Flag Officer Roger, looking down at the elite demon troops retreating like a tide at the foot of the mountain, said with pride, "It seems I am even stronger."

Luo Bo revealed a sly smile: "I am a vassal of the Zichuan family, not a vassal of Yang Minghua. The object of my loyalty bears the surname Zichuan!"

Ming Yu leisurely said: "As long as we can win the battle, he can play however he likes; I have no objections. Why are you so angry?" He glanced at Bai Chuan, his gaze filled with profound meaning.

Young and beautiful ladies waved flowers as they approached to embrace unknown soldiers, kissing... According to statistics, within the first hour of entering the city, over 7,000 soldiers from the Zichuan Xiu troops lost the first kiss they had originally intended to reserve for their loved ones back home, highlighting the enormity of the loss. Many touching or unremarkable love stories thus began, and the officiating priests at the church weddings enjoyed a brief surge in business.

In the darkness, the deputy banner lord Shirakawa was silently pondering among the cavalry, the joy of victory during the day had not dispelled her doubts

Oh? Zichuan Xiu suddenly became curious, "Are there many captives? Let me see."

Bai Chuan galloped through the night, and Ming Yu's words echoed in his mind, pondering: "Indeed, his luck is excessively good... Could it be that he has been hiding his true self all along?"

My lord, the banner lord! Bai Chuan, both angry and anxious, said, "I understand your feelings towards Roger, that boastful king who has done nothing good since becoming the deputy banner lord. In fact, my thoughts align with yours. However, the five thousand officers and soldiers of the Far East under Roger's command are innocent; there is no need for them to die alongside him, is there?"

I report to you, my lord, that I understand.

I am Kadan, the third princess of the Demon God Kingdom. As a member of the royal family, I demand treatment that befits my status. The young girl declared her identity with a trembling voice, striving to sound dignified

However, adults also know that Roger never uses his brain when charging forward; what if he acts foolishly at that moment

The General Staff of the Far East Army was thrown into chaos. The gendarmerie rushed over but were ordered by Shuchuan Xiu to stay away from the office. Inside, the sounds of rummaging through boxes could be heard, along with the murmurs of Shuchuan Kihon: "Where is it? Where is it? Come out quickly, I know you must be hiding! I refuse to believe I can't find it!"

Twenty thousand black-clad cavalrymen stood silently in formation on the high ridge, with not a whisper of noise to be heard. Only the distant, faint sounds of the retreating demonic forces could be perceived, accompanied by the low, mournful howling of the wind sweeping across the Hengchuan Plain, as if the souls of the fallen warriors were reluctant to leave their final place of existence.

Shirakawa: "Sir, did you not say at that time..."

The headquarters of the Far East Army, the main base, and other important institutions such as the Far East Military Academy are also located in Valen

Each unit will camp in place, arrange for scouts, and the night watch posts will change from four personnel per post to eight personnel per post. The defense area for scouts will be doubled, and torches will be used for early warning

"It is not necessarily a death sentence," said the deputy chief of staff, Ming Yu. "The atmosphere on the demon side is very chaotic; we do not know what has happened there. It is possible that Roger might really succeed."

What kind of person is he? You should know better than I do, right?

As she pondered, a shiver ran through her

Having spoken, he glanced over and then fainted.

As the Zichuan Xiu troops lined up to enter the city for rest, the welcoming crowd nearly overwhelmed the formation. The citizens indiscriminately handed the soldiers worthless gifts: half-cooked eggs, sweat-stained handkerchiefs, silver-inlaid jewelry, and explosive balloons that could injure. These items were of no use anyway, and they collectively drank expired, unsellable inferior wine, which allowed the owners of thirty-seven bars to avoid bankruptcy. However, the owner of one bar went bankrupt after his establishment was destroyed by drunken soldiers.

Ming Yu snatched it away: "So useless, at most they will just send us to attack the Great Demon Fortress, and yet they are so frightened, what a disgrace!"

The beautiful and charming secretary politely said to Zichuan Xiu: "Xiu Chuan, I sincerely apologize. Deputy Commander Lin Bing has called an emergency military meeting, and Lord Luo is still in the meeting. He mentioned that if you all have arrived, please wait in the reception room. I am truly sorry."

Service attendant: "... ..."

Five thousand black cavalrymen formed a neat formation and charged down the hillside, the sound of their hooves thundering, echoing with shouts of "Long live, long live, long live..." The entire troop resembled a massive black dragon, unstoppable as it surged downward, pouncing upon the retreating demon army

He bowed to Zichuan Xiu and said, "Ah Xiu, I entrust this to you!"

Zichuan Xiu: "Since anyone can perform artificial respiration for her, why can't I do it?"

The groom-to-be ran away before the wedding, leaving only a note that said: 'I can't take it anymore!' Now, the jilted old maid, filled with hatred from love, is organizing a suicide squad to hunt him down

Without a doubt, my lord, we have achieved a great victory! The captain of the guard, Gulei, was so excited that his face turned red. This is all thanks to your efforts; please allow me to congratulate you. My lord, you will surely be promoted to a Red Banner official because of this military achievement. Just think, to be less than twenty years old and to stand on equal footing with the governors of various provinces, how remarkable that is! There has never been a precedent for this in our family history!

She rode closer to the "Purple River Show" and noticed that the surrounding guards were all members of the close protection team. She whispered, "Gulei, you are so bold! How dare you wear the master's armor and impersonate him here!"

Bai Chuan, in a moment of clarity, led an army of 30,000 to decisively defeat a demonic force of 80,000. The merit of this achievement by Zi Chuan Xiu is undeniable and cannot be taken away by anyone. Given this, it would be wise to extend a favor, preventing others from harboring excessive resentment towards him. Such consideration is truly meticulous and flawless

Zichuan Xiu and Mingyu were chatting and laughing happily when suddenly he turned around and asked, "Baichuan, Roger, what are you two whispering about?"

By the way, I want to ask him clearly, to uncover his true nature hidden beneath the facade of being lazy, lecherous, and cowardly

Zichuan Xiu was astonished to see that Baichuan had surprisingly calmed down, and couldn't help but exclaim: No wonder it is said that women are more resilient than men in critical moments

Lobo pleaded: "Don't be so ruthless... Just give me back my brandy."

Shirakawa's expressionless face: "Now my opinion has changed... Hurry up, we don't know him!"

The majestic Valen Fortress was built in the 456th year of the Empire's calendar, situated at this gap, guarding the Changhe Road, and is renowned as the foremost fortress on the continent (excluding the Demon Lord's Great Demon Fortress). Its significant strategic position is self-evident. The fortress is incredibly strong, and there are rumors that say: "As long as one takes refuge in Valen, there is no fear even if the gods are enraged"

Gulei whispered, "My lord, this woman must not act recklessly; otherwise, the military law will bring us trouble."

Why? Shirakawa Riya ignored him, thinking: "Could it be that at this moment he is revealing a side of himself that is unknown to others? I must go in!"

Roger let out a cheer: "Long live!" He turned to his subordinates and shouted, "Follow me!" and galloped away.

Oh, I will let you do your work well

Zichuan Xiu's response is a mysterious smile, a smile that Luo Bo is quite familiar with, having experienced hardships multiple times.

They only know that it was done by a human tribe—do you understand? To the demon tribe, we humans all look the same, just as those green-skinned monsters appear identical to us. They are terrifying individuals, burying themselves in the sand, waiting for the demon commander Gasha to pass by, and then suddenly emerging from the sand to kill, each strike being fatal.

A general clad in silver armor stands tall at the peak of the hill. His imposing figure exudes the unique authority of a commander, and the setting sun casts a brilliant glow on his silver armor, making him stand out like a deity amidst the dark mass of cavalry.

Sir, we cannot bear to delay your bright future! (Let us go, let us go, to harm the people of the capital!)

Baichuan patiently waited and waited and waited... until the sound of snoring came from the sleeping bag: "Hoo—ru, hoo—ru!"

Therefore, after you were promoted to Deputy Commander, the only path left for you is to return to the imperial capital and participate in the reserve officer candidacy. However, Commander Geng Xing also believes this is preferable, as Miss Zichuan Ning is nearing sixteen years of age, approaching the legal age for inheritance. One cannot rule out the possibility that someone might harbor malicious intentions because of this, and your return would allow you to protect her closely

Zichuan Xiu: "That just proves you haven't watched enough Hong Kong television dramas; such plotlines are quite common in them."

Oh, that is the liaison officer sent by the Gexiqi faction. He has just entered our Deputy Commander Luo's office to submit documents

Shirakawa Maruko: "This is a great victory, my lord, congratulations to you, you have truly worked hard!" Internally cursing: "Indeed, sleeping, eating, drinking, and dealing with women... how exhausting!"

A courteous gendarmerie officer regretfully informed him: "According to the orders of President Yang Minghua, Your Excellency is charged with 'illegal mutiny', 'insubordination', 'unauthorized troop movements', and 'abuse of power'. A decree has been issued to strip you of your command over the military. You have the right to remain silent and may present your reasons at a military tribunal... You have the right to remain silent and may present your reasons at a military tribunal..."

The reason it was not spoken out loud is due to the fear of shaking the morale of the troops, and also because...

Deputy Commander Luo Bo gritted his teeth: "A Xiu, look at the good deed you've done!"

The battle is intense; where has the adult gone

Zichuan Xiugang replied with a bow: "At your command! As long as I have breath in me, I will never allow the young lady to suffer even the slightest harm! Please rest assured, my lord!" He deeply bowed in return, feeling a surge of heroic spirit within his chest

The issue is that there are currently only three active deputy commanders in the Far East Army, and we do not have any additional positions available to accommodate you, do you understand

Her first reaction was to grab a knife to attack someone—however, she was not carrying any weapons today

Zichuan Xiu nodded: "Deputy Flag Officer Roger has just sent the battle report. He has secured seven white capes, and the estimated number of enemies killed is around ten thousand. This confirms that the main force of the demon clan is essentially no longer present; what remains is merely the cleanup operation on the battlefield"

Ming Yu shouted: "This is too abnormal—it's a trap! Roger has already fallen into it and is surrounded!"

He walked into the office and closed the door: "No one is allowed to enter, it is too dangerous!"

Deputy Flag Officer Mingyu Youyou said: "Didn’t someone say the day before yesterday that we were doomed this time, so everyone should hurry and escape!"

Gu Lei replied with a serious expression: "Rest assured, my lord, we see nothing and hear nothing!"

Zichuan Xiucheng, in a state of fear and trepidation, said: "Yes! I acknowledge my guilt! I should not have spoken carelessly without understanding the situation, disrupting the normal order, and causing my colleagues in the brother unit to be wrongfully arrested and suffer unjustly. I sincerely apologize and will reflect on my actions!"

The captain turned around and shouted: "Bring it up for the adult to review"

"Sir, however, my fighting skills are quite poor..."

Did she not interrogate?

Baichuan, filled with anger, rode back to the front lines, while the other two deputy flag officers cast inquiring glances at him

On the evening of the second day, the victorious Zichuan Xiu troops entered the city of Shajia, receiving a welcome from the citizens that was almost frenzied in its enthusiasm

Oh, there is one more thing. Didn't you just say you would repay me with your life? Then you take my wine...

Zi Chuan Xiu: "Oh?"

Catch the freeloader! It's him, the one staring blankly out the window!

At this moment, everyone heard the voice of Zichuan Xiu coming from a nearby small bar: "How much is a bottle of Green Land beer?"

The Liu Feng family laughed heartily, all saying that the eleven-year-old new leader of the Zichuan family had gone mad, intending to exhaust all the military forces of the Zichuan family at the foot of the imperial capital— they continued to laugh until that nightmarish deep night

You have amnesia! Speak to me, someone!

Luo Bo: "... ..."

Gu Lei was overjoyed: "Thank you, my lord, for your cultivation! I will certainly dedicate myself wholeheartedly to repay your kindness in promoting me, willing to go through fire and water without hesitation..."

Sir, my memory has never been very good. I am unsure which matter from seven years ago you are referring to. Could you please provide me with a hint?

... ...

He immediately issued a decree to various legions and local garrison troops, commanding them to reach the imperial capital within one month—this was, of course, impossible. If they truly came, they would suffer heavy losses from relentless pursuit, and it would also attract the forces from other regions to the imperial capital.

Ming Yu stopped her: "You do not have the authority to issue a full military mobilization order; only those in power have that right"

Thus, she could no longer endure it and poured the boiling water in her hand...

This time, it was heard that the demon army was pressing down, and the family only sent an eighteen-year-old young samurai to confront them—wasn't it because he bore the surname Zichuan? Otherwise, how could he have risen so quickly to the position of samurai at such a young age? Everyone had long since lost hope and began to pack their belongings in preparation for fleeing. ... As a result, this young samurai unexpectedly encountered some incredible luck, and the demon army collapsed without a fight ...! ... When the news arrived, the entire city erupted in jubilation! As a result, this young samurai unexpectedly encountered some incredible luck, and the demon army collapsed without a fight ...! ... When the news arrived, the entire city erupted in jubilation!

Later, it was calculated that the Zichuan Xiu troops were stationed in Shajia City for less than a week, and ten months later, the city's birth rate was 169% higher than usual! Moreover, most of the names given were "Huai Jun," "Nian Bing," and "Ai Jun"

One can tell from his signature silver armor that he is the youngest and most legendary among the so-called "Three Great Young Generals of the Zichuan Family," Zichuan Xiuqi.

According to the official historical records of the Zichuan family: "In the year 778 of the Empire Calendar, during the Fifth Battle of Hengchuan, Zichuan Xiuqi personally arrived at the front lines, leading by example and bravely fighting against the enemy, which greatly inspired the morale of the entire army! His subordinates, Deputy Flagbearers Roger, Baichuan, and Mingyu, showed no fear of the formidable enemy, united their forces, and commanded with composure. Ultimately, in this battle, they achieved a decisive victory with 30,000 cavalry against 70,000 demon troops, killing and wounding over 40,000 and capturing more than 10,000. Additionally, the demon race's most renowned general, Gesha, was personally slain by Xiuqi in this battle, delivering a heavy blow to the demon race and marking the first turning point in the Sacred Defense War."

Roger and Mingyu both expressed their sentiments: their hearts are weeping, as their hearts are silently mourning for their wallets

You are quite ruthless! Just wait for the next time. Listen carefully, the Command Office has issued an official document. Due to the outstanding performance of the Zichuan Xiubanner in the battle of Hengchuan, which brought glory to the family’s Eagle Banner, the Command Office, after consulting with the Chief and the Elder Council, has decided to award the Xiuchuan Banner with commendation and promotion

As in the past, Luo Bo gained nothing.

Zichuan Xiu: "Oh, Baichuan, look, this is truly wonderful! We can be together again, no wonder Roger and Mingyu are so delighted that they fainted..."

Shirakawa also felt a dazzling white light before her, but she resolutely endured it

Zichuan Xiu (Captain of the Imperial Guard, Gu Lei) said with a mournful expression: "Commander Baichuan, I do not wish for this either. It is just that the superior insists on having me stand here in this cumbersome attire without moving... It is so heavy, I am utterly exhausted, it has already crushed three warhorses..."

Oh dear, how can you speculate about your superior, Vice Flag Bai?" A cunning glint flickered in Zichuan Xiu's eyes, the very expression of having one's thoughts seen through. "Let him go, it’s no problem.

Waitress: "Because you are heroes!"

Luo Bo: "A Xiu, you must understand that people always prefer to keep dangerous things in plain sight. Your talents and abilities are quite dangerous to someone; if you were to honestly rise to the position of a Red Flag Shogun, you would, by the system, be able to command seventy thousand troops of the Far East. This would cause someone to lose sleep at night."

When everyone had eaten their fill and was contentedly (or pretended to be content) rubbing their bellies to rest, Zichuan Xiu suddenly remembered something: "Look at my memory! I have official business to discuss, and I forgot to mention it to you all."

By the eighth time, the Liufeng forces had retreated to the border between the Liufeng family and the Zichuan family. In front lay the Zichuan border defense army, consisting of 300,000 vengeful and furious soldiers, standing ready. Behind them was Zichuan Xiu, leading elite cavalry in hot pursuit—he would rather choose death than turn back to engage in battle with Zichuan Xiu.

The voice of the service attendant: "Three silver coins, sir officer"

Shirakawa was astonished: "Are there such masters in the Far East? Their martial arts are extremely strong, and they are both resilient and cold, burying themselves in the sand..."

The two deputy bannermen simultaneously exclaimed: "Oh!"

Shirakawa took a deep breath and opened the document; the command was very simple, just one sentence: "Hereby appointing the three samurai, Roger, Mingyu, and Shirakawa, to serve under Vice Commander Zichuan Xiu, and to return to the imperial capital on official business. Chief of Staff of the Far East Army, Rob, Year 778 of the Empire"

Ming Yu: "Bai Chuan, I feel that something is off with you today. It's been twelve hours, and you haven't scolded Xiu Chuan even once! Are you feeling unwell today?"

Shirakawa sighed: "My lord, you are forcing my hand..."

"Ha, when did I ever say such a thing?" He turned to Shirakawa, "Is someone talking about you?"

The officers, gendarmes, and clerks present all held great admiration for the bravery and composure of Zichuan Xiuqi, thus no one noticed that the briefcase he brought was quite full and emitted a "clattering" sound of water.

"I admit I am afraid of you, but it is not as if I have not been struck by you before. Let me tell you something: I just interrogated some captured soldiers, and their accounts are quite strange. They said that during their attack, Commander Ge Sha and Deputy Commander Yun Shen were both assassinated, causing the entire army to lose its command, resulting in chaos and a collapse without a fight."

Why are you opening the window? We are not hot at all

Zichuan Xiu: "Why?"

She quietly asked Roger, "Are you sure the money you have is really enough?"

The deputy banner lord Shirakawa cast him a glance and did not respond to him

The solemn monk-priest, clad in a robe, offered fervent prayers for them: "Thank you, our invincible protectors! May the protection of the God of War always accompany you!" Normally, no one believed in their deity... With nothing else to do, it was a rare opportunity today to promote their faith without being stoned...

Indeed, esteemed one, when you have the time, you may return to visit us! (It would be better if you do not return!)

It is regrettable, my lord, that they are still shamelessly alive. The situation is that we have won, and the demon army is in retreat.

However, that is truly unnecessary, as this batch of captives consists entirely of goblins—small beings with green skin. They are exceptionally skilled in craftsmanship but possess very poor combat abilities. Their temperament is gentle, making them easily submissive to authority. The demon army primarily uses them for labor, and they can also be sold in the human market as servants. In the imperial capital (Imperial Capital: the residence of the Zichuan family), it is said that they can be sold for as much as 30,000 currency units each

Even Liu Feng from Xishan barely escaped with his life. By dawn, he had just gathered the defeated soldiers, intending to counterattack. However, almost as soon as his troops were assembled, the cavalry of Zichuan Xiu appeared, leading to a massacre. The defeated soldiers, still in shock, were routed in a single blow

Zichuan Xiu: "Oh, it's nothing, I just mixed up the time and space, everyone can just pretend they didn't hear it!"

The Guchi Mountains serve as the boundary between the Far East and the territory of the Zichuan family, with their steep and perilous peaks forming an almost insurmountable natural barrier. The only passage connecting the Far East and the family's hinterland is the Longhe Highway, which traverses the sole gap in the Guchi Mountains.

Eh? Why aren't you speaking? Baichuan, why are you touching Roger's clothes... Why did you take his wallet? And Mingyu's wallet...

Shirakawa (in a low voice): "I suspect that idiot is deliberately making things difficult for us. Look at the dishes he ordered: golden roasted suckling pig, golden roasted lobster, golden roasted chicken, golden roasted duck, golden fruit pie, golden candied vegetables, golden brandy... Eating so much gold, it would be best if he got constipated and died!"

A head pokes out from the sleeping bag, with sleepiness all over the face

Indeed, victory is victory, irreplaceable and indisputable. The countless corpses of the demon race lying on the ground resemble harvested autumn crops, serving as evidence. At this moment, she felt cold sweat seeping through her clothes. If her judgment at that time had been slightly flawed, the ones lying on the ground would have been the cavalry of the Zichuan family, and she would have borne the primary responsibility for it. Even if she could survive the battlefield, she would undoubtedly not escape the execution squad of the Inspectorate upon her return. At this moment, she felt cold sweat seeping through her clothes.

Zichuan Xiu resolutely stated: "No way! I was just saying it... Three bottles of century-old wine and one bottle of royal brandy are worth much more than my life! Even if you kill me, it won't be worth it!"

Robota elongated the sound: "Deputy Commander! Order Issuer: Supreme Commander Yang Minghua. Through: Chief of Staff Luo Minghai, Commander of the Far East Army Ge Yingxing, Commander of the Border Defense Army Minghui, Commander of the Central Army Lei Xun, Commander of the Black Flag Army Fang Jing, Commander of the Imperial Guard Pigu. Imperial Year: 778, July 28."

Shirakawa retracted his fist: "It's nothing, I merely changed some of my views about him..."

Roger grimaced (in a low voice): "At worst, I’ll just have to push you down and take your place. Why did Lord Xiuchuan choose such a place? Tonight’s meal will cost me half a year’s salary, or we could share the burden among the three of us"

Wailing! The sound of horns echoed from all directions as the cavalry assembled, forming lines of skirmishers.

In the Zichuan family, the luck of the victors is far worse than that of the vanquished

Um, um, um. Zichuan Xiu interrupted Gu Lei's declaration of loyalty, murmuring to himself: "It seems that living a simple life is indeed a kind of happiness..."

Oh?

The Far East Army of the偏生紫川 family has not been very effective, consistently suffering more defeats than victories against the demon army, leaving the citizens exhausted from fleeing and in great distress

Faced with Shirakawa's skeptical gaze, Shikawa Hideo took out a promotional flyer from the tent, which read: "The Imperial Capital Funeral Home offers a 40% discount from June 1 to August 30. We welcome your patronage!"

Shirakawa anxiously said: "But, sir, we have worked hard to achieve this situation; we should take advantage of our victory and press the attack!"

Our esteemed President, His Excellency Yang Minghua, possesses innate wisdom in his official duties, demonstrates decisive command, is exceptionally wise, and has a far-reaching vision. In terms of personal virtue, he is morally upright and reliable in character. He treats his subordinates with kindness and warmth, is strict with himself, and generous towards others. He serves the Chief Commander with unwavering loyalty, and what is even more commendable is that he harbors no selfish thoughts, dedicating himself solely to the greater good of the family, earning the heartfelt affection of all the soldiers in the army. Whether in terms of benevolence, wisdom, or courage, he is a model for us, the soldiers of the Zichuan army, and commands my utmost respect! Whether in terms of benevolence, wisdom, or courage, he is a model for us, the soldiers of the Zichuan army, and commands my utmost respect! Heaven has bestowed great talent upon our family; may the divine grant him longevity, which would be a tremendous blessing for the entire clan...

His escape was solely due to the assistance of his daughter, Liu Fengshuang, along with a touch of luck. Later, many military historians believed that if Zichuan Xiu had not encountered an accident and could have commanded the entire army, even with the genius Liu Fengshuang's support, Liu Fengxishan would not have been able to escape, let alone return to inherit the position of the head of the Liu Feng family

Zichuan Xiu's expression was equally solemn: "This means that from now on, I can also have a beautiful woman as a secretary to please the eyes, hide wine in the office, and no longer have to fear the constant nagging from the supervisory office!"

Zichuan Xiu furrowed his brow: "When did the Far East Army start engaging in kidnapping?"

Roger pretended to touch Shirakawa's forehead: "Hmm, it's so hot, do you have a cold... Ouch!"

Zichuan Xiuman was filled with the hope of being embraced by beautiful women holding flowers in celebration of victory, but what he encountered instead was being awakened in the middle of the night in the military camp, only to find that his entire guard had been disarmed... Surrounding him were the densely packed execution squad of the Family Supervision Bureau.

The female secretary turned pale with fear: "But he has an officer's certificate and a security order, as well as documents..."

It has been proven that Valen is indeed worthy of this honor. Since the establishment of the Zichuan family, the demon army has launched large-scale attacks exceeding one million troops four times, and the Zichuan family has relied on the strong and thick walls of Valen Fortress to withstand them. Even the formidable demon army has only returned in defeat before it

As he watched the figure disappear, Bai Chuan felt increasingly unable to see him clearly

Shirakawa: "Oh, we are smiling on the outside, but our hearts are weeping!"

The crisis lasted for five minutes until Xiuchuan Qiben appeared at the door, drenched in sweat: "No sign of him; he may be hiding elsewhere"

She wanted to curse loudly—however, upon seeing Zichuan Xiu's seemingly invulnerable "sincere" smile, she realized that cursing would be futile

"Shirakawa, think about it. Roger's troops are cavalry, and their mobility is much stronger than those bulky demons—if you can't defeat him, you should at least be able to escape, right?"

In the most prestigious and expensive Tianmeng Restaurant in Valen City, the newly promoted samurai Roger, Baichuan, and Mingyu jointly hosted a farewell banquet for their superior, Deputy Commander Xiuchuan, who is being transferred to the capital.

On the night the command was issued, eight hundred elite cavalry, led by Zichuan Xiu, donned the uniforms of the Liufeng family and stormed into the Liufeng camp, committing murder and arson while spreading rumors: "Not good, the main force of the Far East Army is coming!" "The Zichuan family's loyal army has already assembled, with a total strength exceeding one million!"

I heard that our Deputy Commander Lin Bing is getting married and will be going on a three-month honeymoon leave

The cavalrymen halted their horses with a sense of relief, having pursued for a full five hours. They were utterly exhausted, yet no one dared to approach this female tyrant. Everyone was well aware of Ming Yu's plight. To the soldiers, she seemed even more terrifying than the so-called invincible Demon King of the age

Ming Yu: "We do not know, hetushucom.com, but perhaps the adults do. Every time an adult calls for Roger to appear, it means: 'Now there is no need to think, just charge forward.' We will win; I have confidence in the adults"

Ming Yu seemed to be deep in thought: "But I believe our samurai must be aware of this, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have ordered us to attack..."

"Oh dear, fortunately I am quite agile, I almost got struck by you!" Zichuan Xiu, still shaken, said: "Deputy Flag Officer Bai, you are being too reckless. Do I really look like the kind of lecherous person who would tease an ignorant young girl? Ah, Gu Lei, what kind of expressions are you all making?"

She strode into the central military tent, only to see Zichuan Xiu embracing a beautiful young girl, preparing to kiss her

Bastard, you don't need to think, clearly see the order, it was issued by President Yang Minghua

The cavalry captain noticed that Zichuan Xiu seemed a bit disappointed, and felt quite embarrassed. He resolved to please him: "My lord, you know, we have discovered some strange things among the captives."

However, the enemy has between 50,000 and 60,000 troops, while Roger's forces number less than 5,000

Did he leave any instructions

Zichuan Xiu: "Please report the situation, Deputy Flag Officer Bai."

Zichuan Xiuye was astonished, Deputy Commander! He was promoted directly from the rank of banner officer, surpassing the level of the red-clad banner officer, to the position of Deputy Commander! ... He never expected it to be like this

"That is what a clever person would do!" Zichuan Xiu began to look around, "Where can I find a secluded spot to set up a tent? That place won't do, it's too open and lacks charm. Here, tsk tsk, there are too many mosquitoes, it would be uncomfortable to stay..." As he spoke, he kept casting a lecherous gaze at the young girl, making her feel uneasy, causing her to itch, feel cold, tremble, shiver, break out in goosebumps, and her hair to stand on end, as he continued to stare at her...

... ...

Roger asked Baichuan: "Earlier, you mentioned your opinion about him..."

Lord Xiuchuan has ordered Deputy Flag Officer Luo to launch an attack

That idiot! So happy to be sending himself to his death!" Bai Chuan cursed resentfully

Are you still angry with me? Isn't my apology enough... Mingyu, as a man, let's not bicker like women, shall we

Zichuan Xiumo asked in confusion: "Is there anyone who wants to pursue?"

Shirakawa felt an ominous premonition, but quickly reassured himself: it couldn't possibly get worse than the current situation, could it

Lobo shouted, "I don't care if that little flag warrior dies!" Lowering his voice, he added, "Where's my drink? Three bottles of century-old red wine, and one bottle of royal brandy!"

Zichuan Xiu: "You should think this way: this young girl is Kadan, the third princess of the demon clan. She is a very important captive for our army, and she has fainted due to excessive shock from being captured. Your upright and noble superior, Xiuchuan (Xiuchuan is the pseudonym of Zichuan Xiu), is selflessly preparing to perform artificial respiration for her—this is the normal line of thought!"

Yang Minghua is your superior...

Bai Chuan turned back to think; the facts were indeed as such. However, at that time, the tone of Zi Chuan Xiu... Fortunately, they won. If they had lost, the responsibility would have fallen entirely on him. Thinking of that consequence, Bai Chuan felt cold sweat continuously seeping out, soaking his clothes from behind.

The Flowing Wind Army, awakened from their slumber, faced darkness, fierce flames, and blades... unable to mount any effective resistance. Moreover, they had no means to resist, as everyone was dressed in the same attire. Often, someone would shout: "Do not strike! We are our own people; the enemy is over there!" And then a blade would come slicing through...

Zichuan Xiu had a look of astonishment: "Ah, this is really unexpected. Did we actually win?" He pulled his head back into the sleeping bag, "Let me think about this for a moment"

Zichuan Xiu leaned in close to the female secretary with a serious expression, glanced cautiously to the left and right, and whispered, "Miss, do you recognize the person over there wearing the small flag samurai uniform?" He pointed to an officer who had just walked out of the command building.

She turned around, went out, and brought back a bottle of boiled water: "I will count one, two, three!"

Shirakawa: "Adult, please wake up, please wake up..."

In a fit of anger, Zichuan Xiu initiated a mutiny with the 800 cavalry he brought back, seizing control of key locations such as the General's Office, the Command Center, and the Military Affairs Office, thereby gaining the authority to mobilize troops

Everyone work together to give him a beating and then send him to the police

The guard captain, Gu Lei, stepped forward to greet: "Deputy Flag Officer Bai, the lord has instructed that you cannot enter!"

Sir, is that even possible? The discipline of the Far East Army is strict, and alcohol is prohibited during working hours—could there really be alcohol in your office? That is absolutely impossible. You uphold military discipline and enforce the law with unwavering authority, as is well known among all the soldiers of the Far East. How could such a thing happen? This must be a baseless rumor spread by someone shameless, aimed at tarnishing your reputation. I absolutely do not believe it, so please rest assured!

Absolutely not! The three of them screamed simultaneously

Once the figures of the cavalry disappeared, Scholar Zichuan let out a couple of sly chuckles: "Fortunately, that woman from Baichuan is not here; otherwise, it would be troublesome"

However, the two hundred thousand soldiers of the Liufeng Army who came with the Liufeng from the West Mountain clearly did not have such fortunate daughters and luck, with less than one third able to return alive

The guards inhaled simultaneously, and in the quiet of the night, the sound was particularly jarring

This is a very handsome young man, or perhaps, judging by the youthful smile on his face, he could also be considered a boy. His bright eyes appear somewhat dazed, and his soft black hair is tousled across his forehead, exuding a sense of untamed charm

Zichuan Xiu: "Indeed!"

When Shirakawa saw from a distance this revered figure of the entire Far East Army (Far East: a collective term for the region east of the ancient Qiqi Mountains governed by the Zichuan family, comprising twenty-three provinces), he silently sighed.

Shirakawa: "According to the captives, the reason for the great defeat of the demon army was the assassination of the commander and the deputy commander by a mysterious assassin. None of us frontline commanders were aware of this matter. I wonder how you came to know of it and issued the order for us to attack"

This time it was because he was lucky, encountering the demon faction's stroke of bad luck

What are you saying, sir?

Shirakawa: "What might happen over there?"

Luo Bo stared at him intently, as if trying to find even a hint of insincerity in that smile—"Zichuan Xiu's smile" has become a widely circulated metaphor in later generations, typically used to refer to characters such as fraudulent salespeople and insurance agents

The cavalry captain replied: "Reporting to you, my lord, we are the 7th squad of the 3rd battalion of the Roger unit, currently on a mission to transport prisoners."

He just took a shower in the back mountain, had a barbecue meal, and is now in bed sleeping

Bai Chuan discreetly gestured with his middle finger and respectfully inquired, "My lord, there is a matter I do not understand and would like to seek your guidance on"

Ah, it is rare for you, Deputy Bai, to be so understanding of my situation... To be honest, I have indeed been quite exhausted. After a long day of labor, it is time for me to rest. I appreciate your efforts, Deputy Bai, and I entrust you with the vigilance work at the headquarters.

Bai Chuan: "As you command, my lord. Our troops have engaged in battle for five hours, and the casualties among the demon forces may range between 20,000 and 30,000. We have captured their main camp and supply convoy. During this campaign, we have killed five of the twenty-five White Cloaks (the White Cloaks refer to the leaders of the demon forces, all dressed in white cloaks) from our troops, while the Mingyu troops have killed four and captured three. Thirteen remain unaccounted for."

He took a briefcase out of his pocket: "This is the new appointment for you three samurai, issued by Deputy Commander Robbo. Roger, you can take it and read it yourself"

Shirakawa turned back and shouted, "All troops! Advance!"

Let him pursue it then

Zichuan Xiu looked at him in surprise: "My lord, you..."

"A Xiu, do you understand the significance of Yang Minghua specifically promoting you to the position of deputy commander?" Luo Bo's expression was grave, showing none of the joy that a subordinate should exhibit upon being promoted.

A few cavalrymen approached from behind, carrying a bulging sack. The captain smiled obsequiously as he untied it, saying, "My lord, this is indeed a rare and valuable item."

... ...

By evening, Liufeng Xishan made another attempt to control the troops. Just as the men and horses had gathered, the sound of pursuing hooves began to echo...

Shirakawa: "... ... not yet."

Shirakawa: "Even if the princess of the demon clan has fainted, anyone can perform artificial respiration on her. Why is it you, an adult, who is doing it?"

I detest those who shake the morale of the troops in the face of battle the most! Roger was filled with righteous indignation, as if the matter had nothing to do with him at all. If I catch him, I will have him executed without fail!

The captain felt very wronged: "Sir, this is definitely not an ordinary girl! We found her in a very beautiful carriage, surrounded by more than a dozen guards for protection. It took us dozens of our men to capture her! This girl certainly has an extraordinary identity; she might even be a high-ranking figure from the demon clan"

Shirakawa: "Deputy Flag Officer Roger strongly advocates for pursuit"

Service attendant: "Excuse me, may I ask if you are an officer from Lord Xiuchuan's army?"

At that moment, the situation on the battlefield underwent an unbelievable change: Roger's cavalry charged down, almost effortlessly piercing into the heart of the demon tribe's stronghold, akin to a red-hot fork plunging into cheese. The demon soldiers offered little to no resistance, scattering in panic, abandoning their armor, and breaking ranks. A demon army of 50,000 was thrown into disarray by a mere fraction of that number of humans, an unprecedented event in history

A cavalry unit appeared from the front and, upon seeing the banner of Zichuan Xiu, immediately saluted while on horseback

Shirakawa argued indignantly: "My lord, consider this: in the stillness of the night, within an empty tent, you are embracing a strange young woman. How am I, as your subordinate, supposed to perceive you in such a situation?"

Seeing the appearance of Zichuan Xiu, I was moved to the point of almost shedding tears, sobbing as I said: "We once faced life and death together, enduring hardships as true friends; how can we forget each other? Come, let us drink to our friendship! Oh, miss, bring five more bottles of Royal Brandy and add a golden roasted whole lamb!"

She immediately became furious, drew her sabre, and slashed forward: "So this is your true nature, Zichuan Xiu! Prepare to face your demise!"

Shirakawa also said: "It cannot be a trap; look at how frantically their soldiers are running, that cannot be feigned! Even if it is a trap, there is still a great opportunity!"

"Give me the office keys!" Zichuan Xiu said without hesitation as he snatched the keys. "Five minutes? The other party is a professional spy; five minutes is enough to plant thirty bombs!"

Stop the pursuit," she commanded

Do you share the same hobby as I do—getting friends drunk and then stealing their wallets? That is not good; I am still sober, unless you are willing to share with me.

Robow stood up with authority: "Currently, President Yang Minghua is arrogant and overbearing, and no one can restrain him. He has already shown signs of disloyalty! Deputy Commander Zichuan Xiu, I command you in the name of my family’s ancestors: spare no effort to protect Miss Zichuan Ning! She is the only offspring left by Lord Yuansheng"

Rest assured, I have made comprehensive preparations

Inside the burlap sack was unexpectedly a young girl! Her attire was somewhat disheveled, clearly made from very precious materials. Having just been released from the sack, she appeared a bit flustered, yet this did not detract from her captivating beauty. Her large eyes were a striking shade of blue, characteristic of the demon race. Despite being a captive, she remained composed, or perhaps pretended to be, glaring at the humans before her who dared to imprison her, exuding an air of dignified nobility without uttering a word.

Despite being a captive, she remained composed, or perhaps pretended to be, glaring at the humans before her who dared to imprison her, exuding an air of dignified nobility without uttering a word.

Zichuan Xiu had a look of bewilderment on his face, as if he had never heard the word "wine" in this lifetime: "What wine?"

Shirakawa: "Wow, how could one possibly think of going there?"

I am just afraid that when you, as an adult, rise to a higher position, you will no longer recognize us insignificant individuals... (Regardless of whether you recognize me or not, I will no longer acknowledge you.)

She refuses to say anything, and we do not have time to ask further. Now we will hand her over to you, my lord; do not miss this opportunity!" The captain said in a rather ambiguous tone.

Shirakawa: "Sir, you are being transferred and will no longer be our superior. We are all very reluctant and feel quite sad about it."

Later, due to the determined rescue efforts of Zichuan Ning, the daughter of Zichuan Yuansheng, the covert assistance of Commander Ge Yingxing from the Far East, the strong protests of the frontline soldiers, and the impassioned speech of his good friend—who is also one of the three outstanding youths of Zichuan, Sterling—at the court-martial, declaring "Loyalty is not a crime!", Zichuan Xiu was spared from the death penalty

Oh! Shirakawa was quite surprised: "Who did this? They have helped us tremendously."

At this time, Zichuan Xiu, still a student at the Far East Military Academy, made an excuse of "field training". With the tacit approval of the commander of the Far East Army, Ge Yingxing (who also served as the president of the Far East Military Academy), he led a team of 800 cavalry students back to the imperial capital, just in time to see his adoptive father, Zichuan Yuanxing, for the last time

"Did we really win?" Facing the devastated battlefield, Zichuan Xiu murmured with a hint of doubt

Zichuan Xiu let out a sigh: "Now I have only one hope left, my lord, is there any possibility of your gastric ulcer undergoing malignant transformation recently..."

Before us, the formation of the demon clan had approached to within a thousand meters. Suddenly, a clear shout rang out: "Draw your swords!" At that moment, twenty thousand sabers were drawn simultaneously with a "whoosh," merging into an uneven band of light that reflected the afterglow of the setting sun. The battle cries were deafening.

Zichuan Xiu: "Oh, when you came to consult me, you said Roger wanted to launch an attack, and I said whoever wants to go can go... Is that how it was? This matter has always been decided by you and Roger, hasn't it? When did I ever give an order for you to go on a rampage?"

Stop pretending to be foolish in front of me! Save that act for Roger and his group of fools! You were the one who assassinated the demon commander in Hengchuan, weren't you? I know you don't want 'someone' to discover your talents and skills, but do you think you can deceive me?

Then ... ...

Shirakawa Chō smiled sweetly, causing Mingyu's spirit to drop by half immediately; as for the other half... that was a trivial matter, not worth mentioning

Zichuan Xiu did not turn back: "Gu Lei, you are as foolish as a pig's head!" he murmured, "This is indeed a great harvest"

Wow!

Due to the high prestige of Ge Yingxing and the formidable strength of the Far East Army, Yang Minghua did not dare to fall out with him. Consequently, Zichuan Xiu joined the Far East Army, starting as a labor soldier and eventually being promoted for merit to warrior, red-clad warrior, ... junior flag warrior, red-clad junior flag, deputy flag bearer, flag bearer ...

I have calculated it; if Roger skips today, we will still make it in time for the discount period. Additionally, I am quite familiar with that boss, so perhaps he won't charge us for the urns...

Yang Minghua wishes to impose a life sentence on him, but the Far East Commander Ge Yingxing interjects calmly, "Wouldn't it be better to send him to serve in the most arduous regions of the Far East? We also need personnel there"

The same process was repeated seven times

She wanted to rush forward desperately—but was unarmed

From the back of the Tianmeng Restaurant came a clamorous voice: "Who has been eating the king's meal? Quickly catch him!"

Was that a mutiny by the soldiers

"That is false!" Zichuan Xiu declared emphatically, "He is an assassin sent by the Liufeng family!"

Luo Bo interrupted him: "Enough, I have no 'ears' here, you can speak freely."

A column of cavalry passed by her, starting with a light trot, gradually accelerating, and finally charging down the mountain towards the demon camp at an astonishing speed, like a vast torrent sweeping across the land, pouring down the mountainside with overwhelming momentum

Zichuan Xiu halted his horse stance and called out, "Which unit is this? What is your purpose?"

Hehe, congratulations to you as well. Zichuan Xiu's smile contained not a trace of joy. If I remember correctly, you are still a junior flag warrior, right? The position of deputy flag master is within reach.

"Stop pretending! The wine you took from my office..." Luo Bo suddenly stopped.

Zichuan Xiu: "Oh dear, hearing you say that makes me quite sad as well. However, looking at your expressions, you don't seem very sad at all; rather, you look like... prisoners who have just been released."

Ahead were the lights of the central army, and before the guards of Zichuan Xiu could intervene, Baichuan had already ridden into the main camp

Ah, do not fall, do not fall, I am awake

The city of Shaga is located near the Hengchuan frontline, and each time the demon race launches an attack, it is always the first to suffer the ravages of war

Zichuan Xiu rubbed his eyes, seemingly very moved: "Having such good subordinates like you is truly my fortune! I almost don't want to leave..."

The former family leader and renowned general Zichuan Yuansheng once said: "If it were not for Valen, we would have perished twenty times by now." This illustrates the significant position of Valen.

The female secretary was captivated by the strong confidence expressed in Zichuan Xiu's words, and involuntarily said: "He just went to Lord Robbo's office, but he only stayed for five minutes, and I was right beside him..."

Zichuan Xiu: "We have taken all the credit; other units will say that we are reckless. If that happens, our days will become difficult."

Zichuan Xiu: "Hero... then I want four bottles!"

Liu Feng of the Xishan believes that the overall situation has been determined and is not in a hurry to attack the heavily fortified Imperial Capital. He divides his forces, sending 50,000 troops back to flank the border defense army, while leaving another 50,000 infantry to besiege and assault the Imperial Capital. At this moment, the family’s Eastern Army is engaged in a critical battle against the demon race, with the border defense army and the Black Flag Army being restrained by the Liu Feng family’s forces, unable to move. Within the Imperial Capital, there are almost no available troops, no commanders to lead, no reinforcements from outside, and the populace is in a state of panic, all believing that the family’s destruction is imminent.

I noticed something was off about him long ago; how could there be such a young deputy commander
