Soldiers, pass on my orders. All generals and soldiers gather under the beacon tower. Sun Xiong Xing came out of the room and ordered loudly.
Looking at the determined faces below, they were the most elite generals of the entire Chouchi Kingdom. They were not afraid of any difficulties. They were brave enough to die. They had their pride and had never been captured. Today, their commander was going to take them to surrender. This made them feel more pain than death.
"Brave Blade! Blade!" The entire army shouted proudly.
"But they have more people than us. Their commander is more resourceful than me. More importantly…" Sun Xiong emphasized the more important words. "Their camp has an old senior who is about to step into the Sacred Beast Body.”
A drop of water dripped into the hot oil and exploded violently. A series of terrified cries came from below. Sacred beasts had the ability to destroy the world. If the enemy really had that many people, they would all die.
"Let me tell you another piece of news. Our capital has long been breached. It was also this general who had taken down the capital. The fact that he could break through the high walls of the Forgotten City in such a short time showed the reliability of having a Sacred Beast. We are only surrendering temporarily. As long as the new emperor ascends the throne, we can be redeemed.”Sun Xiong said.
The soldiers below fell silent. Was it really just temporary? Their fate would probably be worse than death! Standing in the house in the distance, Jun thought that he had already taken off his armor and was dressed as a commoner. He couldn't help but worry for his brothers in the Braving Blade Camp.
"Open the city gates." Squeak! Half of the city gate opened, and some large rocks fell from the other side. "Welcome Flag." General Sun Xiong unfurled his flag. The word 'blade' was not a blade, but a drop of bright red blood. The seniors of the Rising Edge Camp exchanged it with their blood. After folding the flag layer by layer, Sun Xiong carried it out of the city gate. "You dare to risk your life to prove it." The Braving Blade Camp's blood-boiling slogan rang out. These few words were so hot that they took away the bloodlust of the soldiers. The Braving Blade Camp's pride was gone. They were no longer a mighty army, but a group of fish waiting to be slaughtered.
"You dare to risk your life to prove it." Jun silently thought about how proud his brothers were when they told him about it a few days ago.
Li Jie sat on his white horse and pointed his whip at the small city. Go, arrest them all. The soldiers on both sides bypassed Sun Xiong, who was holding the military flag, and poured into the city.
Li Jie took the flag and unfolded it, looking at the seductive blood embroidery. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. He folded the flag and handed it to Sun Xiong. It's better for you to keep it. In the future, these people will still be led by you.
Sun Xiong tried to figure out what Li Jie meant. Should he take them to be laborers or to fight? What did he mean?
"General, we've done a headcount. According to the roster you got from Chouchi Country, there is one less person. Three hundred and forty-one people were injured. All of them were light injuries, none were seriously injured, and none were dead. A total of one thousand three hundred and sixty people.”The recorder under him, Grand Master Ji, brought all the captives to Li Jie. These would be the basis for judging Li Jie's merits.
"That's right. Your subordinates are indeed strong. There were actually zero deaths in the siege.”Li Jie's handsome face was very proud. He had subdued such a powerful army without injuring a single soldier.
He tied the soldiers of the Rising Blade Camp together with ropes. After being escorted out of the city, Li Jie looked at their listless expressions and asked Sun Xiong,""Why do the soldiers look like this?"
"The unyielding faith in their hearts has already dissipated. Without the support of firm faith, how could they dare to talk about not fearing life and death?”Sun Xiong said helplessly. His soldiers were in such a state, and the blow to Sun Xiong was even more intense. It was likely that Sun Xiong's cultivation would not break through again!
"Oh! I understand now. However, I will help them regain their faith and become truly fearless teachers.”Li Jie said heroically.
Jun stood on the small mound, carrying some Wang Lu tickets that Sun Xiong had prepared for him. Wang Lu had a noble aura. The royal family used her as a beast body to increase their noble aura. Therefore, the royal family did not forbid Wang Lu's beast body. Moreover, Wang Lu was very rare in the world. Wang Lu notes were banknotes issued by the royal family and had the highest effectiveness. Any bank in the world would acknowledge its value unless there was a change of dynasty. However, the current Wang Lu Bill was led by the Yan Huang Empire. Various small countries, including the northernmost Bai Lang Empire, jointly printed it. It was also guaranteed by the Sacred Beast Alliance, which was a sect that only existed once every thousand years. This time, Wang Lu's vote was more effective than before.
These Wang Lu tickets were prepared for Jun to save the Second Prince, Yang Xiaozang. Jun watched as the army went far away, then he parted them and went on another path.
On this day, Jun Xing arrived at Mount Coiling Tiger, also known as the Mountain of Bandits. According to the locals, Mount Coiling Tiger was the border of the five provinces. The bandits here were initially ignored by the government, but later on, they did not dare to do so. It had completely become a bandit nest.
Jun heard from the locals that the bandits here were more loyal than the government. They usually went down the mountain to collect some money and food, and they could still survive. The government had been beaten away by them, and it had completely become a country within a country. When the imperial court sent a large group of people, they hid in the mountains. Without someone to lead the way, they could not even enter the mountains. However, the people were better to the people than the government, and the people would not sincerely lead the way for the government. So? He could only let it develop.
Jun knew that there were many bandits on this mountain. He hid Wang Lu's tickets in a broken bamboo and changed into tattered clothes. He dressed like a beggar and walked to a tea shed by the roadside to rest. The person who served the tea was an old man. This old man didn't chase Jun out. Instead, he served the tea to Jun and said,"Young man, I'll give you this bowl of tea for free. Drink it and leave early!”Seeing that this old man thought that Jun did not have money, he still kindly gave him tea to drink.
Jun was stunned that there was still free tea to drink. Not only did he not know whether to laugh or cry, he said to the old man,"Old man! I have money to pay for your tea. It's not easy for you either. Thank you!”He slowly sipped his tea and began to look around.
It was a little boy who looked to be about 13 or 14 years old. He was dressed rather heroically. He was wearing a small leather armor. "Old Wang!" he said impatiently. You're so annoying. I've already told you to leave. Why are you still following me? I just came out to take a look. Get lost." As he spoke, he would occasionally pick up the bamboo in his hand and pat the person who followed him. The person who followed him looked quite smart. He was in his forties and was dressed in a servant's rough clothes. There was also the word 'Wang' on his clothes.
The little boy walked into the tea shed and found an empty seat to sit down. He placed his feet on the adjacent stool. He spat on the ground. "Old man, serve me some tea."”
The servant quickly went forward to take the little boy's foot off and shouted,"Aiya! My young master, the old master told you to be a cultured person. If Old Master finds out about this, he will be punished.”
Jun looked at the little boy's vigorous appearance. He was clearly very young, but he pretended to be an adult. Not only did he laugh out loud, but the other tea guests also tried their best to hold it in. When the little guy entered the tea shed, it suddenly became quiet. At this moment, Jun Xiao's laughter sounded very special, and it was also very ear-piercing to the little boy's ears.
"Hey! You're too full. How dare you laugh at Little Master Wang in this place? Your Little Lord Wang is a low-grade spirit beast, the Howling Forest Tiger King. Do you dare to fight me?”He slammed the table and stood on it.
The servant with the word 'Wang' embroidered on his body quickly pulled him down and said to him from time to time,"Young Master, Old Master told you to pay attention to your image. You have to be cultured. This little brother was embarrassed, but he didn't take his words seriously.”He apologized to Jun again.
"Didn't my father say that he wanted to settle the score quickly? He laughed at me. Shouldn't I challenge him?”The little boy glared at the servant and said.
"But Master doesn't want you to learn from him. He wants you to walk the right path.”the servant said.
The surrounding people began to discuss in low voices. Fortunately, they did not laugh. As expected, it was the Wang family of the big bandits. Only the Wang family could use the Howling Forest Tiger King as a beast body and embroider the word 'Wang' on their clothes. This beggar was going to be in trouble.
Jun naturally heard these words. He had just come from the bandit camp behind him, and there was a flag of the Wang family there. Seeing that he was dressed in rags and did not have anything valuable on him, he did not collect taxes and let him come. Now that he had actually provoked the Wang Clan, he might be in trouble. He thought about how to solve this problem. He didn't want to apologize to this little brat. The dignity of the men that the clan taught him when he was young had already been deeply rooted in Jun's mind.
"Old Wang, don't pull me back. I have to make my own decisions today. It's useless even if you go back and complain.”The little boy shook off the servant's hand.
"Sigh! Alright then! Young Master, don't go too far!”Old Wang advised unwillingly.
"Alright, I got it." With that, he walked towards Junxing. He cupped his fists and said,"This brother, I was rude just now. I am Wang Shi. Please go out and talk."”
"Alright, let's go!" Jun carried the broken bamboo pole and walked to the empty space outside the tea shed.
"This brother, you laughed at me, and I shouldn't have called you a liar. Let's settle this!”The little boy said generously.
That servant and Jun were completely confused. Now, he was actually so easy to talk to.
"But I see that you have an imposing appearance, brother. You're really extraordinary!" I want to learn a few moves from you." After saying that, he pointed at Jun's outfit.
This made Jun very embarrassed. He didn't know what to do. Admit it! That was his face. If he didn't admit it, it would hurt his face even more. "Good! Since this little brother praised me so much, I'll teach you a few moves.”He admitted it shamelessly and belittled Wang Shi.
Sigh! She had thought that the young master had changed, but he was still the same. Old Wang thought that the person who looked like he had transformed was not very capable. He was afraid that he would be injured by the Little Young Master's beast body. When the news reached the Chief, the Little Young Master would be beaten up again. However, he didn't expect that just as the young master Wang Shi summoned the Howling Forest Tiger King's beast form, the young man would summon the Three-Eyed Reckless Bull, which was one level higher than the young master. He was terrified. First of all, not to mention that this young man's level was higher than the young master's low-grade spirit beast, even the quality of his beast body was on par with the young master's. They were both kings of the clan. In comparison, the Three-Eyed Reckless Bull was even rarer and more precious. This was what he had unintentionally learned in the village.
He wanted to stop the duel.
Jun looked at the beast body of the child in front of him. Although it was a tiger cub, it had a domineering aura. It had yellow and white stripes, but there was an additional 'Wang' on its forehead compared to Zhao Meng's Steel Pincer Tiger. Its limbs were more well-proportioned. His mind sank into his dantian and looked at the faint mist armor around the Three-Eyed Reckless Bull. Jun could feel that his spiritual qi level would soon change from a cyclone to a qi armor. The red fire lotus in the center of the vortex was still as peaceful and holy as ever.
When he opened his eyes, he had already turned into a three-eyed bull. He could feel its body. Its skin was as thick as a mountain, and it had boundless strength. It was especially energetic.
Wang Shi, who had transformed into the Roaring Forest Tiger King's cub, could not help but tremble when the huge creature appeared in front of him. After all, he was still young!
Jun Jiang lowered his head slightly and pointed his horns at the little tiger in front of him. Bulls weren't good at attacking. They were better at defending. The Three-Eyed Wild Bull let out a heavy cry as it used its two horns to poke at the tiger cub.
When the little tiger cub saw the huge creature in front of it attacking, it was so scared that it hurriedly retreated. Seeing that it was too late, it immediately turned around and fled with its tail between its legs. He transformed into a human and fled to the old servant.
Jun also summoned back his wild bull beast body. He looked at the little man and coughed."I'm done giving advice. I'm leaving."
"Wait, I have something to say." Wang Shi stuck his head out and said. He originally thought that he was a country bumpkin without a beast body, so he could teach him a lesson. He didn't expect his Howling Forest Tiger King to be frightened. I read those biographies and legends. I've already said that all experts dress like you. If you can't, you have to become sworn brothers with him to explore the world.
"Don't tell me you want your men to make a move?”Jun said angrily.
The servant was only waiting for Wang Shi's instructions. "Big brother, don't misunderstand. I didn't mean it that way. I just want to tell you something. Big brother, what do you think of my character?”Wang Shi quickly explained.
"He's not a good person."
"Big Brother, you just haven't interacted with me before. I think Big Brother, we don't get to know each other without fighting. I wonder if you can acknowledge me as your little brother!”Wang Shi looked at Jun after he finished speaking.
The servant, Old Wang, said anxiously,""Young Master, how can you make a brother so casually? You don't even know his background!”
"Humph! You brat, I'll hand it over." Jun had considered a lot. If he made this brother, the current difficulties would be solved. Besides, it was not bad to have another brother.
"Alright, then let's become sworn brothers.”Wang Shi took out the fire lighter on his body and lit three wooden sticks. If there was no incense, would he use these instead? He placed two bowls of tea in front of the incense.
"I, Wang Shi, and my big brother are sworn brothers today. I don't wish to be born on the same day, but I wish to die on the same day. We should share blessings and difficulties together." Wang Shi knelt on the ground and read aloud.
"I, Jun, and Wang Shi have become brothers today. I don't ask to be born on the same day, but I ask to be born on the same day. We will share blessings and difficulties together.”Jun felt that this was too childish.
After the two of them finished speaking, they drank the tea in one gulp. "Grandpa, calculate how much the tea costs.”After Jun stood up, he called the old tea seller to settle the bill.
"No need, no need," the old man hurriedly said. These few bowls of tea were not worth much. Just treat it as filial piety to the young master."
"What do you mean there's no need? I'm happy to meet Big Brother today. Old Wang will pay.”He pointed at the servant and said.
"Little brother, I will pay for you today." Jun didn't want to owe him a favor. He wanted to end things as soon as possible and escape.
The two argued for a long time before Wang Shi was convinced by Jun. Jun gave the tea money, but the old man didn't dare to accept it. Wang Shi called out to accept it, and the old man insisted on accepting the tea money.
When Jun was about to leave with the bamboo pole, Wang Shi pulled Jun and said,"Big brother, it's not too late for you to accompany me up the mountain for a few days before leaving. There's a big meeting on the mountain now, and everyone has gathered.”
Jun could see that although Wang Shi was a person who grew up in a bandit's nest, he was very sincere and not the kind of sinister and cunning person. If he could cheat at the age of thirteen, then he was very dangerous. She thought that it was no harm to go up the mountain to play for a few days.
Old Wang thought of many things and could not help but smile mysteriously.
