"Gather the Wind Howling Army …"
"Gather the Longchuan Army …"
"Brothers of the Quick Run Camp, it's time for us to be unrestrained again. Let's welcome His Highness back to the palace. Hahaha!"
The roars of the generals rose and fell one after another, echoing in all the important military areas.
The Wild Bear Army, the Wind Howling Army, the Longchuan Army, the Quick Run Camp, and so on were all troops under Qin Hao's command.
Along with this, the forces that relied on the Sword Alliance were also in an uproar.
"Go and inform Lord Shangshu that His Highness Qin Hao of the Qin people has returned to the palace. Quickly go to the Divine Yang Sect to receive him."
"Inform the Imperial Censorate that His Highness Qin Hao has returned to the palace. Go to the Divine Yang Sect to receive him."
"Tell General Jian Changchun of the Patrol Camp that His Highness has returned to the palace!"
At this moment …
In Shangshu's residence.
Lord Shangshu was talking and laughing with a very important guest.
Suddenly, the private advisor of the residence rushed into the hall. Because he was too flustered, he bumped into the dining table and knocked over all the wine glasses on the table, disrupting the solemn banquet.
"Bastard, how can you be so flustered? Where is your manners?"
Lord Shangshu was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up.
Before the banquet began, he had given a strict order that no matter what happened, no one was allowed to enter the hall without permission.
The private advisor was usually reliable, but today he had taken the wrong medicine and dared to behave atrociously in front of the Ironleg Gang's leader. He had embarrassed himself.
He was considering whether he should teach the private advisor a lesson and resign.
"Lord Shangshu, His Highness … His Highness …"
It was the private advisor's first time meeting Qin Hao. He could not help but be nervous. He used to be very eloquent, but he stuttered at the crucial moment.
Slap!
Lord Shangshu slapped the private advisor's face, causing him to spin three times on the spot. "What a disgrace. His Highness?
His Highness?
Straighten your tongue first. "
Gulp!
The advisor swallowed his saliva and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He spoke again, "Lord Shangshu, it's actually the First Prince of the Qin people, Qin Hao, who has returned. Currently, all the officials are gathering at the Shenyang Sect. I'm here to report that I hope Lord Shangshu can quickly change into your court attire so as not to arouse the displeasure of the imperial family."
"I see!"
Sir Shangshu waved his hand calmly. "You may leave. Later, you will stand at the Divine Yang Sect to receive Qin Hao on my behalf. Tell him that the Old Man is sick.
No matter how important the First Highness of the Imperial Family is, it can't compare to me and Brother Tie catching up. "
After saying that, Shangshu poured a glass of wine with a smile and handed it to a burly man with a full beard.
"What did you say?
Who's back? "
The burly man regarded Shangshu as nothing and stared fixedly at the private advisor's face.
He was the leader of the Iron Leg Gang, Tie Wanli, a Heavenly Saint.
Thump!
Sir Shangshu's heart skipped a beat when he saw Tie Wanli's emotions.
Could it be that Brother Tie and Qin Hao had some grudge against each other? Why was he so agitated when he heard the other party's name?
"Iron Leg Gang Leader, it's the First Highness of the Qin people, Qin Hao. He's back from Luoshui!"
The private advisor lowered his head and answered carefully.
"Aiya, why is Brother Tie asking about such unimportant things? In the eyes of others, the Qin people are the imperial family. However, in the eyes of the Old Man, they're just nouveau riche who got lucky. Come, come, come. Let's continue drinking. Ignore this Qin Hao brat!"
Sir Shangshu waved his wine glass in front of Tie Wanli.
Smack!
Tie Wanli swept his arm and knocked the wine glass to the ground. He breathed heavily from his nostrils and glared at Sir Shangshu with fiery eyes. "Zhang Youwei, His Highness Qin Hao is a young hero. As a subject, you should have knelt down and received him at the Divine Yang Sect.
However, not only did you not receive him, but you also mocked him.
From today onwards, you're no longer my sworn friend. I, Tie Wanli, don't have a friend like you.
Furthermore, the marriage between my daughter and your son is canceled. Tomorrow, my daughter's letter of divorce will be thrown in your son's face.
Farewell. We won't see each other again! "
"Young Master Qin Hao, I can finally admire your grace again. Quick, you dog of a slave, bring me to the Divine Yang Sect!"
Tie Wanli had watched the Four Great Academies' Rising Star Competition before. Qin Hao's charm and magnificent feat of not retreating in the face of despair had deeply impressed Tie Wanli.
Today, he had accidentally heard news about his idol again. He was so excited that he couldn't extricate himself.
The private advisor was stunned. He had specially come to inform Sir Shangshu, but Sir Shangshu had ignored His Highness Qin Hao. However, Gang Leader Tie acted as if he had seen his god.
Moreover, for Qin Hao, he had canceled the marriage between the Tie family and Sir Shangshu's son.
The private advisor didn't react for a moment.
"You blind thing. You deserve to be a slave!"
Tie Wanli cursed. Seeing that the private advisor seemed to have lost his soul, Tie Wanli had no choice but to turn into a gust of wind and fly out. He no longer cared about Sir Shangshu's desolate pleas for him to stay.
Although Tie Wanli didn't know where the Divine Yang Sect was, he knew that he should go to the most crowded place on the street.
"Sir Shangshu, what should we do next?"
The private advisor asked pitifully.
Now that Gang Leader Tie had left, the engagement banquet couldn't be held.
Slap!
Sir Shangshu slapped the private advisor again. "Hurry up and get the court attire for the Old Man. Then go to the Divine Yang Sect to receive His Highness. Why didn't you inform us earlier that His Highness was coming back?
You deserve to be a slave. "
"Aiya, Brother Tie, wait for me. I'll go with you!"
Shangshu also rushed out impatiently. He even forgot to change his court attire.
The private advisor covered his swollen face with his right hand. He wanted to cry but had no tears.
…
The same scene happened again in the patrol camp.
"Hahaha, how is it, Brother Jiang? How does the Jian family's patrol camp compare to your Luoshui's patrol camp?"
On the training field of the patrol camp, the soldiers were practicing under the scorching sun. A solemn atmosphere spread. They were practicing very seriously.
On the command platform, General Jian Changchun of the patrol camp asked a middle-aged man beside him with a smile.
This man was also wearing armor. However, the style of the armor was Luoshui's.
He was one of the four commanders of the Luoshui Imperial City, Jiang Zhenhua.
Of course, Qin Hao didn't know Jiang Zhenhua. However, he knew Jiang Zhenhua's cousin, Jiang Zhengxiong.
"Hmm, not bad!"
Jiang Zhenhua nodded slightly after watching the drill of the patrol camp.
The quality of the Daqin soldiers and their brand-new equipment seemed to be on par with the Luoshui soldiers. However, if the two sides were to engage in a real battle on the battlefield, Jiang Zhenhua could completely judge that the Daqin was actually much weaker than the Luoshui.
After all, the patrol camp of the Jian family had just been established not long ago. They used to be a group of cultivators and couldn't understand the cruelty of the battlefield.
The cultivators didn't fight. Compared to the crazy warriors, the warriors were no different from demons.
However, the Jian family's patrol camp was not bad compared to the armies of Tianlong and Dawei.
"Hahaha!"
Jian Changchun laughed happily.
Although Jiang Zhenhua only said "not bad", Jian Changchun knew that it was very difficult to make the four commanders of the Luoshui say such words.
This undoubtedly proved the strength of the Daqin patrol camp, ah no, the Jian family's patrol camp.
"If Brother Jiang is willing to teach the secret method of training soldiers and tactics to my Jian family, I will give you a generous gift!"
Jian Changchun said.
In fact, he had a good relationship with Jiang Zhenhua in private. This time, he invited the other party to come over mainly to learn the other party's formation tactics.
"This … …"
Jiang Zhenhua was stunned for a moment, but he didn't mind and smiled. "In fact, it's okay to teach you the Luoshui's tactics. Consider it as a thank you for your help!"
When he was a teenager, Jian Changchun accidentally saved Jiang Zhenhua's life during an experience.
"Haha, thank you, Brother Jiang!"
Jian Changjian knew that the other party would not refuse.
