Chapter 592: Blood Boiling

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Don’t underestimate youths. Wei Jin’an won a war when he was only ten.”

Chu Feifeng almost forgot that fact, thinking, ‘That’s right. Wei Jin’an was a terrifying force to be reckoned with. I only wanted to play when I was ten. I couldn’t even shoot arrows well and didn’t want to study.

‘However, that demon was already talented in literature and martial arts when he was only ten. Wei Jin’an was already a top scorer when he was eight. How many freaks are there in this world?! Of course, I can’t forget about the monster behind me.’

“Tens of thousands of our soldiers will die if this continues. Will this work?”

Chu Feifeng had already annexed Pingzhou and reorganized its army. Hence, he had many troops and could accept sacrificing tens of thousands to annex Dingzhou.

Still, he feared not being able to annex Dingzhou and kill Lan Ruozhu even after sacrificing his men.

The man behind the curtain said, “Do you think you can become the emperor

if you can’t kill Lan Ruozhu and annex Dingzhou? Also, you have people helping you this time. It might be harder to take over if you want to try again next time.”

Perhaps hearing the word ’emperor’ provoked Chu Feifeng. He frowned and said, “Fight on!”

Jiang Bao heard the order and commanded the troops to continue attacking the city gate—wave after wave of people charged toward the wall.

Ji Xingye led his men to the city wall to prevent the opposing forces from climbing, while others followed Lan Ruozhu into the prefecture to keep him updated on the battle.

“Master, they’re launching an all-out attack. It doesn’t seem like King Chu Feifengs typical method of fighting.”

“Someone else must be whispering sweet nothings in his ear,” Lan Ruozhu said faintly, “Maybe it’s someone from Beishao or someone from another country.”

Blue Eagle’s expression darkened. “Those people are waiting for things here to become more chaotic so that they can take advantage of the situation.”

Lan Ruozhu agreed that the current situation in Chu Country was severe.

‘Other countries might take advantage of the chaos and annex us if we’re not careful. Fortunately, Chu’s geographical location is beneficial. It won’t be so easy for other countries to destroy Chu.

‘After all, the deceased royal’s ancestors were the ones who originally conquered the land Chu is in.’

Lan Ruozhu said, “Chu Feifeng must’ve arranged for other troops to attack the cities in Dingzhou. Is everyone ready?”

“I’ve dispersed our military forces, and everyone has prepared for battle. We won’t allow Chu Feifengs men to surprise us.”

“Good.” Lan Ruozhu tapped the table with his finger. He looked calm on the surface. However, he feared some cities would be unable to protect themselves if the various factions joined forces to attack Dingzhou.

‘Innocent people will die if that happens. As for my secret army, I’ve gathered them near the prefecture and Dingteng City, where Teng County is.’

Lan Ruozhu was at the main battlefield, and his men could not allow Chu Feifengs army to attack the prefecture. That was the former’s first hurdle to overcome.

He did not want Teng County to face any dangers since that was where the Su family was. He had to ensure no wars would happen there.

‘My sister has too many relatives there, and they’ve put in too much effort developing that place. I mustn’t let anything happen to Teng County. As for the other cities, their military forces are different.

‘I’m just not sure how Chu Feifeng will attack Dingzhou. Still, I must stay in the prefecture and oversee this battle.’

Meanwhile, Su Binglan, Luo Jin’an, and the others rode their horses and set off for Dingyang City at breakneck speed.

The 100-man team Luo Jin’an had gathered was also heading there but from different directions. Then they would rendezvous and gather outside Dingyang City.

On the way back, they pa.s.sed several places and noticed many empty streets. Some people even began robbing others for food while the rest were fighting. These people realized a war was breaking out and began h.o.a.rding food.

Many of these places had poor visibility at night, so Luo Jin’an and the others could not stay overnight, even if they wanted to,

On the other hand, barely anyone was on the streets during the day. Even if people were around, they would buy things or barter for daily necessities. Then these people would hurry home and shut their doors.

They walked hurriedly and did not speak to anyone. They also looked terrified whenever they saw strangers. Su Binglan was outraged when she saw this scene.

Lin Zheng said, “It’s supposed to be livelier at this hour. Everyone should be out shopping for New Year’s goods together. It should be bustling with several stalls selling various foods and snacks.”

Lin Zhengs family was wealthy, with many businesses. Lin Zhengs father sometimes left home to conduct business, and Lin Zheng would travel with him. Lin Zheng was younger then and had seen the outside world.

Whenever the end of the year neared, his father would rush to bring him home. The father-son duo pa.s.sed many places on their journey and noticed how lively these places were. The towns were bustling with people.

Even so, people started hiding in their homes because it was dangerous to stay outside. Fortunately, Su Binglan had prepared food for Luo Jin’an’s subordinates. Otherwise, they would have starved.

With Su Binglan around, these men would not go hungry or freeze.

Lin Zheng could not help but admire Luo Jin’an as he witnessed the latter’s abilities. Luo Jin’an!s spear seemed to come alive whenever the group faced bandits.

He could kill countless people with his spear. His demeanor was intimidating, and his martial arts skills were formidable. Lin Zhengs blood would boil whenever he watched Luo Jin’an in action.

He did not expect Luo Jin’an to be this mighty after recovering from the cold poison. Lin Zheng thought, ‘No wonder Master values her husband so much and treats him well.’

Lin Zheng even started wors.h.i.+ping Luo Jin’an and considered the latter his grandmaster. He also wondered if Luo Jin’an would teach him martial arts after things returned to normal.

‘It would be amazing if 1 could receive guidance from Grandmaster.’

Lin Zheng felt his master and grandmaster’s teachings would be different. Su Binglan was excellent in close combat, and Luo Jin’an was unrivaled in martial arts routines.

‘Grandmaster seems to be born for the battlefield. I don’t know why I feel that way.’

Lin Zheng had seen the battlefield three years ago and admired Wei Jin’an, so he studied war. He suspected that was why he felt that way when looking at Luo Jin’an.

Su Binglan looked at the scene before her and felt conflicted. She thought,

‘The war will implicate innocent lives. Who knows how many will survive?’

With that thought in mind, Su Binglan considered how things would be for Su Teng Village. Her expression turned cold, and she knew she must help her brother protect Dingzhou and her home.

Luo Jin’an observed his surroundings and frowned. He said, “Let’s go.”

He was about to leave when Su Binglan saw an eagle flying down from the sky.

Su Binglan’s eyes lit up. “The eagle must’ve already delivered my message to

Ruozhu.’

The eagle happily flapped its wings and landed when it saw Su Binglan. Then the young lady noticed the letter tied to its claws..
