Prince Yang Lu let out a faint helpless smile before he turned stern again. "Let's have a good talk with the officials."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The head guard watched from the back and there was an uncontrollable smile formed on his lips. He had followed Prince Yang Lu ever since he was young and had seen how bratty Prince Yang Lu used to be. But time tempered the previously naughty and arrogant brat to be a proper leader.
He was glad that Prince Yang Lu grew up.
Even though it would be impossible for Prince Yang Lu to hold the highest position now, it was clear that he could at least show his support for his brother and kept his life.
That was good enough.
…
At the wall
"Commander, soldiers from the southwest direction had come!"
"Hmm?"
A middle aged man raised his head. He had a large and muscular body that could easily deter anyone from getting close to him. Unlike his other family members who were more slender, those who looked at him would have thought that he was indeed a giant.
"Leader?"
"Based on the flag, it's from Nan Family."
"Nan?" The middle aged man, Second Commander Hai, let out a faint laugh. "Finally, that old fogey had come here. Maintain the formation and lock the gate. I shall see how they're planning on taking over the city that way."
"Yes, Commander!"
Commander Hai stood at the front, looking at the row of soldiers coming in front of him. There was a smile on the corner of his lips. "To think the day when I'll fight against the legend had come."
He had long waited for this day.
This time, he wanted to prove to the people that the so called legend was nothing much. He was nothing more than a washed up general who couldn't stand against those of the younger generation anymore.
Their time had run out!
"You come, Great General Nan!" Commander Hai shouted.
Great General Nan, Old Master Nan, was sitting on top of the horse while looking at Commander Hai. He sighed internally but his figure stood tall as he rode his horse in front of his soldiers.
"Hou Liang, any message from those in Kuai City?"
"None, Master." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Old Master Nan was a bit worried about his grandchildren. However, he also knew that he was the one who put them inside the city in order to put them in a better position against Hai Family. He hoped that they would be save or this operation wouldn't be worth it.
"Commander Hai, do you really think that you have won this way?" Great General Nan asked back.
"You won't be able to enter." Commander Hai sneered.
Old Master Nan waved his hand. "Heavy armor, stay at the front and then hurry to reach the wall. Bring the ladders."
"YES!"
Hou Liang quickly lead the soldiers to rush towards the large wall before him. It was not the first time Old Master Nan would not make a move personally. After all, there was no worthy opponent that was worth it for him to sacrifice his old body.
If it was back when he was young, he wouldn't mind rampaging on the battlefield.
But now that he was already quite old, he didn't have the intention of exerting his body and possibly put himself in danger for unnecessary matter.
