Immortal Supreme Sovereign - C123
“Greetings, marshal.” As the four generals knelt down, all of them lowered the weapons in their hands and knelt down as well. Their orderly voices seemed to reach the heavens.
Although this wasn’t the first time he had seen such a scene, he was the general of the Xiao family’s army at that time. Now, he had become the general of the Xiao family’s army, and although he could usually command the entire Xiao family’s army, many decisions made by the general could be refuted by the general of the four armies.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart. He took a step forward and loudly said, “Generals, stand up.”
“Thank you, Marshal.” Xiao Benin was the first to shout out loud. The others followed him and said, “Thank you, Marshal.” After saying that, everyone stood up. Seeing that no one said another word, Jiang Yao and the others became extremely respectful because they were afraid that Yun Jun would show them respect. It was as if they didn’t have any complaints about Xiao Ya becoming marshal.
Nodding his head, Carefree Gorge turned around and knelt on one knee in front of Han Xiao. He said loudly, “Carefree Gorge thanks Your Highness for your promotion. In the future, I will definitely take care of the Xiao Family’s troops and not disappoint Your Highness.”
“Marshal, you’re being too polite.” Han Xiao smiled lightly as he helped Xiao Qian up and continued.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince.” After he got up, Xiao Wei wanted to say something but was interrupted by Han Xiao.
Marshal Han Xiao has never been on the battlefield before, nor has he truly led any troops. Marshal has been in command of the Xiao family for many years, and his combat experience and cultivation are the highest among the Xiao family’s army. Han Xiao said with a faint smile.
“The Crown Prince is right, you are the commander in chief, and you deserve the title of marshal.” Xiao Benin fiercely glared at Jiang Yao and the other two after he finished speaking.
As for Jiang Yao, Dan Xun, and Zhuo Junyang, the three of them felt extremely uncomfortable. Zhuo Junyang, in particular, kept looking around, not knowing what he was thinking about.
A trace of light flashed across Han Xiao’s eyes when he saw the unhappiness in Jiang Yao’s group. His complexion changed as he said, “Marshal, there’s something I don’t know whether I should say or not.”
“Please speak, Your Highness.” Xiao Wei respectfully said.
During this period of time, the internal structure of the Xiao family’s army was very chaotic, and the various armies did not trust each other. Although there were not many casualties, it still had a certain impact on the unity of the Xiao family’s army. Han Xiao said.
Hearing Han Xiao’s words, the expressions of Jiang Yao and the other two changed. They wanted to say something, but in the end they didn’t speak.
As for Xiao Wei, he slowly straightened his back and turned around to look at the crowd, “Your Highness, I believe you’ve all heard the words of the Crown Prince. From the first day we entered the Xiao family army, whether it was outside or inside, we only have a single Xiao family army, but the Azure Dragon army, White Tiger army, Vermillion Bird army, and Black Tortoise Army were formed to create the Four Symbols Formation, not to separate the army from the Xiao family.
The three words’ kill ‘exuded a bloody aura, but it also represented the determination and will to reorganize the Xiao family’s troops. It also meant that Xiao Xianxia was about to show her might.
When they heard the words “kill,” the faces of those who had started this incident immediately changed, especially Jiang Yao and the other two. In terms of the independence of the four armies, those few people had caused a dispute before.
As for Yun Jun, he had asked them to set up camp outside of the Xiao family’s army. Firstly, to let the Yun Army run back and forth in a way that would be too troublesome, and rather, to let the Yun Army give Jiang Yao and the other two a warning. As for the Xiao family’s army, Han Xiao believed that Xiao Xi was not a fool that could use this period of time to subdue the entire Xiao family’s army.
Returning back to the Minghua Hall, Han Xiao saw Xuan Sheng, Murong Qiao, and Bai Feng and immediately came over to greet him. Although they didn’t say it out loud, Han Xiao knew that there were many doubts in their hearts.
“Commander Han, you’ve returned. Where is the Xiao family?” Xuan Sheng was the first to ask.
“I won the position of marshal.” Han Xiao said indifferently.
Hearing Han Xiao say this, the three people of Xuan Sheng’s group’s faces immediately filled with joy. Before they could say anything, they heard Han Xiao continue, “But I gave the commander position to the general.”
“It’s been given to the General? “But …” Hearing Han Xiao’s words, Murong Qiao didn’t even finish his sentence before he was interrupted by Han Xiao.
I know that you all wish for me to become the commander of the Xiao family’s army, but I am too lazy and used to it. I know that you all wish me to become the commander of the Xiao family’s army, but I am too lazy and too used to it. Han Xiao said.
“Since Commander Han has said this, this general doesn’t have much to say. However, this general is worried that the other three generals are unconvinced.” Xuan Sheng said worriedly.
“Han Xiao has already left Yun Jun behind. I don’t think those three people will do anything.” Xi Yun lightly said.
“Xi Yun thanks you this time. If it weren’t for Yun Jun and Jiang Yao, they definitely wouldn’t have acknowledged Xiao Ya so easily.” Han Xiao said gratefully.
“It’s nothing, it’s just that although Han Xiao is able to have Yun Jun stand guard here for you, the Xiao Family’s troops still need to be controlled by Xiao Chi.” Xi Yun said.
“I am very clear on this point, you don’t have to worry too much. But, Xi Yun, I still have something that I need Xuan Yuan’s help with.” Han Xiao said.
“What is it?” asked Xi Yun curiously.
“Follow me first, Xuan Sheng. The three of you can gather together.” With that, Han Xiao brought Xi Yun back to his room.
The day passed quickly. Under the cover of night, the Xiao family’s military camp became extremely quiet. Aside from the sounds of conversation, only the sounds of snoring could be heard.
“Whap.” After returning to the tent, Jiang Yao threw all the items on his table onto the ground. He was still unhappy with the results, so he went back to the tent and ruthlessly stepped on the items until they shattered.
“Why should the army be so angry?” Zhuo Junyang lifted the curtain and walked in with a faint smile.
“You can still smile when you see your position of marshal being snatched away by a little brat. Moreover, he gave it to that fellow, Xiaoxiao, for free.” Jiang Yao glared at Zhuo Junyang in dissatisfaction.
Although the three of them usually didn’t fight each other and looked at each other with hostility, it was rare for them to have the same attitude towards Xiaoxia.
“Why can’t I laugh? His Highness the Crown Prince has broken through the Heavenly Dipper Death Formation, and he has the protection of the crown prince of the Ao Tianhuang Kingdom. This position of commander-in-chief should belong to him.” Zhuo Junyang said with a smile.
Hearing the words “name, place”, Jiang Yao’s face turned even uglier, especially thinking about what he had said to Xiao Wei during the day. He snorted coldly and said, “What name is this, who knows how he broke this formation? It might have been broken using the hands of the Ao Sky Emperor, otherwise, how could he break it?”
“No matter how the crown prince broke the bet, we can’t go back on our promise.” Zhuo Junyang pretended to be annoyed as he said that.
Hearing Zhuo Junyang mention the guarantee, Jiang Yao became even angrier as he said with a cold voice, “I think that from the very beginning, this was a trap set up for us by that brat Han Xiao and Xiao Wei. He had all thought of that guarantee long ago.”
“Hearing you say so, I also feel that the guarantee is wrong, but it’s too late to say all this now. Xiao Wei is already the marshal, so we can only accept our fate.” Zhuo Junyang sighed and said.
“Accept your fate? Furthermore, we cultivators have always been going against the heavens, so we did things that defy the heavens. Yet you actually told me that we accepted fate, could it be that you are also afraid of Han Xiao, Xiao Wei, and the rest? ” Jiang Yao said as he looked at Zhuo Junyang with a disappointed expression.
“Otherwise, what can we do? With the help of the Ao Sky Emperor, the Crown Prince will definitely win against Han Zhao, and at that time, the Crown Prince might even ascend to the throne. As human beings, we can only obey orders, and I’m just sighing about how the marshal left too early, otherwise, he would be very pleased to see that the Crown Prince could ascend to the throne.” Zhuo Junyang sighed and said.
“Hey Marshal, I remember now. Zhuo Junyang, do you think that the death of the Marshal was caused by someone else? Could it really have been Han Zhao’s doing?” Jiang Yao asked.
“Who else could it be? What’s more, wouldn’t the death of the Marshal benefit Han Zhao the most?” Zhuo Junyang pretended not to understand and asked.
Seeing Zhuo Junyang like this, Jiang Yao coldly snorted and said, “That’s what I thought before today, but after what happened today and what you said just now, I’m sure that the marshal’s death was related to Han Xiao and Xiaoxia. Furthermore, the ones who will benefit from the marshal’s death are Han Xiao and Xiaoxia, don’t you see that it’s such an obvious thing?”
“You mean, the marshal is the crown prince and the others?” He shook his head and said, “How is that possible? The marshal is the crown prince’s biological grandfather, how could he?”
“Grandfather? I think that 80% of the time, the Fifth Prince was harmed by him. The words he said the other day were just lies to fulfill his own conspiracy, and at this time, I think that the Third Prince is more suited to ascend to the throne. Unfortunately, there is no chance for us to get in touch with the Third Prince at the Western Gorge. ” Jiang Yao said with a look of regret on his face.
Hearing Jiang Yao’s words and seeing the expression on Jiang Yao’s face, Zhuo Junyang rolled his eyes and said, “Speaking of the third prince, one of my men was once an aide of the third prince. After hearing Jiang Yao’s words and seeing the expression on Jiang Yao’s face, Zhuo Junyang rolled his eyes and said,” Speaking of the third prince, one of my men was once an aide of the third prince.
“Nonsense, Commander Zhuo, if you can get in touch with the Third Prince, then go ahead. With our status in the army, we can’t even get a job with the Third Prince. Why should we bother with that despicable man?” Jiang Yao said.
Seeing that Jiang Yao really hated Han Xiao and Xiao Wei, Zhuo Junyang’s eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation. He gritted his teeth and said after seeing Jiang Yao’s expression become impatient, “Alright, I’ll listen to you. Since we’re here looking for a way out, we might as well look for another way. Jiang Junyang, I’ll go back first. Take care of yourself.” After Zhuo Junyang finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the tent, but he didn’t notice the faint smile on Jiang Yao’s face.
