Heavenly General Sang arched his eyebrows at Heavenly General Bao’s polite question. He didn’t expect that this unruly general would actually ask so politely.

He laughed.

“I can’t tell you his name, but he’s a very interesting youngster in the Capital City who had a lot of connections.” Heavenly General Sang laughed lightly.

In fact, he was also a bit surprised when he met with that young man. The man was clearly still very young, but he had many thoughts that people from this era might not necessarily have. Heavenly General Sang was interested and after some communication, they agreed to share some information from time to time.

He will teach the young man many things.

And the young man will use his connection to help Heavenly General Sang received various important information very quickly and use it on the battlefield.

With these two agreements, the two of them have amicable relationship.

“I’m asking about the person who provided the information from Fei Yang Kingdom’s side.” Heavenly General Bao rolled his eyes impolitely. He was not very interesting in the person who cooperated with Heavenly General Sang.

After all, he was not the type of person who will be able to cooperate with others without making them annoyed.

If he could do business, he would have not become a bandit many years ago.

Tsk.

“Oh, that person.” Heavenly General Sang looked at Heavenly General Bao with a faint smile. “I can tell you if you agree to follow my plan in the next battle.”

The two of them were Heavenly Generals of Shi Long Kingdom. Strictly speaking, their ranks were the same and it was impossible for one of them to follow the order from the others.

After all, they had their own pride, reasons, and also benefit for themselves on the frontline. How could they be willing to back down and follow what other people thought?

Without qualification, no one would dare to order these two.

Now, Heavenly General Sang wanted Heavenly General Bao to follow his order.

In normal situation, Heavenly General Bao will definitely refuse and could even challenge Heavenly General Sang. He was not the type of person who liked to follow the order from other people.

“Follow your order old man?” Heavenly General Bao arched his eyebrows and sneered. “Do you think that I’m someone who will be willing to follow other people’s order?”

“No, but don’t you think it’s worthwhile?” Heavenly General Sang smiled.

Heavenly General Bao was thinking about it and then asked, “Is he here?”

Heavenly General Sang didn’t answer and only looked back at Heavenly General Bao. But that look had given Heavenly General Bao the answer that he needed.

“Alright, Old Man, you win.” Heavenly General Bao sneered.

Heavenly General Sang laughed and nodded.

The other two generals who were nearby, General Deng and General Dong were looking at the two Heavenly Generals not far from them. “He’s very impolite.” General Dong frowned.

General Deng glanced at General Dong. “He had the qualification.”

“I know.” General Dong grumbled. If other generals were to be impolite, General Dong would have long pointed his sword towards that person and yelled. But since the person in question is Heavenly General Bao, whose rank was higher than his, General Dong silently backed away.

He didn’t want to be reprimanded for being disrespectful for his senior.

General Deng shook his head.

He didn’t have much feeling towards Heavenly General Sang like General Dong. For him, it was nothing more than a mission for him to finish, so he stayed here. If he was not ordered to protect Heavenly General Sang, he would have gone to the battlefield a long time ago by himself.

But well, it was not his decision.

…

Time passed quietly.

The next day, the two armies didn’t meet with each other due to their journey to move towards the new location.

Neither side reduced their vigilance, though.

After all, who knew what the other party was thinking and it would be better to be prepared than sorry.

“General Shangguan, you have to be careful,” Shangguan Xiao reminded his older brother. He had this bad feeling for some time and felt that Shi Long Kingdom would not hesitate to use any insidious methods.

Back then when the battles against Zhang Xu Kingdom was at the fiercest, Shi Long Kingdom also used some insidious methods when they attacked Fei Yang Kingdom. If not because of the decision of Shangguan Xian back then, who knew how the situation would be.

After all, Fei Yang Kingdom had no manpower left to help this border when they were fighting against that annoying prime minister.

Now that they were fighting against Heavenly General Bao, Shangguan Xiao was a bit worried that they would use that treacherous method again. After all, Shi Long Kingdom was the one being cornered now and they might not have any hesitation to use any method to ensure their victory.

“I will.” Shangguan Xian nodded.

The soldiers rested.

The next day, before the battle began, the soldiers yelled and screamed early in the morning. Someone ran towards General Shangguan, telling him what they saw on the other side.

“What did you say?” Shangguan Xian heard the report and his face was filled with disbelief.

The next moment, he ran outside of the camp and looked into the distance. On the opposite side, the soldiers from Shi Long Kingdom were already prepared on top of the wall and there were also line of soldiers under the wall.

But the most eye catching is the line of white on top of the wall. Women and children were dressed in white mourning clothes, gathered on top of the wall as if forming a defense line.

And in the middle, Heavenly General Bao’s adjutant was holding a sword towards a woman and a young boy in her arm.

Shangguan Xian’s eyes turned red.

He recognized them: his wife and son.
