Chapter 65: Arriving Just in Time (Seeking Collection, Seeking Recommendation, Seeking Comments)

  In the summer country of Kyoto, after the summer country's defeat, it was attacked by both the winter and heavenly countries. The summer country has withdrawn all its military forces to the four surrounding heavy fortresses in Kyoto, forming an iron barrel around the city. It is unknown whether it is the blessing of heaven or something else, but since the appearance of human-shaped monsters, the summer country has indeed been one of the least damaged among the dozens of small countries around it. Who would have thought that they only defended three heavy fortresses and concentrated their military forces together?

  The noble street of Kyoto is still the noble street, but at this moment in Qin Xiao Tian's mansion, it is extremely unpeaceful. Because at this moment, Qin Xiao Tian's mansion has been surrounded by a large group of people.

  "Qin Xiao Tian, I don't believe you can hide in there for long." Liu Ming Sheng swung the horse whip in his hand and coldly laughed.

  "Oh! Oh! Oh!" The soldiers who followed Liu Ming-sheng heard their commander's words and cheered.

  "Damn it, this is outrageous! General, I'm going out to kill that son of a bitch!" Wang Hu said with a furious expression, looking like he was ready to go out and commit murder.

  Qin Xiao Tian furrowed his brow and didn't drink, saying: "Halt."

  "General..." Wang Hu said with a look of grievance.

  "What can a defeated general say?" Qin Xiao Tian sighed and said.

  "General..." In the hall, Wang Hu and several other generals, as well as the guards, all saw their general let out a long sigh, and they all cried out in surprise.

  "Mother's... General, we're not worth it!" Hu Tian, this old general who had fought on the battlefield for over a decade, also couldn't help but have his eyes turn red.

  Qin Xiao Tian saw the scene of his left and right arms, with a smile on his face, stretched out his palm to gently pat the other's shoulder, and said with deep feeling: "Hu Tian, you think it's not worth it, but I, Qin, think it's worth it. Those young men are all heroes, their deaths have value, because they are fighting for our Xia Kingdom's tens of millions of people. If they weren't here, the tens of millions of people in Xia Kingdom would be trampled by the enemy's iron hooves."

  "But General, why must our brothers be sent to the front lines? Your Majesty is really..."

  "Shut up." Qin Xiao Tian's thunderous voice interrupted Hu Tian's next words, his face sinking as he said: "Hu Pian Jiang, whatever decision the Emperor makes is always right. Don't forget, we are subjects."

  "Yes, General." Hu Tian's face turned pale for a moment.

  Liu Shengming, who was outside Qin Xiao Tian's mansion, saw that Qin Xiao Tian did not come out of the mansion and revealed a gloomy smile on his face. He beckoned to one of his followers behind him.

  "What does the general have to say?"

  "Liu Shengming whispered something in his subordinate's ear and then waved his hand: "You go quickly and come back quickly.""

  "Yes, General." The deputy general beckoned and led a team of about 100 people to rush towards another road on the other side of the street.

  After a hundred breaths, the small team reappeared in front of Qin Xiao Tian's mansion, following the soldiers was a woman. Although this woman was dressed in luxurious clothes, her face was filled with vicissitudes.

  Liu Shengming saw the woman and smiled, facing Qin Xiao Tian's mansion and shouted: "Qin Xiao Tian, listen to me! If you don't come out within ten breaths, don't blame me for being impolite. I've carefully prepared a big gift for you!"

  "It's terrible, General! Liu Shengming has actually captured the Chief of Staff's mother!" a soldier from the Hu Ben Tuan shouted from outside the hall.

  "What?" Qin Xiao Tian and others heard this news, each of them stood up from their chairs in shock.

  "Damn it, Liu Shengming is so shameless." The three brothers Wang Hu cursed in unison.

  Qin Xiao Tian's facial expression changed several times before he seemed to have made up his mind, and then walked out of the great hall with a resolute stride.

  Hu Tian saw Qin Xiao Tian's action and hastily flashed to his front, blocking the way: "General, it's not okay! That Liu Shengming is just trying to trick you out of the mansion to deal with you, absolutely not okay!"

  "Get out of the way!" Qin Xiao Tian said coldly.

  "General, Wang Pianjiang is right, this scoundrel wants to lure you out of the mansion, absolutely not!" The three brothers Wang Hu also hurriedly dissuaded.

  "Nonsense! Am I supposed to just stand by and watch something happen to my brother's wife? I promised my brother that as long as I, Qin, am around, his wife will be safe."

  "But General, Liu Shengming won't be humiliated so easily, I implore you to reconsider!" Hu Tian begged bitterly.

  "Get out of the way." Qin Xiao Tian directly waved his hand and pushed aside the four Hu Tian who were blocking in front of him, striding out of the hall door and walking towards the entrance of the mansion.

  "Damn it, let's go all out." Hu Tian and the other three saw that they couldn't stop the general, so they might as well smash everything and go down together.

  "Wang Bao, immediately gather all the guards in the mansion and prepare for battle." Wang Hu ordered his third brother.

  "Yes, big brother." Wang Bao immediately left.

  "Hey! Isn't this General Guo of Xiaguozhen? It's really hard to see you again!" Just as Qin Xiao Tian stepped out of the mansion gate, a sarcastic laugh echoed in his ears.

  Qin Xiao Tian looked at Liu Sheng Ming, who had a schadenfreude expression on his face. After scanning the surroundings with a glance, he calmly said: "I don't know what business General Liu has with me? Also, why did you kidnap the family members of my Hu Ben's leader? Don't you know our country's military regulations?"

  "Hahaha!" Liu Shengming burst out laughing as soon as he heard Qin Xiao Tian's words.

  "Qin Xiao Tian, do you really think you are still the original two-road marshal? Now you are just a general in name only. What qualifications do you have to talk to me? Military regulations? Ha! With less than 100 men under your command, you dare to mention military regulations with me? Although His Majesty spared your life, the accounts between us should be settled one by one."

  "Hmm!" Qin Xiao Tian took a deep breath, suppressing the anger that surged up in his heart, and said coldly: "General Liu, what do you plan to do?"

  "How dare you! Haha! It's simple, kneel down for me." Liu Shengming had a ferocious expression on his face, with killing intent in his eyes.

  "General Liu, don't be too excessive." Qin Xiao Tian responded with an icy expression.

  "Too much? Haha! Qin Xiao Tian, isn't it said that you're a man of great loyalty and righteousness? I think you're also just a name without substance. Alright, now I'll give you two choices: first, kneel down and kowtow to me three times; second, I'll leave, but her head will come with me." Liu Sheng Ming pointed behind him at Wang Shi, who was being held by two soldiers, also Zhang Hua Ming's biological mother.

  Qin Xiao Tian's eyes shot out a sharp light as he glared at Liu Sheng Ming and said in a cold voice, "General Liu, do you know what the consequences will be if you really do this?"

  "Hmph!" Liu Shengming said with a scornful expression: "Qin Xiao Tian, don't try to intimidate me with that wild mongrel. If your Ferocious Tiger Team was still intact, I might have given you some face, but now you only have over a hundred men, what kind of storm can this wild mongrel stir up?"

  "General Liu, with national crisis looming and many monsters surrounding the city walls, I really don't want to kill my own people, so please don't force me to take action."

  "What if I force you to take action? I'll count to three, and if by the third time you still don't kneel down and kowtow, then I guarantee your brother's mother will be splattered with blood. Three... two..." Liu Shengming had a smug expression on his face as he slowly started counting down.

  Qin Xiao Tian narrowed his eyes and stared at Liu Sheng Ming. As time passed, the expression on his face became increasingly gloomy.

  "First, kill that woman." Liu Shengming saw that the other party did not react after he counted to one, so he simply came up with a simple method, luring him into the trap, and making Qin Xiao Tian take action first, which would also be easier to explain to the Emperor.

  "No."

  "Bang!"

  "General..." Wang Hu and others rushed out of Qin Xiao Tian's mansion, each holding a weapon and surrounding their general in the middle.

  "Haha, Qin Xiao Tian, I didn't think you'd have a day like today! You actually believed my words?" Liu Shengming said with a smug expression, but the next moment he immediately wiped the smile off his face and waved his hand: "Kill him."

  "No."

  "Looking for death."

  Two loud whooshing sounds rang out, and the next moment, the two soldiers' heads behind Liu Shengming seemed to be cut off by the air, their heads flying high, two columns of blood shooting out from their bodies, followed by the two corpses crashing down.

  "Who is it?" Liu Shengming was shocked and frightened by this strange scene.

  "Whoosh!" Two figures suddenly appeared beside Qin Xiao Tian, startling Wang Hu and the others so much that they almost raised their weapons to strike.

  "Chief of Staff?" Wang Hu and others looked clearly at the person who came and were overjoyed.

  With a thud, Zhang Huaming knelt down in front of Wang Rong, lowering his head and saying: "Mother, your child is unfilial, I'm late, let you suffer."

  "As long as my son is safe and sound, it doesn't matter if I live a few years less. My son has lost weight, but he's grown stronger." Wang Rong stretched out her rough palm to gently stroke Zhang Huaming's face, as if she were caressing some precious treasure.

  Zhang Huaming felt the warmth from his mother's heart, and a wave of emotion surged up in his heart. The next moment, he stood up and ordered Wang Hu: "Wang Hu, take my mother inside to rest for a while."

  "Yes, Chief of Staff." Wang Hu responded with a joyful expression, and the next moment he waved his hand to summon two guards to take over.

  Zhang Huaming watched as his mother entered the Qin Xiao Tian's mansion, then smiled and exchanged a glance with Qin Xiao Tian. The smile on his face suddenly turned cold, and he turned around to gaze at Liu Shengming who was riding a warhorse.

  "What do you want to do?" Liu Shengming was intimidated by Zhang Huaming's gaze, after all, he had possessed the strength of a martial arts king in the Longhua City War more than a year ago, and with his mere initial Wu Zong cultivation, it would be easy for him to kill him like a chicken.
