Chapter 385: Chapter 386: The Four Great Generals of Northern Liang - Huben

"Right, right, Young Master Ye, you’re right to scold me—I am indeed a complete idiot!" Zhou Tie’s posture was extremely low, even slapping himself on the cheek; "You are magnanimous, please spare me this once?"

"Young Master, how should we deal with this scoundrel?" Liu Kuangsheng said.

"Kill him!" Ye Wudao said coldly.

"As you command!" Liu Kuangsheng nodded, his long sword sweeping out.

"You, you have no right to kill me! I, I am the vice leader of the Xuanwu Legion!" Zhou Tie shouted as he quickly grasped Ling Wei’s thigh, his face begging; "Legion Commander Ling, I’m begging you, help your brother out!"

"Get out of my sight!"

Ling Wei kicked Zhou Tie aside, then bowed to Liu Kuangsheng with clasped fists, sighing helplessly; "Brother Liu, calm your anger. Although Zhou Tie is a duplicitous, cunning scoundrel, he is still the vice leader of the Xuanwu Legion. Even I have no right to execute him—we must wait for orders from above!"

Upon hearing Ling Wei’s words, Zhou Tie achieved his goal, his face smug; "Hmph, if you dare to kill me, you will be opposing not only the Xuanwu Legion but the entire Northern Liang!"

"Sorry, I only obey and follow the Young Master’s orders!" Liu Kuangsheng’s gaze was ice cold.

Ling Wei sighed deeply and said, "Brother Liu, I greatly respect you as a person! Don’t force me!"

"Then make your move!" Liu Kuangsheng, gripping the hilt of his three-foot green blade, stood undaunted.

Alas!

Ling Wei smiled bitterly and slowly drew his battle saber; "It’s my duty, Brother Liu, forgive my offense!"

At that moment, the eyes of tens of thousands in the crowd were fixed on Ling Wei and Liu Kuangsheng!

One was the commander of the Xuanwu Legion, a top-tier battle master!

The other was the Sword Madman of the Northern King’s Palace, the famous Liu Kuangsheng!

Who was stronger, who was weaker as they clashed?

Some were expectant, some regretful, some melancholic!

Only Zhou Tie revealed a cunning smirk; "Hehe, let them fight, the murkier the waters, the better for me!"

"Forgive me, Brother Liu!" Ling Wei said, his eyes suddenly bursting with a sharp light, his whole body erupting with killing intent.

"Holy shit, Commander Ling is making his move!"

"In my lifetime, this is the first time I’ve seen Commander Ling in action!" Nearly ten thousand Xuanwu Legion warriors were excited.

"Please enlighten me!" Liu Kuangsheng assumed a combat stance, his body releasing a sharp aura as well.

"Go, Lord Liu!"

"Sword Madman is invincible!" The veterans of the Northern King’s Palace chimed in.

The two top-level battle masters looked at each other, then struck simultaneously.

In that critical moment, a stern voice rang out.

"Stop!"

Who?

Ling and Liu both turned their heads.

All tens of thousands of spectators turned their heads, utterly shocked.

Suddenly, hundreds of soldiers dressed in black heavy armor appeared, all fully armed, each capable of fighting a hundred men, with the ferocity of tigers and wolves.

"It’s the Tiger Guards of Northern Liang!"

"Every Tiger Guard is selected from the four major legions, the elite of elites in all of Northern Liang!"

"The Tiger Guards always guard close to the Queen of Northern Liang, protecting Northern Liang City. They rarely leave it!"

Suddenly, hundreds of Tiger Guards halted, revealing a pathway through which walked a nearly two-meter-tall man with a beast-like physique, emitting a potent aura of slaughter, and adorned in a purple tiger-patterned armor, projecting an overwhelming presence.

"Subordinate, I greet General Hu Ben!" Ling Wei, upon seeing the visitor, was visibly shocked and hastily clasped his fists.

All the warriors of the Xuanwu Legion present knelt on one knee, "I greet General Hu Ben!"

The visitor was none other than Hu Ben himself, one of the four great generals of Northern Liang, known for his fondness for raw meat and his immense strength, who guarded the city of Northern Liang.

His stature was even above that of the four great legion commanders, being a confidante of the Queen of Northern Liang and a battle spirit level powerhouse!

Hu Ben nodded lightly, his gaze shifting to Liu Kuangsheng beside him, and smiled, "Hehe, are you the renowned Sword Madman of the Northern King’s Palace?"

"You must be the famed ’Fierce Tiger’, General Hu Ben? I have long admired your reputation!" Liu Kuangsheng clasped his fists.

Zhou Tie, upon seeing Hu Ben’s arrival, quickly pleaded, "General Hu Ben, you must stand up for me!"

Smack!

Hu Ben slapped Zhou Tie across the face and rebuked him, "Beast! Thankfully, I arrived just in time; otherwise, if something went wrong because of trash like you causing these two to engage in battle, how could I explain to the Queen of Northern Liang?"

Zhou Tie was dumbfounded, "General Hu Ben, my, my little issue, has alarmed the Queen of Northern Liang?"

"You, worthy?" Hu Ben looked down on him, then turned his gaze towards Ye Wudao with a kind expression, "You are the son of the Northern King, the Princely Heir of the Northern King’s Palace, Ye Wudao, correct?"

Ye Wudao nodded affirmatively, "Yes."

He realized that General Hu Ben had come with good intentions.

Hu Ben then took out a royal decree.

"By command of the Queen of Northern Liang, Ye Wudao is the Princely Heir of the Northern King, the Princely Heir of the Northern King’s Palace! He is entitled to the treatment of the Northern King. If the Princely Heir is willing, Northern Liang is prepared to share power with the Princely Heir and co-rule Northern Liang!" Hu Ben announced.

Wow!

The entire place fell silent!

All faces showed expressions of utter astonishment, completely stunned!

"Holy crap, did I hear wrong? The Queen of Northern Liang is actually willing to co-rule Northern Liang with Ye Wudao?"

"This, this is too exaggerated!"

"That is the highly esteemed Queen of Northern Liang, who usually not even the royal family dares to provoke, and all six dukes of Dragon Country have to appease!"

Even the Northern King’s Palace was stunned.

"The Queen of Northern Liang is too good to the Princely Heir!" Liu Kuangsheng couldn’t help saying.

"Yes, she treats the Princely Heir with the same regard as she does the Northern King!"

"Master Qi, you still spoil me like a child," Ye Wudao thought to himself, shaking his head and stating righteously, "Unearned wealth isn’t accepted; I am not the Northern King, and I don’t qualify to co-rule Northern Liang with the Queen!"

Ye Wudao’s refusal even won the greater admiration of the entire Northern King’s Palace!

"The Princely Heir actually isn’t blinded by the power before him!"

"That’s truly remarkable!"

Hu Ben also looked at him appreciatively and said, "The Queen of Northern Liang also said that if you, Princely Heir, are not interested in governing Northern Liang, she hopes that you will stay in Northern Liang forever! Your royal army under the Northern King’s Palace will be treated the same as the four great legions of Northern Liang and need not obey Northern Liang’s orders. It belongs solely to you, Princely Heir!"

Boom!

This statement left the whole place astounded!

"Holy crap, the treatment of the Northern King’s Palace is the same as the four great legions of Northern Liang!"

"Not responding to summons is already shocking enough, but key is, no obedience to summons or proclamations!"

"This is tantamount to even the Queen of Northern Liang not having the authority to command the Northern King’s Palace!"

Hu Ben’s gaze turned towards Ye Wudao, and he smiled, "Princely Heir, what do you think?"
