Chapter 386: Chapter 387: Ye Wudao’s Choice

Ye Wudao laughed, "Hehe, I’m not foolish, if I were to refuse, wouldn’t that mean I had a problem with my brain?"

"Haha!" The Tiger Ben General laughed heartily, shaking hands with Ye Wudao, "Young Master Ye, I am older than you, so would you mind if I call you ’little brother’?"

Ye Wudao reached out his hand, "Big brother Tiger Ben, I’ll need to trouble you to look after me more in the future!"

"Of course!" Tiger Ben nodded.

"Brothers, we will stay in Northern Liang from now on, we have a home!" Ye Wudao looked towards the Northern King’s Hall.

"We finally have a home!"

"Long live Young Master!" The Northern King’s Hall erupted with excitement.

"Haha, Brother Liu, congratulations!" Ling Wei reached out his hand.

"Brother Ling, I’ll be looking forward to learning from you," Liu Kuangsheng laughed.

"Haha!" The two laughed together.

One moment, the two were ready to come to blows, the next, they shook hands and made peace.

Just then, a figure sneaked away stealthily.

With his sharp eyes, Ye Wudao immediately noticed the sneaky shadow and couldn’t help but sneer, "Deputy Commander Zhou, where are you planning to go?"

The escaping Zhou Tie froze in his tracks, revealing a sycophantic smile, "Young Master Ye, I, my stomach hurts, I was going to the toilet..."

"Oh, is that so?" Ye Wudao’s lips curled with a touch of sarcasm, "Dead, and your stomach won’t hurt anymore!"

Meanwhile, Tiger Ben said, "Someone, bring me my spear?"

Very soon, several Tiger Ben Army soldiers laboriously carried over a dragon-patterned tiger-head spear, filled with a murderous aura.

Tiger Ben grabbed the dragon-tiger spear with one hand and smiled, "Little brother Ye, I’ve come at the right time as your big brother, but I didn’t bring any gift for our meeting, so let’s give you this scoundrel’s head!"

As he spoke, Tiger Ben gripped the dragon-tiger spear, and an awful killing intent erupted from his body!

He thrust the spear, the sound roaring, as if a dragon and tiger were howling!

"No, no!" Zhou Tie’s pupils constricted, and in the next moment, he was pierced through by the dragon-tiger spear, falling heavily to the ground, his eyes wide open in horror.

The crowd was shocked.

Tiger Ben killed Zhou Tie with one spear thrust, causing an uproar!

"True to Tiger Ben General’s renown, so formidable!"

"Yes, Deputy Commander Zhou Tie was an eighth-grade War Venerable, and he was instantly killed!"

Tiger Ben slowly lowered his spear, the killing intent around him dissipating, turning to Ye Wudao with a smile, "Little brother Ye, your big brother has other matters to attend to and must leave first, but you can come find me anytime in Northern Liang City, I’ll treat you to a drink!"

"Alright, thank you Big Brother Tiger Ben!" Ye Wudao nodded vigorously, admiring Tiger Ben’s straightforward character which suited him well.

"Farewell!" Tiger Ben strode away with great strides.

"Farewell to General Tiger Ben!" Led by Ling Wei, the Xuanwu Legion all bowed with their fists.

Watching Tiger Ben lead his troops away, Ling Wei bowed to Ye Wudao, "Young Master Ye, I will rely on your care for me in the future."

Ling Wei was very astute and could see Ye Wudao’s limitless potential!

The Queen of Northern Liang valued him highly, and General Tiger Ben called him brother!

Such a person must be well connected!

Ye Wudao smiled, "Commander Ling flatters me, I am still one of your men."

"Far be it from me!" Ling Wei quickly shook his head, "Just now, General Tiger Ben already said that your Northern King’s Hall will receive the same treatment as the four grand legions, aren’t you flattering me too much?"

"Haha." Ye Wudao chuckled. Ling Wei was indeed a straightforward man.

"Young Master Ye, what do you plan to do next? Is there a place for these three thousand men from the North King’s Hall? If not, I’m willing to vacate the position of the Xuanwu Legion for them!" Ling Wei said.

Ye Wudao waved his hand in refusal, smiling, "I won’t take over someone else’s nest. The Xuanwu Legion still needs you, Brother Ling Wei, to hold the fort! I’ll head back to Defense Area 14."

"What, you’re going back to Defense Area 14?" Ling Wei was extremely shocked, "That’s the most dangerous area in all of Northern Liang, bordering the outer realms, where war could break out at any time! Young Master Ye, please think this over!"

Even Fang Wu hadn’t anticipated Ye Wudao’s choice and asked in disbelief, "Young Master Ye, are you really returning to Defense Area 14?"

"My brothers are there!"

Hearing Ye Wudao’s words, Fang Wu, moved to tears, knelt on the ground, "I, on behalf of the brothers in Defense Area 14, thank Young Master Ye!"

"Get up!" Ye Wudao helped Fang Wu up.

Ling Wei, full of admiration, said, "True to form, Young Master Ye, valuing bonds and righteousness! However, Defense Area 14 is too perilous. Once war breaks out, I won’t be able to get there in time. How about I allocate ten to twenty thousand men to you?"

Ye Wudao shook his head, "There’s no need!"

"Then how about this? I remember there are still two to three thousand soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion in Defense Area 14. If you don’t mind, Young Master Ye, those few thousand men can fall under your command. I’ll just send a report to the higher-ups, and it should be approved very quickly!" Ling Wei said with a smile.

This time, Ye Wudao didn’t refuse. He had already formed a deep bond with his brothers in Defense Area 14, and this was one of the reasons he chose to return there.

Moreover, the North King’s Hall was currently short on personnel and urgently needed to recruit and buy horses to expand its strength.

Though remotely located and in harsh conditions, Defense Area 14 had forged warriors experienced in hundreds of battles!

These men were precisely the best candidates to replenish the North King’s Hall’s ranks!

"Alright!" Ye Wudao nodded with a smile.

"Quartermaster!" Ling Wei suddenly called out.

"At your service!" A middle-aged man approached.

"Take out ten thousand of the best weapons and pieces of equipment from our Xuanwu Legion’s stores and send them to Defense Area 14!" Ling Wei commanded.

"What?" The quartermaster started, "Commander, we only have less than thirty thousand pieces of weaponry in our arsenal!"

"No arguments, carry out the order!" Ling Wei rebuked sternly.

"As you command!" the quartermaster obeyed.

Ling Wei said with a smile, "Young Master Ye, let me escort you to Defense Area 14!"

"No need, I can take my men there myself!" Ye Wudao declined graciously.

"Then so be it. Until we meet again!" Ling Wei cupped his hands in farewell.

"Farewell!" Ye Wudao clasped his fist and then left with an air of easy grace.

Ling Wei watched Ye Wudao lead the North King’s Hall away, breathing a sigh of relief as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

One of his confidants spoke up, "Commander Ling, with all this giving away of men and weapons, aren’t we at a loss here?"

"Yeah, Commander, when has the Xuanwu Legion ever made such a loss-making deal?"

"It makes no sense!" A group of the Xuanwu Legion’s senior ranks grumbled, clearly dissatisfied.

"At a loss?" Ling Wei scoffed with a cold laugh, "Heh, a bunch of fools, think further ahead! Let me tell you, this is the most profitable deal I’ve ever made in my life! Young Master Ye is not a common man; one day, he will surely soar like a dragon, and perhaps, he will surpass the North King!"

Sheesh!

Hearing Ling Wei’s words, all the dissatisfied people suddenly swallowed hard.

To surpass the North King!

That was high praise indeed!
