Chapter 479: The Might Of The Wolf Army! (1/2)
Che!
Che!
Che!
Every move was unusually difficult, each step felt incomparably heavy.
As Cui Jian had just said, Yan Xiangma was friends with Li Muyang when he was in Jiangnan.
No matter what Li Muyang thinks, at least this was what Yan Xiangma felt. Because except for Li Muyang, he didn't have many friends that he could open his heart to, though he did had quite a lot of friends that he could drink with.
Otherwise, he would had exposed Li Muyang's ident.i.ty the last time he saw him at the city gate of Tiandu, otherwise he wouldn't have helped Li Muyang take care of his family when he went away to study at Starry Sky Academy.
Of course, he mainly wanted to help him take care of his sister.
Yan Xiangma knew that the Lu family had took care of Li Muyang, also knew that Li Muyang and Li s.h.i.+nian were grateful to the Lu family.
If he were to kill Gongsun Yu, kill Lu Tianyu——how would Li Muyang and Li s.h.i.+nian think of him?
But if he didn't kill them, how would Cui Jian be satisfied? How would he explain himself to the Cui family?
In the stormy seas of the officialdom, there was great danger at every step.
When Chu Xianda took his hand and said a few words to him, he thought that it was a private chat between the two, it was a secret from the bottom of the heart and would not pa.s.s to anybody's ears.
However, when he told his paternal grandfather about the matter the next day and went to his see his maternal grandfather together, his Grandfather was aware of this and smiled to Yan Xiangma telling him to not care about the matter——
At that moment, he saw that his paternal grandfather's face was as pale as dying embers, and was repeatedly apologising to his maternal grandfather.
He also knew that the cracks between the Cui and Yan families had been generated by his hesitation.
Now, Chu Xianda had died, the Emperor had been replaced.
The Cui family had made the greatest contribution to this coup besides the Song family, and the benefit that the Cui family would receive would be the greatest. Moreover, if the Lu family fell from power as a result, the benefits left by the Lu family will be divided among the Song Family, Cui family and a few old guys in the military.
There was no doubt that the Cui family was now the second strongest family in West Wind. Even the strength of the royal Chu clan had been greatly reduced by this coup, and can only be rank behind the Cui family——and, of course, Prince Fu would not care about this.
The Yan family must repair its relations.h.i.+p with the Cui family, must board the huge s.h.i.+p of the Cui family, and must get a slice of the benefits of this coup. Otherwise, the Yan family would be trampled on, slowly sink and then reduced to a second-tier aristocratic family.
Until it is destroyed or eradicated, just like the Lu clan.
This was something that everyone of the Yan family and Yan Xiangma did not want to see.
Cha——
Yan Xiangma slowly moved forward.
With every step he took, there was a sense of moving closer to an iceberg.
Yes, the silent black-armoured men, the mounted soldiers of the Wolf Army in black armour and wolf mask did not say a word, simply stood there quietly, like a magnificent mountain, majestic, towering, and icy-cold with a murderous spirit.
Cha——
Yan Xiangma's footsteps came to a halt.
Che!
He drew his sword, letting the edge of the blade face the Wolf Army soldiers standing together in a tight square-shaped formation.
“Madam Lu, have you been well?” Yan Xiangma asked looking at the black carriage.
No one answered.
With a bitter smile curving his lips, Yan Xiangma, looked at the Wolf Army. “When I was a child, I already knew about the might and prestige of the Wolf Army. You triumphed in every battle and won every fight and are the G.o.ds of death on the battlefield. You are all elites of the imperial military, heroes in the minds of the West Wind citizen. You have fought on the frontier, protected the border area, and defended the country's territory. Older cousin and I deeply admire the Wolf army, and if not necessary, I really do not want to face you in battle——”
“That's correct.” Cui Jian looked at the mysterious and mighty Wolf Army, persuading in a loud and clear voice, “Defense minister Lu has already fallen on Mist mountain, you are now without a Master, why not put down the weapons and join the Cui family——Our Cui family will certainly not treat you unfairly——I, Cui Jian promise on my honor——”
Boom——
At that moment, there was strange feeling in Yan Xiangma's heart.
He sensed that the iceberg was burning. He felt the ice water was boiling.
He sensed that the exhaustion of the Wolf Army was wiped away, their fighting power soared, and killing intent was rapidly rising.
It was as though they had changed to another group of people, or rather like a group of people had turned into a herd of beasts, a pack of truly immortal wolves.
There were hundreds of black-armoured soldiers, hundred pairs of eyes.
The hundred pairs of eyes were clouded with blood mist, like a group of monsters was about to pounce over and fight to death.
The voice of the leader of the Wolf army was gloomy and hoa.r.s.e, like a wild ghost coming out of h.e.l.l.
“Wolf Brothers, General has died in battle——”
“Kill.” The hundreds of wolf army soldiers raised their blades into the air, hissing and roaring.
“If General lives, the Wolf Army live. If General dies, the Wolf Army also dies.”
Che——
The Wolf army leader pulled a tremendous sabre free of its sheath, the tip pointing to where the three-headed snake censorate officials of the Monitor Division were.
“Kill.” The leader of the Wolf Army took the lead, spurring the horse to full speed, brandis.h.i.+ng the saber in his hand, and charged forward.
“Kill.” The hundreds of Wolf army soldiers followed closely behind, launching suicidal attacks at Cui Jian and Yan Xiangma and other censorate officials.
In the wilderness, among the mountains.
People were howling, blood was burning.
Even the ice-cold moon hid behind the clouds and no longer dared to look at the tragedy of the fight——
“Hrrf——Hrrf—”
Yan Xiangma was gasping for breath.
Too fierce, the soldiers of the Wolf army were too fierce.
They had the advantage based on number and had Cui Jian and a number of other top masters with them, yet their attacks had repeatedly failed. Adding to this, the Wolf Army had broken through the encirclement several times, which they thought the Wolf Army would take the chance to escape, but unexpectedly they turned the horse around and charged back.
The black carriage was still there, thus they would not flee.
