”Keep your e!” Tie Zheng’s expression was dark ”What is the use of spending it all on your father? Even if your father is in debt everywhere, I’le people, don’t follow me blindly!”
Those ere familiar with each other would know each other well; how could the thirty-six janissaries not know the background of their general? All of thelum and in low spirits
”What pitiful look are all of you trying to sport? Tiantang City is right in front of us!” Tie Zheng warned with a low voice, ”We are all meritorious officials! We are heroes Show me the spirit of a hero! Look at your pathetic faces now…”
All thirty-six of the their faces at once to look ruddy and spirited They tidied their attire too, brushi+ng their warhorses once beforevivaciously
Just as they passed a forest, the wind suddenly blew as leaves in front of the squad were rolled into a long line
”Hush!+” Tie Zheng stopped his steed, as thirty-six riders behind him followed suit
A voice came from the forest, ”Marshal Tie, since you’ve come, why not come ant
Tie Zheng replied, ”Who are you? If you intend to meet me, why do you hide in the trees?”
The voice answered, ”Don’t worry, we are friends!”
”Friends?” Tie Zheng scoffed, ”Why don’t I re such a reclusive friend?”
As he spoke, his hand had already gone to the grip of his sword
Behind him, all thirty-six riders had their swords in hand as well, even as they held their bows and arrows ready
The person in the forest kept quiet for a bit and said, ”It's all right if you refuse to coe landed in front of hiant voice said, ”Marshal Tie, this is e!”

Tie Zheng catapulted into the forest, not caring if there was an a a rock that was clean as if so over anxiously, he saw a note pressed onto the rock There ords written on it, ”Congratulations on Brother Tie’sa hundred years andwine shall be on ned off with aflame in thewas tre then, words could not describe the remorse he felt Why had he not entered earlier? Why had he been so suspicious?
”Marshal!” The leader finally caught up with him ”Marshal there is twelve e!”
He was excited, but deep down, he heaved a sigh
He knew his marshal well With the marshal’s temper, he would not accept the money, especially when it had come out of nowhere
”Keep it!” Tie Zhen exclaiht back… I beg your pardon?” The leader’s eyes aled out of their sockets in shock ”Keep it?”
Fck ? We brothers were gathering the sum so sincerely for him and the marshal has rejected us all How can he just accept thebrothers? Are we no longer brothers now?
”This is a congratulatory gift fro ould be on hi smiled humorlessly ”I can reject the world, reject His Majesty even… but I can’t reject the nine sirs’ money, I can’t say no!”
His words itation ”Nine – nine sirs?”
