Relying on his own strength and the rallying power from a commoner's background, coupled with the spirit of fighting to the death, Ye Xiaozhang gained the recognition of all the soldiers and generals in the Empire, as well as the recognition and trust of the new Emperor of Drew Empire. Not only that, Ye Xiaozhang even obtained the greatest fortune in his life in this war, which was the Grand Princess of the Snow Duchy, Ye Fei's grandmother!
At that time, at the border of Drew Empire and the Cloud Sea Empire, there was a long-established duchy — — The Country of Snow. Although this duchy wasn't big. But neither of the two Empires had any intention of occupying this duchy. It was only later that Ye Xiaozhang found out that this Principality of Snow was very mysterious. The three great empires that were mysterious to the point of it, as well as the royal families and public houses of the twelve duchies, all had their last words: ”Please do not attack the Snow Country!”
But back then, Ye Xiaozhang who was born in a commoner's world did not know the secret that only the leaders of these aristocrats knew. The negotiating venue was at Principality of Snow. And during the negotiations, Ye Xiaozhang saw the woman that moved his heart on the street, who was also Ye Fei's grandmother — — the eldest daughter of the Xue Family!
It had to be said that Ye Xiaozhang was really fierce, to actually use some unknown method to soak the long haired girl of Xue Family. However, there were still some twists and turns. According to his grandma, her family didn't agree to the marriage and put her under house arrest. They don't want to get involved in other countries.
After his grandfather had actually brought his personal guard team to propose to him once more, Ye Xiaozhang said: In order to show his respect for Xue Family and his own lover, he will kneel in front of the Xue Family door for fifteen days. If he still did not release his lover within the fifteen days of Xue Family, he would lead his troops to flatten the Snowy Kingdom.
It was unknown if it was because of the threat, or because had moved him to death. In the end, after Ye Xiaozhang had kneeled for thirteen days, and his grandmother was removed from his list on the Xue Family, he kicked out his Xue Family and married to Ye Xiaozhang.
In the end, with the help of the incomparably intelligent lover, Drew Empire gained the upper hand. After returning to the capital, Ye Xiaozhang sat as the Great Marshal of the Empire under the arrangements of his grandmother. In an instant, he had gone from a commoner to a great duke, just below one man and above tens of thousands.
Afterwards, their son, Ye Kuang, had also relied on ”Killing the World” to slowly grow up to be a great general, a first class marquis. Furthermore, the wife he took was the talented daughter of her mother's family — Xue Rou. However, even though Xue Rou had left the Principality of Snow, she was not removed from the clan's list.
Logically speaking, nobles should be able to own their own territory and army. A Duke's territory requires at least a province, and the number of private troops is five thousand. And the number of the private troops of the marquis was also two thousand. The two women of Xue Family used some sort of method to actually get the old emperor to agree to exchange territory for private armies, and in the end, the two noble families' territories became thirty thousand Huban Army. Huban Army that was completely loyal to Ye Family.
Sitting on the carriage his father's personal guards had prepared for him, he looked at the rows of advancing Army of Ye Family beside the carriage, which were still in an orderly fashion. Ye Fei shook his head again. Towards this army that was known as the strongest in the empire, Ye Fei had always felt that their performance was too weak, especially after Ye Fei gave his father the way to advance in the formation that appeared inexplicably in his mind. If it was before, who knows how weak it would be!
”Young master, we're about to reach our destination. The general wants you to get off the carriage, but we won't be able to cross this last section of the road!” Ye Fei lowered his head to think, when suddenly a big bald man who was walking with the car beside him spoke out. The bald man's name was Sun Hua, the captain of his father's personal guard.
In the beginning, Ye Fei had decided not to use the carriage, but his father said that he was still young, and would only learn from this trip. With his weak physique, he wouldn't be able to adapt to traveling with the army, and this was what his mother wanted.
