”On the surface, there are five thousand men and horses, but in reality, they are less than a thousand. The rest are all from the Four Great Clans, and there is nothing we can do about it.”
”What?” Not even a thousand? ”
Qiao Nan turned pale with fright. There were only less than a thousand people in Tianwu County's huge territory that belonged to him. Although they had expected this to happen, they hadn't expected the four great families to have such a severe infiltration.
”Ever since the old master left, the four great families have gone even further, controlling everything in the city. Even the city entrance fees and the taxes of the merchants have been collected by the four great clans. We can't interfere.”
The more Zuo Qianjun spoke, the more shocked he became. The four great families had actually bullied him to such an extent.
”Zuo Qianjun, I will not punish you for your crimes. Go down and gather all the soldiers in the Marquis' Mansion.”
”Yes, Zuo Qianjun will take his leave.”
Zuo Qianjun knelt down and kowtowed, then left the room.
”Uncle Zhang, how is the blood guard?” This was a group of people that Qiao Nan had secretly groomed. Every one of them had a deep grudge against Qiao Nan, and that was why they were called Blood Guards.
No one would have thought that ten years ago, a six year old Qiao Nan would actually start cultivating his own strength.
”The blood guards train nonstop and the speed of their progress is extremely fast. The strongest has already reached the ninth level of Qi Hai, and the weakest is at the seventh level of Qi Hai.” Uncle Zhang stood beside Qiao Nan and reported.
Uncle Zhang had always been in charge of the blood guards, and he had always been in charge of acting the popinjay.
”Qiao Nan is useless, and can only save thirty-six of the descendants of the one hundred and eight generals. There will be a day when the Empire will be shocked by these thirty-six blood guards. Qiao Nan's eyes were cold, like a poisonous snake's.
”Bring them all here. I want them to shine in Tianwu County.”
”Yes, young master.” Uncle Zhang's figure flashed, and disappeared.
Zuo Qianjun gathered his subordinates, and the five thousand men gathered at the Marquis Square.
The five thousand men were silent for a time, but as time passed, complaints began to sound …
”What is this?” The reason you called us here is to stand here and bask in the sun? ”
”Is the Heaven Martial Marquis trying to intimidate us?”
Not only the soldiers, but even some of the military officers and generals began to complain. It was at the orders of their families that they would come here to be soldiers. Otherwise, who would come here to suffer?
”That's right, General Zuo. Even if the duke wants to establish his might, he can't let his brothers be exposed here.” The four generals standing beside Zuo Qianjun said.
Zuo Qianjun glanced at the four people, they were from the Four Great Clans.
Sometimes, even Zuo Qianjun himself felt sad that the people beside him were all from the Four Major Clans, and even the generals by his side.
”Soldier, following orders is a duty.”
Zuo Qianjun only said these words coldly, causing the scorching weather to suddenly turn cold.
The four of them were also surprised, they never thought that Zuo Qianjun would actually be so unyielding. Usually, Zuo Qianjun would let things go for the sake of dealing with the Four Great Clans.
”The marquis is here.” Qiao Nan walked up the stage with big strides. Uncle Zhang followed behind, and behind them were 36 soldiers dressed in blood-red battle uniforms. It was the Blood Guards. Qiao Nan came late on purpose. Firstly, he wanted to establish his might, and secondly, he wanted to wait for these blood guards.
”May I know what is the noble purpose of the Marquis gathering all the people here?” On the high platform, sat a few high ranking officers of the army. Seeing Qiao Nan come, unexpectedly, only Zuo Qianjun saluted, because other than their status as soldiers, they also had the identities of the four great families.
”I didn't expect these soldiers to have such distinct banners.” Are you afraid that I don't know how many people there are in the Four Great Clans? ” Qiao Nan sat on the main seat of the stage and looked at the five thousand people in the plaza. There were actually five kinds of uniforms, and only one was made by the Qiao Family.
”It's good that the marquis knows.” A general was seated on a chair. His tone was somewhat arrogant and did not place the Tianwu Marquis in his eyes at all. How could they be afraid of a playboy? Even Zuo Qianjun was still unable to do anything to the Four Great Clans.
