Speak of the devil and he shall appear.
And it wasn’t just one Cao Cao who showed up.
It was like a ride-hailing app bringing a fleet...
Bi Qingqiu and Jia Jun exchanged looks.
"Old Jia..." Bi Qingqiu looked at Jia Jun and said, "The safety of Luo City is in your hands now."
Bi Qingqiu was the City Lord, and Jia Jun was the City Defense General.
Though military and governance operated independently with distinct jurisdictions, in critical monts, the City Lord had the authority to give orders to the City Defense General.
"Understood." Jia Jun stood up and said in a deep voice, "I’ll make sure that kid cos but never returns."
"Old Jia, I trust in your ability, but still, you need to be careful. Safety first," Bi Qingqiu advised.
"Understood." Jia Jun looked at Bi Qingqiu and reminded, "Luo City is in danger, you should report to the Military Minister as soon as possible."
Bi Qingqiu secretly cursed to himself, not even knowing the enemy situation, yet being urged to report up the chain...
Report what? The enemy is coming?
How many troops? What equipnt? Who is the main general?
The old thing wasn’t as confident as he portrayed on the surface.
"Rest assured, you handle the external affairs, and I’ll handle the internal. I’ll communicate with the higher-ups and request their quick support. No matter what, Luo City cannot fall."
"Thank you." Jia Jun got the answer he wanted and said, "I am going to the war room to personally have a few rounds with that kid. The guy hasn’t even grown all his hair yet..."
Jia Jun stord off furiously.
Bi Qingqiu sighed lightly.
He didn’t want to fight; if the fighting started, his good days would be over.
Seeking wealth in danger?
He’s already wealthy, why take the risk?
------
Tai Mountain Club.
It’s one of the most famous clubs in Luo City, where the wealthy spend extravagantly.
Bi Yucong was either at the Tai Mountain Club or on the way there.
The reason is simple, he’s the owner behind the scenes of the Tai Mountain Club, the true master.
To open such an exclusive and luxurious top-tier club in a prosperous tropolis like Luo City, it requires strong connections to back it up; otherwise, others would leave nothing behind.
It was quite fortunate that his father happened to be the Lord of Luo City, Bi Qingqiu...
With such a connection, any monster would have to think if their teeth were sharp enough before taking a bite.
As usual, Bi Yucong’s car parked in the underground garage, taking the exclusive elevator to his private suite.
The ordinary folks couldn’t even glimpse the Heavenly Palace, let alone take the elevator.
Within the opulent suite, music was like a pulsating drumbeat.
A group of young n and won sang, drank, and indulged. So he knew, most he didn’t.
He took off his suit jacket and quickly joined the night’s revelry.
Like every night before.
------
When Bi Yucong woke up, he felt his head splitting, as if it were about to explode.
"Water."
He called out.
No matter where he slept or with whom, his demands would be t promptly.
Unless he played them to death.
Truly physically dead.
Sadly, he was disappointed this ti.
He waited a long ti, but no one brought the warm water to his lips.
The physical pain and parched mouth made his face flush, anger rising. He yelled, "Did everyone die? Get water... Ignorant fool."
"Young Master Bi, such a temper," a cold voice responded.
"Hmm? A man’s voice?"
This was Bi Yucong’s first thought.
Although he experinted with n occasionally, he mostly preferred won...
"This voice sounds unfamiliar..."
Bi Yucong abruptly opened his eyes.
"Who are you?"
"A friend from afar," the man said mockingly.
Even when he smiled, it made people feel chilled to the bone.
Bi Yucong’s whole body stiffened.
Except for his little brother.

In the command ship, Tang Fei gazed at the vast star map, feeling a surge of emotion:
"My journey is to the stars and seas."
"What?" Little Fatty asked.
Tang Fei glanced at Little Fatty and said, "You wouldn’t understand."
"Oh." Little Fatty nodded, not interested in probing further.
What journey, what sea; can it taste better than the iced cola in his hand?
As the Barbarian Army leader, Little Fatty did not personally command the Barbarian Clan this ti but handed the army to his uncle Bo Gu.
He wasn’t concerned about his uncle seizing power or the Barbarian Clan revolting; even soone with Little Fatty’s intellect felt that after staying long enough...
They were brave but fiercely loyal.
You treat well, I’ll treat you well.
We pinky swear.
And it’s locked tight.
Unless you hurt him first, and ordinary harm wouldn’t suffice...
You have to cheat on him, put a green hat on him.
He’d have to see it with his own eyes; otherwise, he wouldn’t believe it.
The elder brother said every mber of the Barbarian Clan is like a lapdog.
Yeah, that’s roughly the idea...
Little Fatty thought he wasn’t a lapdog because he only listened to his big brother.
Thinking about this made his heart sweet.
He took a sip of cola, even sweeter...
Kong Yinghan, the commander of the Fla-Bathed Legion, approached and reported: "Lord, 300 kiloters ahead is Luo City... We’ve already ford a siege against Luo City."
"Mm, following the plan, advance to a range of 150 kiloters... give them more pressure."
"Yes." Kong Yinghan imdiately executed the order.
This was the debut of the Bath Fire New Army and his debut as the commander of the Fla-Bathed Legion.
He had to make a strong showing, showcasing the might of the Bath Fire New Army.
Even after pledging allegiance to the new Lord, he couldn’t diminish the prestige of the Empire’s three major legions...
Gongshu Xuesong looked at Tang Fei, asking eagerly: "Lord, should we launch a probing attack?"
Gongshu Xuesong was the deputy commander of the Fla-Bathed Legion, and judging by the surna, a mber of the Lu Family...
The Lu Family provided money, manpower, and equipnt, deserving a reward.
Moreover, mbers of the Lu Family are reliable to use.
Gongshu Xuesong had always served in the Lu Family’s private army, being a trusted subordinate of Lu Dongyang.
This ti, when Tang Fei ford the new army, he requested a batch of senior officers from Lu Dongyang to fill the ranks.
He couldn’t let Kong Yinghan completely control the Fla-Bathed Legion, not even Tang Shengyan could... This was the consensus of the staff departnt.
There could only be one voice in the army.
That was Tang Fei’s voice.
Tang Fei pondered montarily and refused, "No need. Give them so ti to prepare."
"...."
Gongshu Xuesong felt a bit disappointed.
He was new and wanted to make an impression in the team, especially to gain the new Lord’s favor...
He could only wait for another opportunity.
But, in a battle between armies, shouldn’t one attack unexpectedly?
What does giving them ti to prepare an?
Expert duels are like antelopes hanging by their horns, leaving no trace to follow.
No wonder the Lord achieved so much success at such a young age; he must stay by his side to learn well.
