649: Chapter 594: Wang Lihui, You Are Free!
While Zhang San and Wang Junwu were busy sowing seeds of fear in the hearts of the Tujue people, i Fei presented Emperor Kaihuang with a divine beast that symbolized auspiciousness—Pan Hu.
Although Pan Hu looked like a colorful dog, it could speak human language, which greatly surprised Emperor Kaihuang.
Most importantly, there was not a trace of the Demon Clan’s aura on Pan Hu.
This indicated that Pan Hu was not from the Demon Clan.
Although Emperor Kaihuang did not believe it to be an actual auspicious sign, guessing it was so special species, it did not prevent him from liking it.
Especially since Pan Hu was very eloquent and sotis even told jokes to amuse him.
Because i Fei had contributed this auspicious beast, although he could not be reinstated to his original position, given how Emperor Kaihuang was treating him now, it was likely that he might be appointed to the Ministry of War later.
After all, for a long ti after this war, there probably wouldn’t be much happening at the Ministry of War.
Keeping i Fei around wouldn’t cause any trouble.
Wen Chudao was also happy to help Emperor Kaihuang with the aftermath.
As i Fei was completely out of trouble now, a group of officers who were close to i Fei but had not been dealt with were also released.
This included i Fei’s deputy, Wang Lihui.
Zhang San had already learned about the issues between Wang Lihui and i Fei, so when Wang Lihui was released, Zhang San found him imdiately.
“General Wang, congratulations, you are free again.”
Upon seeing Zhang San, Wang Lihui imdiately bowed in respect.
Although he was released, everyone knew that he had fallen out with i Fei, and yet he was still from the Shuofang Army.
This awkward situation, where neither grandma loves nor uncle cares, would frustrate anyone, and Wang Lihui was no exception.
“There’s nothing to congratulate on.
I only hope that after this battle, I can take Lady Xue’s body back to my hotown.”
Zhang San knew Lady Xue was the na of i Fei’s wife.
People always referred to her as the lady, as if her husband was her everything.
Her life’s accomplishnts and the traces of her existence all seed to cling to one man, and she herself did not even deserve a na to be rembered by the world.
But Wang Lihui rembered, and always had.
“Speaking of which, I saw Lady Xue’s body and helped with it a bit.
Do you want to co and see it?”
Wang Lihui nodded.
After all, he knew that Lady Xue was i Fei’s wife, and although she had died by colliding into sothing at the Military Drill Ground, she still deserved proper treatnt.
But so much ti had passed since then, he feared that Lady Xue’s body must have already decayed… Huh!?
At that mont, Zhang San led Wang Lihui to a tent.
Upon entering, Wang Lihui was surprised to find a woman sitting dazedly inside—it was Lady Xue.
At that mont, Wang Lihui was stunned, his eyes wide as he looked at Zhang San and asked softly, “What is this?”
Zhang San imdiately explained, “When Lady Xue died, her heart was filled with resentnt.
Even though she was dead, her resentful spirit lingered for a long ti.
I know a bit of Technique that is sowhat related to the Path of Life and Death, so I sealed her resentful spirit within her body.”
“A living dead!?” Wang Lihui knew that so people, though dead, still existed.
Zhang San shook his head and said, “I hate to disappoint you, but she is actually just a dead person now.
Her resentful spirit is rely sealed inside her.
That’s why she appears sowhat dazedly alive.
Her body’s decay is slowed, but it will eventually vanish completely.
This period is your farewell with her.”
Wang Lihui looked at Zhang San with deep gratitude, about to ask sothing, but Zhang San interrupted him.
“I know you want to ask about i Wu’s situation.
He was killed on the battlefield, not a resentful spirit.
His soul was lost imdiately.”
Wang Lihui sighed deeply, then looked at Lady Xue again.
“Then, what do I need to help you with during this ti?”
Zhang San chuckled, “No need!
I’ll talk to Military Envoy Changsun, oh no, now Changsun Bubai has already beco the Grand Commander-in-Chief of the Longyun Path.
He controls all the military forces of Longyun Path.
So, I’ve applied for leave on your behalf.
You can go back to your hotown, or if you prefer, find a place and live a good life with Lady Xue for a while.
But I estimate that Lady Xue can only exist for about one or two months.
Cherish this ti, live well.
Once you have settled your own matters, you can return to the military.
By then, I’ll have Grand Commander Changsun arrange a good position for you.”
Wang Lihui bowed to Zhang San in gratitude.
Zhang San patted Wang Lihui’s hand, knowing that his silence was because he was naturally taciturn.
After leaving Wang Lihui’s tent, Zhang San also let out a sigh of relief.
Finally, all these matters had been dealt with.
Next, all that was left was to wait for the discussions with the Tujue to conclude and send those sixty thousand Tujue people back.
However, it was curious why there had been rumors among the Tujue lately that the Black Dragon Evil God, whenever he visited the Tujue, would defile seven Tujue won in a single night.
And not only that, so Tujue had wondered, what would the Black Dragon Evil God do if there were no won?
Then soone had audaciously suggested he would turn to n!
The Black Dragon Evil God would be even more excited then!
Damn, who was spreading these rumors!
Don’t let catch you!
If I do catch you, I’ll let you know why the Black Dragon Evil God gets so excited!
Just then, Changsun Wuji ca looking for him.
“Brother San, congratulations!
Emperor Kaihuang has just issued an order for you to take control of the Shuofang Army as the Duzhi Military Envoy of the Shuofang Army,” he said.
Zhang San frowned and said in a low voice, “This na is unlucky, co on, let’s go talk to Emperor Kaihuang and change it.”
Changsun Wuji shrugged, unsure what Zhang San was thinking; the na Shuofang Army wasn’t bad, it had just been tarnished by i Fei.
Why insist on changing the na?
But as it turned out, when Zhang San went to et with Emperor Kaihuang, who was then listening to Pan Hu tell a joke, he agreed instantly to let Zhang San change the na at will.
Seeing Emperor Kaihuang so happy, Zhang San felt happy for him too.
Yet, Zhang San always felt that sothing wasn’t quite right.
It was good that Emperor Kaihuang was happy, but why did he feel that the current state of Emperor Kaihuang was sowhat different from before?
At least, the old Emperor Kaihuang wouldn’t agree so readily to just anything.
But never mind, since the imperial decree was in hand, Zhang San went directly to Wen Chudao and had him get the Ministry of War to issue Emperor Kaihuang’s decree.
The Shuofang Army was reorganized and renad the Divine Martial Army!
Although the na was a bit too domineering, nobody had questioned Emperor Kaihuang about it at the mont.
Wen Chudao, seeing the na Zhang San had written, frowned deeply.
But given that the Wen Family had old grievances with Zhang San, he felt it was not his place to advise otherwise and simply nodded.
And just as Zhang San was leaving Wen Chudao’s office, preparing to investigate who was spreading rumors about him in secret, he found that Wang Lihui had co looking for him.
“General Zhang San.”
“Wang Lihui, have you co to tell goodbye?
There’s no need; you can just go back.
Your ti is more precious.”
Wang Lihui shook his head, then shouted, “You guys, co out!”
The next mont, more than a dozen powerful Martial Artists erged from around them, surrounding Zhang San.
