The Human Emperor (200-400)

C306: Chaos At the Deflecting Blade Manor!

The talk with Zhao Qianqiu went very successfully, as expected of the instructor in charge of imparting the Art of Commanding.

His standing towered far beyond the other instructors, allowing the matter regarding Gao Feng, Nie Yan, and the others to be resolved very quickly.

Gao Feng, Nie Yan, Xu Qi, Chen Burang, and Sun Zhiming were originally banned from leaving the training camp without permission, but with Zhao Qianqiu's backing, they managed to receive the privilege to do so.

While they weren't completely unrestrained like the recruits under Zhao Qianqiu, such as Wang Chong and Su Hanshan, they were at least allowed to move freely for half a month for every month now.

Without wasting any time, Wang Chong immediately sent them to the spirit vein to train so as to prevent a situation such as that with Abutong from occurring once more.

At the same time, the rise in their cultivation would also be beneficial for the wars that would occur in the future.

They were the generals that Wang Chong had his eyes on in the future. The stronger they were, the greater Great Tang's hope for survival was.

"Wang Chong!!"

"Wang gongzi!!"

Three days later, in the Deflecting Blade Manor, just as Wang Chong was brewing a pot of Tie Guan Yin while basking under the hot sun, deafening shouts suddenly rose outside.

Accompanying those excited shoutings were flurried footsteps that seemed to indicate a huge crowd was swiftly nearing the manor.

"What is going on?" Wang Chong nearly dropped the teacup in his hands from the abrupt shouts. He and Zhao Jingdian glanced at one another in astonishment.

The Deflecting Blade Manor was a distance away from Kunwu Training Camp. On top of that, for fear of a backlash from the royal court, Wang Chong had also moved very carefully in his recruitment process. As such, other than him and the others, very few people would come here. Thus, something was clearly amiss with the ruckus outside.

"Jingdian, go and take a look,” Wang Chong instructed as he glanced outside.

Nodding, Zhao Jingdian placed his teacup back on the table before heading out. Under Wang Chong's influence, he was slowly growing interested in tea as well.

Wang Chong thought that Zhao Jingdian would return swiftly, but it took half a tea's time before Zhao Jingdian finally re-emerged at the doorstep of the courtyard with a look of astonishment on his face.

"What is going on?" Wang Chong frowned.

"Gongzi, there are many people outside. All of them have expressed their interest in joining the Deflecting Blade Manor!" , Zhao Jingdian said after organizing his thoughts momentarily, a bizarre expression on his face.

"What?" Wang Chong was taken aback. Pressing his hands against the violet rattan chairs, he abruptly stood up in shock.

Join the Deflecting Blade Manor?

He hadn't even sent out the invitations yet, why would there be so many people here?

"I'll go out and take a look." Without any hesitation, Wang Chong immediately walked out of the courtyard.

Hong!

The mountain wind blew. As soon as Wang Chong stepped out from the gates of the Deflecting Blade Manor, a deafening ruckus immediately filled his ears. In that instant, he felt as though he had stepped into an entirely different world.
