So as soon as the army stepped out from the barracks, the soldiers at the rear began to chat idly.

”Longyuan was previously stationed at Wuyuan, and now they’ve been transferred directly to Beizhao, which is quite a distance.”

”It is a bit far, Zhaoyang is near Beimang Mountain, and currently is the farthest post in the Great Xia Territory from Xia City!”

”It’s so nice to stay in Wuyuan! What a shame.”

”Haha, I think you’re all longing for the big catch in the Wuyuan Waters, aren’t you?”

”Hahaha, of course, if you work a bit harder in Wuyuan, you could earn ten to twenty thousand Contribution Value every month, it’s comfortable!”

”Why doesn’t Commander Zhou go and suggest to the Minister that our Longyuan Army continue to guard Wuyuan?”

”Wishful thinking, but I heard from the Colonel that the army will gradually start rotating to different areas for defense unless you reach the Cloud Jiao and Long Wu level, you shouldn’t expect to stay in one place for long.”

”I see!”

......

Xiang Ping was a member of the ninth camp of the Longyuan Army, and he was also the captain of the fifth squad of the ninth camp. He was chatting with the brothers in his team at the rear of the unit.

”Xiang Ping, look over there!”

But before he could chat much, he was interrupted by Liu Qing, the captain of the fourth squad not far from him.

After being interrupted, he followed the direction of Liu Qing’s finger and was suddenly surprised.

The barracks in Hongmen City were to the north, built next to the Ministry Building, with the gates to the south. As soon as the army exited the barracks, the first place they passed was the Ministry Building.

The ninth camp was at the rear of the marching troops, so only after the front army had passed did they move past the Ministry Building.

At this moment, Liu Qing was pointing at a team under the Ministry Building.

The team comprised only five people, with an old man missing both arms in the middle, surrounded by four others all dressed in black-red summer clothes, wearing half-meter diameter black round crowns on their heads, and silver tokens hung on their waists.

”Those are people from the Prison Department, right!”

”Four Silver Order Prison Wardens came down at once?”

”Of course, that old man with the broken arms is Mu Longhe, a Xianyang Level strongman. Even without arms, he’s far stronger than the Cold Resistance Level. Not to mention four Silver Order Prison Wardens, even a hundred wouldn’t be enough to contain him!”

”It’s Mu Longhe! Wasn’t he the first Xianyang Level powerhouse captured by our Great Xia? That Lord’s Blood Jade Fox is truly formidable, slicing off his arms with a swipe.”

”Blood Jade Fox is nothing! The real deal is the Lord, who directly made Mu Longhe stay, and the Chui Mountain Town Lord Duan Hong didn’t dare make a sound!”

”Not only Duan Hong, could the other Five Townlords say anything? This Mu Longhe was entirely to blame for daring to act against the Minister and Yuwen Sizheng!”

”His Mu Family’s filial piety is indeed commendable, otherwise Mu Longhe certainly wouldn’t have survived.”

......

Amid the crowd’s discussion, Xiang Ping naturally also saw the appearance of those five people, and instantly smiled, immediately understanding why Liu Qing wanted him to look at those five.

”Who are they? That’s the pride of our Old Xiang Family!”

As soon as Xiang Ping spoke, those in the same squad immediately looked over with curiosity, including many from Liu Qing’s side, all turned their attention to those five.

”Liang’er!”

Before anyone else could speak, Xiang Ping couldn’t help but shout.

Among the five beneath the Ministry Building, a young man on the left immediately raised his head upon hearing the shout, saw Xiang Ping in the Longyuan Army ranks and instantly smiled, replying loudly, ”Dad!”

It turned out the young man was none other than Xiang Ping’s eldest son, Xiang Liang.

”So it’s Captain Xiang’s eldest son!”

”A Silver Order Prison Warden, the captain’s eldest son, how impressive?”

”Not only a Silver Order Prison Warden, but the captain’s son was enfeoffed as a Ninth-Rank Xuanling Marquis just last May!”

”You must be joking, Captain Xiang’s son looks no more than twenty-four or twenty-five, a Ninth-Rank Xuanling Marquis, how is that possible?”

”Hmph, obviously you don’t keep up with news from Xia City. Xiang Liang lived in Dajue Temple for almost two years. In September last year, during the battles of Dajue Temple with Jiangxia and Bashang, he was mixed within the Dajue Temple army, making countless contributions. As soon as the war ended in May, he was enfeoffed and even got an audience with the Lord!”

”So impressive?”

”Just look at his strength.”

”This... can’t fathom it, stronger than the captain?”

”I heard from the captain that his son has Superior Battle Body Talent and is now at Mid-stage Cold Resistance Cultivation with six-tuft strength.”

”No wonder the captain says he’s the pride of the Old Xiang Family, if I could have such a capable son, I’d be willing to live a few years less!”

”Your grandson is about to be born, living a few fewer years won’t produce one.”

”It’s you who won’t produce one, get lost!”

”Hahaha...”

.........

The crowd’s discussion and laughter made Xiang Ping join in the laughter, but hearing the amazement in their voices about his son’s strength and noble title, naturally filled him with pride.

Seeking wealth through danger, these five words are indeed true.

The adventures his eldest son Xiang Liang took last year truly allowed their Old Xiang Family to wholly turn the tables in Great Xia.

Xiang Ping broke through to the Cold Resistance Level the year before last; he does not have Battle Body Talent. Though he has Late-stage Cold Resistance Cultivation now, his strength is merely at five tufts, even less than his son. Being able to become the commander of the Longyuan Army is already considered good.

He’s been in Great Xia for six years; to claim that he doesn’t envy noble titles would be untrue. Xiang Ping’s original plan was to slowly improve his strength in the army and accumulate military merits, believing that this path would eventually lead to a noble title.

Who would have thought that his son would silently earn the title ahead of him?

Moreover, his son has Top-level Combat Body Qualification, and now his strength is already above his old father, and his future growth potential is much higher than his.

Who would have imagined that an ordinary old self could father such an extraordinary son!

Hehehe...

Recalling, Xiang Ping thinks if he had known about his son’s dangerous endeavors last year, he would certainly have tried to stop or even strictly prohibit them.

Thinking now, as an old father, he might not be able to guide his son’s path in the future, for strength and courage, he falls short compared to his son.

While feeling proud of his son, Xiang Ping could not help but feel a bit of a sense of aging, sighing slightly.

”Dad, this time, the five of us are returning with your Longyuan Army!”

As Xiang Ping sighed, he suddenly discovered his son was already walking over to him. Hearing his son’s words, he paused slightly, but upon lifting his head and seeing Mu Longhe his son was escorting, he immediately understood.
