Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1741: Chapter 135: Arson, Murder, and Looting! The Road to Sudden Wealth – 2

During this period, there were too many seized grains and low-end weapons and equipment, which couldn’t fit in the Storage Ring and couldn’t be taken away. Rather than leaving them to Moyan Country, it was better to simply distribute them to these slaves and let them start their own rebellion.

Although it might not amount to much, it could still cause considerable disruption to Moyan Country.

In the Clan School’s social science courses, there has been a systematic analysis of the pros and cons of slave society. Wang Fugui understood that this was an inevitable stage in social progress but, after all, the drawbacks outweighed the benefits, and it was not the true path. Therefore, he was pleased to lend a hand in creating trouble for this system.

Yan Chengde was dumbfounded.

He had initially lost all hope, never imagining that this young master would be even more decisive than he was.

After being stunned for a long while, he suddenly snapped back to reality and excitedly bowed deeply to Wang Fugui, “This old servant thanks you, young master. Once I have avenged the destruction of my clan, I will immediately return to follow you, serving as your slave and servant, to repay your kindness.”

“Enough, let the future take care of itself.” Wang Fugui waved his hand carelessly and instructed Jiang Qinglian beside him, “Jiang Tribute, go and ask Ji Tribute to find a way to remove the restrictions on him, then do as I said.”

“Yes, Young Master Fugui.”

Jiang Qinglian stood up upon hearing this, bowed to accept the order, and then left the courtyard with Yan Chengde.

After they left, Wang Fugui took a short nap with a calm expression, as if he had just done an insignificant and ordinary thing.

…

Meanwhile.

National Capital of South Yan Country.

Xiang Ancient City.

As the Imperial City of South Yan Country, Xiang Ancient City has a very long history. Since the founding of the country, throughout the long Epoch, this city has always stood on this vast land, quietly observing the changes of history.

Its long history has endowed it with profound heritage. Ancient buildings with long histories can be seen everywhere in the city, and even a protruding brick at the base of a wall may be thousands of years old.

And over the course of these ten thousand years, the situation in Xiang Ancient City has undergone earth-shattering changes.

The earliest Xiang Ancient City, which was far smaller than it is now, only about one-third of its current size.

The current inner city walls were transformed from the original walls of Xiang Ancient City. The outer city as it stands today was gradually expanded over these ten thousand years.

For this reason, only the truly Prominent Family nobles can reside in the inner city, while the outer city is mostly home to various newly-emerging Prominent Family nobility, with a clear distinction between them and a huge class barrier.

The recently established Xiang Ancient City [Temporary Recruitment Point] was set up in a deserted ancestral shrine just outside the inner city.

This ancestral shrine was initially built for an unknown powerful figure, with a square and grand architectural style distinctly different from the overall architectural style of South Yan Country, majestic and awe-inspiring.

The long history had made its walls mottled with marks, and the tablets and sculptures in the shrine were long gone, leaving only towering stone pillars and a grand plaza, vaguely reminiscent of its past glory.

Nowadays, on this vast plaza, new military training facilities have been built, and the majestic temple-like building has been converted into barracks.

At this moment.

On the high platform at the corner of the plaza, a tall woman stood against the wind, gazing down at the new recruits training on the plaza.

In her right hand, she casually grasped a Divine Spiritual Treasure level long whip, her red robe fluttering in the wind, making her resemble a blooming red rose, valiant and with an extraordinary temperament.

This woman was the chief commander presiding over the recruitment this time, known as [Jia Bao Princess], Qiu Daoyu, who was highly esteemed in the Imperial Household.

Among the young generation of the Imperial Household, Jia Bao Princess was beloved by Emperor Yuanyin of Yan Empire and was meticulously cultivated from a young age.

There was a rumor that Emperor Yuanyin once found an outstanding Prominent Family scion from the Demonic Dynasty as a husband for her, but Jia Bao Princess refused with the reason of incompatibility and dislike.

Emperor Yuanyin not only did not get angry but also granted her some autonomy, allowing her to choose her husband within certain boundaries, as long as she settled down before the age of two hundred.

For this reason, the one-hundred-fifty-year-old Jia Bao Princess has become a coveted target in the eyes of the young people in Xiang Ancient City.

Being “favored by thousands,” Jia Bao Princess naturally lived a carefree and leisurely life.

However, recently, she was troubled, feeling immense pressure.

During this period, bad news continued to arrive from the front line, and even her most revered Old Ancestor, Emperor Yuanyin, suffered defeat. The elites of the Imperial Household and various Prominent Family in Xiang Ancient City had urgently mobilized troops, organized a wave of reinforcements, and headed to assist in resisting the Main Army of Liang Country.

Unexpectedly, while the rear was defenseless, two Elite Bandit Armies broke through multiple Guard Cities and passes, penetrated deep into Dayan’s heartland, and began to “burn, kill, and loot” near Shangjing City, committing every imaginable evil.

Because of this, the entire Xiang Ancient City was in a state of panic during this period.

As the national capital of Dayan, Xiang Ancient City was originally the safest city with the highest level of defense. Yet now, with the absence of the ace battalion Xuan Mountain Iron Cavalry and the absence of the main garrison force sent to the front line, the remaining defending troops were few in number and weak in combat strength. To be blunt, this was perhaps the first time since Xiang Ancient City’s construction that its defense was so vulnerable.

If not for the Defense Array as a reliance, Xiang Ancient City would have already been in chaos.
