Chapter 1969 Shangguan Family’s Affairs (3)
"You're afraid."
Hearing Emperor Yang Zhou's words, Shangguan Xian's body was taut and even stiffer than before. He was sure that he hid his expression very well, so how come Emperor Yang Zhou was able to notice what he was actually feeling?
Shangguan Xian was worried.
Emperor Yang Zhou shook his head slightly. "If you're sure of your retirement, I'll not stop you. However, due to your mistake in the army, I couldn't reward you for this war."
"I know, Your Majesty."
For Shangguan Xian, not receiving any reward was good. After all, he lost and it would be rather strange for Emperor Yang Zhou to give him any reward. Even if he had served Fei Yang Kingdom for a long time, he had already received his rewards during those years. His saving was quite a lot due to his good performance over the years. Even if it was not that much, but it would be enough for him and his family to live until the rest of their lives.
Granted that they didn't spend money lavishly for unnecessary things. "You can arrange your soldiers by yourself." Emperor Yang Zhou would not handle such a matter on his own. He had other more important things to do with his time. "I'll not punish you either, Shangguan Xian."
<Long distance away, South border of Shi Long Kingdom, the three family's head and General Gao location, Shi Long Kingdom's side>
It has been a few days since Shi Long Kingdom's retreat and also General Lei's order for his people to move to the south.
During this period of time, Shi Long Kingdom never stop even once in their relentless attacks. They wanted to kill these people from the three families who dared to offend them. But the situation was not very good.
The two sides were more or less equal.
But because General Lei, Lei Lu Yao, had to protect his people, they were mostly put in the defensive situation, which caused more casualties in their side. But no matter how much his heart was bleeding, he had to continue. Because only after everyone was moved would it be possible for them to fight and then made sure they could create a safe environment for their descendants. "They're still moving the soldiers?" General Gao asked, his tone was extremely cold.
After the failure back then, General Gao was basically going all out, trying his best to make sure that he could make some differences here. He knew that if he returned with only the news of defeat, he wouldn't be able to keep his life. So, he tried his best in the past few days, trying to create a miracle or anything in order to make sure that he would not look so bad and poor. "General Gao, they're almost done moving," the soldiers reported truthfully.
"Damn it!"
General Gao was thinking of taking this advantage to win agains these three annoying family. But for some reasons, they were all able to stop him again and again, making him even more irritable. As time passed, he was no longer sure that he would be able to win this battle. Because he knew that they would be able to start attacking as well when they no longer have any scruples. Just as he was confused, a soldier ran and reported to him, "General Gao, Adjutant Bo has arrived."
