Chapter 106: Becoming a King and Holding His Own Armies
I saw that the room was a suite, with a living room outside and a bedroom inside. But there was only a large bed in the bedroom.
Yang Qing was speechless for a moment. Feng Pojun must have misunderstood their relationship. Tang Nuannuan obviously saw what Yang Qing was thinking. Her face flushed instantly, and she lowered her head, tugging at the corner of her clothes with her fingers.
Yang Qing smiled awkwardly:
"Hey, why don't we go eat first? I'll ask Director Feng to get another room later!"
Tang Nuannuan's body trembled slightly and said:
"no need!"
The voice was so low that even Yang Qing couldn't hear it clearly, so he subconsciously asked:
"What did you say?"
"Shua!" Tang Nuannuan's face turned even redder, and she quickly shook her head:
"No, it's nothing!"
Yang Qing didn't think much about it and took Nuannuan downstairs to eat.
In the restaurant on the second floor, the two quickly ordered their meals, and at this time Feng Pojun also arrived:
"Instructor Yang, don't take it personally. What the Director General said may sound sarcastic, but it's true!"
Yang Qing smiled:
"That's fine! He's right. If there's no internal support, how could the enemy be so arrogant?"
Feng Pojun's cell phone suddenly rang, and Feng Pojun muttered:
"If you call now, it must be bad news!"
Sure enough, as soon as the call was connected, an anxious voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Shut down! There's been unusual activity from the Bai family on the Myanmar border. Not only have they taken over the Mu family's raw stone mine, but their mercenaries are also gathering in large numbers towards the border. Clearly, they're planning something big!"
Feng Pojun's expression instantly darkened:
"What's going on with the King of Southern Xinjiang?"
"No? And the new God of War is still in Kun City!"
Feng Pojun frowned. This was all too abnormal! He simply replied, "I understand," and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Yang Qing naturally heard the voice on the phone clearly, but at this moment he pretended not to know and continued talking to Nuannuan.
Feng Pojun frowned, and after waiting for a while, seeing that Yang Qing still had no intention of talking to him, he could no longer help himself:
"Instructor Yang..."
This was indeed a difficult matter for him. He was the King of Southern Xinjiang, so what was he supposed to do? Should he just ask the King of Southern Xinjiang why he didn't strengthen border defenses? Should he blame him for lax guards and letting enemy warriors into Daxia?
But Yang Qing has a hard time dealing with this matter! To put it bluntly, his identity may still have some weight within the Armed Forces Management Bureau, but who would others know him if he left the Armed Forces Management Bureau?
Although Yang Qing is not afraid of anyone, is this something to be afraid of?
"Just call Director Long directly!" Yang Qing finally gave his own suggestion. After all, the Armed Forces Management Bureau had no external authority.
Only when foreign warriors enter Daxia territory will they be under the jurisdiction of the Military Control Bureau. This division is very awkward. If the border defense is lax, the Military Control Bureau will suffer.
Feng Pojun thought about it and decided that this was the only solution. He shook his head and called Director Long. Soon, the call was connected. Feng Pojun briefly explained the situation. Director Long on the other end of the phone was furious:
"That's outrageous! I know about this, I'll coordinate it!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone in a hurry.
Feng Pojun breathed a sigh of relief and put his phone away.
But at this time Yang Qing frowned:
"How much do you know about the King of Southern Xinjiang?"
Feng Pojun took a sip of tea and said:
"The King of Southern Xinjiang's real name is Chu Xiaotian, the eldest grandson of the Chu family in the imperial capital. When the first and second branches of the Chu family seized power, Chu Xiaotian's mother was framed by the second branch, who falsely accused her of being unfaithful and even produced evidence to prove that Chu Xiaotian was not of Chu family blood.
There was no such thing as paternity testing back then. The second wife produced countless evidences, and Chu Xiaotian and his mother could not explain themselves, so they were expelled from the Chu family.
Not long after leaving the Chu family, Chu Xiaotian's mother became depressed and died soon after. Chu Xiaotian was only 6 years old that year!
Chu Xiaotian then wandered around. One day, he met the head of Wudang Sect. Seeing that he felt sorry for Chu Xiaotian, he accepted him as his disciple.
It has to be said that Chu Xiaotian is indeed a martial arts genius. He broke through the Martial Master realm in just 12 years!
In those days, martial arts masters were rare. Chu Xiaotian thought he had the ability, so he secretly went down the mountain and headed straight for the imperial capital.
Over 100 members of the Chu family were killed overnight! When the police arrived at the scene, they saw a river of blood and corpses everywhere! The scene was truly hell on earth! Especially the head of the Chu family, Chu Ao, and the mother and son from the second wife, who were all stripped naked and hung at the door of the Chu family!
Feng Pojun took another sip of tea and continued:
"The Public Security Bureau reported the case to the emperor, and everyone from the emperor's chieftain to the common people in the imperial capital was shocked!
Eventually, the Public Security Bureau traced Chu Xiaotian to Wudang and immediately tracked him down! Wudang was thoroughly searched by the Public Security Bureau, but even then, Chu Xiaotian escaped!
At this time, the waiter began to serve the dishes, and Yang Qing gestured to eat and chat at the same time.
After taking a few bites of food, Feng Pojun continued:
“It is said that Chu Xiaotian evaded pursuit all the way to Southern Xinjiang. Somehow, he was noticed by the then Southern Xinjiang commander, who not only recruited him but also helped him to resolve the incident in the Imperial Capital!
At the time, the Kingdom of Yue was invading Daxia. Chu Xiaotian, relying on his martial arts skills, single-handedly charged into the enemy camp and slew their leader! He instantly became famous! He was highly commended! His meteoric rise to prominence was truly remarkable, from an ordinary soldier to a rising star, becoming a deputy general!
He was also specially appointed as the leader of the Tiger Guards, and he was to lead the formation of a team of warriors specializing in decapitation missions."
Yang Qing's pupils trembled when he heard this. Isn't this the perfect male protagonist?
Feng Pojun suddenly sighed:
"Not long after the Yue invasion was quelled, the Southern Xinjiang Commander led Chu Xiaotian on a border patrol. On the way, they were ambushed by the Yue. The commander was killed. Chu Xiaotian pursued the enemy and stormed directly into the Yue headquarters, slaughtering them once again. Finally, he returned to Daxia unscathed!
As the saying goes, an army cannot be without a commander for a day. Chu Xiaotian, due to his outstanding military achievements, soon took over the post of commander-in-chief of Southern Xinjiang! It was from that time that many soldiers and civilians began to call him the King of Southern Xinjiang!
Hearing this, Yang Qing frowned even tighter! He had a vague feeling that the commander's death was not that simple!
"So he proclaimed himself the King of Southern Xinjiang?"
Feng Pojun shook his head:
"Not really! The military seems to have recognized his identity now. And the governors of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan also seem to buy into his claims. At least when the King of Southern Xinjiang gives an order, the three border provinces obey his orders!"
Yang Qing fell silent. It didn't seem like a good thing to declare himself king and command his own troops.
Nuannuan seemed to feel a depressing atmosphere, but she also knew that some things were beyond her control, so she simply lowered her head and ate.
Yang Qing sighed and said:
"Let's go to the Mu Mansion tomorrow and see what happens."
Yang Qing felt from the words of the three directors that they didn't seem to have found any useful clues at the scene, so he decided to go and take a look himself.
