Chapter 783: The Happiness of a Baller

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was rare for two top-notch experts to fight. The soldiers surrounded them to watch.

In the battle with Qin Canglan, Su Mots strength was displayed bit by bit.

Seeing that Su MO had actually taken so many moves in the hands of the Grand Marshal, Liu Ren finally believed that Su MO had indeed not used his full strength just now.

Qin Canglans spear shot out like a dragon and attacked Su Mos lower body. Su

MO tapped the ground with his spear and jumped up. He flipped over Qin Canglans back and attacked him with a beautiful reversal the moment he landed.

Qin Canglan did not turn around. He stabbed the red ta.s.sel spear into the ground. Su MOs spearhead pierced his red ta.s.sel spear.

Great!

In the crowd, someone clapped and cheered.

Su MO smiled. Granduncle, it seems youre still young. Then what about this

He decisively retracted his spear, raised it above his head, and turned in the air before slas.h.i.+ng down.

There were no complicated moves, only simple heavy strikes.

Qin Canglan held the red ta.s.sel spear with both hands and blocked his attack.

Then, Qin Canglan praised, Its been a long time since welast fought. Your internal strength has become much deeper.

Su MO retracted his spear. Thank you for letting me win!

The two of them exchanged more than ten moves. The soldiers blood boiled as they watched, wis.h.i.+ng they could be as powerful as the two of them.

The soldiers were intoxicated and wished that the two of them could continue fighting. However, at this moment, a cold voice sounded from behind everyone. Why arent you training early in the morning? Why are you all gathered here?

Everyones expressions changed.

Qin Canglan and Su MO stopped gesturing.

A general in armor and holding a helmet strode over. This person was none other than Leng Tiannans biological uncle, Leng Kui.

Five years ago, after Wu Anjun died in battle with Wei Xu and a few children of the Wei family, he took over the army at the border. Emperor Jing Xuan conferred him the t.i.tle of First-grade General of the North.

In the Great Zhou, the highest position of a general was the Grand Marshal, and below that was athe First-grade General.

Leng Kui said with a dignified aura, All of you are standing here. Is there no need to train?

Everyone dispersed.

Only Leng Kui, Liu Ren, Qin Canglan, and Su MO were left on the noisy venue.

Qin Canglan and Su MO came to the border in the name of escorting the provisions. If necessary, the two of them could be mobilized, but the real person in charge was Leng Kui.

Leng Kui seemed to have only seen Qin Canglan and Su MO at this moment. He cupped his hands at Qin Canglan indifferently. So its the Old Duke whos guiding the soldiers in martial arts. I came at the wrong time.

Qin Canglan smiled faintly. Its not guidance. Im bored and want to spar with Moer.

Leng Kui gave a fake smile. Then Im afraid Ill have to disturb the two of you. Why dont we talk in the tent? General Liu, come too.

Liu Ren cupped his hands. Yes.

The group went to Leng Kuis tent.

It turned out that the spy had sent back information that Wan City, which was 50 kilometers to the east, had been invaded by bandits and raiders again. This was the second time this month. Leng Kui hoped that Su MO could bring troops to Wan City to quell the chaos.

Leng Kui said, Hurry up and bring your troops to Wan City. You must eliminate the rebels in Wan City!

Su MO asked, How many men does the general plan to give me?

Leng Kui said, 5,000.

Liu Ren was stunned. How can only 5,000 be enough?

Leng Kui said seriously, The situation at the border is tense now. I can only a.s.sign so many troops.

5,000 is enough, Su MO said.

Leng Kui smiled in satisfaction. Then its settled. You can set off later. Qin Canglan suddenly said, General, what arrangements do you have for the defense at the border?

Leng Kui looked at him. In what capacity are you asking me?

Qin Canglan smiled. I was just asking. Its fine if its not convenient for you to answer.

Its not inconvenient. I plan to station troops in Barbican and Liao City. What about Jia County? Qin Canglan asked.

Leng Kui said, Jia County is just a poor town with a poor population. Our military strength is limited, so we have to try our best to defend a larger city, right? Moreover, Jia Countys geographical location is special. Once we increase our troops, it will undoubtedly be provoking the Northern Yan. We have to prevent the Northern Yan from causing trouble, not initiate a war. With that, he stood up and walked out.

Qin Canglan said calmly, Leng Kui, this battle is destined to be fought.

Leng Kui stopped in his tracks and did not say anything. He lifted the curtain and left.

Su MO looked at Qin Canglan. Granduncle.

Qin Canglan nodded. Hes a First-grade general. Do as he says first. At the same time, investigate the situation in Wan City.

Su MO pondered for a moment and said, Granduncle, with all due respect, His Majesty doesnt want to fight this battle.

The Leng family was Emperor Jing Xuans trusted aide. Otherwise, why would Emperor Jing Xuan give the greatest benefit to the Leng family? Leng Kuis att.i.tude was largely Emperor Jing Xuans att.i.tude.

Qin Canglan snorted. I know he doesnt want to fight. I didnt count on him in the first place. The Qin familys cavalry is on the way. Last time, Wei Ting defeated Northern Yan and could have pursued them to the end. It was our emperor who was afraid of wasting the peoples money and forcefully summoned Wei Ting back. He even disbanded the Wei familys military power. I dont want the Qin family and the Su family to become the second Wei family. We have to fight this battle!

This did not mean that he had to send the soldiers to their deaths. It was just that even if he endured it, it would not be able to exchange for the Northern Yan peace. The yearly tribute of Northern Yan was getting more and more perfunctory every year. Wasnt Northern Yans defeat tragic enough? No, it was Northern Yan that controlled Emperor Jing Xuans att.i.tude. They knew that although he had won on the surface, he was afraid in his heart.

Qin Canglan would rather die on the battlefield than submit to the enemy!

Su Xiaoxiao, Fu Su, and Jing Yi rushed for a day and night before finally arriving at Chong County in the morning.

Due to the fact that merchant groups from various countries were stationed in Chong County, even Northern Yan seemed to deliberately avoid this place during the battle. Therefore, after seeing the devastation at the border, Su Xiaoxiao found it unbelievable that they had barged into Chong County.

Chong County is so lively, she sighed.

There are many caravans. Fu Su parked the carriage in front of a rice shop.

Young Madam, weve arrived at the first one.

He went to get a stool, but Jing Yi had already reached out to help Su Xiaoxiao down.

Fu Su wanted to say, Can you not fight with a secret guard for work? Youll cost me my increment!

Su Xiaoxiao asked about the price of food. It was probably because the situation at the border was tense that the price of food had increased. The price of rice increased by three copper coins per catty, and the price of white flour increased by four copper coins. There was no need to mention the price of chicken, duck, and mutton.

They shopped from morning to night. Almost all the shops in the county city had been cleaned out by them. Even the food s.h.i.+pped to the Western Jin was intercepted by her at a high price.

Needless to say, she would not leave a single grain of rice for Northern Yan!

After intercepting all the provisions of the Northern Yan caravan, Su Xiaoxiao finally experienced the joy of being a baller.

Fu Su turned around and looked at the carriages that occupied almost half the street. These provisions should be enough to last through the winter. How should we transport them to the border next? With so much provisions, it will be very eye-catching on the way..
