Chapter 1120: Chapter 1116: Uninvited Guests…..
“Master Tian……”
As Tian Liang and Tian Heng were organizing the Western Sea Army to receive the elixirs, a group of high-ranking officers from the army had already gathered in secret to discuss.
“The Commander this time…” The middle-aged man who spoke first hesitated, but it was clear he was extremely anxious.
“He’s gone too far this time!” The speaker was Tian Yusheng, a member of a collateral branch of the Tian Family, now considered one of the elders with great prestige within the family. After all, within Tian Heng’s line, only he remained as the sole direct descendant. Though nominally a collateral branch, in reality, they had become part of the direct line of the Tian Family.
“He’s planning to sacrifice all of us just for his own career…” Tian Yusheng said grimly, his expression dark.
“If he refuses loyalty, then we can no longer be blamed for our betrayal…” The speaker was a tall and burly man, easily recognizable to anyone in the Tian Family Army—Wu You, now the Family Head of the Wu Family, the largest affiliated family of the Tian Family. After a few prominent deputy generals lost their lives in the last incident, Wu You had risen to take one of those positions, becoming one of the most influential deputy generals in the Tian Family Army and instantly enjoying substantial benefits.
Just as he was reveling in newfound success, he was now on the verge of losing everything. How could he not be furious?
“Everyone, back when we followed him, who among us didn’t give everything we had? Whatever he said, we obeyed. When he pledged allegiance to the Siao Family, despite the great risks, did any of the brothers complain? Didn’t we charge forward together without hesitation?”
“Then later, when he sided with Chen Qing, we all held positions of nobility in the Imperial Court, belonging to legitimate aristocracy. There was absolutely no need to take such risks. And yet, no one objected. He led us to Jiangnan, and everyone rolled up their sleeves and followed him.”
What do you think?
