Like a surging tide, it surged endlessly in their hearts.
That was the passion and memories awakened by Wei Changxuan's poems.
"Hahaha... - What a wonderful poem, what a wonderful poem!"
"Truly worthy of being a man of the Wei family, possessing such spirit!"
A hearty, cheerful laugh erupted, like a thunderclap in a clear sky.
The silence was instantly shattered.
The speaker was Wei Yuan, who had just stood on the high platform.
At that moment, he laughed freely and heartily.
But a few tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
Those were tears of joy and pride, a deep fusion of emotions.
"Changxuan, your performance today was truly amazing."
Even if my uncle goes to war this time...
Even if they ultimately cannot return alive, my Wei family still has successors, and the continuation of the family line is still possible!
You... have not disgraced the illustrious name of the men of the Wei family!
……
Woohoo!
A deep, resonant bugle call slowly rose into the air.
The sound was like a powerful war song that had traveled from an ancient battlefield.
It slowly recounts the endless vicissitudes and heroic deeds of the journey.
"The army moves out!"
From the high platform, Wei Yuan's authoritative voice conveyed this brief yet authoritative command.
In an instant.
The 70,000-strong army was like a surging tide.
They surged forward towards the northern border in a mighty and imposing manner.
The long, winding crowd stretched forward.
From a distance, it looks just like a giant steel dragon lying across the earth and stretching across the sky.
Undeterred, they marched toward the battlefield, a place filled with the unknown and peril.
The scene was so magnificent and awe-inspiring that it was truly breathtaking.
"Changxuan! There's no need to speak out for the injustice I suffered."
Serving the country with utmost loyalty is the right path.
What I am loyal to is this beautiful land and its people!
As for the others, what do they have to do with me?!
Wei Yuan's last words, spoken with the force of a bell, echoed clearly in Wei Changxuan's ears.
When Wei Changxuan slowly raised his head again,
What comes into view is only the long, drawn-out journey.
And the army's march stretched as far as the eye could see.
Yellow dust filled the sky, and grime flew everywhere.
The army's figures gradually disappeared into the distance.
Until it disappeared from sight.
……
In the afternoon.
The sunlight was warm but slightly lazy.
It gently sprinkled down on the night watchman's office.
When Wei Changxuan led Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou into the night watchman's office.
The entire night watchman's yamen team was nearly half the size of what it used to be.
The bustling scene of people coming and going, busy and busy, is gone.
It now appears exceptionally deserted and sparsely populated, with only the fourth-rank master, Jin Luo, among them.
At this moment, only Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou remained; the rest of the personnel had been led to the battlefield by Wei Yuan.
Those who remain here today are mostly Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou's trusted subordinates.
This made it even easier for Wei Changxuan to use!
"Brother Yang, Sister Rou, gather everyone immediately! We're going to pull off a big heist today!"
Wei Changxuan strode into the main hall of the yamen and sat down steadily in the main seat.
Jiang Fang, Yan Ling Ji, and Jing Ni stood beside him.
At this moment, the three women did not deliberately conceal their stunning beauty.
Wearing a fitted martial arts robe, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, exuding a unique and charming aura.
Their appearance caused quite a stir in the entire night watchman's office.
Everyone turned to look, whispering and gossiping among themselves.
But after learning that these three were Wei Changxuan's personal maids...
Everyone immediately composed themselves and became extremely respectful.
After all, the tragic end of Zhu Yang and his son was still fresh in everyone's mind.
Everyone knew that Wei Changxuan was ruthless and not someone to be trifled with.
Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou were equally surprised and astonished by the three mysterious women who suddenly appeared beside Wei Changxuan.
Especially from that aloof and beautiful woman with short blonde hair.
They truly felt a chilling, terrifying sense of oppression.
This overwhelming aura was so powerful that even seasoned fourth-rank martial artists like them found it difficult to withstand.
I couldn't help but marvel inwardly; it was truly unimaginable.
Just how powerful is this short-haired blonde woman?!
Wei Changxuan directly demanded that they gather all the night watchmen.
This unusual behavior filled Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou with suspicion and confusion.
The two exchanged a glance, a hint of doubt flashing in their eyes.
I couldn't help but ask:
"Changxuan, why are you summoning everyone?"
Could some earth-shattering case have occurred?
Wei Changxuan slowly stood up.
He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, and his eyes were sharp as an eagle's.
Staring intently at all the night watchmen present, he spoke slowly and deliberately, each word deliberate and resounding:
"That old scoundrel, the Minister of Rites, actually dared to scheme against me today."
I'll make him see how I utterly destroy him!
His voice was like the biting wind of a cold winter's day, icy and chilling.
His words were filled with undisguised, intense anger and murderous intent.
This shocked everyone present.
"I, the night watchman, am authorized to act first and report later, a privilege granted by the Emperor!"
I can't help but believe it; that old bastard, the Minister of Rites, has been completely clean-cut all these years, without committing a single offense!
Subsequently, Wei Changxuan summoned all the night watchmen.
The target was the residence of the Minister of Rites.
He was determined to go and confiscate their property and exterminate their entire clan.
Make the other party pay the most painful price for their actions, and make them pay for their crimes in blood.
What nonsense about "a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years"!
I'm getting my revenge today, and I'm not going to let it wait until tomorrow!
What?! The law?!
Haha! In my world, my power is the law!
Let that old bastard Emperor Yuanjing keep a close eye on things first.
How I systematically and methodically eliminated his henchmen and lackeys!
I'm going to make this guy completely isolated and abandoned by everyone!
Wei Changxuan pondered to himself, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.
Moreover, he had long ago meticulously collected intelligence information through the Luowang network.
They have firmly grasped numerous conclusive pieces of evidence that Li Yulang, the Minister of Rites, has knowingly broken the law.
He accepted bribes on a large scale during the imperial examinations, leaked exam questions at will, and openly helped others cheat.
His dissolute son was even more audacious, forcibly abducting women and cheating on others' poems, among other things.
These crimes, each and every one of them, were so heinous that they deserved to die hundreds of times over.
