Chapter 5 Competing for Military Merit

The person who came was none other than Zi Chen's elder brother, Zi Lie, known as the rising star of the empire.

At the age of twenty-six, he is already the major general who commands the first army, and is also the most elite Xuanyi Iron Cavalry in the Western Wilderness. He is even higher in prestige than Ximen Zhan, and he has entered the innate realm himself.

A congenital master, Ximen Zhan has been a great martial artist for more than ten years, but he has been wandering at the door. Until now, he has only entered the innate realm with one foot. From this, you can imagine how difficult it is to enter the innate realm?

Under the leadership of Ximen Zhan, including Zi Chen, everyone arrived at the city gate. At this time, a man wearing black armor, with outstanding figure and handsome appearance slowly rode over on a tall horse, and followed him with thirty iron cavalry. Other black-clothed iron cavalry had stopped a mile outside the city.

"General Ximen, you sent an order to the general that there were 100,000 demon cavalry besieged the city and requested support. I was ordered by the general to lead the Xuanyi Iron Cavalry to travel all the way to Xiliang City. I saw such a scene. How should I explain this?" The person who came was none other than Zi Chen's elder brother, Zi Lie, the eldest son of the Zi family.

When he arrived at the city gate, he had no intention of dismounting. He looked down at Ximen Zhan and others coming out of the city gate. His eyes swept over Zi Chen who was following Ximen Zhan with disdain on his face.

Seeing Zi Lie so arrogant and rude, Lin Hu next to Ximen Zhan was about to have an attack. No matter how much Ximen Zhan was, he was also a general of Xiliang, and his official position was one level higher than that of the major general. It would be fine if you didn't come down to salute, but he even questioned in such an orderly tone. Is this too unwilling to take General Ximen Zhan seriously?

However, as soon as he made a move, he was pulled by Ximen Zhan.

"Major General, there are indeed 100,000 demon cavalry besieged by the city, but today's battle was defeated by our army..." Ximen Zhan said in a deep voice.

"Defeat in one fell swoop? Haha, General Ximen, you are really kidding. When did the demon cavalry become so vulnerable? Your total military force in Xiliang City is less than 50,000. It would be good to be able to defend Xiliang City, but you defeated 100,000 cavalry in one fell swoop? Do you think I am a three-year-old child?" Zi Lie sneered.

"Major General, this is a true matter. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to check it out. There are the corpses of the grassland demons along the way, and we have captured 20,000 people from the other party..." Faced with Zi Lie's unreasonableness, Ximen Zhan still said in a deep voice.

"Oh? It turns out that the soldiers under General Ximen are really so powerful. But since General Ximen's soldiers are so powerful, they can easily defeat the grassland demons, why do you still have to ask for help? When did the beacon fires on the border ask for help? "On the way to come, Zi Lie had already sent someone to check the scene and knew that what Ximen Zhan said was not a mistake, but what he couldn't believe was how could he defeat the 100,000 grassland cavalry with the little force in Xiliang City?

"Major General, the battlefield changes rapidly. The prairie demons are attacking 100,000 Iron Cavalry, and there is also an immortal master in charge. With the strength of our Xiliang City, we naturally cannot resist it. However, in today's battle, Zi Chen killed the opponent's immortal master and commander independently with his own strength. The opponent's formation is in chaos. Only then did we take this opportunity to launch an attack and defeat the Iron Cavalry of the Grassland. How about this?" Ximen Zhan said coldly, obviously very dissatisfied with Zi Lie's troubles.

"Zi Chen? That waste?" Hearing this explanation, Zi Lie pointed at Zi Chen and sneered, his eyes full of disdain.

"Major General, please pay attention to your words. If it weren't for the Zi Chen brothers today, the entire Xiliang City would have been destroyed under the iron cavalry of the grassland demon. Moreover, the commander killed by the Zi Chen brothers was Wanyan Gu, the youngest son of the Golden Man. This is a prince. With such military achievements, it won't take long for the Zi Chen brothers to be promoted to a major general..." At this time, Lin Hu, who had been standing beside Ximen Zhan, could no longer help but speak.

Why is the gap so big if you are the young master of the Zi family?

"Oh? So, this general led more than 10,000 brothers under his command to come for hundreds of miles regardless of fatigue, just to clean up the battlefield for you?" Zi Lie sneered, and a cold breath looked at Zi Chen in the crowd.

He actually killed a prince?

Ximen Zhan frowned. Zi Lie's words were so obvious, and it took credit for it.

If you don't agree, it will be difficult to die well.

"Haha, the major general worked tirelessly and rushed to rescue thousands of miles to intimidate the grassland demons. Later, he joined forces with our army to defeat the grassland demons and kill more than ten thousand enemies. Major general, what do you think?" Ximen Zhan said with a smile.

Although it was a bit heartbreaking to divide so many military achievements, after all, tens of thousands of people died this time, and splitting tens of thousands of people was nothing. The remaining military achievements were enough to divide the brothers under his command.

"Hahahaha, General Ximen, you are really joking. How could I snatch military merits from my soldiers? I didn't kill any of them. I just killed Wanyan Gu, right, my dear brother..." Zi Lie looked at Zi Chen with a smile.

As soon as these words were said, everyone was shocked. Everyone looked at Zi Lie incredibly, looking at this peerless genius who was known as the rising star of the Empire. After a few days, he only took a day to arrive. Everyone remembered this friendship. It was acceptable to share ten thousand people. After all, there was General Changsun Ce behind him, but now, he actually wanted to seize the greatest credit.

Everyone knows that killing Wanyan Gu and the Immortal Master is the key to this battle. In order to shoot the two arrows, Zi Chen even cracked his mouth. The two arrows almost exhausted all his strength. With such credit, he was enough to be promoted to major general, and even a title. But now, Zi Lie, his elder brother, is going to snatch the biggest credit? Or say it in front of so many people, is this really too arrogant?

Zi Chen's face was filled with anger. His mother was a famous prostitute. Because of his mother, he has been ridiculed and bullied since he was a child. In the Zi family, his status is even worse than that of some housekeepers, and even some girls are above him.

And his elder brothers and sisters never regarded him as brothers. When his father was not present, they all called him a bastard. If it weren't for his father's care, he would have left the cold and indifferent home. Now he has finally come to this border and made his first military merit. He has to make his first military merit, but he has to steal his military merits as soon as he comes. How can he tolerate it?

"Your bitch mother seems to be buried at the foot of Nanshan Mountain in the south of the city. If you don't agree, the cemetery will be visited by a group of tomb robbers several times. I guess my father can't do anything about it, right?" Just as Zi Chen wanted to refuse, Zi Lie's cold words came to his ears.

Zi Chen's body shook, and his face turned pale in an instant. He looked at Zi Lie sitting on the horse's back with disbelief. He was smiling at him, full of sarcasm.

Zi Chen knew that this was a line of voice transmission from Zi Lie, and only he could hear this sentence.

But what Zi Chen didn't expect was that for this military merit, he actually threatened himself with the resting place of his late mother.

His mother died when he was three years old, but because of birth, he clearly remembered how the beautiful and inconspicuous woman loved and loved him over the past three years. He even clearly remembered that if it weren't for the persecution of the poisonous women in the family, how could his mother die of illness at such a young age?

She was born in a brothel, but she was pure and clean and always kept her body like a jade. She was just impressed by her father's style, fell in love with her father, and even for her father's future, she refused her father's determination to leave the Zi family and fly away with him for her sake. Her love for her father was selfless, even if she was just a concubine with no status in the end, but she was already very satisfied?

But what happened? The poisonous women in the family did not let her go at all. Now, can't they even get rest after her death?

Zi Chen hated, hated the injustice of the heavens, hated the gap in status, hated himself for helplessness in facing power.

His fists were clenched tightly. At this moment, he wanted to rush forward to fight Zi Lie to the death, but he knew that even if he could really kill a congenital master, he would definitely not be able to kill Zi Lie. His mother is the current queen's sister, his uncle is the general of the Western Wilderness and Changsun Ce. No matter how his father loves him, he is the father's son after all. The thirty iron cavalry behind him are all the elites. How could he kill him?

Besides, even if I really kill him now, so what?

Will the ten thousand black-clothed iron cavalry behind him let him go?

Zi Chen is not afraid of death, but he doesn't want to die. It has been twenty years since he came to this world. In the past twenty years, he has experienced all the sufferings of the world. He can fight for his military achievements. If he doesn't even have his life, then what else can he fight for?

Looking at Zi Lie's smiling face, Zi Chen took a deep breath, and then a bright smile appeared on his face: "Well, my brother is extremely skilled in martial arts, and he is even more willing to condescend and mix with ordinary cavalry, taking risks with himself, taking the general's head, and killing the opponent's immortal master, completely dismantling the fighting spirit of the grassland demon, and making great contributions to this victory..."

"Hahahaha, you are indeed my good brother. My elder brother has not loved you in vain over the years, hahaha..." Zi Lie smiled so proudly. The waste is indeed a waste. Even if you are stronger, it is still a waste. In order to please him, he even thought about excuses for him.

He was just a small threat and was willing to give this huge contribution to himself. Don’t he know the truth that one general can achieve success and endure thousands of bones?

What's more, the corpse at the foot of the Nanshan Mountain had already been stolen by my mother to whip the corpse.
