The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

"Alright! Let's go down the mountain! We've had enough of this humiliation!"

Zong Ze also laughed heartily.

"Master, you're still injured, slow down!"

Two middle-aged men nearby hurriedly stepped forward and carefully helped Zong Ze up.

Grandpa Zongze had suffered considerable injuries, and due to the hasty escape and lack of medical care, his recovery was not good.

Those of them who are disciples must always stay by their side and take good care of them.

Moreover, they were originally Zong Ze's right-hand men and most capable disciples. They were of good character, and after Old Master Zong was betrayed, they were the ones who stood by his side and protected him all the way.

It's a pity. There were originally many disciples, but along the way, many of them stayed behind to cover the rear and were never heard from again!

"I misjudged people and raised an ungrateful wretch, which has dragged you and your fellow disciples down with me." Zong Ze looked at his beloved disciple with some shame.

This time, he has failed his beloved student.

They were in the prime of their lives, but they were all killed by that traitor Ling Yuan!

"A teacher for a day is a father for life! Why should we be so polite to you, Master? If it weren't for you, Master, we might not be where we are today!"

The two disciples shook their heads and said.

"Good! Good! You're all excellent! Master was right about you!"

Zong Ze's old eyes turned bloodshot.

Although the betrayal was a great blow to him, he was also very gratified by the loyal disciples who had stayed by his side.

……

Jia Daoshi sat on Da Bai's back, reached into his coat, took out the last tobacco pouch, grabbed a handful of tobacco, and rolled it up with paper.

He had already finished smoking the Black Liqun cigarettes he brought earlier, but luckily he managed to find some more tobacco.

After being processed, it is barely edible.

He took out his lighter, lit the cigarette, and took a satisfying puff.

After overcoming the road blockade caused by the people, the army's morale soared, and they marched with the energy of a chicken on its back!

Jia Daoshi didn't worry about the army getting tired from marching too fast, because his real trump card was the mechanical behemoth special forces team he brought with him!

As for the rapidly advancing troops beside us, their main role at that time will likely still be cleaning up the battlefield.

The reason Jia Daoshi did not march in secret but instead swaggered along the official road was mainly to attract the attention of the combined forces of the Yuezhi and the Holy Maiden, so that they could concentrate their forces.

No matter what tactics they use, we just need to concentrate our forces and confront them head-on, instead of hiding and playing guerrilla warfare.

Both armies consist of 500,000 troops, but the Kushan Empire's 500,000-strong allied army was significantly stronger than this one!

Because both the Yuezhi and the Western Eight Kingdoms were defeated by the Kushan Empire!

The Kushan Empire did not attack the Yuezhi and the Western Eight Kingdoms because they looked down on those two insignificant places and preferred the rich land of the Great Jing.

Therefore, in Jia Daoshi's view, the holy maidens from the Yuezhi and the eight western kingdoms came to deliver the gifts!

Once he had dealt with the 500,000-strong allied army, he planned to press his advantage and take down the Yuezhi and the eight western kingdoms!

Perfect timing! Both of these places are rich in medicinal herbs!

Abundant natural treasures!

His wife, Ji Bingyan, had just ascended the throne and needed to establish her authority!

Expanding the territory of Dajing to the eight western kingdoms would be the most direct, effective, and domineering way to establish its authority!

In addition, the saintess of the Western Eight Kingdoms' Holy Maiden Temple also needs to be dealt with properly!

Once he has resolved things here, he will ascend to Yungu Leifeng!

They dared to seriously injure their brother-in-law and cousin; this debt cannot be ignored!

Just as Jia Daoshi was smoking and pondering, a shout suddenly rang out from ahead.

"Who goes there! Stop!"

That's the voice of the vanguard battalion soldiers!

"I am Wu Qingluo, the princess of Weiwu County! This is my token! I want to see your general!"

The princess of Weiwu County?

Upon hearing these words, Jia Daoshi snapped out of his thoughts and looked down ahead.

That's right, the people who came to block our way this time were none other than Wu Qingluo and his group who came out of the cave.

Jia Daoshi had heard his wife, Ji Bingyan, mention the princess of Weiwu County.

However, he never met the real person.

Just then, the commander of the vanguard battalion rode up again.

"Reporting to Jia Tisi, the princess of Weiwu County is blocking our way!"

"Is she really the princess of Weiwu County?" Jia Daoshi became more cautious.

"Indeed! A year ago, when Princess Weiwu got married, I had the honor of escorting her all the way. In addition, the sect leader of the Third Watch also came with the princess! There's no mistake!" The vanguard battalion commander clasped his hands and said.

"Oh, if that's the case, then let them come over." Jia Daoshi flicked his cigarette ash and casually tossed the few remaining cigarette butts on the ground beside him.

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! You've finally arrived! That's wonderful!"

Wu Qingluo rushed towards Jia Daoshi.

This girl was obviously very outgoing. As soon as she saw Jia Daoshi, she immediately called him "brother-in-law" like an old brother she hadn't seen for many years. Her easygoing personality was very endearing.

However, at this moment, they did look rather disheveled.

"Princess Qingluo, what's going on here?" Jia Daoshi asked, puzzled. Wasn't it said that he had betrayed the country and become a double agent in the middle of the night? Why are they acting like refugees now? What does this mean?

"Father! Zongyue! Come here quickly!" Wu Qingluo first introduced the visitor to Jia Daoshi, and then explained the situation.

"So it's the sect leader! A pleasure to meet you!"

Jia Daoshi clasped his hands in a fist salute. Now it seems that what happened at midnight was not simple!

"You flatter me, Lord Chief. I am ashamed!" Zong Ze was in poor health, but he still forced himself to be energetic in front of Jia Daoshi.

"Sect Master, there's no need to blame yourself. People's hearts are unpredictable and fickle. If anyone is to blame, it's the despicable methods of the Yuezhi and the Holy Maiden of the Western Eight Kingdoms!" Jia Daoshi comforted him.

A clash between two nations is not something a single martial arts sect can stop!

Upon hearing this, Zong Ze nodded helplessly.

After all, he's been in the business world for decades and has seen a lot of big scenes, so he can accept this little setback.

However, Zong Yue and his disciples beside him clenched their fists and their eyes were red!

Because along the way, they did lose many brothers!

Moreover, because of the eldest brother's betrayal, they were also considered traitors by the imperial court!

This is truly a great injustice!

"Brother-in-law, you have to help us!"

Wu Qingluo spoke up, saying that Jia Daoshi could see Ji Bingyan's shadow in her. It was clear that the late emperor was indeed a handsome man, and the genes of this clan were all very nice.

Moreover, this little girl had a very sweet tongue, constantly calling him "brother-in-law," which greatly increased Jia Daoshi's fondness for his sister-in-law.

"Don't worry, I'm not here for sightseeing. I'll get everything you've lost back for you!" Jia Daoshi nodded.

A light shone in Luo Mei's eyes!

Similarly, her affection for her powerful and domineering brother-in-law also skyrocketed!
