Chapter 43: Worlds Apart

ress dowager of the Great Qin Dynasty, the most honorable woman in the entire Great Qin Empire!Because she was the Empress, other concubines had to wear mourning attire when facing the coffin of the f..."You bold scoundrel, daring to come to my Xue family and cause trouble! Come die!"

In the darkness, Xue An brandished his blade with glee, shouting excitedly.

At this moment, he felt like an invincible general on the battlefield, leading his troops to rout the enemy!

"Brothers, give me kill!"

Although only fifty soldiers from the Pianshan camp were stationed here, their charge was unlike anything the other Xue family fighters could match. Even the enemy who had launched a night attack seemed momentarily stunned by these soldiers.

"Cao, brothers, let's charge with me!"

All were desperate men, their spirits crushed under pressure only to ignite with ferocity. They brandished their swords, faces contorted in savage glee as they hacked down.

"An'er, be careful!"

In the rear, Xue Baosheng watched as Xue An fought valiantly against the enemy. He felt a mixture of pride and worry etched upon his face.

On the one hand, I'm relieved that my son seems to have grown up at this moment. On the other hand, I'm worried because swords have no eyes and fear he might get hurt.

"Father, rest assured, watch how I slay the enemy!"

Xue An shouted and waved the sharp blade in his hand. Under the cultivation of one ring and two realms, the blade's movements were both skilled and graceful, momentarily keeping the enemies at bay.

However, Xue An didn't know that battlefield wasn't like street brawls between hooligans. Unless you had absolute military superiority, you needed to focus on coordination.

But these things, even to Xue An who was still indulging in luxury and revelry despite being inside the Pianshan Camp, were completely unknown. Besides, before departing for their mission, all soldiers of the Pianshan Camp had also received some instructions from Yuan Li.

Although Xue An held the position of deputy school lieutenant in the Panshan Camp, these soldiers knew deep down that Xue An had always been an outsider!

So when Xue An was cutting down enemies a little too recklessly on the battlefield, the few soldiers from the Pianshan camp behind him exchanged glances. “Captain Xue, we’re coming to help you!”

"Okay, hack them to pieces, haha…"

Xue An, a bit too excited to see his teammates catching up, immediately increased the speed of his chopping, so that despite initially being behind, he was now at the front!

The bird that sticks its head out the most gets shot first. The one who stands out the most is also the easiest target.

The bandits, already beaten down by the soldiers of Pan Mountain Camp, saw Xue An and immediately saw an opportunity. Soon, several of them charged towards Xue An.

"Brothers, let's kill the leader!"

"Kill him and we'll win!"

"Kill!!"

If they were on the battlefield, relying on the elite troops of Pianshan Camp, these bandits wouldn't even be able to get close to the main general. However, now these bandits have made their way here unimpeded.

"Kill!"

The leading bandit possessed the cultivation of the Fifth Realm, something Xue An couldn't possibly resist. Thankfully, Xue An lacked brute force, but his quick wit made up for it. Realizing he couldn't hold back, he instantly retreated, slipping away on his heels to allow the soldiers behind him to take his place.

But to Xue An Yi's surprise, something unexpected happened. Her body, which was originally retreating, suddenly felt a push from somewhere, and instead of moving backward, it took a few steps forward.

Below these few steps, Xue An directly plunged into the abyss.

A long blade swung down from the thief's hand, and seemingly frightened into stupor, Xue An was completely unable to parry. With a single blow, boiling hot blood splattered, yet Xue An felt an endless chill.

"An'er!!"

Xue Baosheng, who had always kept a close eye on Xue An, watched in horror as his son was beheaded by the bandits. His eyes widened in disbelief, and he then ran towards the battlefield like a madman.

"An'er, my An'er!!"

Under the agonizing screams, it was clear that this father was on the verge of collapse!

On the battlefield, when they saw headless Xue An fall to the ground, the soldiers of Panshan Camp immediately roared, "Captain Xue has died in battle! Revenge for Captain Xue! Kill!"

Xue An's death seemed to ignite the rage of these elite soldiers. Their counterattack surged forward like a landslide, crashing down upon the bandits.

The final result, of course, was that the bandits were beaten until they pissed and ** themselves, leaving behind a pile of corpses as they retreated.

It wasn't a complete victory, although the bandits retreated, we also lost a brave centurion from our Pianshan camp!

"An'er, my An'er!!"

On the gradually quieting battlefield, besides the faint groans of the wounded, there was only Xue Baosheng clutching a headless corpse and wailing loudly.

The next day, Zhang Liyang, upon receiving the news, rushed to Xue's residence early in the morning.

Looking at the already set up spirit hall, Zhang Liyang came to Xue Baosheng's side who was expressionless and softly said, "Lord Xue, please be consoled."

Looking at Xue Baosheng's lack of reaction, Zhang Liyang paused slightly before continuing, "Don't worry, those fifty soldiers didn't protect their general well. I've already had Yuan Squad Leader punish them."

As for those bandits, I will go to Lord Cai's place immediately and ask him to conduct a city-wide search. We must capture those despicable bandits!

"At the same time, Your Highness, considering your bravery, has already drafted a document to be sent to the Ministry of War in the capital city, vying for you to be posthumously awarded the title of Heroic Junior Captain, a rank of Seventh Grade!"

Don't underestimate the status of a seventh-rank official. Many people spend their entire lives striving to achieve this level, and for Xue An, this pampered young master, it's already a tremendous honor.

When it came to this point, Xue Baosheng, who had been expressionless all along, finally reacted. He turned to Zhang Liyang and bowed, "On my behalf, thank the princess. Although I am heartbroken and pained by An'er's death in battle for the country, I also feel a sense of pride."

As for those thieves, there's no need for Master Cai to take action. I already know who they are

When Zhang Liyang heard Xue Baosheng say that Xue An died for the country, he just smiled. However, the information about the bandits that Xue Baosheng said later made Zhang Liyang a little surprised, "Sir Xue, do you know who these bandits are"

"Humph!" A cold snort escaped his lips, Xue Baosheng's eyes now burning with hatred. "I recognize those thieves from last night."

"Who"

"Jia Family!"

"The Jia family" Zhang Liyang was taken aback. "Are you sure Sir Xue, you can't just say things like this."

"Spouting nonsense" Xue Baosheng raised his head, revealing a ferocious expression. "I've dealt with the Jia family for over ten years, which one of his guards don't I know"

"On the surface, he is a bodyguard for the Jia family, but secretly, each one of them is an outlaw!"

"Jia family! I didn't go to provoke you, but you came to burn my granary and kill my An'er. For this revenge, I, Xue Bao, swear I will not be a human!"

"Lord Xue, you should think this through carefully. The Jia family is powerful. If we act rashly..."

"Master Zhang, the vengeance of killing one's son is beyond comprehension!" Xue Bao interrupted Zhang Liyang's words, "But I also have a request."Liyang."Hmm." He nodded and then took an envelope from his bosom, "Deliver this to our ancestor as quickly as possible!"Cai Ning's assassination and coma, He Houdé reported the matter four days ago, g...
