Zhang San, please behave yourself!-Chapter 904 - 838: I Have a Plan!

In a small tavern in Yizhou City.

Passing merchants stopped here to rest and inquire about the recent situation in Yizhou City.

After all, the matter of King Shu Yang Ling’s rebellion has already been spread, and the entire military of Sword South Path is concentrating towards Yizhou City.

Everyone knows that Yang Ling is about to make a big move. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

So, many merchants have hurriedly brought various goods to Yizhou City, hoping to sell them at a good price.

Some have even begun hoarding supplies and then offering them to King Shu Yang Ling.

After all, what they give to Yang Ling now is only tens of thousands of taels of gold in grain and iron ore.

But in the future, when King Shu Yang Ling becomes the Emperor, what they gain will be millions, even tens of millions in gold.

So, what’s this small investment now?

Many even go bankrupt just to sponsor King Shu, all for a chance at the future.

"Have you seen the notice at the door? King Shu’s Princess Consort Lin is issuing the Order of the Heroes! Inviting all righteous people of the Sword South Path to join forces to deal with Zhang San of the Town Martial Office!"

The passing merchant couldn’t help but grow curious and asked, "I heard that Princess Consort Lin is the granddaughter of the Sect Master of the Qing City Sword Sect. With her status, I bet the recruiting place is already flooded with people!"

The tavern waiter gave a wry smile and said, "The problem is, the Qing City Sword Sect has announced their allegiance to the Town Martial Office. And so has the Martial Marquis Manor. Two of the three major martial paths of Sword South Path have joined the Town Martial Office. Who among the martial artists wouldn’t know better than to get involved in this mess?"

Another merchant asked, "But I heard Yizhou City has the four great martial aristocratic families of Sword South Path, aren’t they all supporting King Shu?"

"Yes, they support him, and they’ve even reached agreements with King Shu. Naturally, they don’t need to join this Order of the Heroes!"

At this moment, everyone realized that although Princess Consort Lin’s past status was extraordinary,

today, even her own family is not supporting King Shu, so naturally, no one else would come.

At this time, Princess Consort Lin stood in the courtyard written on the Order of the Heroes, looking at the empty gate, already sensing that perhaps no one would come.

After all, two of the three major martial paths in Sword South Path didn’t just not participate; they joined the Town Martial Office.

How would other martial forces dare come?

As for those non-martial forces’ loose cultivators, they would have even less courage to take part in such a matter.

At this moment, a misty rain began to fall from the sky.

The rain fell on Lin Mengbai’s shoulders, eliciting a helpless sigh.

Just then, a paper umbrella was held over Lin Mengbai’s head.

Lin Mengbai turned her head and saw that the one holding the umbrella was Xiao Aotian.

"I am sorry, Princess. It is my incompetence, failing to recruit anyone."

Lin Mengbai smiled gently and said softly, "It’s not your fault. After all, in these times, it’s rare to find a man like you, unafraid of power, full of passion."

"Princess."

"Aotian."

For a moment, as their eyes met, they unexpectedly experienced some indescribable feelings.

Though Princess Consort Lin had been with King Shu for many years, she always felt something was off in some aspects.

But she felt embarrassed to ask others about it.

Oddly, the concubines she bought for King Shu always appeared extremely satisfied in that one-fifth of an hour.

Lin Mengbai always thought it was her problem.

Yet, seeing the man before her, for some reason, she wanted to test whether all men were the same, or if it was truly her issue.

Yet Xiao Aotian also knew in his heart that since his senior sister had made a choice, there could be no possibility between them anymore.

But just because the senior sister from Martial Marquis Manor was a senior sister, doesn’t mean the senior sister from Qing City Sword Sect wasn’t a senior sister?

If she’s a senior sister, why shouldn’t I?

For a moment, their eyes began to grow confused.

And at this moment, footsteps suddenly echoed from outside the door.

Though a fine rain fell all around,

in that murmuring rain, the sound of footsteps splashing through the accumulated water became forceful.

The two looked towards the door and saw in the increasingly heavy rain,

a robust man striding in.

Then behind him, a second, a third, a fourth person walked in...

The people coming in grew more and more.

At this moment, both Princess Consort Lin and Xiao Aotian realized that this Sword South Path wasn’t solely the Sword South Path of the Town Martial Office.

There would still be some brave martial artists unafraid of authority willing to stand up and face the darkness of the sky with them!

At once, Princess Consort Lin was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to bring money.

No matter their strength, everyone who came was rewarded first!

Those brave enough to follow me must be heavily rewarded!

Only in this way can we ensure everyone follows me unwaveringly!

This trick she learned from watching how King Shu rewarded his concubines.

Indeed, as soon as she mentioned the distribution of money, the newcomers were all overjoyed, each showing a willingness to work hard for her.

Xiao Aotian immediately began registering the martial artists who came due to the Order of the Heroes.

Though almost all of them were not from Sword South Path, which was somewhat concerning,

upon reflection, which martial artist of Sword South Path isn’t afraid of Zhang San’s tyranny?

They all fear him!

But these outsiders are different.

They probably don’t even know what’s happening here; they just saw the Order of the Heroes and came.

This is even better!

After all, their sects aren’t in Sword South Path, and though we don’t know them well, martial artists like them aren’t worried about Zhang San’s revenge.

So Xiao Aotian quickly recorded everyone’s information and told everyone that following the Princess Consort would ensure a bright future!

The martial artists who came, though not very talkative, showed agreement with Aotian’s words, smiling brightly.

In the Shu King’s Mansion, King Shu also heard that Princess Consort Lin began recruiting martial artists to strengthen his forces.

King Shu realized that with Zhang San near, it was time to face the fierce beast rumored to be terrifying.

However, for King Shu to devise a way to counter Zhang San now, he couldn’t come up with a good solution.

But as the mighty King Shu, should he really be resolving issues himself?

King Shu Yang Ling ordered that all the critical generals concentrated near Yizhou City be invited over.

The generals had actually been waiting around Yizhou City for quite some time.

Many generals were already starting to feel discontent.

After all, Zhang San had been advancing from Changming Mountain, a hundred miles outside Yizhou City.

Yet up until now, King Shu was still plotting.

Oh, my dear Prince!

You’re about to rebel, can’t you act decisively?

Another moment of delay, and Zhang San will be at the gates of Yizhou City.

And at this moment, King Shu finally gathered them all.

"Beloved generals, this King has a plan..."
