Chapter 611: Chapter 178: You Corrupt Official [Added 10 more for Silver Alliance Wise Haichen] Chapter 611: Chapter 178: You Corrupt Official [Added 10 more for Silver Alliance Wise Haichen] Especially this celestial-like girl in white who occasionally speaks while lifting stones: “Where to place them? What angle? What direction? Check if they’re arranged correctly. We can’t be careless about this!”

Wu Tiejun can only marvel at this.

Having the strength to lift tens of thousands of pounds and leaping with that weight, even taking flight… those were two entirely different concepts!

The fundamental concept of lifting tens of thousands of pounds is to stand on level ground, feet on the earth. Not only can you leverage your strength, but it also involves mere lifting.

On the other hand, moving at high speed while carrying that weight, even possibly flying with it, is almost unthinkable…

For a more intuitive comparison, a person who can lift twenty thousand pounds with both hands on level ground. Give him two thousand pounds, he may not be able to jump very high, perhaps not even walk briskly, let alone fly tens of meters high…

Speaking during this process is—it wouldn’t be fair to call it a fairy tale—but at least another level of concept!

“Isn’t that Miss Dong from the Cloud Palace of Heavenly Sword?”

Wu Tiejun’s eyes are bulging in surprise.

He really did not expect that the princess of the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace is doing this kind of work here, doing it enthusiastically, and even following orders.

“This young lady is called Dong of Cloud Palace Jade Sword? Her name and nickname are both lovely! She arrived just the day before yesterday and immediately joined in the reconstruction. Thanks to her, a lot of heavy work many were scared to execute for fear of mishaps was all taken up by her.”

“As for her strength, words like ‘born with divine strength’, and ‘able to lift a thousand pounds’ do not do it justice.”

“The speed of the project is so fast now, it’s all thanks to her and the two men next to her.”

This official spoke with great admiration, “These two men are very energetic and have been helping for over a month now. They don’t complain, their quality is really high.”

“They vie to do any work, a significant part of the massive stone slabs being carved on that side was carried over by them. If their cultivation hadn’t reached the peak of the Human-Level and half-step to Earth Level, I’d be worried that they’d get exhausted.”

Although there are many martial artists in Yuezhou with high strength, those on the senior ranks are seldom willing to put down their status and participate in reconstruction. The Xu brothers’ cultivation is not very high, but they are the backbone.”

After all, near Earth-Level cultivation is equivalent to general-level grade, even in Wu Tiejun’s army, how could they take it lightly.”

Wu Tiejun looked at the two men the official was praising, and let out a gasp of surprise.

“Isn’t this Xu the Third and Xu the Fourth?”

The nearby official was puzzled, “Who are Xu the Third and Fourth?”

Wu Tiejun, however, ignored him and quickly walked over, but did not dare to call out casually.

Because these two are currently lifting a stone weighing tens of thousands of pounds, unlike Dong Xiaoyan, they couldn’t afford to be distracted, lest they make a mistake.

Only when the two men steadily put down the stone did Wu Tiejun call out, “Xu the Third!”

Although he was transmitting his voice, Wu Tiejun had his own considerations. He only called one person’s name, which could effectively prevent anyone with ulterior motives from speculating.

Wu Tiejun knew himself, his current cultivation was quite unsatisfactory, his voice transmission could easily be intercepted by those with slightly higher cultivation – there was hardly a difference from shouting out loud.

Sure enough, for example, Dong Xiaoyan above, did not conceal her curiosity, and turned her head towards the sound.

She definitely wanted to know who was transmitting the sound in such a clumsy way. It was indeed rare to see.

Without really trying, she unintentionally intercepted the message and almost deafened herself.

Xu the Third quickly turned his head, only to see Wu Tiejun in full armour, nodding at him.

“Oh boy, it’s Lord Wu.”

A grimace crossed Xu the Third’s face.

Darn it, how did we get discovered by him? We’re not going to be pressed about Physician Feng’s whereabouts, are we?

He’s a stubborn one.

What if we’re pressed for information… what do we do then?

Doctor Feng definitely doesn’t want to be found after leaving, and Wu Tiejun is so stubborn, he’s sure to make things difficult for us.

The brothers’ hearts were filled with despair.

But there was nothing they could do since they had been found, they summoned their younger brother and walked down with a long face.

In fact, given the brothers’ current cultivation and integrated foundation, they wouldn’t be able to defeat Wu Tiejun even with their combined move, but wrestling with him would be no pressure.

Impacted by their past understanding of Wu, in addition to his official authority, the two brothers feel innately fearful.

Wu Tiejun appeared very enthusiastic, waving his hands repeatedly, “This is not a good place to talk. Come, follow me to the camp, let’s celebrate our reunion with a few drinks.”

The brothers’ hearts were beating even harder: Oh man, he’s going to take us to the military camp for questioning!

What drinks? It could very well be torture, pressuring us!

He’s a total devil.

Looking at the officials from Yuezhou who came along, the two brothers made their last stand, “Sir, we shed blood for the reconstruction of Yuezhou… ”

Wu Tiejun roared with laughter, stepped forward and put an arm around each brother’s shoulder, laughing heartily, “Where is your mind going? You’re not making sense. Come, let’s go, hurry up!”

He forcefully held the brothers and turned around without a word.

All you could hear was Xu the Third begging continuously, “Lord Wu, we have no past grudges, no recent quarrels. We don’t mingle, we brothers have never offended you…”

The official from Yuezhou was taken aback by this.

From Xu the Third’s words, it did not seem like a pretense, could it be that Wu Tiejun was planning a personal vendetta?

That won’t work!

These people made significant contributions to Yuezhou.

Just as Xu the Third said, they shed blood for the reconstruction of Yuezhou, even if you, Wu Tiejun, hold high authority, even if these two brothers made mistakes in the past, they should still be treated leniently.

But considering his low status and influence, he doubted he could stop this directly. He decided to report to the city lord: “Lord of the city, you must stand up for those two brothers…”

The city lord was shocked when he heard it. Unbelievable?

Wu Tiejun was taking away the folk who had been working hard for two months without regard for him? He didn’t give him any face at all?

“Prepare my horse!”

So… The city lord spurred his horse and personally rushed to the military camp to demand an explanation.

In the city lord’s view, Wu Tiejun was always fair and just.

If he had arrested the Xu brothers, it must mean that they had done something wrong.

But even if the Xu brothers had made a mistake, he should still argue for a lighter punishment!

Dong Xiaoyan, who had just finished her assignment on the platform, turned around to find that the two brothers were missing. She had wanted to chat with them a bit, but they had disappeared.

This filled her with a bit of regret. After all, people with pure hearts were exceptionally rare, and she had encountered two of them at once this time.

Just as she was descending the platform, she accidentally overheard a few workers discussing.

“Ah, those two brothers were taken away by Grand Marshal Wu, forcibly taken away, I wonder what kind of torment they will be put through.”

“Don’t be so quick to judge, maybe those two have done something wrong? Yuezhou City is in a critical phase of reconstruction, strict punishments are necessary to deter others, there must be a reason!”

“Wow, what a big shot you are! If you had such a big problem, would you still have the leisure to work hard here? The Xu brothers aren’t just idly working, they truly put their heart and soul into it.”

“Yes, that makes sense… But why did Lord Wu take them away?”

“I don’t know, it’s a pity about those two simple and honest men…”

“You know, Grand Marshal Wu has a wicked vice marshal named Fei under him, who is extremely harsh. Virtually everyone under his hands ends up mentally breaking down from his obscenities. Let’s hope the Xu brothers haven’t fallen into his hands, otherwise, even minor crimes would be hard to bear.”

“Let’s just hope they have good fortune… Alas, why doesn’t Heaven often protect the good people?”

“Hehe…”

Dong Xiaoyan pricked up her ears and couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger.

“Those two good men were taken away? In peril? That cannot be allowed!”

Enraged, Dong Xiaoyan stormed towards the military camp.

These two men were good, two men who had pure hearts! How could they be bad people?

She couldn’t allow them to be tortured by corrupt officials!

Especially that infamous Fei. If she found his name in the Heavenly Judgment, she would get rid of him on her way!

Vice Marshal Fei, who was stalked out of nowhere, was in tears: I just have a foul mouth, I’m not a cruel executor… Is my reputation actually this bad?!

…

Wu Tiejun brought the Xu brothers to the military camp and ordered directly: “Bring out the wine, the fine wine and food!”

The soldiers of course followed the order without a hitch. When the marshal gives an order, it is followed to the letter.

The Xu brothers were confused: “???”

“Hehehe…”

Wu Tiejun laughed in satisfaction: “I haven’t seen you two in many days. Today, you look even better than before, and your cultivation has improved a lot. Congratulations.”

Xu the Third said with caution: “I won’t say a word!”

Xu the Fourth said resolutely: “Even if you kill us, we won’t say anything!”

Wu Tiejun burst into laughter: “Why would I kill you… I just want to treat you to some fine drinks and food.”

“Even fine wine and food won’t make us talk!” Xu the Third was ready to die.

“Not even a seduction from a beauty would make us talk!” Xu the Fourth’s spirits were high.

Wu Tiejun scratched his head, spread his hands: “What do you think I’m trying to get you to say? I’m telling you, I know much more than you two… Why would I need you to say anything? We’re just drinking, you guys, why…”

“Hehe, you must not fool us!” Xu the Third.

“Did you think we would willingly get drunk and reveal secrets?” Xu the Fourth.

“Do you think we have low IQs?!” Xu the Fourth got quite irritated.

“The two of us combined are more cunning than you alone!” Xu the Third.

“The two of us combined are wiser than you alone!” Xu the Fourth.

And the angrier they got, the more.

This Wu Tiejun actually takes us for fools.

“You damned officer!” Xu the Third.

“You damned officer!” Xu the Fourth.

Wu Tiejun was dumbfounded: “…”

What did I do to deserve being… treated like a damned officer?
