Chapter 768 - 768 264 Wish Granted Two in One

Chapter 768: Chapter 264: Wish Granted [Two in One] Chapter 768: Chapter 264: Wish Granted [Two in One] You must know, following the battle last time, the army had gone through a major bloodletting.

The surviving soldiers, if not hardened through trials and tribulations, were at least loyal and trustworthy.

Each of them had rolled in the battlefield and risked their lives in the perils of life and death!

They had lost countless military elites for the sake of their brothers-in-arms!

And this mole in the military had made countless contributions through numerous battles.

Not only did he have a wife and children in Yuezhou City, but also, nobody could have suspected, or even comprehend why it could be him.

His martial prowess was merely human-level, serving as the leader of a thousand-man battalion, at the rank of a third-level Lieutenant. Known for his honesty and strict conduct, he was reassigned to Yuezhou’s military supplies department by Wu Tiejun after the last major battle, bearing a heavy duty on his shoulders.

Wu Tiejun himself saw great promise in him and relied on him heavily, having him listed for promotion early on – to say he had a boundless future would not be an exaggeration.

But such a person rose in rebellion at this critical juncture to assassinate Wu Tiejun. He aimed his blade straight for Wu Tiejun’s heart with lethal intent.

Wu Tiejun was completely unprepared then – genuinely unprepared. Who could anticipate that the battalion leader, whom he had summoned on a whim to discuss military arrangements, would attempt to assassinate him at such a crucial moment?

To put it in a way outsiders wouldn’t understand: in that moment, Wu Tiejun had even forgotten the joy that finally someone had tried to assassinate him!

If Wu Yuan’s skills were not on the lower end and if Wu Tiejun hadn’t moved his body in response to his martial instincts, unconsciously retreating a bit, he would’ve died on the spot from a pierced heart.

The timing was too coincidental, too unexpected. Due to an abrupt uprising in the city, Wu Tiejun, fearing the military equipment stockpile and grain store, had specifically summoned a group of his trusted subordinates to discuss matters of defense.

Means he had called the person himself at this moment!

He summoned six people for instructions, and the one with the highest power turned out to be the assassin!

Wu Tiejun was seriously injured and couldn’t believe it, and at the moment when he was stabbed, he held onto the attacking dagger and asked, “Wu Yuan, is there something forcing you to do this?”

He insisted, “If there is something forcing you, I promise to protect your family, even though you are definitely going to die today!”

Even at this point, he still firmly believed that his brother was coerced into doing this as a last resort.

He uttered these two sentences extremely fast, without any interruptions, because his personal guards were already pointing their swords at Wu Yuan with eyes full of rage.

He knew, Wu Yuan definitely wouldn’t be able to survive!

There was no time left!

A hint of regret appeared in Wu Yuan’s eyes, he did not go for the kill, instead, he let go of the dagger in his hand. At the moment when the chaotic blades landed on him, his flesh and blood splattered everywhere.

A gush of black blood came out of his mouth.

With that, he fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, no longer breathing.

At the moment when his body hit the ground, it had been cruelly dismembered by enraged personal guards.

“Search!”

Watching Wu Tiejun lose consciousness, the leader of the protectors ordered angrily.

When they searched Wu Yuan’s home, they found that the whole family had already taken poison and died – not a single one survived!

And before Wu Tiejun fell unconscious, he struggled to leave his final words, “… If the children are innocent, don’t give them a hard time!”

This sentence, brought all the military officers at the scene to tears.

When Fei Xinyu heard about it, he angrily cursed, “This stubborn bastard! At such a time, he was worrying about unnecessary things!”

He shoved a pill from a miracle doctor into Wu Tiejun’s mouth, the highly skilled soldiers were carrying Wu Tiejun as they rushed towards the Good Heart General Store.

Everyone was used to spinning around the gates of hell. They could tell at a glance that Wu Tiejun’s wound had put him at the brink of death, and if treatment was delayed, then he would be beyond saving.

Although the pill was amazing, it had been a few days since the miracle doctor prepared it, and its efficacy may have significantly reduced. While it did help Wu Tiejun hang on to his life, it wasn’t going to last for long.

But on the way, the soldiers were confused–Commander Wu was evidently assassinated and he was on the brink of death. But why was there a strange expression mixed on his face?

This expression was quite suspicious. It was a bit like… relaxation? Relief? And even… eager anticipation, excitement?

We haven’t misjudged this, have we?

When they arrived at the doorstep of the Good Heart General Store, a group of soldiers started banging on the door while crying, “Doctor, please save our lives!”

Xu the Third opened the door bare-chested, his body still exuding the warmth from his bed, and goosebumps appeared on his skin due to the chilly wind,”What happened…Damn, Commander Wu…Quick, come in!”

As soon as he saw Wu Tiejun’s extremely pale face, Xu the Third almost fell, he hurriedly let them in.

But at this time, Feng Yin was on his way here.

Actually, the moment Wu Tiejun was assassinated, Feng Yin knew about it––A few ancient trees were planted in the army, and they quickly passed the message here the moment Wu Tiejun was assassinated, he had been waiting inside the secret room from early on.

“Put him down! Everyone leave!”

Still in the secret room, Feng Yin shouted in succession.

But the moment after Wu Tiejun was put down and the generals turned around, someone turned back a split second late and saw a person holding a shiny dagger slashing it onto the Great Marshal’s chest, blood gushing out instantly!

A voice of astonishment just started to rise but was dragged outside by his colleagues.

The soldiers were very clear that there may be quite a few people in this world who’d want to kill Wu Tiejun. But that definitely would not include the miracle doctor.
