Chapter 1040: Chapter 707: Instigating, Disintegrating the Internal Structure of Tianfeng City_2

But this did not spark a larger conflict, which did not align with their plans.

"Let’s repeat our old tricks and continue to stir up conflict between the two Great Generals, but this time, we need to switch roles."

Ping Xiao laughed heartily, believing that with General Shan’s character, he would certainly not tolerate such rumors.

This time Ping Xiao went even further, actually sending people to spread rumors directly at General Shan’s Mansion.

"Isn’t General Shan a bit too cowardly and afraid of trouble, I’ve heard he even reported to the City Lord about General Shui, although the City Lord hasn’t summoned General Shan, it’s obvious he’s scared."

"Humph! That’s not being scared, I think it’s guilty conscience, they must have some cooperation with the Free Heaven Country, that’s why they dare not trouble General Shui."

As soon as these words were said, a Deputy General came out from the door, scolding these two: "What nonsense are you spouting? If you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll have you seized and executed today!"

The two of them turned and ran, not looking back, but the news clearly reached General Shan’s ears.

"This must be General Shui’s doing, if it weren’t for his scheme, how could I end up like this? I say he’s definitely in collusion with the Free Heaven Country trying to unseat me!"

General Shan trembled with anger.

The Deputy General beside him tried to calm General Shan: "General, you must stay calm, maybe this is the plan of the Free Heaven Country."

"How could it be the plan of the Free Heaven Country?"

General Shan said furiously: "That General Shui even reported me to the City Lord, if it weren’t for someone familiar with me over there, I fear I’d really be suspected by the City Lord!"

The Deputy General still tried to restrain General Shan’s impulsive actions: "However, now is a tumultuous time, if you go to trouble General Shui, it might cause criticism, it’s not a good choice."

"The last time he came to me, why can’t I go to him this time, I really want to see what kind of capital he has to dare challenge me!"

With that said, General Shan actually charged out with a Long Spear, while on the other side, General Shui had already dispatched people to monitor General Shan’s movements.

General Shui laughed heartily, holding a long sword in his hand.

The Deputy General beside him expressed concern: "General, you must think clearly, no matter what, General Shan’s strength is extraordinary, if this time really..."

"Afraid of what, the goal is to provoke him to anger, it would be best if he seriously injures me!"

General Shui had already made up his mind without any hesitation, standing in front of the General’s Mansion.

When he saw General Shan approaching, General Shui said slowly: "What does this mean, General Shan, coming to trouble me?"

"Humph! Last time you came to my mansion, so this time can’t I come to yours?"

General Shui laughed: "Our situations seem to have changed, but unlike last time, I’m here for personal matters, while you’re here for public matters, do you think that’s really right?"

General Shui’s long sword rested on the ground, showing no fear of General Shan.

Seeing that General Shui had no intention of backing down, General Shan frowned: "I don’t care whether it’s public or private, daring to secretly slander me is a huge matter!"

"General Shan, don’t talk nonsense, when have I sent someone to slander you, are you not more aware of what you’ve done than anyone? Why did the people of the Free Heaven Country flee without looking back upon seeing you?"

General Shui’s words exploded like thunder throughout the city.

Whether military personnel or ordinary citizens, they all knew this news by now.

Unintentionally, General Shui’s words revealed the hidden secret.

And this sentence stirred up unease throughout Tianfeng City.

Everyone focused their attention on General Shui and General Shan, making General Shan furious.

"You’re spouting nonsense, today I’ll make you die!"

Saying that, the Long Spear in his hand struck directly at General Shui, who also defended with full force.

The two fought dozens of rounds, with both suffering injuries, while at this moment, General Shui’s subordinates without hesitation rushed to confront as well.

With the help of two Deputy Generals, General Shan fell into a disadvantage, retreating repeatedly under the blows.

General Shan roared: "How dare you, to strike against this General!"

The two Deputy Generals remained expressionless: "Sorry, General Shan, but General Shui is our Main General, seeing our master being bullied, if we as subordinates don’t step in to help, how could we live up to our status!"

"You...." General Shan flew into a rage, yelling at his two Deputy Generals: "Get on, why are you standing there?"

The two Deputy Generals had no intention of stepping up, as General Shan had instigated this, and he had no justification.

Just like General Shui said, generally speaking, this time General Shan came for public business.

General Shan came to trouble General Shui for public business, even if the matter went to the City Lord, he wouldn’t have any advantage.

"If you won’t, I will!"

General Shan charged again, bravely unyielding.

Brandishing his Long Spear, for a time, the three of them couldn’t gain any advantage.

The battle raged for dozens more rounds, with both sides sustaining injuries before General Shan finally retreated.

"General Shan, today’s incident I will report to the City Lord truthfully, I hope you take care of yourself."

After a cold snort from General Shui, he closed the gates of his mansion.

General Shan let out an angry roar, unsure how to vent the anger and grievances in his heart.

"What?"

The Lord of Tianfeng City was furious when he heard the news, never expecting General Shan to trouble General Shui for such a trivial matter, it was like bringing trouble upon himself.

After summoning General Shan, the Lord of Tianfeng City said angrily: "Do you know that what you did creates trouble for me, last time I shielded you, this time I sided with you, and you just go to trouble General Shui over some rumors. How am I supposed to explain this?"

"I’m sorry City Lord, I realize my mistake!"

At this moment, General Shan finally understood, feeling cold sweat pouring out, also realizing how much trouble he had brought to the Lord of Tianfeng City.

The Lord of Tianfeng City snorted coldly: "This is the last time, if there’s a next time, don’t blame me for being unkind!"

Although General Shan knew the Lord of Tianfeng City helped him this time, he knew there would be no next time, otherwise, great problems would arise.

On the other side, although General Shui was injured, he intentionally had his subordinates bandage him more seriously.

"Why is the General doing this, isn’t this a bit too exaggerated?"

Seeing General Shui’s bandaged injuries, his subordinates looked on with strange expressions.

"If it’s not exaggerated, how can I garner sympathy?"

General Shui smiled faintly: "Send someone to inform General Lin that I want to have a drink with him tonight."

The Deputy General didn’t ask further, directly heading to General Lin’s Mansion.

"General Shui wants to invite me for a drink?"

General Lin was a bit surprised, as among the Eight Great Generals, General Shui was considered the most uncommunicative. Today’s unprompted invitation for a drink naturally aroused suspicion.

General Shui’s Deputy General explained: "The General was injured today and seems to be somewhat unhappy, so he wants to have a drink with you."

General Lin suddenly understood, having heard about the duel between the two today.

Today’s General Shui showed great ferocity, probably due to accumulated grievances wanting to be expressed.

"Alright, I’ll make the preparations and head over soon."

General Lin didn’t doubt much, even preparing some elixirs as gifts.

Taking these items, General Lin arrived at General Shui’s Mansion with two Deputy Generals.

Seeing General Shui covered in injuries, bandages wrapped tightly even on his head, made General Lin rather shocked.
