Zhang San, please behave yourself!
Chapter 587 - 546: Stopping Gao Junxian!

Chapter 587: Chapter 546: Stopping Gao Junxian!

At that moment, a troop of cavalry, all dressed in white, arrived from the east.

The leader, a fierce general clad in silver helmet and armor, rode a snow-white, jade-like steed and held a Horse Lance in his hand, swiftly advancing.

Before anyone could react, the leader’s lance struck the chest of the man who had just frowned at the mention of Gao Junxian, piercing through him, then with a flick of his lance, flung the man into a distant valley.

Moments later, a squelching sound of a body smashing into a pulp echoed from below the valley.

Needless to say, everyone knew this man was Gao Junxian, the famed general of Northern Qi, who was now leading his troops to evade the Sui Army by hiding in the grasslands after fleeing through the Jin River path.

Gao Junxian’s gaze coldly swept over the aristocrats from martial families who had just spoken.

At that moment, no one dared to speak, and many were so frightened that they lowered their heads.

Clearly, the outspoken person just now didn’t have a strong Protector behind him.

Or perhaps, that Protector knew that going against Gao Junxian would mean certain death.

Just as Gao Junxian was about to turn his horse around to leave, saddened and angry over his comrade’s death, one of the young masters from the martial aristocratic families didn’t dare to vent his anger on Gao Junxian, but directed it all towards Zhang San.

After all, Zhang San was from the Town Martial Office, and to offend the Town Martial Office at such a time was seen as a very courageous act by these young masters.

"Zhang San! You are both the Military Chief of the Town Martial Office and my Great Sui’s General Ningyuan! Why did you ignore the murder committed by Gao Junxian just now?"

Zhang San was stunned.

You didn’t dare to peep when Gao Junxian made his move just now, your head was almost tucked into your pants.

Now that he just turned his horse around and hasn’t even walked a few steps, you come to provoke me?

Zhang San pretended to be unaware of anything and asked, "What happened? Did something happen just now?"

Hearing Zhang San’s words made the other party even angrier, "Just now Gao Junxian killed a man, did you not see it?"

Zhang San softly oh’d, glanced at Gao Junxian’s retreating figure, and called out sternly, "Stop!"

Seeing Zhang San’s action, the young master who had just provoked Zhang San was also startled.

This Zhang San wouldn’t really be looking for trouble with Gao Junxian, which might provoke Gao Junxian to go on a killing spree here, would he?

At this moment, many were terrified to see Gao Junxian turning his horse back around.

They didn’t care if Gao Junxian killed Zhang San, but they were afraid that Gao Junxian might also slaughter them in passing.

Even then, many Protectors who were originally behind started moving forward slowly, fearing their young masters might get hurt.

"What is it?"

Gao Junxian cast a cold glance at Zhang San.

Zhang San first bowed to Gao Junxian, then asked, "Are you Gao Junxian? Did you just kill a man?"

Gao Junxian thought Zhang San was going to say something substantial, but didn’t expect such an irrelevant comment.

"I did. So what?"

"Sorry, I didn’t see you kill anyone. Could you, perhaps, do it again?"

As he spoke, Zhang San glanced at the man who had just been keen to provoke him.

Gao Junxian laughed, having never met such an interesting person before.

Then, Gao Junxian raised his hand and pointed a finger at the man.

In an instant, Qi Gang formed at the tip of Gao Junxian’s finger, transforming into a spear light, and with a bang, it shattered the target’s skull.

The Protectors in the back, intending to rush forward to protect their young masters, were still unable to take a step forward when their young master’s head burst like a rotten watermelon dropped on the ground.

"Killed. What now?"

Gao Junxian looked at Zhang San again, curious about what he would say next.

Gao Junxian felt that whatever Zhang San was about to say would be highly unexpected, thus he was somewhat excited.

Zhang San spoke righteously, "Gao Junxian, you kill people, and this time I saw it with my own eyes."

"Gao Junxian, I warn you, although we are currently outside the borders of the Great Sui, I have no authority to enforce the law! Besides, as a General of the Great Sui, Ningyuan, I haven’t received orders to deal with you, but I must still say: killing at will is not right."

Gao Junxian knew that the young man’s words would be unexpected.

Although someone provoked him, and he used his own sword to kill the foul-mouthed person, this sneaky style was something he could never learn in his lifetime, yet it felt strangely satisfying.

At that moment, Gao Junxian couldn’t help but think of his time in Northern Qi, where he had always been overlooked.

It was only after Northern Qi was destroyed, and he persevered with his men, that more people noticed his previously unknown strength and capabilities. If only he had known back then to leverage powers and strike unexpectedly like this young man, he might have climbed to a higher position sooner and rewritten the history of Northern Qi.

"I understand, thanks for the reminder, young brother. May I ask how you are called?"

"Zhang San."

Gao Junxian laughed.

"This year, I have encountered two unforgettable young men. One appears honest and loyal on the battlefield, yet he is actually meticulous and extremely ruthless."

"The other looks deceitful, yet his deceit is so blatant."

"Interesting! Very interesting!"

Just then, a troop was approaching from the south.

Two large flags fluttered in the wind.

One flag bore the character "Wang," clearly indicating that the commander of this troop was surnamed Wang.

The other flag bore the word "Huanzhou," clearly it was the Huanzhou Army.

"How has the Huanzhou Army arrived so quickly?"

"I know, this is the famously renowned Vanguard Wang from the recent events in Jin River! It is said that this man rose from being a low-ranking soldier to his current position in the battle against Northern Qi and was even adopted as a righteous son by the veteran General Yuchi An!"

"I have also heard that this man is unmatched in bravery and strategy! It is said that he played a half role in defeating Northern Qi!"

As the Huanzhou Army’s flags waved in the wind, Gao Junxian looked into the distance at the flags.

No matter how he looked, he felt displeased.

Just a few days ago, he was still part of the Huanzhou Army.

Now encountering the Huanzhou Army again, he found them to be his enemies.

Many people eagerly watched the Huanzhou Army, and quite a few were whispering among themselves about how prestigious it would be to forge a relationship with the young and accomplished General Wang.

At that moment, the Huanzhou Army also noticed the Northern Qi Army but did not slow down, continuing to advance.

Even the commander, General Wang, alone on his horse, came forward, heading directly toward Gao Junxian.

Everyone looked at Gao Junxian, curious if the encounter between these two old enemies would lead to an intense battle.

However, to everyone’s surprise, when General Wang’s horse neared, he stopped but did not even glance at Gao Junxian; instead, he dismounted and knelt on one knee before a handsome young man standing beside him.

"Brother San!"

Zhang San hadn’t expected that the famous General Wang who had made a name for himself in Jin River was none other than Big Head Wang.

"Fifth, not bad! It hasn’t been long since we last met, and you have done quite well for yourself!"
