Zhang San, please behave yourself!
Chapter 588 - 547: We, sworn brothers, can defeat you Gao Junxian by joining hands!

Chapter 588: Chapter 547: We, sworn brothers, can defeat you Gao Junxian by joining hands!

Everyone who saw this scene was shocked.

"Is this guy also one of Zhang San’s sworn brothers!?"

At this moment, Wang Ziyan not far away was dumbfounded.

Who exactly did Wang Ziteng take an oath of brotherhood with?

Brother San Zhang San was not only the Military Chief of the Town Martial Office but also General Ningyuan of the Great Sui’s Lingwu Army, and he even had good relations with two Tujue Khans. In the future, he was bound to be a prominent figure within the Frontier Army, with unlimited prospects.

Fifth Wang Junwu, the newly risen General Star of the Jin River Road, the adopted son of the veteran general Yuchi An, and the first hero of the battle to annihilate the Northern Qi!

Then, another figure came running over, his face filled with shock, and said, "Brother San? Brother San! You are also his Brother San?"

Zhang San looked up to see that it was Changsun Wudiao who had come running over.

"Didn’t you go to the Jin River Road? How come you’re back?"

Changsun Wudiao gave a cheeky smile and said, "I went to temper myself, and now I’m following Brother Wang chasing the remnants of the Northern Qi..."

Before Changsun Wudiao could finish, he noticed Gao Junxian sitting on his horse not far away, looking at the three of them with a cold face, and immediately shut his mouth.

At that moment, Changsun Bubai, along with Changsun Wuji and Changsun Wugen, came walking over, partly to welcome Changsun Wudiao and partly to prevent Gao Junxian from acting rashly.

Gao Junxian looked at Zhang San and asked, "You are Wang Junwu’s sworn Brother San?"

Zhang San smiled at Gao Junxian and said, "Precisely."

Gao Junxian glanced at Wang Junwu next to him, then back at Zhang San, and said, "Wang Junwu is a General Star of this era, a military genius whom I cannot surpass. However, if we talk about personal combat power, having entered the Purple Mansion Realm, dealing with someone who has just entered the Spiritual Platform Realm would naturally be bullying."

"Originally, when I battled him at the border, I had an agreement with Wang Junwu. On the day Wang Junwu enters the Purple Mansion Realm, he and I must have a battle."

Zhang San couldn’t help but wonder, if you want to challenge Wang Junwu, just challenge him; why are you telling me this?

Then, Gao Junxian continued, "Back then, Wang Junwu said it was a pity that his Brother San wasn’t there. If his Brother San were present, they could join forces to defeat me. Today is the perfect opportunity!"

Zhang San immediately glanced at Big Head Wang beside him, who gave an awkward smile.

At that time, it was also a battle between two armies. Wang Junwu relied on the advantage of military strength to successfully drive back the Northern Qi Army. Gao Junxian, relying on his powerful personal martial prowess, managed to stop their large forces. Although Wang Junwu knew that even ten of himself and ten Zhang Sans couldn’t beat Gao Junxian, since he had already spoken to that extent, it would be too embarrassing not to brag a bit more.

Moreover, Wang Junwu thought that after driving out Gao Junxian beyond the Great Sui’s borders, he would just guard the area for a while before returning. He was afraid it would be difficult to encounter Gao Junxian again in the future.

But who could have imagined that not only would he encounter Gao Junxian here but also Zhang San?

Zhang San gave a cheeky smile to Gao Junxian and explained, "You heard wrong. Back then, my fifth brother definitely said that by joining hands with all our sworn brothers, we could defeat you! When we brothers act, we always help each other. How could it just be adding me alone?"

Gao Junxian scoffed and said, "So today, since not all your sworn brothers are gathered, you can’t meet the challenge, can you?"

Gao Junxian felt that he had already seen through Zhang San’s little trick.

Zhang San immediately waved his hand and said, "Speaking of which, although there were three of us taking the oath initially, there were actually five people in total. Besides our acknowledged Big Sister and the sixth brother who are in the Capital and not here, Fifth Brother Wang Junwu, and our mutual Fourth Brother are all here!"

Gao Junxian, listening to this strange order of brotherhood, was completely baffled.

Five people, with a Big Sister, a Third Brother, a Fourth Brother, along with a Fifth and a Sixth.

Why is there no Second?

And why, if you are the third-ranked, are you calling the fourth-ranked as Fourth Brother?

Zhang San said, "Today, my fourth brother has also arrived. How about this, the three of us brothers will spar with you, and if you can win, my fifth brother will immediately withdraw his people. We’ll consider it his loss. On the other hand, if we win, Gao Junxian, what will you do?"

"Hahaha..."

Zhang San’s words made Gao Junxian burst into laughter.

"Me, lose? Both of your brothers have only recently entered the Spiritual Platform Realm, and as I see it, you are still at the stage of Qi Filling the Majestic Sea. So, is this fourth brother of yours that impressive?"

As Gao Junxian’s smug words had just left his mouth, they saw a young-looking swordsman walk up from behind Zhang San and stand beside him.

And as the man took his place, Gao Junxian’s expression changed in an instant.

Even his entire demeanor shifted as he immediately dismounted from his horse and kneeled on one knee towards Lv Chunyang, who was now standing beside Zhang San, bowing respectfully with clasped hands as he greeted, "Greetings, Uncle-Master."

Lv Chunyang smiled slightly, looking at the shocked faces of Wang Junwu and Zhang San with a light smile.

"Little Gao, rise. Come over here and chat with your Uncle-Master and your other two uncles."

"Yes."

To the people of the Northern Qi Army, Gao Junxian was their last pride, but when facing his own Uncle-Master, it was still whatever the Uncle-Master said.

Zhang San’s eyes widened as he looked at Lv Chunyang and whispered, "Is he really your nephew?"

"Of course! My seniority is much higher."

Zhang San curled his lips, unsure whether Lv Chunyang’s words were true or not.

Then Lv Chunyang called Zhang San, Wang Junwu, and Gao Junxian aside for a private talk, and the others didn’t dare to eavesdrop, keeping their distance.

At this moment, none of those present dared to underestimate Zhang San.

What a joke, did you think he could only boast?

The newly promoted General Star of the Jin River region calls him Brother San!

Gao Junxian, the Northern Qi’s last hope, might even have to call Zhang San ’Uncle’!

At this moment, many started to cluster around Wang Ziyan, who seemingly had a good relationship with Zhang San, having even accepted eight beautiful women from him as gifts.

Although Wang Ziyan looked pleased on the surface, he was somewhat worried inwardly, wondering whether these people would become stumbling blocks in his path to surpass Wang Ziteng.

Lv Chunyang gathered the three men together and said in a low voice, "I know there is trouble between the Northern Qi and the Great Sui, and I’m aware that you, my nephew, have been driven to the grasslands, facing difficulties at every turn. But... we all are people of the Central Plains, all from the Huaxia lineage. In this Secret Realm, Tujue people cover the mountains to the north while we, at least, are our own people even if we battle it out to the south. My hope is that our internal strife can be resolved after we leave the Secret Realm. What do you say?"

"I’ll leave everything up to Uncle-Master’s decision."

"Don’t worry, Fourth Brother. My nephew is from the Purple Mansion Realm, and neither I nor Fifth dare to do anything to him."

Lv Chunyang nodded in approval, then added another reminder towards Gao Junxian.

"No matter what, we are our own people. Although I do not understand matters between nations, to me, the unification of the Central Plains seems inevitable. Think more on the future."

Zhang San also took the opportunity to add.

"Nephew, let me tell you something too," Zhang San said.

Gao Junxian glanced at Zhang San, but Zhang San pretended not to see and continued, "Although you have left the Great Sui and rooted yourself on the grasslands, there’s something you should know..."

"You’re not like the old grass that has grown on the Tujue side for years, the same as the other Tujue people; your ethnicity, your bloodline, they cannot be changed! Wherever you go, wherever you root yourself, you... will always be the new grass of our Great Sui!"
