Zhang San, please behave yourself!
Chapter 589 - 548: You are the herb of my Great Sui!

Chapter 589: Chapter 548: You are the herb of my Great Sui!

Gao Junxian listened to Zhang San’s words, but felt something was off.

However, he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what felt strange.

It was all because of his martial granduncle. He wondered why he had to choose someone much younger than himself, like Zhang San and Wang Junwu, as sworn brothers.

After some simple discussions, everyone reached an agreement.

At least until the end of this Secret Realm grab, the Great Sui would not attack Gao Junxian and the Northern Qi Army.

Similarly, the Northern Qi couldn’t look for trouble with the Great Sui.

Moreover, Wang Junwu, worried that the Northern Qi Army might not have enough to eat, even sent over good wine and meat.

This surprised Lv Chunyang somewhat.

"Actually, I was a bit worried at first that Fifth might not agree. I never expected that not only did he agree, but he even sent food to the Northern Qi Army,"

Lv Chunyang admired Wang Junwu’s magnanimity.

Zhang San, roasting a leg of lamb, sighed and said in a low voice, "Why are you so naive?"

"What?" Lv Chunyang looked puzzled.

Zhang San glanced at the figure of Wang Junwu sending things to the Northern Qi Army and began to analyze for Lv Chunyang.

"Firstly, Wang Junwu was originally ordered to scout the movements of the Northern Qi Army, not to attack them. Since he couldn’t defeat Gao Junxian, it was never a fight to the death situation, especially given the current scenario, there is no need for conflict."

"Secondly, you might think Wang Junwu bears no grudges, but actually, he is seizing this opportunity to curry favor with the people around Gao Junxian. Don’t forget, now Gao Junxian and his Northern Qi Army can only stand their ground on this vast prairie, they have nothing, and many will surely flee back south in the future."

"When that time comes, those who flee will either become bandits or rejoin the military. Right now, it might look like Wang Junwu is giving face to Gao Junxian by sending gifts, but actually he is buying those people over, letting them know Wang Junwu bears them no ill will. Who will they seek out after they flee?"

"After gathering the deserters from the Northern Qi Army, Wang Junwu can not only get intelligence on the Northern Qi Army but having more of the original Northern Qi Army under his command is useful both for standing his ground on Jin River and dealing with the Northern Qi Army on the prairie."

Lv Chunyang took a deep breath and stared wide-eyed at the distant figure of Wang Junwu.

He had never imagined there would be so many twists and turns involved.

Indeed, human hearts are complex.

Just then, a distant rumbling of horse hooves echoed.

Zhang San immediately recognized that the sound was coming from the southeast.

Many people also quickly stood up and looked towards the southeast.

Though the Tujue were all in the north, who knew if they would suddenly send a cavalry from behind to encircle and strike at the younger generation of the Great Sui before the Secret Realm opened.

After all, such a rare opportunity, if used to kill all the young people who had come here, would cripple a third of the young talents of the entire north of Great Sui.

Lv Chunyang seemed to see the worry on the faces around him and said to Zhang San in a low voice, "Don’t worry. My main purpose this time is to protect you from the slaughter by the Tujue elites, and likewise, the Tujue have certainly sent such people over, to prevent the massacre of the younger generation."

Zhang San nodded slightly and then whispered, "Don’t worry, it’s our own people."

Lv Chunyang couldn’t help but be curious, because the sound of the horse hooves was clear, but now that no one had seen who the arriving party was, how could Zhang San be so sure it was their own people.

Soon, as the distant dust gradually approached, someone began to shout in surprise.

"What is that? Is that a person?"

"Nonsense! It’s clearly a horse!"

"A half-human zebra? Is it from the Demon Clan?"

As soon as they heard that the newcomer might be from the Demon Clan, many youths who had come here seeking entry into the Secret Realm couldn’t help but panic.

However, once the Lingwu Army saw who was approaching from a distance, they immediately relaxed their guard, and many went back to continue eating.

Seeing this scene, although everyone didn’t know what exactly was going on, it seemed there was no danger.

So, the newcomer quickly rushed up the hilltop.

At this moment, Zhang San also walked out from the crowd and spread his arms towards Ying Zhao and the others ahead.

The Prince Ying Jun who was at the forefront immediately ran over and embraced Zhang San warmly.

"You guys have finally arrived, I have been waiting here for you for a long time."

Prince Ying Jun laughed and said, "After we felt the energy of the Secret Realm, we arranged things in our tribe and came right over."

"Come! Let’s drink!"

Seeing Zhang San actually embracing the Centaur Prince and chatting and laughing with him, the onlookers who were enjoying the scene were stunned.

Zhang San turned his head, noticed the panicked expressions on many faces, and explained with a smile, "Come! Let me introduce you all. This, is the Prince of the Ying Zhao clan, named Ying Jun!"

After Zhang San finished speaking, he noticed that everyone was still staring at him in shock, showing no normal reaction, so he raised his hand and made a gesture.

Wang Junwu understood and was the first to start applauding.

As someone began to clap, others quickly followed suit.

Knowing that many of the human race were unfriendly towards him, Prince Ying Jun had no intention of talking to others upon arriving.

But he never expected that Zhang San would take the initiative to introduce him, and he couldn’t help but feel touched.

"The Ying Zhao clan was originally one of the Demon Clans of Longyou Road, but wishing to avoid conflict with our human race, they left Longyou Road and moved to the grasslands. Now, the Ying Zhao clan and Great Sui are allies, as well as close friends! Everyone, when you meet members of the Ying Zhao clan, you must treat them politely, understand?"

Zhang San said this, glanced towards Changsun Bubai nearby, then added, "The alliance between the Ying Zhao clan and Great Sui has been approved by Kaihuang. So, if any of you dares to harbor any ideas against the Ying Zhao clan... not to mention whether the Ying Zhao clan will retaliate, just the Town Martial Office and soldiers of Great Sui alone will not let you off! Understand?"

Hearing this, many were still dismissive.

What does your friendship with the Ying Zhao clan have to do with us?

Some even really wanted to take a few Female Ying Zhaos back to ride.

But hearing now that even Kaihuang had nodded to this matter, all the poses and colorful scraps that had just flashed through their minds were instantly dumped out.

And in the crowd, Prince Wang Ziyan now had a new appraisal of Zhang San.

This man not only had impressive sworn brothers, but he also knew the prince of the Demon Clan, and it seemed, the relationship was no ordinary one.

Apart from Zhang San’s strength, just his connections alone were a tremendous resource!

At this moment, Wang Ziyan made up his mind to definitely win Zhang San over to his side!
