*****************************

"Brother Zhang is worried about this matter? If you ask me, a soldier who doesn’t want to be a general isn’t a good soldier. Brother Zhang thinks this way, and obviously others do too. So why not fight for your own interests? If you surrender, you’ll get nothing, won’t all the effort be wasted then?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"The Marshal has quite a hold on things. Although we have some strength, we can’t compare to the Marshal. If we fail, I’m afraid we’ll face annihilation." Zhang Ji hesitated.

Shao Guan fell silent.

Zhang Ji glanced at Shao Guan and suddenly asked, "Xiaoguan, speak freely, Brother knows you have good ideas. If it weren’t for you before, your sister-in-law might have been in trouble. We’re like family, so don’t hold back, speak up."

"Brother, then I’ll say it. You know I’ve been traveling around, and the reason you and the other brothers don’t dare confront the Marshal is because he has many new weapons, right? I heard the Marshal went against everyone’s opinion and spent a lot to buy them from abroad last year."

"Exactly, exactly, Xiaoguan knows me well."

Shao Guan laughed, "If it’s about that, I have an idea. Brother, do you know the recent movements over in Hua City?"

Zhang Ji suddenly grew curious, Hua City? What could be happening in Hua City? That place generally resists outsiders coming in.

"Brother, there’s an armaments expert in Hua City whose weapons are supplied to the gangs there; you know about this, right?"

"I know that person is despicable. Previously, I spent a lot trying to buy him off so Hua City would have no weapons source, yet he refused. We can’t capture him either; it’s really frustrating."

"Brother, when I visited Hua City, I found out that Hua City has developed a new weapon that is incredibly powerful."

"Oh, what weapon is it?"

"A small but highly powerful bomb."

"If we bought those, do you think the Marshal’s new weapons would still be useful?"

Zhang Ji was clearly tempted; bombs were something they hardly had.

However, he still had many things to consider, and Shao Guan didn’t say much more to avoid raising suspicion. But he subtly smiled.

After the celebration, the Young Marshal visited some people’s homes, then the Chun City army underwent significant changes, marginalizing many influential figures.

Among them were those who previously obstructed the Young Marshal.

Zhang Ji knew he had to make a choice.

In a few days, it would be his turn too.

Zhang Ji secretly discussed matters with a few old brothers.

Later, Zhang Ji found Shao Guan to help him purchase weapons from Hua City.

Shao Guan gladly agreed.

Not disappointing Zhang Ji, Shao Guan returned with good news.

They bought them.

Zhang Ji was overjoyed.

The military camp rotated its defenses, and Zhang Ji returned home, but he didn’t enter the house.

It was a gloomy day with sporadic rain, the sky turning dark, and the streets were deserted.

At this time, a group headed towards the Chun City Marshal’s mansion.

Qian Dingguo enjoyed a couple of days of success, everything seemed beautiful.

Robbed of dignity before, now he’s in charge; the feeling is incomparable.

Besides, he considered himself no worse than Qian Feng. Why could his father do well, but not him? He refused to believe it; after all, he studied abroad and could do better.

The father and son and the family women were having dinner while outside thunder rumbled and the sky was fully dark.

After dinner, Qian Dingguo drove out to have fun.

Unbeknownst to him, going out saved his life.

Zhang Ji and his men waited near the mansion once everyone was gathered.

This season, the rain was quite cold on the skin.

Yet no one moved until two a.m., when Zhang Ji suddenly signaled, and in the next moment, dozens of hands opened tightly clenched fists.

In their palms lay a bomb.

Zhang Ji pointed towards the mansion, and they quietly moved closer.

Suddenly, bright lights illuminated near the mansion; the tall tower nearby sent strong beams down on Zhang Ji and his men.

Qian Feng casually walked out, seeing Zhang Ji and the others, with a cold smile on his face.

"I thought I was being paranoid, but you really came. You sure chose the right time. However, you’ve betrayed my trust, don’t blame me for what follows."

Then, on the tower and atop the mansion walls, many appeared holding new weapons, aimed at everyone in front of the mansion.

Zhang Ji felt somewhat tense; at this point, there was no turning back. How could they not fight?

The next moment, Zhang Ji threw his bomb towards the tower.

The people there saw something thrown, bewildered, perhaps scared, wondering what was tossed?

But they didn’t dare shoot without the Marshal’s orders.

Just then, the small bomb touched the tower’s ground, suddenly exploding with a booming noise, destroying the tower and all on it.

Meanwhile, someone tossed a bomb into the mansion, demolishing much of its walls.

Qian Feng, cherishing his life, quickly hid within the mansion.

Yet, he failed to reach the prepared escape route, as small bombs were thrown one after another.

The mansion was in ruins, the silent night suddenly disrupted.

Screams and explosions awakened many, but they didn’t dare watch.

Quickly, the mansion was under control.

Zhang Ji entered with a smile.

"Marshal, you weren’t paranoid. Don’t blame us, but blame your useless son. Yet you plan to hand Chun City’s army to him? Have you considered us?"

"We’ve poured our blood and sweat into Chun City’s army, and now it’s handed to a kid. We’re accountable to the army."

"Where did you get these weapons? You dare do this to me."

"Marshal, no point in discussing this now."

"Brother Zhang, haven’t seen that Qian Dingguo kid."

Zhang Ji’s face changed; doing this today means eliminating threats. If Qian Dingguo escaped...
