Thus, when I fought him, the traitor was at his weakest and was killed by me.
Today, attacking and breaking through Fu City, the Martial Proclamation Marquis should be given the first credit.”
Lu Yuan acknowledged Yang Jing’s contribution.
This could be seen from the numerous injuries on his body.
Looking at Yang Jing in front of him, especially the several bloody wounds on his body, the pale face, and the somewhat decayed breath.
How could Lu Yuan not know that the Martial Proclamation Marquis’ claim of being seriously injured was true?
Even those injuries were more severe than those of his queen.
It makes sense.
Yang Jing faced Gui Lianyun at his peak state, and also when his fury was at its highest.
Under such circumstances, after the two fought, it would be strange if Yang Jing didn’t suffer heavy losses, wouldn’t it?
For such a hero who had made great sacrifices and finally helped him kill Gui Lianyun, Lu Yuan naturally respected and appreciated him.
The more advanced cannon fodders like this, the better for his side. Anyway, they are not his own people, so he doesn’t feel heartache if they get hurt or die.
Even if they made contributions and were given the first credit, how to reward them would be a headache for the court.
Don’t forget that the commander of the United Army of the Four Nations this time was Marquis of Wuan Bai Mengyang.
When Lu Yuan sent the war report, it was Bai Mengyang and the court who had to give rewards to Yang Jing as the first credit.
Since the wool doesn’t come from his own body, he can freely write checks as the one who pays in the end is not him.
In this regard, Lu Yuan, who had already received benefits, was still very generous in saving face.
Hearing Lu Yuan’s words, Yang Jing quickly shook his head. He glanced at the other party with a bit of envy and awe, and finally couldn’t help but bitterly smile: “How can I, in my humble position, dare to claim to be the first?
This time, Your Majesty killed Gui Lianyun in battle. Your martial arts are remarkable and among the best in the world. Such credit can be called the first.
I only fought with Gui Lianyun once and was defeated and retreated. I really don’t dare to take credit for it.”
Yang Jing was sincere when he said this.
This was the beheading of an Inborn in an army of thousands!
In recent years, the only person with such a record was Li Xiong when he led the army against Jinghai Country and killed the Grandmaster of the country in an army of thousands.
Besides that, looking around, there was no such record in the neighboring countries over the past ten years or so.
Now, such a record that could be praised by the world has been achieved by Lu Yuan.
Yang Jing didn’t need to think much to know that after this battle, Lu Yuan’s name would surely spread throughout the tens of countries in Yang-Yong-Qing States.
Facing such a great achievement, even if he had ten faces, he couldn’t have the nerve to obscure the first credit.
Moreover, Lu Yuan said that it was because of the weakening of Gui Lianyun by himself and Lan Cai’er that he was extremely weak and was killed by him by chance.
But at this moment, Yang Jing asked himself that even if he faced Gui Lianyun who had fought two battles in a row and had lost his strength, he still didn’t have much confidence in killing him.
It could even be said that he had no confidence at all.
He had fought with Gui Lianyun and knew his true strength.
He was absolutely one of the top experts in the first realm of Inborn.
Even though such an expert had lost his strength, couldn’t he escape if he couldn’t beat Lu Yuan?
Just like when he fought with Gui Lianyun earlier, although he couldn’t beat him, he could still retreat from Gui Lianyun’s hands unscathed.
It’s not that easy to keep an Inborn Grandmaster under normal circumstances.
However, Lu Yuan was able to do this, and from this perspective.
‘This King of Changsha must still be hiding some means to kill Inborn. It seems that we underestimated him earlier. As for the Changsha Kingdom, we need to carefully plan our tactics.’
With such thoughts in his heart, Yang Jing’s inadvertent glance at Lu Yuan became even more profound and solemn.
Not only him.
Even Lan Cai’er, who was listening to the conversation between the two at this moment, looked at her husband with a strange color in her eyes.
Unlike Yang Jing, Lan Cai’er once had the record of killing Inborn Grandmasters as well.
Wucheng Marquis Li Gui, the original Dongting County Magistrate, was killed by her and Li Xiong.
But for that killing of Li Gui, the two used ambush tactics.
Under the condition that Li Gui was completely unguarded, Lan Cai’er first used the poison insects carefully cultivated by the Poison Sect to launch a surprise attack and severely injured him.
Then she and Li Xiong joined forces with many first-class subordinates, and after paying a heavy price, they barely killed Li Gui.
However, even so, both she and Li Xiong were heavily injured, unable to fight for one or two years, and had to stay in their old nest to recuperate.
But now Lu Yuan.
He killed Gui Lianyun, who was stronger than Li Gui, and did so alone. Even after killing him, he didn’t have any injuries.
With such achievements and strength, how could one not think deeply about it?
‘It seems that there are still many things my husband is hiding from me, and my understanding of him is ultimately insufficient.’
Lan Cai’er thought to herself, feeling a little unhappy.
However, being an intelligent woman, she did not intend to ask directly.
Even if she asked, her husband might not answer. Even if he did, the answer might not be the truth.
On the contrary, it can be confirmed that such behavior will definitely cause a rift between their hearts and damage the hard-won affection they have now.
So after thinking about it, Lan Cai’er still decided to observe and understand her husband’s secrets slowly in the future.
In any case, she didn’t believe it.
In the future, as they live day and night together, sharing a bed, how could she not find out her husband’s secrets?
Maybe she wouldn’t even have to actively look for it. After the wedding, when she consummated her marriage and became a real husband and wife, her husband might voluntarily tell her his secrets.
Men, after all, always think about trivial matters.
As long as they are comfortable and happy, it’s not difficult to know anything.
Lan Cai’er was confident in her charm.
No matter her looks, strength, or status, she was all among the best in the world, or even unmatched.
Is there really any man who can resist a stunning beauty with both status and temperament, who personally tries to seduce them?
Lan Cai’er looked at Lu Yuan next to her, and no matter how she looked at it, her husband didn’t seem to be the kind of person who could resist the allure of beauty.
‘Well, let’s do it this way!’
She smiled faintly, as if to see the scene of Lu Yuan falling under her pomegranate skirt in the future.
I may not be able to beat you in reality, but in marital fun, I don’t believe that you won’t be a captive of mine.
It’s still what dad said.
As long as she wins over Lu Yuan, everything he possesses today will belong to her child in the future.
The harder he works and the bigger Changsha gets, the more her child will inherit in the future.
‘So for the future child, in this Northern Expedition, Mom will work harder to fight for more future for you.’
Lan Cai’er rubbed her flat belly and began to look forward to the future.
That’s the light!
