Chapter 469: Regretting Not Swearing Brotherhood Back Then

Three Generals Camp.

Liu Er was reviewing military affairs, his brow furrowed.

He processed the last piece of military business, placed it on the corner of the table, and could not help but sigh long and hard.

After calling his subordinates to convey these orders, Liu Er lifted the tent flap, looked at the camp gate, then let the flap down, walked with his hands behind his back, and paced inside the tent.

"Why hasn't he returned yet?" Liu Er muttered.

Unlike Ning Zhuo had told Liu Er before leaving for Shuang Jing's banquet.

Because of this, Liu Er had been absent-minded since the morning.

It was not until a subordinate came to report that Unlike Ning Zhuo had returned that Liu Er finally revealed a smile.

"I saw that he was young and only had Foundation Establishment cultivation, so I became arrogant."

【Note: The correct version is at 6/9*shu. ba! 【6*9*s*h*u-b-】】

He and Guan Hong looked at Unlike Ning Zhuo, their eyes containing hidden expectation.

Real positions were the miscellaneous generals of the three generals, and Unlike Ning Zhuo's Military Advisor Sacrificial Wine. There were many types of nominal positions, and some titles without fiefs belonged to this category.

Status was also divided into real and nominal.

Unlike Ning Zhuo smiled: "Thank you for your guidance, General Guan."

Liu Er suddenly bowed and saluted Unlike Ning Zhuo: "Does the Military Advisor also dabble in the strange path? I see the Military Advisor has a sickle weapon, which must be one of the best among the Night Rain Demon Soldiers. In the previous ambush battle, the sickle easily repelled Wu Hen, and its power was sufficient! Please, Military Advisor, help me."

Previously, Wu Hen had ambushed Guan Hong, causing Guan Hong's right arm to be injured.

Speaking of this, Liu Er hesitated but still advised: "Military Advisor, you might want to save it for later use. If you become Shuang Jing's retainer and then absorb national power, you will definitely have more gains."

Guan Hong was silent for a few breaths before saying: "Big Brother, if you want to blame someone, blame me; I was the one who refused back then."

Liu Er was shocked and grabbed Guan Hong's arm: "Second Brother, you must never do such a thing."

Unlike Ning Zhuo shook his head: "I did not agree on the spot."

He immediately lifted the tent flap and ran toward the camp gate.

Liu Er sighed long and hard and talked to Zhang Hei in detail.

"Our army was just founded not long ago; having won this battle and captured a Nascent Soul cultivator alive, our morale is high, and we should be racing against time to train the army, preparing for the great battle that will join the battlefield in the future."

Guan Hong could not help but have red-rimmed eyes: "Big Brother."

"As for Second Brother, he is in the tent absorbing national power to increase his cultivation."

Guan Hong sighed: "This is a method with no other method."

The tent was dim, with a few candles burning. The candlelight was bright red, emitting a light like blood.

"Who knew the Military Advisor had such amazing talent, making people look at him with new eyes. Alas, it is I, Guan, who had eyes but failed to recognize talent!"

It was not just spreading in the flesh, but also eroding the surface of the bones.

"I only hate that I am weak and have failed to establish more achievements to help the Military Advisor obtain more battle merits."

"Second Brother!!"

"Like us three brothers, didn't we promote from Mobile Corps Commander to Captor General, and the absorption of national power is twice as effective as before!"

Guan Hong was dressed in a deep green robe, but his right arm was exposed, and the wound was obviously swollen, with the flesh having a black-purple color.

"And becoming a retainer means losing freedom..."

Liu Er immediately said: "Second Brother, use all ten bricks of national power; I will also make the decision for Third Brother's share! I will compensate Third Brother."

"We met and knew each other, fighting side by side; how can I let you, a dignified Golden Core, kneel and beg a Foundation Establishment, suffering such humiliation?"

"Strange path!" Liu Er's expression sank.

Liu Er felt good in his heart, but reached out to stop him: "Second Brother, no need to say more."

Liu Er nodded: "The imperial edict only specified that these ten bricks of national power were rewarded to the three of us, without naming names or precise distribution, so it should be feasible."

"Second Brother, shut up; everyone has their own ambitions, how can you force them!" Liu Er's face was full of solemnity.

Unlike Ning Zhuo became interested: "How is General Guan's injury?"

Liu Er looked at the tent flap and sighed deeply.

Guan Hong did not speak.

But he still smiled reluctantly: "This, this matter needs to be treated with caution."

Guan Hong was moved.

Clearly, he had finished his cultivation this time.

"Although the Military Advisor has great talent, you and I are brothers, as close as hands and feet. To humiliate you like this is to humiliate me!"

Guan Hong stopped speaking.

"Why not let me carry a thorn and plead guilty, kneeling before the Military Advisor's tent, begging him to stay!"

Seeing this scene, he widened his eyes: "What good things are the two brothers talking about, why not bring me along?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo looked at the training ground in the camp: "Why don't I see General Guan Hong and General Zhang Hei training the army?"

The conditions here refer to the status of cultivators within the corresponding country.

Liu Er hurriedly grabbed Zhang Hei's arm: "Third Brother, don't be so rude. Everyone has their own ambitions; how can you force them?"

"Big Brother!"

Hearing that Shuang Jing did not forbid Unlike Ning Zhuo's freedom, Guan Hong stroked his beard, his expression slightly cold: "If I were the Military Advisor, I would never agree to become Shuang Jing's retainer!"

"General Guan, can you let me see the wound?"

"But the Military Advisor's four bricks of national power can only be used by the Military Advisor himself." "Alas, it's just that my status is low, and the Military Advisor comes from a great family; it is hard to win such hearts."

Liu Er's eyes lit up: "Could it be that you, Military Advisor..."

Liu Er looked at Guan Hong deeply: "Second Brother!"

After meeting Unlike Ning Zhuo, he laughed heartily, his smile as warm as fire: "Military Advisor, you're back! It's good that you're back!"

"If the Military Advisor wants to be efficient, why not seek fame on the battlefield?"

"The wound is not big, but if it is not treated, it will erode into a more serious condition over time." Liu Er also projected his divine sense over, worried.

Zhang Hei lifted the tent flap and walked in.

Guan Hong saw Liu Er still furrowing his brow and frowned: "Big Brother is thinking of the Military Advisor; how can I, as a younger brother, not share Big Brother's worries?"

"I'll go talk to him!! We are building an army together, and he wants to break up halfway now?!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo was curious and asked: "The ten bricks of national power were rewarded by the Royal Capital; can they be concentrated for one of you to use?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded: "I am considering it."

Unlike Ning Zhuo shook his head: "It sounds like I'm about to leave the camp. General Liu, don't worry, not to mention that after this battle, I will definitely travel far and leave the Liangzhu Kingdom. Even if I agreed to become Shuang Jing's retainer to increase my knowledge, I would never forget to subsidize the Three Generals Camp."

"Otherwise, becoming a retainer, being scolded and pointed at by others, how depressing!"

"Strange path!" Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyes lit up.

Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded: "I don't have much dual cultivation in the strange path, I just have good luck and obtained a Night Rain Demon Soldier."

"However, although the strange path is difficult to solve, the injury is still limited to the right arm at this time. Perhaps General Guan can rely on national power to surge his cultivation and suppress and crush it in one fell swoop?"

"With the Military Advisor's ability, it is not difficult to make achievements on the battlefield. Accumulating merits and promoting military rank is the only way to maintain one's freedom."

Seeing Unlike Ning Zhuo furrowing his brow, quite worried, his heart skipped a beat and he asked: "Military Advisor, is Shuang Jing making things difficult for you? Don't worry, the three of us brothers will back you up."

Liu Er hurriedly comforted Guan Hong again.

The same brick of national power, absorbed by people with different conditions, has different gains.

"Although Shuang Jing is high-born, your background is actually about the same."

Liu Er's expression dimmed again.

"Alas!"

"No!"

"As long as the family writes back recently, allowing me to control the precious materials in my hand, I will definitely help the three generals!"

Zhang Hei widened his eyes again: "What? The Military Advisor is leaving?!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo shook his head: "I have the Night Rain Demon Soldier, only good at killing, and cannot treat such injuries."

Just as he was speaking, a divine sense message came: "Thank you, Military Advisor, for your concern. The injury on my right arm is far more troublesome than imagined; I have tried all methods in turn, but it is difficult to see results."

"It was Shuang Jing who invited me, wanting to recruit me as his retainer."

"Back then at the Pear Garden, Third Brother invited the Military Advisor to swear brotherhood with us. If I had insisted back then, the Military Advisor would be our Fourth Brother; how could he leave us at this moment?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo looked at his wound, his divine sense penetrated the inside of the wound, and found that the black-purple was spreading.

Guan Hong could not help but speak: "A man acts between heaven and earth; how can he become a retainer for petty gains?"

Liu Er's smile stalled, and his heart turned cold; the thing he worried about most had happened.

Liu Er welcomed him while secretly observing Unlike Ning Zhuo's expression.

Unlike Ning Zhuo shook his head: "That's not it."

Shuang Jing's retainer status is just a nominal position. But because of Shuang Jing's noble status, as long as Unlike Ning Zhuo has this retainer status, he can get three times the results.

"Alas, it's just that my status is low, and I don't win hearts."

"Big Brother!!" Zhang Hei was stubborn.

"Third Brother, listen to Big Brother." Guan Hong said.

Zhang Hei looked at Liu Er, then at Guan Hong, then punched the air, turned his head to look at the ground: "Alas!!!"

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 470 =====

Unlike Ning Zhuo promised again, and seeing that the atmosphere was poor, he took his leave and departed from the tent.

He sighed sincerely: "Second brother, it was my mistake!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo showed an embarrassed expression.

"Oh, that won't happen. He stated plainly that I could leave at any time and does not restrict my freedom," Unlike Ning Zhuo said, waving his hand.

Liu Er's smile stalled once more, his heart sinking to the bottom, yet he still cupped his hands in congratulations: "This... this is actually very good. After all, Shuang Jing's family background is truly extraordinary. I must congratulate the Military Advisor; relying on Shuang Jing, the Military Advisor will surely be better able to successfully avenge his family."

Liu Er frowned, and immediately entered the tent with Unlike Ning Zhuo to visit Guan Hong.

Unlike Ning Zhuo shook his head: "That's not it."

Shuang Jing's status as a family retainer is merely a nominal title. But because of Shuang Jing's noble status, as long as Unlike Ning Zhuo possesses this layer of retainer status, he can obtain triple the results.

"Sigh, I can only blame my low status for failing to win people's hearts."

"Big Brother!!" Zhang Hei looked stubborn.

"Third brother, listen to Big Brother," Guan Hong said.

Zhang Hei glanced at Liu Er, then at Guan Hong, then swung his fist at the air, turned his head to look at the ground: "Sigh!!!"
