You expect me to serve your mistress? The mistress is driving this scumbag and his entire family cra

Chapter 151 Reunion after a long absence

Immediately afterwards, one after another agile and nimble figures leaped down from the city gate, each wielding a sharp blade, like dragons emerging from the sea. The Xiliang soldiers screamed in agony, and the situation instantly reversed.

There are men and women, old and young.

Liang Jiang blinked in disbelief, her eyes instantly welling up with tears, and her nose stung with emotion.

The people in front of her were all too familiar, the very people she had missed and longed to see for the past two years.

Senior uncle, senior brother, senior sister... they are all disciples of Yuhua Mountain, disciples of the Martial Saint.

The first to leap off the city gate and charge straight at Shanyu Beixiong was none other than Junior Uncle, the fearsome Demon Lord Baili Shouyue.

He was dressed in white, with flowing black hair, like an immortal detached from the world, but the vajra in his hand was stained with blood, and wherever he went, it was as if the King of Hell had descended.

Upon seeing her relatives, Liang Jiang almost burst into tears.

You should know that when my mother gave birth to me prematurely on the battlefield, the war was intense, food supplies were scarce, and many soldiers were injured or killed. My mother had no time to take care of me, so she asked Yu Ma to take me to Yuhua Mountain.

Back then, she was as thin as a little kitten, and even when she cried, she would whine and whimper.

The two grandmasters were heartbroken and summoned all the disciples of Yuhua Mountain overnight, determined to find a way to save their lives.

From then on, he became the most favored disciple on the entire Yuhua Mountain.

The two grandmasters went to great lengths to raise me, collecting countless rare medicinal herbs.

The senior monks on the mountain treated him like their own son, and any of the senior brothers and sisters who dared to make him cry would be punished with a beating.

Even later, when he became arrogant and spoiled, often causing trouble on the mountain and making a ruckus, his uncles and senior brothers still indulged him and couldn't bear to speak harshly to him.

They made up for the lack of love they received from their parents by giving it to them.

Yuhua Mountain was his true home. As for the Duke's Mansion, everyone from his grandmother to his second uncle, as well as his cousins, were complete strangers.

Later, after her father got into trouble, she left Yuhua Mountain overnight and returned to Shangjing. Because of her father's treason, Liangjiang and her mother were ashamed to return to Yuhua Mountain to face their fellow disciples, so they went into seclusion in Fucheng.

With Lu Er around, everyone knew that the mother and daughter were getting along peacefully, but they hadn't seen each other for more than two years.

Now, in this time of crisis, her fellow disciples and senior brothers descended from the heavens like gods to save her from danger. How could she not be moved?
Liang Jiang choked up, her vision blurred with tears.

He seemed completely unaware that the Xiliang soldiers' swords were piercing him, and just stood there dumbly grinning and crying.

Senior Brother Lu Zhengqi sent the soldier flying with a single sword strike, then glanced at her with disdain: "Look at your pathetic self."

Liang Jiang pouted, "Senior Brother, what brings you all here?"

The eldest brother said irritably, "Even if you don't treat us like family, we still acknowledge you as our little junior sister. After all, you're the only precious one in our Jade Flower Mountain."

Liang Jiang cried and laughed at the same time: "Did Junior Uncle tell you this?"

"Half of it is," the senior brother explained while fighting the enemy, "It was a message that Lu Xingzhan asked my junior uncle to deliver to me. When I said goodbye to your martial arts master, they all reported to the master that you were in trouble and came along with me."

Junior Uncle left the letter and went directly to the border. However, upon arriving at the border, he happened to encounter men sent by Tong Shouliang, who imprisoned Deputy General He, thus delaying his journey by two days, which is how he met us.

"Is Vice General He alright?"

"It's alright. With Junior Uncle turning the tide, and Vice General He having high prestige at the border, he can command almost anyone's support, so naturally the other side didn't succeed."

Those men have all been imprisoned by Deputy General He, awaiting only Tong Shouliang's confession and execution before they can be convicted. His men should arrive soon; hold on!

Liang Jiang was filled with excitement, and it seemed that she had regained her strength, so she joined the battle.

As expected, Vice General He's troops arrived quickly and launched a strong attack on Xiliang. Chanyu Beixiong was forced to divert some of his forces to deal with Vice General He's offensive.

Baili Shouyue seized the opportunity and charged in front of him. How could Shanyu Beixiong be a match for him?
However, after only a few moves, he was restrained by Baili Shouyue and dared not make any rash moves.

With their commander captured and the group leaderless, the Xiliang soldiers immediately panicked.

Under the cover of his senior uncle and others, Gu Xizhi opened the city gate, and Vice General He immediately led his troops into the city of Xiliang.

A great victory.

The Xiongnu chieftain Beixiong was captured.

It should be understood that defending a city is easier than attacking it. Chang'an achieved a victory against overwhelming odds, managing to breach the city of Xiliang with a mere 10,000 men – an unprecedented triumph.

The soldiers in Chang'an were greatly encouraged and cheered with joy.

The disciples of Yuhua Mountain surrounded Liang Jiang, knowing that she had suffered a lot of grievances in the past two years. They chatted and teased her, just like they had back in Yuhua Mountain, making Liang Jiang both cry and laugh, her nose turning bright red.

"Do you know that our disciples almost fought each other just to come to Xiliang Pass to help you?"

"Master is having a real problem selecting troops, no one is willing to stay behind to guard the mountain. Normally, those disciples and grand-disciples who respect their master don't even dare to breathe loudly in front of you, Master, but this time they are arguing so fiercely that they are almost ready to turn against each other, and they are using all sorts of methods."

"In the end, your master had no choice but to have us draw lots. Whoever drew the lot would have to go down the mountain. It was all up to luck, and everyone had to accept the consequences. That's how the trouble was calmed down."

"Who knew that after your second senior brother and the others failed to be selected, they were still dissatisfied and actually secretly went down the mountain to come along. When they return to Yuhua Mountain, they will definitely be punished."

The second senior brother stubbornly insisted, "So be it. Being able to fight alongside you all is an honor, even if I get punished when I go back. Others will probably envy me and regret not coming. Besides, we all agreed on this matter when we met down the mountain. If we're going to be punished, we'll be punished together."

As everyone talked animatedly, Liang Jiang felt increasingly like crying.

"Thanks to everyone for arriving in time today, otherwise I really would never have seen you again."

"We're not just here to rescue you, but to defend the honor and dignity of Yuhua Mountain. For the past two years, my junior brother has been wronged, and everyone in Yuhua Mountain has been holding their breath. After receiving Lu Er's letter, everyone was extremely indignant and can finally hold their heads high!"

"That's right, Tong Shouliang is simply too shameless. I really want to go to the capital immediately and kill him to pay tribute to my Uncle Liang."

"Junior Sister, you are truly remarkable! You dared to venture into Xiliang alone. Such courage and bravery are something our Yuhua Mountain should be proud of. My worthless disciples should also take you as their role model!"

“If you consider us family, you should share happiness and hardship. If it weren’t for the letter we sent from a hundred miles away, and something happened to you, wouldn’t your master’s life be in danger?”

When Baili Shouyue was mentioned, Liang Jiang looked around, searching for his whereabouts.

A desolate sound of the xun (a type of ancient Chinese wind instrument) drifted over, not loud, yet it pierced through the waves of excited cheers. It was mellow and solemn, profound and far-reaching, lingering around everyone like a lament, and never dissipating.

Liang Jiang looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man and a horse, dressed in white, walking away from the devastation of war on the grasslands beyond the pass.

Everyone fell silent.

Liang Jiang cupped her hands to her lips, her voice hoarse: "Junior Uncle!"

Baili Shouyue seemed to sense something and turned around, their eyes meeting.

He raised his hand and waved at Liang Jiang.

Liang Jiang felt reluctant to part, but she also knew that he would definitely not stay. So she stood on tiptoe and waved to Baili Shouyue, and they smiled at each other without prior agreement. All their gratitude was contained in this heartfelt smile.

The eldest master and the others remained silent, watching him walk away into the distance. Baili Shouyue's back was aloof and cold, exuding a unique arrogance and nonchalance characteristic of the strong.

The journey through life is long and arduous, but I believe we will meet again someday.
