What a lucky world!

Chapter 284 A son is also a father~
Taiping City, the Guerrilla Commandery, the inner residence.

Yang Ling awoke from the pincer attack of the two beautiful women, feeling the softness on his arm. He pinched it lightly, eliciting a coquettish reproach from both beauties. Satisfied, he smiled and was about to spur his horse forward again, spear in hand, ready to charge in and out of the enemy lines, when suddenly the voice of a guard came from outside—

"General, the young general is back."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling suddenly felt a pang of sadness, realizing that even heroes have their weaknesses and that their spears are easily broken.

Muttering something, Yang Ling got off the bed. The two beauties also had disappointed expressions on their faces, but they still dutifully got up and helped Yang Ling get dressed.

Stepping out of the room, Yang Ling looked at the servant reporting at the door and asked, "When did Falcon arrive?"

The servant bowed and said, "General, the young general arrived an hour ago. Hearing that the general was still resting, he did not send me to disturb you."

"An hour?" Yang Ling looked up at the sky; the sun was already high in the sky.

"Let's go..." Yang Ling sighed and walked towards the front hall, looking as if he was about to be scolded.

Although Yang Ling and Yang Jun are father and son, their status in the Yang family is quite different.

Yang Ling is the third son in the Yang family this generation. Although he is also a direct descendant, most of the family's resources are focused on the eldest son. In addition, Yang Ling was pampered by his mother since childhood and was playful and active, so the Yang family did not place any hope on him.

Until Yang Jun was born.

Yang Jun was born with double pupils and was of superior talent. His birth caused a sensation in the Yang family. He was regarded as the inheritor of the Yang family's fortune and was even personally adopted by the Grandmaster Ancestor.

Therefore, the Yang family all understood that Yang Jun was actually the designated future head of the family.

It was precisely because of Yang Jun that Yang Ling began to receive some expectations and preferential treatment that he had not received before. His family went to great lengths to raise his cultivation to the peak of the Condensation Realm and used their connections to secure him a position as a wandering general. With the double blessing of national and family fortune, Yang Ling also successfully broke through to the Gathering Gallbladder Realm.

But the more this happened, the more fear Yang Ling felt towards her son.

It's as if the son is the father.

For this reason, after Yang Ling arrived in Taiping County, Yang Jun took the initiative to suggest moving to Xizhao Peak in the west of the city, and Yang Ling naturally agreed.

But today, his eldest son ran back without a word, which made him quite nervous.

……

"Hahaha, Falcon, why didn't you tell me you were coming back so I could have picked you up?" Yang Ling tried to act like a loving father as he walked into the main hall. He saw Yang Falcon sitting in a chair drinking tea. Hearing his words, Yang Falcon looked up and met his gaze.

Looking into those eyes, Yang Ling immediately felt guilty. He quickly walked to the chair and sat down, saying, "I have a lot of official business today. I usually get up very early."

"Wan'an County has fallen..." Yang Jun said calmly, "Does Father know?"

"Of course I know." Upon hearing this, Yang Ling felt more confident. "I am currently reorganizing the troops. We will set out in the next two days and wipe out the White Lotus bandits in one fell swoop."

"Wait a minute," Yang Jun said.

"Huh?" Yang Ling was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Wait? Why?"

Yang Jun sighed softly, looked at his father, and said, "What merit is there in recapturing a county?"

"Father, please be patient and wait a while."

"Wait until these people seize the prefectural city."

"It even swept through half of Taiping County..."

"Then Father will send troops again."

Yang Ling was no fool, and naturally understood what his son meant, but he frowned and said, "But if we let them run rampant like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress them if the White Lotus bandits rise up."

Yang Jun smiled slightly: "Didn't the clan send three hundred clan soldiers?"

"Send them all out and infiltrate the White Lotus bandits' ranks."

"The lowest cultivation level among the clan soldiers is the sixth rank of the Meridian Opening stage, and there are dozens of people at the Liquid Condensation stage. Once these people join the bandit army, they will immediately take command of a unit."

"At that time, with Father working together with them from the inside and outside, plus the Grandmaster in charge, it will be easy to wipe out the bandits."

“After the banditry is quelled, this White Lotus bandit gang will become another force under Father’s command.” Yang Ling’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"That makes sense! My son truly has the makings of a grandmaster!" Yang Ling exclaimed.

Yang Jun shook his head slightly: "The banditry is a minor matter, but there is another matter that requires Father's help."

When Yang Ling heard that his son had something to ask of him, his paternal pride surged up, and he said, "What does my son want me to do?"

Yang Jun put down his teacup: "Father, please persuade that grandmaster to cooperate with us in wiping out the Qianyuan Martial Village!"

……

Qianyuan Mountain, Qianyuan Martial Village.

Zhang Mu frowned as he looked at the letter in his hand.

After looking at it, he said to those around him, "Bring the person in."

Immediately, someone came out of the hall and soon brought a ragged young man into the hall.

"Did you deliver this letter?" Zhang Mu asked as soon as the young man entered the hall.

"It's the villain."

Zhang Mu nodded: "Tell me the details."

The young man licked his lips and said, "Reporting to the chief, I am originally a hunter from outside Wan'an County."

“A few days ago, the White Lotus Sect attacked Wan’an County. The county was only defended for one day before it fell.”

"A large number of White Lotus bandits entered the county town."

Zhang Mu waved his hand, interrupting, "Let's talk about this letter!"

The young man nodded quickly and continued, "We hunters usually set up some rest houses in the mountains."

"Three days ago, I came out of the mountains and planned to rest in the rest house, but I saw three people inside."

"Two men, both injured, and a woman is taking care of them."

"The woman said she was Lady Zhuang from the Weiyuan Escort Agency and had escaped from Wan'an County."

"That lady from the Zhuang family gave me a jade bracelet, saying it was payment, and asked me to deliver this letter. She also said there would be another reward after it arrived..."

"Boss, does this promise stand or not?"

Zhang Mu nodded slightly, then asked, "What about the bracelet?"

The young man immediately took out a jade bracelet from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Mu. Zhang Mu examined it carefully. Although he didn't recognize the jade bracelet from Lady Zhuang's pocket, he could tell that it was a fine piece of jade.

“I’ll pay five hundred taels for this jade bracelet, and I’ll give you another hundred taels when you come to deliver the message. Is that alright?” Zhang Mu asked.

The young man immediately nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, thank you, boss, thank you, boss."

Zhang Mu waved his hand, signaling someone to take him downstairs to collect the silver, while he sat in a chair, lost in thought.

"Meow—" Xuanji silently jumped into Zhang Mu's arms, looked at Zhang Mu, and said, "Madam Zhuang is a good person, meow..."

“Yeah…” Zhang Mu replied perfunctorily.

"Going to rescue her, meow?" Xuanji asked, "So she'll come back and be my wife, meow..."

Zhang Mu raised his hand and rubbed Xuan Ji's head, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"We definitely need to save those people."

"But the person who designed me also needs to be taught a lesson..."
