Chapter 48: The Army Marches on Wei!



Meng Tian stood there, looking completely bewildered. Beside him, Meng Yi chuckled and said, "Big brother, you recognize this big brother, but it seems he doesn't recognize you."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a "smack" was heard, and Meng Yi clutched the back of his head, his face full of resentment.

"Go away, who gave you the right to speak?" Meng Tian forced himself to remain calm and left the front hall that had embarrassed him.
