"good!"
Upon hearing Li Mu's words, Wu Dao's dejected expression vanished instantly, and he slapped his thigh hard!
"General Li is right. As long as I can achieve great merit this time, the higher-ups will definitely punish that brat from the Lin family severely, and I can still take command of the army!"
Li Mu smiled and nodded, "Wu Jianjun is right to think that way. This is our only chance, and we must seize it!"
"However, I wonder what the relationship is between Military Supervisor Wu and your cousin? This Xu Junwei is so young, but I don't think he's someone to be trifled with!" Li Mu couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Wu Dao smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry! Xu Chengyi is my Wu family's son-in-law, so he's naturally on our side. You can rest assured about that. Besides, Junwei and I got along well when we were kids. He spent some time in Yandu when he was a teenager, and I was the one who usually took him out to play!"
Upon hearing this, Li Mu was immediately relieved and nodded repeatedly, "That's good, that's good!"
Soon, Wu Dao set off, leading his guard company straight down the mountain.
Because the Black-faced General was captured, the main force of the government army could only remain stationary.
After Wu Dao arrived, he led a few people to talk to Xu Junwei in person.
Upon seeing Xu Junwei, Wu Dao immediately opened his arms and laughed heartily, "Haha, Junwei, it's been years since we last met! Good lad, you've become a captain in the blink of an eye!"
Xu Junwei was quite surprised to see Wu Dao and nodded, "Cousin, what brings you here?"
Wu Dao patted his shoulder insignia, looking arrogant. "Your brother is now a military supervisor, three stars. How about it? Interested in following me? I'll take you to new heights. In less than six months, your brother will have a star on your shoulder, bringing glory to your Xu family!"
Xu Junwei lowered his arm and said calmly, "That's unnecessary. My Xu family ancestors have carried stars before. The title of Marquis of Guanzhong represents supreme glory! I have the desire to bring honor to my ancestors, but I hope to rely on my own efforts, not on connections, and not tarnish the honor of a soldier!"
"Forehead……"
Xu Junwei's words were utterly merciless, freezing Wu Dao's smile on his face.
He could only laugh awkwardly and nod, saying, "Good lad, you have ambition, you have ambition!"
He then leaned closer and said, "Junwei, I've come here this time hoping you'll make way for me so the main force of the government army can get through. That brat from the Lin family is currently bullying the people, and we must go up and protect them. Don't worry, once we rescue the people, I'll have performed a great service, and I'll give you the top credit! How about it?"
“Not good at all!” Xu Junwei decisively refused, coldly saying, “Those people down the mountain can no longer be called human. Our orders are to stop them at all costs. Inspector Wu, please don’t make things difficult for me!”
Wu Dao was stunned. He had thought that with his influence, he could get Xu Junwei to let him go with just a word.
Unexpectedly, this kid didn't give me any face at all.
"Junwei, I'm your cousin! How can you not even listen to me, but listen to that brat from the Lin family?" Wu Dao's tone was incomprehensible and somewhat angry. In his subconscious, the Xu family was the Wu family's in-law, and the other party should obviously listen to him.
Xu Junwei snorted coldly, his face still expressionless, and said, "I'm sorry, Inspector Wu, a soldier's duty is to obey orders, and military law is a serious matter that cannot be taken lightly. I cannot comply with your request. Please forgive me!"
"You!" Wu Dao shouted angrily, "I'm not only your cousin, I'm also the military supervisor. The Grand Secretary granted me the Buddhist Order, so in the entire Feng Prefecture, apart from Lin Yuanlong, I'm the highest authority! My orders are higher than that brat Lin's orders. I'm ordering you now to get out of my way!!"
Xu Junwei remained unmoved, simply saying, "Sorry, I only accept orders from my direct superior, and my superior is Legion Commander Wang Dalei! Unless you send our legion commander, I will resolutely carry out the order to the end!"
"you!"
Wu Dao was truly furious; he refused to believe he couldn't deal with his younger brother!
"Men, take this brat's sidearm off and seize him!"
At his command, Wu Dao's men were about to take action.
At this moment, Xu Junwei's guards rushed up and pointed their weapons at the other group.
Tensions immediately rose between the two sides.
Wu Dao's face was grim: "Xu Junwei, are you really going to take this to the extreme? Don't forget, your Xu family is just an in-law of my Wu family. If you offend my Wu family, do you think your Xu family will have a future? What do you think you can get by relying on the Lin family? The Lin family is just a power broker. With Lin Yuanlong dead, the Fengtian clique will collapse, and this world will ultimately belong to our aristocratic families!"
Xu Junwei chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Cousin, do you really understand Young Marshal Lin?"
Wu Dao was taken aback for a moment, then said disdainfully, "Why should I understand him? He's just a second-generation scion of a mere power broker. How can he compare to me, a young master of a powerful family? Even if he's lucky enough to become the King of the Northeast, I am the King of the entire world!"
Xu Junwei shook his head and sighed, "From you, I can see that the aristocratic families have truly declined... And I have to correct you, you've got it backwards. If you really understood Young Marshal Lin, you would understand what kind of person he is. Don't even mention you, even if all the young masters of Yandu were tied together, they might not be able to match a single finger of his!"
Xu Junwei's words were neither an exaggeration nor a compliment. After all, he had experienced Lin Yu's skills firsthand and was also aware of Lin Yu's great achievements.
He defeated the Japanese pirates twice, and became a legend in one battle. Within a few months, the Guanzhong Plain, which had been shrouded in chaos, was restored to peace and tranquility. Moreover, how could the Grand Secretary, a man of such wisdom, easily entrust the heavy responsibility of the Imperial Inspector of Eight Prefectures to the son of a powerful family?
What makes up all of this is not status, luck... but true strength!
Although Xu Junwei didn't say it, he had already been conquered by Lin Yu in his heart. Especially during the days of training with his brothers in the Dark Division, he vaguely knew that Lin Yu even had the power to influence the world. He was already completely convinced by Lin Yu.
"Xu Junwei, what nonsense are you talking about?" Wu Dao's face was extremely ugly, and he was also extremely jealous. He really couldn't understand what kind of bewitching potion that bastard had given his cousin.
All the young masters of Yandu combined are not even worth a single finger of his?
It's absolutely ridiculous!
"Cousin, wake up! Stop going against Marshal Lin!" Xu Junwei shook his head helplessly. "I'm doing this for your own good. Men, tie Supervisor Wu to a tree. We'll let him down after this storm has passed!"
At Xu Junwei's command, his men rushed forward and immediately disarmed Wu Dao and his men.
"Xu Junwei!! How dare you treat me like this? Your Xu family is finished! Utterly finished!!"
