Those who can enter the Assyrian Citizens' College must have strong family backgrounds. At the very least, their families are stronger than Wu Lai's when he first entered the college. At least they have seen the world. Compared with them, Wu Lai was just a bumpkin when he first entered the college - at least that's what others think.
Before Khufu came and slapped Wu Lai in the face, people's opinion of Wu Lai had not changed much.
Even after the Khufu incident, most people thought that Wu Lai was lucky. He had only been in Assyrian City for a year when he got together with Lev, a man of extraordinary strength and potential among the new generation of Assyrians, and Wright, who might have average potential but absolutely amazing strength. This was basically a consensus among everyone, because only a small group of people like Eddie who knew Lev very well could guess that Lev was able to come here entirely for the sake of the Kochi family.
But now is clearly the time to correct everyone's views -
Under the escort of the 64 guards of honor of the Fourth Legion, Yi Jiang rode into the academy with a smile on his face...
After a while, when the line of carriages stopped, they almost took up nearly half of the venue of the horse farm. Then, more than a hundred carriage soldiers jumped off the carriages and respectfully invited everyone to get on. After a while, the faculty, students, and family members who were traveling with Wu Lai were accommodated safely, either in pairs or in groups of three.
After Yi Jiang gave the order, sixty-four ceremonial soldiers led the way, and a large group of carriages and horses marched out of the academy in a mighty manner.
Since Lini was there, Yi Jiang went to ride with him. Naturally, Wu Lai had to accompany Lini as well. He couldn't just beg him to come out and then leave him aside.
"In case you don't have enough, I arranged forty more cars." After greeting Lini, Yi Jiang said to Wu Lai with a smile.
"You've thought it through very carefully." Wu Lai smiled and said, "It's a good thing you're here, otherwise, I would have been laughed at today."
After hearing what he said, Lini just smiled and said nothing. Yi Jiang shook his head and asked, "You can't solve this problem? Who would believe it?"
In the other car, Eddie's expression eased a little, but although it did, there was also a hint of helplessness.
"It's just a trip, but Yijiang came all the way here. I don't understand." Eddie sighed and said to Quick and Boti who were riding with him.
"Does Wu Lai want to tell everyone that he has the support of the Fourth Legion?" Quick frowned, somewhat unsure.
"I think that's what he meant." Boti shrugged. "Yijiang is stationed in the city-state of Menes, which is not close to Assyria. He came here with such a big fanfare. What else can it mean except to support Wu Lai?"
"Could it be that General Anubis has some ideas?" Quick suddenly asked.
Eddie was startled, frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head hesitantly: "General Anubis has been silent for several years. Even if he wants to come up with something, he will not bring out an outsider like Wuleglindo."
"But Yi Jiang came with the ceremonial guards." Kui Ke couldn't help but say. The ceremonial guards would definitely stay by the commander's side on weekdays. As a father, Anubis would naturally know where Yi Jiang wanted to take them.
"Yes, the Fourth Legion and..." Boti was halfway through his words when he realized that there was no need for him to remind him of these things, so he simply shut up.
At the same time, Helen and Ye Jianwu were talking in a low voice.
"Helen, it's a bit strange what Woolleglin did." Ye Renwu said.
"I don't think so." Helen smiled and shook her head.
"Isn't this strange? It's just a trip. Is it necessary to make such a fuss?" asked Ye Renwu.
"This is not an ordinary trip," Helen said. "You are not involved, so you don't know."
"Then tell me." Ye Renwu giggled and took Helen's arm.
"You, you can know the answer just by using your brain, yet you still need me to tell you." Helen tapped Ye Renwu's forehead as she leaned over.
"Just say it, you are my sister after all." Ye Renwu just started to act coquettishly.
"Well, Wu Lai provoked Khufu for the two of us, and then Lev and Light were involved." Helen said, "Light is easy to deal with, because he doesn't have too many requirements for Wu Lai, and they are equals. But Lev is different. Lev is ambitious, and his family's power is unmatched in Assyria. He intends to bring Wu Lai under his command, but Wu Lai is unwilling."
"Why would he be unwilling?" Ye Renwu interrupted.
"Because Wu Lai said that he wanted to be the hero in my mind, brave, wise, tolerant, rich, noble, and admired by everyone." A happy smile appeared on Helen's face.
"He can do the same by following Lev, maybe even faster." Ye Renwu frowned, "I understand what he means. One of Lev's trump cards is the First Legion, and there is no hierarchy between the Assyrian Legions, so Wu Lai brought out the Fourth Legion as a shield to stop Lev's idea, right?"
"That's about it. I just said it. If you use your brain, you will understand everything." Helen said with a smile, and added, "By doing this, Wu Lai achieved multiple goals at once. He said that many people are eyeing him covetously, and many people are secretly making trouble for him. If he doesn't do this, some things won't go on."
"Is this outing one of them?" Ye Renwu asked with a giggle.
"Of course, everything those people did was within Wu Lai's expectations." Helen suddenly sighed and couldn't help but praise, "Wu Lai is really a genius. He is young, but he knows everything. I have learned more from him than I have learned in the past ten years. His profound knowledge amazes me. If he can control a legion in the future, I can't imagine how much he will achieve."
"Can he sweep across the entire continent?" Ye Renwu was stunned and asked casually.
Helen sighed and nodded: "I think, as long as he is willing, maybe he can really do it."
…
The huge convoy naturally attracted many curious glances. What made people even more curious was that every few meters, a new vehicle would join the queue. Judging from the emblems on the bodies of the vehicles, they came from different families, of course, some big and some small.
When seeing this scene, Lini did not show any surprise. He was used to it now. It seemed that anything related to Wu Lai was destined to be extraordinary.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Lini asked slowly.
"Teacher, it's like this. Some new friends heard that I set up a barbecue camp outside the city, and they wanted to come along because they were interested. I couldn't stop them." Wu Lai replied with a smile.
"Wu Lai, you have a lot of new friends. In just a short time, there are already more than ten cars joining us." Yi Jiang said with a laugh.
"These are all the teacher's teachings." Wu Lai nodded and looked at Lini.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Lini smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking to himself that this boy was such a scoundrel that he actually used me as a shield. It was obviously your own idea, why did you have to blame me?
Yi Jiang immediately "understood".
"General, you really care about Wu Lai." Yi Jiang said to Lini with some emotion.
Lini smiled bitterly in his heart, but he could only speak for Wu Lai, because he was a student he valued. Besides, Yi Jiang was right, he really put a lot of thought into this kid, and he even went to Seneca a few days ago to help him out.
"I have a close relationship with your father, but I'm old and my legs and feet are not very good, so I'm too lazy to visit him. From now on, it will depend on you younger generations to keep in touch with me." Lini looked at Yi Jiang with a smile, "When we go back today, tell your father that I got some good wine a few days ago, and ask him to come and taste it when he is free." Lini said.
Yi Jiang nodded quickly, and was immediately delighted, saying that this trip was worth it. Lini, the god of war, has been highly respected in the Assyrian territory for so many years, but he seldom took the initiative to invite anyone, especially those from the legion. He always came to visit on his own. Today he actually invited him. The meaning behind this is really worth pondering.
Wu Lai and the other two were chatting and laughing, but Addie's brows were getting more and more furrowed. Every time a carriage came in, her face would become more ugly. The emblems on the outer panels of these carriages represented families, many of which had dealings with her Heuman family. Does this mean that Wu Lai's popularity has overshadowed the Heuman family? Addie, Quick and Boti were naturally not happy about this, but in the current situation, could they still do what they wanted? The answer was obvious.
But after just a while, Eddie and the others' unhappiness turned into complete surprise - when they were about to leave the city, twelve ceremonial armored soldiers of the Second Legion came into everyone's sight. They were wearing the same distinctive armor and each rode a tall horse. Behind the armored soldiers, there were two carriages engraved with the emblem of the Shuman family. In the first carriage, sat Eddie's aunt, Iner Shuman.
Inelshuman is the only female general in the Second Legion. She is a deputy general who has led troops into battle and killed enemies. She is also the only female general in the Assyrian territory.
All along, Addie regarded Iner as her role model, so she learned swordplay, archery, and military skills.
The appearance of Yin'er made Yi Jiang's face change. When he subconsciously looked at Wu Lai, he found that Wu Lai was frowning and thinking. He was moved and asked, "Wu Lai, don't you know this woman?"
Wu Lai shook his head. He really didn't know them. The names of the carriages and horses that gathered along the way were the ones he had invited through the post, but the person who handled the matter was Wright. As for who to invite and who not to invite, he left it to Wright.
Although he didn't know Inr, Wu Lai knew the flag of the Second Legion and the emblem of the Xiuman family. In fact, there were two Xiuman families in the Assyrian territory, one controlled the Second Legion and the other controlled the Third Legion. However, the two Xiumans were actually a large family. More than a hundred years ago, they chose to split into two in order to achieve the greatest power in Assyria. In fact, they had a close relationship.
Both the Second and Third Legion's Xiuman had actually dealt with Wu Lai. When the "God-given Horse Gear" was first launched, the Second Legion formed a light cavalry ahead of the Fourth Legion, and also sold a favor to Wu Lai. Dayi Xiuman of the Third Legion had some personal grudges with Wu Lai, but now that Lini was suppressing him, there was no more movement.
Both legions are controlled by the Shuman family, which is why, although the Shuman family appears to be inferior to the top three families in strength, in fact no one dares to underestimate them - the Shuman family controls half of the military power of the Assyrian territory.
"Inerxiuman, the only female general in the Assyrian territory, is brave and ruthless." Lini smiled slightly. "Although she is strong in personal combat, she likes to fight with her brain and is very thoughtful. I am also surprised that she can come."
"I'm a little nervous." Wu Lai shrugged, "I don't have much friendship with the Second Legion."
Wu Lai's words made Yi Jiang feel more at ease. If anything went wrong with the things that Anubis had asked him to do before he came here, it would be difficult to explain when he returned.
"Since we're here, we might as well get to know each other. It won't be a bad thing if we handle it well." Lini paused and added, "It's not difficult to deal with Yin Erxiuman."
Yi Jiang didn't want Lini and Wu Lai to have a deep conversation at this time, so he took the opportunity to interrupt and said, "Wu Lai, you haven't told me what the barbecue camp is about."
"It's like this. Some time ago, I went out of town and saw a place with nice scenery. A few days ago, I asked two friends to buy it together. I thought that if I started a large-scale construction, it would definitely ruin the beautiful scenery. So I simply decorated it according to a dream, and it can be regarded as a place to go."
