I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

Top floor of the Tian Shu Bureau, General Command Office.

In front of the huge French windows, there are two rattan chairs and a pot of tea.

Outside the window is the dazzling night view of Wuhan, with lights like a dragon winding into the distance.

The room was filled with the aroma of tea and steaming heat.

Qin Zhenshan held the purple clay teapot that had been with him for decades, took a small sip, and a rare look of contentment appeared on his face.

Across from him, Chi Xiao was sprawled out in a rattan chair, casually toying with an exquisite jade tea pet.

"What's wrong? Can't bear to part with the night view of Jiangcheng?"

Qin Zhenshan put down the teapot and glanced at his old partner.

Chi Xiao chuckled and tossed the jade toad in his hand onto the table.

"I can't bear to part with a fart."

"I'm already tired of this place."

He pulled a crumpled transfer order from his pocket and waved it in mid-air.

"The transfer order from Fuzhou has come down."

"I have to leave in a week at the latest."

Qin Zhenshan's eyes narrowed slightly, then returned to calm.

Although I had expected it, I still felt a little uneasy when the day actually came.

We've been brothers for decades.

A bond forged through bloodshed and sacrifice.

Once he leaves, who knows when we'll meet again.

Moreover, that place, Fuzhou... is very complicated.

It is a hundred times more dangerous than Jiangcheng, a small border town.

"That place is not like Jiangcheng."

Qin Zhenshan poured himself another cup of tea, speaking in a flat tone, as if to say that the tea was a little hot.

"There are not only stronger monsters there, but also more complex human hearts."

"You'd better tone down your temper over there."

"Stop acting like you're the best in the world all the time."

"If you get beaten up, I don't have the ability to run all the way to Fuzhou to bail you out."

Chi Xiao rolled his eyes, looking disdainful.

Stop jinxing me.

"I call this being true to myself, what do you know?"

"Besides, I'm not going there to be a subservient grandson."

"I'm about to break through to the sixth rank. My strength speaks for itself. Anyone who wants to mess with me will have to think twice before they break a couple of my teeth."

After saying that, he looked at Qin Zhenshan's slightly serious old face and suddenly grinned.

"But it's you, Lao Qin."

"I thought you'd be crying and begging me to stay."

"After all, you couldn't even sleep soundly when I wasn't here to keep order."

Qin Zhenshan snorted coldly.

You're overthinking it.

"The past is the past, the present is the present."

He turned his head and looked out the window at the city illuminated by lights, a smile that was hard to hide curving his lips.

"Now, I have Shen Tian."

Upon hearing this name, Chi Xiao's smile faded, replaced by a complex expression.

There was both jealousy and admiration.

"I must say, you old dog are really lucky."

"Shen Tian is indeed a prodigy."

"Not even 18 years old, yet that talent, and that ruthlessness..."

Chixiao smacked his lips.

"Although I gave him the position of Tanlang, you old bastard are the one who will enjoy the benefits."

Qin Zhenshan's smug expression grew even stronger.

He put down his teacup, leaned back in his chair, and let out a comfortable sigh.

"So, you left at the perfect time."

"Shen Tian is not only talented, but most importantly—he is steady."

"Look at how he handles things; he never drags things out or tries to achieve great things."

"I have complete confidence in entrusting Po Jun Si to him."

Qin Zhenshan squinted, as if he could already see his wonderful life after retirement.

"These past few years, in order to protect Jiangcheng, my old bones are almost falling apart."

"Now it's all right."

"With Shen Tian leading the way, the burden of the general's duties can be shouldered."

"Those days of being woken up in the middle of the night to clean up a mess are gone forever."

Looking at Qin Zhenshan's "enjoying his retirement" demeanor, Chi Xiao couldn't help but tease him:

"Keep dreaming."

"That kid's a troublemaker, you expect him to take care of you in your old age?"

"Don't leave me to clean up your mess when things get really messy."

Qin Zhenshan waved his hand dismissively.

"impossible."

"Although Shen Tian is young, he is a sensible person."

"He just took office today, so he's probably familiarizing himself with the business or going down to inspect the work and win people over."

"That's why I assigned Li Wen to be his adjutant."

"This is called a combination of literary and martial arts skills; it makes the work less tiring."

"You can only be envious."

Qin Zhenshan became more and more excited as he talked, and even hummed a little tune from who-knows-when.

He could almost see Jiangcheng thriving under Shen Tian's leadership, and himself, as the talent scout, becoming a legend.

Just then.

Ugh—!

A sharp, piercing alarm suddenly rang out inside the Tian Shu Bureau building without warning.

This was not a typical drill alarm.

It is red.

Highest level alert!

He and Chixiao jumped up from their rattan chairs almost simultaneously.

Two terrifying auras erupted instantly, scattering documents all over the office.

"Enemy attack?!"

A fierce glint flashed in Chi Xiao's eyes, and the heavy sword on his back moved without wind, emitting a buzzing sound.

"Could it be that a beast king-level alien beast has breached the defenses?"

Qin Zhenshan's face was also ashen as he strode toward the door.

"impossible!"

"If the Beastmaster were to approach, the satellites would have detected it long ago!"

The office door was suddenly kicked open.

A communications officer scrambled in, his hat askew, his face ashen.

"Reporting...reporting to the garrison!"

"Something terrible has happened! Something drastic!"

Qin Zhenshan grabbed the staff officer by the collar, lifted him up, and roared:

"What's the panic!"

The staff officer was being choked so badly he almost rolled his eyes back, his hands flailing wildly in the air as he struggled to shout:

"No...it's not a monster!"

"It's the Po Jun Si!"

"Just now, ten minutes ago!"

"All combat units of the Breaking Army Command, including the heavy mech battalion, air assault team, special operations brigade... are mobilized!"

"A full three thousand men, fully armed, marched towards the East District!"

Qin Zhenshan's mind went blank.

Everyone mobilized?

East District?

That's a wealthy area!

The area is inhabited by Jiangcheng's celebrities, dignitaries, and prominent families.

"Who gave the order?!"

Qin Zhenshan practically roared out the question.

Without the signed authorization of the garrison commander, who would dare to mobilize the Po Jun Division without authorization?

The staff officer swallowed hard and glanced cautiously at Qin Zhenshan's face, which looked like it was about to devour someone.

"Yes...it's the newly appointed Commander-in-Chief, Lord Shen Tian."

The office fell into a deathly silence.

Qin Zhenshan opened his mouth wide, his expression like someone had stuffed a live toad into his mouth.

Chi Xiao stared wide-eyed, his face showing utter disbelief.

"Shen...Shen Tian?"

Qin Zhenshan felt his blood pressure rushing to his head at 180 miles per hour.

"What is he going to do?!"

"He's only been in office for less than a day! He hasn't even gotten to know everyone yet!"

"What's he doing taking thousands of people to the East District? Are they going to have a team-building event and a barbecue?!"

The staff officer shrank back and said weakly:

"General Shen issued a purge order."

"Just now."

"The army of the Po Jun Division has surrounded the Li family mansion."

"They've even set up anti-materiel sniper cannons."

"General Shen's exact words were..."

The staff officer paused for a moment, seemingly mimicking Shen Tian's tone.

Not even a fly should be let go.

Click.

The floorboards at the foot of Qinzhen Mountain were broken.

He felt a sudden darkness engulf his vision.

The Li family?

The Li family, the local tyrants who have dominated Jiangcheng for decades?

Shen Tian is going crazy!

Without any evidence or procedures, they directly mobilized the army to besiege the aristocratic family?

Where is the composure in this?

This is clearly a lawless thug!

"Steady my foot!"

Chi Xiao, who was standing next to him, finally realized what was happening and couldn't help but swear, but the expression on his face was incredibly interesting.

I want to laugh, but I don't dare to.

His face turned bright red from holding it in.

Now, this is truly a blessing.

Qin Zhenshan felt his head buzzing.

One second they were dreaming of a leisurely life.

The city of Jiangcheng is about to descend into chaos.

If Shen Tian doesn't have solid evidence, the subsequent impact will be immeasurable.

Provincial authorities, media, public opinion...

Those spittle could drown Qin Zhenshan!

Qin Zhenshan was like a furious lion. He turned into a blur and smashed through the floor-to-ceiling window, leaping off the dozens of stories high.

Chi Xiao looked at the broken window, shook his head, and laughed until tears almost came out.

"interesting."

"That's fucking interesting."

"I got to see such a great show before I left."

He reached out and the heavy sword on his back fell into his hand.

"How could I miss out on such a lively event?"

"I've disliked those bastards from the Li family for a long time."

boom!

Another loud bang.

Chixiao also jumped down.

Only the poor communications staff officer remained, kneeling in the messy office, facing the howling wind, wanting to cry but having no tears.

They're leaving already?

Nobody has told me how to write this report yet?!
