The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

Upon hearing the news that Fang Quan and his army had arrived, Duan Tianyang could not hide his joy. He went out of the city in person to greet them grandly outside the South City Gate.

When the two men met, Fang Quan immediately dismounted, stepped forward quickly, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together, and said in a loud voice: "General Fang Quan, I pay my respects to you, sir!"

Afterwards, his advisers and generals followed suit, kneeling on the ground and saluting, shouting in unison: "Your Excellency, we pay our respects to you!"

Duan Tianyang smiled, walked quickly forward, and helped Fang Quan up personally. He glanced at everyone present and waved his hand gently, saying, "We are all brothers. There is no need to be so polite. Get up quickly!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Duan Tianyang held Fang Quan's arm tightly and looked him up and down.

This was the first time the two met. When Fang Quan joined the Hongxing Army, Duan Tianyang was fighting against the Jin Army in the Qinba tribe.

He smiled and said to Fang Quan: "General Fang, we finally meet."

Although Duan Tianyang is young, he has an extremely outstanding appearance and extraordinary temperament. Even Fang Quan, who has seen countless people, cannot help but be shocked by him.

He bowed slightly, his tone revealing awe and humility: "Yes, I have been farming in Dongguan before, and I was unable to pay my respects to you in time. I hope you will forgive me."

Duan Tianyang replied with a smile: "General Fang has made great contributions to the Hongxing Army by cultivating the land in Dongguan. What crime has he committed? Please come into the city and we will discuss it in detail."

Duan Tianyang personally welcomed Fang Quan into Shengluo City. This move not only gave Fang enough face, but also gave his subordinates a reassurance.

This action shows that Duan Tianyang had no intention of killing them, and his decision to come to Saint Luo City was correct.

That night, the city lord's mansion of Shengluo City was brightly lit and a grand banquet was held. Duan Tianyang specially hosted a welcome party for Fang Quan, and the generals and advisers of the Hongxing Army were all invited.

The Hongxing Army today is no longer what it used to be.

The direct force under Duan Tianyang was close to 200,000, and Fang Quan's army followed closely behind with more than 80,000 soldiers. Dong Zhi and An Qinshan combined had 100,000 soldiers.

In addition to the rebel forces that surrendered from several directions, the total number of troops exceeded 400,000.

In the City Lord's Mansion, there were many generals and counselors, and hundreds of people gathered together. Even the spacious hall seemed stretched, and the banquet had to be extended to the front yard. Round tables were laid out on both sides of the main road. All the seats were occupied, and the place was bustling with people, laughter, and a jubilant scene.

Just as everyone was immersed in laughter, Duan Tianyang slowly stood up and raised his glass to signal. In an instant, the noise stopped abruptly and all eyes were focused on him.

He looked around, smiling, and said in a loud voice: "Since Zhou Baiyuan caused chaos in Xiguan, this place has been torn apart, the war has been continuous, and the people have been displaced and miserable. Today, our Hongxing Army has unified Xiguan with the force of thunder, ended the endless wars, and brought long-lost peace to this land. Such a feat is indeed a happy event worthy of our celebration. Generals and gentlemen, please raise your glasses with me to the rebirth of Xiguan, to our unity and victory!"

After he finished speaking, everyone in the room stood up and clinked their cups together, the sound of their toasts resounding through the sky.

An Qinshan smiled from ear to ear, and added: "The prosperity of Xiguan today is all due to your wise leadership. We should pay you the highest respect!"

After he finished speaking, Dong Zhi quickly echoed: "That's right. If it weren't for you, how could Xiguan be as prosperous as it is today? Respect to you, sir!"

However, this harmonious atmosphere suddenly changed because of Fang Quan's words.

Fang Quan held the wine glass in his hand, with a mocking smile on his face, and said in a gloomy tone: "Back then, some people followed Zhou Baiyuan closely and led their troops to attack our Xiguan Pass. Now that Zhou Baiyuan has lost power, they have become fence-sitters and surrendered to you. This kind of shamelessness is rare in the world!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was in an uproar, and all the generals under Fang Quan's command burst into laughter.

Upon hearing this, An Qinshan and Dong Zhi's faces suddenly changed, their anger was evident in their words, and their eyes almost spitted fire.

Their generals could no longer hold back, and they all stood up and pointed at Fang Quan, shouting, "Fang Quan, how dare you slander our general like this?"

Fang Quan's generals were not willing to be outdone. They stood up one after another, swords drawn, and both sides glared at each other. The atmosphere was extremely tense.

Duan Tianyang, who was sitting in the center, uttered a dissatisfied sound. He looked around at the generals who were ready to make a move and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing? Do you think I don't exist?"

His dissatisfaction was clearly revealed. Dong Zhi, An Qinshan and Fang Quan signaled to their generals to sit down with their eyes.

The generals glared at him, and although they felt dissatisfied in their hearts, they finally sat back in their chairs indignantly.

Duan Tianyang glanced at everyone and said solemnly, "I don't care what grudges you had in the past. Since you have joined the Hongxing Army, you are our brothers. You keep making sarcastic remarks and even drawing your swords against each other. How can this be what brothers do?"

Fang Quan curled his lips, obviously sneering at this.

Dong Zhi and An Qinshan's eyes were slightly red. They saluted Duan Tianyang respectfully and said in a trembling voice: "Sir, since we joined your army, you have treated us with great courtesy. We are grateful. But Fang Quan's words are really too much. Sir, please make a decision for us."

Hearing what the two said, Fang's face turned pale and he almost wanted to stand up, but Duan Tianyang waved his hand gently and said to Dong Zhi and An Qinshan in a gentle voice: "General Fang has a straightforward personality. His words just now may have offended me. I hope you two generals will forgive me."

After saying this, he gently shook the fine wine in the glass and said sincerely: "Please allow me to use this wine to apologize to the two of you!"

Dong Zhi and An Qinshan stood up hurriedly, raised their glasses with both hands, and responded respectfully: "How dare we, sir!"

Duan Tianyang glanced at everyone at the table and smiled: "Come on, let's have a drink together. From now on, we will work together, put aside our past grudges, and create the glory of the Hongxing Army!"

After he finished speaking, the sound of "Cheers" echoed throughout the banquet hall. Everyone drank it all in one gulp, and the atmosphere became more heated.

During the banquet, people toasted each other and Duan Tianyang became the object of everyone's toast.

It can be seen that he was really happy today. He was smiling the whole time and he toasted everyone who came to toast him.

Soon, he had drunk more than ten cups, his cheeks flushed and his smile became even more intense.

The atmosphere at the banquet gradually became better, and everyone's initial restraint disappeared, replaced by a bohemian and unrestrained atmosphere.

During the banquet, maids moved lightly around, carrying fine wine and delicious food, like a spring breeze blowing on your face.

Many generals' eyes lingered on the maids, and finally they could not help themselves and embraced the passing maids in their arms.

They touched the maids all over, rubbing and kneading them, causing the maids to scream one after another.

These generals basically belonged to the newly defected rebel camp and used to do as they pleased.

At the beginning of the banquet, they were able to restrain themselves in front of Duan Tianyang, but after a few drinks, their true natures were revealed and they began to act as if no one was around.
