I was kicked out of the house, and I was reborn and became the emperor

Shangguan Yu's brows flashed with hesitation when he heard this. He knew that he had discouraged the generals when he first took over the command, and this battle would undoubtedly be difficult.

"Considering the prestige of the King of Zhenbei, I will give him a lighter sentence for now. Drag him out and give him twenty strokes of the cane. If he commits the same offense again, I will never forgive him!" He finally made the decision. When everyone heard his words, the heavy stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

Shangguan Muzhan quietly moved to Fang Yi's side and whispered with disdain: "You, a mere idiot, dare to challenge me?"

Fang Yi looked dazed, and in an instant, he felt the urge to draw his sword. Today's shame can only be washed away with blood!

The next day, in Fang Yi’s tent in the Akabane Camp.

Bai Yujing and the others gathered around Fang Yi's bed. His buttocks were covered with wounds and blood after being tortured. Fang Yi lay quietly, and it was probably difficult for him to get out of bed in a short time.

"General, none of these guys from the capital are good people! How can we swallow this when they jump to conclusions without any verification?" Chang Zhen was impatient and was the first to speak out in anger.

"You want to retreat now? Those powerful people are much more hateful than you can imagine. Our mission is to eliminate these evil people, not to be cowards!" Bai Yujing rebuked loudly, with a fierce look in his eyes.

"General, there is something. The body of the woman we rescued yesterday was abandoned near the barracks this morning, and... she was obviously abused." Lu Qi lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Fang Yi.

“What!” Fang Yi was furious. This group of people were guilty of an unforgivable crime. An innocent life was lost just like that. His eyes were burning with anger. “Give them a proper burial. We will get back at them sooner or later!”

After everyone left, Fang Yi gradually calmed down and asked himself:

Do I have this ability?

No!

Then go for it!

I will climb up step by step and gain power! One day, I will make the Shangguan family pay a heavy price for their actions today! I will eliminate the injustice in the world and expose the evil deeds of bullying the weak!

Fang Yi's eyes became determined. From this moment on, he had a new goal in life. Although the road was difficult, he vowed to move forward courageously!

On a small hillside on the outskirts of Youzhou city, a new tomb stood silently, with incense, candles and paper money gently swaying in front of the tomb. Fang Yi, Chang Zhen, Lu Qi and Bai Yujing stood solemnly in front of it, mourning without saying a word.

They didn't know the woman's name, nor where she came from, but she awakened the justice in people's hearts with her life, and used her innocence to tear apart the hypocritical veil of the wealthy and powerful.

"From now on, I swear to stand on the top of the empire and eliminate the injustice in the world! In the future, I will bring the head of the Shangguan family to pay tribute to you at your grave!"

The four of them bowed deeply and did not stand up for a long time.

Not far away, a figure in a white robe stood quietly, watching the scene silently.

In the bitter winter, the New Year is coming, and Youzhou City becomes more prosperous because of these wealthy young men, with lights and decorations all over the city, but no one notices how many shadows are hidden behind this bustle.

The war is about to begin, but the city is still filled with laughter and joy, as if everything is so harmonious. However, the truth is often hidden beneath the glitz.

……

In the eighteenth spring of Taining, the war drums roared and the mighty army set out, heading straight for the magnificent land of Jiayuguan.

As spring warms up, the Jurchen cavalry appear in droves in the territory a hundred miles outside Jiayuguan Pass. The dull atmosphere of impending storm is a prelude to the gathering war clouds.

In the meeting hall inside the pass, many generals gathered. Shangguan Yu planned and devised a brilliant strategy. He borrowed the hands of noble children and brought along the family's private soldiers. It was called training, but in fact it was to wipe out the enemy's vanguard.

At this time, the enemy's forces were scattered, with dozens of cavalrymen galloping or hundreds of cavalrymen galloping. Shangguan Yu was convinced that the private army alliance was enough to keep the enemy out.

In addition, elite cavalry from the northern border and Youzhou were sent to patrol the area to be prepared for any emergency.

Everyone in the hall knew clearly that this action was just an opportunity for these descendants of nobles to gain military merit before the enemy arrived. It was a drama that everyone knew about.

Fang Yi was alone in the corner, sneering secretly. The Chiyu Camp was also drawn into this seemingly child's play battle, and he had an ominous premonition that the war might be lost.

After the meeting, all the generals returned to the camp. When Fang Yifu walked out of the camp, he unexpectedly met an old acquaintance and his face suddenly turned cold.

"Oh, isn't this Earl Zhongyong? His leg disease has recovered. He is a military man, so he recovered quickly. Haha."

The man, Shangguan Muzhan, came forward with a provocative look on his face, and whispered coldly, "Your 'burden' has been completely resolved, and it's very satisfying."

Fang Yi's expression froze, and just as he was about to explode, he heard a burst of mocking laughter passing through the hall:

"When did the Shangguan family learn to argue with scholars? They are called the sons of generals, but where is their manliness? Do you dare to have a real fight?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man dressed in snow-white, with a handsome appearance and a warm smile. He looked like the rebirth of Baiyujing. Behind him were several young talents with extraordinary family backgrounds.

Fang Yi was puzzled. Who was this person?

It seems like he is deliberately helping me out?

"So it's the eldest young master of the Xue family. Are you here to help someone out today because you have some free time?"

When Shangguan Muzhan saw the person coming, his tone turned evil.

"I don't dare to take the lead, but I feel that since we are in the same military camp, it is more appropriate to resolve the dispute in a more manly way."

The young man in white smiled calmly.

Shangguan Muzhan admitted defeat. Recalling their last confrontation, he knew that he was no match for Fang Yi. He could only glare at the two of them hatefully before leaving in dismay.

Both the Xue and Shangguan families are prominent families, and it is difficult for them to compete openly, but they are also constantly fighting secretly.

Fang Yi looked meaningfully at the long-renowned heir of the Qingzhou Xue family - Xue Jinghan, the future leader of the Chu Party, with a great reputation.

"Thanks for the help!"

Fang Yi bowed to express his thanks and was about to leave.

Xue Jinghan took a quick step forward and said, "Brother Fang, would you like to move to the camp and discuss the details?"

Fang Yi frowned slightly. Although he accepted Xue Jinghan's feelings, he was tired of the feuds among the wealthy families.

"I am busy with military duties. I am sorry that I cannot comply with your order. Please forgive me!" After saying that, Fang Yi turned and left. Xue Jinghan stood there with an embarrassed look on his face. In the camp, few people dared to offend him.

Behind Xue Jinghan, the young men from Qingzhou were talking about it, dissatisfied with Fang Yi's rudeness.

"A mere earl is so ungrateful and unworthy of your help."

Xue Jinghan waved his hand and said, "No problem, this person is quite interesting."

"Interesting? He's just an earl. How could the Xue family be less interested?" Everyone was puzzled.

Xue Jinghan put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "You all know that he is the commander of the Chiyu Camp. You will know it once you enter the Chiyu Camp."

After saying this, Xue Jinghan leisurely returned to the camp, leaving behind a group of followers looking around in confusion.

……

Fang Yi returned to the camp and told Bai Yujing in detail about his encounter with Xue Jinghan just now. He secretly wondered what Xue Jinghan's intention was. Was he planning to set up a secret trap?

After hearing this, Bai Yujing was also confused.

"I heard that the eldest young master of the Xue family is different from ordinary rich young men. Although he behaves unrestrainedly, he never robs others by force. He advocates mutual affection and hates those dandy behaviors. Therefore, the young talents in the Qingzhou officialdom are more upright than those in other places."
