On the Red Dust Continent, there were numerous empires. This was a place called the Chu Country.

The Chu Country was located in the southwest corner of the land. Although it couldn't be considered powerful among the empires, it wasn't weak either. The king of the Chu Country was made king by the citizens. He was the founder of the country, and was loved and respected by the citizens.

In the Chu Country, there was a powerful family that fought alongside Lord Chu in his campaign to help the empire! This family was named Jiang!

There were many servants in the Jiang manor, and even more were maintaining the clan's operations.

A beautiful lady was standing on top of a pavilion, holding a baby in her arms as she looked towards the north.

"Madam Jiang, the weather is cold. Be careful of your body," a servant said to the beautiful woman from behind.

"Young Master, is there any news?" The beautiful lady asked.

"Madam Jiang, report to me that General Jiang is on his way back. He will be back in two days," Shaoqing replied.

The beautiful woman nodded and lowered her head to look at the infant in her arms, revealing a sweet smile.

"This time General Jiang has returned, he should not be leaving …" The beautiful lady mumbled.

"Madam Jiang, I'm afraid this will be difficult. The empire has just been established and a general like General Jiang is still needed. It's unlikely that Lord Chu will allow General Jiang to spend the rest of the year with him."

Two days later, within the imperial city, thousands of imperial guards were deployed in the direction of the Jiang family!

On the way, the people on the street were pointing at them.

"The Janissaries are on the move! "Could it be that there's some big movement?" A passerby frowned and asked.

"The direction they're heading towards is General Jiang's house!" Perhaps something big had happened to the Jiang family! "Otherwise, we wouldn't have sent out the imperial guards!" a passerby said.

"Sigh, the empire has gradually stabilized. I'm afraid that Lord Chu will have to clean up those who have done too much!"

"Shh!" Lower your voice! Aren't you afraid of being overheard!? I'm afraid even ten heads won't be enough! "

In front of the imperial guards, there was a man in golden armor leading the group. There was a deep scar across his face! It was caused by the war, and it told of his glorious past!

"Boss, the Jiang family has arrived!" "Should we go in now?" A person reported from behind the golden-armored man.

"Don't move for now. The Jiang family has always done a great service to the empire. Lord Chu said that they must be courteous before they take action." The man in golden armor stepped down from his horse and slowly entered the Jiang family's gate.

"Madam, the head of the imperial guards, Zhang Yuan, has come to see you!" Outside the door, a guard came to report.

A family with a prominent position like the Jiang family naturally had quite a few guards.

"Zhang Yuan? What was he doing here? Bring him in. "

"Madam Jiang." The golden-armored general walked in and cupped his fists towards the beautiful woman as he greeted her.

"Zhang Yuan, what is the meaning behind bringing the imperial guards to my Jiang manor? When the beautiful woman saw Zhang Yuan, she did not welcome him at all. If this was a normal situation, the Jiang family would naturally welcome him very tightly. However, in this kind of situation, it would have to be a different matter.

Furthermore, Zhang Yuan had once been a subordinate of General Jiang, but now he had broken away from the Jiang family army and was working for the imperial government!

"Madame Jiang!" You may not know about this, but I only came in because of the general's kindness! Back then, during the general's expedition to the north and south, he picked me up by the roadside. That is why I, Zhang Yuan, am here today! But did Madame know? This time, it was Lord Chu who gave the order! The general had not returned to the capital for a long time, and another treacherous official in the court had slandered the general! He said that the general was colluding with foreign countries and was plotting against them! I've come this time to watch over the Jiang family! "No one is allowed to enter or leave!" Zhang Yuan revealed the inner workings of what happened, and when the beautiful woman heard it, she tightly frowned!

"How is this possible!?" General Jiang had done his best for Chu! "Faithful and loyal!" The beautiful lady said loudly.

"Madam Jiang, I'm not the one who should be thinking about this matter. Everything will be decided by Lord Chu!" Zhang Yuan said.

After a while, the beautiful lady nodded her head. Although Zhang Yuan was the head of the Chu Country's Royal Guard, he was still unable to control Lord Chu's thoughts!

An army of one hundred thousand men was moving forward slowly on the military road. On the black flags were words: "Reporting to the River"!

This army was extremely terrifying, even in Chu, they had an extremely high reputation! He was known as the Jiang family's army!

The Jiang family army had fought for the southern and northern wars in Chu, and had rendered great service to the country. They had also been conferred the title of the nation's general by King Chu, and after the founding of Chu, they had invaded foreign lands, and the Chu family army had defended the country from foreign enemies for more than ten years.

"Reporting!" A soldier rode on a horse to report in the direction of Chu. This person was one of the vanguards of the Jiang Clan, a person who was specifically searching for information.

The person arrived in front of the great army and dismounted. He knelt down on one knee in front of a tall and mighty general and reported, "General Jiang! There are guards coming from the front! "

"Guards? "What are the royal guards doing here at this time?" General Jiang's brow creased as he spoke.

These Royal Guards were the core forces that protected the Royal Capital of Chu. Their troops were all sent out from the various armies, and they were the elites among the elites.

"General!" I'm afraid they did not come with good intentions! "

General Jiang raised his hand and said, "Left guardian! The royal guard is Lord Chu's representative, you cannot speak carelessly! "

This group of imperial guards only numbered around ten people. Each of them rode fast horses at an extremely fast speed. Two hours later, the imperial guards arrived at the front of the army.

Jiang Shang dismounted from his horse and knelt on one knee, "This humble official accepts the decree!"

"General Jiang Shang, it's been ten years since we last met. The widows even miss the place where the Jiang family army is resting. General Jiang Shang should return to the city as soon as possible. The widows have something to discuss," the guard announced.

"Your subject accepts the edict!" Jiang Shang slowly stood up and took the edict.

"General Jiang, there is something I don't know if I should say or not say." The person who delivered the royal decree said.

"Please speak." Jiang Shang said.

"We have heard of the mighty General. Although we were the Wei Jia Army back then, we still respected and respected him greatly!" Ten years had passed, but the empire had changed! "It is also the general protecting the country that I dare to speak such words. Perhaps Lord Chu wishes to harm the general!" The messenger spoke.

"How dare you!" How dare he be so disrespectful to Lord Chu! "Do you know that I can kill you right here!?" Jiang Shang was furious!

Jiang Shang raised his head to look at the sky, and after a long while, he let out a long sigh: "You all know, this has plunged me into an unjust place! I, Jiang Shang, cannot do such a thing! Let's go, we will meet Lord Chu when we enter! "

Jiang Shang and those ten plus guards rode their horses and quickly left for the city!

Night. At the Jiang manor entrance.

The sound of horse hooves came from afar. Zhang Yuan frowned slightly. Listening to the sound of horse hooves, there were quite a lot of people coming! And their voices were organized. It should be a well-trained army!

Zhang Yuan immediately entered the Jiang manor to meet Lady Jiang!

"Zhang Yuan, what brings you here so late in the night?"

"Madame Jiang, a large group of people are heading towards the Jiang manor!" It was most likely due to bad intentions! Now, General Jiang's news was unknown! I'm afraid there are people in the court who want to target the Jiang family! "I hope Lady Jiang can make up her mind as soon as possible!" Zhang Yuan said while cupping his fists.

Madame Jiang thought for a moment and had long since thought things through. She had long since heard rumors and rumors about the situation, but she hadn't thought that anyone would actually go against the Jiang family.

Madame Jiang picked up a baby from the bed and sent a servant out. Soon, an elderly man arrived.

"Father, please forgive the changes in the Jiang family and the places that your daughter-in-law interrupts!" "Please take Shui'er out of the prefecture and come back after this matter is settled," said Madame Jiang.

"Humph!" What blind thing dared to touch the Jiang family? "This old man will chop him in half with a few axes!" The elder roared in anger.

"Uncle!" "This time, it's probably Lord Chu's wish." Zhang Yuan said from the side.

"Zhang boy! "You followed my son for so many years, did he do anything to let Chu down!?" The old man questioned.

"Uncle, General Jiang is very loyal to Chu!" Zhang Yuan said while cupping his fists.

The old man nodded, and then sighed: "Ai, I told him before that it was not a good thing to shake the world! Who would have thought that it would actually happen today! Forget it! The elder took the baby from Madame Jiang's arms and left the Jiang family through the back door, borrowing the cover of the night to leave under the cover of the Jiang family!

Beneath the thick and heavy city walls, a vigorous figure was pedalling on the tall city walls, leaving most of the city behind him.

At the top of a mountain, an old man was looking at the Jiang family from afar.

The old man dotingly looked at the infant in his arms as he dived into a nearby forest.
