Chapter 140: Threat and Benwang will decide for you
Xiao Tianyaos army is the strongest soldier in all over the four countries!
So, no matter who the general is, to win this war, he must use Xiao Tianyaos soldiers on the front line!
And in order to achieve that goal, the emperor secretly gave an order that he allows those group of soldiers to come forward!
Xiao Tianyaos army might be the strongest soldiers in all the four countries, but without a talented general to lead. Those soldiers wont be able to perform their utmost strength on the battlefield.
A raging soldier will only fall in the enemys lair. So, Su Cha and Liu Bai wanted to know who Xiao Tianyao is thinking to lead his army. They cannot afford to lose those 300 000 soldiers.
So, Liu Bai persuades Xiao Tianyao earlier to let Meng Family lead his army. He persuades him hoping that with Meng Familys hands, theyll be able to keep those soldiers. Unfortunately, no one has the right to question Xiao Tianyaos decision.
Due to the heated moment earlier, Su Cha took the initiative to open his mouth and asked. The two of them waited for a long time to hear an answer, but
Xiao Tianyao didnt give them a positive response. Instead, he only said: Benwang cannot decide who will lead the army. It is for the emperor to decide. The only thing he can do is, to keep his soldiers alive no matter who leads them.
This answer he gave made Su Cha and Liu Bai felt uneasy. Su Cha was able to hold his thoughts, but Liu Bai cannot tolerate it. So, he jumped up and said: Wangye, dont you care about your 300 000 soldiers lives? Is he still the same Xiao Tianyao that I know?
When did benwang said that he doesnt care about their lives?
Then, you Liu Bai hasnt finished saying his words, but Su Cha interrupted him: Wangye, has his own plan. You dont need to worry too much. Su Cha said because he believes Xiao Tianyao is not childish.
But If he wont know the answer, he wont be able to sleep.
Why are you asking so many questions? Lets go, come with me now. Seeing that Xiao Tianyao didnt look at them, Su Cha dragged Liu Bai out completely.
Why are you pulling me out? I havent finished saying my words.
Xiao Tianyao could still hear Liu Bai whining words.
Say what? Wangye has said all the things he needs now. He must have a reason to say those things. Su Cha is not angry with Liu Bai. But because he cares about their brotherhood, he needed to stop him to avoid death.
Since there is a reason for that, then why he didnt tell us to ease our worries?
Liu Bai has many shortcomings, but he has one thing that anyone couldnt compare. And that is his loyalty to Xiao Tianyao. Even Su Cha cannot compare to this loyalty of him, but
If things are not clear to him, his loyalty becomes useless. Xiao Tianyao doesnt want to get on Liu Bais good side, only for his decision to stop.

Xiao Tianyao who was sitting alone in his study room send a letter to Lin Chujiu. He wanted her to wait for him because he had something to say.
Only two days left after another month of their appointed date, so Lin Chujiu had guessed why Xiao Tianyao wanted to see her, but
She actually hasnt figured out what to do!
Well, Lin Chujiu admits that she is avoiding reality. And she knows that she can only make a decision until the very last moment.
And just like what Lin Chujiu had guessed, when Xiao Tianyao came in, the very first sentence he said is: Have you decided?
Lin Chujiu havent said anything, but Xiao Tianyao continued: If you havent decided yet, then benwang will decide for you.
Lin Chujiu stayed silent and just sits there quietly with an emotionless face. However, Xiao Tianyao didnt pay attention to it and just continue: The emperor had sent an imperial edict to Guo Gongfu. He appointed your uncle to be the general of 500 000 soldiers that will defeat the Northern Countrys army.
Despite her calmness, Lin Chujiu admits that its not easy to avoid looking at Xiao Tianyao. She lifted her eyes and look at him, then said: The north and east country had a fight? The women inside the mansion are really pitiful. Because they dont what is happening outside.
Mmm. East has already lost three cities and many soldiers. Northern Countrys army is not an easy opponent. Xiao Tianyao added two more information so that Lin Chujiu will know how cruel the northern army is.
North Country attacked the east because of you, right? Although Lin Chujiu was asking, her tone sounds like she was positive. Regardless of what Xiao Tianyao replied. Lin Chujiu said: Wangye, if you also want to go to the war, then you should have pressured the emperor. I dont believe you have such long temper.
That is not important. Xiao Tianyao doesnt care what Lin Chujiu think of him: Right now, you only have two choices. Treat benwangs legs or let your uncle go to war.
In order to help Lin Chujiu make a decision, Xiao Tianyao deliberately made up a sentence: You should know by now that with your uncles ability, its a miracle if he comes back alive. Xiao Tianyao doesnt despise Meng Shi, but if he really goes to war, his death is only a matter of time.
The original Lin Chujiu and her three uncles are not close. But from her memories, Lin Chujiu understands that Xiao Tianyaos words are not false. And its true, if her uncle goes to the war, only death awaits him.
Lin Chujiu and her uncles have no affection for each other. And if Meng Laofuren didnt visit her before, she wouldnt care about his life. But now
Just by remembering Meng Laofurens face, Lin Chujiu couldnt afford to refuse.
You win! Lin Chujiu didnt expect that Xiao Tianyao will use this trick to force her nod her head. Her heart has this indescribable anger, but she could only hold it back.
Xiao Tianyaos lips curve into a smile and chuckle a bit before he said: You didnt lose. He hasnt done what he truly wants to do. Similarly, he hasnt get back his own people.
Lin Chujiu snorted and asked: How are you going to save my uncle?
Its very difficult to make a person into a great general, but its very easy to make a person useless. Xiao Tianyao said. Then, he gently rubbing his thumb and ask: Do you want him to get a serious disease or a serious injury?
Xiao Tianyao always gives Lin Chujiu choices. But in fact, he leaves her no other choice but to give him an answer.
Lin Chujiu snapped and said: Upon receiving the imperial edict he acquired a serious disease? Who would believe that? The more she speaks to him, the more Lin Chujiu find him hateful. Especially, that smile on his face is so annoying.
Then, it has to be a serious injury. The more Lin Chujiu gets angry, the more Xiao Tianyaos smile grows big: The day you will treat benwang is the day that your uncle will get an injury.
A threat!
Lin Chujiu almost explode. After all, she had never seen such a despicable person.
What? You cant decide when? Do you want benwang to decide for you? With Xiao Tianyaos words, Lin Chujiu shouted angrily: Tomorrow!
Good, benwang will wait for you. Xiao Tianyao said with full of joy.
On the contrary, compared to her emotionless face before, Lin Chujiu who is now angry become more lovely and livelier in his eyes
