Chu Tianjiao put down his tea cup, stood up, walked to the railing and looked at the distant mountains, with his back to Xiao Zining.

"Behind the transfer of military power is the will of a group of old-school dignitaries in Kyoto, and even the entire powerful family in China."

"This, of course, includes my Chu family."

"Oh, by the way... After you leave the field, you, Xiao Zining, are just a martial artist. Without the blessing of a halo, what do you think..."

"Are those powerful families you once offended still afraid of you?"

"There are undercurrents surging inside and outside Kyoto, just because of you."

"Xiao Zining, you are really proud of yourself!"

"However... these dozens of great masters, including many hidden old monsters, are waiting for you in the dark. If you dare to go to Kyoto, you will definitely die."

"That's all I've said, so you can take care of yourself!"

Xiao Zining smiled calmly and said, "Thank you for the reminder."

"However, I always like to have a beginning and an end when doing things."

"I won't congratulate you here first. I will congratulate you in person when you wear your handsome robe."

Xiao Zining drank the tea in one gulp.

Turn around and leave.

"Humph, you are so stubborn." Chu Tianjiao snorted coldly and glanced sideways at Xiao Zining who was coming down the mountain. There was no expression on his stern face.

He remembered that the first time he met Xiao Zining, he looked like this.

He is obviously just a new recruit, but he has an indomitable drive, never bows his head, never bends down, and is not afraid of anyone.

Before Xiao Zining entered the war department, he was already a general in the northern border.

At that time, he was only in his early twenties, and he had already made great achievements in battle. At this age, he was an extremely talented person in the Northern War Department.

Based on his performance, it is almost certain that he will become the new generation leader in the North.

His family had great expectations for him, and he even felt that that position must be his, and only he was worthy of sitting in that position.

Until——Xiao Zining appeared.

At first, he didn't care, and even thought that only someone as outstanding as Xiao Zining could become his friend.

They had become very close brothers for a while.

Until he became stronger and better, from an ordinary soldier to a young general, and then to his level...

Step by step, his light was gradually overshadowed by Xiao Zining.

In just a few years, his growth rate was terrifying. It seemed that Chu Tianjiao had not recovered yet, and Xiao Zining was already standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

In the end, he was defeated, defeated by Xiao Zining.

After the war of the century, they all received awards.

Xiao Zining took the position that originally belonged to him, the Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Territory.

And he was named the commander of the Northeast Field Army.

The Chu family was greatly hit by this incident, because the Chu family's fortune in Kyoto has been declining over the years and has gradually declined.

The Chu family desperately needs this honor and status to revive the Chu family's prestige in Kyoto.

In fact, he was okay. If he lost, he lost. His skills were not as good as others, so there was nothing to say.

But he lost to Xiao Zining. In the Chu family's view, it was Xiao Zining who took the position that originally belonged to him. If Xiao Zining hadn't come out of nowhere, that position would have belonged to him, Chu Tianjiao.

Chu Tianjiao smiled to himself, blew on the white smoke rising from the tea cup, and took a careful sip.

Those powerful people in Kyoto just wanted him to be their pawn.

It doesn't matter if it's a chess piece or not.

When he missed that position, the Chu family suffered a huge blow. This opportunity, the Chu family will not let go.

He, too.

——

"Xiao Feng, is the boss here?"

Qinglong's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Sir went to Jinling, and I didn't follow him. You can just contact him directly."

Xiao Feng flipped through the information in his hand with one hand.

"He can't get through on the phone. I have something to tell him..."

Qinglong was still talking on the phone. Suddenly, Xiao Feng seemed to see a black shadow flashing through the window out of the corner of his eye.

Xiao Feng turned around, but didn't see anything.

"I have something else to do, so I'll hang up first." Xiao Feng hung up the phone directly and glanced sharply at the yard outside the window.
