Phi-Fic Chapter 830 Tian Yu's Admiration
Chapter 830 Tian Yu's Admiration
At this time, only Li Qiao came to see him, but Li Mingyuan was nowhere to be seen.
This inevitably led Tian Yu to some uneasy speculations, wondering if Li Mingyuan had passed away.
After all, Li Mingyuan was already seventy years old. In Kyushu, where the average lifespan was only thirty or forty years, Li Mingyuan's age was considered long-lived, and he could pass away at any time.
"Don't worry, Brother Tian, Uncle Li is doing well!"
"That's fine, that's fine!"
Tian Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and then invited the four people into the mansion to sit down.
After all four of them were seated in the hall, Tian Yu noticed Chen Dao and the other two and asked in confusion, "Brother Li, who are these people?"
"Let me introduce you to Brother Tian!"
With a mocking look in his eyes, Li Qiao first introduced Yang Zheng to Tian Yu: "This man is named Yang Zheng. I'm sure Brother Tian has heard of him!"
"Yang Zheng!"
Tian Yu's pupils contracted.
Of course he knows who Yang Zheng is!
Let alone a high-ranking general like Tian Yu, even the children of Kyushu know the name Yang Zheng!
The titles bestowed upon Yang Zheng by the people of Kyushu—the biggest rebel in Kyushu, a ruthless executioner, a butcher, a tyrant, and King Yang—are enough to demonstrate just how well-known Yang Zheng is in Kyushu.
In fact, although Tian Yu had never met Yang Zheng, the two had had contact, and it was through that contact that Tian Yu developed a very good impression of Yang Zheng.
But what Tian Yu never expected was that Yang Zheng, this top-ranking traitor, would actually come to visit him, a general of the imperial court...
You must know that Tian Yu is an official of the imperial court, while Yang Zheng is a thief recognized by the court. The two are naturally irreconcilable enemies. Who gave Yang Zheng the audacity to visit my residence?
Isn't he afraid that if he were arrested, he could claim credit from the imperial court?
"Yang Tianwang is quite bold!"
Tian Yu gave Yang Zheng a deep look and said meaningfully.
"General Tian, you flatter me!"
Yang Zheng naturally understood the deeper meaning in Tian Yu's words, but he was not afraid. If Tian Yu wanted to harm him, he would have done so long ago and wouldn't have wasted so much time talking.
"Isn't King Yang afraid I'll kill you?"
"Of course I'm afraid."
Yang Zheng smiled and said, "But General Tian wouldn't do that, would he?"
Upon hearing this, Tian Yu remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.
He would not lay a hand on Yang Zheng, because killing Yang Zheng or arresting him and handing him over to the court for punishment would not benefit him or his ideals in any way!
What is Tian Yu's greatest ideal?
It means to kill the barbarians, to wipe them all out, so that the barbarians will never be able to invade the Nine Provinces again.
To realize this ideal, Tian Yu was willing to live a life of poverty. Even when the imperial court withheld the Great Wall Army's pay, he still tried his best to keep the Great Wall Army going.
To achieve this ideal, even though the imperial court ordered him to lead troops to quell the rebellion several times, and each time the tone was more severe, Tian Yu did not hesitate to bear the name of disobeying the imperial order!
Even as the court was on the verge of collapse, Tian Yu never wavered in his pursuit of this ideal.
In Tian Yu's heart, the responsibility of resisting the barbarians far outweighed his loyalty to the imperial court!
Therefore, even though Yang Zheng, the number one traitor, was right in his own mansion, right in front of him, Tian Yu did not have the slightest intention of harming Yang Zheng.
For no other reason than that Yang Zheng shared the same ideals as him and was willing to do his best to resist the barbarians on the grasslands!
After giving Yang Zheng a deep look, Tian Yu turned to Chen Dao and Chen Cheng and asked, "And who are these two?"
Upon hearing this question, Li Qiao smiled but did not answer directly. Instead, he asked Tian Yu, "Brother Tian, you must have heard of Chen Family Village?"
"heard about it."
Tian Yu nodded without hesitation. Chenjia Village's reputation had spread throughout the Nine Provinces. Ordinary people might be out of touch with the locals and not have heard of Chenjia Village, but well-informed military officers like Tian Yu had certainly heard of it.
"This is Chen Dao, the master of Chen Family Village!"
Li Qiao said, "And the man beside him is Chen Dao's bodyguard, Chen Cheng!"
Master of Chenjia Village!
Upon hearing this name, Tian Yuhu was visibly shaken, his expression even more shocked than when he first learned of Yang Zheng's identity!
Don't assume that Tian Yu, being stationed at the Great Wall, is unaware of the situation in Kyushu. In fact, Tian Yu has never relaxed his attention to the situation in Kyushu.
It was precisely because he kept a close eye on Kyushu that Tian Yu learned of the existence of Chenjia Village!
According to what he knew, Chenjia Village was a paradise-like place where everyone could eat their fill, stay warm, and live a decent life.
To be honest, when Tian Yu first learned of the existence of Chenjia Village, he almost thought he was listening to a myth!
Having lived for decades, Tian Yutai knew exactly what kind of life the people of Kyushu lived. He simply did not believe that a place like Chenjia Village could exist in the world!
It was with this in mind that Tian Yu intensified his efforts to gather information about Chenjia Village!
The information gathered was clearly telling Tian Yu that Chenjia Village was real, and even more amazing than he had imagined!
Not only is everyone in Chenjia Village well-fed and clothed, but the village also boasts incredibly magical livestock such as Blood Feather Chicken and Crimson Blood Chicken, which can aid martial artists in their cultivation, bringing a continuous stream of wealth to Chenjia Village…
The more Tian Yu learned about Chenjia Village, the more alarmed he became. He even couldn't help but fantasize about how wonderful it would be if the various military towns behind the Great Wall could be as prosperous as Chenjia Village.
Everyone being well-fed and clothed means that the people in the military town are physically stronger. Stronger bodies mean they can withstand more intense training and kill more barbarians on the battlefield...
In short, in Tian Yu's heart, Chenjia Village was an incredibly magical place, and the village chief who led the villagers to a prosperous life was someone he admired immensely!
He even considered visiting the head of Chenjia Village, hoping to learn from him how to make the people live a prosperous life. However, because he needed to guard the Great Wall and could not travel there, this idea had to be abandoned.
However, Tian Yu did not visit the head of Chen Family Village, but the head of Chen Family Village came to visit him in person...
This undoubtedly surprised and delighted Tian Yu!
He couldn't help but stand up, face Chen Dao, and excitedly ask, "Are you really Mr. Chen Dao?"
If others saw Tian Yu's performance, they would probably be quite surprised!
It should be noted that even when faced with the "angels" sent by the imperial court to read out imperial edicts, Tian Yu had never reacted so violently.
At this moment, facing a young boy, Tian Yu was so excited that he even used a respectful title.
This scene was enough to leave anyone unaware of the inside story bewildered and confused.
