Chapter 140: Threat and Benw.a.n.g will decide for you
Xiao Tianyaoâs 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 Tianyaoâs 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 Tianyaoâs army might be the strongest soldiers in all the four countries, but without a talented general to lead. Those soldiers wonât be able to perform their utmost strength on the battlefield.
A raging soldier will only fall in the enemyâs 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 Familyâs hands, theyâll be able to keep those soldiers. Unfortunately, no one has the right to question Xiao Tianyaoâs 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⦠â¦
Xiao Tianyao didnât give them a positive response. Instead, he only said: âBenw.a.n.g cannot decide who will lead the army. It is for the emperor to decide.â 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: âw.a.n.gye, donât you care about your 300 000 soldierâs lives?â Is he still the same Xiao Tianyao that I know?
âWhen did benw.a.n.g said that he doesnât care about their lives?â
âThen, you ⦠â¦â Liu Bai hasnât finished saying his words, but Su Cha interrupted him: âw.a.n.gye, has his own plan. You donât need to worry too much.â Su Cha said because he believes Xiao Tianyao is not childish.
âBut ⦠â¦â If he wonât know the answer, he wonât be able to sleep.
âWhy are you asking so many questions? Letâs go, come with me now.â Seeing that Xiao Tianyao didnât look at them, Su Cha dragged Liu Bai out completely.
âWhy are you pulling me out? I havenât finished saying my words.â
Xiao Tianyao could still hear Liu Bai whining words.
âSay what? w.a.n.gye has said all the things he needs now. He must have a reason to say those things.â Su Cha is not angry with Liu Bai. But because he cares about their brotherhood, he needed to stop him to avoid death.
âSince there is a reason for that, then why he didnât tell us to ease our worries?â
Liu Bai has many shortcomings, but he has one thing that anyone couldnât compare. And that is his loyalty to Xiao Tianyao. Even Su Cha cannot compare to this loyalty of him, but⦠â¦
If things are not clear to him, his loyalty becomes useless. Xiao Tianyao doesnât want to get on Liu Baiâs 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⦠â¦
She actually hasnât 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: âHave you decided?â
Lin Chujiu havenât said anything, but Xiao Tianyao continued: âIf you havenât decided yet, then benw.a.n.g will decide for you.â
Lin Chujiu stayed silent and just sits there quietly with an emotionless face. However, Xiao Tianyao didnât pay attention to it and just continue: âThe 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 Countryâs army.â
Despite her calmness, Lin Chujiu admits that itâs 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?â The women inside the mansion are really pitiful. Because they donât what is happening outside.
âMmm. East has already lost three cities and many soldiers. Northern Countryâs army is not an easy opponent.â Xiao Tianyao added two more information so that Lin Chujiu will know how cruel the northern army is.
âNorth Country attacked the east because of you, right?â Although Lin Chujiu was asking, her tone sounds like she was positive. Regardless of what Xiao Tianyao replied. Lin Chujiu said: âw.a.n.gye, if you also want to go to the war, then you should have pressured the emperor. I donât believe you have such long temper.â
âThat is not important.â Xiao Tianyao doesnât care what Lin Chujiu think of him: âRight now, you only have two choices. Treat benw.a.n.gâs legs or let your uncle go to war.â
In order to help Lin Chujiu make a decision, Xiao Tianyao deliberately made up a sentence: âYou should know by now that with your uncleâs ability, itâs a miracle if he comes back alive.â Xiao Tianyao doesnât despise Meng s.h.i.+, 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 Tianyaoâs words are not false. And itâs 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 didnât visit her before, she wouldnât care about his life. But now⦠â¦
Just by remembering Meng Laofurenâs face, Lin Chujiu couldnât afford to refuse.
âYou win!â Lin Chujiu didnât 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 Tianyaoâs lips curve into a smile and chuckle a bit before he said: âYou didnât lose.â He hasnât done what he truly wants to do. Similarly, he hasnât get back his own people.
Lin Chujiu snorted and asked: âHow are you going to save my uncle?â
âItâs very difficult to make a person into a great general, but itâs very easy to make a person useless.â Xiao Tianyao said. Then, he gently rubbing his thumb and ask: âDo you want him to get a serious disease or a serious injury?â
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: âUpon receiving the imperial edict he acquired a serious disease? Who would believe that?â The more she speaks to him, the more Lin Chujiu find him hateful. Especially, that smile on his face is so annoying.
âThen, it has to be a serious injury.â The more Lin Chujiu gets angry, the more Xiao Tianyaoâs smile grows big: âThe day you will treat benw.a.n.g is the day that your uncle will get an injury.â
A threat!
Lin Chujiu almost explode. After all, she had never seen such a despicable person.
âWhat? You canât decide when? Do you want benw.a.n.g to decide for you?â With Xiao Tianyaoâs words, Lin Chujiu shouted angrily: âTomorrow!â
âGood, benw.a.n.g will wait for you.â 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⦠â¦
