Chapter 701: Chapter 540 The Han Family Vindicated

Atop the city tower of Red Sun City, the grand flag of the Gu family fluttered in the sky.

Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu lay slantwise on the soft berth of the carriage as they entered Red Sun City.

”My lord, the central gate and the east and west gates of Red Sun City are now in our control. None of the defenders of Red Sun City survived. It’s just the Red Sun City Lord’s Mansion that remains in the hands of the Huaheng Clan,” Yhan Ting, covered in blood and with a lingering aura of slaughter on his face, pointed towards the large mansion at the end of the city’s main street.

Gu Changsheng turned his head and looked toward the City Lord’s Mansion.

There lay the residence of the Huaheng Clan, long entrenched in Red Sun City!

The rulers of a ten thousand li territory in the Southern Border, contending against the Xiangka Clan and commanding half of the Southern Border’s lands, the old nest of the Huaheng Clan was now right before his eyes!

”A lord no longer a lord, a vassal no longer a vassal, I gave them a chance, yet they still chose to meet me in battle. Take care of them!” Gu Changsheng waved his hand, speaking languidly, ”Make it a clean job; I want a tidy place to settle down in.”

”As you command!” Yhan Ting responded, leading a hundred-plus soldiers of the Dark Night Army, charging straight for the City Lord’s Mansion.

”Evildoer, leave the aftermath to you. I need to get some sleep. All this shouting and killing half the day has rattled my ears and eyes. I need a break, I need a break!” Saying this, Gu Changsheng found a comfortable spot on the soft berth of the carriage and closed his eyes...

Zhou Mu watched the woman nestled in the carriage with an affectionate gaze, shook her head helplessly, and stepped out of the carriage...

The Dayao Village fell at dawn; Red Sun City changed hands at nightfall!

The battle for Red Sun City, a proper siege, where Gu Changsheng employed an eight-year-old young general to lead the troops and took Red Sun City within a shichen Chinese time without a single casualty among the Eight Hundred Dark Night Army. With Red Sun City changing hands and the Huaheng Clan entirely overthrown, Gu Changsheng occupied the Red Sun City Lord’s Mansion, and the Gu family’s flag was planted atop the city tower!

This news spread across the world in just a few days, and everyone knew it!

When the news reached the Capital of Great Zhou, Emperor Zhoulin was dealing with state affairs in the Imperial Court. As the Messenger Soldier kneeled and presented the urgent battle report, Emperor Zhoulin himself was brought to his knees!

”God bless Great Zhou! God bless the Zhou Family! Having obtained such a Clan Lady, the Zhou Family’s dominance is within reach! Summon my decree, for the contributions of Prince Changsheng of Great Zhou in the campaign in the Southern Border, his glory shall last throughout the ages. The fiefdom of Liuzhou Region shall be promoted, and I bestow upon her the Five Continents of Jiangnan Road in its entirety. I also grant her family’s elders the privilege to wear the Python Robe and her five-year-old son to don the Yellow Gemmed Belt. I confer upon the Gu family the title of an Imperial Prince for one generation, and as long as Great Zhou stands, the Gu family’s honor shall not fade!” Emperor Zhoulin knelt before his throne, his hands raised to the heavens, with tears streaming down his face.

That was the Southern Border! For a thousand years, an unconquered land!

The most mysterious and unpredictable Southern Border!

Now, it had been effortlessly conquered, city after city!

The divine military strategy of the Gu family’s Changsheng was peerless. The way his Imperial Grandson chose women was indeed eye-opening!

The civil and military officials kneeling below were all speechless, bowing their heads and shouting long live!

The several Zhou Family princes kneeling on one knee to the side were full of uncertainty. The Gu family’s Changsheng, once the Abandoned Wife of the Li Family, had now become famous in one fell swoop. The contrast was stark. If the Medicine God Changsheng was already enough to inspire jealousy, what about the War God Changsheng?

How should one regard the War God Changsheng?

Rising from the ground, Emperor Zhoulin resumed his seat on the throne, lifted his dragon sleeves to wipe away the tears on his face, and turned to look at the Messenger Soldier, ”You say Prince Changsheng employed an eight-year-old young general for this siege. What is the young general’s full name? What are his origins?”

”Your Majesty, this young general is a Family Servant of His Highness Prince Changsheng, named Han Mo. His father was Han Jingye, the former Great General who guarded Tongguan City. He was accused of failing in defense and disgraced his family. Last year, His Highness Prince Bao returned to court to plead on his behalf. Now, only Han Mo and his sister Han Qiu remain in the Han family, serving by His Highness Prince Changsheng’s side. The capture of Red Sun City was orchestrated by the eight-year-old Han Mo, who led the troops,” the Messenger Soldier replied, his voice resonant, holding the secret military letter in hand.

”Han Mo... Han Jingye... Han Qiu...” Emperor Zhoulin murmured the names, sighing deeply at last, ”Han Jingye came from a Poor Family, rose through military ranks and became a great border official. When Tongguan City was lost, Han Jingye’s fate was tied to Tongguan City. It was I who only saw the loss of Tongguan and failed to recognize his sacrifice in battle. It was my mistake!”

”Your Majesty!”

”Your Majesty!”

Upon hearing this, the officials were utterly dumbfounded.
