Sweet Wife Is Busy Farming - Chapter 48 - I Want to Join the Army

General Long Zhanyuan took over the portrait. He understood Song Xiuyan’s intentions and admired his character. Song Xiuyan was concerned more about the safety of his younger brother rather than the bank card. He quickly agreed to Song Xiuyan’s request because he just needed to talk with the mayor’s side on the line. While the man in the portrait, General Long still can find him out even though he had left LingXi town.

After the Song’s brother left, Dean Chen Xuefeng and General Long Zhanyuan walked into the study room. Chen Xuefeng looked grave. “Do you know who is the head of the conspiracy today?” he asked.

“Who else will be beside the top ones with such a big deal and sending so many dead soldiers all at once?” Long Zhanyuan said with a bad face.

Hua Xia was in his prime. All the princes were still young, but the infighting between them was very fierce. General Long Zhanyuan had been covered at the national defence line for decades. The King called him back to the capital because of his age. He was in charge of security with 300,000 troops. The national defence line was given to Long Tian Lin, Long Zhanyuan’s son who was in charge of another 300,000 troops too. In this way, Long Zhanyuan’s family became a hot commodity. Several princes and other parties were wildly ambitious about the military power in the hands of Long Zhanyuan. At the same time, whoever could pull Long Zhanyuan into his camp would have a chance to be the head of the country. However, the general was a neutral faction who doesn’t care about anyone.

Those people hit a wall and couldn’t take Long Zhanyuan for their use. Therefore the only way was to kill him and replaced him with their people.

Chen Xuefeng thought a bit more, he hesitated for a moment. “Brother Long, you seem to have missed out on someone… they …” he said.

“They?” Long Zhanyuan wondered. The current King is not the heir to the original lord. His father was the uncle of the former lord, who later staged a coup to occupy the position of the King. But before the former lord died, he passed the national seal over to his two sons and helped them escape from the capital secretly. Thirty years ago, the two sons of the old King fully prepared well and staged a coup to retake the kingdom that belonged to them, but the coup failed. Two of his sons and their descendants all died in that coup.

At that time, General Long Zhanyuan was the main coach in the coup since he did not support the descendants of the original king. What Dean Chen Xuefeng meant, the descendants of those two sons were still alive. It seemed like they were taking revenge on General Long this time.

After seeing Song Xiuyan and Song Yang come out, the students in the school gathered around. Song Xiuyan was always cool in front of them. Chu Weidong was their only friend in the school, so the students waited for Chu Weidong to ask.

Song Xiuyan didn’t want to stay at the school for too long. He simply explained that he decided to help just because he recognized General Long Zhanyuan. He emphasized that it was only a small favour. After Chu Weidong heard it, he didn’t ask any further questions. Previously Song Xiuyan entrusted him to find someone, but Chu Weidong kept it secret.

On the way home, Song Yang talked in a low voice. “Brother, did you ask General Long Zhanyuan to help us find the man who got me bitten by a poisonous snake?” he asked.

“General Long Zhanyuan had promised about this.” Song Xiuyan nodded and said.

“That’s great. As long as General Long Zhanyuan is willing to help, we will be able to find out who is trying to harm us!” Song Yang said. He looked happy.

“I didn’t tell him about the night we were attacked by the men in black,” Song Xiuyan said.

Song Yang was puzzled. “Why?” he asked.

“Those who are capable of training dead soldiers, their power should not be underestimated. Either they are the top people in the capital or other parties who have powerful forces. General Long is known to be a neutral faction.” Song Xiuyan shook his head and said. Therefore, it didn’t mean that Long Zhanyuan would antagonize others because they had saved Long Zhanyuan’s life.

Song Yang understood what Song Xiuyan meant. It made sense to think about it. No matter what, their family would be taken care of by General Long Zhanyuan in the future. Those who didn’t dare to harm their family openly would have more scruples. Anyway, it was a coincidence that they saved General Long Zhanyuan this afternoon. This luck had been brought to them by their sister-in-law Ding Yao. Without her powder, they couldn’t save General Long Zhanyuan.

Song Yang couldn’t help. “Brother, do you think General Long will agree if I ask him to join the army?” he asked his brother.
