Chapter 292 - 72: I Never Hold Grudges! I Settle Them on the Spot! (Part 2)

Anyway, none of this affected Ye Liuyun’s mood.

He hummed a little tune, grinning as he walked away!

,,,

"This kid, I think he’s even more suited to be a military officer than any of us!"

Watching Ye Liuyun’s departing figure.

The crowd around old General Yue couldn’t help starting to gossip.

"People say we generals are reckless when we act, but this kid is even more unrestrained than us."

All talk aside, their eyes as they looked at Ye Liuyun were filled with admiration.

The emotions of military officers are always a bit purer.

Ye Liuyun’s unrestrained way of handling things was something they actually liked even more. If only the young Emperor had such a temperament—maybe they’d already accept Yan Shuzhu as their ruler.

Of course.

It also has to do with his actual strength.

Whatever you say, Ye Liuyun is a Grandmaster, but Yan Shuzhu can’t even cultivate. Without personal strength as a foundation, there’s no way to act tough.

"If Junior General were still alive, right now he’d also,..."

One commander blurted it out, not even thinking.

With the Junior General’s talent, if he’d lived till now, he’d certainly be this outstanding too.

But before he could finish, the person next to him bumped his shoulder, cutting off his words.

"Why’d you hit me?"

He started to ask, slightly annoyed, but noticed the other’s look, then unconsciously shot a glance toward Yue Xiu, old General Yue.

"I,..."

Only now did he realize.

Mentioning the Junior General was something that hurt Yue Xiu most of all.

"General, please punish me!"

He mumbled for quite a while, unable to come up with a good explanation, so he could only say that.

Only—

To words like that,

Yue Xiu just waved his hand simply, not saying anything.

But his eyes grew heavy, and he reached to grip the sword at his waist—a sword that hadn’t left its sheath in years.

It’s soon! Very soon!

Then Yue Xiu strode away briskly.

His men thought he’d been touched in a sore spot.

All of them raised their hands, smacked the talkative guy’s head.

"You just can’t keep your mouth shut, huh!"

"I didn’t mean it!"

Feeling helpless, but he had been the one to misspeak, so he didn’t argue further.

,,,

Ye Liuyun always considered himself anything but petty. Usually, if there’s a grudge, he settles it right away.

After returning to the Embroidered Uniform Guard,

Seeing Ye Liuyun come back, Si Nan, Shi Sheng, and Jiang Jing immediately crowded around him.

Ye Liuyun gave Jiang Jing a few extra looks.

Before, Jiang Jing’s aura had still been a little unstable, but now, in Ye Liuyun’s perception, Jiang Jing’s cultivation had reached the absolute pinnacle of the Innate Realm.

Next, he could try to break through to Grandmaster.

"Well done!"

"All thanks to you, sir!"

Jiang Jing didn’t show much pride at his breakthrough, keeping his head clear.

If not for Ye Liuyun’s help,

he’d probably need a few more years before he had any hope of breaking through.

Ye Liuyun just nodded. Jiang Jing’s rising strength was good for him too. Not saying more, he turned to Si Nan and the others.

"Go round up the men—get ready for action!"

"Action?"

Si Nan was at first stunned, but after catching Ye Liuyun’s look, he instantly understood.

The whole group perked up—with a quick reply:

"Alright! I’ll get right on it!"

Soon enough, Si Nan brought a crew over—the same crew who’d raided Prince An Yan Jiang’s house before.

Having done it once, these folks were much more familiar with the drill now.

For things like this,

They weren’t worried anymore—if anything, some were looking forward to it.

After all,

You could really get some serious kickbacks out of this kind of job.

"Sir, who’s our target this time?"

"Did another prince piss you off?"

The ones closest to Ye Liuyun sidled over, asking, full of curiosity.

Ye Liuyun shrugged.

He explained casually,

"This time, our target isn’t any noble or prince—it’s some people from the Ministry of Revenue!"

"The Ministry of Revenue!"

Hearing that, certain eyes lit up noticeably.

After all, some Ministry of Revenue officials are richer than the nobility themselves. Quite a few were rubbing their hands in anticipation.

Those ministers who’d accused Ye Liuyun this morning—

They probably never thought Ye Liuyun’s revenge would come this fast.

Accusations at morning court, and by noon, Ye Liuyun brought people to their homes.

The first minister who’d gone after Ye Liuyun was at his home, having lunch with his beautiful wife and concubine, when the main gate was smashed open by Shi Sheng’s punch.

"Bang!"

The sudden explosion—

made the Minister of Revenue drop his chopsticks in shock.

"What’s going on! What happened!"

Just then,

the household servants came running in, panicked.

"Master! Master! It’s the Embroidered Uniform Guard—the Embroidered Uniform Guard is here!"

"What did you say!"

Embroidered Uniform Guard?

The Embroidered Uniform Guard actually dared storm his house?

He was just starting to get angry, but suddenly remembered the events after the morning court. His face changed a little.

This couldn’t be happening, could it!

Even if Ye Liuyun wanted revenge, wouldn’t he at least stop for lunch first? Did he really come right for me?

Just as the Minister of Revenue was about to signal his beautiful wife and concubine to leave, and go outside to face things directly,—
