Besides, Wang Yue had beheaded Cui Jizhong in front of the Zhe Family Army and the many soldiers stationed along the border.
The Zhe Family Army and the soldiers stationed in the northwest had been oppressed by Cui Jizhong for years. They had long hated him to the bone.
Unfortunately, Cui Jizhong had a powerful father, leaving them helpless.
In fact, this was one of the main reasons Great Song's army kept losing.
The soldiers who dared to fight and kill had been oppressed until they lost their fighting spirit. All that remained were men who enlisted for their rations and coasted through life. It was no wonder an army like that couldn't win.
Now that Wang Yue had publicly read out Cui Jizhong's crimes and then cut him down, he had successfully won back the hearts of the Zhe Family Army and the border troops.
After killing Cui Jizhong, Wang Yue handed the body to Yuan Qing and told him to return to the Capital City with the evidence and Sisen. Wang Yue himself was also preparing to leave, but an unexpected turn of events occurred just then.
As it turned out, Zhe Zong, Eldest Young Master of the Zhe Family Army, had been staring at Le Shan without blinking for some reason.
Just then, Yang Xian heard about the commotion and hurried over.
He recognized Wang Yue at once and knew Le Shan must be there too, so he'd already been looking for her for some time.
Naturally, Yang Xian saw what was happening as well, and immediately stepped in to block Zhe Zong's view.
First Wife Zhe saw this and assumed her son had finally grown up. She thought matters of the heart were best discussed in private, so she hurriedly invited everyone over to her home.
