C542 Rascal Marshal
Gongsun Ze Tian and his subordinates had 'relaxed' and returned. Looking at the few people who returned, including Gongsun Ze Tian, who were covered in big and small rolls, as if they were busy moving, a scene like this really blinded Lei Sheng and the generals behind him.
Of course, the few people from the Listening Rain Pavilion Tribe in charge of guarding the surroundings revealed an expression of 'understanding'. There was even some regret and regret, as if they had missed out on something especially important.
This was the first time Lei Sheng had seen something like this. To him, the words' robbery 'and' forced robbery 'were simply too far away from him. Not to mention that the Capital Overwatch Council was always strict with their rules and discipline, they simply did not allow such a thing to happen.
However, the newly appointed marshal had gone to 'rob' them, and he had even brought his men to rob them! This could no longer be described as outrageous.
At this moment, Lei Sheng was feeling conflicted and conflicted. He did not want to 'steal' this was one of the more important military orders that Lei Sheng had issued back then, but now it had been forcibly broken by Gongsun Ze Tian.
If it were the other subordinates, they would have been dealt with in accordance with the military rules. He believed that even if Gongsun Zaitian stopped them, he would still comply with the military rules, right? However, the one who made the first mistake was actually the Marshal himself. This made Lei Sheng at a loss of what to do.
Judging from the rank of official, he was his subordinate and he was only a deputy. Gongsun Ze was the general, and he was the one appointed by the emperor himself. The significance of this was extremely high.
Although this decree had not been made public, as long as the battle in the north came to a good conclusion, the name of Marshal Gongsun Zedong would definitely resound throughout the continent, and all of the neighbouring countries would know of this name. Furthermore, Lei Sheng knew that Gongsun Ze Tian definitely had the ability to defeat all his opponents.
From this, it was very likely that the young man in front of him had relied on his own abilities to replace the post of marshal that had been vacant for a long time in the empire.
Under such circumstances, it would be impossible for him to even think of getting this young marshal to join him.
And most importantly, he would need to control and plan the next few important battles. If not for his existence, Lei Sheng felt that he would not be able to make such a huge move, and at the same time, knew that Situ Qingyun would not be able to do the same.
This was also where Lei Sheng truly admired Gongsun Zaitian from the bottom of his heart. He was born to be a Marshal.
"Wait, that's not right. Aside from the Blood Illusion Valley, there are no other families within a hundred miles. Could it be ??" Just as Lei Sheng was thinking about all these, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind, and he immediately realised that there was something unusual that he had been ignoring.
As he thought of this, Lei Sheng immediately felt a chill run down his spine, as he jumped up and down to his brain. At the same time, he thought to himself in shock, "This young marshal really dares to snatch everything, what he dares to do?"
"Cough cough cough, remember this. You all didn't see anything today, so you don't know anything at all!" Gongsun Ze Tian seemed to have realized something, he immediately gave the order to and the others to keep their mouths shut with a stern face, at the same time, he rushed towards Zhang San Li Si and the others to bring everything he had stolen away.
"Marshal, did you really go rob the Blood Illusion Valley?" Lei Sheng stared dumbstruck for a long while before he faintly asked.
Lei Sheng was not an ignorant person, he would usually prefer things like antiques and things like that. Furthermore, the officials and nobles of the imperial city would all like this, and over time, even if it was someone who was completely ignorant, they would be able to learn how to appreciate them.
Lei Sheng did not know about the dozens of Mustard Seed Bags, just the huge items on their back. Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that it was a priceless treasure.
Moreover, these treasures could not be collected in a short period of time. Without hundreds and thousands of years of accumulation, perhaps no other family would be qualified to have such a strong foundation.
Furthermore, within a hundred mile radius of the, other than the existence of Blood Illusion Valley, perhaps even the existence of other great families, it was impossible for them to possess such precious items. Furthermore, other than the presence of Blood Illusion Valley, there were no other families.
Therefore, Lei Sheng was almost 100% sure that the origin of these things was within the Blood Illusion Valley. This also shocked Lei Sheng quite a bit. This young marshal was not afraid of offending people, he even dared to attack the top gangs in the martial arts world.
"No, absolutely not!" Gongsun Zaitian raised his head up high and confidently denied.
Looking at Gongsun Zaitian's extremely shameless look, Lei Sheng felt like he was about to bite off his own tongue. If Lei Sheng did not know that he had outstanding military skills, he would have thought that the Marshal in front of him was just an ordinary local tyrant.
"Then where did you get all these things on your back and waist? Are these not the treasures in the Blood Illusion Valley? " Lei Sheng swallowed his saliva and suppressed his desire to go up and beat up Gongsun Zaitian a few more times, and patiently continued to ask.
"No, these are all mine! Mine! " Gongsun Ze Tian's neck became even higher. At the same time, he pursed his lips and answered with an especially 'honest' tone. He was like a child protecting his beloved toy.
"..." Lei Sheng felt that he was about to cry. He had only wanted Gongsun Zaitian to return these things to the Blood Illusion Valley. Who would have thought that the person in front of him would actually be shameless enough to say that these things were his?
"Marshal, the reason you brought us here wasn't to rob Blood Illusion Valley right?" Lei Sheng placed his hand on his forehead and asked Gongsun Zaitian in pain.
"No, I was just saying that I'm just taking a look around. As for these things, they're just some crappy stuff that I casually picked up!" Gongsun Ztian shook his head like a rattle drum as he continued to blabber nonsense with his eyes wide open. He did not seem to have been caught red-handed, nor did he have the sense of being 'caught red-handed'.
If it was in the modern world, even a material like Gongsun Zhaitian would be able to shout 'unjustly' in front of the police.
"But Marshal, do you know how much these things are worth?" Lei Sheng almost kneeled down in front of Gongsun Zaitian. According to his initial estimations, even those big fellows that could not be covered were worth more than enough to buy all the shops in a small city, not to mention the other tightly wrapped up items, only the items inside the bulging 'clothes' could be seen.
After a simple estimation, the loot that Gongsun Zaitian had looted this time was enough for him to break all his limbs and live a comfortable life for the rest of his life.
Lei Sheng did not know that what he saw was only the tip of the iceberg. Compared to the things in the mustard seed bags, these things that were wrapped in clothes, were simply trash. If not for the fact that Zhang San, Li Si and the rest were not willing to discard them, Gongsun Ze Tian would not even bother to look at these broken things.
Furthermore, what Lei Sheng did not expect was that not only had Gongsun Ze Tian destroyed a huge fortune for the Blood Illusion Valley, even more importantly, the Scripture Pavilion had already been completely emptied out by Gongsun Ze Tian.
If Lei Sheng knew about this, he would probably cry to death on his knees right now! Furthermore, he would definitely give Gongsun Zedong a 'the most audacious person in all of history' a fair evaluation.
"That's also mine! It has nothing to do with you! " Looking at Lei Sheng's' teary 'expression, Gongsun Ze Tian thought that Lei Sheng had taken a fancy to his treasures. He immediately held the treasure in his arms like a chicken and spoke to Lei Sheng with shining words.
"But the Surveillance Council has a rule that we cannot do this!" Lei Sheng said to Gongsun Ze Tian as if he was crying.
"I'm not even from the Surveillance Council, so I can't be counted!" Gongsun Ztian shook his head as he answered.
In this northern mission, even though Gongsun Ze Tian could easily command all the powers under the Capital Overwatch Council, it did not mean that he had the status of a middle and upper echelon of the Surveillance Council, and it was mainly because of the special authority granted by His Majesty and the President of the Council. At the same time, Gongsun Ze Tian was also one of the candidates, which allowed Gongsun Ze Tian to command all the forces under the Surveillance Council like an arbiter, and at the moment, he himself really had nothing to do with the Surveillance Council.
"..." Silent, or silent ? No one wanted to say anything more.
"My Lord Headmaster, you have found someone for us to be the future Headmaster of the Surveillance Council." From Lei Sheng onwards, everyone present vomited blood as they thought this. They couldn't help but laugh bitterly in their hearts.
Lei Sheng seemed to have seen the future. After Gongsun Ze Tian took control of the Surveillance Council, the people of the Surveillance Council were like hungry wolves that could not eat their fill. Even when the wind blew past them, they would grab the scene in their pockets.
Just thinking about it, Lei Sheng couldn't help but shiver a few times. He looked at Gongsun Zaitian with a bit of worry and fear and thought in his heart, "Is it good or bad for the Surveillance Council and Empire to have such a principal?"
"How is your appreciation of this place? But what did you get? " As for the antiques that he, Zhang San and the others carried on their back, they had long since been removed from their bodies. Under the supervision of Zhang San, he had even specially sent a small team of people to bring these items to the nearest Listening Rain Pavilion stronghold.
As for the final locations of these items, they were probably either the capital of other empires, or the auction houses of some great clans or great powers. Of course, the money exchanged would become the exclusive property of the Listening Rain Pavilion.
Marshal, there has been no change in the battlefield. The percentage of casualties on both sides is not small, especially for the one who attacked the city, it was almost as if they were using their lives to fill in the gap.
"On the attacking side, other than the people who belong to Wu Gang who did not make a move, how much of the other parts did they lose?"
"I've already lost more than 40%!"
"To lose so much on the first day of the siege, this Wu Gang is really ruthless!"
"Marshal, what should we do next? Are we going to stay here and keep an eye on them? "
"There's no need, we lost forty percent. I believe that Wu Gang will probably choose to evacuate the army at the latest in the morning of the day after tomorrow. We should return and wait for them!"
"Leaving just like that?"
"What is it? Do you want to watch a big show here? "
"That's not the case, we just want to see what kind of tricks Wu Gang can play!"
"Wu Gang will not interfere in the subsequent battles! Our goal has been achieved, and we can evacuate now! " Gongsun Ztian said in a profound manner. Then, he revealed a strange smile as he gazed at the battleground at the foot of the mountain.
