Chapter 157 A real man—Hu Zi!
Uesugi Tora led the fierce cavalry and rushed to the delegation camp like a surging tide. The sound of horse hooves was deafening like thunder, and the dust raised in the sky seemed to cast a tense and depressing haze on the whole scene.

Uesugi Tiger, who wanted to take advantage of the fierce momentum of this charge to kill a lot of people, was filled with strong doubts when he saw the two people who attacked him suddenly stop.

Instead of continuing to flee in panic, the two men resolutely turned around and looked at him with sharp eyes. They looked so calm and composed as if they had a powerful support behind them.

Seeing this, Uesugi Tora couldn't help but shout, "Why don't you run away? Do you want to surrender to me?"

His voice was strong and powerful, echoing in the air with an unquestionable majesty.

However, the two men still stood there quietly, unmoved.

Fan Xian looked at Su Wenyi, who was standing calmly in the carriage, and suddenly felt a surge of confidence in his heart.

Fan Xian raised his hand, pointed directly at Shang Shan Hu, and said sharply: "You are such a reckless person, do you know that we are the Qing Kingdom's envoys? How can you easily offend the dignity of the Qing Kingdom?"

There was a firm light in Fan Xian's eyes, as if he was declaring his indomitable spirit and pride to the other party.

Shangshan Hu snorted coldly, his eyes revealing a trace of disdain: "I killed you Qing people! Qing and my Northern Qi have always been at odds. Now that we meet today, I will make you pay the price!"

His words were full of determination and ruthlessness, as if he had already made up his mind to compete with the Qing Kingdom delegation.

Fan Xian was not afraid at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Really? Then do you know that there is a Grand Master in our delegation? If you have the courage, you can rush over and give it a try. I want to see how likely you, the great general of Northern Qi, can be to win against the Grand Master."

Fan Xian's tone was full of confidence and provocation. He was well aware of the deterrent power of the Grand Master and believed that Uesugi Tora would be afraid after hearing the news.

As soon as Fan Xian said this, Shangshan Hu's face suddenly changed. A strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart. The title of Grand Master was like a heavy mountain, pressing down on his heart.

But in a flash, Shangshan Hu forced himself to calm down. He snorted coldly, "Grandmaster? How can a small delegation have a grandmaster? There are four grandmasters in the world. Which one are you talking about?"

"Si Gu Jian? Ye Liuyun? Or the one who has never appeared in your Qing Kingdom?"

Uesugi Tora's eyes were full of doubt. He didn't believe that there would be such a powerful figure in charge of the Qing Kingdom delegation.

When Fan Xian heard Shangshan Hu's words, he couldn't help but roll his eyes slightly, muttering to himself that Shangshan Hu really wouldn't cry until he saw the coffin.

Wang Qinian even mocked directly, "Shangshan Hu, you are a great general of Northern Qi. Don't you know that Grandmaster Si Gu Jian has been killed? And now, the one who killed Si Gu Jian is right here. If you retreat immediately, you still have a chance of survival. Otherwise, today will be the day you die!"

Wang Qinian's words were full of sarcasm and threats. He knew very well that Uesugi Tora would be in a dilemma after learning the news.

Just after Wang Qinian finished speaking, Uesugi Tiger's brows furrowed again.

Having been fighting in the army for a long time, and especially with so many things to do recently, he really didn't know about Si Gu Jian's death.

The guards around Uesugi Tora saw a puzzled look on their general's face and hurriedly stepped forward to explain in a low voice.

When Uesugi Tora heard the explanation from his personal guard, his expression suddenly changed!

Su Wenyi! This name was certainly not unfamiliar to Shangshan Hu.

When Uesugi Tora was still a centurion, he had already experienced Su Wenyi's ruthless methods.

At that time, Su Wenyi had already demonstrated extraordinary wisdom and courage, which impressed Uesugi Tiger.

Now, Su Wenyi has become the grandmaster of Qing Kingdom, which makes Shangshan Hu feel shocked and uneasy.

Thinking of this, Uesugi Tora's expression suddenly became extremely ugly.

He knew very well how terrifying the power of the Grand Master was, and if he fought against him, he would have no chance of winning.

However, as a general of Northern Qi, he could not retreat easily, otherwise it would damage the dignity of Northern Qi. Uesugi Tora was in deep entanglement, not knowing how to make a decision.

Fan Xian looked at Shangshan Hu's ever-changing expression, feeling very proud.

He knew that Uesugi Tora had been shocked by his words, and this was the perfect time to force him to retreat.

Fan Xian spoke again, his tone full of majesty: "Uesugi Tiger, what are you still hesitating about? Do you really want to be an enemy of the Grand Master? A man of insight is a wise man. If you retreat now, I can pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences at your own risk!"

Fan Xian's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Uesugi Tora's heart and making him even more shaken.

Just when Fan Xian was feeling proud, Su Wenyi slowly walked forward.

Seeing Su Wenyi moving, Uesugi Tora immediately became alert, and the guards around Uesugi Tora even stood directly in front of Uesugi Tora.

One of the guards said, "General, run away! We will stop him!"

Shangshan Hu looked at Su Wenyi who was walking towards him, took a deep breath and said, "It's useless if that person is really a grandmaster."

"You guys can't stop me, and I can't escape."

As he spoke, Uesugi Tora dismounted and walked towards Su Wenyi.

"Uesugi Tiger of Northern Qi, I am honored to meet you, Grandmaster!"

When Su Wenyi saw that Uesugi Tora did not run away but instead walked forward and saluted, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

Then, Su Wenyi said with a smile: "You are really a good candidate. You can remain calm in the face of death. That's really great!"

"But you know, if you had escaped just now, you might have had a chance of survival."

"But now, you have given up your life."

Uesugi Tora took a deep breath and said, "It is my honor to die in the hands of a great master!"

"But, I am a soldier! A soldier would rather die on the battlefield than live in disgrace!"

"I can die, but my personal guards are only following my military orders. Please let them live!"

After Uesugi Tora finished speaking, he bowed his head and saluted to Su Wenyi.

The other guards were deeply moved when they heard this.

"General! Why is it so?"

"General, our lives are worthless and not worth this!"

Uesugi Tora listened to the guards' words and interrupted them, "Shut up! This is a military order!"

After these words were spoken, the guards all shut up.

Su Wenyi looked at this scene and couldn't help but fall into silence.

These soldiers are really great.

This Uesugi Tora is worthy of being the real person in power in the army!
