Chapter 87 I Regret It So Much
The Yang residence was exceptionally lively today.
When Yang Jian returned to the Yang residence after seeing Li Mingzhu off, he saw several elders of the clan entering the residence one after another through the main gate, and there were also more servants waiting at the gate than usual.
When he entered the Yang residence, he saw that the servants were much busier than usual.
"It seems that tonight's family reunion dinner won't be so simple."
Seeing this, Yang Jian realized that this was not just a family reunion dinner for his own family, but definitely involved the entire clan.
The fact that his elder brother Yang Shengxiao brought his fiancée Zhou Yun back was not a simple visit.
Yang Jian realized that his elder brother's studies abroad were over, and if nothing unexpected happened, his brother would soon be involved in family affairs.
The fact that so many family elders have come over tonight suggests that they might be announcing something.
Unlike Yang Jian, his elder brother Yang Shengxiao was the eldest son of the Yang family, the eldest young master of the Yang family, and the true heir of the Yang family.
Even though his elder brother had gone abroad to study and had not been in charge of family affairs, the identity of heir would only belong to his elder brother Yang Shengxiao and would not fall to anyone else.
The eldest son inheriting the family business is a tacitly accepted practice.
Zhou Yun made a special trip to the Yang family before the wedding, perhaps as one of the witnesses.
Yang Jian had some guesses in his mind, and was also happy to see this situation.
The Yang family is already providing what he wants; he's not really interested in the remaining political resources.
Yang Jian had personally witnessed just how busy his father, who was a county magistrate, was. He left early and returned late, with endless things to deal with every day, leaving him with very little free time, and it was difficult to even see him at home.
He didn't want to end up like that himself.
Compared to being an official, Yang Jian preferred spiritual cultivation, feeling a sense of self-improvement every day, a feeling that was extremely fulfilling.
Yang Jian had previously set himself a short-term goal.
Break through the Qi-cultivation realm and become a martial arts master.
He's getting closer and closer to that step!
If he gets distracted by various trivial matters, he won't have time to cultivate or kill strange creatures, so how can he quickly improve his cultivation level?
"Second Young Master, Master wants you to go to the study."
When Steward Zhao saw Yang Jian, he quickly walked over.
Within the Yang family, the quickest way to find someone is to ask Steward Zhao, who can usually answer any question.
"Um."
Yang Jian nodded slightly and walked towards the study.
He had some guesses about this, and as for whether it was as he thought, he would know once he went there.
......
On the Meijiang River.
A huge black beast emerged from the water, half of its body floating on the surface.
Its body was covered in countless wounds, all of which were bleeding, making it look quite pathetic.
"So close, so very close."
"Why was it so close, by just a little bit?"
"If we delay a little longer, we might succeed!"
On the back of the mythical beast, a woman dressed in palace attire sat slumped.
She was muttering to herself, her expression full of sorrow.
Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, making it impossible to tell whether they were from the river or her own tears.
"Princess Jiang, please accept my condolences."
"King Jiang specifically asked General Tuo to escort you, hoping that you could live a good life."
"To punish Jiang Zhangfu Wang for his incompetence, the Fu Mother specially made the sacrificial array centered on Jiang Zhangfu Wang."
"The sacrificial array was not fully completed, so King Jiang, the Talisman Master, cannot leave the sacrificial array."
"So this has nothing to do with you, Princess Jiang."
The guard in black offered words of comfort.
They were all people who participated in the previous battle of Yuning County.
The Divine Symbol Society suffered heavy losses in this battle.
When they were severely damaged by the bombardment, they still pinned their hopes on the Mother of Talismans. However, the sacrificial array was not completed and the Mother of Talismans did not appear. Most of those who guarded the sacrificial array died under the bombardment.
The martial arts masters within the Divine Talisman Society were also surrounded and killed by experts invited by the provincial warlords, and most of the members were unable to escape.
They were able to escape only because of General Tuo's thick skin and underwater abilities; otherwise, they would have all died in Yuning County.
Even so, in the end only the two of them escaped. The other guard was dead, and General Tuo's injuries were even more severe!
In this battle, almost all of the Red Talisman lineage's remaining strength was wiped out.
During their escape, they learned that Fu's mother had also been ambushed by the warlord and was severely injured, which was why she had not shown up to rescue her.
"I regret it so much."
"I should have left a martial arts master at Meijiang Wharf in Yongkang County back then. As long as a martial arts master is there to guard Meijiang Wharf, we can definitely protect it and prevent Yang Jian from burning it down and breaking the Soul Separation Formation I left behind."
"If the Soul Separation Formation is not broken, the reinforcements from Yunnan Province will suffer heavy losses and will be unable to support Yuning County."
"If the mission is completed, the punishment for Master Jiang will not be so severe. She will definitely not make Master Jiang the core of the sacrificial array."
"Moreover, without the encirclement and suppression by the three warlords, the outer areas of Yuning County can definitely be held for longer, delaying enough time for Fu Mu to advance further."
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."
Princess Jiang did not heed the guard's words and remained filled with self-reproach.
She only learned about the failures of the several missions arranged by Jiang Zhangfu Wang to block the reinforcements from the provincial warlords when she went to Yuning County!
Within the Divine Symbol Society, failure in a mission always carries a penalty, but the penalty depends on the severity of the failure.
If most of it is completed, the punishment will be the lightest and the impact will be minimal.
Completing a small portion carries a heavier penalty, which accumulates but does not endanger life.
Those who accomplish nothing will face the heaviest punishment, a near-death experience.
King Jiang's mission completion rate this time is that he didn't complete anything.
Princess Jiang inquired about the situation at several other places where there was obstruction. The warlords dispatched were no weaker than the Yunnan Army, and the people that King Jiang sent there could not stop them.
It wasn't that King Jiang didn't want to deploy more combat forces, but rather that he simply couldn't spare any more manpower.
Most of the Red Talisman lineage of the Divine Talisman Society are tied down in Yuning County.
The only one with a chance to complete the mission was Princess Jiang, but she messed it up!
She watched helplessly as Jiang Zhangfu Wang was torn to pieces by the warlord's experts and artillery fire, leaving no trace of his body. This caused her to have a mental breakdown, and she hasn't recovered yet.
In particular, the fact that General Jiang specially arranged for him to protect her as she left made her feel even more uncomfortable.
Princess Jiang felt that she was responsible for the death of King Jiang, the Master of the Seals.
"Princess Jiang, this is not your fault."
"It's the warlords' fault, it's the fault of those who killed King Jiang, it's the fault of those who sabotaged our mission, it's the fault of the one who destroyed the Soul Separation Formation, it's..."
Upon hearing this, the guards quickly listed a series of people who had made mistakes.
How could Princess Jiang be wrong? The fault lies with others.
Those who caused all of this to happen are all at fault.
"Yes, it wasn't my fault."
"It's all their fault, I want revenge, I want revenge..."
Upon hearing this, Princess Jiang muttered to herself, no longer blaming herself, but instead placing the blame on others.
As she spoke, her expression returned to normal, her eyes flashing with a dark light of hatred.
