Chapter 367 - Three Generals And Four Leaders

After taking a deep breath, Yan Kui pushed the door and entered the room. Inside, there was a third-quarter circle table, and seven men sat behind the table.

His eyes immediately met with his immediate superior, Major General Shi Yan. Yan Kui shook his head, telling him that the talk did not go through.

Shi Yan was a man in his late forties. His hair started to turn gray and had muddy eyes. He was wearing a serene expression while nodding his head, indicating he understood.

Next to Shi Yan was the youngest General, the newly appointed Major General, Wu Shuan. He was First Lieutenant before but promoted to Major General after capturing the building he was standing in right now.

Next to Major General Wu Shuan was another newly appointed Major General as well. The man worked together with Major General Wu Shuan to capture the base. He was Zuo Ren, in his early forties with sharp eyes.

Next to Zuo Ren was Huo Shihong, the leader of the Flame Castle faction. Xu Cheng, the leader of Xu Group sat next to Huo Shing. The last two seats were filled by Tong House's leader and Dragon Wings' leader, Tong Zedong and Lu Huang Tu.

Yan Kui walked around and stood in front of the seven important figures in the establishment. It was a lie if he was not nervous, especially after he failed to complete the mission.

However, he maintained his composure in front of the seven people and bowed his head.

Wu Shuan waved his hand at Yan Kui, "Skip the formality, get to your report directly!"

"Alright," Yan Kui then started his story, he exaggerated a little, adding some spices in it. He told the seven people that he was treated poorly. A dirty room to sleep and plain soup for the meal.

On top of that, he told them how Tang Shaoyang and the other survivors disrespected the military force. He was telling as unpleasant as possible while maintaining a certain degree of realism in his story.

"Ah, the leader also told me that they were establishing an empire, The Empire of Tang! He would not listen to our request just because we asked them to! The same for Yu Shun's case, Yu Shun has become his people so he would not hand over him to us!" Yan Kui finished his story with an upsetting tone.

Major General Zuo Ren furrowed his brow, "An empire?"

"Yes, an empire. I have seen them armed with swords and bows. They look so organized for a civilian base. One more, they have two individuals with healing capability," Yan Kui nodded his head earnestly.

"Healing capability? Are you talking about skills, right?" Major General Wu Shuan opened his mouth. He looked interested as soon as he heard this.

"I am not sure, but one of his subordinates stabbed one of my men after having a little argument. The other three tried to help, but we were outnumbered," Yan Kui recounted the story with a helpless tone.

"I did not do anything because we are being outnumbered, but the leader sent these two individuals to heal the injured. I think they did that on purpose to show their power to us," he voiced out his thoughts.

"Interesting," General Wu Shuan showed an interesting expression. This was Yan Kui's goal, inciting their desire to conquer the base. If they captured the base, they could get the individual with the healing abilities.

"Then who's this leader, do you know his name?" Major General Shi Yan opened his mouth.

"I know his name, he is Tang Shaoyang. I have tried to dig up some information, but the survivors in the base did not know him much," Yan Kui shook his head.

At this moment, Lu Huang Tu suddenly opened his mouth, "Tang Shaoyang!?" He felt the name was somehow familiar. He heard the name before.

Everyone in the room looked toward Lu Huang Tu, "Do you know this Tang Shaoyang, Leader Lu?" Major General Shi Yan asked out

"I feel the name is indeed familiar…" Lu Huang Tu tried to recall his memories while mumbling the name, "Tang Shaoyang… Tang Shaoyang…"

Lu Huang Tu became the center of attention while the others were waiting. Leader Lu rubbed his chin, the name was too familiar to get forgotten. He was sure that name was being mentioned quite often.

"Ah, I remember him. He's part of our Dragon Wings before these absurd zombies started to appear. He is my brother's trusted subordinate," Lu Huang Tu's eyes brightened.

"He is a quite skilled fighter, it's no surprise that he could survive until now…" his voice stopped midway and gazed toward Yan Kui, "Are you sure the leader is Tang Shaoyang, not Lu Gang?"

"I don't recall Lu Gang's name being mentioned anywhere, but yeah, I am sure the leader's name is Tang Shaoyang," Yan Kui nodded in response.

"Alright, that's enough. You can leave the room now, Second Lieutenant Yan," Major General Shi Yan dismissed Yan Kui. The next discussion was something that Yan Kui's rank could not participate in or listen to.

Yan Kui bowed his head and walked toward the exit. He was quite disappointed that he did not get the reaction he wanted to. But then he remembered something, "Ah, the leader also has a word for you, Major General Shi. He said the country has fallen, we, the military force, have no authority to command or order them."

After saying his last piece of words, Yan Kui left the meeting room.

"This Tang Shaoyang is quite cocky, huh!?" Tong Zedong remarked in a chuckle.

No one responded to his remark as Major General Zuo looked toward Major General Shi Yan, "What do you think, Major General Shi Yan?" He was questioning the truthfulness behind Yan Kui's report.

Zuo Ren was quite sharp and he could tell that Yan Kui was not reporting the whole truthfully.

"At least, around half of his report is true while the rest is his exaggeration," The older man rubbed his slightly wrinkled cheeks with his left hand.

"Mnn, they are not treated poorly. I can see from his complexion that he is well-fed and has enough rest," Major General Wu Shuan commented while shaking his head, "Your men seem to be offended by that Tang Shaoyang's guy and want to use us."

"This kind of subordinate is indeed problematic, but let's talk about that later," Major General Shi Yan admitted by nodding his head, "But we have an urgent matter," the older man looked toward Lu Huang Tu, "So what do you know about this Tang Shaoyang, Leader Lu?"

When Tang Shaoyang's name was brought up, the others immediately looked toward Lu Huang Tu, "I don't know much about him, but he is supposed to be one of my brother's men."

Leader Lu then looked toward Leader Xu, Xu Chen. Xu Group and Dragon Wings came from the same root, gangster. Both were enemies before and now they became an ally because of the circumstance.

"You should know him too, Leader Xu. He is quite famous, The Berserk from the Youyouliucun District," Leader Lu brought up the old name for Tang Shaoyang.

Xu Chen's eyes brightened when that old man was brought. Now he remembered too, a man was being called that, "So that cockroach guy is Tang Shaoyang?"
