135: Tang Guosheng was furious

"Ye Liuyun, what do you mean by this? Leaving Great Xia? Are you going to another country? Have you forgotten how good I've been to you?" Tang Guosheng said, continuously hitting the table with his hand. Today's events had made him too furious.

Wang Mang stood by, arms crossed, not saying a word. There was nothing for him and Tang Guosheng to communicate about at the moment.

"Old Tang, don't get too angry. This is something I decided after careful consideration," Ye Liuyun pouted.

"You considered carefully? Where did you consider carefully? All I see from you is a child's tantrum! Do you know how difficult it is for me in this position?

I only suspended your duties to stabilize them first and then make a move gradually. Why couldn't you give me some time? Wang Mang, you tell him!" Tang Guosheng was so angry he was gasping for breath.

Isn't this just a tantrum?

"I have nothing to say. I completely respect his decision. I am his Master, not his father. Even Old Ning can't directly order Ye Liuyun to do anything!"

It would have been better if Wang Mang hadn't spoken. As soon as he did, Tang Guosheng became even more furious.

What kind of talk is that!

What does 'not his father' mean!

"Alright, alright, Old Tang, let's just be direct. With my current strength, my identity and status are irrelevant to me.

The reason I'm saying this is to tell other countries that I am now a free man. Don't try any moral kidnapping!

If anyone tries to morally kidnap me, I'll go deal with them!

It's that simple. As for you, don't take it too seriously!" Ye Liuyun said earnestly.

"And I will make a trip to Hong Country. I'll settle all the old and new grievances at once!"

"What—"

Tang Guosheng sprang up in shock upon hearing this.

Go to Hong Country?

"Didn't this matter already conclude?" Tang Guosheng asked, full of confusion. Didn't Nakagawa already die? Why still go to Hong Country?

"Why not go? Could that mere Nakagawa have pushed things to this extent? I don't want to hear these rumors anymore in the future, so I'll just resolve it all at once!"

Tang Guosheng was about to say more, but he let out a soft sigh. He no longer had the authority to force Ye Liuyun. The man was no longer his soldier.

"I respect your choice, but what about the Vicious Beasts near Hong Country? If they are pushed too hard, Hong Country and the Vicious Beasts..."

Ye Liuyun's lips curled into a playful smile upon hearing this. "Old Tang, how many Vicious Beasts are there near them? This time, when I go, I'll deal with the Vicious Beasts there!

And while I'm at it, I'll deal with Hong Country too!"

Tang Guosheng's mouth twitched. This temper... "Fine, do as you wish. But I need to make one thing clear to you: no matter what, you are a soldier of Great Xia. This is an unchangeable fact. It's not something you can just terminate by saying so!

I haven't approved it yet, so you are still a Great Xia General!" Tang Guosheng said stubbornly.

"As you wish, Old Tang, but I will not hold any further positions in the military!" Ye Liuyun stood up and looked at Tang Guosheng.

He now held the initiative. He no longer needed to serve on any front lines or fight Vicious Beasts. He could go on his own anytime.

"You..."

Tang Guosheng was speechless with helplessness. He could only make do.

At least Ye Liuyun didn't reject what he said about his status. As long as the person was still in the military, he felt at ease. Whether Ye Liuyun acknowledged it or not, it was enough that he and Great Xia acknowledged it.

Wang Mang rolled his eyes at this scene. If he had known this, why bother in the first place? If Great Xia had strongly supported Ye Liuyun, the latter would have had to pay a price even if he wanted to do this.

But now, it just went according to Ye Liuyun's wishes.

Free from constraints.

One could only say that Tang Guosheng's decision was a mistake. He hadn't expected Ye Liuyun to be so reckless and act without any reservations.

"Alright, this matter is settled. I'll treat you to lunch. After lunch, you should hurry back to your work.

There's a lot to do there. As for the matter of Hong Country, I'll handle it myself!"

Ye Liuyun stood up and said with a smile.

"I won't say much more, but just one thing: please exercise extreme restraint. Don't destroy the entire Hong Country!"

"That's not for me to decide. However, Old Tang, if our people are in Hong Country, they should evacuate quickly.

Anyone from the foreign affairs office should evacuate quickly to avoid accidental injuries later," Ye Liuyun said with a grin, baring his teeth.

"Got it! I won't eat. I still have things to do back at Headquarters. Wang Mang, everything has been handled.

It's time you reined in your temper. No matter what, you must return to the Northern Front!"

Now, everyone outside was watching Great Xia become a laughingstock.

Even the Vicious Beasts were watching.

If Wang Mang didn't return for a long time, problems could easily arise in the north. Tang Guosheng also knew that Wang Mang was just throwing a tantrum, and once it passed, it would be over.

Besides, Ye Liuyun had already vented all his anger!

"Got it. Half a month, I'll travel for another half a month. Once I've had enough fun, I'll go back!" Wang Mang's reply made Tang Guosheng feel his blood pressure rising.

Ye Liuyun doing this was one thing, given his age, but this fellow Wang Mang was still playing these games with him!

"Just make sure you know what you're doing!"

Tang Guosheng turned and left. He felt that if he stayed here any longer, these two Master and Disciple would literally make him die of anger.

As soon as he stepped out, Zhen Bukuai at the door openly rolled his eyes at Tang Guosheng.

"Old Tang!"

The Chief of Staff walked forward and said.

"Let's go quickly! I don't want to stay here for another moment."

Wang Mang's Disciples, each one more annoying than the last. The key was that despite being annoyed, there was nothing he could do. How infuriating!

Zhen Bukuai snorted coldly and entered without acknowledging Tang Guosheng, his arms crossed. He couldn't be bothered with Tang Guosheng.

The two behind him were not much different from Zhen Bukuai!

The Chief of Staff lowered his head, not daring to look. In the military, Wang Mang's Disciples were notoriously difficult to deal with.

After Tang Guosheng left, the staff of the Chief of Staff's Office and the guard team all breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon returning to Headquarters.

Tang Guosheng ordered that Ye Liuyun's military rank and benefits be retained, but his position was temporarily canceled. Tang Xu would act as the Captain of the Supervisory Brigade of the Western Front.

He now wanted Ye Liuyun to come back, but Ye Liuyun wouldn't. So, this was the only way.

At the same time, Tang Guosheng ordered the recall of all personnel stationed in Hong Country.

Ye Liuyun had made his intentions clear in his words.

When he went to Hong Country, he would definitely cause a ruckus. It might even sink. If the people weren't recalled, it wouldn't be worth it if the island sank later.

Tang Guosheng only hoped that Ye Liuyun would kill a bunch of Vicious Beasts, vent his anger, and then obediently return.

No sooner had he finished all this than Tang Guosheng received a major piece of news.

All the high-ranking Vicious Beasts had gone to the Tianyun Mountain Range... The shocking nature of this news immediately overshadowed everything else.

Every time such a gathering occurred, it indicated that the Vicious Beasts were planning a major move!
