An Lutu was different from Lin Xiao; he held no hatred for Jiang Wuming.
From the beginning to the present, there was none.
He simply did not accept Jiang Wuming taking over the Loulan Legion.
On one hand, he learned from Lin Xiao that Jiang Wuming had only broken through to the Nine-Star Martial Artist realm a few months ago. With such strength, which was inferior even to his own, what qualifications did he have to lead the Loulan Legion in the future?
On the other hand, according to Lin Xiao, ever since Jiang Wuming's emergence, he had relied on Jiang Zhan's halo to cause trouble incessantly. How could such a character bear the banner of the Loulan Legion?
These two points had led to his preconceived negative impression of Jiang Wuming.
Besides, ever since he joined the Loulan Legion, he had been a member of the Vanguard Regiment. He had deep feelings for the Vanguard Regiment and Wang Tuo, and from the bottom of his heart, he hoped that the Wang Tuo he admired could become the future leader of the Loulan Legion!
And just now, he discovered that Jiang Wuming was completely different from what Lin Xiao had said.
Not only was Jiang Wuming a Two-Star War God, but he also did not rely on his own powerful strength to severely punish him and Lin Xiao. He had not even made a move against him.
This made him change his perception of Jiang Wuming. At the same time, he did not want Jiang Wuming to conflict with Wang Tuo because of this matter, so he spoke up to remind Jiang Wuming.
An Lutu's actions were completely beyond Jiang Wuming's expectations, so much so that he stopped in surprise.
As far as Jiang Wuming was concerned, he had been stopped by An Lutu twice without taking action because he had overheard An Lutu and Lin Xiao's conversation the night before and judged that An Lutu had been instigated by Lin Xiao.
Moreover, An Lutu had principles at the time and was unwilling to fight at the tomb of Jiang Zhan and Ye Jinmei.
Even if Jiang Wuming knew that Lin Xiao was seizing the opportunity for revenge and smearing Qin Xiaozhi, he still did not use excessive force.
This was because this was the ancient city of Loulan, a place that his father and mother had once protected with their lives, and Lin Xiao was also a member of the Loulan Legion!
Huh?
After a brief moment of surprise, Jiang Wuming's heart suddenly stirred, and he sensed a trace of energy fluctuation from the battlefield to the east of the ancient city.
This discovery made Jiang Wuming look back into the distance, but he only saw the empty ancient battlefield and the towering snow-capped mountains in the distance.
This left Jiang Wuming somewhat confused.
He did not leave in a hurry but stared intently at the ancient battlefield, sensing carefully.
At the same time.
Lin Xiao rushed to Wang Tuo's side at the fastest speed.
Including Wang Tuo and Mo Ling, all the soldiers of the Vanguard Regiment saw the injuries on Lin Xiao's face and were very surprised!
Among them, Mo Ling, as the Chief of Staff, glanced thoughtfully at Jiang Wuming in the distance.
Wang Tuo's eyebrows twitched, and he asked, "Lin Xiao, what happened to you?"
"Commander, An Lutu and I do not want Jiang Wuming to obtain the God-Slaying Blade and take over the Loulan Legion in the future! We both believe that you are the best candidate to be the future leader of the Loulan Legion! Therefore, we went to reason with Jiang Wuming, and he beat us!"
Lin Xiao said quickly, acting as if he was thinking of Wang Tuo in every way, completely omitting his old grievances with Jiang Wuming and the fact that he had just provoked Jiang Wuming by mentioning Qin Xiaozhi.
Wang Tuo's eyebrows twitched upon hearing this.
With his emotional intelligence and experience, he naturally understood that Lin Xiao finding Jiang Wuming and seeking justice for him was secondary; the primary reason was the past grudges.
"Didn't you say that Jiang Wuming only broke through to the Nine-Star Martial Artist realm a few months ago? How did he dare to make a move when you and An Lutu were together? Moreover, you two didn't fight back?"
Immediately, before Wang Tuo could speak, Mo Ling asked somewhat puzzled.
She could tell that Lin Xiao had been slapped by Jiang Wuming. The injury was not serious, but the insult was extremely strong!
Under such circumstances, with Lin Xiao's narrow-mindedness and An Lutu's fiery temper, it was impossible for them to let the matter rest.
Otherwise, the two of them would not have gone to trouble Jiang Wuming!
"He... he is a Two-Star War God!"
As Mo Ling's words fell, An Lutu ran over and said.
Swish, swish, swish...
Upon hearing An Lutu's words, the faces of Wang Tuo, Mo Ling, and the other soldiers of the Vanguard Regiment behind them changed, their faces filled with shock!
As for Wang Tuo and Mo Ling, like An Lutu, they had heard Jiang Wuming's exploits from Lin Xiao more than once and knew that Jiang Wuming had only broken through to the Nine-Star Martial Artist realm a few months ago.
As for the other soldiers of the Vanguard Regiment, they had already learned Jiang Wuming's identity last night and had heard about Jiang Wuming taking over the Loulan Legion.
Originally, they thought that Jiang Wuming did not have the strength and qualifications to take over the Loulan Legion, but now they learned that Jiang Wuming was a Two-Star War God!
"Lin Xiao, didn't you say he only broke through to the Nine-Star Martial Artist realm a few months ago? How is he a Two-Star War God now?!"
After the shock, Mo Ling looked at Lin Xiao.
"He has a special secret technique that can conceal his aura. He must have hidden his true strength."
Lin Xiao stated his judgment and understood why Taige, after breaking through to the One-Star War God, had been so vulnerable when facing Jiang Wuming.
"Twenty years old, possessing the strength of a Two-Star War God, arriving with the God-Slaying Blade, and deliberately hiding his strength, this Jiang Wuming is not here with good intentions!"
Mo Ling's eyes flickered, vaguely feeling that there was something fishy going on.
"Let's go, let me see how capable our Commander's son really is!"
Wang Tuo did not overthink but let out a low roar.
Lin Xiao was overjoyed, knowing that Wang Tuo was going to stand up for him.
An Lutu wanted to speak but stopped.
He wanted to dissuade Wang Tuo from conflicting with Jiang Wuming, but he also knew that Wang Tuo was an extremely protective superior.
In the past few years, the disciples of the martial divisions in the Vanguard Regiment had not had few conflicts with soldiers from other regiments. Every time, Wang Tuo only recognized his own soldiers and not the rights and wrongs. Even after being disciplined by Zheng Yuandong and Wu Yong multiple times, he never changed.
In Wang Tuo's words: "My soldiers, I can hit them, I can scold them, but you cannot!"
And because of all this, Wang Tuo enjoyed high prestige in the Vanguard Regiment and even the entire Loulan Legion.
As his voice fell, Wang Tuo stopped talking nonsense and took the lead, leading the three hundred soldiers of the Vanguard Regiment towards Jiang Wuming.
Whoosh!
At the same time, a supervisor of the Loulan Legion, hidden in the dark, heard the conversation between Wang Tuo and Lin Xiao, and immediately rushed towards the Loulan Legion's command headquarters.
Like all legions, supervisors were directly managed by the legion commander, and their function was to supervise and investigate personnel who violated military regulations.
He sensed that something big was about to happen, but he also knew Wang Tuo's protective nature, so he did not step forward to stop Wang Tuo, but instead went to report to Zheng Yuandong!
Soon, this supervisor arrived at the combat command headquarters and found that not only Zheng Yuandong was in the office but Wu Yong was also present.
"Reporting to the two leaders..."
The supervisor immediately reported the information he had obtained to Zheng Yuandong and Wu Yong.
"I know. You may go," Wu Yong waved his hand after hearing the supervisor's report, signaling the supervisor to leave.
"Yes, Chief!"
The supervisor left in a daze. Did the two chiefs not stop him?
"It seems Wuming is very restrained. He only slapped Lin Xiao. I thought he would make Lin Xiao lie in bed for months!"
After the supervisor left, Zheng Yuandong said, "However, if Wuming is so restrained, will he conflict with Wang Tuo?"
"You know Wang Tuo's protectiveness is famous," Wu Yong gave an indirect answer.
"Then what if Wang Tuo orders the entire Vanguard Regiment to surround and attack Wuming?"
Zheng Yuandong voiced his only worry.
"Wang Tuo will not do that."
Wu Yong shook his head and then added, "If he really did that, without you or me saying a word, Wuming would conquer all the soldiers of the Loulan Legion!"
"Why?"
"Jiang Zhan's son, only twenty, sweeps the Vanguard Regiment single-handedly, is that not enough?!"
Wu Yong retorted.
