"Marshal, should we continue the siege?" Hu Bo's face changed, becoming exceptionally loyal and brave, as if waiting for Wang Xiaoqiang's command to charge towards the wall formation regardless of the consequences, determined to breach the city's defenses or die trying.

This wall formation is too formidable, breaking through is not easy, and even if we succeed now, our force of seventeen thousand troops entering the city couldn't withstand the crushing might of Ann Guochu's million-man formation.

The timing is not mature.

Wang Xiaoqiang shook his head and ordered a retreat. The Myriad Circle Spirit Formation and seven Thousand-Position Spirit Formations began their great withdrawal.

On the way back to Dragon City, Wang Xiaoqiang released Taiyi and the two sisters from the Yans Family. Upon emerging from the ring space, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang returning safely with the troops to Dragon City, the three of them heaved a sigh of relief.

Wang Xiaoqiang first used Divine Sense to check True Person of Taiyi's cultivation base and saw that he had already broken through to the True Immortal Realm and reached the True Immortal Realm Third Stage, feeling a burst of delight and relief, he then said with a smile, "Taiyi, well done, you're a real Immortal now."

"Indeed, my wish to come to the Immortal Realm has been accomplished, but Little Qiang, I owe it to the pills you gave me!" True Person of Taiyi said gratefully.

"Alright, we're fellow countrymen, it's only right for me to take care of you," Wang Xiaoqiang said as he took out three superior pills from the Sumeru Ring and quietly handed them to Taiyi.

Seeing the superior pills, True Person of Taiyi was so excited that his beard trembled; he quickly took them and tucked them into his robes, then tightly gripped Wang Xiaoqiang's hand, "Thank you."

Wang Xiaoqiang patted his shoulder, "I told you, we're fellow countrymen."

Speaking thus, Wang Xiaoqiang let go of True Person of Taiyi's shoulder and embraced the two sisters from the Yans Family in his arms. Reuniting after a long separation, Wang Xiaoqiang and these two women naturally poured out their hearts.

The Yans Family sisters exchanged glances, then made an unusual hugging gesture, and suddenly each had a child about one year old in their arms.

They were boys, chubby and adorable!

Then the sisters pointed to Wang Xiaoqiang and said to the two babies, "Quick, call Daddy."

Wang Xiaoqiang was a bit stunned at this.

With a quick recall, he realized that when he left the Yue Marquis Mansion, the two women were already pregnant, and after more than a year, the children should indeed be this big.

The two little ones couldn't speak yet, they only squinted and smiled at Wang Xiaoqiang.

These two children originally looked very much like Wang Xiaoqiang, and now with a smile, they resembled him even more, smiling in a somewhat mischievous way, much like Wang Xiaoqiang's expression when he sees a pretty woman.

Wang Xiaoqiang took the two little ones in his arms, then soared into the sky, saying to them, "Let's go, Daddy will take you for a ride."

A one-year-old child flying in the sky, this was too joking. The sisters from the Yans Family screamed and chased after them in fear.

Wang Xiaoqiang would not joke around with his own children; as he flew up, he immediately deployed a Soldier Aura Barrier to protect the children, shielding them from the strong winds at high altitudes.

After learning that Ann Guochu had occupied the Yue Land, Yans Ruxue's sisters had prudently put their children into the storage ring, only now feeling safe enough to bring them out.

At this moment, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang take the children to fly in the high skies made them panic and rush after him. Upon reaching the high sky and seeing Wang Xiaoqiang protect the kids with a Soldier Aura Barrier, they felt relieved.

The little ones giggled, their bubbly laughter was pleasant to hear, delightfully innocent during the rapid flight.

The sisters from the Yans Family were delighted yet teasing, Yans Ruxue said, "They're so young, you're taking them to fly..."

"Cultivation should start early. By practicing now, they won't fear heights when flying as adults!" Wang Xiaoqiang's reply made the sisters smile wryly.

Just before arriving at Dragon City, outside Dragon City, they encountered Old Master, who was with Fang Qiu to block their path. He appeared indignant, pointing at Wang Xiaoqiang from a distance and said, "Wang Xiaoqiang, how dare you secretly abduct students from Yueyang Academy!"

Wang Xiaoqiang handed the two children to their mothers, quickly flew forward, and respectfully said to Old Master, "Master, I'm sorry, I acted first and reported later, but I didn't abduct anybody."

"Don't call me Master, I'm not your Master, and I never taught you," Old Master roared, his genteel face flushed with anger.

"Master, listen to me, Ann Miaoyi is doing very well; she's with her father Ann Guochu right now. I only escorted her there, I didn't harm her... You can ask her." Wang Xiaoqiang said, then used willpower to release Xiaoo Jianmei from the Sumeru Ring.

Xiaoo Jianmei emerged from the Sumeru Ring, looking a little bewildered, yet still calm, secretly breathed easier after seeing Old Master, and paid him respect, "Master."

Old Master used Divine Sense to check Xiaoo Jianmei and, seeing she wasn't injured, asked, "Did Wang Xiaoqiang harm you?"

"Reporting to Master, no," Xiaoo Jianmei replied.

Xiaoo Jianmei was a clever woman; she knew Wang Xiaoqiang was about to become the Lord Imperial Son-in-Law, holding a high position, and she usually was close with Ann Miaoyi. With Ann Miaoyi's father Ann Guochu's rebellion, she might face repercussions. If she could please Wang Xiaoqiang now, it would greatly benefit her future.

"I ask you again, is Ann Miaoyi safe? Was she harmed by Wang Xiaoqiang?" Old Master inquired gravely.

Xiaoo Jianmei replied, "No, she is very well!"

Old Master sighed in relief, pointing at Wang Xiaoqiang, "Wang Xiaoqiang, you kidnapped Yueyang Academy's student, you disgraced me!"

Wang Xiaoqiang laughed and said, "Master, how can you say that? I escorted Ann Miaoyi to find her father with mutual consent, I neither forced nor harmed her."

Old Master naturally didn't believe Wang Xiaoqiang's words; knowing well the enmity between Wang Xiaoqiang and Ann Guochu, how could Wang Xiaoqiang benevolently escort Ann Miaoyi? So he asked Xiaoo Jianmei again, "Truthfully, did Wang Xiaoqiang force Ann Miaoyi?"

Xiaoo Jianmei was smart; she knew Ann Miaoyi had gone to the traitor Ann Guochu's side, having no return to Yueyang Academy, so anything she said was correct and wouldn't be exposed as false. Thus there was no need to offend Wang Xiaoqiang, and she earnestly shook her head, "No."

Old Master, hearing this, displayed a peculiar smile and said to Wang Xiaoqiang, "I won't pursue this matter, but henceforth you're not a student of Yueyang Academy, and Yueyang Academy is closed to you."

Wang Xiaoqiang smiled easily, bowed to Old Master, and said, "Master, now that Ann Guochu has rebelled and the country is in turmoil, I, Wang Xiaoqiang, must join the grand movement to protect the nation. How can I have the leisure to study at the academy? Even if you invited me with an elaborate sedan chair, I wouldn't go."

As Wang Xiaoqiang spoke, he flicked his sleeve and flew off towards the distant sky, leaving behind a haughty departing figure.

For the first time in his life, Old Master was at a loss, with a trace of embarrassment appearing on his face.

Fang Qiu mustered up the courage and said, "Master, I think the punishment for Wang Xiaoqiang was a bit excessive! Ann Miaoyi is the daughter of a traitor, but there was no need to expel such an excellent student from the academy because of her."

"It's true that Ann Miaoyi is the daughter of a traitor, but she herself is not a traitor. Since she is a student of Yueyang Academy, we have the responsibility to protect her safety," said Old Master, waving his hand. "Enough, don't bring this up again."

Wang Xiaoqiang settled his two women, two sons, and True Person of Taiyi at the Dragon Gate Inn in Dragon City, and then entered the palace to find Huang Ce.

Upon meeting, Huang Ce asked, "So, did you get the person back?"

Wang Xiaoqiang nodded and said, "Ann Guochu still has some humanity; at the very least, he deeply loves his daughter, so he had to release my people. But this is also his weakness; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get the person back."

"That's good!" Huang Ce breathed a sigh of relief, "But Little Qiang, this matter is not over. I suspect that Old Master will soon ask you for the person. If you're afraid of him, you can stay here, and I'll help you explain."

Wang Xiaoqiang laughed and said, "We've already met, and the matter is settled."

Huang Ce looked surprised and asked, "Uh, Old Master didn't give you a hard time?"

"No," Wang Xiaoqiang shook his head.

"Little Qiang, you really have some skills; that Old Master is extremely pedantic and stubborn, even I am afraid of him a bit. I didn't expect you to deal with him so easily? I'm impressed!"

Wang Xiaoqiang smiled and said, "As you said, Ann Guochu has indeed initiated the Wall Formation; it's very solid, and breaking it won't be easy..."

Huang Ce nodded absently, "Little Qiang, what you need to know is that the Feudal Kings south of Yue Land have all rebelled with Ann Guochu,"

"So, the vast territory south of Yue Land no longer belongs to the Yellow Dragon Empire?"

"Yes," Huang Ce gritted his teeth, "but the Feudal Kings north of Yue Land are still comparatively obedient."

"Your Majesty, actually, to kill the traitor Ann Guochu and recover the lost territories is not difficult. As long as there are a large number of elite soldiers, I am confident I can achieve it."

"Little Qiang, currently I can only rely on you," Huang Ce patted Wang Xiaoqiang's shoulder, "However many troops you need, I will dispatch them."

"A hundred thousand elite soldiers will be enough!"

"Is a hundred thousand enough?"

"It's enough; more would be unmanageable and would instead become a burden."

"Alright, I'll reassign the troops to the old barracks at Liu Jingtun for you to command and dispatch. Tomorrow, I will announce to the world and appoint you as the Great General of Rebellion Suppression, commanding all the nation's soldiers and horses."

Immediately afterward, the lord and his subordinate discussed for a while longer, and once decisions were made, Wang Xiaoqiang took his leave and brought seventeen thousand soldiers to Liu Jingtun.

Liu Jingtun is the old barracks of the Yellow Dragon Empire, with a history of several thousand years; the barracks are very large, but now they are empty as Ann Guochu took all the soldiers and generals.

When seventeen thousand soldiers were stationed in Liu Jingtun, Wang Xiaoqiang returned to the Dragon Gate Inn in Dragon City, sharing the joy of family life with the two women from the Yans Family and his two children.

State affairs and world affairs are not as important as his family affairs, nor are they as important as Wang Xiaoqiang's personal happiness!

Having been apart for so long, Wang Xiaoqiang and the two women of the Yans Family naturally had a lot of intimate matters to talk about. True Person of Taiyi was tactful, playing the role of a nanny and personally taking care of the two children,

...

After Huang Ce issued the imperial edict, Wang Xiaoqiang emerged as a Great General, wearing his general's attire daily, swaggering around Dragon City and the Imperial Palace. The citizens of Dragon City respectfully saluted and greeted him upon seeing him.

Everywhere he went, he was deeply admired by all.

Wang Xiaoqiang felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

What also satisfied him was getting milk at night. Whether it was because of their ample bosoms or not, the milk of the Yans Family sisters was indeed plentiful, and their son couldn't finish it at all. This turned out to be a boon for Wang Xiaoqiang.

While enjoying this benefit, Wang Xiaoqiang also helped relieve the "swelling" for the two women.

The best of both worlds!

Of course, he would occasionally pay a visit to Guan Qingsi, but Sister Guan didn't have such benefits as milk.

After all, she hadn't had any children yet.

Wang Xiaoqiang was planning the grand scheme of creating people. On Earth, he already had seven sons, while in the Immortal Realm, he had five sons already, which was far from reaching his planned target.

So, he considered developing Jiang Yingxue and Sai Ya as well, letting them contribute to his plan of creating people.

Of course, creating people was secondary; the primary focus was cultivation and the rebellion suppression plan. Now that he was the Great General of Rebellion Suppression, the task of suppressing the rebellion fell entirely upon him,

His responsibility is immense. An inescapable duty. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
