Chapter 446: 228: Heroes Bow Down_2

Otherwise, Gui Lianyun and Zhang Chanyi would not have been injured before their fight with Lu Yuan, which weakened their strength.

Why didn’t those people kill the two of them previously?

Especially Zhang Chanyi, who was fighting Bai Mengyang before facing Lu Yuan.

The Wuan Marquis couldn’t kill him, but he ended up dead by Lu Yuan’s hands. Doesn’t this show skill?

Therefore, taking into account the above considerations.

Everyone knew that Lu Yuan’s actual strength wasn’t as strong as his combat achievements appeared.

But having the power equivalent to seven or eight times his combat accomplishments, and extremely good luck to find loopholes twice consecutively, helps to build his powerful reputation.

Having these advantages is enough to instill fear in others.

Thus, the flattery at the banquet seemed sincere from everyone present.

Lu Yuan, with a hint of a smile on his face, listened to the numerous words of congratulations around him. He was in high spirits.

A true man should stand in the clouds, admired by everyone, and be respected by all. Only then would his life not be wasted.

Since he crossed over, he trained martial arts and studied every day for several years with an almost insane level of discipline, sometimes even adventuring outside. He endured so much hardship for what?

Apart from wanting to protect himself, wasn’t he seeking the glory and splendor in front of him?

Now, after struggling for several years, he has become strong, has a kingdom, an army, a populace, a beloved wife, glory, and reputation.

It can be said that all of these were earned through his hard work and sweat.

Although his golden finger did play a role, his own efforts were equally important.

Otherwise, you try letting someone else maintain high-intensity martial arts training, study, and work for over a decade, every day?

Anyone who can do this can speak about Lu Yuan’s other achievements.

However, Lu Yuan, despite being extremely pleased, remained humble in the face of the praises. He toasted everyone at the banquet with modesty.

He poured another cup of wine and gratefully said to Bai Mengyang: “I was able to kill Zhang Chanyi because the Wuan Marquis severely wounded him before I could even fight him. This gave me an advantage.

This is only due to the virtue of the Wuan Marquis.

The credit for Zhang Chanyi’s death is half due to the Wuan Marquis. I toast to the Wuan Marquis in respect.”

One shouldn’t be the target of public criticism, nor monopolize all the glory.

Because that often means, you’re putting yourself in the spotlight, under everyone’s gaze.

Although Lu Yuan is well aware that, given his current status, it’s impossible to avoid attracting attention.

But reducing the number of gazes on himself and having people think less of him is always better.

Showing modesty and weakness at this time, regardless of whether anyone believes it or not.

There are so many people in the world, maybe a few fools could be deceived?

As long as he can deceive some, it would be a sure win for Lu Yuan.

So, the key to moving forward is steady progress, careful consideration, and caution.

The reason Lu Yuan has made it this far without any problems is his steadiness. This is his greatest wealth.

The Wuan Marquis gave him a meaningful look after hearing his toast, smiled, raised his cup to drink a mouthful, and then said, “King of Changsha is indeed a dragon among men, who is indifferent to honor or disgrace, modest and polite, advance and retreat with propriety. Since Your Highness said so, this Marquis won’t be polite and will take this credit shamelessly.”

With a mighty enemy at the gates, although the Zhou People have been majorly defeated, and nearly two hundred thousand of their soldiers have been lost on the front and back.

But considering the foundation of Zhou Country, out of six or seven hundred thousand robust soldiers, just losing two hundred thousand soldiers is only one-third of their total strength.

Although it’s a major blow to their vitality, it doesn’t mean they have lost the power to fight again.

Just like Yue Country, having undergone three rebellions, three national wars, and nearly a decade of upheaval.

But even today, aren’t they still able to muster more than a hundred thousand elite soldiers for a Northern Expedition against Zhou Country?

Therefore, if Zhou decides to dispatch two hundred thousand soldiers to the south, they can completely achieve this.

Regarding the loss of two Inborns.

The Zhou people have eight Pillar States in front, back, left, right, east, west, south, and north.

The eight Grand Generals of these Pillar States are all Inborn Grandmasters. Even if they lost Zhang Chanyi and Gui Lianyun, they still have six Inborn Grandmasters left. If Li Xiong is included, they still have seven.

Therefore, if necessary, Zhou could dispatch two or three Inborn Grandmasters to support the front line of the battlefield.

With Zhou Country’s foundation, they can completely summon a massive army and wage another war with the United Army.

Having such a formidable enemy in front, the alliance, no matter how many contradictions they have, cannot erupt. They must temporarily stabilize and continue to keep a united front.

Thus, even though Bai Mengyang noticed Lu Yuan’s intention of downplaying his achievements, he didn’t say much. Instead, he cooperated and played along.

The others present immediately understood the stance of the two leaders in the alliance, regardless of what they were thinking, they all played along with the act.

What followed was a scene where Lu Yuan praised Bai Mengyang, Bai Mengyang praised Yan Wangqiu, Yan Wangqiu praised Su Xuange, Su Xuange praised Yang Jing, and Yang Jing praised Lu Yuan in return.
