【The Divine Eagle Empire】(Volume 5, Chapter 1)

Chapter 1 A King's Ambition

After a month-long trek, Wu Tianjiao and his companions finally crossed the Gabo Desert and arrived at a small town,

Stone Town. Even the strongest warriors would be exhausted after such a long journey through the desert, enduring scorching heat, bitter cold, and sandstorms

. Even peerless masters like the Sword Queen and the Three-Sound Saint Mother, upon

arriving in Stone Town and checking into the inn, remained in their rooms. If four Saint-level experts were like this, then

the Wu sisters and their companions were even more exhausted.

The women slept all day in the Stone Town inn. In the evening, when Dao Ji arrived at Wu Tianjiao's room

, she found it empty. Under the tea set on the table was a note. Dao Ji took it out and

read : "I have to go first. You can wait for me in Fengcheng.

" No one expected that Wu Tianjiao would abandon the women and secretly run away alone. When the Sword

Queen saw the note left by Wu Tianjiao, she was furious and cursed, "That little bastard! He abandoned us

here and ran off by himself! What's he up to?"

The Sword Maiden snorted and said discontentedly, "I bet he went to find his lover and

abandoned us because he didn't want us to get in his way!" The Sword Queen pondered for a moment,

then frowned and said, "Tianjiao's hometown is in Green Ridge Village. He was born in Sheep Head Town.

Now returned to his hometown, he's homesick. I think he's either gone to Sheep Head Town or Green Ridge!"

The matter was serious, so the Sword Queen immediately summoned the Three Sound Saintess and the Wu sisters. The women discussed the matter

for a while and finally decided that the Sword Queen, the Divine Sound Saintess, the Mysterious Sound Saintess, and the Wu sisters would escort Gong Chan and the other women to Wind City, while

the Thunder Sound Saintess, the Sword and Saber Twin Maidens, and Ying Ying'er would go to Sheep Head Town and Green Ridge to search for Wu Tianjiao.

Their arrangement was out of necessity. As the leader of the women among the Sword Queen, she needed to stay behind to oversee

the overall situation , so she couldn't be absent from the journey to Fengcheng. Among the Three Sound Saintesses, the Thunder Sound Saintesse

, with her boundless energy and restlessness, volunteered to go find Wu Tianjiao. Besides, Ying Ying'er couldn't be prevented from going; if

she wasn't allowed to go, she would probably run off to find Wu Tianjiao on her own, so it was better to let her

go with the Thunder Sound Saintesses and the others.

The Sword Queen's guess was correct: Wu Tianjiao, returning to his homeland, was filled with homesickness and left the inn alone, heading to Yangtou Town, hundreds

of miles away. Yangtou Town was his birthplace; the house he lived in as a child was there, and outside the town was

his mother's grave.

At noon, stepping into Yangtou Town, a familiar feeling instantly flooded Wu Tianjiao's heart, a

sense lingering within him.

Yangtou Town was still Yangtou Town, not much had changed. Several small inns remained open,

and the hunters selling furs still had their stalls lining the streets, their faces beaming with enthusiasm

as they called out their wares.

Yangtou Town was just a small town, but it was quite prosperous. Because

so , the local mountain goods were incredibly diverse and plentiful. The relatively low prices of Green Ridge's goods

were a major draw for outside merchants.

Seeing the hunters selling furs at their stalls along the street, Wu Tianjiao felt a strange, inexplicable surge of emotion

welling ; his eyes even moistened. He seemed to

see a shadow of someone who had once set up a small stall here.

Wu Tianjiao wiped his eyes, his nose stinging. He muttered to himself, "Strange, why

are my eyes always watering lately? Am I sad? I should be happy to be returning home in glory, shouldn't I?"

Wu Tianjiao's shifty eyes darted around, finally lighting up as he ran towards a tastefully decorated

inn.

"Sir, please come in, please come in! What would you like?" the innkeeper greeted him warmly, bustling

about .

This wasn't without reason; Wu Tianjiao's clothes were quite nice, though not as luxurious as those of

noblemen , but still presentable enough to warrant the innkeeper's enthusiasm. After all, a guest is a guest, and no one would

turn away a cash cow.

Wu Tianjiao looked around again, grabbed the innkeeper, and said, "Waiter, is your manager here?" He seemed to

have reverted his rude manner from over four years ago, unchanged.

The innkeeper was startled, thinking he was about to fight. However, seeing Wu Tianjiao's friendly demeanor, he

relaxed, still a little shaken, and cautiously said, "The manager is behind us. Is there anything you need, sir

? If it's anything, I can help."

This innkeeper was quite quick-witted.

Wu Tianjiao put him down, sat down abruptly, waved his hand, and said, "Go, go, call your manager. I

need to discuss something with him." His arrogant demeanor made it seem as if the inn belonged to him.

The innkeeper, with his discerning eyes, knew Wu Tianjiao was not

someone if Wu Tianjiao pleased him, he'd be richly rewarded, but if he displeased him, he

'd be in for a rough time. Without a word, he quickly ran off; it was best to leave this to the manager.

A short while later, a slightly overweight middle-aged man emerged, followed by the

innkeeper .

Wu Tianjiao glanced at the middle-aged man and muttered to himself, "Damn it, why are so many shopkeepers

so fat? Have they been eating too much? Jin Buhuan is so fat too, they're practically brothers!

No creativity at all. If it were me, I'd definitely choose a beautiful woman as the shopkeeper; the business would be booming! It wouldn't be a waste of a beautiful woman's time,

and I'd make money too—it's a perfect solution!"

His mind was filled with thoughts of beautiful women; they were the first thing he thought of in everything, perhaps because he was surrounded by

so many .

"What brings you here, sir?" the shopkeeper asked, bowing to Wu Tianjiao.

Wu Tianjiao waved his hand and said, "Alright, stop arguing with me

. Sit down; I have something to discuss with you. Jin Buhuan didn't invite you here to be a pedantic scholar."

Hearing Wu Tianjiao address him by his name, "Jin Buhuan," the shopkeeper's heart skipped a beat. Wu Tianjiao's words

carried significant weight, and he dared not be negligent. He quickly sat down as instructed and ordered the shop assistant to serve him fragrant tea.

"What can I do for you, young master? I'm all ears." For a moment, the shopkeeper couldn't guess Wu Tianjiao's identity.

Wu Tianjiao helplessly rubbed his nose, glanced at the shopkeeper, and then furtively nuzzled closer.

He chuckled and said, "Come on, take a look. Do you recognize this? If you don't

, I'll be in big trouble. I'll definitely give Jin Buhuan a good beating." His words were anything but flattering.

Wu Tianjiao took out the Hualong iron plaque that Jin Buhuan had given him from his chest. Upon seeing the plaque, the shopkeeper

was alarmed. As the person in charge of this area, he had certainly seen this plaque before, once from the guild leader

.

The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "Young master, may I have a look at this plaque?"

Wu Tianjiao wasn't stupid; he understood that the shopkeeper feared the plaque was fake. He immediately tossed the plaque to

him, saying, "Look, look carefully, don't let your eyes deceive you."

The shopkeeper examined it repeatedly, and after confirming that the plaque was genuine, he returned it to Wu Tianjiao,

immediately bowing respectfully and saying, "This must be Young Master Wu. I was rude earlier; please forgive me."

It seemed that Jin Buhuan had made arrangements with all the shops across the country.

Wu Tianjiao waved his hand and said, "No need for formalities. Hehe, let me ask you, could you help

me get some top-quality weapons? Hmm... I need ten thousand, preferably all eighteen types of weapons. But

the weapons must be of high quality, all forged a hundred times."

Before even arriving in Fengcheng, Wu Tianjiao had already begun planning ahead, intending to build his own power. To build power,

an army is indispensable. Although Hanhai County is large, acquiring ten thousand weapons, and all eighteen types

at that, in a short time is no easy task. Therefore, he decided to approach the shops of the Hualong Chamber of Commerce.

This small matter was nothing to the Hualong Chamber of Commerce. The shopkeeper immediately agreed,

saying, "Don't worry, young master, I can handle this within three days."

Wu Tianjiao, of course, trusted the strength of the Hualong Chamber of Commerce. He had witnessed their speed of action before,

so he didn't say anything more.

The innkeeper, naturally, treated Wu Tianjiao, an extraordinary guest, with special respect, saying, "

Young master, how about dining here?"

Wu Tianjiao readily agreed, nodding, "Of course, bring me some good food."

"Young master, please move to the back; there are private rooms available," the innkeeper hurriedly said.

Wu Tianjiao waved his hand, pointing upstairs, and said, "No need, I'll just go to the second floor."

He enjoyed the hustle and bustle, and having not returned to Yangtou Town for many years, he figured it would be good to listen upstairs and hear

what was happening in Yangtou Town recently.

The innkeeper, of course, complied with Wu Tianjiao's request.

It seemed Jin Buhuan had a discerning eye; the wild game prepared by this inn was truly impeccable.

This inn was probably more than just a place to source wild game for the restaurants and inns in the area.

After all, Green Ridge was the largest mountain range in the northwest of the Divine Eagle Empire, connected to the Demon Beast Forest, and was rich in

birds and beasts. Wu Tianjiao suddenly remembered something. If he were to establish an army and teach martial arts, what

if some soldiers were illiterate ? He couldn't possibly instruct them all himself, could he? With so many people, wouldn't he be exhausted? At the same time, he recalled a saying Xiao Yunhua had taught him: "Those who are only skilled in martial arts but not in literature are mere brutes . The best people for governing the country are those who are skilled in both literature and martial arts, suitable for 　　both generalship and administration." Yes, that's right. It would be best to hire more strategists and advisors. A , as if he had seen something, or anticipated something. 　　Wu Tianjiao was unaware that a significant change was beginning to occur within him. His dream was no longer the same as when he was a child—to simply be the richest man in Green Ridge. That small dream was no longer suitable for a dragon like him. 　　Perhaps he didn't realize that from the moment he decided to establish an army, ambition had been planted in his heart, simply waiting for the right opportunity to sprout and grow. 　　Wu Tianjiao was no longer the Wu Tianjiao of the past. 　　The God of Fate has already put Wu Tianjiao on the right track; he will embark on his path to becoming a king. Although he is still far from that path, the ambition to conquer is already in his heart, and that is enough, for his heart has changed. Even the God of Fate is likely waiting for . 　　A king has come into this world, destined to walk the path of kingship. In the past, this , because Wu Tianjiao was full of changes, and his heart remained unchanged. Now it's different; his ambition is gradually taking shape, just waiting for the right moment to mature. 　　What kind of storm will Wu Tianjiao bring to the Dragon Continent? At this moment, perhaps no one knows, not even the God of Fate. 　　Because Wu Tianjiao is lawless and cannot be judged by normal human reasoning, no one knows what he will do next. 　　"Hey, Shanhuzi, the story Zhao told yesterday about Zhang Wangsan breaking through the customs was really good! The story isn't finished yet. I have some free time later, I'll go listen to another part. Want to come?" A voice as rough as a broken gong rang out. 　　"Go, of course I'll go! Damn it, which storyteller Zhao told that I, Shanhuzi, haven't been to? I can recite his stories by heart!" Another voice was full of pride. 　　The two people speaking were upstairs guests, and judging from their appearance, they were also hunters . 　　Wu Tianjiao's eyes lit up when he heard this. Damn it, perfect! I was just wondering where to find a teacher, and now it's Zhao the storyteller. 　　Zhao the storyteller was a minor celebrity in Yangtou Town. His stories were exceptionally good, often keeping people engrossed and forgetting about time. Wu Tianjiao used to often go to his place to listen to his stories Whenever he came to Yangtou Town, he would go to Zhao the storyteller's place to listen to half a day of stories. 　　At this moment, everyone upstairs suddenly fell silent. A beautiful young woman entered through the door, accompanied by four maids. 　　Judging from her appearance, she was quite imposing, adorned in silks and satins, embellished with gold and silver, her entire body sparkling with jewels . It was clear at a glance that her jewelry was very valuable. She was truly alluring, possessing a captivating feminine charm. 　　When Wu Tianjiao saw this young woman, he was momentarily stunned, a vague image flashing through his mind…

He racked his brains, but he couldn't remember who this young woman was.

Wu Tianjiao stared blankly at her, wondering, "Who is this woman? She looks

so familiar, but I just can't place her."

This young woman was quite imposing; she sat down, behaving arrogantly as if this were her own home. Moreover, she

ordered the best food and drinks in the inn, indicating her family was very wealthy. She ordered over ten

kinds of . Looking at her frail appearance, could she really eat so much?

"What kind of dish is this? It's so awful! Is this stir-fried snake heart? Why isn't it the same as the stir-fried snake heart in my manor?

The snake hearts used in my manor's stir-fried snake heart are made from the most venomous snake in Green Ridge, the golden and silver five-step snake. And

this braised bear paw, why does it sound so awful? Is the ginseng in it some kind of century-old ginseng...?"

The young woman kept nagging, complaining about this dish and that dish for lacking flavor. Judging

from manner, it seemed as if she possessed mountains of gold and silver, and that she ate only the finest wines and delicacies.

The innkeeper's eyes clearly showed impatience, but he still smiled and explained everything, maintaining

excellent .

The diners upstairs remained silent, eating their meals in quiet contemplation.

Wu Tianjiao wasn't stupid; he could see through the young woman's intentions. He muttered to himself,

"Damn it, whose wife is this? She's so annoying. You're rich, don't people know that?

Why do you have to come here to show off? What an idiot! I wonder what kind of person would marry such an idiot woman?"

After a while, the young woman left triumphantly with her maid.

Wu Tianjiao felt strange; the woman looked so familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was.

Finally, unable to contain his curiosity, he called over the innkeeper and asked, "Hey, innkeeper,

who ?"

The innkeeper hurriedly replied, "She's the current magistrate's wife." His eyes showed disgust; it seemed

this magistrate's wife had dined here before.

"The magistrate's wife? Who was her daughter before?" Wu Tianjiao still couldn't remember.

The shopkeeper was taken aback, but still honestly replied, "It's the precious daughter of Master Liu."

"Uh—" Hearing this, Wu Tianjiao nearly choked on his tea, his face contorted in a strange expression, speechless for a moment

.

Miss Liu, wasn't she the most beautiful woman in Yangtou Town, the one he had once most wanted to marry? Thinking of the young woman's appearance

just now , Wu Tianjiao couldn't help but shudder, breaking out in a cold sweat!

"My goodness! A woman like that, isn't she going to kill me? Damn it, what was

I thinking, falling for a woman like that? Every woman I

've ever been with is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than her. Looks like my judgment of women has been seriously flawed!"

At this moment, Wu Tianjiao patted his chest in shock. He, who was usually fearless

, was now terrified, yet also incredibly grateful: "Thank God!"

When Wu Tianjiao was young, he had always dreamed of marrying the daughter of

the wealthy . He felt that marrying Miss Liu would be a blessing earned over several lifetimes, something that would

make countless people envious.

It's no wonder Wu Tianjiao thought this way when he was young; back then, he was just a country bumpkin,

a frog in a well, inexperienced in the ways of the world. And Miss Liu was indeed one of the most beautiful women in Yangtou Town, delicate and charming,

exuding nobility, naturally captivating many men.

Many years later, when Wu Tianjiao recalled this incident, he couldn't help but feel ashamed. He never imagined that his

highest was to marry Miss Liu. He never thought that one day he would dominate the entire Dragon Continent,

getting whatever he wanted.
