The Tang Family’s Seven Os

A chill went down the spine of the crowd and they shivered, but the Liaison Officer interrupted them, “What are you thinking, that’s the Major General and Commander, it’s not possible.”

It’s scary because it was the Major General and the Commander!

The crowd barely managed to hold back the waves of shock that were surging through their hearts.
They left silently as they wanted to eat another pot of crayfish to calm down.

The next day, when Tang Wu Yuan was walking around the army headquarters, he felt that everyone was looking at him strangely, some of them even whispering behind his back in spite of the discipline.

Tang Wu Yuan looked at himself as he walked pass a reflective surface, he was dressed neatly, his face was clean, his hair was not messy, and everything was normal.

As he was wondering, a burly man came towards him, aggressive, at a glance he was coming for him.

Tang Wu Yuan knew this man, he was one of Song Xiao Bai’s close associates and his most loyal supporter.
It is said that Song Xiao Bai saved his life before and he has been loyal to Song Xiao Bai since then.

His name is Zhu Qiang1朱强 (zhū qiáng), the qiang means strong/powerful, a Beta, and like his name, he is a very strong-looking man.
He is tall and with arms covered in muscles, his eyes are now red and he is looking at Tang Wu Yuan with a face of indignation, looking like a fierce beast from afar.

He was followed by several of Song Xiao Bai’s cronies, all of whom were looking at Tang Wu Yuan with a furious expression, as if he had done something unforgivable.

Tang Wu Yuan stopped walking and rubbed his chin in thought.
He had neither deliberately knocked on the door this morning to wake Song Xiao Bai up, nor had he deliberately leave a few footprints in front of Song Xiao Bai’s door to challenge Song Snapdragon’s mysophobia, he could say that he had been very friendly today ah, what do these people mean.

He was looking down in thought when Zhu Qiang had already walked up to him aggressively and asked in a gruff voice: “What did you do to the Major General yesterday?”

Yesterday……Tang Wu Yuan pondered for a moment, yesterday he had called Teacher Bai to tell on him, but Zhu Qiang should not have known about it.
After all, the titular Major General still had to listen to his mother, Song Xiao Bai must be too embarrassed to say anything.

Tang Wu Yuan was looking down in thought when the Liaison Officer rushed out from some corner and stopped Zhu Qiang with a hand, saying urgently: ” You don’t be impulsive, talk to the Commander properly if you have anything to say.”

Unfortunately, the Liaison Officer was too skinny and could not stop Zhu Qiang’s strong body.
Zhu Qiang came up to Tang Wu Yuan and asked again with a fierce face: “What exactly did you do to the Major General yesterday?”

Apart from what happened with Teacher Bai, there was only one thing left, Tang Wu Yuan spoke up in a clear voice, “Yesterday I ate him2LOL ok so he says “我昨天吃了他……” if another word is added, him could become his, probably his crayfish.……”

Before he could finish, Zhu Qiang’s eyes were already red, and he rushed forward with a yell, “You’re brazen! I’ll fight with you!”

Tang Wu Yuan looked at Zhu Qiang’s fist swinging over, his eyes abruptly lit up and an excited smile appeared on his face.

Finally, there was a legitimate reason to fight!

You need to know that he hadn’t had a good fight for a long time since he had joined the Golden Eagle Army due to the strict discipline of the Golden Eagle Army.
Zhu Qiang is so burly and he is a good fighter at first glance.
He has long wanted to have a competition with Zhu Qiang, but he has been suffering from no chance.
This time, it can be considered that he had waited and got it!

Zhu Qiang’s fist came straight at his cheek and when people around him looked at Tang Wu Yuan’s soft cheek, they could not help but suck in a breath of cold air, inexplicably feeling a sense of pain.

How could you do that to such a white and tender face? Some people could not bear to look and turned their heads away.

Tang Wu Yuan’s pupils opened slightly, the corners of his mouth hooked up, and he dodged to the side very quickly, Zhu Qiang’s fist brushed his cheek, and only the wind from his fist blew his hair.

Zhu Qiang saw that the blow had missed and he came at him with his fist again, but Tang Wu Yuan crouched down and swept his leg very quickly.
Zhu Qiang was not prepared and suddenly fell to the ground, covered in mud.

The corners of Tang’s mouth lifted in pleasure as he rushed forward and started punching him, hitting his flesh with every punch.

Zhu Qiang screamed a few times as he was beaten up, only when he could find the right moment to swing his fist did he quickly get up from the ground.
His body was in pain and numb from the fall, but he didn’t care so much and dodged because Tang Wu Yuan put his fist away and kicked him instead.
Within a moment, he could only retreat in confusion.

Tang Wu Yuan was not as strong as Zhu Qiang, and because he was an Omega, his physical strength was naturally weaker, His advantage lies in being more agile and lighter, and his reflexes were excellent.

After a few rounds, Zhu Qiang failed to hit him with a single punch, but was instead beaten to a pulp.
His screams spilled out of his mouth one after another, each more miserable than the one before.

Seeing that Zhu Qiang was so beaten that he could not even resist, the Liaison Officer rushed up to stop Tang Wu Yuan and said curtly: “Commander, you are generous3大人有大量 (dà rén yǒu dà liàng): refers to a person who is big hearted and doesn’t hold grudges., don’t be angry with him, he will not dare to do it again, please let him go.”

Tang Wu Yuan withdrew his leg, patted the dust on his hand, and gave Zhu Qiang a condescending look, he didn’t expect that he grew strong and sturdy, but his strength was so much.

I just ate a plate of crayfish from your Major General! Is it such a big deal? You unlucky bear child!

Zhu Qiang fell to the ground, looking at the disgust in Tang Wu Yuan’s eyes.
He was on the verge of tears, his face pale as he panted raggedly, his heart angry and scared, cold sweat dripping down his back, how come no one had ever told him before that this soft and white looking Commander was so capable of fighting!

The men around him gave him a sympathetic look, we’ve told you before, it’s you yourself who didn’t believe it!

Tang WuYuan straightened his uniform and when he looked up, he saw Song Xiao Bai standing not far in front of him with a sullen face.
Next to him stood a man who was looking at Tang Wu Yuan with a smirk.
This man was tall and thin, but his face had an evil aura, his slender eyes seemed to glitter with the light of a viper at all times.

Tang Wu Yuan gets annoyed at the sight of him.
This person is the Empire’s Third Prince, Sheng Lian.
His mother is the Emperor’s public lover and had no title, but her temper was even more arrogant than the Empress’.
This third prince also seemed to regard himself as the Empire’s heir, flaunting himself everywhere, but in fact, he was just an illegitimate son with no name and no background.

If Song Xiao Bai is Tang Wu Yuan’s nemesis, then this one can be considered Tang Wu Yuan’s enemy.

Tang Wu Yuan and Sheng Lian used to be classmates.
The Emperor had sent Sheng Lian to the military originally to make him stand out.
As a result, during the training period, he was crushed by Tang Wu Yuan everywhere and beaten so hard that there was no dregs left, so that there was no chance of showing off.
Therefore, he had a deep resentment against Tang Wu Yuan, and tried find trouble to bully Tang Wu Yuan in repeated attempts.
However, Tang Wu Yuan was not easy to be bullied, so he was punished instead, and he and Tang Wu Yuan is considered to have formed a grudge.

The Emperor did not know what to think, Sheng Lian was not only narrow-minded, but also sinister and cunning.
After his graduation, the Emperor was still determined to send him to the army, hoping that he would be able to collect military power, but how could Sheng Lian do what the Emperor himself failed to do, not to mention that he met Tang Wu Yuan and Song Xiao Bai.

Although Song and Tang had been fighting with each other, they were surprisingly united in this matter, and both did not buy Sheng Lian’s account.

Without their support, Sheng Lian would be without the support of the most elite troops in interstellar, and under their leadership, the other troops would naturally be unwilling to obey Sheng Lian.
Therefore, Sheng Lian hated them till his teeth itched, especially Tang Wu Yuan, this Commander that is always obstructing his eyes, is even more disgusting.
However, the power of the imperial army is in the hands of the Marshal and the Emperor cannot interfere.
So even thought Sheng Lian hated them, as long as they did not make mistakes, there was nothing he could do about them.

Tang Wu Yuan’s dislike for Sheng Lian was even greater than that.
He walked over to Sheng Lian and said to him with a forced smile4皮笑肉不笑 (pí xiào ròu bù xiào): the skin is smiling but the flesh isn’t: “How come the Third Prince has time to come to the army today?”

Sheng Lian worked in the military department, but he fished for three days and dried nets for two days, he did not engage in honest labour and not sure what he was doing every day, spending very little time in the military department, so Tang Wu Yuan was just mocking him when he said that.

When Sheng Lian heard that he was mocking himself, his face turned ugly for a moment and he sneered: “I wouldn’t know it if I didn’t came to the army, Commander your skills are getting better and better.”

Tang Wu Yuan was not modest, “It’s so-so, It’s just as good as when I fought with you that year ba.”

Sheng Lian obviously recalled a bad memory and unconsciously touched his face.
He was silent for a moment and then suddenly changed his tone, “Commander, even if you are very skilled, you can’t just hit your men like that right? Are you ignoring military discipline? Or are you knowingly challenging the Major General’s authority?”

Tang Wu Yuan laughed at this, Sheng Lian was trying to use military rules to deal with him, but obviously Sheng Lian was going to miss the mark, he looked up at Song Xiao Bai and said nonchalantly: “It was Zhu Qiang who started the fight, if you don’t believe me you can transfer the surveillance to see, I was defending myself.”

The injury on Zhu Qiang’s face could not be hidden, and Tang Wu Yuan did not want to hide it.
The Ministry of Military Affairs did not allow private fights but there was a surveillance camera here to record Zhu Qiang’s provocative behaviour.
Tang Wu Yuan is considered as to forced into self-defence.
According to the regulations of the military, the provoked person doesn’t take responsibility, so even if Zhu Qiang is Song Xiao Bai’s person, Song Xiao Bai can only deal with Zhu Qiang alone.

Knowing that what he had said would not be false, Song Xiao Bai looked down at the bruises on Zhu Qiang’s face and ordered with a cold face: “Send Zhu Qiang to the military doctor for an examination first, and if there is nothing wrong with his health, send him straight to confinement.”

Tang Wu Yuan pursed his mouth, when he hit, he only hit in places where there was a lot of meat.
Zhu Qiang would not have any internal injuries, at most he would have some superficial injuries.

Zhu Qiang was helped up from the ground by everyone, his face was red with anger and he said unconvincingly: “Major General, it was the Commander who went too far, he treated you……”

Zhu Qiang wanted to say something but stopped, his eyes skimmed over Song Xiao Bai’s trousers, he hadn’t seen them yesterday but had heard that there was a wet mess there yesterday!

Tang Wu Yuan looked at Zhu Qiang’s still defiant face and added breezily: “He also disrespected me.”

According to military rules, subordinates who disrespected their superiors were also punished.

Song Xiao Bai looked at Tang Wu Yuan with a sullen gaze, “Dock Zhu Qiang’s salary for a month.”

Everyone looked at Zhu Qiang, who was bruised and battered and had his salary docked and put in a small black room, with a look of sympathy.

Zhu Qiang was so angry couldn’t speak, but this time it happened that he took the initiative to provoke, and he dealt with as a matter of course.
In fact, he was prepared to be punished when he hit Tang Wu Yuan, but he didn’t expect to be beaten up by Tang Wu Yuan instead of hitting him.
He was so angry but he couldn’t let it out, he could only be sent to the medical room for examination with a black face.

Song Xiao Bai gave Tang Wu Yuan a look, his eyes as cold as the cold wind, “Tang Wu Yuan, can you not cause trouble one day?”

“He was the one who took the initiative to provoke me okay?”

Tang Wu Yuan looked up with an unhappy face and when their eyes met, it was immediately like a crackling spark was ignited.

Seeing that the two of them looked like they were about to fight, Sheng Lian was immediately happy to add fuel to the fire, clasping his hands over his chest and saying in a leisurely tone: “Major General Song, it’s not like you don’t know that Commander Tang has always had this personality, so just be tolerant if you can.”

He looked towards Tang Wu Yuan and sighed in a pretentious manner: “Commander Tang you should also change your temper, you are openly provoking Major General Song like this, isn’t it making it difficult for Major General Song? Ai…… also don’t know how Commander Tang you have developed this kind of lawlessness and disrespect for your officers.”

What he said was clearly trying to mediate, but in reality it was provocative.

Tang Wu Yuan turned his head to look at him and gave a cold laugh, he had always hated people who had to beat around the bush when they had something to say, and Sheng Lian had gathered all his points of dislike.

When Song Xiao Bai heard Sheng Lian’s words, his gaze changed slightly, his dark pupils glanced at Tang Wu Yuan and then at Sheng Lian, his mouth suddenly curled up into a smile, his thin lips lightly opened: “I’m indulged it.”

“……What?” Sheng Lian didn’t react for a moment, revealing a stunned look, thinking he had heard wrong.

Song Xiao Bai raised an eyebrow and said lightly: “Didn’t you ask how Commander Tang developed the kind of personality he has now? I said it was because I indulged it.”

Sheng Lian instantly froze in place, unable to speak, and within a moment it was as if he didn’t know Song Xiao Bai anymore.

Tang Wu Yuan glanced at Song Xiao Bai and immediately understood, it was obvious that Song Xiao Bai, like him, hated Sheng Lian more.
With just a glance, he and Song Xiao had reached some kind of tacit agreement for the time being, a temporary truce to fight the enemy together.

He gave a light laugh and lifted his chin, saying breezily: “Yes, he’s indulged to it.”

“……” Sheng Lian simply doubted his ears.
