Autumn days hang high in the sky, soft sunlight shines on the rooftops and streets of this thousand-year-old city, and an autumn breeze blows gently with a few dead leaves, this quiet ancient city is a little depressed.

In an open space outside the south gate of Nanjing's inner city, a military camp has been temporarily stationed here, and the sound of drills can be heard from inside the barracks, which is the new station of the Zhenwu camp.

There is a high platform on the west side of the camp, and a log pillar is erected in the center, and a eunuch in brocade clothes is tied to a shelf, which is the noble Nanjing town guard eunuch Qian Chong.

Fortunately, it is autumn, and the autumn sun is not too torturous, but due to the long-term lack of water, Qian Chong looks like he is dying.

He licked his cracked lips, and he couldn't figure it out. There are so many important big people in Nanjing City, especially when Xu Zhi, the younger brother of the first assistant of the dynasty, often goes to the Qinhuai River to look for flowers and ask Liu, why can't he get along with him, a eunuch?

As if to find his psychological balance, a general in light armor had already captured several women and returned to the camp, who were also struggling and shouting for help.

"Hey, what a sin!"

Qian Chong thought about the various compromises made by the former Nanjing town guard eunuch He Shu to the Zhenwu Camp in the past, and then looked at the evil deeds of the Zhenwu Camp today, and he was also saddened.

If the gang had long eggs and long hair under the crotch of their pants, and the waist pole could be stiffer, why did the Zhenwu camp become so rampant today?

Chirping......

The south gate opened slowly, and the autumn sun shone into the open gate, and standing in front of the gate was a resolute official wearing a five-grade official uniform, his face looked firm and resolute.

"Lord Ning, please take care!"

The general guarding the city gate saw that Ning Jiang dared to go to the Zhenwu camp alone, and admired this official very much in his heart, and he also stood behind him and respectfully gave a salute.

The soldiers of the barracks had been paying attention to the movement of the city gate, and when the city gate was opened, they had already noticed the Ning Jiang who came out. Immediately, someone ran to the military account inside, and someone took the initiative to step forward.

"Get out of the way, this official is entrusted by the lords in the city to come to negotiate with you!" Ning Jiang looked at the soldiers who stepped forward to stop him, but said in a calm voice.

Since Ning Jiang was a member of the Nanjing Military Department, the soldiers of the Zhenwu Battalion all knew this official, and when they heard that he was actually the envoy of this negotiation, they respectfully led Ning Jiang in front.

Drink! Drink! Drink!

On the autumn day overhead, there were hundreds of soldiers in the martial arts field of the barracks who were sweating and practicing, always bringing up the white sand on the ground. It's just that when he saw Ning Jiang wearing a five-grade official uniform appear, he couldn't help but stop.

"Catch her! Get her! ”

In one of the military tents, a woman with her clothes torn ran out of the military tent with pear blossoms in the rain, and the naked and upper body man who came out behind her, shouted orders to the soldiers at the camp gate.

The shirtless man was already a general with status, and the soldiers at the camp gate reacted, looking like they were waiting for battle, and looked at the woman who was trying to escape.

The woman looked like she was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a good-looking melon seed face, and she also realized that the camp gate had been blocked, but when she saw Ning Jiang walking in, she ran towards Ning Jiang and pleaded: "My lord, please save the people's daughter!" ”

It's just that she didn't come to Ning Jiang's side, but she was caught by the soldiers who followed Ning Jiang.

Although Ning Jiang knew that the Zhenwu Battalion had always been arrogant, he didn't expect it to be so arrogant, so he couldn't help but stop, and said in a deep voice to the general who came over: "Zhu Gui, if you do such evil deeds in broad daylight, do you still have a royal law in your eyes?" ”

This upper-naked man was none other than the Qianhu of the Zhenwu Battalion, and he was also one of the leaders of the mutiny.

"Since Lord Ning wants to be a hero to save the United States, then General Ben will sell Lord Ning a face!" Zhu Gui knew that this move was not very appropriate, and he would catch it back in a few days, so he immediately waved his hand and let his soldiers release him.

The woman's face was beautiful, and she could be described as having a good appearance, but she pleaded with Ning Jiang again: "My lord, I still have a few sisters who have been caught in the account by him, and please save them too!" ”

They were originally washing clothes on the edge of the Qinhuai River, but they met Zhu Gui, a gang of wicked people, and forced the people's daughters, although a few companions escaped, but she was caught here with a few other sisters in order to save people.

Zhu Gui met Ning Jiang's gaze and said with a smile: "Lord Ning, we just made it very clear to Zhang Shilang that as long as Lord Ning agrees to our three conditions, then the last general will be released immediately!" ”

Ning Jiang naturally couldn't agree to the conditions they offered, and he knew that these people still had the hidden condition that the Zhenwu Battalion could not be disbanded, but he walked silently to the high platform.

Several thousands of households also came around, looking at Ning Jiang like this, although they didn't know what medicine he sold in his gourd, but Ning Jiang was already an ant in their hands, and they were not in a hurry to do it.

Although the woman knew that she could leave here at this moment, she was just thinking about the safety of those sisters, and at the same time feeling the sense of security that this official gave her, she gritted her teeth and actually followed Ning Jiang.

Ning Jiang came to the high platform and calmly looked at Qian Chong, the town guard eunuch who was tied to the shelf.

When Qian Chong saw Ning Jiang appearing, his eyes seemed to see the hope of survival, and he opened his cracked lips and said weakly: "Save me!" ”

"Father-in-law Qian, please bear with me a little longer!" Ning Jiang was sure that the eunuch was not dead, so he comforted him lightly.

"Everyone come over and take a look at what good news Lord Ning has brought us!" Zhu Gui shouted loudly at the hundreds of soldiers who were training over there.

The soldiers also had no bottom in their hearts, and they had been waiting for the reply of the inner city.

Seeing Zhu Gui beckoning them over, even when they gathered in front of the high platform, they wanted to know what reply Ning Jiang had brought to them, and whether they had agreed to their three requests.

In fact, they also knew in their hearts that the big men in the inner city of Nanjing should not agree to the request of 300,000 taels of military silver, and this amount was probably a big discount.

"Aren't you leaving?" Ning Jiang found that the beautiful woman had followed, and asked calmly.

This woman has the grace of a Jiangnan woman, but her eyes are faintly stubborn, perhaps it is the reason why she was able to escape from the military account, but she met Ning Jiang's gaze and said firmly: "I want to save my sister!" ”

"You'd better leave!" Ning Jiang found that this woman's temperament seemed to be somewhat similar to his, but he admonished.

"If you don't help me save my sister, I won't leave!" The woman was already planning to entangle Ning Jiang, but she added: "My lord, my name is Chen Liangyu!" ”

Ning Jiang wrote down the name, but he turned to face the soldiers in the audience, bathing in the autumn sunshine, and the oncoming autumn wind grabbed the sea in front of his forehead.

His eyes slowly swept over the soldiers who were waiting for an answer, but he said in a surprising voice: "This official is here today on the orders of all the lords in the city, and today I just want to ask you: Do you know what the crime of rebellion and rebellion is?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers in the audience were stunned and landed on Ningjiang on the stage.
