Section 30: Deterrence of subordinates

The Heavenly Master Hall was ordered to pacify the soldiers in the northern border pass, and the team did not go very quickly. Zhang Ruming doesn't want speed, but likes the feeling of going out on patrol.

Duan Lang was riding on a war horse, and no one from the black-armored guards communicated with him, as if he was an outsider. Duan Lang didn't care, anyway, he didn't understand a lot of things, and it was not bad to be a hands-off shopkeeper. But no matter what, since he defeated Chang Lin with one move, there was a trace of awe in the eyes of these people. At the very least, no one dares to openly express that contempt anymore.

Duan Lang looked up at the sky, stepped forward and beckoned, "Mr. Liu, head west from the fork in front." ”

Liu Jiang's general name is Liu Xusheng, and the black guards are basically acting on his orders at present.

"Commander Duan, let's go to the northern border pass, but we're going farther and farther to the west." Liu said dissatisfiedly.

"Carry out military orders!" Duan Lang looked at Liu Xusheng unhappily.

"Military orders? Hehe, Commander Duan, do you know what a military order is? Liu Jiang always looked at Duan Lang with disdain.

Duan Lang was stunned, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu has been holding back for a few days, and you kid is not interested. It just so happens that I'm going to start with your kid today. When you are cleaned up, I will see who dares to stand up.

Duan Lang didn't say a word, and pulled out the Xuantie War Knife with a 'hmm', "Everyone listen, from now on, what I say is a military order, don't ask why." The Black Armor Guard Lao Tzu of the Heavenly Master Hall is the commander, who dares not to obey the order, the violator ~ beheaded! ”

Duan Lang's gaze swept over everyone, but he was greeted with disdain and ridicule. No one believed that he dared to do this, after all, these people were the elite of the forbidden army, and they were the black armor guards who guarded the palace. A small commander will kill when he says he will kill, which is simply a child's play on the face of the forbidden army.

"Chop? Hmph, do you think our black armor guards are scared~. ”

Before Liu Xusheng could say the word '?', Duan Lang jumped up and slashed down with the war knife in his hand. Liu Xusheng didn't think that Duan Lang would really cut this knife, and hurriedly raised his knife to meet him in a panic. Duan Lang's knife suddenly changed an arc, and the back of the knife slammed into Liu Xusheng's shoulder armor. With a bang, Liu Xusheng fell off the horse heavily.

The black-armored guards looked cold, and pulled out their weapons in unison. Duan Lang's face turned cold, and his eyes looked at everyone. At this moment, the curtain on the car was lifted, and Zhang Ruming stood on the wheel with Shang Fang's sword in his hand.

"Why, do you want to rebel! Whoever dared to disobey the order, the official clicked him with Shang Fang's sword. ”

Not to mention, Zhang Ruming's angry shout immediately suppressed this group of black-armored guards. They could disobey Duan Lang's command, but no one dared to rebel. The black-armored guards looked at each other and slowly put away their weapons.

Duan Lang glanced at Zhang Ruming with admiring eyes, and said in his heart that this kid was quite good at cooperating. Duan Lang walked up to Liu Xusheng and put the war knife in his hand on his neck.

"Lord Commander, according to the laws of the forbidden army, you still have no right to kill General Liu." A ten-man captain hurriedly shouted.

"No rights? Well, today I will let you see if Lao Tzu has this right. Master Celestial, lend me your Shang Fang sword. Duan Lang shouted at Zhang Ruming.

"You can borrow it, but after killing someone, wipe the blood on it for Lao Tzu." Zhang Ruming said, and threw Shang Fang's sword to Duan Lang very cooperatively.

When the black-armored guards saw this scene, they said in their hearts that which Qin Cha got Shang Fang's sword must not be carefully offered. The sword of Shang Fang is a symbol, and no one really uses it as a weapon. It's like this master, it's really a tool for cutting melons.

In the team, another general Cui Zhiliang hurriedly jumped off the horse and clenched his fists to plead. "The commander is slow, Liu Jiang is also unintentional, and I hope that the adult will be gracious."

"I just said that the execution of military orders, the fate of those who disobey the order, that is, death. Liu Xusheng openly contradicted, this is challenging the authority of this commander, if you don't kill it, how can this commander command your five hundred black armor guards? Duan Lang said, pulling out Shang Fang's sword.

This time, the black-armored guards were completely out of line. Not to mention whether Duan Lang has the right or not, but Shang Fang's sword can kill any courtier. If you really want to die under Shang Fang's sword, you won't even have a chance to overturn the case.

"My lord~ Please let Mr. Liu go."

"Adults, the little ones will listen to the order in the future~!"

The five hundred black-armored guards all jumped off their horses and knelt on one knee and clenched their fists to plead. Liu Xusheng also knew that he had hit the muzzle of the gun, and he lowered his head with a sad and angry face and didn't say a word.

Duan Lang looked at everyone and slowly put down the Shang Fang sword he raised, "Liu Xusheng, do you see it, the five hundred black armor guards are all interceding for you." This commander asks you again, what about the military order? ”

Liu Xusheng drooped his head and said helplessly, "Those who disobey military orders will be killed!" Subordinates know their mistakes. ”

Duan Lang snorted coldly, "Thinking that you are a first-time offender, I will spare you once." However, you don't have to be a general manager anymore. ”

Duan Lang said, pointing casually, "You, from now on, you will take over Liu Xusheng's general position." Cui Zhiliang, you will lead the team along the way. ”

After Duan Lang finished speaking, he looked at Liu Xusheng condescendingly, "Are you convinced." ”

Liu Xusheng sighed secretly, knelt on one knee, clenched his fists and said, "Subordinate respect!" ”

Duan Lang nodded slightly, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu is in power, and he can't cure you. It's a big deal to kill a few people and take your heads. Duan Lang knew that they were still unconvinced, but at the very least, no one dared to disobey his instructions on the surface. Duan Lang didn't want to continue to put pressure on him, if he wanted to convince everyone, he could only run in slowly.

The team began to move west, Zhang Ruming took Shang Fang's sword and quietly gave a thumbs up, which means that your kid is quite good at scaring people. Duan Lang blinked, you did a good job. The two of them had set a routine before they went out, Duan Lang couldn't keep letting these people set him up, he had to let this dead fat man cooperate.

The team had traveled less than thirty miles to the west, and Duan Lang saw a carriage parked on the side of the road from a distance. Under the carriage, Fang Yan was anxiously waiting. On the second day of Emperor Yuning's celebration, Fang Jiye resumed his original position, and Duan Lang and Fang Yan made an appointment to meet on the way.

"Stop moving."

Duan Lang gave an order, and the team stopped moving forward.

Zhang Ruming stretched out his head, "Duan Lang, don't forget to warn that girl, I have two life-saving graces for her, don't talk nonsense about everything." I really can't do it, I'll go say hello too? ”

"Okay, rest you, no one is rare with you." After Duan Lang finished speaking, he beat his horse and galloped forward.

Duan Lang was very happy to see Fang Yan, he didn't have any friends since he was a child, except for Da Xiong, only Fang Yan was a friend of life and death. Don't look at Duan Lang's super alertness in fighting, but he is very immature in the relationship between children and daughters. He likes Fang Yan, but he likes it very simply, and he doesn't even have a trace of blasphemy. Perhaps, Duan Lang has no experience in this area, just an ignorant and ignorant young man.

"Fang Yan, why are you alone, General Fang?" Duan Lang looked inside the car and found that there was only one groom driving the car, and the car was empty.

Fang Yan put her hands behind her back and looked at Duan Lang shyly, "I told my father that I want to go to the northern border with you to have a look, and when I come back, I will go back to the western camp." ”

"What, you're going to come with us?" Duan Lang looked at Fang Yan in surprise.

Fang Yan smiled and nodded, "If you don't want to, then I'll leave now." ”

"Haha, willing, I've been suffocated by the two-day journey, and I don't even have anyone to talk to. Let's go, let's go meet Zhang~, oh yes, after we meet, we have to call him Shangguan Tianshi, there are many people here, maybe which one is the eyes and ears of Emperor Yuning. Duan Lang admonished.

"Well, I understand." Fang Yan said obediently.

Zhang Ruming and the five hundred black-armored guards both stretched out their heads to look at Duan Lang, and when they saw the two of them walking towards this side, Zhang Ruming quickly shrank back, and the five hundred black-armored guards were also solemn, showing their military might.

When he came to the car, Duan Lang knocked on the wall of the car with a scabbard, "Come out, come here, a friend." ”

Zhang Ruming cursed secretly in his mouth, and said in his heart that this kid didn't even shout as an adult, it was simply too deceitful. Zhang Ruming coughed twice deliberately, lifted the curtain and stood up.

"Roar~~! Isn't this Miss Fang? On the same day, I said goodbye in Dali Temple, and the girl was fine. Zhang Ruming reminded Fang Yan, that means we have only seen it in Dali Temple, and we are not allowed to say anything else.

Seeing Zhang Ruming's round bald head, Fang Yan couldn't help but laugh twice, and then said, "Lord Shangguan, little woman Fang Yan thank you for your rescue that day." ”

As soon as he heard him call him Lord Shangguan, Zhang Ruming suddenly showed a smile on his face, "Hehe, you don't have to be polite." What, are you going back to the western camp? ”

Fang Yan was just about to speak, but Duan Lang hurriedly said, "No, this commander has already decided to take her to the northern border pass for a turn. When she returns, I will send her back to the western camp. ”

"Uh~you~ your decision?" Zhang Ruming said in his heart that Lao Tzu has not decided yet, how old are you. However, in front of everyone, Zhang Ruming could only stare angrily.

"What's the matter, Lord Shangguan doesn't want the little girl to go along?" Fang Yan looked at Zhang Ruming meaningfully.

"Uh~ willing, of course willing."

Zhang Ruming squinted at Duan Lang, then at Fang Yan, and said in his heart that only the two of you in this world know that Lao Tzu is fake, can Lao Tzu still say no.

With Fang Yan joining, Duan Lang unceremoniously abandoned the horse and rode into Fang Yan's car. Zhang Mingru could have chatted with Duan Lang for a few words, but now he is really alone. Zhang Ruming cursed dissatisfiedly and reluctantly got into his car.

The team began to move north, and at the same time, in Fengluan Mountain, Fengluan County, the mysterious Lord Huai also returned to Kyoto with a hint of loss. In Fengluan Mountain, he didn't investigate any valuable clues, and the surrounding people only knew that it was the bear child of the old hunter Zhang Zongcheng's family, because Zhang Zongcheng didn't have much contact with the people under the mountain, and as for Duan Lang's biological mother's maiden name, the villagers under the mountain had long forgotten it.

Lord Huai was not reconciled, and secretly monitored Zhang Zongcheng for several days, and even carefully checked his residence. Don't you know, the valuable things are hidden in the bear's den, and he can't find anything at all. As for the other clues, they have long been erased by Zhou Guangji, and the shadow is a master among the masters in this regard, and this detective Si Huai has not found anything valuable.

On the seventeenth day of the march of Duan Lang and others, a major event occurred in Chiyu Mountain Pass, a border city between Great Xia and the Northern Ming Kingdom, which was enough to cause war between the two countries.

On the same day, He Lianjia, the garrison of Yushan Pass, was invited to a banquet by the gentry, and He Lianjia was drunk by the gentry at the banquet. At this moment, one of the guards on the city wall was actually killed by an arrow from outside the city.

It is said that this matter should be immediately reported to the city defense Beihe Lian Jia, but Fan Lining, the chief soldier of the city defense battalion, was angry and personally led people out of the city to arrest the murderer. After chasing the murderer for thirty miles, he happened to meet a small group of soldiers and horses patrolling the Northern Ming Kingdom. When the soldiers and horses of the two countries meet, they will be courteous to each other under normal conditions and without hostility, so as to prevent the two countries from engaging in an exchange of troops. However, this Fan general soldier didn't say a word, and actually ordered an ambush to kill all of them.

This time completely angered Mengdu, the border general of the Northern Ming Kingdom. Early the next morning, the Mengdu camp of the Northern Ming Kingdom was full of horns, and rows of troops under the leadership of General Mengdu slaughtered Yushan Pass.

A military academy hurriedly came to the Yushan Guanfu Ya, and the city defense Beihe Lianjia, who had not yet sobered up, heard this, and sat up in shock. He Lianjia didn't bother to wash his face and sober up, and hurriedly came to the top of Yushan Pass. He Lianjia looked out from the city and was immediately stunned.

Two arrows outside the city wall, the black pressure filled the army of the Northern Ming Kingdom. According to the calculations of the array and flags, there were 50,000 troops. A cold sweat broke out on Helianjia's forehead, his city defense battalion only had eight thousand troops, when did the Northern Ming Kingdom dispatch so many troops.
