When I walked into the inner hall, I saw several large cauldrons outside the hall cooking delicious food and drink, and thousands of brothers were sitting together one by one, some wiping knives, some picking teeth, and some sleeping, squeezing the whole inner hall to the point of being overflowing, like a refugee camp. They were all still wearing clothes, and their faces were flushed and shiny, otherwise Zhang Chengzhun would have entered the refugee camp by himself. And the iron pillar in the hall, Zhang Boss 100 people are sitting on the table eating and drinking. It was a scene of wind and clouds, gobbling it up.

Qi Tian Yao Han and hundreds of other people, who had already finished eating, saw Zhang Cheng come in, and Qi Tian and Yao Han led by them immediately stood up, and all the soldiers stood up with them. Surround Zhang Cheng in it.

Qi Tian and Yao Han were the first to shout, "My lord, you can come back!" ”

The thousands of brothers behind him shouted in unison: "I have seen my lord! ”

Long Qiuling and the others stood aside, watching more than a thousand people bow their hands to Zhang Cheng, it was not because of the fear of the subordinates and the class courtesy, he could see that everyone's faces were full of admiration and gratitude, this shout was from the heart, sincere, and the shock in his heart was incomprehensible.

"It's all my own brothers, everyone is here for the time being, and have a good rest. It's been a great journey! Zhang Cheng looked around and said to everyone.

Everyone did as he was told, and each found a place to sit down and rest.

When everyone dispersed, Tie Zhu and Boss Zhang squeezed over, and they were about to salute, Zhang Cheng pulled them and sat down at a table, eating and drinking with the brothers of the Beidi Division on the table.

While eating, Zhang Cheng asked, "How about it, all the things that should be brought, right?" ”

Boss Zhang muttered and said: "My Boss Zhang is a rough person, and Qi Tian and Yao Han are responsible for all these things." Ask them! As he spoke, he picked up a chicken leg from the table and nibbled on it.

Qi Tian sat on the side and replied, "The horizontal knives of the brothers are all newly made by the craftsman camp, and they also brought a thousand horizontal knives for the Qinwei battalion. However, it is a pity that 2,000 war horses, three days and three nights of rapid march, and the best war horses are basically wasted. ”

"It's okay! As long as people come, the rest, let's talk about it later. At present, the situation in the capital is turbulent, I am afraid that in the past two days, there will be a big bloody battle, this time we have to face, is the Xiaoguo army, they are all selected from the army warriors, all of them are warriors with great achievements, you must be ready, when the time comes, there will definitely be a tough battle for you to fight! Zhang Cheng said, his expression became a little solemn.

Boss Zhang threw the chicken leg bones on the table, slammed the table, and shouted, "I'm afraid of a ball!" We fought in the past, and that time was not dangerous, who were we afraid of? What about the Xiaoguo Army? The butcher's knife in my boss's hand slaughters pigs and dogs! ”

The iron pillar on one side still looked simple, his mouth was full of food, he scratched his head honestly, and said: "I listen to my brother, and I will beat whoever my brother asks me to beat." I brought all my weapons with me, and you don't know that three horses were exhausted for my weapons! And it's the best war horse! ”

"Okay, with you, I, Zhang Cheng, am like a tiger. Hurry up and have a good rest day. Do not go anywhere, lest your deeds be exposed. Our Northland Division is to give people a sense of surprise that the surprise of the surprise is prominent! Zhang Cheng also said excitedly.

At this moment, Tao Jinshan and two men in black hurried into Zhang Cheng's mansion, one of them was carrying a man who looked bloody, quite embarrassed and haggard, while the other was carrying a man in black, but his black clothes were different. Zhang Cheng learned the news and hurriedly went to check.

When he saw the man brought by Tao Jinshan, the man had already fainted, lying on the bed, motionless.

"Who is this man?" Zhang Cheng knew that Tao Jinshan would not bring such an old man with a sixtieth birthday for no reason, and seeing whether he was wearing a prison suit, looking at his body and face, it seemed that he was injured, obviously he had been injured before, so he asked Tao Jinshan.

When Tao Jinshan heard this, he whispered a few words in Zhang Cheng's ear, Zhang Cheng was shocked and said in surprise: "It's him!" Go and get his son here at once!" ”

"Yes! The little ones are going! Tao Jinshan heard this, and took the order away.

After Tao Jinshan left, Zhang Cheng said to Feng Jingyu beside him: "Jingyu, let the guard battalion choose a clever person and send a gift to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion." Then he whispered something in his ear.

Feng Jingyu heard the words and left.

On the streets of Los Angeles, especially on Suzaku Street in the Imperial City, the officers and soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army and the Yulin Army patrolled back and forth, and they did not like each other, and there have been many quarrels, but because of the suppression and restraint of the generals on both sides, there has been no bloodshed.

However, in the evening of this day, the Yulin Army was on duty at the Vermilion Bird Gate in the Imperial City, and the patrol officers of the Xiaoguo Army of the First Brigade passed by, and the other brigade commander made several sarcastic remarks, and the Yulin Army Duty Brigade was handsome, but also fought back, and the language was naturally ugly, and the other party had already been instructed by the boss, and the two armies fought hard. And the Yulin Army was strictly ordered by Shi Kaishan not to fight with the Xiaoguo Army, so the Yulin Army kept its hands everywhere, but the Xiaoguo Army was scared to death everywhere.

If it weren't for the arrival of the generals of the Yulin Army in time, the guards of the Yulin Army would have suffered a big loss!

And knowing that the Yulin Army was beaten like a pig's head by the Xiaoguo Army, and two soldiers were beaten to the point that their left hand was broken, Cheng Shide laughed heartily, and he said contemptuously: "It seems that the Yulin Army is already vulnerable." In this way, the Yulin Army has nothing to worry about! Your Highness has great things to look forward to! ”

On the contrary, Shi Kaishan was furious in the battalion, and when the two armies had quarrels in the first few times, Zhang Cheng explicitly ordered that no conflict should be had with them, and violators would be severely punished. Shi Kaishan couldn't bear it, and found Zhang Cheng several times to lead the troops to recruit Cheng Shide to settle accounts, but Zhang Cheng was persuaded to go back bitterly, this time he was really angry, and ordered Guo Hongtao to lead a battalion of soldiers and horses, and he was going to the Xiaoguo army to seek justice.

And Guo Hongtao hurriedly grabbed him, led him to the side, and persuaded: "General, no." The general strictly ordered that anyone who violates this military order should be dealt with according to military law and beheaded for public display; Tomorrow is the time for Emperor Daqian to abdicate, and at this critical moment, we should put state affairs first and endure for a little longer. With this incident, the Xiaoguo Army will inevitably think that our Yulin Army is not strong enough. When the time comes, if the two armies really fight, they will inevitably look down on us and others, so we will avenge this revenge sooner or later. ”

When Shi Kaishan said this, he could understand why Zhang Cheng said that even if Yulin Jun was killed by the other party, he could only hold back. At that time, Shi Kaishan still didn't understand it, but at this time, he suddenly realized.

"Even so, we can't stop there. You bring me a letter to Cheng Shide to denounce this matter! In addition, I will go to Mr. Zhang's house again and ask him how to deal with this matter? Shi Kaishan instructed Guo Hongtao.

"Okay, the last general will go!" Guo Hongtao immediately went to do it

The words were divided into two ends, and Zhou Bingyan, who had received Zhao Mu's will, was leading 20,000 cavalry at the moment, rushing to Los Angeles day and night. After seven or eight consecutive days of rapid marching, the whole army was already exhausted, and today it was possible to rush to Los Angeles ten miles away, and suddenly received a holy decree to let the whole army of the Fuzhou army be stationed on the spot, and it must not be violated. But what made Zhou Bingyan even more unaware was that he actually asked him to strictly guard this place, and if there was an unknown person, he would be killed on the spot.

In desperation, he had to order all the soldiers to be stationed on the spot, and then bury the pot to cook so that he could rest. At the same time, send people into the city to investigate. But the spies reported that the prime minister had an order, and officials from other provinces were not allowed to enter Beijing, and the capital was already under martial law, and outsiders could not enter the city at all.

Zhou Bingyan was taken aback when he heard this, the capital was under martial law, and he was not allowed to enter. This kind of thing has never happened since the dynasty.

The cavalry deputy general under Zhou Bingyan whispered beside him: "General, is there something big going on in the capital?" In the past, when we were stationed in Fuzhou, we heard a lot of messages, saying that the prime minister was sick from hard work and his health was not as good as before. ”

"Nonsense! The prime minister's health is good! ”

In fact, Zhou Bingyan hadn't heard of this matter, and as a general, he should have received more and more accurate information than his deputy general. It's just that at this time, he really doesn't want to or dare to think like this. At this critical moment, if the prime minister is in poor health, it will inevitably be related to the important matter of the prince, and as the only one who can inherit the position of prime minister, there are only two people, and these two people will inevitably have a fierce confrontation for it, which may not be a good thing for the Daqian court. In the end, what is lost is the strength of the imperial court.

Think about it from a deeper level, who will be able to win the throne? As a powerful figure in the Shang Shuling faction, a general in charge of 100,000 soldiers and horses in a state, if Shang Shu Ling Zhao Jingyu became the emperor, then he would naturally rise; But if Zhao Hui, the governor of the capital, becomes the emperor, the so-called son of heaven and a courtier, then he, the general, will be the first to be excluded. With Zhao Hui's ferociousness and meanness, when the time comes, I don't know if he can save his life.

The adjutant general said: "The rumors must not be groundless, and the capital is under martial law at this time, and every time the generals of the other armies return to the court, you are the only one who is recalled by the imperial court. ”

After listening to the deputy general's words, Zhou Bingyan's heart was also abrupt, he looked at the deputy general, and then wandered left and right with his hands in his hands, at a loss. After thinking about it for a long time, he said to the adjutant general: "We are all soldiers of the imperial court, and soldiers take obedience as their duty, so we just need to be quietly stationed here and obey the will of the imperial court." You don't want to go around and do your duty, you know? Otherwise, Ben will not be spared! ”

Zhou Bingyan said this, obviously he was also thoughtful. First of all, it is impossible for him to lead his troops into the capital now, if that is the case, he will be dragged down and beheaded before he can help anyone. Secondly, the prime minister is rigorous, cautious, and far-reaching, since the prime minister let him wait outside the city, there must be a reason, he just needs to wait patiently. Moreover, if you lead your troops into the city, a big battle will cause rivers of blood, which will be detrimental to the country. All these made this general, who had always been cautious in the use of troops, dare not act rashly.

"Yes! The last will obey! The lieutenant general bowed down and took the order.

It's night, night falls, and tonight's night seems extraordinary. The gloomy, hazy moonlight filtered through the layers of clouds, but it could not illuminate the earth shrouded in darkness.

This night, Zhang Cheng was sending off the angry Shi Kaishan in the mansion, and Zhang Cheng only asked him one sentence, did he want to live up to the expectations of the new emperor, or did he want to complete the task arranged by the new emperor? Furthermore, Zhang Cheng persuaded him not to care about temporary gains and losses, but to plan for the world of Great Chu and the eternal foundation of the Great Chu Dynasty. Shi Kaishan was relieved by Zhang Cheng, and the resentment in his heart dissipated a lot, and the two chatted a few other things, and Shi Kaishan returned to the Yulin Army barracks.

Immediately after, Tao Jinshan took advantage of the night to bring a man in black to the mansion. Both entered through the back door and were seen in person.

The man in black led Tao Jinshan to the inner hall bedroom, the man in black, as soon as he entered the room, he saw the old man lying on the bed, only to see him take three steps and make two steps, walked to the bed, after some checking, he turned around, just at this time Zhang Cheng walked in from outside the door, the two just met, and the person asked: "General, my father is already a prisoner of the imperial court, why do you want to treat him like this!" I, Li Jinyan, have always been cautious in my words and deeds, less grudges with others, and have nothing to do with you. You give me a reason that I can believe in today, and give it to yourself; If not, I, Li Jinyan, would rather be broken than broken! ”

"What a dutiful man. But before you get angry and fight me to the death. Let me tell you about it first. Tao Jin Shan. Zhang Cheng praised Li Jinyan, and then said to Tao Jinshan.

Hearing this, Tao Jinshan took a step forward, clapped his hands, and two people walked in outside the door, these two dragged a man in black who was unconscious like a dead dog and had his hands tied, and threw him on the ground, and one of them found a glass of water and splashed it awake.

At this time, Tao Jinshan said to Li Jinyan: "General Li, as early as the third day when my general came to the capital, he had already ordered me to wait day and night to monitor the Xiaoguo army. And I've been keeping an eye on you for days. Just when I thought that there would be no change in the Xiaoguo Army, last night, two black-clothed men came out of Cheng Shide's camp, holding the Dadu Governor token, and brought your father out of the enemy prison. Then they took him to a small courtyard. Your father learned from the two black-clothed men that they were Cheng Shide's lieutenants, and that they were being arrested in order to threaten you to obey Cheng Shide's orders. Your father didn't want his son to be at the mercy of others, and he tried to hit the wall and die several times, but the man in black was very tightly guarded, but he failed to succeed, and was beaten by the captain instead. If you don't believe me, listen to what he has to say. ”

After listening to Tao Jinshan's words, in fact, Li Jinyan already believed most of it, this captain Li Jinyan knew, he was Cheng Shide's captain of the personal guard battalion, and he had helped Cheng Shide do a lot of dirty things in Los Angeles for so many years. Thinking that Cheng Shide used to be in the army, he was also a hero who galloped on the battlefield and was willing to return the horse leather shroud, but after staying in the capital for a few years, he had fallen to this, and thinking of coming to this place of power in the capital really corroded his soul.

The captain was also shocked when he saw this scene, it turned out that the person who came to rob Li Jinyan's father turned out to be the general of the Yulin Army, and he was shocked. At that time, more than a dozen men in black who were agile and ruthless came in from outside the house, and when they were caught off guard, they killed three or five Xiaoguo soldiers in the house, and at the same time knocked themselves unconscious. The first thing he did when he woke up was to scold the thief who had kidnapped him, but when he saw the handsome young man with a relaxed and natural expression and a smile on the corner of his mouth, he lost the guts.

But he is the captain of Cheng Shide's personal guard battalion, and he is one of the most loyal to Cheng Shide's eagle talons. Let him betray the general, he will never do it. But he didn't have the courage to die just yet. Keep your mouth shut, and refuse to say whether you live or die.
