The officials who approved the military merits mainly operated in Fengming Mountain, which was the battlefield and the only battlefield.

However, according to common sense, these officials did not have to go to the place where the war took place, and they had military records, account books, and physical goods for the war damage, and they had the enemy's first-class certificates.

They came back to Fengming Mountain this time, obviously with ulterior motives.

Zhao Ning set off late from the Dadan Tribe—mainly because he had been being entertained—when he came to Fengming Mountain, a group of high-spirited civil officials were near the main formation of Baifengkou Mountain Bao, looking at the nearby terrain.

The young officials at the head were dressed in scarlet robes and pointed at the main formation from time to time.

The general of the Yanmen Army stationed here, with the secretary of the army, followed the official who looked arrogant and did not look at them at all at all, and explained the battle situation to the other party with a black face.

Zhao Ning had already learned that the emperor had called Xu Minglang to preside over the evaluation of military merits in this battle.

What this means, is self-explanatory.

Seeing Xu Zaixun, the second son of Xu Minglang, who was the leader, pointing fingers in front of the generals of the Yanmen Army, he understood that the other party must be looking for various reasons to erase the achievements of the Yanmen Army.

Zhao Ning called Zhao Xin and gave two orders, Zhao Xin didn't know why at first, but quickly reacted and hurriedly went to arrange.

As Zhao Ning expected, at this time, Xu Zaixun was in a weird mood:

"General Pang has always said that the terrain here is dangerous, and the Yanmen army, which is in an offensive position, has fought extremely hard, so it has suffered heavy casualties. ”

However, in the eyes of this officer, this is completely a quibble! The officers and men of the three armies were originally going to train in mountain warfare, but since ancient times, there have been fewer mountain warfare? Or is it that the Yanmen army has long ceased to practice tactics?

"It's not a place where a husband and a wife can't open it. When Taizu entered Shu and conquered Jianmen Pass, he only lost nearly 10,000 soldiers!

"Besides, the two armies are fighting, there are advances and retreats, and the terrain has an impact on both armies, it is difficult for the Yanmen army to attack Shanbao, and it is not difficult for the Hu people to counterattack?"

Speaking of this, Xu Zaixun snorted coldly, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and said righteously:

"My armaments are far from being comparable to those of the Hu people, and the imperial court gives so much military expenditure to the Yanmen Army every year, has it not become the combat strength of the soldiers? Where did all the money go?

"In the first battle of Baifengkou, more than 10,000 soldiers were lost, and they still dare to say that they won a big victory? Do they dare to talk about military exploits? In the eyes of this official, this is clearly a defeat despite victory! The generals of the Yanmen Army should apologize, and the leading generals should be punished!"

Xu Zaixun's nonsense was taken for granted, which made Pang Qi so angry that one Buddha went out of his body and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and he couldn't wait to eat each other raw, "Lord Xu also understands military affairs, and you have never been on the battlefield, what qualifications do you have to talk nonsense?"

"Presumptuous!"

Xu Zaixun shouted, "This official has never been on the battlefield, and he has not read a military book? General Pang is so unsightly, is it possible that the Yanmen Army is such an arrogant soldier like you?"

"You still dare to blow your nose and stare at the official, you are so capable, why don't you see you acting majestic in front of Hu Ren?

"In the first battle of Fengming Mountain, the Yanmen army lost 40,000 soldiers, and Beihu retreated, is it because you cut off too many of your heads and were soft-handed before you surrendered?

"The victory in this battle depends on the prestige of my Great Qi Country, do you really think that your Yanmen Army is amazing? What qualifications do you have to be proud and conceited, and shout at this official!"

Pang Qi kills the enemy on the battlefield, and he will be a good hand at breaking the formation, in terms of clever words and tongues, where is Xu Zaixun's opponent?

was scolded by the other party, he was so angry that he trembled, knowing that what the other party said was wrong, but he didn't know where to refute the other party, and the whole person was so anxious that he seemed to explode.

At this moment, an indifferent voice sounded slowly: "What's the noise?"

Everyone followed the sound to look, only to see Zhao Ning walking over expressionlessly, and the soldiers of the Yanmen Army on the periphery hurriedly got out of the way, Pang Qi was overjoyed, like seeing a savior, and hurriedly stepped forward:

"Young marshal, this guy is slandering us, saying that we conquered Baifengkou not but defeated, it is really hateful!

When Xu Zaixun saw Zhao Ning, hatred flashed in his eyes, as if he had seen an enemy who killed his father and took his wife.

The battle between the civil and military forces of the Great Qi has created an extremely bad relationship between the Zhao family and the Xu family, and the two sides have long been on the same page.

Now that Zhao Ning is here, he is proud of his identity, he is too lazy to refute Pang Qi's words, and gives a look to the cronies and officials in cyan official robes beside him.

The green-robed official immediately understood, sneered at Pang Qi, and sneered at each other:

"What's wrong with what Lord Xu said? General Pang is the wicked person who sued first, saying that we slandered you, since it is ours, why can't you refute it? You can't speak, just because you have no reason!"

When Pang Qi heard this, his eyes were split, and he wanted to say something, but he found that he really couldn't say that what the other party said was unreasonable, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

On the other hand, the blue-robed official looked proud, and his eyes were full of contempt and contempt, like teasing a stupid dog.

The green-robed official was about to make persistent efforts, and he was angry a few times, completely suppressing the other party's momentum, when a phantom suddenly flashed in front of him, which quickly enlarged in his field of vision.

Before he could react, it was dark in front of him, he lost consciousness, and the last thing he heard was a snapping sound, which was extremely loud.

In front of everyone's eyes, Zhao Ning, who had a cold face, slapped the green-robed official and threw the other party's teeth away, so that the other party couldn't even scream, so he fell to the ground and fainted.

This slap without warning made everyone present involuntarily stunned for a moment, and then everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Ning.

Xu Zaixun and other civilian officials were full of anger, and Pang Qi and other Yanmen military generals were excited and admired.

Zhao Ning shook off the non-existent dust on his hands, looked disgusted, and said lightly: "What is it, there is also a share of you speaking as a seventh-grade official here?"

When he entered the Yanmen Army, the official rank was the sixth grade, and Fengming Mountain fought two battles, both of which were the first merits, as long as the court did not lose his heart, he was definitely already a member of the fourth grade.

It is unknown whether the imperial court is crazy or not, but Xu Zaixun will never recognize Zhao Ning's military exploits and let him be successfully promoted to the fourth rank, "Zhao Ning, you are so bold, you dare to slap the imperial court official for no reason, you ......"

His accusations came to an abrupt end.

for he heard the sound of a knife coming out of its sheath.

His hairs stood on end immediately!

What is Zhao Ning going to do?!

He saw it, a cold white blade, and suddenly it came to his brow!

He was horrified.

When has he ever been slashed with a knife?

Moreover, Zhao Ning's speed of sword attack was extremely fast, and with his cultivation in the early stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, it seemed that he couldn't dodge! This guy, could it be that he was already in the middle of the Yuan Shen Realm?

If you want to kill him in the middle of the Yuan Shen Realm, he will definitely not be able to escape!

Between life and death, Xu Zaixun was extremely panicked, hurriedly retreated, his actions were hasty, and he was careless, he tripped over a stone under his feet, and sat on the ground.

Needle drops can be heard in the field.

Xu Zaixun's face flushed, and he couldn't wait to dig a hole in the ground and get in.

Zhao Ning did take out the knife, but the horizontal knife only stopped in mid-air, and even if he didn't retreat, the blade would not touch his forehead.

But he was so frightened that he lost his soul and fell to the ground, losing face. Such an unbearable performance made him look like a mouse in front of Zhao Ning.

This scene made the faces of the civil officials extremely ugly, and some officials from other families and from poor families looked at Xu Zaixun's eyes full of contempt.

Pang Qi and other Yanmen military generals felt that their hatred was extremely relieved, and they immediately burst into mocking laughter, and their voices were very loud.

Zhao Ning put away the horizontal knife, glanced at Xu Zaixun condescendingly, and said disdainfully: "What kind of thing are you, and you dare to point fingers at the achievements of the Yanmen Army?"

"On the battle array, which bloody soldier does not have to face swords and axes all the time, and this general has not seen any Yanmen army, and he behaves as unbearable as you.

"After reading a few military books, you feel that you understand what war is? In the eyes of this general, you are just a young dog, and you will not do anything but be embarrassed. ”

Pang Qi only felt that Zhao Ning's words were extremely reasonable, and he expressed all the words in his heart that he wanted to say but couldn't say clearly, and he suddenly felt embarrassed, took the lead in applauding and cheering, and shouted:

"The young marshal said it well!"

How could the Yanmen military generals not have a reason not to be on the scene, they all slapped their breastplates, made a loud bang, and roared: "The young marshal is mighty!"

The civil officials originally wanted to attack Zhao Ning, but when they saw the generals and colonels of the Yanmen Army, they all looked excited, with iron-blooded faces, although they were just patting their breastplates, but they also had the momentum of a tiger descending the mountain, and they couldn't help but hesitate a little.

They also had to think in their hearts, if this group of emotional Yanmen generals and colonels were as unscrupulous as Zhao Ning, could they avoid suffering themselves.

Xu Zaixun got up from the ground quickly, and now it was his turn to eat Zhao Ning:

"Zhao Ning, you are too arrogant! You dare to use a knife against this official, you are lawless, this official needs a supervisor to see the military discipline of the Yanmen Army, to rectify it well......"

Zhao Ning sneered and interrupted the other party's words, "Do you dare to let you be the supervisor of the Yanmen Army?"

Xu Zaixun's face suddenly froze.

If he came to be a prison soldier, it was estimated that he would be abused by Zhao Ning to the point that life would be worse than death. Yanping City is prosperous, he doesn't enjoy it, he goes to the bitter cold land of the border pass to suffer, why did he come?

Zhao Ning put the knife into the sheath, "You waste, what qualifications do you have to evaluate the merits of the soldiers in the bloody battle? If the prime minister wants to deduct the military merits of the Yanmen Army, he should at least send someone to come, how can he send a waste dog who is as timid as a mouse?"

"Do you expect the mighty men who crawled out of the pile of dead men to grovel and bow down before a group of you civil officials? I am a bloody warrior of Daqi, and none of them are soft bones like you!"

"Zhao Ning, you ......"

Xu Zaixun wanted to say something, but Zhao Ning had already looked at the other civil officials, his eyes were like arrows: "The Baifengkou battlefield is the place where the soldiers of my Yanmen Army sacrifice their lives to kill the enemy and serve the country."

"Every good man who is buried here is a hero of the Great Qi who is loyal to the king and serves the country!

"How can this general tolerate you ruffians who don't understand war and have ill intentions, here they are splashed with blood in five steps and in exchange for their military exploits?

"Get out of here!"

Facing Zhao Ning's face, touching Zhao Ning's eyes that wanted to choose someone to devour, and feeling the iron-blooded aura on Zhao Ning's body that could not be seen directly, the civil officials were all dumbfounded, and their hearts beat like drums.

What is the iron-blooded general, this is the great Qi civil official a hundred years later, and once again really faced.

When they thought that they could shout at these people, casually evaluate the opponent's battle results, and deduct the opponent's military exploits, they now found that they didn't even have the courage to face Zhao Ning's gaze.

Xu Zaixun was annoyed and ashamed, endured the throbbing in his heart, and roared inwardly: "We approved the Yanmen Army's military exploits in accordance with His Majesty's will, Zhao Ning, how dare you disobey the holy order?
