The warrant stamped with the head of the family, Huang Longling, has been secretly sent to various places, and it is believed that as long as there is no major turmoil in Kefield in the future, then these feudal officials stationed in various places will definitely be able to arrive in Kefield City on time.

After finishing this matter, Xu Ruoyu felt much more relaxed, although the things he had to deal with below would be more complicated and difficult, but after all, part of it had been solved.

took a piece of parchment on the desk, and Xu Ruoyu wrote a few names on it:

Li Fang: "Homeland" lieutenant general rank, Kefield area government, commander of the First Army Corps, his 3,000 infantry stationed on the front line of Deciduous City.

Li Qiu: "Homeland" major general rank, in charge of the "homeland" intelligence system, no army.

Li Yuyang: "Homeland" major general rank, Kefield City Guard, Commander of the Praetorian Guard Corps, under his jurisdiction of 1,500 infantry and 700 cavalry responsible for the defense of Kefield City.

Lang Zhong: The commander of the "homeland" commanded the army, the head of the Kefield palace guard, and the commander of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, under his jurisdiction 1,200 cavalry stationed fifty miles outside the city, and the entire palace guard had 300 guards.

Wan Qi Ruiyun: "Homeland" commands the rank of leader, and there is no army.

The names on the parchment can be said to be familiar and cannot be more familiar, but now Xu Ruoyu has no way to associate these familiar names with these people. In the face of the temptation of supreme power, I wonder how many of them can still hold on to their original loyalty. Isn't there anyone you can trust completely?

By the way, Xu Ruoyu seemed to have a flash of inspiration in his mind.

Now the most powerful people in the entire Kefield are undoubtedly Li Qiu and his son. Therefore, you must first unite those forces that are at a disadvantage. But who among them are able to unite with them, and can they be sure that they will remain loyal to the head of the family in such a critical time?

After thinking about it, an unexpected name appeared in Xu Ruoyu's heart, Baiyunqi.

Yes, Bai Yunqi now holds the fate of the Bai family in his hands. Bai Yunqi was able to control the fate of the Bai family, and that was because Li Yuxuan's order allowed the Bai family to avoid annihilation. If the central power fell into the hands of the other clansmen of the Li family, they would definitely not let go of the Bai family so easily. The open and secret struggle between the two clans has only been reluctantly suppressed because of the relationship between the head of the family and Bai Ruolan. Now that the two key figures are gone, this contradiction is bound to intensify. Therefore, Bai Yunqi's fate is closely linked to Li Yuxuan.

Although the current Bai Yunqi is only a major general, and after this incident, the Bai family's position in the "homeland" has been significantly weakened. But now he is still the commander of the 3rd Army Corps of the "Homeland", and he still holds the command of 2,700 infantry. What's more, Bai Yunqi is still the guardian of Ignatius City, not only controlling the passage from the original Fengxiang Kingdom to Kefield City, but also the closest local power faction to Kefield City.

As long as he gains Bai Yunqi's support, he can prevent Tang Xu and Yao Qianshu's forces from infiltrating Kefield. And Su Mi and Xu Zhixin, who were located north of Luoshui, could not mobilize their troops southward on a large scale. Therefore, it can be said that as long as the princes of various places enter the capital, it is equivalent to controlling the military strength factions in various places, making it impossible for them to cause fatal harm to the "homeland".

Just when Xu Ruoyu was thinking about how to pull Bai Yunqi to his side, an attendant hurriedly rushed into his office.

"Report to the Chief Lord, Commander Lang Zhong led a group of palace guards to clash with four 'staff guards' in the palace. ”

As soon as he heard the news, Xu Ruoyu stood up from his chair.

Damn! I didn't expect to miss one of them.

The three hundred palace guards in the palace are just like their own "staff guards", except for the orders of the head of the family, they only obey the command of Lang Zhong, the head of the palace guards, and are not subordinate to the "homeland" and are directly responsible for the special forces.

Since the palace guards are responsible for the security of the palace, the kitchen in the palace naturally belongs to their scope of duty. There is no doubt that his handling of the situation is clearly an ultra vires. However, this is an extraordinary time, and nature requires extraordinary means.

After Xu Ruoyu got up from the chair, he hurriedly walked out, shouting as he walked, "Prepare a horse for me!"

Horses?

The attendants were dumbfounded.

Usually, Xu Ruoyu takes a carriage in and out, firstly because Xu Ruoyu is a civilian official himself, and secondly, because he is guaranteed to be safe. But today's events seem unusual, and the chief has offered to ride a horse. As you can imagine, something must have happened today, and the situation must have been quite urgent.

Xu Ruoyu rode his horse straight to the Forbidden Palace, and when the horse arrived at the gate of the Forbidden Palace, Xu Ruoyu hurriedly dismounted, handed the horse into the hands of the palace guards, identified the direction, and went in the direction of the kitchen of the Forbidden Palace.

Those palace guards were also inexplicable, and they didn't believe that the chief lord, who had always been calm and composed, could look like he was burning his eyebrows today. Since they were all in charge of guarding outside the gate of the Forbidden Palace, they didn't know the tense situation in the Forbidden Palace at the moment.

"No one is allowed to enter or leave the palace without a warrant from the head of the house and me. Violators will be killed on the spot. ”

When Xu Ruoyu was leaving, he didn't forget to give a death order. This is already equivalent to separating the forbidden palace from the outside into two worlds.

Outside the courtyard of the Forbidden Palace Kitchen.

"If you don't get out of the way, do you want this commander to cut off your heads!"

Lang Zhong looked like he was in a hurry, and he even held the bloody tooth knife carried by the palace guards in his hand.

These "staff guards" were all selected from the "Black Dragon Knights", so Lang Zhong can also be regarded as their old boss. But an order is an order, although in their hearts, Lang Zhongyu still exists, and in the face of the angry old boss, their faces look extremely anxious and nervous. But since they became the "staff guards" at the beginning, their only master is Xu Ruoyu. Unless the head of the family has an order to remove their "staff guards", they can only follow Xu Ruoyu's orders.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, the Chief has ordered no one to come within fifty paces of here. One of the "staff guards" replied stiffly.

"This is the Forbidden Palace, and I am in charge of all the places, and no one is allowed to interfere with my exercise of power, even the chief lord! If you don't get out of the way, then I will exercise my authority and put you in the right place!"

Everyone in the "homeland" knows the strength of the "Blood Knife Langzhong" and his temper. Except for the head of the family, Li Yuxuan, no one could command such a hot-tempered young man.

In the face of this tiger general who terrified the enemy on the battlefield, the four "staff guards" all showed fear on their faces, but they still had no intention of retreating.

"The Chief has ordered that if we let anyone within fifty steps of here, we will have to move our heads. Since both horizontal and vertical are dead, please give our brother a good time. ”

These four "staff guards" did not retreat but advanced, and took a step forward in an orderly manner. In terms of momentum, it is not weaker than the palace guards with a large number of people.

"Okay, very good, worthy of being the person who went out of the 'Black Dragon Knights', he has backbone!" Lang Zhong laughed instead of anger, and shouted, "Since that's the case, then don't blame Ben for being ruthless under the sword!"

With a scolding from Lang Zhong, nearly thirty or forty palace guards withdrew their swords from their waists, and the whole scene was about to develop into a bloody situation.

"Stop it!"

A slightly immature voice came from afar, but the words were incomparably powerful.

"See the Chief Lord!" As soon as everyone saw Xu Ruoyu appear, they all knelt on one knee.

"See the general!" Lang Zhong saw Xu Ruoyu walking to his side, and bowed slightly.

Xu Ruoyu glanced at Lang Zhong and turned his head to face his four subordinates.

"You did a good job this time, everyone will take credit once, and I will have my own reward after I go back!"

"Chief Xie!"

After settling down his own people, Xu Ruoyu turned around to deal with Lang Zhong's palace guards in this regard.

"Commander Langzhong, they are guarding here on my orders, you can find me if there is anything!"

Xu Ruoyu's tone showed that he was in a rather unhappy mood now, and his tone was extremely stern. Obviously, Xu Ruoyu is obviously on his own side in today's matter.

It's just that Lang Zhong is also a tough guy, and he is a temper that would rather bend than bend.

"Tell the general, according to military law, this is the duty place of the palace guards, and the armies of any other faction have no right to perform the duty of duty in the forbidden palace. And no official has the right to interfere with the power of the Praetorian Guard. Even if he is a general, he doesn't have this power!" Lang Zhong didn't care about Xu Ruoyu's identity as a general at all, and looked like he was competing against each other.

Indeed, in the Forbidden Palace, Xu Ruoyu did not have the authority to order the "staff guards" to be responsible for the duties that should have belonged to the palace guards. But today's situation is special, and he knows that it violates military discipline, so he has no choice but to do it.

"Then what if there is a warrant from the head of the family?" Xu Ruoyu suppressed the anger in his heart and said lightly.

"Of course. As soon as he heard the other party mention the warrant of the head of the family, Lang Zhong's previous arrogance suddenly disappeared.

"Very well, then you can go back to my house with me now, because I left in a hurry, and the warrant of the Taoist master is still in my office. ”

After all, Lang Zhong is just a tiger general, although he charges on the battlefield, no one can stop him. But if you talk about scheming, even if the ten Lang are added together, I am afraid that they will not be able to defeat one Xu Ruoyu.

If it were Tang Xu or Xu Zhixin today, they would definitely detect a trace of abnormality from Xu Ruoyu's words.

Xu Ruoyu has always been methodical and meticulous in doing things. Judging by the hurried appearance he had just had, he must have come because he learned about something here. According to the past situation, Xu Ruoyu would never be so obviously partial to his own people. The warrant of the head of the family will be presented first. What's even more strange is that he knows that as long as the warrant from the head of the family arrives, anything can be solved, but the chief of the "staff service" known for his shrewdness and meticulousness, the general Xu Ruoyu, will forget the warrant at home. This kind of mistake could never happen to him, but Lang Zhong was not aware of the subtlety of the situation at all.
