Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 478 You are such an idiot!

the next morning.

Yang Zhengshan sat in front of the ceremonial gate in the front yard of the marquis's mansion, looking at the guards lined up in front.

Two hundred personal guards and one hundred escort guards, these are the manpower he can mobilize now.

The number of people is not large, but the strength is definitely not weak.

There is no need to say much about the two hundred guards. Each of them has a cultivation level of above the fourth level.

The one hundred guards were similar; they had also received military training, and their cultivation was all above the fourth level of the acquired realm.

"My lord, everyone is here!" Luo Jinsong stepped forward and reported.

Ding Qiu and Wu Zhan stood behind Yang Zhengshan.

As for Wu Zheng, he is not responsible for guarding, he is specifically responsible for gathering information. He has a lot of people under his command, but Yang Zhengshan will not use his people.

Yang Zhengshan nodded, slowly stood up, and said with a smile: "There will be a big operation this afternoon. Brothers, you must be careful when the time comes, don't capsize in the ditch!"

The guards' eyes suddenly lit up when they heard this.

Raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a while!
They have not fought for three or four years since they defeated the Wuliang army. This is really a case of keeping the troops for a thousand days.

Looking at the guards who seemed particularly excited, Yang Zhengshan raised the corners of his mouth and pressed his hands, "Haha, today is a small scene, well, a very small scene, just catching a group of petty thieves!"

"But this is our first battle since we came to Kyoto. You must show the might of our mansion and let everyone in Kyoto know that the soldiers from Chongshan Town are the elite among the elite!"

Although they are all guards of the Yang family now, they are actually soldiers of Chongshan Town at heart.

Even the Yang family’s former guards were like this!
"No matter how capable you are, show them to me today. I am waiting to make you proud!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

If you don’t sing, you will be a blockbuster!
Everyone knows that Yang Zhengshan has made great military achievements, but how many people have actually seen the elite army under his command?

Today is just a small scene, without huge troops, but Yang Zhengshan wants to show the power of huge troops!

Let the dignitaries, civil and military officials, and common people in Kyoto see what the elite among the elite are.

"Don't worry, My Lord, we will never bring shame upon you!" Luo Jinsong said loudly.

Looking at the excited faces, Yang Zhengshan's eyes sparkled and he ordered, "Eat and wait for departure!"

It was almost noon at this time, and it took the guards a lot of time to enter the city from the farm. In order to conceal their tracks, they entered the city from different gates in batches.

Now the Marquis Jing'an's Mansion is tense inside while loose outside. From the outside, it looks like the Marquis Jing'an's Mansion is still the same as before, with the main door and the side door open and it's quiet in front of the door. But in fact, there are servants on duty at all the entrances to prevent anyone from spying on the situation inside the Mansion.

"Here!"

Everyone responded, then dispersed and ran to the yard next door to start eating.

People are iron, and rice is steel, so you panic if you don't eat a meal.

Not only do warriors need to eat, but their appetite is also much larger than that of ordinary people.

In the past, Yang Zhengshan had to eat five bowls of rice in one meal, and he could not eat one bowl less. However, after entering the innate realm, his appetite became much smaller, and he would not feel hungry even if he did not eat for two or three days.

It's just that he has become accustomed to eating and drinking a lot, so now he still maintains the habit of eating every meal, and eats a lot at every meal.

Between the Neiyi Gate and the Fu Gate, the courtyard on the east side is the living area for the guards, which contains not only dormitories and dining halls, but also stables, armories, etc.

It’s a pity that Yang Zhengshan is not leading the troops now, so the armor cannot be stored at home.

These guards can only fight in black tights now, but it doesn’t matter. What they will face next is not the enemy on the battlefield, but a group of people similar to martial artists.

After the guards finished their meal, Yang Zhengshan also put on the gilded armor with mountain patterns. The extra armor could not be kept at home, but Yang Zhengshan's own armor could still be kept at home.

Wearing gilded mountain armor, holding a black iron spear, and sitting astride Hongyun's back, Yang Zhengshan's temperament suddenly changed.

Murderous and majestic!

Under his leadership, the three hundred guards instantly became more powerful.

The time had not yet come, and Yang Zhengshan was standing quietly behind the mansion gate on horseback, waiting. Behind him, three hundred guards were holding weapons, lined up in neat rows, and stood straight.

If someone came here suddenly, they would definitely be scared.

While Yang Zhengshan was waiting, Emperor Yanping was sitting in the imperial study in the imperial city, playing with a small black jade Qilin calmly.

"Old slave pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Nan Sheng walked into the study, first glanced at the young eunuchs standing beside him, then hurried forward to pay their respects.

"Ok!"

Emperor Yanping lowered his eyes, his attention still focused on the black jade Qilin in his hand.

The tiny black jade Qilin is only two inches in size, but the carving is extremely surprising, vivid and lifelike, and obviously the work of a famous craftsman.

Nan Sheng stood aside with his head down, but he glanced at Emperor Yanping from time to time.

He felt that something seemed to be wrong with Emperor Yanping today. It seemed that he had not seen such a calm Emperor Yanping for a long time.

Before ascending the throne, Emperor Yanping had a cynical attitude towards everything, and he could remain calm even when he encountered trouble.

But after ascending the throne, Emperor Yanping's state of mind became unbalanced, he seemed a little impatient in doing things, and that cynical mentality disappeared.

But today, Nan Sheng suddenly felt that the original cynical King Cheng was back!
Time passed minute by minute, and the atmosphere in the imperial study became quiet and a little stuffy, which made Nan Sheng feel inexplicably panic.

Suddenly, Emperor Yanping spoke up, "What time is it?"

"Your Majesty~~"

Nan Sheng was about to reply, but suddenly he noticed a figure walking out from behind the curtain on the left side of Emperor Yanping, "Your Majesty, it's already 3 p.m.!"

Nan Sheng's pupils suddenly shrank and he stared at the figure.

This was a strange figure with a face he had never seen before.

He was the chief eunuch beside Emperor Yanping. Not only was he in charge of the Imperial Household Department, he was also the imperial envoy of the Secret Guard and the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard.

But now a face he had never seen before appeared next to Emperor Yanping, which made him feel a little incredible.

Emperor Yanping raised his head, looked at the shock on Nansheng's face, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

“Nan Sheng!”

"The old slave is here!"

"Do you know who he is?"

"I don't know!"

"Then let me introduce you to Blood Blade Commander Black Blade!"

Emperor Yanping had a playful smile on his face, and pointed his finger to the right, "And him, Blood Blade Commander White Sword!"

Nan Sheng turned his head stiffly to look to the right, only to see a figure appear behind the curtain at some point.

Blood Blade, he naturally knew about it.

Blood Blade is in the Imperial Guard, but the Imperial Guard does not have the command over Blood Blade.

He had also thought about controlling the Blood Blades, but later discovered that there were only a dozen Blood Blades, and each of them seemed extremely cold and cruel, which forced him to give up the initiative to contact the Blood Blades.

In fact, Xue Ren has more than a dozen people. Since Taizu established Darong more than three hundred years ago, Xue Ren has maintained a size of forty-eight people.

The Blood Blade is divided into four teams: White Sword, Black Knife, Thunder Spear, and Wind Arrow.

Each team consists of twelve people, and each person has his or her own heritage.

To put it simply, the forty-eight Blood Blades have been passed down from generation to generation, and the Blood Blade from three hundred years ago is the ancestor of the Blood Blade today.

Therefore, Xue Ren's family and descendants are also called the Soul Guardians.

What they are guarding are the spirits of their ancestors, the spirits of their great ancestors.

And their residence was in the imperial tomb.

This secret was not known by many people in the whole Darong. Nan Sheng didn't know, he thought that there were only a dozen people in the Blood Blade.

Looking at the white sword and black knife coming out from behind the curtain, Nan Sheng's panic became more and more intense.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the palace.

Hua Hua Hua~~
The sound of orderly footsteps mixed with the friction of armor surrounded the Tai Chi Hall.

"His Majesty!"

Nan Sheng looked at Emperor Yanping in astonishment.

Emperor Yanping stood up and glanced at him calmly, "Tell me, I really want to know who you are working for?"

Nan Sheng's pupils suddenly shrank, and the next moment he fell to his knees with a thud.

"Your Majesty, I am loyal to you!"

"Loyal! Haha~~ I don't want to hear your excuses, but as master and servant, I am still willing to give you a chance!"

Emperor Yanping stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Nansheng with amusement in his eyes.

"Do you think you'll have another chance?"

Nan Sheng lay on the ground, trembling.

He was afraid, an innate fear.

"Old slave, old slave~~"

He wanted to argue, but for a moment he didn't know how to argue.

Since Emperor Yanping has already taken action, it means that everything outside is ready.

"You should be very familiar with the torture methods of the Secret Guards. If you want to try it, I have no objection!"

Emperor Yanping gave him a stern look, then walked out the door.

"His Majesty!"

Nan Sheng wanted to beg for mercy, but as soon as he raised his head, a knife and a sword fell in front of him.

The blade was as sharp as ink and the edge of the sword was like a mirror, reflecting his eyes full of fear.

Looking into his own eyes and feeling the panic from the bottom of his heart, Nan Sheng suddenly felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained away. He collapsed to the ground with a pale face.

"Your Majesty, I don't know!"

Emperor Yanping stopped at the door and turned to look at him, "I don't know!"

"He calls himself Chi Jun!" Nan Sheng said hoarsely.

"Lord Chi!" Emperor Yanping's expression slightly changed, "So why did you betray me?"

"Old slave, old slave~~" Nan Sheng was about to speak but stopped. He looked at Emperor Yanping pleadingly, "It was because of my greed that I did something wrong! They caught me!"

Emperor Yanping was stunned. "You were greedy and did something wrong! Was it because of the things you hid?"

"Your Majesty knows!" Now it was Nan Sheng's turn to be surprised.

Emperor Yanping shook his head helplessly, "You are such an idiot!"

How could he not know that Nan Sheng was greedy?

After all, they grew up together.

Nan Sheng was greedy for a lot of things. Ever since he came to Prince Cheng's Palace, he had liked antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jade and other treasures. Later, when Emperor Yanping became the crown prince, General Yang Zhengshan presented him with a lot of glass ornaments and glass making methods, and Nan Sheng took most of those glass ornaments for himself.

As for other things, Nan Sheng has collected quite a few things over the years. He even built a yard outside the imperial city specifically to store these things.

Emperor Yanping knew all this, but he didn't care too much.

He is just a servant. As long as he wants, he can take everything from Nansheng at any time.

In his opinion, Nan Shengcun's treasures were his, and it was just a matter of transferring them from one hand to the other.

But this idiot actually betrayed him because of this!

Emperor Yanping was so angry that he laughed!
Nan Sheng is a ruthless guy who lacks wisdom. It's okay to let him use some ruthless tactics, but don't expect him to be a smart person.

Emperor Yanping has lost his patience with Nansheng.

This guy was obviously fooled by someone. He didn't even know the other party's identity, but he dared to do so many things for the other party.

Chijun!

I haven't heard of this name!
I don’t know where it came from!
Emperor Yanping waved his hand and walked out of the study.

The white sword and black knife behind him stepped forward and ruthlessly cut off Nan Sheng's limbs. The severe pain made Nan Sheng scream miserably, but his screams soon stopped. Several eunuchs next to him dragged him out of the study like a dead dog.

Emperor Yanping stood in front of the door, and thousands of Yulin Guards had surrounded the Taiji Hall.

At the same time, a large number of royal army soldiers had poured into the imperial city and surrounded several palaces in the imperial city.

In the Wenyuan Pavilion, Song Yuange, Zhou Yunsong and several other elders looked at the imperial guards outside the palace in bewilderment.

"Generals, what does this mean?"

Song Yuange stepped forward and asked with a frown.

"I'm honored to meet you all, and I'm following the orders of His Majesty to seal off the imperial city. Please don't panic, we're only here to protect you!" replied the leading general.

Song Yuange looked at him and was about to ask what happened, but he saw a group of people in the distance rushing eastward.

In front of Wenyuan Pavilion is Wenhua Hall, both of which are to the east of Taiji Hall and Fengtian Hall.

The Imperial Guard is located to the east of Wenyuan Pavilion, and includes the Imperial Guard, Imperial Medical Service, etc.

Song Yuange was very sharp and saw a familiar figure. At first he thought he was seeing things, but he soon confirmed that he was not seeing things.

"Wait, Eunuch Chen, wait~~" Song Yuange couldn't help shouting, and ran out regardless of the obstruction of his own soldiers.

Chen Zhongshu, who was on his way to the Imperial Guard, saw Song Yuange jogging over and couldn't help but stop.

"It turns out to be Lord Song. We have met Lord Song!" Chen Zhongshu said with a smile.

"I dare not. What's this, Eunuch Chen?" Song Yuange looked at the people behind Chen Zhongshu, and he also saw Wang Zhongzhi.

Not only Wang Zhongzhi, but also Lu Hua and three other admirals of the Secret Guard.

Admiral Lu Hua of Zhenbei Division, Admiral Ning Qi of Zhennan Division, Admiral Yan Bo of Zhendong Division, and Admiral Zhang Wuchang of Zhenxi Division.

The four admirals of the Secret Guard appeared at the same time, along with Wang Zhongzhi who was stripped of his post and imprisoned, and Chen Zhongshu who was supposed to be guarding the imperial tomb.

This was obviously something big!
"Don't worry, Mr. Song. We are just following His Majesty's orders to come back and clean up some little rats!"

"Haha, let's wait until we catch all these little mice, then we'll come and reminisce with Elder Song!"

"Master Song, please stay. I will take my leave first!"

As he spoke, Chen Zhongshu bowed and walked towards the direction of the Imperial Guard.

Wang Zhongzhi and others also bowed to Song Yuange and left with Chen Zhongshu.

Song Yuange looked at his back, his face filled with solemnity.

Obviously this is no small matter!
Imperial Guard?
Song Yuange had some ideas in his mind.

Although he was not very clear about many things that Nan Sheng had done during this period, he knew some things, such as the problems within the Secret Guard and the death of Yi Lishen, which were vaguely related to Nan Sheng.

But this is an internal court matter after all, and it is not easy for him, as the prime minister, to interfere.

This is where he is inferior to Li Siyuan. If Li Siyuan were still alive, he would definitely know all of this.
