Patrol Captain

On the viewing platform, the Censor, wearing a black fu hat, a green robe, and a silver fish bag hanging from his waist, sat in the main seat.

A pair of fox eyes were narrow and sharp, and a cold aura emanated from his whole body. His gaze suddenly turned to the northwest corner of the training ground, and lightning flashed in his eyes, which narrowed slightly.

Then he slowly raised his hand.

Sitting at the lower seat next to him was the General of the Household who commanded the imperial army camp. He was wearing scarlet fish-scale armor. When he saw the Censor raising his hand, he glanced over and, not daring to be negligent, bowed.

"General Wang, what's wrong?"

The General of the Imperial Guards was a fourth-rank military officer, half a level higher than his local counterparts. However, the official uniform worn by this Censor was green, and he was of the seventh rank. Not only was the rank difference huge, but it was also reversed.

This is nothing more than the special nature of the Censor-in-Chief. The Censor-in-Chief supervises the training of the imperial guards, inspects military discipline and military law, and is the emperor's military supervisor. Although his rank is not high, his power is enormous. Therefore, we cannot judge him simply by his rank, but by the identity he represents.

"Stop the training and call over those peasants from Shu." The censor had a beard on his chin, but his voice was sinister as he looked at the men in black armor who were watching the fun outside the parade ground.

The General followed his gaze and looked at the group of black-armored soldiers. He couldn't help but frowned, "General Wang, these are the guards of the Shu general. I have no right to shout at them."

Before he finished speaking, he felt that the tone of the military inspector Wang was unfriendly and he didn't know what the inspector wanted to do.

The Shu general behind these black armors now has a sensitive identity. He knows a little about the rumors in the court and doesn't want to get involved. So in the past few days, these Shu soldiers were placed in the camp. He ordered his men not to get close to these soldiers or to have conflicts with them. Those who should be placed should be placed there and everything should be peaceful.

The idea of ​​this General of the Household was very simple. He thought it was taboo that the fighting in the court should not involve the imperial guards camp.

But the military supervisor Wang obviously didn't think so. He turned his head and opened his fox eyes slightly, which were so attractive to people. He looked down and said, "Lin Zhonglang, what did you just say? The whole world belongs to the king, and all the people are the king's subjects. If these words were to spread out, what would His Majesty think? You must know what it means to be in the emperor's heart!"

"Stop the drill."

He glanced down, said something meaningful, gave an order in an unquestionable tone, and then raised his hand and waved back.

An accompanying inspector standing behind him immediately stepped forward and bowed his head, saying obediently, "Godfather!"

"Call the people over here."

"Yes!"

The inspector's "son" immediately responded, holding the knife at his waist, and walked quickly towards the northwest corner of the parade ground.

The Zhonglang General named Lin Zhonglang was slightly stern. He was speechless after being confronted by the other party. He could only be silent and gave the order.

"Stop the drill!"

Immediately, the captains around him received the order, and they beat gongs and rang bells, and some waved command flags.

Soon, the horn sounded, and in the huge parade ground, the imperial guards who were training to kill the enemy gradually stopped. Horses neighed, shouts were heard, and everyone looked towards the parade platform with confusion, because the training was not over yet.

"Why did you stop?"

"."

On the other side, the inspector's attendant of General Wang quickly jumped off the platform, mounted a chestnut horse, and rode towards the northwest corner of the parade ground.

After a while, he arrived at the camp over there, but when he was about to rush to the group of black-armored men, a sinister light flashed in his eyes. As the godson of his godfather, he was best at guessing his godfather's thoughts, otherwise he would not have risen to his current position from a powerless pawn.

He deliberately did not pull the reins to slow down, and the horse neighed as it rushed forward to show those peasants a warning.

A sinister thought flashed through the man's eyes, but when he was still thirty or forty feet away from the group of black-armored men, the chestnut horse under his feet seemed to sense something and suddenly neighed. Then, as if frightened, its hooves softened, its entire front legs bent, and the whole horse fell to the ground, splashing mud and sand.

The horse was frightened and the incident happened suddenly. Although the military supervisor on the horse reacted quickly and wanted to step on the saddle, he was still a step too slow. Due to inertia, his body rolled in the air, and then rolled several times on the ground before he released the force.

It just rolled in front of the ninth mountain soldier!

A group of Ninth Mountain Armored Warriors looked at each other, not realizing that they had often fought with demons and had been stained with countless demon blood and evil spirits that frightened their horses. They thought that they couldn't even ride properly?
Finally came a sentence.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Someone reached out to help him, but the military supervisor's attendant, Wang Jianjun's "good boy", got up from the ground, slapped the help away, and showed an angry look on his face.

"who is it?"

"Who launched the sneak attack? You peasants are so brave."

He blamed the reason for falling off the horse on the soldiers of the Ninth Mountain in front of him. Otherwise, why would the horse fall down? He suffered such a great humiliation on the field, so he was furious and his words became sharp.

When the Ninth Mountain Warrior heard this, his face immediately darkened.

"What did you say?"

There was a tall soldier with hideous scars above and below one eye. He tried to help someone with good intentions, but the man in front of him pointed at his nose and scolded him. The big hand that was slapped away grabbed the collar of the "good guy" like lightning and lifted him up. His eyes were glaring, and his eyeballs were bulging with bloodshot around the edges, which was quite fascinating.

The supervisory attendant's face changed, and he was about to draw the knife at his waist, but the Ninth Mountain Warrior just slapped it and put it away.

The supervisory attendant only felt a burning sensation on his hands, and when he looked into the man's eyes, he felt as if he was looking at a murderous beast. The true energy in his body stagnated for a moment, and he couldn't help but be frightened. His originally domineering aura suddenly became less powerful.

"you"

At this moment, a shout came from the Ninth Mountain Armor.
"Lao Hu, let go, don't cause any trouble!"

I saw a man in green armor walking out from behind. He had a strong build and a dark complexion. His rank was that of a captain, but he had the cultivation of a celestial being and his voice was deep.

This man is called Niu Bing. He was one of the thousands of soldiers who followed Chen Yuan at the beginning. He once led a team with several lieutenants to guard the abnormal General Mountain. He escorted a mysterious fire feather to the general under the pursuit of powerful enemies. He is a veteran among the veterans of the Ninth Mountain. He has basically participated in all the key battles of the Ninth Mountain both internally and externally. Those who can survive all the way through the cruel battlefield of demons have now become the backbone of the Ninth Mountain.

Upon hearing this, the scarred man loosened his hand and let the other person go.

The military supervisor staggered back a few steps, steadied himself, his face flushed red, looking extremely ugly, he drew his knife, his face stern,

"Someone, come here. Take these..."

But before he could finish, a cold shout interrupted him.

"enough!"

On the parade platform a few miles away, General Wang, who was sitting at the head of the group, had a gloomy face and a flash of disgust in his eyes. This idiot was like a bitch, he didn't know how to deal with people, he caused trouble and lost face.

"return!"

At this time, thousands of imperial guards were attracted by the movement over there. Seeing this scene, many people frowned slightly and looked straight at it. They only saw the horses being overturned. They thought that the soldiers from Shu had touched their own people, and some people were about to move and commotion. "What are you doing? Don't move!" Lin Zhonglang frowned and slowly stood up. He looked coldly at the son of Wang Jianjun. Since the other party started, he followed with his eyes and didn't see the soldiers from Shu take action at all. The horse suddenly fell down, and he suspected that this guy directed and acted it himself to provoke a conflict.

What do these two people want to do?

He really didn't have any good feelings towards this kind of godfather, as it ruined the morale of the army.

After hearing the scolding from his godfather, the "godson" looked back and saw that everyone was staring at him, making himself look like a clown. He then looked at his godfather's face and his flushed face immediately turned pale.

He could only swallow his anger and hurriedly pulled up the chestnut horse that was struggling on its knees. He fiercely glanced at the Ninth Mountain Armored Soldier, suppressed his anger and said in a gloomy voice,
"The military supervisor wants you to come over!"

Having said that, he jumped on his horse and rode back in a panic on the limping horse.

Seeing this scene, Niu Bing looked at the reviewing platform, then looked at the training ground. With many eyes focused on him, he frowned.

He waved his hand, leaped a few steps, and came directly to the reviewing platform. He glanced around and held the handrail.
"I am Niu Bing, the captain of the Ninth Mountain."

"I haven't met you two yet, so I don't know how you two adults feel?"

His eyes were mainly on Wang Jianjun, who was sitting at the head of the table, and he was secretly wondering what the other person was thinking.

He was alert in his heart, as the other party's expression was unfriendly. Before coming to the capital, the general had told him in advance that he needed to be careful in everything after entering the capital to avoid being targeted.

Wang Jianjun was naturally too lazy to explain his title to a small lieutenant. He sat on the chair, squinting his eyes with a look of contempt and sharpness.
"During the military training just now, I heard you saying that my Imperial Guards' tactics are not as good as yours, and that my Daqian Imperial Guards are just fancy moves?"

"How brave!"

He sneered and raised his voice, which floated over the training ground.

The loud noise instantly caused the entire Imperial Guards training ground to explode, followed by angry shouts and cold sneers.

"what?"

"It's outrageous that these border troops look down on us!"

"What a joke! When will it be their turn to attack our imperial guards?"

"Humph, I don't know what it means!"

"Let's have a real fight!"

"."

The soldiers of the Imperial Guards were either sons of noble families or excellent martial arts masters picked from thousands. They were proud in their hearts, so they naturally looked stern and sullen when a group of border soldiers talked about them like this.

Even Lin Zhonglang's eyes turned cold after hearing these words, and his eyes lit up with sharpness as he stared at Niu Bing.

When Niu Bing heard what the Censor said and the "excited crowd" at the scene, his dark face immediately turned cold.

When did his brothers from the Ninth Mountain say these things? At most, they just said that the tactics of the Imperial Guards were a bit chaotic, but they never said they were inferior to them. He immediately realized that the guy in front of him with pale skin and sinister eyes wanted to mess with them.

With his eyelids pulled up, he looked directly at the Censor in front of him. Facing the other party's deliberate pressure, Niu Bing pushed back directly with a blank expression.
"Sir, we, the soldiers of the Ninth Mountain, only envy our brothers in the Imperial Guards for their excellent weapons and bravery in training. I wonder which ear you have heard us say this. A real man walks upright and sits upright. We are all brothers in the army. We have shed our blood on the battlefield and sacrificed our lives. How dare we laugh at us?"

As he spoke, he stared at Wang Jianjun's every word.
"I don't know how our Ninth Mountain offended the adults, so they put this accusation on us."

This can be said to be very direct, without changing one's expression.

The general reminded them not to cause trouble, but also told them not to be afraid of trouble.

Facing Niu Bing's blunt rebuttal, the military supervisor Wang Xi's face darkened, and he leaned forward in his chair, looking at Niu Bing with a pair of fox eyes, which flashed with sharpness.
"What a eloquent speaker!"

"I dare not admit such outrageous words."

"Well, since you are not convinced, you from the Ninth Mountain will compete with the Imperial Guards. Everything will be decided by strength!"

"Let us also see what kind of soldiers are under the command of General Chen, who killed the patrol angel and defied the imperial court."

This guy finally showed his claws at this point.

Find an excuse to start a rebellion, mobilize the emotions of the imperial guards, and then force the troops who accompanied Chen Yuan to the capital to end their lives. As for whether they are willing to do so or not, it is not up to them.

At this time, Wang Xi looked at Niu Bing with a sneer in his eyes. He knew what Jian was in the emperor's heart. As the emperor's military supervisor, he could guess some of the current emperor's thoughts. The emperor did not want to directly deal with the Shu general and let others deal with him. Naturally, he could do his part.

Moreover, the Censor-in-Chief is nominally a member of the Censorate, and he can also give face to the Chief Censor, Doctor Meng. Why not do it?

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the imperial guards who were inspired started to speak up.
"I'm here! The guy from the Ninth Mountain, let's have a fight if you can."

"I'll do it! It's a good opportunity to see if you, the frontier troops, are vulnerable."

"."

The sounds rose and fell on the training ground.

At this time, Lin Zhonglang also sensed what was going on and reacted completely. His face turned stern and he shouted, trying to suppress the situation by force.

"Shut up, everyone. Why are you making so much noise?" His eyes were like an eagle as he scanned the training ground. His daily accumulated authority was barely enough to calm the situation. As he spoke, his voice was indeed much softer.

Then he turned sideways and looked at the Censor Wang Xi, his face looking a little unhappy. The other party wanted to use his imperial guards to interfere in the court fight, which he did not like. His voice was a little stiff.
"General Wang, let's just forget about this. General Chen is currently at the Hanging Temple on the mountain, which doesn't seem right."

He just finished speaking.

"General, I am afraid, but I am not. Gong Yangxiu is willing to fight with the brothers from the Ninth Mountain."

In the parade ground, a young man with white eyebrows, nine feet tall, wearing green and gold armor, with skin that glowed slightly like silver, rode a horse and walked out from the crowd with a sneer on his face.

"I, Huangfu Qi, also count as one!" Another loud shout was heard, and another young man rode his horse to the reviewing platform. He was eight feet tall, holding a long spear, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"How can I be missing!" Finally, another person came out shouting, a soldier with a sword on his waist, a scholarly look, and peach blossom eyes.

Three people left the scene.

They were the three sons of the three imperial families in the imperial guards, some of them were direct descendants, some were collateral descendants,
They jumped out fearlessly, some with cold eyes, some eager to make a move, with excitement.

If they defeat and humiliate the warriors of the Ninth Mountain, I think the family will be happy to give them some rewards. (End of this chapter)
