In a chaotic world, border soldiers begin their journey by enlisting in the army and getting married

With a shout from Wulu, the martial arts masters and soldiers of the martial arts school gathered forward, and in an instant, the two groups faced off.

This is clearly not the first time this has happened.

Compared to the tense standoff between the two groups, Young Master Yu maintained his aloof and superior demeanor.

He looked at Chen Shan with a flippant gaze.

"He's nothing more than Rou'er's subordinate, a lowly person. What can he do besides brute force?"

"This isn't some backwater, desolate place like the borderlands, kid. You've offended me..."

Young Master Yu opened his mouth, but before he could finish speaking, Chen Shan interrupted him.

"That dog's barking is really annoying."

"Looks like if I don't teach you a lesson today, you'll really think you can get away with stepping on my head."

Before anyone could react, Chen Shan stepped forward and slapped Young Master Yu across the face!

Snapped!

The most straightforward and brutal slap in the face, and although Chen Shan held back some of his strength, this slap still sent Young Master Yu flying out of the crowd!

He crashed heavily onto the street!

"You, you actually dared to hit Young Master Yu!"

In an instant, the entire room fell silent.

There was a deathly silence on both sides!

In the past, when the two sides confronted each other, it was nothing more than a war of words; even the soldiers would not actually fight.

After all, everyone knows that taking action will not end well.

Ultimately, with the powerful civil officials in the capital, these scholars all had powerful backers to varying degrees.

But no one expected that Chen Shan would be so decisive, immediately slapping Young Master Yu unconscious!

"Noisy."

"I am a young general, and all my achievements have been for the sake of the Xia Kingdom. How dare a bunch of pedantic scholars be so insolent before me?"

"If this continues, I, the general, will not hesitate to kill you all."

Chen Shan spoke these words seemingly calmly, but the murderous intent he subtly revealed was astonishing.

These scholars were nothing but naive lambs, and although they were called scholars, all they read was about decadence and extravagance, and all they learned was how to curry favor with the powerful.

How can anyone compare to someone who has truly fought and grown on the battlefield?

"General Chen, this young master Yu's identity is not simple..."

"You'd better leave quickly."

Uru quickly reminded him from the side.

After all, this is the capital city. Although Chen Shan has made achievements, he is still only a junior general.

Although the Xia Kingdom now has a stronger civil official position, it still has quite a few young generals.

This is just a military rank; it has absolutely no power in the capital.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he held a nominal position in the capital.

"It's alright."

"As a newcomer, I need to make a good impression so that everyone thinks I'm easy to bully."

Chen Shan was completely casual and didn't take this Young Master Yu seriously at all.

From the moment the other party dared to address Nan Tu Rou directly and even came to propose marriage, he knew that this person was no ordinary individual.

I just don't know who has a higher status compared to Kong Qingzhi back then.

"You bunch of brutes! Just wait until you're finished!"

A group of scholars made a series of harsh remarks and hurriedly carried Young Master Yu away. Chen Shan was a real hothead and dared to take action.

Young Master Yu has been knocked unconscious; if something goes wrong, it will be difficult to explain.

Seeing that the person had left, Chen Shan didn't bother to linger any longer.

He greeted them and then turned to continue strolling around.

Chen Shan acted as if nothing had happened, but the news spread quickly.

The powerful and influential figures in the capital also heard about this.

Those who were initially observing also began to take action.

A small courtyard in the south of the city.

Chen Shan had just returned when he saw Wang Xiaoya, Mo Yiyao, and the other two. The three women had spent the afternoon shopping and had bought quite a few things.

"My lord."

Seeing Chen Shan approach, Liu Ruyu quickly stepped forward as well.

With a hint of worry on her face, she asked, "I heard you hit someone today, husband?"

Chen Shan was taken aback by these words.

How did they even know about such a small thing while they were out shopping?

"Where did you hear that from?"

Chen Shan asked curiously, but Mo Yiyao stepped forward and looked him up and down with her eyes.

"My lord, I strongly suspect you did this on purpose."

"Do you think the capital is too peaceful, so you're deliberately causing trouble?"

"The person you hit, I heard, is the son of some high-ranking official in the imperial court."

Mo Yiyao was quick-witted; she immediately guessed Chen Shan's purpose.

"Let's go inside and talk."

"Gao Shun, have someone keep an eye out. Anyone caught spying here should be arrested and interrogated."

"Anyway, we're new here, so there's no need to worry."

Chen Shan gave an order and led the three women into the courtyard.

I just got back, and all five women are here.

Apart from Xu Sijing, who was reading in her room, everyone else was present.

"Husband, you hit Young Master Yu?"

As soon as they met, Chu Yiren asked a question.

This made Chen Shan even more curious.

Chu Yiren and Xiao Ningning didn't go out, so how come they also know about this?

"And where did you find out that?"

"This is what the soldiers heard while they were patrolling outside. Now, it's probably known throughout this area, and even the capital."

Upon hearing Chu Yiren's words, Chen Shan calmly sat down.

"It's just that you hit someone; it's good enough that you didn't kill them."

"By the way, has no one come knocking? They've been here for quite a while now, and the Ministry of War hasn't given us any news yet, has it?"

Chen Shan didn't take it to heart; he was more curious about what the imperial court was doing.

Although civil officials wielded great power, the military side still had figures like the Southern Slaughter King to maintain order.

It's not to the point of marginalizing military generals.

Moreover, this is especially true for someone like Chen Shan, who already has great achievements.

If we were to abandon it, many military officers would likely feel disheartened.

Civil officials are meant to control military power, but not to weaken it. Chen Shan didn't believe they would do that.

"Someone has arrived and said that you need to report to the Ministry of War first thing tomorrow morning."

"But now that this has happened, I suspect there will be other troubles to come."

"After all, having assaulted someone, he was somewhat seen as a troublemaker in the eyes of civil officials."

Hearing Chu Yiren's words, Chen Shan didn't seem to care.

"Never mind that, let's get something to eat first."

"As for other aspects, those are not things we should be considering right now."

Chen Shan had no intention of delving into anything at this point.

This trip was originally for a day off, and as for other issues, we'll deal with them as they come.

It would be good if I could inquire about the situation of the imperial court along the way.

On his first day in the capital, Chen Shan beat someone up, which became the talk of the town, but it didn't cause him much trouble.

The next morning.

Chen Shan, accompanied by several guards, headed directly towards the Ministry of War.

To get to the Ministry of War, you need to go to the inner city and enter the imperial city.

Even so, it requires multiple levels of approval.

It was extremely troublesome.

Chen Shan had come to a clear understanding: the social hierarchy in the capital was extremely strict, with clear distinctions between classes.

However, even so, how could someone of Young Master Yu's status appear in the outer city?

At that time, in the imperial city, at the Ministry of War.

The main body of the six ministries of the Xia Kingdom was located in the imperial city, and they were divided into six government offices.

When Chen Shan arrived at the Ministry of War, he looked at the guards outside the government office and around. The people coming and going from the Ministry of War didn't seem very scholarly.
