My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

The next day arrived.

As dawn broke, servants were already moving about inside the Zhenbei Marquis's residence.

Jiang Jingxuan got up early, tidied his clothes, and slowly walked out of his residence.

As soon as Jiang Jingxuan arrived outside the courtyard, he saw Zhang Xinnian waiting there.

"Third Master!"

Upon seeing Jiang Jingxuan, Zhang Xinnian respectfully greeted him: "The carriage is ready; we can go to the military camp at any time!"

"good!"

Jiang Jingxuan nodded in satisfaction.

Although this New Year's picture looks a bit fierce, he's actually quite efficient in getting things done.

Furthermore, according to what the old man said yesterday, someone would have entered the prison last night and taken action against Jiang Jingcheng and Jiang Xiaobai.

So now, his second brother and his good nephew should be dead, right?

Next, as long as he successfully takes over the barracks, the entire Zhenbei Marquis's mansion will be completely in his hands.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jingxuan's mood improved considerably, and he looked at Zhang Xinnian, saying, "Let's go, let's go to the barracks now!"

After saying that, Jiang Jingxuan put his hands behind his back and led the way out of the Marquis's residence.

Zhang Xinnian followed respectfully behind.

After the two arrived outside, Jiang Jingxuan got into the carriage.

Zhang Xinnian sat in front, picked up the whip, and drove the carriage towards the north of the city.

After the carriage had traveled some distance, Zhang Xinnian glanced around and quietly took out a slip of paper from his pocket.

After looking down, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.

"hehe!"

Zhang Xinnian chuckled coldly twice, stuffed the note back into his pocket, and cracked the whip to make the carriage go faster.

Inside the carriage, Jiang Jingxuan looked out the window at the bustling street outside, a smile on his face.

If he can take control of the military camp as soon as possible, the 30,000 soldiers in the capital will obey his orders.

By that time, let alone the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion.

Even the 800,000-strong army in the North, he has the right to gradually intervene!

ten years.

He stayed in Beiyu for a full ten years!

Now I can finally return to the Jiang family and take everything that Jiang Jingcheng owns!

Thinking of this, Jiang Jingxuan's smile deepened, and finally he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Upon hearing the laughter, Zhang Xinnian, who was driving ahead, flashed a mocking look in his eyes.

Laugh now, laugh a lot.

He wanted to see if this bastard could still be laughing so happily once they got to the barracks!

……

Although the Jiang family's military camp was located within the capital city, it was situated in a remote area in the north of the city.

Few ordinary people lived in the surrounding area, and the camps and flags could be seen from afar.

Before the carriage had even gotten really close, the sound of orderly training could be heard coming from inside.

"kill!"

"kill!"

The sounds came in waves, one after another, and sounded incredibly powerful.

Sitting inside the carriage, Jiang Jingxuan's anticipation grew even stronger upon hearing such a grand display.

Soon, the carriage passed through the gate of the barracks and drove inside.

Jiang Jingxuan lifted the carriage curtain and glanced outside. He saw soldiers in black armor walking back and forth on both sides of the road.

In the distance, on the training ground, a large number of soldiers were still practicing, a dark mass of people that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see.

Seeing this, Jiang Jingxuan's eyes were filled with excitement.

These are the 30,000 soldiers and armored troops that the Jiang family left in the capital!

After today... all these people will obey his orders!

"Whoa!"

As Zhang Xinnian pulled the reins, the carriage came to a steady stop beside the training ground.

Jiang Jingxuan stepped down from the carriage, first straightening his robes, then looked at Zhang Xinnian and said, "Go!"

"Summon all the soldiers of our Jiang family!"

"yes!"

Zhang Xinnian nodded respectfully, turned around, and quickly left.

Jiang Jingxuan watched Zhang Xinnian's retreating figure with satisfaction on his face, then strode off alone to the highest platform in the martial arts arena.

Standing here, you can take in the entire huge training ground below.

Jiang Jingxuan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Not long after, the sound of orderly footsteps came from different directions.

Boom! Boom!

Large numbers of soldiers clad in black armor, led by centurions and commanders, continued to converge on the training ground.

One after another.

The ground trembled slightly as each footstep landed.

Dust billowed up, and the black armor gleamed coldly in the morning light.

Before long, the entire training ground was filled with a large number of soldiers and armor.

The people in front stood ramrod straight, while those behind continued to enter.

That dark mass looked incredibly imposing.

Jiang Jingxuan stood on the high platform, looking at the soldiers gathering below, and his breathing became heavier.

Thirty thousand!

That's a full 30,000 soldiers!

Moreover, this is only the capital. Once he extends his reach to the northern border and truly takes control of the 800,000-strong army, who in the world will dare to underestimate Jiang Jingxuan?

Just as Jiang Jingxuan was filled with excitement, Zhang Xinnian walked onto the martial arts stage from the side.

"Third Master!"

Zhang Xinnian approached Jiang Jingxuan respectfully and said, "All the soldiers and officers of our Marquis's mansion in the capital have gathered!"

"Please, Third Master... say a few words!"

"Um!"

Jiang Jingxuan nodded, took two steps forward, and came to the very front of the martial arts stage: "Among you all, some may know me, and some... may only have heard my name!"

"My name is Jiang Jingxuan, the third son of the Jiang family, and the younger brother of Marquis Zhenbei, Jiang Jingcheng!"

At this point, Jiang Jingxuan paused slightly: "Ten years ago, everyone thought I had died in the Northern Border!"

"But God allowed me to survive, and allowed me to return to the Jiang family today!"

"My second brother has been framed and is temporarily detained by His Majesty. The Marquis of Zhenbei's residence cannot be left unmanaged for even a day!"

"Therefore, His Majesty personally issued an edict appointing me to temporarily take over the Marquis's residence!"

"I know that many of you have followed my second brother for many years and are utterly loyal to him!"

"I'm very pleased about that!"

Jiang Jingxuan's expression turned serious as he said this: "Because I, like you, believe that my second brother would not collude with the enemy!"

"I stand here today not to take what belongs to him, nor to have you turn your backs on him!"

"But before the truth is revealed, we must protect the Jiang family, the barracks, and you all!"

"Once my second brother is exonerated, I, Jiang Jingxuan, will personally welcome him back!"

"But before that..."

Jiang Jingxuan's voice grew louder: "The Zhenbei Marquis's residence must not be in disarray, and the morale of the army must not be thrown into chaos!"

"You only need to obey my orders and guard the places the Jiang family is responsible for guarding!"

"I, Jiang Jingxuan, hereby guarantee that as long as I live, I will not mistreat anyone who has shed blood for the Jiang family!"

He had been studying these words for half a month.

There was loyalty and righteousness among them, and he didn't believe these soldiers wouldn't be mobilized.

But after he finished speaking, the training ground remained quiet.

Jiang Jingxuan was quite surprised by this.

Could it be that these people don't want to acknowledge him?

But just then, a series of unified voices suddenly rang out.

"We swear to serve Third Master to the death!"

"We swear to serve Third Master to the death!"

Thirty thousand soldiers shouted at the same time, their voices shaking the entire camp.

Jiang Jingxuan was visibly stunned for a moment, and an overwhelming excitement appeared on his face.

Indeed, these words are sufficient.

He had just been thinking that if that didn't work, he would resort to threats, bribes, or even making an example of someone.

But right now... it seems unnecessary.

Looking at the soldiers below who were respectfully looking at him, Jiang Jingxuan's smile grew more and more genuine.

It seems that his title as the Third Master of the Jiang Family has not been completely forgotten!

Just then, Zhang Xinnian suddenly walked up from the side.

"Third Master, the situation at court is unstable, and His Majesty is putting increasing pressure on the Jiang family!"

Zhang Xinnian looked respectfully at Jiang Jingxuan and said, "How about... we rebel directly, elect you, Third Master, as emperor?"

Ok?

Jiang Jingxuan's eyes widened instantly, staring at Zhang Xinnian in shock.

What is that?

rebel?

They even recommended him to become emperor?!

Before Jiang Jingxuan could react, Zhang Xinnian had already turned around, facing the 30,000 soldiers below, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Brothers!"

"Third Master has decided to rebel; how about we elect him as emperor today!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the entire training ground fell silent for a moment, and then an even louder sound erupted instantly.

"Let the Third Master be proclaimed Emperor!"

"Let the Third Master be proclaimed Emperor!"

"Let the Third Master be crowned Emperor..."
