From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 168

With dozens of boards, even a strong soldier would be beaten to death. Fortunately, Guan Dayong knew the severity of the blows and hit Cao Ning hard at first, only stopping when Cao Ning fainted.

The people below held their breath, worried and frightened, and watched Zhou Yuan beat Cao Ning to the point of crying for his parents, and finally there was no movement.

After the beatings, the sound of horse hooves and roars came from outside the alley. Hundreds of people dismounted, all wearing armor and swords, and rushed here.

"Lord Cao's army is coming!"

"Come to rescue people!"

"Idiot, what do you mean by rescue? Come to take revenge!"

The people below began to panic and talked to each other, and the team gradually dispersed.

After all, the hundreds of armored soldiers gave people a great sense of oppression, which was not comparable to the civilian soldiers of the North City Army.

"What are you panicking about!"

Zhou Yuan used all his internal strength and suddenly shouted: "As a soldier! As a soldier of the North City Military Department, how can you sit back and watch a thief break into this place!"

"Whoever dares to take a step back, just pack up and leave. I don't keep useless people in the North City Military Department!"

These two sentences gave the people below some confidence. After all, there are tall people to support the sky when it falls, so what does it have to do with these people below.

Zhou Yuan said in a serious tone: "Where is the governor! Send someone to take Cao Ning to the prison, and wait for his family to send a fine before releasing him."

"Yes... yes..."

The middle-aged governor was sweating profusely. He looked at Guan Dayong's huge body and was afraid of him like a tiger. He dared not disobey his orders.

So the four people went on stage and carried the half-dead Cao Ning away.

"Stop right there!"

The sturdy man surnamed Wu finally rode up on horseback and rushed directly into the square, shouting, "You dog official! How dare you hit my young master! Are you looking for death!"

Zhou Yuan did not answer, but looked at him coldly, saying word by word, "The North City Military Command is an important military base in the capital, no one is allowed to enter without permission. You come here in armor and holding knives, it seems that you want to rebel against the will of heaven."

The sturdy man angrily said, "Everyone knows who we are! You dare to pretend to be confused, do you think pretending to be confused will work! "

Zhou Yuan waved his sleeves and said angrily: "Where is the clerk of the North City Military Department! Since there is no deputy commander, there should be a clerk! If you don't stand up within ten breaths, it will be regarded as resignation! I will re-promote the clerk. "

When it comes to the black gauze hat on their heads, the four clerks stood up immediately and shouted: "See the commander!"

Zhou Yuan said coldly: "There are thieves wearing armor and holding knives who break into the North City Military Department and commit treasonous things. What should be done!"

No one dared to answer this sentence.

Zhou Yuan did not give them a chance to protect themselves, but shouted: "Arrange the team immediately! Arrest all these more than a hundred traitors. If there are any resistance, kill them on the spot!"

"Action now!"

His voice was like thunder, shaking everyone present. How dare the clerks disobey orders at this moment, but the other party is from the Fifth Army Camp!

One of the clerks couldn't help but say, "Commander, the other side is the soldiers of the Beijing camp!"

"How dare you!"

Zhou Yuan was furious and said, "The soldiers of the Beijing camp are stationed outside the city, mostly in Xuanfu, Tongzhou and other places. How can they appear in the inner city? These people must be fakes. Arrest them immediately. If something goes wrong, I will take care of it. What are you afraid of!"

"Look at you, a bunch of timid softies. Others have come to your door, but you dare not fight back. Are you all squatting to urinate?"

This sentence completely aroused the blood of everyone. They were all soldiers and were usually bullied by Cao Ning. Now they finally have someone in charge. How can they bear it?

"Fight them! They are going too far!"

"These bastards have been showing off their power for several years. I can't stand it anymore. I'll follow Lord Zhou to fight!"

"Yes, I've been frustrated enough. I'll fight them today even if I risk my life!"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhou Yuan shouted, "Guan Dayong, you will be the temporary vanguard of the North City Army and Horse Division. Lead the soldiers to wipe out these rebels!"

"Yes!"

Guan Dayong jumped off the stage with a Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, rushing towards the crowd like a god of war.

He let out a loud roar, which was like a storm. With a height of more than two meters and a body like an iron tower, he had the momentum of ten thousand people. More than a hundred people were frightened and kept retreating.

Behind Guan Dayong, more than two thousand soldiers of the North City Army and Horse Division were also ignited. They felt their blood boiling and followed Guan Dayong to kill.

"Not good! Sir! There are too many of them!"

A soldier shouted.

The strong man also looked anxious and said quickly: "Retreat! Retreat quickly! The personal soldiers go to report to the Lord! Go quickly!"

The two personal soldiers rode away on horseback, and the remaining more than 100 people were in a mess, constantly running for their lives, but there were still more than a dozen peoplewas left behind.

Guan Dayong didn't care about that, and smashed the man into a pulp with a few halberds.

The blood aroused people's anger, and the people from the Fifth Army Camp didn't dare to show off, and retreated while cursing.

Guan Dayong led his people to continue forward, and finally drove the more than 100 people out of Bingmasi Hutong.

The strong man saw the corpses all over the ground, his eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't help but roared: "Bastard! You're in big trouble! Kill the people from the Fifth Army Camp!"

"You're dead, no one can save you!"

Zhou Yuan said coldly: "Brothers, retreat, guard the gate of the alley, whoever dares to trespass will be killed."

"Yes!"

Many soldiers roared, their faces flushed, and they were panting.

It's rare for them to vent like this. Today, they have released all the years of frustration and anger. Now they are only excited and excited.

Soon, a middle-aged man in military uniform came on horseback. When he saw the strong man, his face darkened and he said in a serious tone: "What's going on? You can't even handle this!"

The strong man half-knelt down and gritted his teeth and said: "General, the new commander-in-chief has gone too far. Not only did he beat the young master with sixty boards, he also killed more than a dozen of us."

"What!"

The middle-aged man's face changed drastically, and he rode forward quickly, angrily saying: "Get out of the way!"

Many soldiers knew this official uniform and dared not answer.

Guan Dayong smiled and said: "Any unidentified person who trespasses into the North City Military Department will be treated as a traitor and killed without mercy."

"Bullshit!"

The middle-aged man roared: "Your grandfather is the left-wing governor of the Five Army Camp!"

The Five Army Camp is divided into five parts: the Central Army, the Left Sentry, the Right Sentry, the Left-wing, and the Right-wing. All of them have governors and deputy governors, and the governor of the Central Army is the head.

Yong'an Bo Cao Ye is the Grand Commander of the Central Army, also known as the Left Commander of the Central Army, and the head of the entire Five Army Camp.

"So he is an official. Wait, I'll report to him."

This sentence made the Left Ye Commander very angry. When did he come to this broken place and wait for notification?

He is the Commander of the North City Military Division, but he is only a fifth-rank military officer. I am the Left Ye Commander of the Five Army Camp, but I am a third-rank military officer! There is a difference of several levels!

When Zhou Yuan heard that it was the Left Ye Commander who came, he slowly walked to the entrance of the alley.

He bowed and said, "Zhou Yuan, the commander of the North City Military Department, greets Lord Zhang Xiang, the governor of the left wing of the Five Military Camps!"

Zhang Xiang was furious and said, "You still know that I am a master! I am a third-rank military officer, and I still need to report. New southerner, do you know the rules?"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Lord Zhang, calm down. Zhou Yuan is from the south. He is new here and does not know the rules."

"However, there were thieves who were rioting just now, wearing armor and holding knives, trying to attack the imperial court's military base, so Zhou Yuan was more Be prepared. "

Zhang Xiang glared and said, "What did you say? Thieves are making trouble? You are a thief! How dare you play tricks in front of me? You are using the tricks of scholars on me, right?"

Zhou Yuan said, "Sir Zhang, is it possible that what I said is wrong?"

Zhang Xiang said sternly, "You beat Cao Ning with a stick, and you dare to kill the soldiers of my Fifth Army Camp. If I don't chop off your head today, how can I lead the army in the future!"

The soldiers were also frightened and pale, and retreated one after another.

Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes and smiled, saying softly: "As the deputy commander, Cao Ning violated the court law and should be beaten. If you are not satisfied, just report it to the emperor."

"Killing the soldiers of the Fifth Army Camp is a serious crime. I don't admit it. I just killed a thief."

Zhang Xiang jumped off his horse and said coldly: "You said it was a thief?"

Zhou Yuan said: "Of course it is a thief. Can it be a soldier of the Fifth Army Camp? As part of the Beijing Camp, they left the team privately without receiving the Holy Call and entered the inner city of Shenjing. This is a capital crime!"

"Are they really soldiers of the Fifth Army Camp?"

"If so, I will report it to the Ministry of War and ask the Minister to convey it to the emperor. At that time, I will ask Lord Zhang to testify. After all, you have made a contribution by reporting it!"

Zhang Xiang's eyelids twitched when he heard it, and he subconsciously stepped back a few steps, and broke out in a cold sweat.
