Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 219
Chapter 219 Declare War
After being mocked by Qin Mubai in public, Du Chengyuan’s expression obviously changed. He was very embarrassed. He forced a smile on his face and whispered, “General Qin, please forgive me. This lowly position has never been good at words. If there is any offense in your words, this lowly position will apologize to you.”
“That’s fine.” Qin Mubai waved his hand and said, “However, this Feng Daoshi has no military discipline and openly insulted Shangguan Gather to rebel in the barracks. What should we do about it?”
“This” Du Chengyuan frowned in embarrassment. He rolled his eyes and said, “There are many people here. Why don’t we discuss it privately?”
“Consultation?” Qin Mubai made a stunned expression and said, “Do you think that you are buying small dishes in the vegetable market? Do you still want to bargain with the buyer and seller? Someone, first kidnap this undisciplined thief Feng Daocha!”
“Yes!”
A few Baiji rushed forward and dragged Feng Knife Scar from the ground like a dead pig, binding him tightly.
There were still one or two hundred water army onlookers present, and Du Chengyuan’s expression became even uglier.
“General Qin … you should at least give this lowly position some face in front of all the brothers, right?” Du Chengyuan whispered, “Everyone knows that Feng Daoscar is my brother-in-law. If he commits an offence, I will definitely reprimand him. After returning, I will also strictly discipline him to ensure that he will never commit another offence in the future.”
“General du, this will also trouble you to figure out one thing. Feng Knife Scar was violating the military rules now, not just offending someone as simple as him. If we do not obey the law, how can we convince the crowd? In the future, what are we going to use to restrain the army? Feng Daoscar is your brother-in-law. This has nothing to do with him being punished for breaking the military rules. Don’t worry, I will deal with him openly and openly according to the military rules. I will give you an explanation. ”
After saying that, Qin Mubai raised the corner of his mouth and smiled coldly. He patted his chest and said, “See you later.”
With Pang Fei and the hundred cavalry, Qin Mubai and the others left with Feng Daosha and Qin Mubai tied up.
Du Chengyuan’s face was already pale, his teeth clenched to the bone, his eyes narrowed, and killing intent burst forth.
Zhao Chong stood there, feeling that his left and right sides weren’t human, which was the most embarrassing. “General Du, please calm down. I believe that Qin Mubai is just a new official who wants to show off in front of everyone. He will definitely not do anything to Feng Dao Scar,” he whispered to Du Chengyuan.
“Pa–”
Du Chengyuan suddenly exploded. He fiercely waved his hand and slapped Zhao Chong’s big mouth. He gritted his teeth and shouted, “You’re eating inside and outside!”
The surrounding soldiers cried out in alarm and immediately spread out in a big circle. It could be seen that they were extremely afraid of Du Chengyuan.
“I, what did I do?” Zhao Chong was both shocked and angry. He rubbed his face and stared at Du Chengyuan with wide eyes.
“Scram–” Du Chengyuan waved his hand and shouted loudly. The surrounding soldiers immediately scattered and ran away.
“Do you think I don’t know what you’ve done?” Du Chengyuan walked up to Zhao Chong and lifted his chest to stare at him. “You joined him the moment Qin Mubai arrived. Didn’t he invite you to the inn for a meeting last time? What did you say to him in private?” He gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
“I didn’t say anything!” Zhao Chong said unwillingly, “What am I going to say to him? I didn’t submit to him!”
“Still arguing!” Du Chengyuan harshly scolded, “You were helping him deal with Feng Daoscar just now. Otherwise, how could things have gone this far?”
“I didn’t!” Zhao Chong hurriedly said, “Feng Knife Scar ignored the military rules and secretly brought people out to whore, that’s all.” After returning, he had to organize a fight between one or two hundred people … If this matter really started, the commotion would be really big. When Qin Mubai’s new official took office, he was waiting to catch a few guys who were in their early stages and kill Li Wei. Wouldn’t that be even more troublesome? Actually, I really did it for his own good. I was afraid that he would cause trouble! ‘”I didn’t expect that Qin Mubai would come to the barracks tonight and directly alert him!” “I didn’t expect that he would treat my kindness as a donkey’s liver and lungs and insult me in front of everyone!” “I didn’t expect that Qin Mubai would come to the barracks this evening and directly alert him!”
Du Chengyuan glared at Zhao Chong angrily and rolled his eyes. Only then did he let go of his grip. His expression calmed down and he patted his chest gently. “Alright, I wronged you,” he said kindly. Remember, we are the people on the same boat. Qin Mubai wants to crash our boat and destroy us all. At this time, we must unite with the outside world and not be careless! ”
“Yes, I remember.” Zhao Chong lowered his head and gently gritted his teeth as he replied.
Du Chengyuan let out a long sigh and snorted, “Feng Daoscar is just a pitiful scapegoat. Actually, he is fighting me … Alright, I want to see what he wants to do.”
Zhao Chong couldn’t help but reach out and touch his fiery cheeks. He looked around. Although there was no one around, he could feel countless pairs of eyes staring at him, mocking and mocking him for being inferior to a dog in front of Du Chengyuan.
“Go, call your brothers over even tonight. Let’s discuss this first!” Du Chengyuan gave the order.
“Yes” Zhao Chong clasped his fists and bowed helplessly before leaving.
In the commander’s tent.
“Your surname is Qin, you abused your power to avenge yourself!” Outside the tent, Feng Knife Scar was still clamoring.
A guard angrily tossed Feng Knife Scar into the tent. Feng Scar staggered a few steps under his tightly tied feet. Another guard stepped forward and pulled him down. He grabbed his hair and pressed it down. His knees were straight in the middle of his chest. Feng Knife Scar lifted his head and collapsed. His enormous body landed on the ground like a collapsed concrete wall. He immediately curled up into a ball and did not hum. He let out more air and less air. He rolled his eyes and twitched. It was obvious that he had been pushed out of his breath.
“Cut off this thief’s shrewd bird head!” The guards roared angrily.
No wonder everyone was so angry. Even in Chang’an, under the feet of the Son of Heaven, even in a place like the imperial palace, no one dared to publicly insult any Hundred Cavalry Soldier, let alone Qin Mubai!
“Stop! We can’t kill him now!” Qin Mubai shouted softly, and the guards snorted coldly, their rage still lingering, and they separated to the side.
Qin Mubai sat down on the spacious handsome chair and looked sideways at Feng Dao Sha, who was lying on the ground, groaning and twitching. “Throw this ruffian into the prison first so he can keep an eye on him alive,” he said.
“Yes.” The guards dragged Feng Scar and wiped the ground before leaving the tent.
“General, although this thief is hateful, he is merely relying on Du Chengyuan to be arrogant.” Pang Fei said, “As the saying goes, you beat the dog and bully the master. If you capture him in public today, I’m sure Du Chengyuan must be angry from embarrassment.”
“I did it on purpose.” Qin Mubai said coldly, “I just want to see what happens when he gets angry.”
Pang Fei knitted his brows and said, “I will stay in the barracks for a few days. I feel that this is his world.” I inquired privately and learned that the Xiang Province Military Manor has changed four or five commandants in the past three years. Only he, Du Chengyuan, has never changed. It was said that the previous Commandant Zhechong had been slapped in the face by Du Chengyuan because of his disagreement with him, so he said that he had never been to the barracks again, and that he had invited himself to leave shortly after. This fellow has a habit of slapping people. Anyone who offends him will be tied up by him and his face will be swollen until his teeth fall out. ”
Qin Mubai rubbed his chin with one hand and smiled, “That’s an interesting hobby. What would he think if I slapped him like that?”
“He will not hesitate to gather a crowd to force the palace to rebel against you!” Pang Fei said decisively, “At least eighty percent of the military academies in this military mansion are his trusted aides. Let’s say Zhao Chong. He used to be a Night Fragrance Princess in Xiangyang City. Because of his good water quality and a bit of courage, he took him to the military camp and became a mercenary. He was promoted to a captain overnight. He has been working for three to four years.”
“Does that mean that he really has the final say in the Xiang Prefecture’s military manor?” Qin Mubai frowned and said, “Is the Zhongjun Yue Cavalry his men?”
‘”Yes. The Yue Cavalry team is Ma Lirong. He was once a bandit from the Green Forest. It is said that his kung fu is extraordinary. After being arrested and imprisoned a few years ago, Du Chengyuan bought him out as a trusted aide and used him as a bodyguard for a long time. Two years ago, he was placed in the barracks and joined the Yue Cavalry team. Half a year ago, he achieved the team’s integrity.” Pang Fei said as if he had counted all the treasures in his family. “The others, such as Changshi, Sima, and Ge Cao, are mostly his men. In the Xiang Province’s military manor, they are simply those who follow the others and perish against them.”
“Heh! I didn’t expect this seemingly gentle fellow to have some ability.” Qin Mubai sneered, “In that case, aren’t we isolated?”
“According to the current situation, only these Baiji brothers from Chang’an can be trusted and relied on.” Pang Fei said.
Qin Mubai placed her right hand on the table. Her index finger and middle finger tapped the table rhythmically, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.
“Master seems to already have a brilliant plan to deal with him?” Pang Fei asked.
“As the saying goes, a rookie takes on three fires. My fire is to capture a thief, capture a king, and destroy his prestige as Du Chengyuan, so as to build up my own benevolence and prestige.” Qin Mubai said, “The Xiang Province’s military mansion has changed its commandants one after another. Obviously, they were forced away because of their discord with Du Chengyuan.” Oh, others are afraid of him, but I may not. Wasn’t it because he came from the Du Clan of Chang’an and had a strong relationship with Wei Taochen and the others in the mainland of Xiangzhou that he had a huge influence? This time, I won’t play any tricks anymore and will directly face him head-on. I would like to see, even if offended changan du, so what? Even if I slap Du Chengyuan in the face in front of everyone, what would he do? ”
“That’s right!” Pang Fei’s eyebrows immediately lit up as he said, “The Chang’an Du Clan is indeed a noble clan. Ordinary people respect them, but no one dares to provoke them.” But isn’t Du Ruhui’s son, Prince Consort Du He, an indispensable role under the Wei King? When he saw his master, he had to be polite, because his master was personally invited by the Wei King, and he did not invite the Great Lord over. Besides, even if Du Chengyuan really jumps over the wall and gathers people to commit a martial rebellion, even though we are small, we might not be afraid of their mob! ”
“This is called suppressing Hundred Coincidences with one force.” The corner of Qin Mubai’s mouth twitched as he smiled coldly, “I’ll let him have a thousand tricks and tricks. This time, I’ll definitely eat him to death! Tomorrow, the public trial of Feng Knife Scar’s conviction and execution will be known by then!”
“That’s great!” Pang Fei was overjoyed and said excitedly, “I’ve been in Xiangzhou for so long, so many grievances have happened! I can finally vent my grievances!”
The next morning.
The drum of the Zhongjun army sounded a stick of incense earlier than usual, and the rumbling sound caused the entire barracks to tremble.
Normally, soldiers who were accustomed to sleeping late were woken up by the shock. They all stood up cursing and slowly put on their military uniforms to lift their weapons. They ran to the main school grounds. Everyone whispered to each other that the new Commandant Zhechong had finally come to take up his post and was personally presiding over the morning training today. Only then did the soldiers gather a bit of energy and quickly gather at the school grounds.
Qin Mubai put on the golden helmet and wore a treasured saber. Behind him was the glaring Qilin battle robe. He stood majestically on the podium and watched as more than a thousand soldiers gathered below.
Du Chengyuan and the upper and lower generals of the Military Manor arrived. They stood behind Qin Mubai on the Dianjiang Stage and stood with their hands lowered. Everyone exchanged glances from time to time, and their hearts were filled with trepidation and apprehension.
The three-way drum was over, and a bugle horn soared into the sky.
“Kill–”
The entire army shouted in unison and raised their guns in front of them. The armor and spear halberd were as cold as frost, and the entire arena was silent.
The bugle horn was extinguished, and the army gathering was completed.
Qin Mubai cut her hands and looked around. More than a thousand people looked at him and looked at each other.
Not a single person spoke. Everyone’s breathing seemed to have merged with the gentle morning breeze, causing the flags on the dianjiang platform to gently fly.
“I, Qin Mubai, will be your general from today onwards!” Qin Mubai suddenly shouted in anger, shocking many people behind him.
“From today onwards, there are only two things that all the soldiers of the Xiang Province need to do.” Qin Mubai shouted, “First, obey the military rules and obey orders. Second, obey my orders!”
A few loud shouts shook Du Chengyuan and the others behind him and they couldn’t help but take a few breaths of cold air. This person must have some inner martial arts cultivation!
“After I finish speaking, if anyone objects, stand up.”
Qin Mubai dropped this sentence, causing the entire place to be completely silent. Most of the generals behind him were holding their breaths and concentrating. They raised their hearts to their throats and thought at the same time, “War is about to begin, war is about to begin!” Qin Mubai was clearly declaring war on Du Chengyuan!
