Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 38

Chapter 38 The Storm Rose Abruptly
“Pass on the order. All the officers and soldiers of the entire battalion, watch the execution of the law today.” After Qin Mubai gave the order, he turned around and clenched his fist at Chang Sun Huan. “Welcome to the Hundred Cavalry Stage, General Chang Sun. Today’s law enforcement will be presided over by you, the newly appointed deputy envoy of the Hundred Cavalry Stage!”

“…” Changsun Huan clenched his teeth and stared blankly for ten seconds. He forced out a smile and cupped his fists, saying, “This subordinate accepts the order.”

The order has been passed down. The entire battalion of more than 600 adjuvant officers and soldiers neatly stood on the field. Yuchi Baoyun was stripped of his gorgeous bright light armor and beautiful robes. He was pressed down on the torture chair and gritted his teeth angrily, waiting for his butt to be beaten.

“Your Majesty is benevolent. He ordered you not to spank your back with your staff. Instead, spank your butt.” Qin Mubai crossed his elbows and smiled. “Your Majesty did the right thing. A naughty guy should be spanked.”

Li Junxian got closer and smiled bitterly, “Mubai, didn’t you say in public that you wouldn’t do anything like’kill chickens and set an example for monkeys’? Today, this is …”

“Just talking, why take it seriously?” Qin Mubai chuckled.

Li Junxian was speechless.

Like a stiff puppet, Changsun Hua sat on the main stage. He picked up the signature and was stunned for a long time, then gritted his teeth and threw it down, “Fight!”

“Tsk tsk, you really have done us justice.” Qin Mubai shook his head repeatedly.

Li Junxian was speechless. He sighed and whispered, “Mubai, you have to think of the consequences.”

“What will happen?” Qin Mubai sneered, “If I can’t even suppress my subordinates and someone violates the military rules but I don’t punish them, then the consequences will be serious.”

“Didn’t you use this as an excuse to play and pretend to be foolish afterwards?” Li Junxian said, “No matter what, she is also Yuchi Jingde’s son. Even the emperor will find a way to think clearly before issuing orders. Furthermore, you have also given Changsun Huan a great embarrassment … Once this beam is tied, it will not be beneficial to you in the future.”

“There are some things that cannot be avoided.” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “If I don’t cause them any trouble, they will take the initiative to provoke me. It’s better to take action first than to endure it passively. What do you think?”

“… You’re ruthless!” Li Junxian sighed again, “Who did you offend? You actually offended Eldest Sun Wuji and Yuchi Jingde. From now on, you must beg for your own fortune!”

“Soldiers are here to cover up the water and earth, that’s all.” Qin Mubai’s face was bright with sunlight, and he smiled calmly.

“Hack, horn, horn!” Amidst the loud sound of spanking, Yuchi Baoyun gritted his teeth and endured it at first, but then let out a pig-like scream. When did a young master of the Shi Clan like him suffer such a humiliating crime? His ability to endure pain was even worse than an ordinary person’s.

Blood burst out from Yuchi Baoyun’s buttocks and his flesh was torn apart, shocking to the eye. The onlookers would occasionally exclaim in shock, and there would be even more private discussions. Now, everyone knew that Qin Mubai was fighting against Yuchi Baoyun, who was a member of the Chuangya Clan and a sentry. This Yuchi Baoyun was also the dignified deputy envoy of Baiji, the third young master of the Yuchi Jingde Clan.

Qin Qiong’s son beat Yuchi Jingde’s son, this matter became even more interesting.

At the same time, Qin Mubai’s enforcement of the law was as unselfish as a mountain. Moreover, his actions were extremely ruthless, and he had grown taller and taller in the hearts of every Hundred Cavalry. Apart from being afraid, everyone also had a hint of respect and confidence towards him.

Sitting on the stage, Eldest Sun Huan’s face turned red and white. Seeing his good friend Yuchi Baoyun being severely beaten, it was as if the stick had landed on his face. He clenched his teeth and endured for a while. He walked over to Qin Mubai and cupped his fists. “General Qin, we can’t fight anymore. If we continue fighting, we will definitely be crippled. When Baiji is building a new company, his subordinate is willing to invite General Qin to send the remaining batons temporarily for the sake of his comrades. We will discuss it in the future.”

“Alright.” Qin Mubai smiled and nodded at Chang Sun Huan. “General Chang Sun, you must give me face. Then stop! How many batons do you have left? If you commit any more crimes in the future, you will be punished together.”

“Thank you, General Qin!” Changsun Huan hurriedly went forward to stop him. Picking Yuchi Baoyun up, he almost fainted, so he could only ask someone to carry him away first and order the medical officer to treat him.

“He attacked too heavily … He only had twenty or so sticks, and he was beaten to such a miserable state.” Li Junxian had been in the army for so many years, so how could he not see any clues? Tsk tsk, he shook his head and whispered, “Mubai, you’re really ruthless! These two little soldiers are your trusted aides …”

“No way. Everyone is from the Hundred Cavalry. How can there be a difference between us? They are unselfish and impartial in their enforcement of the law.” Qin Mubai smiled and strode away.

“Hey, trouble is coming!” Looking at Qin Mubai’s back, Li Junxian shook her head and sighed, “Eldest Sun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde, how can you be easily provoked? If this breaks out … I’m afraid there will be no peace in Baiji’s army ever again! Qin Mubai, ah, Qin Mubai, you are truly a newborn calf, you dare to provoke anyone! Look, I’ll see how you end up stepping down!”

After the liveliness was over, everyone dispersed to do their own things.

Qin Mubai went to the doctor’s office alone to visit the’knocked unconscious’ soldier.

The others retreated. Before Qin Mubai could speak, the little soldier stood up and bowed to Qin Mubai, “How dare I trouble the general?”

“Get up.” Qin Mubai smiled and patted him on the shoulder. “If I remember correctly, your name is Pang Fei. The Shandong family is from the same place as the Qin family.”

“General, you really have a good memory. I also remember such a small person.” Pang Fei hurriedly nodded his head in flattery. “To tell you the truth, this lowly man’s father was a captain. He died on the battlefield under your father, General Qin Shubao. My father told me that General Qin Shubao is one of the best heroes in the world since he was young. It’s like meeting General Qin Shubao when I meet you!”

“So there is such a source.” Qin Mubai nodded and smiled, “You’re not bad. You’re quick-witted and quick-witted. Work hard and have a bright future.”

“General Qin, I have a reluctant request.” Pang Fei suddenly fell to his knees.

“If you have something to say, why bother kneeling?” Qin Mubai wanted to pull him up.

“No … General, please listen to me first.” Pang Fei hurriedly said, “This lowly man’s father admires General Qin Shubao and vows to follow him to his death. This lowly man admires you and is willing to take you as his master. As long as the general does not dislike you, this lowly man will be willing to take the horse pendant as a slave for you in the future, just like my father followed General Qin Shubao in the past.”

“This” Qin Mubai thought for a moment and smiled. “If I don’t agree to it, wouldn’t it be too unreasonable?”

“General … Master, you, you agreed?” Pang Fei was overjoyed and stunned for a moment.

“Isn’t this nonsense?” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “However, in the future, you can’t be called my master and disciple in public.”

“Disciple, thank you, Master!” Pang Fei was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly.

“Alright, get up.” Qin Mubai pulled him up from the ground and said with a smile, “Pretend to be sick and lie down for a few more days. I will have the medical officer serve you with delicious food and drink.”

“Don’t worry, Master. This disciple will save you.” Pang Fei laughed happily. “Yuchi Baoyun’s martial arts skills are only so good. I could have dodged an elbow, but I deliberately received a blow from him. I was beaten up by someone from childhood to adulthood, and it’s like scratching my boots. If I don’t need Master’s instructions when necessary, I can smash my head.”

“Very good.” Qin Mubai patted his shoulder and laughed, “I like smart people.”

Bad news has wings. The news of Qin Mubai beating Yuchi Baoyun in the Hundred Cavalry Camp quickly spread.

Li Shimin naturally learned the news very quickly.

Li Shimin knitted his eyebrows and softly chanted, “This fellow really dares to make a move and beat Yuchi Baoyun up …”

“Your Majesty, although Qin Mubai’s actions are reasonable, but … from the perspective of human sophistication, he shouldn’t have done this.” Li Junxian said, “First, Changsun Huan and Yuchi Baoyun are his subordinates, and they will have to rely on them in the future. Second, Changsun Wuji and Yuchi Jingde …”

“What about them? Do they still dare to take revenge on us?” Li Shimin said calmly, “Qin Mubai enforced the law impartially and did nothing wrong.” Yuchi Baoyun and the others are full of arrogance. How can such a person be at my side? If not for Qin Mubai’s judgement, I would have kicked Yuchi Baoyun out of Baiji. As a long history, you are in charge of law enforcement and law enforcement, and it is your duty to assist Qin Mubai in commanding Baiji. Do you still think that Qin Mubai did something wrong? “There is no distinction between right and wrong!”

“Uh … His Majesty has taught me a lesson. This lowly official knows his mistake.” Li Junxian was speechless and embarrassed, so he could only whisper obediently.

“Tell Changsun Huan and Yuchi Baoyun what I said just now.” Li Shimin said solemnly, “Let them understand one thing. The palace is not their own mansion; the Baiji Camp is not their backyard. Since they have joined the army, they should behave like soldiers. The laws and regulations are strict, and they cannot be dandy like they used to be.”

“Yes, this lowly official will immediately send a decree.” Li Junxian replied and prepared to retreat.

“Bring Qin Mubai here by the way.”

“Yes …”

Li Junxian came to the Hundred Cavalry Camp nervously. He was thinking about how to send a message to Changsun Huan and the others and bumped into Qin Mubai head-on.

“General Li, why are you so worried?” Qin Mubai asked.

“Your Majesty wants you to see me.” Li Junxian threw down this sentence and turned around to leave. He cursed in his heart, “Brat, it’s really bad luck to work with you!” Let me report something. The Emperor even scolded me! In the future, it’s better if I don’t get too close to you. Maybe I’ll get into some bad luck again!

Qin Mubai looked at Li Junxian who had left in a hurry and wanted to laugh. I beat Yuchi Baoyun so hard that I dragged him into the water. He must have been scolded by the Emperor!

After adjusting his clothes, Qin Mubai went to see the Emperor.
