Mr. Bodyguard Novel - Chapter 627
Chapter 627 Reorganize The Army!
Xiahou Baili’s carriage had already left, but he still left a group of people for Jiang Feng. There were a total of thirteen people in this group. Judging from the armor patterns, they should also be the generals of the Yuan Palace Pass garrison.
Jiang Feng glanced at the thirteen people. The thirteen people immediately got off their dragon hoofed horses and bowed to Jiang Feng, “This subordinate greets the general.”
Jiang Feng nodded and opened the appointment document that Xiahou Baili had given him.
The contents were very simple. Raising his head, he read “Military Affairs Office of the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty Military Ministry”. The contents were as follows: “On the orders of the Immortal Emperor, Jiang Feng was named Grand General of Pingnan and commanded all the troops of the Yuan Palace Pass.”
Below was the Divine Will Grand Seal of the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty Military Ministry. Whether this appointment document was true or false, one only needed to scan the Grand Seal with one’s will to be able to clearly perceive it.
Among the thirteen people left behind by Xiahou Baili, the leader walked to Jiang Feng’s side and whispered, “General, subordinate Tie Xiong. May I ask General, should we go into the barracks and beat the drums now?”
Jiang Feng thought for a moment before nodding his head. He used his will to inform the Thirteen Wind Slaves who were with Jiang Tianliu and the others and told them to come to the barracks immediately. After notifying Slave Thirteen, Jiang Feng and Tie Xiong walked towards the barracks together.
In front of the barracks was a “superintendent’s yamen.” Jiang Feng couldn’t help but guess in his heart. Does this superintendent’s office have anything to do with the “Yuwen superintendent” that Young Master Curie had called over to help him with?
Jiang Feng guessed that he did. It was even possible that the so-called “Yuwen Supervisor” was the former master of this superintendent’s army of 100,000 troops. However, Jiang Feng did not have the mood to pay attention to this. In any case, the soldiers came to block it, while the water came and the earth covered it.
Walking into the superintendent’s office, he saw that the main hall was empty, not even a guard. Jiang Feng looked at Tie Xiong and asked with some uncertainty, “Isn’t this the time to be on duty?”
Tie Xiong frowned as he looked around and said, “No, it’s time to be on duty. Let’s go! Let’s go to the backyard and take a look.”
The backyard of the superintendent’s office was the place where the officers usually trained and rested. Therefore, the layout of the backyard was very simple and clear. It was a very spacious training field and a three-row, two-story house. The first floor of the house was where the officers rested, as well as the storeroom for all their weapons and armor. The second floor was where the officers rested.
As soon as Jiang Feng and Tie Xiong entered the backyard, they saw that there were indeed many soldiers dressed in captain uniforms on the playground. Some of them were gathered together to chat, some were gathered together to gamble, and some were even eating and drinking wine and meat. Laughter from women and laughter from men could be heard from the house beside the playground. It was not difficult to guess what they were doing.
“This is outrageous!” Tie Xiong had followed Xiahou Baili for many years, but he had never seen a soldier like this before.
“Everyone gather!” Tie Xiong let out a loud roar, and at the same time, he sounded the drum beside the playground. At the beginning, the heavy drums rang out, causing all the captains to be stunned. When they saw that someone was beating the drum, the captains slowly gathered together.
At the same time, many people shouted, “Who are you? I warn you, if you beat that drum randomly, you will go to jail. If you have nothing to do, you can tease Master Jun. See if Master Jun doesn’t strip off a layer of skin off your bodies.”
Tie Xiong and Jiang Feng walked to the front of the queue. Tie Xiong revealed the handsome seal and military talisman that Jiang Feng had given him and loudly said, “General Jiang Feng of Pingnan will officially take over the camp of 100,000 troops from today onwards. Why don’t you kneel down and see?”
Tie Xiong shouted these words with his early distraction cultivation, and his voice sounded like thunder in everyone’s ears. The captains were slightly stunned before kneeling on one knee and saluting, “Greetings, General!”
“Hey! What are you guys doing?” After hearing the drums of the drums, the well-dressed officers finally walked out of the room and shouted as they walked over.
The woman in the room followed behind. Some of the women even teased the officers and said, “Master, this servant is leaving first. Remember to think about this servant …”
The captains kneeling on the ground cleared a path for the officers, and more than thirty officers walked over together. Some of the captains whispered to the officers what was going on. The officers walked up to Jiang Feng and asked in confusion, “Isn’t our camp under Yuwen’s control? Why did we suddenly change people?”
Killing intent flashed in Jiang Feng’s eyes. He suddenly grabbed the man’s neck and forcefully folded it down. “Kacha!” With a crisp sound, blood bubbled out of the officer’s mouth and he died just like that.
Jiang Feng said in a deep voice, “Take the lead in whoring and confusing the barracks while on duty! Kill these bastards, Tie Xiong!”
Hearing Jiang Feng’s words, the thirty-odd officers were immediately shocked. Before they could react, Tie Xiong had already drawn his saber and killed him.
Among these officers, the highest cultivation was at the late stage of Out-of-Body Realm, which could be Tie Xiong’s opponent at the early stage of Distraction.
Not long after, more than 30 officers were killed by Tie Xiong one by one, and a lot of blood splashed onto the captain who was kneeling on the ground.
Jiang Feng asked Tie Xiong softly, “Can these people still be used?”
Tie Xiong sized up the captains kneeling on the ground. Although they were all terrified, they were all strong and vigorous. However, their long and decadent life made them lose their courage and sense of honor as soldiers.
Tie Xiong said, “General Xiahou once said that there are no bad soldiers, only generals who do not lead troops.”
General Xiahou was naturally Jiang Feng’s cheap father-in-law, Xiahou Baili. Hearing what Tie Xiong said, Jiang Feng nodded and shouted, “You guys neglected your duties while on duty. As punishment, from now on, all of you will seal your cultivation and run along the playground with a load of 30,000 meters!”
“Ah? 30,000 meters?”
“Heavens, if you let me carry the weight and run 30,000 meters, it would be better if you let me die.”
Very quickly, Jiang Feng continued, “Those who haven’t completed their mission before lunch will end up like these people.” Jiang Feng pointed at the corpses of the thirty-odd officers. Everyone’s faces turned pale from fear.
Jiang Feng temporarily sealed his cultivation. He walked to the playground and picked up a backpack filled with sand and stones. He shouted, “Everyone has it. Follow me and run!”
Everyone was stunned when they saw Jiang Feng running out first. This new general’s performance was that he was prepared to run 30,000 meters with everyone. Everyone glanced at each other and immediately went to the playground to carry their backpacks and ran out with Jiang Feng.
Two hours later …
After a cultivator sealed his cultivation, even though his physical fitness was much better than that of an ordinary person, he was only much stronger. The thirty thousand meter weight-bearing run was still so tiring that the captains were out of breath.
Jiang Feng ran down with them. He had the Qilin Divine Soul Body, so there would naturally be no problem.
“Everyone gather!” Jiang Feng shouted as he looked at the captains who were bent down to breathe heavily in front of him.
The captains didn’t dare to neglect the new General Ping Nan, who was always killing people in front of them, so they all began to gather. Jiang Feng ordered, “Go gather all the soldiers and horses in the camp. I want to inspect them!”
“All the soldiers? This …” The captains were in a dilemma.
Jiang Feng frowned, “What? You want to disobey?”
“I don’t dare! This subordinate will go immediately!” The captains answered loudly and ran away from the barracks.
To put it bluntly, the camp belonged to the Third Prince, Tuoba Feng. However, the entire camp was filled with the remaining soldiers from the Southern Border Gate, so Tuoba Feng had never paid much attention to these soldiers.
Among the nine checkpoints in the Southern Region, Tuoba Feng was responsible for the other eight checkpoints. Only Yuan Gongguan had sent Yuwen Bing here alone, and had also provided him with a superintendent army camp.
The purpose of doing so was not hard to guess, anyway, it was to supervise and balance Xiahou Baili.
It had been ten years since Yuwen Bing had arrived at the Origin Palace Pass. At the beginning, he had even assumed a cautious attitude, always vigilant against Xiahou Baili. However, this posture lasted for less than a year, and he did not manage the hundred thousand troops in the camp anymore.
Yuwen Bing stayed in the city all day, enjoying the singers that his subordinates were sending him. Occasionally, when they were in a good mood, they would arrange for their subordinates to exchange for dancers and geisha.
As the saying goes, if the upper and lower echelons of the army were unjust, Yuwen Bing would be happy and carefree in the city. Naturally, the soldiers stationed outside the city would not be stupid enough to stay outside the city.
At first, they were still normal consumers, drinking, casinos, whoring, and eating meat in Yuangong Pass City with the few salaries.
Soon after, they ran out of immortal spirit stones.
He couldn’t stand the loneliness and had no one to manage him. Soldiers began to rob and plunder the city. In the beginning, countless girls in Yuangong Pass City had been ruined by these soldiers.
Finally, Xiahou Baili sent troops to suppress them, and forced Yuwen Bing to restrain the commanders of the army camp.
Yuwen Bing finally ordered the troops to retreat and retreat to a place ten miles away from the Origin Palace’s Pass City.
Yuwen Bing immediately ordered the soldiers in the camp to withdraw for ten li, while he himself was in the city. This time, even the generals were enraged. One by one, they brought people to set up checkpoints on the road, learning to be bandits and looking for people to buy money.
Some even disguised themselves as bandits and rode warhorses around Yuan Palace Pass City, causing the people around Yuan Palace Pass to suffer unspeakably.
The captains who had just walked out of the barracks were well aware of the general’s situation. However, due to Jiang Feng’s ruthless methods, they had to try to gather these generals and bring them to the barracks for Jiang Feng to review.
After all the captains ran out of Yuangong City, they directly went to the camp of the superintendent. The leader commanded Huang Yue to order people to ring the tent drum and gather all the generals.
According to the rules, once the tent-raising drum sounded, all the generals had to gather outside the commander-in-chief’s tent. However, Yuwen Bing had always lived in the city. There was no commander-in-chief tent in the camp. As a result, less than one-third of the generals had arrived after the three-link drum had been beaten. They had not come at all.
After waiting for about two hours, the generals finally arrived.
The ten commanders gathered around Huang Yue and one of them smiled and said, “Oh, who is this lord? He looks familiar, but I can’t remember his last name.”
“That’s right, that’s right. From the looks of it, it seems to be Old Yan who used the Yellow Dog Piss Fist after getting drunk in the Cuihua Building last night, right?”
Huang Yue’s face was ashen as he suppressed his anger. He took out the talisman Jiang Feng had given him from his bosom and raised it above his head, shouting loudly, “Here are the talismans. All soldiers, listen up!”
“Military talisman? It looks like it’s real, but who knows if it’s real or not?” A vanguard general laughed mischievously.
