Chapter 392: Chapter 322: Summon People! (5K Request for Monthly Ticket)_3
From thousands of miles away, the three new Demon Suppression Envoys rushed to Shu upon hearing the news of their appointnt, discussing an incident on the way that aggravated them.
Jiange Pass is adjacent to Tianxiong Pass, and when they attempted to pass through Jiange on their way to Tianxiong, the local Colonel Wu Sheng did not allow them to bring their troops through, which they found humiliating and infuriating.
“The Overseers strictly ordered that governnt soldiers are not to move around at will. Passing through with troops requires prior notification and the possession of a written permit. Colonel Wu was just following protocol, how did it beco unreasonable in your view?” At this mont, a detached voice spoke up.
Sitting at the left side, Wei Zhong was self-absorbed in his drinking, slightly raising his eyebrows.
These words choked the Colonel from Lanshan Pass, his expression froze, then darkened, turning quite unpleasant.
Seated at the head of the table, Gongyang Jianshan’s tiger eyes narrowed, a smirk lifting the tattoos on his face, slowing speaking in a semi-amused tone:
“The enthusiasm of you gentlen to welco the envoy is admirable, but Colonel Wei is indeed correct. Colonel Wu from Jiange Pass has enforced the law impartially, which is comndable.”
Turning his head, he looked at Wei Zhong sitting at the low end of the table, “I heard that two months ago, there was a rebellion here, and Colonel Wu, Colonel Wei, and the famous Ninth Mountain’s Colonel together suppressed it very well.”
“When the ti cos, when Ninth Mountain’s Colonel arrives, haha, Lord Demon Suppression Envoy will surely appreciate you gentlen, just greet him respectfully as ‘Lord’, and you will enjoy endless wealth and honor. What do you say?”
Saying this, he scanned the other three Colonels.
The three Colonels’ gazes flickered imperceptibly, then hurriedly nodded.
“Yes, yes, yes!”
At this mont, Gongyang Jianshan turned his aningful gaze towards Wei Zhong,
“Colonel Wei, you also should seize the opportunity, shouldn’t you?”
Wei Zhong, detecting the underlying aning in Gongyang Jianshan’s words, kept his expression unchanged and his eyes slightly lowered, “Since the Court has sent Lord Demon Suppression Envoy, as subordinates, we should simply do our duty. To speak of seizing opportunities, General Gongyang is overstating.”
With that, he stood up, bowed, and excused himself, “I have official duties to attend to, cannot be negligent. Since the Colonels have nothing urgent, I beg General Gongyang’s forgiveness, and I must take my leave now!”
After finishing speaking, he left without another word to the three other Colonels.
The faces of the three Colonels turned ugly.
What do you an we have nothing urgent? Clearly, Wei Zhong is trying to provoke us.
Suddenly, with a “bang”, the Deputy General Hu, who was originally sitting at the lower end of the table, slapped the table and stood up rapidly, staring coldly at Wei Zhong.
Outside, coincidentally, the sound of drawing swords was heard.
Inside the hall, the Huqin music abruptly stopped, the Western Regions Dancers gasped in shock, with Mi Ayi, the golden gauze dancer, standing in the forefront, her pupils dilated in alarm, thinking to herself that Colonel Wei, who is friendly with General Chen, is in a precarious situation.
“Ah, Jin Quan, Colonel Wei is busy with his duties; let him be, no discourtesy allowed!” At this ti, Gongyang Jianshan, narrowing his eyes, waved his hand.
Deputy General Hu huffed, and only then sat down, yet his gaze remained icy cold, tracking Wei Zhong as he left.
Wei Zhong, with a composed expression, left the hall, walking straight through the midst of the dancers, and exited the pavilion.
After Wei Zhong departed, the atmosphere in the great hall turned eerie.
Deputy General Hu rose and bowed deeply towards the head of the table, his tone nacing, “General, this Wei does not know his place. Perhaps we should just…”
“Jin Quan, all the Colonels are present here, be cautious with your words,” Gongyang Jianshan’s expression was neither angry nor happy.
“Understood, General. Should I let these Hu slaves continue then?”
“Forget it, I’m no longer in the mood, a few drinks with the colonels will suffice. Take these people away, but of course, make sure none of this gets out; you know what to do.”
“Understood!” The Deputy General, with a hint of a smile on his lips, looked towards these Western Regions won, his gaze finally resting on Mi Ayi’s face,
“Take these people away!”
At his command, his subordinates imdiately sward in, seizing Mi Ayi and the others.
The cries of the won rang out.
Mi Ayi, looking into the eyes of the Armored Soldiers, saw the cruel delight of beasts, especially in the words of the highest-ranking Vanguard Army Commander, uncertain what they were going to face next, a heavy feeling sinking in her heart as she tightly clenched her sleeve. But what worried her the most was the Princess!
A group of Western Regions won were escorted away by the Armored Soldiers.
anwhile, the scene shifts, and Wei Zhong returns to his own Colonel Palace, imdiately summoning the duty Colonel, whispering orders:
“Send out the order, instruct all Colonels to be on alert, emphasizing the sa to the troops as well!”
Wei Zhong, feeling vigilant in his heart, considered today’s actions as a clear stance against Gongyang Jianshan, the need to be wary of that man’s leverage over the articles, as long as there are troops, Wei Zhong felt reassured…
The duty Colonel had barely left when footsteps were heard outside the door.
Following closely, a Colonel entered, reporting: “Sir, I have sothing to report, the owner of the Southern City Tianxiang Building found , asking for your help to ensure his musicians and dancers safely return to the building. He fears the Vanguard Army might harm these won.”
“But indeed, the conduct of this Vanguard Army is concerning.”
Wei Zhong frowned, his situation now an ergency, hardly having the ti to deal with these matters, just about to speak.
But the subordinate Colonel hadn’t finished yet, producing a sealed letter from his sleeve, continuing:
“The owner insisted you must read this letter.”
Wei Zhong, slightly puzzled, took the letter, scanning it, his expression abruptly changed, folding it up quickly.
“Quickly, send soone to check if those musicians and dancers are still at the pavilion.”
“Understood!”
Not long after, the Colonel returned to report,
“Report, Sir, those dancers from Tianxiang Building were taken by that man Hu to their military camp.”
“What?” Wei Zhong thought of sothing, his eyes widening in anger.
“Damn it, what do they intend to do with these won by dragging them to the camp?”
Saying this, he was about to speak again, but hesitated for a mont, then scoffed,
“Colonel Chen, you really know how to put in a difficult situation.”
“Forget it, forget it!”
“Since those bastards made angry, I didn’t plan to let them off easy.”
He snorted coldly through his nose,
“Call for soone!”
“Follow to the Vanguard Camp!”
