"People are dead, and they still don't let them go? It's too much of a deception. After hearing the inspection report, Lu Gui roared with anger on his face.

But before he could get angry, a subordinate came from outside the door to report, saying that Yang Chendong, the loyal Marquis, had come with a hundred officers and soldiers from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and they had already walked through the gatehouse and were coming to the inner courtyard.

As soon as he heard that it was Yang Chendong coming, Lu Gui immediately guessed the other party's intentions, and immediately said anxiously: "Who let them in, won't you stop it?" ”

"Commander, I can't stop it. Yang Houye had the command token of Jinyiwei in his hand, and no one dared to stop the brothers. The brocade guard who reported the news replied with an aggrieved face.

"It's... And he said that the official was not there. Lu Gui said as he looked around, clearly trying to find a safe place to hide.

"Bang!" With a muffled sound, the door was kicked open from the outside, and Yang Chendong, who had a murderous face, appeared in front of Lu Gui with hundreds of soldiers from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.

"Ahh At first, there was an exclamation, but soon Lu Gui reacted, forced himself to calm down, and said to Yang Chendong in a questioning tone: "Lord Yang, what are you doing here?" Led someone to break into the Jinyi Guard, do you know what this crime is? ”

The color is strong and inward, describing what Lu Gui looks like at this moment.

In response to Lu Gui's howl and questioning, the officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division standing opposite each other sneered one by one. This time I was able to follow the loyal Marquis to go to Jinyiwei, this is a very glorious thing, with today's experience, I am afraid that I will blow it with my colleagues in the future.

I think that in the past, it was the Jinyi Guards who found trouble for them, and everyone was a soldier to eat food, but the treatment was very different. Now with Yang Chendong, it's different, openly rushing into the Jinyi Guard to take people, what a majesty this is, it makes people's blood boil when they think about it.

Lu Gui was still shouting there, still playing majestic, and it could even be said that he was playing a scoundrel. Yang Chendong snorted coldly, and then said: "As the commander of Jinyiwei, you still have the face to say Benhou, do you know that last night, Jinyiwei's brother went to trouble the mercenaries, so he almost injured their people, and now they are asking us to explain, how do you say I should answer?" Yes? ”

Yang Chendong's question made Lu Gui suddenly feel a lot weaker. But thinking that Han Zhi and the others were all dead, and the matter of the mission he sent was dead without proof, he felt confident again, "What does this have to do with this official, Han Zhi and they are private." If you want to say the law, just look for them. ”

"Look for them, you can say it. Do you let Benhou go and deal with the dead? Yang Chendong continued to ask angrily. But then he suddenly retracted, and his voice became much more indifferent, "Okay, you can not admit it, now those mercenaries let Ben Hou give an explanation, and said that if they can't satisfy them, they will leave the Jingshi immediately, so if the Wara army comes, it's up to you to meet the enemy, hum!" ”

Talking about the seriousness of the matter, Yang Chendong stopped talking nonsense, but turned around and left. It's really a hurry to come and go.

Yang Chendong actually left like this, and Lu Gui who was watching it was a little puzzled. But when I think of what people said at the end, if the mercenaries really left because of this, then who will bear and be responsible for the guardianship of the Jingshi? Pointing at yourself?

It's not that he looks down on himself, Lu Gui really doesn't have the confidence to do this well. Thinking that Yingzong with 500,000 horses and Shiheng Dudu with an army of more than 100,000 were defeated, how could he defeat Warat?

"Wait, Wait, Wait." Considering the seriousness of the matter, Lu Gui had to shout, and ran out at a high speed while shouting. If Yang Chendong is allowed to leave, I am afraid that his guilt will be too great.

Of course, Yang Chendong won't go too fast. Defending the capital and defeating Warat was originally part of his plan, and even if no one begged him, he would do the same. What he said just now was just to scare the other party, and it was also to fight for more benefits, how could he really let the mercenaries leave because of this? How could he really allow this alien race to bully the Han Chinese?

After waiting for Lu Gui's shout behind him, Yang Chendong naturally stopped, but when he turned around, he still asked with a serious face: "What did the commander do when he called Ben Hou?" If you don't know about the matter, then I'll ask Gonggong Jin, if Gonggong doesn't care, then let the mercenaries leave, and Benhou can just let down the burden of guarding the Jingshi. Hey, speaking of which, Ben Hou is too young, and he was a little righteous when he took on an errand. ”

Yang Chendong's words made Lu Gui even more stunned after hearing it, and when he heard that it would have such serious consequences, he knew better that this was not something he could carry. At that moment, his face became a little more smiling, "Yang Houye, don't worry, is there anything we can discuss?" Although Han Zhi's behavior is purely a personal act, he is not a person of Jinyiwei after all, something like this happened, this commander thought about it for a while, and he is also responsible, Yang Houye, you see how to compensate for it, if the number is not very large, this commander can do his part. ”

Lu Gui confessed, Yang Chendong smiled in his heart, and there was a hint of sunshine on his face, "Okay, it's good to have this attitude, about this compensation, the mercenary has already told Ben Hou, and 500,000 taels of silver can settle the matter." ”

Originally, there was still a smile on his face, but after Lu Gui heard the figure of 500,000, the whole person jumped up, "How much?" This... It is absolutely impossible, no, no. ”

Lu Gui was still waving his hands there, and screamed as if he had been bitten, Yang Chendong snorted coldly, "That's it, even if there is no commander, I will go and ask Gonggong Jin if it is okay, if not, then let them leave." ”

Yang Chendong turned around and left, without the slightest intention of falling in love, which made Lu Gui stunned. Without an audience, what's the point of such a performance?

"Yang Hou, Yang Hou, don't be in a hurry, let's discuss again." A shout came out, and Lu Gui continued to chase after Yang Chendong.

In the palace.

Jin Ying, who had been paying attention to the situation, hurried to the emperor's sleeping palace as soon as he received the news. The situation in the capital is not stable, these days there are a lot of courtiers are sending their families out of the city, in view of such a complex and chaotic situation, that is, even the early dynasty has not been opened, with the permission of Zhu Qiyu, from the original one day to three days.

When Jin Ying arrived in the palace, Zhu Qiyu was eating the breakfast sent by the imperial dining room, "Oh, Aiqing is here, have you eaten early, let's use it together." ”

The emperor asked his courtiers to accompany him early, which was already a very high favor, and Jin Ying was flattered. If it was in the past, he would definitely sit down and serve the emperor's breakfast well, but now, he really doesn't have such a mood. "Your Majesty, has the matter of sending mercenaries to test the results of the matter?"

"What result?" Zhu Qiyu, who was originally indifferent, suddenly stopped holding the chopsticks when he heard Jin Ying say this, raised his head, and asked with a serious face.

"Good results, but also bad results." Jin Ying was looked at by Zhu Qiyu, and suddenly felt a panic in her heart, and she didn't know how to describe what she wanted to say for a while.

"What does Aiqing mean?" Zhu Qiyu was also confused by this statement.

Perhaps knowing that his description was not appropriate, Jin Ying hurriedly explained: "Back to the emperor, Jinyiwei went to the temporary camp of the mercenaries last night according to your will, a total of eleven people, eleven people died, and all of them fell in front of Jinyiwei's yamen this morning. The person sent by the minister to investigate came back and said that yesterday evening, he faintly heard the sound of firearms firing over there. ”

While talking, he observed Zhu Qiyu, and when he found that he was listening carefully, he continued to speak: "This is good news, it has been proved that this mercenary army does have good strength and is very vigilant. It's just that... It's just that they asked us for compensation on the grounds that someone was spying on the camp, and they asked for 500,000 taels of silver when they opened their mouths. ”

Zhu Qiyu followed Jin Ying's report, and his face was also cloudy.

When I knew that the mercenaries were good at fighting, I had more confidence in the defense of the Jingshi. But when he heard the other party's request for compensation of 500,000 taels of silver for last night's temptation, his face couldn't help but change drastically: "Can you investigate, did they die last night?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the loyal marquis has already given the answer, the mercenaries did not suffer any casualties, they were just disturbed." Jin Ying took out what Yang Chendong said to Lu Gui.

"No casualties? Then why did the lion open his mouth and ask for 500,000 taels of silver, did they think that my silver and the silver of the treasury fell from the world? It really doesn't make sense. With anger on his face, it could be seen that Zhu Qiyu was a little angry.

It is true that he is the emperor of a country, and it is not bad to be rich all over the world. But the more this happens, the more dignity is valued above anything else.

The dead man is the Jinyi Guard, the mercenaries not only kill people, but also want silver, this is simply a threat and blackmail, as the emperor of a country, if he retreats and agrees to the other party's request, isn't it a sign of bowing his head? If so, how can you rule a country in the future?

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Jin Ying's face was bitter, and what she was worried about finally happened. The emperor wants to save face, and the mercenary's behavior has obviously touched the dragon scales, which is no longer a matter of 500,000 taels of silver, but the dignity of a country.

It is true that the mercenary approach is a bit excessive. If the other party did not have advanced firearms, strong combat power, and Jin Ying's character, he would not report such a thing to the emperor, but privately ordered Jinyiwei and Dongchang to arrest these people, and at that time he had to use practical actions to tell the other party what things could not be done and who could not be provoked.
