In the early morning of the next day, the Eighth Army from Dengcheng came to Fancheng early, and the emperor's camp was not stationed in the prefecture according to the custom, but chose to be in the sub-city in the northwest of the city, which is commonly known as the cabinet city. It is rumored that this is the earliest city site of Fancheng, with a radius of two miles, built two thousand years ago, and there are remnants of Wu Zixu's military hoards and generals.

Everyone who came was a general, and knew that the camp was chosen here more for the emperor's safety, there was an independent siege here, there were few residents, and this place was not affected by much war when the city was attacked, which was easy to control. The north of the city is close to the Xianghe River (the Yangyang section of the Han River), and there is a wharf outside the city, which can lead to the city, and it is also very convenient to travel from the water.

The perimeter of the camp was still garrisoned by the Imperial Guards, and the city was guarded by artillery, soldiers, and chariots were arranged outside the Hajj Gate connected to the outer city, and there were guard posts to cut off the connection with the main city. Although everyone was a general, and Wang Yinglin and Tan Fei were accompanied, they were still able to enter smoothly after checking the number plates one by one.

The camp was set up in the royal palace not far from the river, and the owner had already been invited out and became the emperor's temporary residence. The two sides here are divided into the east and west gardens, although the area is not large, but the pavilions, platforms, pavilions and corridors in the garden are high and low, uneven, and the swimming fish are full of ponds. The courtyard is quiet, with ancient trees, strange rocks, and lush flowers, giving people a sense of tranquility and depth.

After entering the garden, everyone consciously stored their weapons in the guard camp that served as guards, and the horses and accompanying guards were placed elsewhere. Wang Yinglin and Tan Fei went to the inner courtyard to resume their lives, and everyone rested in the outer courtyard to wait for the summons, although they rode a horse for thirty miles in the morning, they couldn't help but be a little tired, but everyone didn't feel hard and excited, and they just felt extremely nervous when they thought of the unpredictable results.

The guards sent tea and snacks, the tea is good tea, and the snacks are exquisite, but Zhang Ba tea is bitter in the mouth, and the snacks are also like chewing wax, and they can't taste the taste at all. Although he received repeated assurances from the prime minister that as long as he resigned from his post and gave up military power, His Majesty would never delve into the matter of the 'mutiny' and would make proper arrangements for him, but he was still terrified in his heart.

As the saying goes, the power of heaven is unpredictable, Zhang Ba is even more uneasy, and there is a faint regret in his heart, who dares to guarantee that His Majesty will not send them to the camp, away from the team of cronies, and then catch them in a net, look back and re-send the receiving team to clear their cronies. And at this time, when he entered the door of the camp, it was too late to regret it, and he was like a fish on a chopping board, and he was slaughtered by His Majesty.

"Zhang Dushuai, Your Majesty summons!" Just when Zhang Ba was thinking wildly, a little yellow door came out to preach.

"Dare to ask the senior official, did Your Majesty only summon me alone?" Zhang Ba's heart tightened when he heard this, and he hurriedly got up and asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty's dictation, it is true that you will first invite the commander to meet you, and you will not mention the generals!" Xiao Huangmen explained with a smile.

"Good!" Zhang Ba nodded a little disappointedly, straightened his clothes and hat, looked back and squeezed out a sad smile at everyone, and followed the little yellow door to the back.

"All handsome ......" Zhang Huai got up and wanted to send him off, but everyone didn't get up, and he didn't know what to say for a while, he was stunned on the spot, only to feel that his hands and feet were stiff, he couldn't sell his steps, his trembling legs couldn't support his body, and he sat down dejectedly.

Zhang Ba was summoned alone, and at first everyone was calm, thinking that His Majesty was going to inquire about something privately, and they talked happily with each other. But after a while, when he didn't come back, everyone began to get nervous, and no one said anything, and some people began to sigh, thinking that Zhang Ba was only afraid that he would not return, especially those who were close to him began to worry about their fate.

After Zhang Ba went in for about an hour, he did not see his return, and summoned Xie Ming, the Marquis of Yu, to meet him, and he never returned. Some people began to sit still and asked the little yellow door who was waiting beside them, but they just smiled and shook their heads and did not answer, they could be satisfied with eating and drinking, and they could not answer a word when asked about the things that followed. Some people also went out to try to find an acquaintance to ask about the situation, although no one stopped them from going out, but there were not only the guards of the guard battalion around, but also the patrol team kept patrolling back and forth.

After about half an hour, neither of the two commanders returned, and several division and brigade commanders were called away. The rest of the people were even more frightened, secretly speculating that His Majesty must divide and conquer, separate the chief officers and take them down one by one, and then clean up their small fish and shrimp, so that the Eighth Army is leaderless, even if someone wants to make trouble, they can't set off the storm.

"What is Your Majesty going to do? If you want us to wait until when, if we want to kill or chop, we will give a good time, what is it to hang like this! Finally, someone couldn't bear the anxiety in his heart, stood up and said angrily.

"The king doesn't need to be anxious, if His Majesty summons him at the same time, he will talk nonsense, who will listen to him." Some people do self-comforting and forgiveness.

"Yes, yes! Your Majesty will definitely have to understand the situation in detail and inquire about them one by one, and the time will definitely be longer. ”

"It's noon, and none of the people who came back have come back, so I feel like I'm going to be up!"

"We've been sitting here for a long time, and we haven't even seen a single figure, at least we have to have someone to accompany us!"

…………

"Oh, everyone is lonely, can I accompany you?"

"Ni Dushuai?!"

"Commander Ni!"

"Commander Ni!"

"Brother Ni!"

"Young owner!" …… Everyone was taken aback when they suddenly heard someone talking, but when they turned their faces to see that it was Ni Liang, the thirty or so people in the room got up and screamed nonsense.

The one who is called Du Shuai is the one who has been transferred to the Eighth Army by the Imperial Protector, or who is newly promoted in the army; The commander is called the subordinates of the Marshal's army when the guard battalion was expanded after the dispatch of Qiong; The one who is called the commander is the veteran of the first establishment of the Shuaifu Army; And the one named Brother Ni must be an orphan in the army from the old battalion; As for the young owner, it must be the old folks of Nijiazhuang who is in Quanzhou Shiqin Wang.

Ni Liang still greeted everyone one by one with a smile on his face, but everyone soon realized that this person was no longer the 'stupid boy' of the year, but the marshal in charge of the 100,000 imperial guards, the emperor's first confidant, and his words could decide the life and death of everyone.

"Ni Dushuai, I don't know when His Majesty will summon me and others?" Someone still couldn't hold back and asked.

"Your Majesty knows that you have been waiting for a long time, so you can't bear it anymore, so you asked me to accompany you, so as not to cause you to be wrong again!" Ni Liang smiled and asked everyone to sit down, but who dared to sit down first, let him take the first seat.

"Du Shuai laughed, we have the courage to be presumptuous in front of His Majesty!" Someone laughed with him.

"Who believes it? This time, your Eighth Army is still a small matter, knowing that His Majesty has personally recruited here, but he refuses to meet it; Then we attacked Fancheng, and you watched from the wall, refusing to come to help in the war; Now he is committing the following crimes, and he does not hesitate to do so. This is a felony of killing the head, and you dare to say that you are cowardly! Ni Liang looked at everyone and teased.

"This ...... Is Your Majesty angry and wants to punish us severely? Hu Decai, who was still very calm, also became nervous when he heard this, and asked out loud.

"Of course, Your Majesty was furious when he heard this, saying that this is the first time such a bad thing has happened since the establishment of the new army, and he must be severely punished!" Ni Liang nodded and said with a straight face.

'Sizzle'...... everyone gasped when they heard it, they all knew that Ni Liang was honest and honest, never smiling, and never joking, what he said must be true.

"Alas, the thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, and we have done such things, I don't ask for forgiveness from Your Majesty, I just ask not to involve my family!" Qi Zhong sighed and saluted Ni Liang.

"Well, since you have all admitted your mistakes, then go with me!" Ni Liang stood up, glanced at everyone and said coldly.

"What are you going to do?" Seeing Ni Liang's face, someone asked in fear.

"Your Majesty said that you have traveled so far, and you must not have eaten breakfast well, and you have been sitting for most of the day, you must be hungry, so let Ben Shuai invite you to eat!" Ni Liang said coldly.

"Severed head rice!" The smiles on everyone's faces disappeared in an instant, and all they thought of was this, understanding that today was a catastrophe, so that they could eat enough, and they could still ask for a kill in the morning. But at the moment, the guard battalion outside is watching, and those people are all elites in the army, and it is not much easier to escape from under their noses and be ascended to the sky, so they can only accept their fate, and follow Ni Liang out of the door to the back garden with a sad face.

The scenery in the garden is good, and the back garden is even more beautiful, and the lake is rippling, but the people who are full of worries have no intention of appreciating it at all, just follow Ni Liang indifferently, even if some people have some ideas, they think that it is not bad to die here. Walking and turning a corner, someone suddenly exclaimed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here!" ”

"Eh, they're all handsome, too!" Everyone looked in the direction of the man's finger, and saw that under a pavilion by the pond, not only the emperor was there, but also the commander of the capital, the marquis of Du Yu, and several chief officials who had been summoned before, were talking and laughing with His Majesty, and there was the slightest sign of carrying them out of military law.

"Ni Dushuai, what's going on?" Everyone turned their faces to look at Ni Liang and asked.

"Your Majesty gives you a banquet, invite you to dinner!" Ni Liang still said with a straight face.

"Ni Dushuai, why are you not honest, a banquet is a banquet, why are you lying to us!" No matter how stupid everyone is, they understand that they were deceived by the always honest Ni Liang, which is clearly rain and dew, but what he said made people mistake it for thunder.

"Hehe, Your Majesty is saying that you are loyal to the king, but you are actually the cadres of the country, but unfortunately the time is too tight, you can't meet and talk one by one, you can only have a meal together, you are a thief, and you misinterpret my meaning!" Ni Liang said with a narrow smile.

"Ni Dushuai, you have changed, how can you become so cunning from such a simple person in the past!" Everyone heard that a stone fell to the ground, and then looked at Ni Liang with a begging look, and accused him of learning badly......
