Chapter 122 (1/2)

w.a.n.g Kai-tai turned his head and looked at the departing An Zhe with an unsightly expression.

He still didn't know what was going on, but he saw corpses strewn all over the pavilion.

The people who had been killed in the end had their heads cut off by An Zhe.

w.a.n.g Kai-tai turned to look at the ashen-faced Xu Chao. ””What is going on?””

””Why did the war come to the Four Corridors?””

Only then did Xu Chao come back to his senses. He rubbed his head and explained what had happened.

When he heard that the members of the Four Sect Alliance had accepted the money to kill the people of the Heavenly Awakening Sect, w.a.n.g KaiTai immediately became furious. ””Motherf * cker!””

””Why did the Infantry Division recruit you animals?!””

A person not far away murmured, ””Who doesn't do this for money? It's just a matter of the martial world. It's nothing.””

He grabbed that person's clothes and held him up high with one arm, ””Let me tell you, once you enter the gate of the Infantry Division, you will all be soldiers. Even if you die, you will still be the ghosts of the Infantry Division.””

When I promised you that you would let bygones be bygones, you should know what you are willing to give in exchange for your past mistakes!

””Judging from your current att.i.tude, there should be less peaceful fights. I'll add another one!””

He pressed his hand down, and the man's head fell to the ground. The man's head directly exploded.

w.a.n.g Kaitai tossed the body to the side. ””From today onwards, I will take care of everyone here.””

Bring them to the barracks at first light. I'll train them myself.

If anyone doesn't agree, I'll kill one.

””If you don't accept it, I'll kill you all.””

He turned around and said, ””Go bring a team of cavalry over, take these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds to the barracks, transfer the officers and guards, if anyone dares to disobey my orders, kill them without mercy!””

His janissaries immediately went to transfer their troops. Those people were completely frightened, and all of them were completely silent. No one dared to speak carelessly anymore.

””Come back with me!””

w.a.n.g Kai-tai glared at Xu Chao, then strode away.

An hour later, Chen Zeyan, who had just slept in the military headquarters, was woken up. He had been working hard for an entire day and half the night.

He knew that his subordinates had a sense of propriety when doing things. If it wasn't for something major, it would be impossible for him to disturb the few days of rest he had today.

Chen was lacking in some points of connection between his work and that of Hao Ping, the late military minister.

But the greatest advantage of this person was his diligence, which almost no one could compare with.

He hadn't slept more than four hours a day since he had become a soldier.

When Chen put on his clothes and came out of the back room, w.a.n.g Kai-tai and Xu Chao and the new a.s.sistant minister, Ma Ziwei, were already waiting in the living room.

””What happened?””

Chen walked quickly out of the room, and when he sat down on the chair, he had already forced himself to wake up.

When it came to the military affairs, Duke Yan Mu Changyan was decisive. After upgrading Chen Zaiyan to become the Minister of War, he immediately promoted Hao Ping. The former member of the Household Department, Ma Ziwei, was the a.s.sistant minister of the military affairs, and did not give the empress dowager any time to warm up Su Qing.

Therefore, the King of Swallow still had a firm control over the troops.

w.a.n.g Kai-tai recounted the incident at the Four Corners Hall in as detailed a manner as possible.

Chen Zaiyan frowned as he heard this, his face turning cold, ””The Four Seasons Tower was personally prepared by the old Minister himself, and many generals were sent to the battlefield. But these people are of unruly origins, and most of them are not disciplined or disciplined.””

Even on the battlefield, resistance was not uncommon.

When the old Minister was present, he personally stared at the Four Seasons Garden, but the people there did not dare to cause a ruckus.

””The responsibility lies with me. After the old Minister left, I was still unable to find the time to manage the affairs of the Four Directions' Guest Hall. Who would have thought that it would erode to such an extent?””

Xu Chao knelt down. ””I have failed my duty. Please punish me, milord.””

Chen Zaiyan shook his head and said, ””You have too many things to do. The relations.h.i.+p between the Military Department and the Martial Arts Academy is all dependent on you alone. How could you have the time to bother about the Four Corridors?””

””It was my negligence. I have indeed forgotten about the Four Corridors.””

w.a.n.g KaiTai said, ””We have to deal with this matter as soon as possible. We can't let the news leak out. Once this matter is known, the Military Department won't be able to bear it.””

””General w.a.n.g's considerations are correct,”” said the a.s.sistant minister, Ma Zi. ””The empress dowager is keeping an eye on our military. Once the empress dowager finds out about this, they'll immediately use it to cause trouble.””

Gather prisoners and bandits from all over the country, and those by the empress dowager's side can even try to rebel against our Military Department.

””If this matter is not handled properly, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with.””

Fang Dao replied straightforwardly, ””I originally planned to send these people to the battlefield as soon as possible, but I didn't expect that after Tie Liuhuo went to the border of Youguo, Youguo would suddenly completely retreat, contrary to normal.””

Although the battle was still ongoing, the situation was stable, and they didn't have the chance to send these people away.

In the past, it was always the front line that sent people to request for more troops, while sending these people over at the same time.

””Since the beginning of the year, there hasn't been an increase in the number of troops, so these people have been staying idle.””

Chen Zaiyan frowned and thought for a while before saying, ””General w.a.n.g has thought it through thoroughly by keeping these people in the barracks.””

””None of those people can show their faces, otherwise, I'm afraid all of us will have to bear the heinous crime of gathering our forces to rebel.””

w.a.n.g KaiTai said, ””Thankfully, it's night time. If it was daytime, this matter would have already been blown up.””

Chen Zaiyan nodded his head, ””How's the situation over at the Four Corners' Union Hall?””

w.a.n.g Kai-Tai said, ””Let me think about it, we can't leave anyone alive. We'll take them all with us.””

The smell of blood was so strong that the dogs' noses would smell it.

””Before I came here, I sent people to the Gathering Merchant House and had Zhuang Fei Fei Fei come to the Infantry Division immediately.””

While he was speaking, Zhuang Feifei, dressed in a man's attire, walked in from outside, ””Greetings Lord Shang Shu, the Vice Minister, and the generals.””

Chen Zaiyan waved his hand, ””Don't be so polite at this time.””

””Sit down first. You know what happened?””

Zhuang Feifei did not sit down, but stood to the side and replied, ””Your subordinate knows. I heard about it from General w.a.n.g's personal army on the way here. Your subordinate thought of some countermeasures, but I do not know if they can be used.””
