Chapter 1684: The old woman Empress Dowager (1)

The reason why Zhang Shen had come out to gather the rank Four Masters and some powerful generals was that the order to retreat was too important. In terms of official position, he was only yang Gong’s advisor and not someone who could make decisions.

Yang Gong, who was in charge, was unconscious and his life was uncertain. The other in charge had been killed by Xu Erlang.

From Qingzhou to Danzhou, he had fought and killed all the way. This beautiful and weak scholar had accumulated an incalculable amount of hostility in his heart.

In the past, even if Xu Erlang had ten guts, he would not dare to kill a lower second-rank Chengtan official.

In chaotic times, human lives were like grass. It was not just the common people, but also the officials and soldiers.

Very quickly, other than the generals on duty, all the higher-ups were gathered in the commander’s compound of the living quarters.

Among these people, there were the sect and sect Masters of martial Union, Chu Yuanxi, Hengyuan, yang qianhuan, and the other rebel army leaders, as well as generals from the Imperial court like Yang Yan and Chen Ying. There were also generals from the previous Qingzhou Garrison who did not have high cultivation but had rich battle experience.

It was worth mentioning that the former commander of Qingzhou, Zhou Mi, who had the highest position besides yang Gong, had died in Chenzhou.

In the inner hall, a middle-aged eunuch dressed in a Python robe waited for everyone to gather before he looked around and said in a deep voice, ”

“How’s Duke Yang’s injury?”

Li Mubai, who was sitting on the left, said,

“His life is saved, but he is still unconscious. As for when he will wake up, it is still unknown.”

The seal-bearing eunuch frowned and looked to the side at the white-robed figure with his back to the crowd.

“You can’t even save yang qianhuan?”

The white-robed figure with his back to the crowd raised his chin and said arrogantly,

“If it weren’t for the fact that I, yang Gong, who invited the bright moon to pluck the stars, was here, yang Gong would have died in the city.”

The seal-bearing eunuch’s lips twitched as he dismissed the idea of conversing with yang qianhuan. He retracted his gaze and continued to ask, ”

“Where’s Yao Hong?”

Everyone looked at Xu niannian.

To be honest, Yang Yan and the others had been in the officialdom for many years. Unless they were forced to, they really did not dare to kill a secondary second-rank chief administrator.

As for martial Union’s sect Masters, they would not do such a thing either. A state’s administrator, a dignified secondary rank-2, was not someone outsiders like them could kill as they pleased.

With such a deep relationship between martial Union and the great Feng imperial court, it would not be worth it if their anger caused their relationship to break down.

Probably only Xu niannian had the confidence and decisiveness to immediately put an end to it when he saw that something was wrong. He even knew that everyone had concerns and took the initiative to step forward to shoulder the burden.

Although he wasn’t as dazzling as his cousin Xu Qi ‘an, his ability, courage, and responsibility had won the unanimous approval of Yang Yan and the others.

Xu niannian replied calmly, ”

“In order to appease the officials and the Squires, envoy Yao bu fell ill from overwork and is recuperating in his residence.”

He would just give Yao Hong a chance to “die for his country” later.
