C15 (2/2)
Chen Chu turned around and glanced at Zhao Handong, his face once again adorned with his infuriating, cold smile.
”You mean that people's militia can be consumed at will?” Kong Sheng trembled in anger.
Chen Chu's tone became quite a bit more respectful: ”I would like to ask Sir, on the battlefield, everyone is a pawn, in order to kill the enemy, what is there to not consume?”
”Bastard!” ”Preposterous!” His position was originally one level higher than Chen Chu's White Feather Battalion Commander, so the losses to his subordinate people's militia were the biggest. Adding to that, he had the most experience and was the most senior, so he did have the qualifications to knock Chen Chu on the table.
Chen Chu's smile carried undisguised ridicule: ”How about you bring back your master's people's militia s to fight a bit, and bring back a few thousand heads of your Moqiu Army s?”
”You! ”You!” Xu Tiankong was so angry that he couldn't speak, he turned to Kong Sheng and said, ”Lord Kong, give me an explanation!”
Kong Sheng shook his head helplessly. In the past few days, he had heard the words ”why don't you give me an explanation” the most. Isn't it just about asking for money and getting a job? There was a pension for the fallen soldiers, but how much of it would fall into the hands of these soldiers? Moreover, this Sir Guan Zai probably wanted to retreat to the B-list rankings to recuperate under the name of 'too much damage' and leave this place far behind, right? They didn't dare to leave during the war, but they wouldn't let go if they had an excuse.
Kong Sheng did not bother with Xu Tianzhi, he pointed at Chen Chu and said, ”Master Chen, you did follow my orders to blow up the dike, but you deliberately delayed it, causing unnecessary losses to our army, you must take this responsibility.”
”I don't receive orders from an emperor. Lord Kong should have heard of this saying, right?” Chen Chu's face was filled with disdain.
Kong Sheng did not bother responding to his words at all, and continued to speak. ”Disobeying the orders, causing unprovoked casualties, it is already enough to face the ultimate punishment of the Imperial Military Discipline, and according to the rules, it should be resolved!”
Chen Chu raised his eyebrows, and replied in a loud and clear voice, ”According to the Imperial Military Discipline s, each person is rewarded with five silvers, each person was rewarded with a hundred silvers, and each person was awarded a hundred thousand silver. This humble general would like to ask Master, if you have already punished her, how will you win the prize?! ”
Kong Sheng abruptly raised his head, as he stared at Chen Chu with shining eyes, and said word by word. ”This official will report to the Phoenix Emperor, His Majesty, and the timely Grand Commander, and follow the rules to chase after him. I have promised you that I will take care of your affairs! ”
Chen Chu's pupils shrunk to a narrow hole, ”Is Lord Kong really going to cut off this lowly general's head?”
”That's right!” Kong Sheng suddenly stood up, and looked straight at Chen Chu. This time, his aura was extremely oppressive. Not to mention the few management belts from the five northern provinces, even Zhao Handong who had been through battles for a long time did not dare to make a sound. Kong Sheng held onto the blade on his waist, and shouted to the guards on his left and right. ”Take him down!” Two sturdy guards from left and right immediately pressed Chen Chu down there.
Chen Chu suddenly raised his head, gritted his teeth and said word by word, ”Lord Kong Kong Sheng, surrogate commander Kong, you can't kill me! I am a direct bestowed to you by Commander Shi Keren, you cannot kill me! ”
Kong Sheng slammed his waist blade on the table and shouted sternly, ”This blade was personally bestowed to Commander Shi Keren of the north of the empire Battle Zone, when no one is under his command, it cannot be cut!”
Chen Chu struggled to pull out an arm and reached into his robes. He tore off a jade pendant from his neck and held it up high: ”This is the late emperor's gift to the Phoenix Blood Pendant! I am a member of the royal family, you cannot kill me! ”
The moment he said this, everyone was shocked!
The new Fire Phoenix Emperor was the granddaughter of the previous Emperor, and the new Emperor was only slightly over twenty years old. This Chen Chu was also only slightly over twenty years old, if he had a jade pendant that the previous Emperor bestowed upon him, and was a member of the Imperial Family, then he would be someone who could sit at the same level as the current Fire Phoenix Emperor!
Moreover, to speak of great disrespect, the late emperor had been an outstanding and elegant person. Although he had only left behind a single child like the crown prince, he had also ended up as a white-haired man sending away the black-haired man. However, this was on the surface, who knew what was going on in private? For example, the jade pendant on Chen Chu's body, was most likely the keepsake left by the late emperor for the unknown woman after he had gone out of his way. Moreover, the Phoenix Blood Pendant was unique to the Imperial Family. Although it couldn't be considered a precious treasure, it still wasn't something that they could casually obtain. Putting everything else aside, just the words ”Phoenix Blood Pendant” wasn't something that an ordinary person could understand.
In short, Chen Chu could not kill him with his own blade!
Xu Tiankong walked in front of Chen Chu and squatted down to hold the jade pendant in his hands. After a while, he saw that the jade pendant was the size of a walnut, with the shape of a drop of blood, and the jade was white and lush with green. There was a phoenix shaped red dot in the middle, exactly the same as the Phoenix Blood Pendant that he had seen before. Xu Tianxiong's hands trembled as he returned the jade pendant to Chen Chu, then he turned to look at Kong Sheng and nodded heavily.
Kong Sheng shut his eyes tightly. After a long while, he took in a deep breath, pointed at Chen Chu and hatefully said, ”Fine, I can't kill you, but I'm a surrogate commander of the Phoenix City Pass. I can't kill you, but I can lock you up!” Saying that, Kong Sheng shouted once again, ”Take him down! When I personally make my report, the commander will make his decision! ”
Seeing the guards carry Chen Chu away with a face filled with sneer, Kong Sheng sighed to himself. When was the calamity of the Phoenix City Pass going to end?
