C164 (2/2)

The reason for their complacency was that the twelve commanders had all arrived one after another. This meant that these people had acknowledged him as the temporarily commander in chief of the Royal Guard.

Sure enough, with the Imperial Decree, these people didn't dare to go against it. In addition to their father's heavy injuries …

Thinking of his father's injury, Yun Chengfeng's heart grew heavy. Thinking of how he was the commander of the imperial guards and the heir to the house of the marquis, his emotions rose once more as he struggled to come to a conclusion.

The twelve commanders were all very polite to Yun Chengfeng as they cupped their fists and greeted him as their prince. Indeed, they only addressed Yun Chengfeng as their prince and not as handsome lord.

Yun Chengfeng wasn't satisfied with this point, but he suppressed his discontent when he heard Tie Gangying's reminder. As long as he could obtain the military emblem of the imperial guards, the imperial edict would bestow him the title of an official commander of the imperial guards. At that time, these people would have to kneel before him and respectfully call him ”Commander”!

When Tie Gangying saw that all the commanders were present, he couldn't help but take a good look at a few of them. He then glanced at Yun Zhao and secretly reminded Yun Chengfeng that he couldn't be arrogant at this point in time. He couldn't help but be secretly shocked. His previous guess was right, perhaps the handsome man was secretly watching everything that was happening!

If it weren't for the handsome lord, none of these commanders would have come. At the very least, a few of them wouldn't have come.

As for the matter of Yun Chengfeng coming under orders to temporarily take over the post of commander of the imperial guards, the commanders expressed that this was how it should be. Some even said sincerely that the heir was the only heir to the marquis.

These words made Yun Chengfeng feel very good. At the same time, he felt relieved, because this way, he could go back and report to the emperor.

He began to issue orders to mobilize the Royal Guard, and at that moment he was asked to show his token.

Yun Chengfeng was a bit infuriated. Where did he get the military medallion from?

”The emperor has decreed that I am to be appointed as the commander of the imperial guards. Do you dare to go against the imperial edict?”

One of the commanders said calmly, ”We have not received an imperial edict.”

The other commander said with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, ”That's right. Moreover, we are all imperial guards, and we only listen to the orders given by the military medallion. We ask the crown prince to bring out the military medallion. We definitely won't dare to disobey.”

Another commander said unhurriedly, ”This Commander Tie is also a temporary commander in chief of the royal guards. We really don't know which one's orders we should obey.”

The corner of Tie Gang Ying's mouth twitched as he looked at the commander. Their gazes met, and the commander had a gentle smile on his face. Knowing that the commander's words were a provocation to them, Tie Gang Ying only smiled faintly at the commander and did not speak.

Yun Chengfeng was confused again as he looked at Tie Gangying who was sitting beside him. That's right, the emperor had given the order a few days ago to appoint Tie Gangying as the temporary commander in chief of the imperial guards. In less than two days, he was bestowed with the title of the son of the marquis and temporarily replaced as the marshal of the imperial guards. How could this be counted?

Two temporary commanders...

A certain commander stood up and said, ”The two temporary commanders can discuss this slowly. We will take our leave.”

He said goodbye instead of taking his leave. The difference between these two words was huge. Their farewell represented that they did not acknowledge Yun Chengfeng and Tie Gangying. As generals of the imperial guards, their identities were equal. Departure was a form of respect for a person with a low position and a high position.

”You all …”

Yun Chengfeng stood up in a disorderly fashion and watched the commanders leave.
