Chapter 281 Why is the wind so fast?

The people around him were silent. The Imperial City Division, the Forbidden Army, and the border troops outside the Pass were all on guard all around.

Only the two of them were left talking on horseback in the middle of the school grounds, constantly speculating about the intentions of the people behind the scenes. Even if they prevented themselves and others from going south, why did they send out so many people to intercept and kill them.

While thinking about it, I still don't understand.

However, Zhang Jinyu continued to praise Eunuch Zhao for his skill in handling the situation.

When Eunuch Zhao heard such praise from Lord Zhang Jinyu, a warm current flowed through his heart, and his face immediately burst into laughter. He grinned and his face was rosy, as if he was several years younger.

Then he replied with some deliberate humility;

"Master Marquis, you are joking. How dare the Za family try to do anything in front of you? The two commanders of the imperial army have led the army well. By the way, you two, listen. From now on, your four guards will obey the command of the Marquis.

, If anyone disrespects military orders, the Zajia family will not be lenient. This is the Holy Spirit’s will. You must weigh it yourself."

"If you don't dare, you will have to obey the command of the Marquis."

The two commanders immediately knelt down and said, Zhang Jinyu also used her hands to support them, and asked them to get up and reply.

"Excuse me, as long as you two generals are dedicated, I am not an unreasonable person. If nothing else, you will be rewarded and punished for your work under me. I will not treat my brothers badly."

"Yes, Lord Marquis, I will obey your orders."

Zhang Jinyu wanted to speak in agreement, but suddenly the elementary school at the palace gate came to report;

Zhang Jinyu then touched his chin. It's not easy for someone to come at such an urgent time. No matter who you are, as long as you are sensible, there is nothing you can do if you don't understand the rules.

After receiving the order, Commander Pang immediately returned to the school grounds, ordered his troops and horses, and led the army to set off immediately.

Thinking of yesterday, Liang Baihu, a confidant, hurriedly escaped from Yangzhou to report that there were changes in Yangzhou. The small Qianhu from the capital were not simple. Although they had good intentions, they did not help the overall situation.

There were a large number of people from the Imperial City Division. The leading ones were on horses, followed by almost a few thousand people, holding flags and wearing armor, which was quite menacing.

Zhang Jinyu remained silent, and that's what he said, but what happened today will inevitably spread tomorrow, and those people should take action.

"Master Hou, after listening to what the Za family said, first send people to surround the residences of those suspicious people, and then find out. Master Hou, all the civil servants in Jiangnan and many public officials are here, and those noble families are watching secretly.

It’s here.”

Jiugong Campus,

Zhao Si was furious after hearing this. He was about to say something but Zhang Jinyu stopped him with his hand.

Zhang Jinyu seemed to be cooperating and let out a long "oh".

Zhao Si was stunned when he heard this. His house was being ransacked before any trial was carried out. If the civil servants in Jiangnan found out, it would be a huge disaster. Besides, the relationship between them was not clear yet. Who should be arrested?

I am also wondering whether I will start searching the houses of the arrested people tonight. But if there is no evidence of grease, I am afraid that it will arouse the hostility of the Jiangnan civil and military forces. It is a bit unpredictable, and there are those who were just arrested.

People are obviously freeloaders, not even peripheral people. This business is not worth it.

Du Yifu said calmly while sitting on the horse. The people in the Imperial City Division behind him felt relieved when they heard what their commander said. They all knew that his master was a member of the Supreme Emperor, and he was also the former commander of the secret guard. Naturally, they were not afraid.

What kind of imperial envoy?

Mr. Zhao from the Zhao Division said doubtfully that this person came very quickly and could react to the slightest movement. He was indeed an old man from the Imperial City Division.

"Haha, isn't this Mr. Gui? He is becoming more and more prestigious now, but I don't know how long he can remain so prestigious."

Seeing that Mr. Hou was confused, Eunuch Zhao of the Zhao family came over and explained in a low voice.

When they arrived at the school grounds, Gui Yifu did not dismount. He just sat on the horse with his hands clasped in his fists and bowed to Zhang Jinyu and Eunuch Zhao, as if he had met them.

"Master Hou, it's better not to use your words. What is the purpose of Master Hou coming here?"

I wanted to ignore it, but I still had things to do, so I asked with a bad look on my face;

"Commander Gui, why did you come here? Could it be that you were tipping someone off!"

"Yes, Lord Marquis, the general will take your orders."

"you!"

Zhao Si patted the war horse beneath him and said meaningfully.

Zhao Si was also praising him from the side, with a somewhat flattering look on his face.

Zhang Jinyu came back to her senses and looked over. Isn't there someone ready? Eunuch Zhao must know how to deal with it, so he asked;

"Eunuch Zhao, do you think we should just ransack the homes of those people tonight? Wouldn't it be too slow to interrogate them one by one?"

Zhang Jinyu couldn't help but shiver and feel a little cold. When she saw that everyone in the school grounds had already gathered, she looked at the sky again and saw that it was already the third watch. No longer hesitating, she immediately ordered;

"Commander Pang, arrange for your Wuxiang Guards to take over the four gates of Jinling City immediately. From today on, you will be responsible for opening and closing the city gates. The government troops will cooperate. Anyone who dares to block them will be captured immediately, including the government troops."

Behind him, Eunuch Zhao of the Zhao Division saw Mr. Hou sitting on the horse, silent and apparently thinking about something. He was obviously the loser just now, so he came over and asked;

"Master Hou, Master Hou, what's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

"Well, why is he here?"

Zhao Si chuckled, with a somewhat unhappy look on his face, and tried to test the words.

"Eunuch Zhao, take a break. What are you in a hurry for? You're already here. Who is that? What's Gui?"

Zhang Jinyu couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she heard that this person was a member of the Supreme Emperor. There was a struggle for power in the palace, and the local government was at a loss. How could he be able to maintain his position in the world?

"Master Commander, Marquis Luo Yun actually mobilized his army overnight to raid Jinling City, but what happened?"

Outside the old palace,

In front of the palace gate, on one side of the water bridge.

"Well, then"

"Report, Mr. Hou, the factory owner, Gui Yifu, the left-behind deputy commander of the Jiangnan Imperial City Department outside the old palace, wants to see you."

"Master Marquis, is it better to try this matter first? Now it's just a tongue-lashing. General Liu, according to the Za family, will try it carefully all night, and then follow the clues to see who is behind the scenes. As for the confiscation of the house, there is no such thing.

I’m anxious for this moment.”

Qianhu You Guangfeng behind him also asked worriedly. There has been no turmoil in Jinling City for a long time. If the tranquility is broken by people from the capital, a large number of officials will inevitably be dismissed. By then, no one will have an easy time.

I am afraid that if there is no winner, the consequences will be unpredictable. Some people in Jiangnan are not interested in the imperial court.

"Master Marquis, my commander stayed at Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River. Naturally, it is for the safety of Jiangnan. Isn't it inappropriate for the Marquis to mobilize the army when he comes here?"

Where do these forbidden troops plan to go?

"You guys, send people to follow these forbidden troops to see what they are going to do?"

Outside the old palace,

After waiting for Wu Xiang's guards to finish leaving, the captain went over to deliver the order;

"Commander Gui, the Imperial Envoy has invited you."

"Everyone is here, we need to meet them anyway, otherwise it will appear that we don't know how to treat guests and bring them in. What do you think, Eunuch Zhao?"

This person is not simple, and his speed is not slow either. Calculate the time and the distance he has reached to the old palace.

"Master Hou, this person's character is unpredictable, but he can be regarded as the anchor of Jiangnan. He is devoted to the imperial court. He was arranged by the Supreme Emperor. He has been staying in Jiangnan for many years. It is strange to come here at this time."

Gui Yifu was riding on his horse and looked at the large number of Imperial Guardsmen and horses passing by the water bridge in front of him. His face was solemn. Marquis Luo Yun was too fast. He took control of the Imperial Guards before he could react. Now he is the only one in Jinling City.

.

The few confidants behind him agreed to retreat, then disappeared into the ranks behind them.

"Master Hou, Gui Yifu."

Gui Yifu felt a little uneasy, fearing that the young Marquis would wander around in Jinling City, which would cause trouble.

"Oh, it turned out to be Gui Yitu. Don't blame me for not hearing clearly, cough."

Now it was Gui Yifu's turn to be so angry that he could not speak. Zhao Si felt as if he had eaten honey and felt extremely comfortable.

"The Marquis is still kind. The Zajia family is moved by what the Marquis did. He leads his troops like brothers and loves his soldiers like his own son. The Zajia family admires him deeply."

The two commanders felt relieved and stood up.

The men of the Wuxiang Guards, holding torches and wearing armor, walked out of the palace gate neatly and watched a long dragon-like procession exit the palace gate.

"Jinling's left-behind commander, Gui Yifu, has met Marquis Luo Yun and Eunuch Zhao. Eunuch Zhao is well."

There was also some shadow in my heart. This was the border army outside the Guan Dynasty, the one known as the number one army in the world. After looking at the people behind me, I couldn't help but shake my head secretly, unable to look away.

"What the Marquis said is absolutely true. The Za family also wants to meet an old acquaintance and see what he has to say."

When Gui Yifu heard the order from the Imperial Army that he could go in, he also waved his hand and led the troops from the Jinling Imperial City Division into the old palace.

As soon as they entered the palace gate, they saw tens of thousands of people gathered on the school field not far away, as well as a large number of cavalry. There were also many people from the Imperial City Division, especially the cavalry. They were extremely evil and were naturally elites who had fought for a long time.

Zhang Jinyu sat on the horse, feeling calm. He controlled Jinling City first, and then slowly checked the rest, and then scanned the rest of the people in the school grounds.

"you."

Gui Yifu naturally had nothing nice to say. It was not the eunuch's turn to make the decision here.
