Early in the morning, the Thousand Bull Guard camp blew the horn as usual. The speed at which they gathered was very lax. Many soldiers walked lazily, and some even didn't wear their clothes. They just wanted to finish this formality as soon as possible and go back to sleep.
But soon, the Thousand Bull Guard noticed something different today. Usually, Xue Chuyu and Cheng Qizhi would stand on the platform and scold them.
But today, Xue Shao had come personally and was equipped with a knife. Xue Chuyu and Cheng Qizhi stood upright at the side like sharp swords.
Under the platform, sixteen large army drums were neatly arranged, and the flags were fluttering in the wind. It was like a field army preparing for battle!
Seeing this, many people realized that something big was going to happen today. They quickly quickened their pace and did not dare to delay.
The Thousand Bull Guards on Wu Chengsi's side were completely indifferent, certain that Xue Shao wouldn't dare to touch them.
After the team was assembled, they began to count the number of people. There were 11 people missing.
"Bring her here." Xue Shao was not in a hurry to get angry and ordered indifferently.
Liu Yi immediately brought people to look for them, because Xue Shao had already asked him to investigate the living places of these people, so he quickly kidnapped them. They were naked, and these people were actually all detained prostitutes and did not return overnight.
Some people began to discuss.
"Isn't Xue Shao here to dawdle? What's wrong with him today? Could it be that His Majesty was going to examine it? No, I didn't receive any notice."
"From the looks of it, I know that a new official will definitely burn a few fires!”
"I really don't believe that he dared to offend General Wu.”
"That's true! If he dares to mess around, we brothers will fight him to the death! Pull this trash off the stage and let General Wu return!”
"That's right, that's right!"
……
"Silence!"
Xue Shao suddenly shouted angrily, causing a sandstorm to rise in all directions. It was quite powerful, and it gave these Thousand Bull Guards a fright.
However, the drunkard was not afraid at all, looking at Xue Shao fearlessly.
Xue Shao knew all of these people. They were Wu Chengsi's trusted aides. Their ancestors had once fought on the battlefield and made meritorious contributions, but their families had fallen and were considered the orphans of martyrs. They had only become the Thousand Ox Guard because of their ancestors 'support. True nobles looked down on the Wu family, a merchant family, so Wu Chengsi could only recruit these people. Even so, they still had some connections with the officials of the court and could not be easily touched. However, with the Emperor's instructions, there was no harm in killing these people.
The leader was called Chen Liu, Wu Chengsi's brother-in-law.
"Why didn't the eleven of you gather?”Xue Shao asked calmly.
" Uh..." Chen Liu struggled to get up from the ground. She first let out a stinky burp, then smiled and said," I'm sorry, General Xue. We drank too much and slept too much. Will you forgive us?"”
"Yes, that's right!" The person behind him smiled cheekily and echoed.
Xue Shao's gaze gradually turned cold as he shouted at Liu Yi,"List out their crimes!"”
Liu Yi met Xue Shao's eyes and knew that Xue Shao was really angry. He did not dare to hide the fact that " Chen Liu bullied the people, used his power to seek official positions, secretly escaped from the army, brought prostitutes into the camp…"
There were more than a dozen crimes, big and small. This was simply a malignant tumor!
"How should we deal with it according to the law?"
When Xue Shao questioned him, Wu Chengsi's faction knew that the situation was bad!
Liu Yi stammered, afraid that Xue Shao would really do so.
"Speak!" Xue Shao's stern shout shocked Liu Yi until he was dumbfounded!
"According to the law, he should be beheaded!"
" Haha, Xue Shao, you dare…" Chen Liu laughed loudly.
Chen Liu's head had already rolled five feet away, leaving only a headless body twitching on the ground. Blood spurted wildly from his neck! Blood splattered three feet.
Chen Ran's head was still hanging with a contemptuous smile. He completely didn't expect Xue Shao to really dare to kill him!
Xue Shao stood next to Chen Liu's corpse with a cold expression. The Thousand Bull Imperial Saber in his hand was unsheathed and glinting with a cold light. A drop of blood slowly dripped from the tip of the saber onto the ground, and the sound was crisp and clear.
The Thousand Bull Guards on Wu Chengsi's side were all as silent as cicadas in winter, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
After a moment, the remaining ten people regained their senses, trembling non-stop, meeting Xue Shao's devilish eyes, they were extremely terrified.
"We are the Thousand Bull Guards personally appointed by His Majesty. How dare you kill us so casually? Brothers, this is obviously a personal vendetta. It's because we didn't listen to him. We belong to the emperor! Rebel him!"
Hearing this, the people below moved.
"Yin…"
The Thousand Bull Imperial Saber in Xue Shao's hand hummed in the wind as he slashed out again, beheading the person who had spoken. All the Thousand Bull Guards present shuddered in fear.
Xue Shao raised the Thousand Ox Imperial Saber and the pardon order high up in the air and shouted sternly,"Anyone who dares to touch a half-step cultivator will be killed without mercy!"”
Xue Chuyu raised her sword and Cheng Qizhi raised his horse lance.”
The remaining nine people were so scared that they peed their pants. They hurriedly begged for mercy," General Xue, we were wrong. Spare us, spare us…"
Xue Shao completely ignored him and coldly said," A country has its laws, and an army has its rules. According to the eighteen articles of the Great Tang's military law, you should be beheaded. Considering that you are accomplices and have protected His Majesty, you will be pardoned and stripped of your identity as a Thousand Bull Guard. You will be given fifty strokes of the cane!”
"Military discipline is strict, and the Thousand Bull Guards are His Majesty's personal guards, so they must strictly abide by it.”Xue Shao cut a wooden stake in half.
