On the other side, in the Qian Public House!
Wei Zhongxian led a thousand East Chamber barbarians and surrounded the manor that had been passed down for hundreds of years!
"Duke of Qian, I have received His Majesty's decree to invite you to the palace for a chat!”
Facing the spears of dozens of guards, Wei Zhongxian's expression did not change. He continued to move forward unhurriedly!
The guards retreated again and again until they reached the threshold.
"Eunuch Wei, the High Duke is not in the manor. Please leave!”
The old guard with a long scar on his face held a worn-out spear and said in a deep voice.
If it was a battlefield, he would attack without hesitation!
"The imperial edict is here!"
Tens of old guards formed an army formation. Wei Zhongxian vaguely sensed a hint of threat. He took out the yellow imperial edict and scolded,"Veterans, retreat!"
A hint of struggle appeared in the veteran's eyes, but he instantly became determined and took a step forward.""The order of the Duke, advance without retreat!"
"Impudent!"
Wei Zhongxian was furious. He moved his feet lightly and grabbed the scarred veteran. He said with killing intent,"Disobeying the decree, die!"
He turned his claws into palms and slapped the scarred veteran's chest.
Immediately, the veteran's chest caved in, and several of his ribs were broken. He coughed out large mouthfuls of blood. It was obvious that he would not survive.
"Attack!"
Wei Zhongxian turned around and gave the order!
The thousand barbarians took out their divine crossbows and loaded them with specially made bolts. The head of the East Military Yard said coldly,""Shoot!"
Peerless in close combat!
The Ming Dynasty Divine Crossbow!
The seasoned soldiers were very familiar with it. In the past, on the battlefield, they had used this " divine weapon " to kill countless golden men!
The offense and defense were reversed. The seasoned soldiers reflexively made the most correct defensive formation. They squatted down in a semicircle and threw back!
The final strike!
The seasoned soldiers were extremely clear about this, and they even used the power of sucking milk. However, at the last moment, when they saw the young faces of the foreigners, they tacitly withdrew their strength.
Puff!
Puff!
Puff!
……
The dull sound of arrows piercing into bodies rang out endlessly as the veterans fell one after another!
"Old friend, see you in the next life!"
The scarred veteran dragged his dying body back to the veterans. Before he died, he whispered into the ears of a veteran.
The entire team was wiped out!
Unsurprisingly, they were wiped out!
Wei Zhongxian was not as excited as he was when he completed the imperial edict. He was extremely depressed and sighed."Collect the corpse and send it back to the guard station!"
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty all came from military households and belonged to their respective divisions.
"Yes, sir!"
The head of the East Hall looked at the spear that had passed by him and wiped the sweat off his forehead. These old killers were not only sharp, but also ruthless!
After invading the Duke of Qian's Public House, Wei Zhongxian walked straight to the main hall. He looked at Mu Changzuo, who was drinking tea happily, and killing intent surged in his heart.
"The Great Ancestor once said,'The Duke of the Great Ming Dynasty changes from generation to generation and rests with the country'. Those who attack the Duke's estate for no reason will be executed by a thousand cuts. Eunuch Wei, have you thought of how to die?”
As the Duke of Qian, the head of the former military governor's office, and one of the top ten figures in the Ming army, Mu Changzuo maintained his composure and confidence at all times.
The emperor's order?
What could a sixteen-year-old Young Empress know?
It must be those factions in the court causing trouble again. This time, he had to teach the literati group a lesson!
"The imperial edict has arrived. Duke of Qian, Mu Changzuo, accepts the edict!”
Wei Zhongxian's eyes were indifferent as he took out the imperial edict again and said coldly.
"Your subject, Mu Changzuo, accepts the decree!"
"In accordance with the will of the heavens, the emperor has issued an edict saying: Duke of Qian Mu Changzuo, the head of the former military governor's office. His corpse is in a plain position, and his virtue does not match his position. He will be stripped of his title and escorted to the warm pavilion.”
After Wei Zhongxian finished reading, he said condescendingly,"Duke of Qian, accept the decree and follow me!”
"Impossible!"
"Your Majesty must have been bewitched by treacherous officials. The Duke is the pillar of the country, how can he be stripped of his power with a word?”
Mu Changzuo's calm expression turned ferocious as he said venomously,""Men, bring me the Tiger Tally. This Duke wants to purge the side of the ruler today!”
Pa!
Wei Zhongxian rubbed his reddened palms and stepped on the half-pig-faced High Duke. He snorted coldly and said,"Duke Qian, this is the capital. The three battalions of Shenji and the four guards of Tengxiang respect the Emperor. You really have the nerve to use the Emperor's army to come to the Qing Emperor's side!”
Needless to say, stepping on the High Duke felt great!
Compared to the high and mighty civil officials, these generals had the courage to do anything. They looked down on eunuchs who had no balls. It wasn't just a day or two that Wei Zhongxian had wanted to stir up trouble among the noble generals!
"Take him away!"
Having his fill, Wei Zhongxian reluctantly withdrew his foot and left the Public House, ignoring the cursing High Duke.
Five armies, five dukes!
The former military governor's office, Duke of Qian Mu Changzuo!
Left Army Governor's Office, Duke of Cheng Zhu Chunchen!
Right Army Governor's Office, Duke Dingguo Xu Wenbi!
Central Army Governor's Office, Han Country Duke Li Miaoqi!
Xu Hongji, Duke of Wei!
Wei Zhongxian and Liu Qiao's soldiers were captured separately and gathered in front of the Duke of Wei's Mansion. However, Liu Qiao was covered in blood and seemed to have just experienced a huge battle!
"The Duke of Han built a private army of 500 at home, all of whom were elites. In the end, he even brought out siege crossbows. I'm afraid he had the intention to rebel long ago.”
Sensing the strange look in his companion's eyes, Liu Qiao was a little annoyed and explained,"If it wasn't for the divine crossbow that His Majesty had given me in the past, I would have died under that siege crossbow today!”
As he spoke, Liu Qiao took out the imperial crossbows. With two arrows missing, he took the lives of two elite soldiers in the Han Country.
In fact, when Li Miaoqi took out the siege crossbow, Liu Qiao felt that he was dead for sure. Before he died, Liu Qiao took out the crossbow in his arms. With the mentality of death and curiosity, he shot at the elite soldier who was using the siege crossbow.
The effect completely shocked Liu Qiao. He shot out another arrow and killed another elite soldier. Before the siege crossbow could be pulled, the remaining elite soldiers were all killed by the Embroidered Uniform Guards who rushed forward with their Embroidered Spring Swords.
"However, how are you going to explain the Duke's appearance?”
Wei Zhongxian pointed at the horses not far away, and the corners of his mouth twitched. The Brocade Guards were a bunch of boors, messing around!
The Duke of Han was tied to the horse's butt and dragged along. Looking at his half-dead appearance, he probably had half a life left.
Liu Qiao was slightly stunned. Then, he ran over in a hurry and called for the accompanying medical officer to treat him.
The gates of the Duke of Wei Residence were closed. Wei Zhongxian personally walked over and knocked on the door.
The country's dukedom had been stripped away, so it was even more necessary to treat them with courtesy. A dying poisonous snake was the most vigilant.
The door of the mansion opened, revealing the head of the butler of the Xu mansion. He said,"Eunuch Wei, the High Duke has personally gone to the Imperial Palace and ordered that no one in the residence is allowed to leave. Please return!”
F * ck!
A big fish walked right into the net!
