"Your Highness, there's someone outside the manor asking to see you. He claims to be from Grand Marshal Gao's manor.”
Just as Zhao Gou, Gao Qiu, and Tong Guan were laughing and drinking, a servant from King Kang's Imperial Residence came in to report.
Zhao Gou put down his wine glass and waved his hand with a smile.""The people from Grand Commandant Gao's residence have all found this place. It must be an urgent matter.”
Gao Qiu immediately laughed." Your Highness, you must be joking. What urgent matter could this old man have? I'm just a servant sent to inquire about news in the western part of the capital."
Besides, Yang Zaixing should be the one anxious!
The camp in the west of the capital had no soldiers or pay. There were only a group of old, weak, women, and children. Yang Zaixing was alone there.
In the court meeting in two days, we can use this to accuse Yang Zaixing of embezzling military pay and not managing the army strictly, causing the army to flee!
If you threaten those lowly soldiers who work in my manor to testify, even His Majesty can't protect Yang Zaixing!”
Gao Qiu's eyes flashed with a cunning glint. He actually wanted the villain to complain first.
Majesty Kang, Zhao Gou, who knew the inside story, also smiled proudly."My brother thought that he had found a good place for Yang Zaixing, but he didn't know that the name list was just an empty shell!
Two days later, after I defeat Yang Zaixing, the prestige of my royal brother will come to an end!”
Zhao Gou's face was filled with schadenfreude, and deep in his eyes, there was a deep fire of ambition!
In fact, the reason he invited Gao Qiu and Tong Guan today was to poach Retired Emperor Zhao Ji and win over these two titans of the Great Song Army.
Once Gao Qiu and Tong Guan were willing to submit to Zhao Gou, in addition to the soldiers under Zhao Gou's control, it would be equivalent to having all of Great Song's military power in his hands.
At that time, Zhao Gou would no longer need to care about others. It was even possible for him to imitate his ancestor, Zhao Kuangyin, and have Chen Qiao mutiny!
As they spoke, the servant from the Gao Qiu Residence had already arrived at the hall.
When Gao Qiu saw him, he smiled confidently and said,""Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on Yang Zaixing? Did Yang Zaixing get dumbfounded when he arrived at the camp in the west of Beijing?”
However, he didn't expect that the moment that person opened his mouth, he would cry,""No, Grand Commandant, something bad has happened!
Yang Zaixing led the 1,000 soldiers from the West Capital Camp to smash our Gao family's manor, kill Butler Gao, and let go of the thousands of soldiers who were working!
On the way to deliver the message, this lowly one met with Gao Yamen, who had already dispatched the left wing of the Dragon Martial Army to Gao Manor to quell the rebellion!”
The words of the messenger caused Gao Qiu's originally smug face to stiffen.
When Gao Qiu regained his senses, his face was filled with rage. He immediately smashed the wine cup in his hand."How dare you, Yang Zaixing, destroy my manor!”
At this moment, Gao Qiu hated Yang Zaixing to the core. This was because not only did he cause Gao Qiu to lose face in front of Zhao Gou and Tong Guan, he had also cut off one of Gao Qiu's sources of income!
Zhao Gou and Tong Guan were also slightly shocked. They did not expect Yang Zaixing to be so decisive. He had destroyed Gao Qiu's manor without a word.
However, Zhao Gou's eyes flashed.""There's no need to be angry, Grand Commandant Gao. Yang Zaixing's actions are undoubtedly a rebellion and a domineering act.
Yang Zaixing's crime was revealed in the court!”
Tong Guan also chimed in,"That's right, Grand Commandant. Since Yamen has already brought the left wing of the Dragon Martial Army to quell the rebellion, those soldiers won't cause any trouble."
The Dragon Martial Army was the imperial army of the capital under the emperor's feet. No matter how domineering Yang Zaixing was, he would not dare to attack the Dragon Martial Army!
We can only surrender!"
When Gao Qiu heard this, his face regained some calmness. He sneered and said,""That's true!
When my son and the Dragon Martial Army take down Yang Zaixing, I'll first make him go through a beating with a stick until he's crippled, and then throw him to the imperial court for His Majesty to see!”
At this moment, another servant from the Gao family who had escaped from the Gao family manor barged into the Kang family's Imperial Residence with a bruised face. He cried out in panic,"Grand Commandant, trouble!
Young Master Gao led the Dragon Martial Army to quell the rebellion, but was kicked to death by Yang Zaixing!
Chen Tingli had killed the Duke of Duyu, Lu Qian, and joined Yang Zaixing!
The grain and silver in our courtyard were all looted by Yang Zaixing and his men!”
Boom!
This series of news was like cannonballs that smashed into Gao Qiu's ears. It made Gao Qiu feel as if the world was spinning and his head was buzzing!
His vision suddenly turned black!
Zhao Gou and Tong Guan also jumped up from their seats in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Yang Zaixing actually killed Young Master Gao and summoned the Dragon Martial Army to surrender!
The Dragon Martial Army was the imperial guards of the Imperial City. How dare he!”
Tong Guan gasped.
Zhao Gou, on the other hand, was overjoyed after recovering from his shock."Yang Zaixing dared to recruit the Imperial Army for his own use. This is equivalent to treason!
Just this alone could destroy Yang Zai's reputation and shatter his bones!
This time, he's dead!"
"Puff!"
By Zhao Gou's side, Grand Commandant Gao Qiu couldn't take the repeated blows of his manor being smashed, his face being greatly damaged, and his son being killed. He was so furious that he spat out a mouthful of blood, which splashed all over the main hall of King Kang's Imperial Residence.
"Damn you, Yang Zaixing! If you dare to kill my son, I'll definitely fight you to the death!”
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Gao Qiu's vision and consciousness gradually recovered.
His old eyes were red like a bloodthirsty wolf as he swore to the sky. His face was filled with endless killing intent!
Gao Qiu only had one son.
Now that his only son had been killed by Yang Zaixing, Gao Qiu would no longer have any descendants. How could he not hate Yang Zaixing?
In stark contrast to Gao Qiu's grief and indignation, the West Capital Camp was bustling with activity.
This time, he had obtained enough food for ten thousand soldiers to last for three months, as well as a hundred thousand copper coins.
Not only was the West Capital Camp renovated, but Yang Zaixing had also distributed a portion of the military pay that had been delayed for many years. At least, it was enough for the families of these soldiers to survive the winter.
The old, weak, women, and children in the army were sent to his estate by Yang Zaixing. Meanwhile, the West Capital Camp welcomed the long-awaited sound of training!
With the help of the Dragon Martial Army, the training of the Imperial Army in the west of the capital was quickly on the right track.
Yang Zaixing looked at the camp that had regained its vitality, and his expression was calm.
To him and the West Capital Camp, this was only the beginning.
Even though he had received 100,000 strings of money from the Gao Village and had given them to the soldiers as military pay.
However, compared to the military pay and the hard-earned money of the soldiers that Gao Qiu had embezzled, it was far from enough!
Yang Zaixing already had a plan in his mind on how to get back the money and pay the price he deserved!
Looking in the direction of Bianliang, Yang Zaixing smiled and said,""Old bastard Gao Qiu, your doomsday…has arrived!”
