Outside King Jing's mansion, countless eyes were staring at the gate.
They were all waiting for the Prince's mansion to take action.
If the other party was just making a big deal out of nothing and did not make a move on the other people who paid taxes and fined them, the four Holy Lands and the various aristocratic families would definitely not let this matter rest.
It had already been ten minutes since the official of the Imperial Residence had arrived, but there were still no signs of the army moving out.
The faces of the various deacons who were paying attention to the movements of the Imperial Residence began to slowly darken. On the other hand, the Zhangsun and Zhangsun families, as well as those aristocratic families and sects who were hoping for luck, began to smile.
Rumble…
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion.
The expressions of the deacons of the four Holy Lands and the other outposts eased slightly. As for the Zhangsun family and the deacons who were smiling just a moment ago, their expressions changed drastically.
"Coming, coming."
"Deacon, the army of the prince's mansion has been dispatched. There is the Tiger Guard led by Li Cunxiao, the general of the prince's mansion, and another thousand personal guards of the prince's mansion.”
"Deacon, Soldier Cao is in charge of Gao Shun. He led 20,000 troops to seal the four gates. Another 10,000 troops left the camp, led by Wandering Cavalry General Lu Tong to patrol the city.”
"Deacon, the Tiger Guards and the right battalion of the Yue Cavalry Battalion have split into ten teams and are heading to the Zhangsun Clan's base, as well as the shops and strongholds of the other aristocratic families and sects that have not paid up on time!”
"Right Camp Lieutenant Xu Chu, head to the Public House of Pi's garrison. The general of the Imperial Residence, Li Cunxiao, will lead his troops to the Public House of Qi's garrison.”
“…….”
The scouts sent out by the various families kept reporting the news.
After hearing this, all the deacons were silent, but they nodded in their hearts.
King Jing's Mansion kept its word, and with elites like the Tiger Guards and a general like General Li Cunxiao, White Cloud City seemed to be secure.
Rumble…
The neat sound of horse hooves rang out on the long street.
The hooves of the Tiger Guards landed and rose in unison. The hundreds of Tiger Guards seemed to be one person, and their movements were extremely orderly.
Seeing such an elite cavalry, the deacons and the others standing at the stations of the various families all sucked in a breath of cold air.
Even though this was not the first time they had seen the Tiger Guards, they were still shocked.
Furthermore, the Royal Guards of the Yue Cavalry Camp were also very elite.
Even though they were slightly weaker than the Tiger Guards, they were definitely one of the strongest armies in the world.
How did this King Jing, who was rumored to be an invisible man, manage to cultivate such an elite army in less than two months?
Or could it be that this person's existence was really a smokescreen played by the Emperor?
No one knew the thoughts of the various deacons, and no one except themselves cared.
The army advanced quickly and soon arrived at the two strongholds next to the Zhangsun Clan.
"Your Highness Feng's orders, kill!"
There was no persuasion or explanation. Xu Chu and Li Cunxiao, who were approaching from both sides of the long street, gave the order.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
After three loud shouts, the Tiger Guards and Iron Eagle Warriors behind him, under the leadership of their centurions, decanus, and sergeants, smashed the gate of the encampment and charged in.
They fought with the Zhangsun Clan warriors in the outpost.
Although the two clans were subordinate to the Zhangsun Clan, they were not regular armies. Although he had practiced some joint attack tactics, he was also equipped with a sword and shield.
However, facing the Tiger Guards and Iron Eagle Warriors who were much stronger than them, they could only bow their heads and be killed.
In just a few dozen breaths, everyone in the station, including the two Connate Blood Solidification Realm deacons, was killed.
"Report…Reporting to General, the Public House of Pi has been cleaned up. No one escaped. The goods are being counted.”
"Leave a hundred men behind to take inventory of the goods and escort them back to the residence.”
"Here!"
The Tiger Guards and the Iron Eagle Guards completed their missions almost at the same time and reported back.
Xu Chu and Li Cunxiao both gave the same order.
After that, apart from each of them leaving behind a hundred-man team, the rest of the soldiers gathered together and followed behind their respective commanders. They began to patrol the streets of the city to deter the thieves.
Tonight, the army had moved out and caused quite a commotion.
In order to prevent some people from taking the opportunity to cause trouble, other than Lu Tong leading more than ten thousand troops to patrol, Xu Chu and Li Cunxiao, who had eliminated the Zhangsun Clan, also began to patrol.
After Lu Tong received the reward, his cultivation level improved further, and he became a mid-stage Blood Solidification Realm expert.
However, it was not enough to intimidate all the warriors in White Cloud City!
Fortunately, Li Cunxiao had previously led the Tiger Guards to deter them. In addition, the martial artists in the city knew that something big was going to happen tonight, so they were considered well-behaved.
However, there were some villains who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to do something bad.
Those who were caught were immediately dragged to the streets and killed in front of the martial artists and commoners who had not slept yet!
After killing dozens of people, the other people who had other thoughts all restrained themselves.
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the shops of the aristocratic families and sects that did not listen to the order were all cleared out, and the house deeds were returned to the Imperial Residence.
The shops and houses were sealed.
After that, the Tiger Guards and the Iron Eagle Guards retreated. Other than a few thousand soldiers who remained to patrol, the rest returned to the camp to rest.
……
After the army retreated, no one dared to come out.
Because before they evacuated, they had to pass on the military order that there would be a curfew tonight. Anyone who dared to walk on the streets would be killed!
Faced with the military order from King Jing's Mansion, even the deacons of the four Holy Lands obediently stayed in their four-story buildings.
After all, they were only deacons.
According to their predictions, there were several generals in King Jing's estate who had surpassed the Marrow Cleansing realm.
However, since they knew about it now, they had no intention of telling anyone.
Of course, the sects and the like had already sent this news back when they saw Li Cunxiao, the general of the Imperial Residence.
The curfew was lifted the next day.
The warriors who were further away all headed to the East City.
When they saw the two Zhangsun Clan outposts that had been sealed but had their doors broken, they were all speechless and left silently.
When some of the commoners saw this, they were overjoyed.
In the new criminal law of the Prince's mansion, there were many clauses that protected the common people of White Cloud City.
Now, seeing how unyielding the Imperial Residence was, saying that they would annihilate them, they sent troops to surround and kill them.
It made the commoners respect White Cloud City's criminal laws and at the same time, they were filled with confidence.
Just like that, in just over ten days, King Jing and Li Lin had won the hearts of the White Cloud City's soldiers and people.
He had gained a firm foothold in his fief.
