Qin Wei led five hundred Zhenwu Division soldiers quickly through the streets and arrived in front of the Chengguo Duke's mansion.
At this time, the door in front of Duke Chengguo's mansion was open, and there were many guests who came to visit at the door, but these guests seemed a little unhappy.
Not to mention seeing Duke Cheng Guo, they couldn't even enter through the gate of Duke Cheng Guo's Mansion. They just delivered the gifts to the gatekeepers of Duke Cheng Guo's Mansion.
As one of the four great princes, one can imagine the power of the Chengguo Duke in Kyoto, especially in the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion. Cheng Guogong also holds the position of Commander-in-Chief, and many generals in the army are Chengguo
A close confidant of the public.
As the Duke holds real power, there are naturally many people who want to follow the path of the Duke's Palace and have a good future.
Therefore, on weekdays, the Chengguo Duke's Mansion is full of people, with cars and horses coming and going like a stream.
Qin Wei rode a horse to the gate of Chengguo Gong, looking at the long row of carriages, an icy cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Surround it up!"
"Here!"
Immediately, five hundred soldiers marched in neat steps and surrounded the entire Chengguo Duke's Mansion.
The crossbow was cocked, and the arrow shone with an icy sheen, pointing straight into the Duke Cheng's mansion across the wall.
The Chengguo Duke's palace was very large, even larger than Qin Wei's princely palace. The pavilions and pavilions were exquisite and gorgeous. There were hundreds of servants and maids in the palace, and there were even three hundred guards.
You must know that Qin Wei's county prince's palace only has more than 80 guards.
The sudden arrival of the Zhenwu Division caused a commotion inside and outside the Duke Cheng's mansion.
The guests who came to visit and give gifts were shocked at first, and then dispersed one after another.
"What's going on?"
Among the guests, Xia Wenyu was riding on horseback and asked the attendant next to him.
Xia Wenyu was originally a general in Bianzhen. He returned to Beijing this time because his term of office had expired and he needed to be transferred again.
In Dali, military generals need to follow the system of official transfer, that is, a term of five years. After the expiration of the term, they need to evaluate their merits together with the Ministry of War, the Fifth Military Governor's Office and the Inspectorate, and then be transferred or promoted.
This system prevents generals from cultivating cronies in the army and supporting their troops with self-respect.
The system is good, but due to the corruption of court officials in recent years, this system has gradually become a formality, and has even become a means for some people to fight for power and gain.
Xia Wenyu is a capable general, and he does not want to be a tool used by some people to fight for power, but reality forces him to surrender.
In order to get a job, he had to come to Chengguo Palace to pay homage to the mountain.
It's a pity that he didn't have much to offer. Before he came, he was still a little nervous. This gift was already his entire wealth. If he didn't get the approval of the Duke of Chengguo, all these gifts would be in vain.
If you don't, the days to come will be miserable.
"Those seem to be the troops of the Zhenwu Division?" the attendant replied.
"People from Zhenwu Division!" Xia Wenyu was a little surprised.
He had just returned to Beijing three days ago and did not know much about the situation in Kyoto, but he had also heard about the turmoil caused by the establishment of Zhenwu Division.
"Come on, let's stay away!"
Xia Wenyu did not leave, but retreated to a distance to observe the next movement.
He was a little curious about what Zhenwu Si came to the Chengguo Palace.
At this time, there were many curious people like Xia Wenyu. Although everyone left in front of the Chengguo Palace, they did not go far away. Instead, they hid in the street and observed Zhenwu Si's every move.
…
Dongcheng Military and Horse Division.
Luo Yuan was sitting in the lobby drinking tea leisurely.
Ever since the Zhenwu Division was established, his life has been very difficult. He had no choice but to suddenly have an evil mother-in-law on his head, and his little daughter-in-law could only feel aggrieved.
Even the Ministry of War was unwilling to step forward to suppress the Zhenwu Division, so naturally he, a military commander, did not dare to resist the Zhenwu Division's control.
As long as the Zhenwu Division takes action, they will come to him.
Fortunately, in the past few days, Zhenwu Si's attention had been focused on the three major sects, so he felt a little more relaxed. He didn't have to serve the Zhenwu Si's uncle every day.
But the leisurely time seemed a bit short.
"Sir, it's not good!"
A rapid shout came from outside the lobby door, which made Luo Yuan tremble. The hot tea in his hand spilled on his leg, and he jumped up in pain.
"You bastard, why are you yelling?"
While patting the tea on his lap, he shouted angrily at the soldiers who ran in.
"Sir, it's not good, the troops from the Zhenwu Division have come to the east city!" the soldier said with panic on his face.
Who is the person in Kyoto who is most afraid of Zhenwu Si?
Not the dignitaries of the court, nor the martial arts warriors among the people, but the soldiers of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.
They used to show off their power to the ordinary people in Kyoto City, but now because of the existence of the Zhenwu Division, they can only behave with their tail between their legs.
Moreover, every time the Zhenwu Division makes a move, the Five Cities Military and Horse Divisions will suffer the consequences. It’s not enough to suffer, but they will also take risks.
This is what they fear the most when it comes to beating and killing.
When Luo Yuan heard this, he shuddered and asked, "Why are they coming to Dongcheng?"
"The Prince of Xin'an County personally led the team, and they went to Chengguo Duke's Mansion!" the soldier replied.
Luo Yuan's face couldn't help but turn pale.
Cheng Guogongfu!
It’s over, it’s over!
Why did you go to Chengguo Duke's Mansion?
What does Prince Xin'an want to do again?
He didn't have much contact with Qin Wei, but he knew Qin Wei's style of doing things very well. After all, Zhenwu Division had tormented them a lot before.
He didn't need to think too much to know that it was definitely not a good thing for Qin Wei to go to the Duke Cheng's Mansion.
"Hurry up, help me back home!"
He said with a little weakness in his legs.
Whether it was the Zhenwu Division or the Duke of Chengguo, he could not afford to offend them.
Not to mention provoking it, even if he was involved, he was afraid of being crushed to death.
So what he wants to do most now is to hide and stay far away from the Zhenwu Division and Chengguo Duke's Mansion.
The soldier hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "Sir, if you return home at this time, if the uncle of the Zhenwu Division comes, I'm afraid there will be no good fruit to eat!"
The soldiers did not forget to collect sources in advance.
Luo Yuan wanted to cry but had no tears, and it seemed that hiding would not work.
If someone from the Zhenwu Division came to look for him and he hid, it would be equivalent to offending the Zhenwu Division.
It would be strange if the Zhenwu Division doesn't take care of him when the time comes.
"What should we do?"
"Sir, don't panic. The people from the Zhenwu Division didn't come to see us. Maybe Prince Xin'an won't need us." This little soldier is quite smart.
Luo Yuan thought slightly, "You are right."
"We, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, are not even qualified to be cannon fodder against the Chengguo Government."
"Prince Xin'an probably won't appoint us."
Although he said this, he was still a little uneasy in his heart.
"You immediately take a few people to Duke Cheng's Mansion to keep an eye on it. If there is any movement, come back and report immediately." Luo Yuan arranged.
It was definitely impossible to hide. He could only pray that the Zhenwu Division would not use them at this time.
"Yes, little one, go right away!" the soldier responded.
When the soldiers left, Luo Yuan paced back and forth in the hall, full of anxiety and uneasiness.
