Chapter 660: The Yao Army crossing the border (2)
Translator: 549690339
As for a state city like Chuzhou, which was close to the border, with the help of the North vanquishing Prince, the number of guards reached 36000.
These 36,000 men were the troops that the North vanquishing Prince could command in a short period of time. As for the guard stations all over Chuzhou, the North vanquishing Prince could also command them as the chief of the Chuzhou Army, but he had to go through a procedure.
The seal of the commander of Chuzhou City!
Yang Yan and censor Liu sat on their horses and basked in the scorching sun for two hours. The horses they were riding were so hot that their noses were snorting.
Censor Liu was listless. His lips were chapped as he lay on the horse’s back. He said weakly,”Yang Jinluo, I, let’s go back. I’m almost dried up.”
At this moment, a guard came out with his hand on the hilt of his saber and said in a clear voice, “”Lord Commander, please enter.”
Censor Liu felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He let out a breath of turbid air, then rolled and crawled off his horse.
The two of them followed the guards into the military camp, passing through barracks after barracks, and arrived at a large courtyard with two entrances. After entering the courtyard, he met the commander of the Chu Prefecture city, the country protector, que Yongxiu, in the living room.
Que Yongxiu had a pretty good appearance. His facial features were handsome, and he had a short beard. However, he was blind in one eye, and the only eye he had was sharp and unruly.
He sat on the big chair with a teacup in his hand and stared coldly at Yang Yan with his single eye. “Isn’t this Wei Yuan’s son? what are you doing in my camp?” The son of night moth was his adopted son, but the former had a hint of mockery.
Yang Yan naturally wouldn’t get angry because of this. Without even blinking, he said indifferently, ‘”‘To investigate a case.”
“Investigate what case?” que Yongxiu asked despite already Imowing the answer.
Yang Yan’s tone was cold. massacre 3000 miles. I want to see the record of the Chuzhou guards leaving the camp.
The reason why they started their investigation from the Chuzhou guards was that the diplomatic mission had arrived at the Northern Territory. Naturally, they had to come to Chuzhou City first. Then, there were the 36000 Chu Wei soldiers, all of whom were the North vanquishing Prince’s trusted aides.
They were also the main force of Chu Zhou city’s Army.
The barbarians had slaughtered thousands of people. North vanquishing Prince would definitely send out troops to fight, and the records of the troops leaving the camp would be the evidence. The mobilization of the Army was a cumbersome task.
It wasn’t that they left the camp just because they said so. The corresponding supplies, equipment, and so on could be traced.
Due to the North vanquishing Prince’s control over the Chu Prefecture city, he might not have left behind any clues. However, he still had to investigate. Otherwise, the diplomatic corps could only drink tea and sleep in the courier station.
“What bloody massacre?”
Que Yongxiu slapped the table and stood up, giving censor Liu a fright.
The country protecting Duke strode in front of Yang Yan, pointed at his nose, and scolded, ” I have followed North vanquishing Prince for more than ten years and guarded the Chu province. You, the son of a Wei eunuch, investigated me just like that? ”
Yang Yan didn’t respond and just looked at him expressionlessly.
“When I was killing the enemy at the front line and guarding the border, you were lying on the bed of a beautiful woman in the capital. Now, you’re here to tell me that you’re going to slaughter three thousand li? pfft, go back and tell Wei Yuan, tell that bunch of sour scholars who only know how to write, that they want to frame me and King Huai, in their dreams.”
“Now, go back to where you came from,” the state protector, que Yongxiu, sneered.
Imperial censor Liu flew into a rage and pointed at que Yongxiu. “Duke protector-general, we are here to investigate the case. Do you dare to disobey?”
Que Yongxiu put on a fake smile and said, “When censor Liu returns to the capital, he can impeach this Duke.”
He was just that crazy.
Censor Liu’s face twitched in anger, but there was nothing he could do. He was neither the host nor the Inspector-General, so he had no right to punish the Duke of protector.
It was even more impossible for him to meet force with force in Chuzhou. He did not have the capital to do so. All he could do was to fiercely impeach the country protector after he returned to the capital.
“Let’s go!”
Yang Yan turned around and was about to leave.
Censor Liu’s anger had almost reached its peak. He had been exposed to the scorching sun for two hours, suffering in unbearable pain. He had finally managed to enter the military camp, but the other party had deliberately allowed him in so that he could take the opportunity to humiliate him.
There was no way he could investigate the case.
“Wait!”
Que Yongxiu suddenly called out to the two of them. When Yang Yan turned around, the corners of his mouth curled up. Yang Yan, you failed to protect the princess Consort and were captured by the barbarians. Her whereabouts are still unknown.
“King Huai was furious, but he didn’t pursue the matter for Wei Yuan’s sake. But if you admit your mistake and kneel outside the camp for four hours, I’ll make an exception and let you check the Guard’s record of leaving the camp.”
As he said this, que Yongxiu’s lips curled into a cold smile, and he didn’t bother to hide his provocation.
“You’re going too far.” Censor Liu’s hair stood on end in anger. He was about to show the Civil official’s battle of words and let this boorish martial man experience how all the women in his family had lost their chastity without him knowing.
However, he was stopped by Yang Yan’s gaze.
The two of them turned to leave, and que Yongxiu’s savage laughter rang out behind them.
“This is simply too much, too much …” Censor Liu was so angry that he was about to have a heart attack. His lips trembled.
“After we return to the capital, I will let this ignorant man know the power of a scholar’s Pen.” he’s deliberately provoking me, ” Yang Yan said lightly. he wants to kill us.
“How do you know?” censor Liu was shocked.
Yang Yan didn’t answer. As he mounted his horse, he lowered his voice.
“The 3000 -mile bloody massacre might be more difficult than we thought. Xu Qi ‘an’s decision was right. He secretly headed north and left the diplomatic mission. If he was still in the diplomatic corps, he would not be able to do anything.
“And with his unforgiving nature, he’ll easily fall into que Yongxiu’s trap. Here, he can’t win against the country protecting Duke and the North vanquishing Prince. The only outcome for him is death.”
Censor Liu’s face paled, and then he restrained all his emotions. His tone was unprecedentedly solemn.”With Xu yinluo’s intelligence, I don’t think so..”
