"People are dead, don't they let go? They've been deceiving people too much." after hearing the inspection report, LV GUI roared angrily.

But without waiting for him to get angry, a subordinate outside the door reported that Yang Chendong, the loyal and courageous Marquis, had come with 100 officers and soldiers of the five City Army and horse department. They had passed through the porter and were coming to the courtyard.

On hearing that Yang Chendong was coming, LV GUI immediately guessed the intention of the other party and said anxiously, "who let them in, won't you stop them?"

"Commander, you can't stop it. Lord Yang has the royal guards' commander token in his hand, and no one dares to stop it, brothers." the royal guards who reported the news replied with a wronged face.

"This... Tell him that I'm not here." Lv GUI looked around as he said. It was clear that he wanted to find a safe place to hide.

"Bang!" with a dull sound, the gate was kicked open from the outside. Yang Chendong, with a murderous face, appeared in front of LV GUI with hundreds of soldiers of the five cities army and horse department.

"Ah!" first there was a scream, but soon LV GUI reacted. He was calm and said to Yang Chendong in a questioning tone: "Lord Yang, what are you doing? Take someone into royal guards. Do you know what the crime is?"

Tough in appearance and weak in heart, it describes LV GUI's appearance at the moment.

For LV GUI's howling and questioning, the officers and soldiers of the five cities army and horse division standing opposite were sneering. It's a glorious thing to be able to follow Zhong Dan hou to the royal guards this time. With today's experience, I'm afraid I'll blow it with my colleagues in the future.

In the past, it was the royal guards who made trouble for them. Everyone served as soldiers and ate food, but the treatment was very different. Now it's different with Yang Chendong. He openly rushed into the royal guards. What a prestige it is. It makes people's blood boil when you think about it.

LV GUI is still shouting and playing with authority, or even playing with scoundrels. Yang Chendong sneered and said, "as the commander of the royal guards, you still have the face to say Ben Hou. Do you know that some brothers of the royal guards went to the trouble of mercenaries last night, so they almost hurt their people. Now they want to tell us. How do you say I should answer?"

When Yang Chendong asked, LV GUI was a lot weaker. But thinking that Han Zhi and they are all dead, there is no proof of their mission, and the confidence came again, "what does this have to do with my official? Han Zhi and they are private practices. If you want to say something, just find them."

"Find them, thanks to your ability to say. Do you let Ben Hou quarrel with the dead?" Yang Chendong continued to be angry. But then he suddenly stopped, and his voice became a lot indifferent, "well, you can't admit it. Now those mercenaries asked Ben hou to give a statement, and said that if they couldn't be satisfied, they would leave the capital immediately. If the warla army came, it's up to you to meet the enemy, hum!"

As soon as he said the seriousness of the matter, Yang Chendong stopped talking nonsense and turned around and left. It really comes and goes in a hurry.

Yang Chendong left like this. LV GUI couldn't understand it. But at the thought of what others finally said, if the mercenaries really leave, who will bear and be responsible for the protection of the capital? Point to yourself?

It's not that he despises himself. LV GUI really doesn't have the confidence to do it well. Think that Yingzong with 500000 troops and governor Shiheng with more than 100000 troops were defeated. Why could he win vara?

"Wait, Zhongdan Hou, wait a minute." considering the seriousness of the matter, LV GUI had to shout and ran out at high speed. If Yang Chendong is allowed to leave, I'm afraid his guilt will be too great.

Of course, Yang Chendong won't go too fast. Keeping the capital and defeating vara was originally part of his plan. Even if no one begged him, he also wanted to do it. What I said just now is just to scare the other party, but also to win more interests. How can we really let mercenaries leave because of this? How could vara really be allowed to bully the Han people?

After waiting for LV GUI's cry from behind, Yang Chendong naturally stopped, but when he looked back, he asked with a serious face: "What does the commander call me to do? You don't know what I'm doing. I'll ask father-in-law Jin. If he doesn't care, I'll let mercenaries leave. I can just put down the burden of guarding the capital. Alas, I'm still too young. I used some righteousness when I first took the job."

After listening to Yang Chendong's words, LV GUI was even more stunned. When he heard that there would be such serious consequences, he knew better that he could not carry it. At that moment, his face became a little more smiling, "Don't worry, Mr. Yang. What can we discuss? Although Han Zhi's behavior is purely personal, he is not from the royal guards after all. In case of such a thing, I am also responsible. Mr. Yang, what compensation do you want? If the number is not large, I can do my best."

LV GUI recognized the advice. Yang Chendong smiled in his heart, and there was a trace of sunshine on his face. "Well, it's good to have this attitude. The mercenary has told Ben Hou about the compensation, and 500000 liang of silver can settle the matter."

With a smile on his face, LV GUI jumped up immediately after hearing the figure of 500000, "how much? This... It's impossible, no, No."

LV GUI still waved his hands there, and shouted wildly with a bitten look. Yang Chendong gave another cold hum, "it's all right. Even if there's no commander, I'll ask father-in-law Jin. If there's none, let them leave."

Yang Chendong turned and left without the slightest sense of love, which made LV Guileng there. What is the point of such a performance without an audience?

"Yang Hou, Yang Hou, don't worry, don't worry, discuss again." a cry came out, and LV GUI continued to chase after Yang Chendong.

In the palace.

Jin Ying, who has been paying attention to the situation, rushed to the emperor's bedroom as soon as she received the news. The situation in the capital is not stable. In recent days, many ministers are sending their families out of the city. In view of such complex and chaotic situation, even the early Dynasty has not been opened. With the permission of Zhu Qiyu, it has been changed from one day to three days.

Waiting for Jin Ying to arrive at the palace, Zhu Qiyu was eating the breakfast sent by the imperial dining room, "Oh, Aiqing has come. Have you had breakfast yet? Let's use it together."

The emperor asked his ministers to accompany him with breakfast, which was already a very high favor. Jin Ying was flattered. In the past, he would sit down and serve the emperor's breakfast well, but now he is really not in such a mood. "Emperor, has the matter sent to test mercenaries come to fruition?"

"What's the result?" Zhu Qiyu, who was originally indifferent, immediately stopped holding chopsticks, raised his head and asked seriously.

"Good results are also bad results." Jin Ying was looked at by Zhu Qiyu and immediately felt a panic in her heart. She didn't know how to describe what to say for a time.

"What does Aiqing mean?" Zhu Qiyu was confused by these words.

Perhaps knowing that what he described was not appropriate, Jin Ying quickly explained: "go back to the emperor. According to your will, the royal guards went to the temporary camp of mercenaries last night. A total of 11 people died. All of them fell in front of the royal guards yamen this morning. The official sent to investigate came back and said that they heard the sound of firearms over there last night."

While talking, he observed Zhu Qiyu. When he found that he was listening carefully, he continued to preach: "This is good news. Facts have proved that this mercenary really has good strength and strong vigilance. It's just... They ask us for compensation on the grounds that someone spies on the camp. They want 500000 liang of silver. At this time, Hou Zhongdan is communicating with LV GUI, the commander of the Royal Guards on behalf of the mercenary."

With Jin Ying's report, Zhu Qiyu's face was also uncertain.

When I knew that the mercenaries had good fighting power, I had more confidence in the capital's defense war. But when I heard the other party's request for compensation of 500000 liang of silver for last night's temptation, my face changed greatly and said, "can you investigate whether they died last night?"

"Back to the emperor, the loyal and courageous Marquis has given the answer. The mercenaries have no casualties, but have been disturbed." Jin Ying moved out what Yang Chendong said to LV GUI.

"No casualties? Then why did the lion open his mouth and ask for 500000 liang of silver? Do they think my silver and the silver of the national treasury fall from the world? That's unreasonable." Zhu Qiyu was angry and could see that he was a little angry.

It's true that he is the emperor of a country, and it's good to be rich all over the world. But the more so, the more he values his dignity than anything else.

The dead are the royal guards. Mercenaries not only kill people, but also want money. This is basically a threat and blackmail. As the emperor of a country, if he gives in and agrees to the other party's requirements, isn't it a sign of bow? If so, how can he command a country in the future?

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Jin Ying looked bitter and worried. The emperor wanted face, and the mercenary's behavior obviously touched the dragon scale. This is not 500000 liang of silver, but the dignity of a country.

It's supposed that mercenaries are too much. If the other party doesn't have advanced firearms, strong combat power and Jin Ying's character, he won't report such things to the emperor. Instead, he privately ordered the royal guards and east hall to arrest these people. At that time, he should tell the other party what can't be done and who can't be done Can provoke.
