Chapter 78

"Mobilize troops?"

"Who are you people?"

"Why are you here to mobilize troops in the middle of the night?"

Yan Maoxing was alarmed by the movement, immediately held weapons, led a team of soldiers, met them, and confronted the visitors to ask.

"Who I am is not important..."

"You just need to obey orders!"

You Xian raised his head, swept a glance at Yan Maoxing, stepped forward a few steps to stand face to face with him, and said sternly.

In his tone was unquestionable majesty.

How had Yan Maoxing ever seen such a formation? He was suppressed by this momentum, saluted, and discussed extremely respectfully: "This official, the Lord in charge has all been invited to the banquet..."

"Can you wait for them to come back, or send someone to notify them?"

Yan Maoxing was just a deputy with low status and light weight, and he didn't even have the qualifications to be invited to the banquet.

He didn't dare to offend the person in front of him at all.

Especially since he claimed to be under the order of Lord Chen Yan...

"What?"

You Xian was immediately displeased, his face sank, chilliness arose, and he sneered and asked: "The Emperor of Great Zhou bestowed upon Lord Chen Yan the power to control the military and politics of Qinzhou..."

"Could it be that even you can't be mobilized?"

Saying that, he threw out the seal given by Chen Yan and the stamped document for mobilizing troops.

"I dare not!"

Yan Maoxing held those things, and seeing that You Xian was already angry, he replied cautiously: "It's just that such mobilization is not in accordance with the rules..."

In principle, even with a legal document for mobilizing troops, it must go through their Qinzhou military chief before mobilizing troops...

Even if that Lord Chen Yan does have the power to control the military and politics of Qinzhou, he cannot mobilize across levels.

"Lord Chen Yan also has the power to act conveniently bestowed by the Emperor!"

"If you obstruct again, beheading you is also within the convenience!"

Hearing this, You Xian sneered, suddenly drew the sword from his waist, placed it on Yan Maoxing's neck, and said sternly.

In those eyes was killing intent that was almost about to condense.

It seemed that if he were refuted or declined again, the sharp blade would cut his throat.

"Official, calm your anger!"

"The villain dare not!"

Yan Maoxing felt the chill on the blade and almost obeyed in seconds, saying hurriedly: "The villain will obey orders!"

Although Yan Maoxing also wanted to resist to the end, his life was more important...

Didn't that Lord say that Lord Chen Yan has the power to act conveniently? In the Qinzhou territory, killing one of him is killing, and killing his whole family is also killing, and it is all reasonable and legal!

"That's right..."

You Xian withdrew his sword, nodded with satisfaction, and ordered: "Go and gather those under twenty-five years old, over six feet tall, physically strong, and capable of long-distance raids!"

"Yes."

He had no hesitation, responded hurriedly, turned and left, followed by two Embroidered Attire Envoys to "assist".

A quarter of an hour later.

Yan Maoxing returned to report, reporting: "Official, according to your instructions, the soldiers who meet the requirements have all been gathered!"

The military chief was invited to the banquet. In other words, at this very moment, Qinzhou was, to a certain extent, decided by Yan Maoxing.

There was no resistance to execution.

"How many people are there in total?" You Xian asked.

"Two thousand one hundred and eighty-three people!" Yan Maoxing blurted out.

After a pause, he added: "Among them, one thousand and seventeen are under twenty years old..."

Youth represents an advantage.

Physical advantage, combat advantage...

Sure enough, there are only two thousand... You Xian muttered to himself, exactly the same as the intelligence spied, looked at the person handling the matter, and asked: "What is your name?"

"The villain is Yan Maoxing!" Yan Maoxing replied.

You Xian examined him, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled: "Yan Maoxing, you have good ability, so you will be in charge of these two thousand one hundred and eighty-three people!"

"What?!"

Hearing this, Yan Maoxing was stunned and surprised.

He never expected that just by doing a errand for Lord Chen Yan's subordinates, he would be promoted?!

And he jumped several levels directly, removed the deputy title, and held real power.

"What?"

"Are you unwilling?"

You Xian glanced sideways and said: "Then I can look for someone else..."

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the excited Yan Maoxing: "I am willing!"

"The villain is willing!"

"Thank you, Lord, for your cultivation!"

Saying that, he knelt on the ground and saluted repeatedly.

His career, which had not risen for many years, began to turn because of tonight's encounter.

"It is Lord Chen Yan who wants to cultivate you..."

You Xian lifted Yan Maoxing up and corrected.

After a pause, he continued: "Obey orders well, and you won't be treated unfairly!"

"Yes."

Yan Maoxing's eyes were bright, his eyes were extremely hot, and he responded: "I will only follow the orders of Lord Chen Yan!"

You Xian was extremely satisfied and said: "You are very sensible, and your future is limitless..."

"Let's go!"

"Leave the city!"

The next day.

Noon.

Residence.

"Inspector Lord!"

"Something big is wrong!"

Outside the house came the panicked voice of Qinzhou Chief Clerk Li Yi.

"What are you arguing about?"

Mo Zhengxi, who was hungover, was sleeping soundly, was suddenly alarmed and awakened, extremely displeased, and scolded sternly: "Did your parents die, or did the rebel army break into the city?"

"What kind of decorum is this panic!"

Saying that, he only felt a headache, and became more and more displeased.

"It's..."

Li Yi stopped by the bed and echoed: "Lord's lesson is right!"

After a pause, he said cautiously: "But more than two thousand of our soldiers in Linwei City have been mobilized, and they are all young and strong!"

"What?!"

"What did you say?!"

"Who mobilized them!"

Mo Zhengxi, who was rubbing his temples, was shocked, widened his eyes, surprised, and questioned in a lost voice.

This is bad news comparable to a bolt from the blue!

More than two thousand soldiers, and they are all young and strong; that is his capital for guarding Linwei City and protecting his life!

"It is the Mingjing Si Zhuque Mirror Keeper who came yesterday, Lord Chen Yan..."

Li Yi observed the expression of his Inspector Lord, deliberated slightly, and replied in a low voice: "He mobilized two thousand troops out of the city in the middle of the night!"

Why did this Chief Clerk report it only when the sun was high?

Because officials of all sizes in Qinzhou were almost all drunk last night, and many people were still not awake...

Fortunately, the rebel army did not attack.

"It's him?"

Mo Zhengxi felt very surprised, his head was dizzy, and he didn't understand: "Why can Chen Yan mobilize my soldiers?"

"According to reports from below, he has the power to control the military and politics of Qinzhou, and can also act conveniently..."

Li Yi said truthfully: "Mobilizing troops within the Qinzhou territory is within the scope of his power!"

"No wonder he drank so happily yesterday!"

"So that's how it is!"

Mo Zhengxi realized suddenly and laughed at himself.

That person surnamed Chen was waiting for him here!

Who could have predicted that he wanted to calculate, but was calculated instead?

Damn it!

Insidious brat!

"Lord, what should we do now?" Li Yi asked for instructions.

"Change clothes!"

"This official wants to see Chen Yan!"

Mo Zhengxi got up and got out of bed, exuding chilliness all over his body, and said sternly.

Side courtyard of the wing room.

Chen Yan got up early, was doing the Five Animal Play, was in high spirits, didn't have a hint of hangover, looked up and saw Mo Zhengxi and others coming aggressively, and smiled unhurriedly:

"Brother Mo is here?"

"The singer you arranged last night was very moist!"

"Younger brother likes it very much!"

The wine Chen Yan drank last night was not much less than others.

It was just that he had taken the hangover medicine made by Yun Xi in advance, and drinking wine was no different from drinking water.

"Mirror Keeper Chen..." As soon as Mo Zhengxi saw Chen Yan, he became angry.

But before he could speak, he was interrupted by Chen Yan: "Brother Mo came just in time!"

"Younger brother was just about to look for you to discuss the matters of attacking Shanggui today!"

Mo Zhengxi, who came to hold him accountable, was stunned and surprised: "What did you say?!"

"You want to attack Shanggui, and today at that?!"
