Chapter 264: Zhao Duan mobilizes troops! Imperial guards march into the capital
In response to Zhao Duan's question, none of the Jinyi officers present responded for a while, as they were actually frightened by his cold eyes.

In the end, it was Captain Zhou who explained:

"He's been gone for a while, but I sent someone to follow him and he didn't seem to mind being tracked."

Arrogant as expected... Zhao Duan narrowed his eyes and stared at him: "In other words, you can locate his position."

"...Yes." Captain Zhou nodded reluctantly.

In just a few months, Zhao Duan's "official air" became more and more serious.

He himself did not feel it, but in the eyes of others, when he was angry, people instinctively held their breath.

"Very good." Zhao Duan nodded.

Behind him, Haitang raised her eyebrows:
"Don't be impulsive... You are no match for him... You should wait for the governor to come back."

Zhao Duan turned his head to look at her and asked, "Has this person reached the worldly realm?"

"Well... I don't think so, but... in the Divine Chapter Realm, he is very strong."

Haitang was startled by the look in his eyes, and her voice subconsciously softened, not as sarcastically harsh as before.

Zhao Duan continued: "What crime should be committed for attacking an official?"

Zhang Han coughed for a while and said:

"Buddhism and Taoism compete, people from the martial arts world challenge each other... It's not the first time that a master from the imperial court has challenged someone of the same rank. They are both divine, so they compete with each other... If someone is not as skilled as the other, and is convicted, the imperial court will lose face... This is the custom..."

According to his explanation, during the battle between Buddhism and Taoism, challenging the masters of the government was an "unspoken rule" of the Dayu Dynasty. If the government lost, they would be convicted, which was really a disgrace to the court...

Captain Zhou said bitterly:

"With the strength of our Zhaoya, if an ordinary Shenzhang warrior came, it wouldn't be like this, but this Qingshan's personal disciple..."

What this means is that Chai Keqiao is too powerful, far beyond the normal level of a divine being.

Zhao Duan sneered:

"So, according to the rules, even if the governor comes back, he can't bully the weak? Then why are we waiting for the governor?
It's shameful to convict him? That huge government office was taken over by one person, and the reputation of our Great Yu court is gone? !
You are a bunch of stubborn idiots! He challenged you one-on-one, and you are so stupid to challenge him one-on-one? Why don't you join forces to beat him?!

Do you really think you are a chivalrous hero? If you can fight in a group, why don't you use your brocade robes? "

After being scolded, the detectives who had just lost the battle were too embarrassed to talk back.

Zhao Duan flicked his sleeves and narrowed his eyes and said:

"What a great heir of Qingshan! I want to see if he can defeat thousands of soldiers or even tens of thousands of horses.
Zhou Cang, you have to keep a close eye on him. I need to know his location at all times.

Where is Lihuatang? ! "

in the crowd.

Qian Kerou, Shen Juan, Hou Renmeng, Zheng Laojiu and others stepped forward:

"My subordinate is here!"

Zhao Duan had a blank expression on his face. He shook his wrist and took out a string of waist badges from the storage magic tool.

The brands are printed with:
"Commander-in-chief", "Policing Officer", "Baima Supervisor", "Shenjiying Military Supervisor" and so on.

With a turn of the wrist, the badge shot out like scattered flowers.

Zhao Duan's eyes were full of ferocity, and he said sternly:
"Take my badge and split up to go to the various imperial guards in the city to mobilize troops. Then tell them that there is a disturbance in the city and I have been ordered to suppress it!
"Whatever military experts there are, bring them out to me! If anyone hides something, I will go to the Privy Council tomorrow and have Privy Envoy Xue talk to them!"

Everyone was excited and responded:
"As ordered!"

The four of them turned around and ran into the rain like arrows.

At this time, the guards in the courtyard came to their senses and their faces changed drastically.

Some are excited, some are thrilled, some are admiring, and some are worried and anxious. There are all kinds of emotions.

“Zhao Jisi, arbitrarily mobilizing troops is... what’s more, Qingshan is also…” Zhou Cang was stunned and spoke in panic.

Zhao Duan turned his head, glanced at him without emotion, and said:

"I'll take responsibility for any consequences. Anything else?"

Zhou Cang paused.

The people in the courtyard all had a feeling of being proud - the Governor was not there, but they still had Lord Zhao to support them.

In the Governor's Hall.

The eight police officers slumped at the conference table had different expressions on their faces, but they all had the same thought in their minds:
The nickname "Little King of Hell" is now well-deserved.

……

……

In the drizzle, several galloping horses flew out from the imperial court.

Like an arrow shot from a bow, they rushed towards the imperial guards in all directions.

The Jinwu Guard’s garrison office seemed particularly quiet because of the autumn rain.

In order to maintain public order in the city, low- and middle-level military officers in the imperial guards took their soldiers out on patrol.

Only a group of senior military attachés were left in the garrison, killing time out of boredom.

"It's good to have rain. There are fewer people and less trouble on rainy days, and we can take a break."

The commander of the Jinwu Guard was half lying on the Luohan bed in the office room, looking very comfortable.

He was holding a wooden stick in his hand and playing backgammon, a popular game in the army.

"Who says it's not true? Seeing that the battle is approaching, the outsiders are rushing in and are ready to fight. Your Majesty wants to uphold the old tradition established by Emperor Taizu and refuses to collect swords at the city gates. He also allows fighting. We, the imperial guards, have become the county constables..."

Deputy General Ma picked up a stool, sat on the ground, and played chess with the commander.

The commander of the Jinwu Guard said, “Eh!”
"Chengguo, don't complain outside this room."

That night, the deputy general of the Jinwu Guard, who had met Zhao Duan, slapped himself lightly on the mouth and said with a smile:

"Look at my mouth, it's so loose."

I hummed in my heart: As if you don’t complain…

The commander, who had met Zhao Duan once at the celebration banquet, smiled.

Just as I was about to speak, I heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Sir, a man in brocade clothes from the Lihua Hall of the Imperial Court has come and wants to see you," said the soldier outside the door.

The two people in the room were stunned for a moment, and their first reaction was to frown. How could a little Jinyi meet them...

But when they heard the three words "Lihuatang", they couldn't sit still anymore. "Please come in and talk."

"Yes."

After a while, Qian Kerou, whose hair was wet by the rain, stepped into the threshold and saw two generals sitting upright in the room.

The secretary quickly repeated Zhao Duan's words.

Hearing this, the two looked at each other.

Ma Chengguo hesitated and said, "It involves mobilizing troops, how can it be..."

Beside him, the commander said calmly:
"Since someone dares to rebel and defy the imperial order, they should be suppressed. Please report this to Zhao Chenshi, and the Jinwu Guard masters will follow you back immediately and will be temporarily under Zhao Chenshi's command."

It went extremely smoothly.

……

Yulin Guard.

"So, Zhao Chenshi wants to borrow troops? To suppress the troublemakers in the city?"

Also at the celebration banquet, the commander of the Yulin Guard, who had drunk and chatted happily with Zhao Duan, looked at the "badge" in his hand and looked at Shen Juan opposite him.

Shen Juan bowed and said:

"That warrior is Qingshan's personal disciple, a warrior at the pinnacle of the Divine Chapter..."

"If the worldly realm is still a headache, a mere divine chapter... Come on, mobilize a team of archers with magical instruments to serve as Zhao Chenshi. No matter what kind of successor he is, he is running wild in the capital and doesn't take our imperial army seriously."

The commander of the Imperial Guard sneered.

With a wave of his hand, he threw the badge to Shen Juan with a "whoosh".

Muttering in my heart:
They beat up your master from the imperial court, but asked us to find a place to fight for you... There's nothing we can do, because that guy named Zhao is not easy to deal with.

That's it.

……

Qianniuwei...

The Royal Guards...

When the Jinyi officers of Lihuatang, carrying Zhao Duan's token and under the pretext of "maintaining public order under the emperor's order", broke into the military offices of various imperial guards.

Not long after, when they returned again, each of them was followed by a team of elite soldiers in armor and with cold eyes.

at the same time.

Zhou Cang, who was ordered to keep an eye on Chai Keqiao, also passed the opponent's latest position to Zhao Duan.

……

The fine autumn rain dripped down, soaking the streets and roofs.

There are fewer pedestrians on the street than before, and it is much quieter.

On a quiet street, a pair of straw sandals were stepping on the ground, and the sole of the sandal was stained with a wet, yellowed ginkgo leaf that was stuck next to a puddle on the ground.

This black street is dotted with ginkgo leaves, which shine brightly when the autumn wind blows.

But after being wetted by the cold rain, it looked much more desolate.

The owner of the straw sandals suddenly stopped. The soles of his feet, which were almost bursting through the badly worn sandals, turned red, his toes were wet, and a few hairs grew messily on his big toe.

Going up, it was because of walking on the mountain road for too many years, the round and strong calves, and the tattered linen clothes worth only a dozen copper coins.

There are also relatively better raincoats.

The linen shirt is tied around the waist with a hemp rope.

The axe that had easily chopped down the entire imperial yamen not long ago was quietly stuck in the gap between the hemp rope and the waist.

Chai Keqiao, whose skin was rough and dark but whose appearance was obviously quite good, raised his head.

Look beyond the brim of the straw raincoat and hat on your head.

Quietly and admiringly, I looked at the big ginkgo tree stretching out from the courtyard wall in front of me.

At this moment, only half of the leaves are left on the tree.

As the cold wind and rain blew, a particularly beautiful leaf on the note suddenly fell off and swirled down.

Chai Keqiao stretched out his hand slowly and grasped it accurately.

"Ah……"

This young man, who was secretly accepted as a disciple by Wu Xiankui, was only at the Shenzhang realm but had amazing potential. He slowly twisted the petiole with his rough fingers.

Tilt your head back and let the wet ginkgo leaves turn in your sight.

……

Across the street.

In a pancake shop, the shop owner was lighting a fire, his middle-aged wife was kneading dough beside him, and a child of five or six years old was squatting under the eaves looking outside.

There are much fewer customers in this weather. The shops along the street, which were bustling in the past, are now only occasionally visited by regular customers.

"Dad, Mom... Look, that person over there is so weird." The child with pigtails pointed outside and said.

"Don't point at people randomly, your fingers will rot..." the woman with an accent threatened.

The middle-aged boss who was stoking the fire looked over curiously and said:

"Like an outsider."

Suddenly, the water in the potholes on the ground began to ripple, as if a muffled thunder was rolling over from far away.

on the street.

Faces popped out of the shops and looked towards the end of the street.

Suddenly, a group of black spots appeared at a distant street corner and approached rapidly.

In the capital city shrouded in autumn rain, two hundred cavalrymen marched in a mighty force.

A soldier wearing heavy Buddhist armor, holding a huge spear, his face covered by an iron mask, rode in the lead, his long weapon dragging on the ground, his horse's hooves thundering, as if a mountain was collapsing and the earth was splitting.
