C451 Tri-pass Army
C451 Tri-pass Army
"Is your Royal Army really that great? Why don't we take action and see? A bunch of show-ups!"
The people on the other two sides suddenly felt a common enemy. They rolled up their sleeves and pushed each other. Seeing that they were about to start fighting, Yang Xuan quickly walked over and stopped them.
"Everyone, this is in front of Commander's mansion. I'm afraid it won't be good for you all to fight here, right?"
As soon as Yang Xuan spoke, everyone turned to look at him and sneered. All of them were tall and muscular men. Compared to them, Yang Xuan was indeed a little short and skinny.
"Which family do you belong to? We are all people who have tasted blood on the tip of a knife. Why don't you come and see if you are capable enough to stop the fight?" A bearded man mocked. He was from the Jade Gate.
"That's right. Do you know about the Great Wei's Three Gates, kid? You are lucky to have met us. If it was those people from Profound Gate Pass, I'm afraid they would have thrown you out a long time ago." The men from Changcheng Pass also had a mocking smile on their faces. They didn't put Yang Xuan in their eyes at all.
Only the men from the royal guards looked at Yang Xuan, who seemed somewhat familiar. They stood by the side silently, thinking hard about where they had seen Yang Xuan before.
However, as the guard at the foot of the emperor, he could not remember whether he was a noble or a descendant of a noble family. No matter if it was the former or the latter, he could not afford to offend anyone.
Yang Xuan held his hands behind his back and did not get angry. He looked at them and smiled. When they had finished speaking, he said softly, "I am just trying to persuade the generals to fight. Since there is nothing else, I will go in and take care of it first."
After saying that, Yang Xuan walked into Commander Prefecture. Suddenly, they heard their mocking voices behind him.
"It seems like he is another young man who doesn't know the temper of Commander in Jiangnan. He is taking an afternoon nap at this time of the day. Whoever dares to provoke him will get into trouble."
"Ai, these young masters think that they have some power in their family and come out to show off. Commander won't give them any face. Let's see how he is thrown out!"
"Speaking of which, it is time for the military funds to be changed. Why didn't they see the people from Profound Gate Pass coming over? Didn't they always come on time?"
"Who knows? It's good that they don't come. It saves them from picking up the leftovers every year. This year, let's pick some good stuff and leave, haha!"
Yang Xuan heard everything they said. He was not angry. He just gently knocked on the door. Soon, a gatekeeper came out and said impatiently, "What's the matter?"
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "I am under orders from my master to come and ask for some military funds."
The gatekeeper immediately snorted and said loudly, "Your master? Do you know where this place is? Hurry up and get lost!"
He was about to close the door after he finished speaking when the men behind him started laughing.
"Look, I told you that this guy is going to be locked in the door and act like a hothead."
"Our brothers are here every year, and this is the first time they've seen something like this. This can be considered a form of entertainment!"
The gate of the Commander Prefecture wasn't open for ordinary people. Even they were old men in the army. They had official positions to stand here.
This reckless kid, who didn't know anything, had the audacity to knock on the door. No matter how powerful his background was, he wouldn't be able to get a good look from him.
Yang Xuan saw their gloating expressions, but he wasn't angry. He simply stood by the door and waited patiently.
It was July and July. Even in a place like Jiangnan, the sun was hot at noon. After a while, the men couldn't stand the heat and found a cool place to hide.
"Little brother, it's hot over there. Come and hide from the sun!" The man from the Royal Guards could not stand it and shouted at Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan looked at him in surprise, then nodded his head and walked over to stand under the shade of the tree.
Although the willow tree they found was big, it was still a little tight to accommodate so many people at the same time. When they saw Yang Xuan walk over, the men from the Jade Door were unhappy at that time.
"Sigh, if you think this kid is pitiful... I don't mind if you go over and stand with him, but if you let him come over and share our gloominess for no reason... Isn't this stupid? " They shouted at the men of the Royal Guards, clearly very dissatisfied.
The royal guards glared at them, then pulled Yang Xuan behind them and said in a rough voice, "No matter what, he is still a child. Your surname is Liu and you are not killing your enemies on the battlefield. Why are you angry at him?"
The man with the surname Liu wanted to say something, but the royal guards had already pulled out their swords from their waists, making him retreat in embarrassment. He muttered that he did not have any weapons, or else he would have to fight with them.
The royal guard turned around and gave the others a look. He changed positions with them and brought Yang Xuan to a corner, far away from the others.
"Little brother, we squeezed a little, but luckily we were not exposed to the sun. This sun is very fierce, and we soldiers can't hold it, so it's better for you to hide with your small body."
"No worries, this place is not bad."
Yang Xuan nodded slightly. His impression of this man had improved a lot. He was willing to talk to this man to relieve his boredom.
As the two of them talked, Yang Xuan knew his name. His name was Wu Fann. He did not have any power in his family. Luckily, he had the strength to mix with the Imperial Forest Military and become a lieutenant.
This time, they gathered here to collect military funds such as weapons and horses. It was also a common practice in the military every year.
The men from Yu Men Gate were led by the man with the surname Liu. They did not know his real name, but they only knew his name was Liu Lao'er. His brother, Boss Liu, was a deputy general in Yu Men Gate Military.
"Actually, it's said to be the three major gates, but the Great Wei has been stable for so many years. Only the Profound Gate Pass in the north still has war. Those Barbarian Clan are brave and tough to deal with. The Jade Gate and Chang City Pass have long become places for retirement."
"Since there's no war, why are they here to collect military funds?"
"You don't know about that. This military funds will not be given to the soldiers. When the military funds are obtained, they can be exchanged for large amounts of silver. Many people are thinking about the armaments made in Jiangnan."
"That's not it. The ordnance has been lost and taken by the bandits. Why haven't there been any problems?"
"There's no need to worry about that. These military funds are all sold to Myriad Treasure Pavilion. When that time comes, they will sell them to other families and powers. There won't be any trouble."
Yang Xuan did not expect that receiving military funds would become a kind of business transaction. It also involved the participation of Myriad Treasure Pavilion. For a moment, Yang Xuan could only feel mixed emotions.
The world was tough and dangerous, but people's hearts were not easy!
While the two of them were talking, the door of Commander Prefecture in Jiangnan had already opened. The gatekeeper walked out and sat down. A group of guards stood on both sides of the door, causing the eyes of the others to light up.
"Since the people from Profound Gate Pass haven't arrived yet, I, Old Liu, will go and pick some good stuff first. Haha! "
