In a encampment outside the north city gate, a horse was rushing into the camp. After entering the camp, it barged into the general's residence.
"General Cen, what should we do now that the outside world is in chaos?"
"Why are you all in such a mess? Everyone has their heads covered by a blanket. Didn't I not eat anything as well?"
Damn, even Cen Wei's trusted aides went to the palace to eat, but as a branch of Cen Family, he could only be as hungry as these soldiers!
He was even angrier!
"It's not for food, it's Battle King. Battle King returned to the capital, he killed hundreds of people in one move, and all of them died at the city gates. The brothers said that they wanted to rely on him, and even said that Cen Family and Third Prince rebelled against Battle King and killed people in anger …"
Although his statement was unclear, it also brought out the main point.
The Cen Family has rebelled!
"What did you say!"
This Cen Gen was so scared that he immediately jumped up from his chair and brought the book to the floor. Ink paper fell onto the floor.
Cen Wei rebelling?
"Didn't he say to guard the city to prevent West Ridge dweller from entering? Isn't the emperor still fine? "
"General, I'm afraid we've been deceived by him. A few months ago, we entered the army under the orders of the Emperor. What happened after that?"
Silence in the room
After a long while, Cen Gen spoke fiercely:
"Gather our brothers, let's go up to the north gate and see what's going on. If Cen Family is truly rebellious, tie me up and hand me over to Battle King to deal with!
"My men are not allowed to work for thieves even if they die standing!"
"General!"
"There's no need to say anymore. Don't you know how everyone has been living these past few months? I've let down my brothers. I was incompetent, and almost became someone else's butcher's knife!"
In Cen Family, he was the only one who was straightforward. Therefore, Cen Wei hid everything from him, not even allowing him to enter the city.
"However, there's news that Battle King has rebelled. Do you want to wait and see?"
"What are you looking at? Even if you're going to die, you have to prove that I'm loyal to the Shan Nation and not the butcher's blade in someone's hand!" Why aren't you going yet! "
Cen Lu glared at his subordinates as if he wanted to eat them up.
"Reporting to the High Scholar is bad, there's West Ridge dweller amongst the soldiers. Little Li went out to look just now, and out of the several hundred brothers that were beaten to death by Battle King, over a hundred of them had West Ridge dweller …"
"Tell me slowly!"
Cen Gen did not understand the situation clearly. He was in charge of all the soldiers in the outer city, but he did not know what had happened. Now, he had committed a grave sin.
"They are the brothers that were lent out last night. They were ordered to guard Battle King's mansion, but who would have thought that the leader wanted them to shoot arrows at Battle King. Battle King killed over a hundred of them in one move …"
The soldier still did not make it clear.
"Lend it to someone?" How come I didn't know? "
"…"
Another silence …
"Tie me up and hand it over to Battle King. Pass my order to everyone in the army, we will follow Battle King's lead. No one will listen to anyone's order. If Battle King wants to rebel, then we will follow him!"
The cold wind whimpered outside the door, as if grieving for him.
The scattered papers on the ground were lifted up by the wind, flying up in the air before slowly falling down. A sorrowful atmosphere filled the room.
There is no better solution.
Follow Cen Family?
Impossible!
It was a fact that Cen Family had colluded with their enemies to harm their own compatriots. They could not follow such a master.
"Pa Pa Pa!"
The sudden applause scared the three of them, causing them to look towards the door.
He saw a tall man walk in. This man was wearing soft armor and had an extraordinary quality. He had an imposing manner and a calm demeanor.
"Who are you?"
The person did not put on any airs. "Do you even need to ask about this?"
When Cen Gen heard this, he immediately kneeled down and raised both of his hands above his head:
"This lowly general is guilty, tie me up and hand me over to Battle King, I have nothing to say about the Cen Family rebellion, I only wish for Battle King to investigate, my brothers are all good sons of Shan Nation, they are definitely not traitors, they do not know anything about the rebellion, I hope they can live."
From the beginning to the end, he did not argue for himself. He did not know what Cen Wei had done either, but as a member of Cen Family, he admitted his wrongs.
In ancient times, a person would commit a crime and sit together with his family. However, he didn't say Cen Wei was wrong at this time, he just admitted his guilt and then pleaded for his subordinates. It could be seen that he was a loyal person.
General Cen, please get up. This time, I'm here on behalf of Battle King to take over the military authority. Since General Cen has no objection, please arrange troops for General Cen.
He's not here to capture me?
The two people beside him were also stunned. They thought that Battle King's men would arrive so quickly and directly kill their general and then kill them …
"Battle King still wants to use me?"
"Battle King has given the order that all those who do not sincerely seek refuge with the enemy are Yan Wuzhan's good brothers. They want everyone to follow him and flatten their West Ridge Nation!"
When the Soft Armor said these words, his voice was high and his blood was boiling, as though he had found the passion he had when he was on the battlefield. These words caused everyone to be extremely excited, they, Battle King, still believed in them, did not seize authority nor curse, and instead issued the most important mission.
"General's orders!"
The other two quickly knelt down as well. They were convinced that as long as they were sincere, Battle King would be able to see it for himself. Even if they were to die in battle, it would be worth it.
You guys get up, Battle King just came back, so many small matters can't be taken care of. So in the capital, you guys send people to protect the people and not let them be used to threaten Battle King, and do what you should do. You guys think of a way yourself and inform all your brothers, and tell them that Battle King will not kill people randomly, and as long as they have merit, they will be rewarded.
"Also, where the troops from Cen Family are hidden, you guys go and pick them out too, don't randomly kill people, first tell us about Battle King's matter, and those who resist will be caught, and West Ridge dweller will be directly killed …"
They discussed for a while and finally came up with a plan. They searched the capital in detail, and there was no need to elaborate further.
Today, the capital city was as quiet as it was before the change, as well as the chaos from before. There was not a single sound of hawking on the streets as all the shops were closed for business.
From time to time, the sound of orderly footsteps and horses' hooves came from every street. The citizens hid in their homes and wondered whose people this was and if they hurt Battle King. At the same time, they also thought that these must be Battle King's men …
The wait was long and everyone wanted the day to pass so they could get a new air. Today's air was too oppressive.
Snowflakes even drifted about in the cold sky. It was the New Year's Eve in just over ten days. Today, the citizens of the capital were in great danger. They could not sit still.
