Zhenwu Tianxia: Summon Yuwen Chengdu at the beginning

Chapter 42 Surrounding the Duke's Mansion

DC area.

Qin Wei led the soldiers of Wubai Town Wusi quickly through the streets and arrived in front of Duke Cheng's mansion.

At this time, the front door of Cheng Guogong's mansion was open, and there were still many visiting guests at the door, but these guests seemed a little unhappy.

Not to mention seeing Duke Cheng, even if they couldn't enter the gate of Duke Cheng's mansion, they just delivered the gifts to the gate of Duke Cheng's mansion.

As one of the four great princes, one can imagine the power of Duke Cheng's mansion in Kyoto, especially in the Chinese army's governor's mansion. Cheng Guogong also holds the position of governor and acquaintance, and many generals in the army are Cheng Guo. The public's confidant.

As the Duke of the State who holds the real power, naturally many people want to follow the path of the Duke's Mansion to have a good future.

So on weekdays, this Cheng Guogong's mansion is full of people, and cars and horses come and go like a stream.

Qin Wei came to Cheng Guogong's gate on horseback, looking at the long row of carriages, a icy light flashed in his eyes.

"Encircle!"

"Here!"

Immediately, five hundred soldiers marched in neat steps and surrounded the entire Duke of Cheng's mansion.

The bow and crossbow were strung up, and the arrows shone with icy luster and pointed directly at Cheng Guogong's mansion.

Cheng Guogong's mansion is very large, even bigger than Qin Wei's county mansion. The pavilions are exquisite and gorgeous. There are hundreds of servants and maids in the mansion, and there are three hundred guards.

You must know that there are only more than 80 guards in Qin Wei's county palace.

Zhen Wusi's sudden arrival caused commotion inside and outside Cheng Guogong's mansion.

The guests who came to visit and give gifts were shocked at first, and then scattered in all directions.

"How is this going?"

Among the guests, Xia Wenyu rode on horseback and asked the attendants beside him.

Xia Wenyu was originally a general in the border town. He returned to Beijing this time because his term of office had expired and he needed to be reassigned.

In Dali, military generals need to follow the system of passing officials, that is, a term of five years. After the term of office expires, the Ministry of War, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and the Inspector's Office need to evaluate their merits together, and then they are transferred or promoted.

This system prevents generals from cultivating cronies in the army and supporting their own self-respect.

The system is good, but due to the corruption of court officials in recent years, this system has gradually become formalized, and has even become a means for some people to fight for power and profit.

Xia Wenyu is a capable general, and he doesn't want to be a tool for some people to fight for power, but the reality makes him succumb.

In order to be able to get a job, he had to come to Cheng Guogong's mansion to pay homage to the mountain.

It's a pity that he didn't have many prayers to offer, and he was still a little apprehensive before he came. This prayer was already his entire net worth, and if he didn't get the approval of Cheng Guogong's mansion, his prayers would be in vain. Yes, the days to come will be bitter.

"That seems to be the troops of the Zhenwu Division?" The entourage replied.

"The troops of Zhenwu Division!" Xia Wenyu was a little surprised.

He just returned to Beijing three days ago, so he doesn't know much about the situation in Kyoto, but he has also heard about the turmoil caused by the establishment of the Zhenwu Division.

"Go, let's stay away!"

Xia Wenyu did not leave, but retreated to the distance to observe the next movement.

He was a little curious about what Zhen Wusi was doing in Cheng Guogong's mansion.

At this time, there were not a few curious people like Xia Wenyu. Although everyone left the gate of Duke Cheng's mansion, they did not go far away, but hid in the street to observe Zhenwusi's every move.

……

Dongcheng Bingma Division.

Luo Yuan was sitting in the lobby drinking tea leisurely.

Since the establishment of the Zhenwu Division, his life has been very hard. He has no choice but to suddenly have an evil mother-in-law on his head, and his little daughter-in-law can only feel wronged.

Even the Ministry of War is unwilling to come forward to suppress Zhenwusi, so he, a military envoy, naturally dare not resist Zhenwusi's rule.

As long as Zhen Wusi takes action, he will come to him.

Fortunately, Zhen Wusi has been focusing on the three major sects these days, so he is a little more relaxed.There is no need to serve the uncle of Zhen Wusi every day.

But the leisurely time seems a little short.

"Sir, it's not good!"

A hasty shout came from outside the lobby door, making Luo Yuan tremble with fright, spilling hot tea on his legs, and he jumped up in pain.

"You bastard, why are you yelling?"

While patting the tea on his lap, he yelled at the soldiers who ran in.

"My lord, it's too bad, the people from Zhenwusi have come to Dongcheng!" the soldier said with a panicked face.

I want to ask who is the person in Kyoto who is most afraid of Zhen Wusi?

Not the dignitaries of the court, nor the martial arts of the folk, but the soldiers of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division.

They used to show off their power to those ordinary people in the capital city, but now because of the existence of Zhen Wusi, they can only behave with their tails between their legs.

Moreover, every time Zhenwusi made a move, the soldiers and horses of the five cities would suffer accordingly.

Those who fight and kill are what they fear most.

Hearing this, Luo Yuan shuddered violently and asked, "Why are they coming to Dongcheng?"

"The king of Xin'an personally led the team, and they went to Cheng Guogong's mansion!" The soldier replied.

Luo Yuan's face turned pale.

Cheng Guogong's mansion!

It's over, it's over, it's over!

How could you go to Cheng Guogong's mansion?

What is the king of Xin'an going to do?

He didn't have much contact with Qin Wei, but he knew Qin Wei's behavior style very well, after all, Zhen Wusi had tormented them a lot before.

He didn't need to think too much, he knew that Qin Wei's going to Duke Cheng's mansion would definitely not be a good thing.

"Quickly, help me back home!"

He said softly.

Whether it's the Zhenwu Division or the Chengguo Mansion, he can't afford to provoke them.

Not to mention being provoked, even if he was involved, he was afraid of being crushed to death.

So what he wants to do most now is to hide away, away from Zhenwusi and Duke Cheng's mansion.

The soldiers quickly stepped forward to support him, "Sir, if you go back to the mansion at this time, if the uncle of Zhen Wusi comes, I'm afraid there will be no good fruit to eat!"

The soldiers did not forget to advance Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan wants to cry but has no tears, and it seems that he can't hide.

If Zhenwusi came to look for him and he hid, it would be equivalent to offending Zhenwusi.

It would be strange if Zhen Wusi didn't clean him up by then.

"What should I do?"

"My lord, don't panic, the people from Zhen Wusi didn't come to us, maybe the king of Xin'an County won't use us." This little soldier is quite clever.

Luo Yuan's mind moved slightly, "You are right."

"To deal with Cheng Guogong's mansion, our five-city soldiers and horses are not even qualified to be cannon fodder."

"The king of Xin'an County should not come to appoint us."

Although he said so in his mouth, he was still a little apprehensive.

"You immediately take a few people to Duke Cheng's mansion to watch, and if there is any movement, come back and report immediately." Luo Yuan arranged.

Hiding is definitely not an option, he can only pray that Zhen Wusi will not use them at this time.

"Yes, let's go, little one!" The soldier replied.

When the soldiers left, Luo Yuan paced back and forth in the hall, full of anxiety and restlessness.
