"However, Ouyang Zhixiong suddenly plotted treason and betrayed the country. His crime is unforgivable. Although I feel sorry for him, I have no choice but to kill him. Now that Ouyang Zhixiong has been killed, the 100,000 Zhenwei Army is leaderless. Therefore, I appoint my son Shangguan Qi as the new commander of the Zhenwei Army, with full authority to handle the incorporation and reorganization of the Zhenwei Army. I decree this!"
The eunuch's voice was sharp and thin, as if something sharp was cutting one's eardrum.
After reading this imperial edict, Chen Guang and the 100,000 Zhenwei soldiers changed their expressions drastically. Everyone had an expression of disbelief and grief, and they glared at the eunuch and the imperial edict in his hand.
After the eunuch finished reading, Chen Guang finally couldn't help it. He stepped forward and punched the eunuch hard in the face.
The eunuch was caught off guard and let out a scream, then rolled down the mountain like a top.
However, before the eunuch could stand up, the soldiers standing in the front row rushed over angrily and chopped at him fiercely with their swords and spears.
Blood splattered everywhere!
In just a blink of an eye, the eunuch who had dreamed of a meteoric rise in power turned into a bloody corpse.
Until his death, he still hadn't figured out that he should have gotten through all the hardships and become extremely powerful in the future, so why did he end up like this
Shangguan Qi had never expected such a thing to happen, and neither did the guards behind him. They stood there speechless for a moment.
When he came to his senses, he immediately pointed at Chen Guangda and cursed: "Chen Guang, what are you doing? Are you trying to disobey the emperor's order and commit treason?"
"You said we are traitors?!" Chen Guang's eyes were red as he glared at Shangguan Qi fiercely and said sternly, "Then just treat us as traitors! After all, General Ouyang has been loyal all his life, but you sons of bitches still accused him of treason!"
As soon as Chen Guang finished speaking, cheers shook the valley!
"If he's a traitor, he's a traitor. I'm not afraid of him!"
"We want justice for General Ouyang!!"
"The damn eunuch deserves to die!!"
"Anyone who insults General Ouyang should die!!"
Shangguan Qi never expected that he would get such a result after rushing to the military camp with great ambitions and excitement.
This... What's going on with the people in the Zhenwei Army? Do they really only recognize Ouyang Zhixiong and not the royal family? !
Damn it, he had said long ago that he wanted to check and balance the Ouyang family, it was all that old Shangguan Wenji’s fault for not listening!
A crowd of 100,000 people was terrifying, and Shangguan Qi's cultivation was not high. The powerful murderous aura released made his legs begin to go weak.
Shangguan Qi took a deep breath, and immediately put on a smile on his face, and said in a gentle tone: "General Chen, don't be angry. The imperial edict is just a situation. General Ouyang is a loyal and good general. Everyone in our Jinling Kingdom knows that. But you also have to understand the difficulties my father and I are in. The Feng family is pressing us hard, and they are still searching for Ouyang Haoxuan in the city."
"In order to find Ouyang Haoxuan, they even wanted to come and destroy your entire Zhenwei Army. My father and I resorted to this desperate measure in the hope of saving the Zhenwei Army. Being incorporated and disbanded is better than being destroyed by the Feng family, don't you think? Even if General Ouyang knew about this, he wouldn't want his army to end up like this, right?"
Prince Shangguan Qi's words, which combined soft and hard tactics, finally calmed down Chen Guang and the soldiers.
But Chen Guang still had a cold face and did not give the prince any good look. He said coldly: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid we can't follow the decree of the prince and the emperor?" (To be continued)
