"Chen Guang, what do you mean? I've said all sorts of good and bad things to you, but you're still so stubborn?"
Chen Guang sneered and said calmly, "When the Zhenwei Army was first established, Your Majesty promised that the Zhenwei Army would belong to the Ouyang family, and only the people of the Ouyang family could decide the fate of the Zhenwei Army. Your Majesty would not think that a mere imperial decree could erase the original promise, would you? Don't forget, a king never jokes!"
Shangguan Qi heard this, but this time he did not get angry, instead he laughed and said, "You said that only the people of the Ouyang family can decide whether the Zhenwei Army stays or goes, right? Then look who this person is?"
As he spoke, Shangguan Qi pulled out a man wearing black armor and a helmet from behind him.
After the man was pulled out, he immediately took off his helmet in a hurry, revealing a pale face that was 30% similar to Ouyang Zhixiong.
Shangguan Qi pointed at the man proudly and said with a smile: "General Chen, you know this man, right? He is Ouyang Zhixiong's cousin, Ouyang Zhiping. This man is a real Ouyang family member, he has the same father as Ouyang Zhixiong but different mothers, so they have a strong blood relationship. He can represent the Ouyang family, right?"
Ouyang Zhiping looked up and met Chen Guang's fierce and cold gaze, and his whole body shuddered.
But thinking of the terrifying black-clad men of the Feng family and their promises, Ouyang Zhiping gritted his teeth, stepped forward and said, "Deputy General Chen, I also received the news of my eldest brother's death. I am also very sad about his death. But the Zhenwei Army cannot be leaderless. His Majesty and the Crown Prince also hope to find a way out for the Zhenwei Army. I am here this time to represent the Ouyang family to take over the military power of the Zhenwei Army."
Chen Guang looked at Ouyang Zhixiong coldly, his eyes like a sharp blade.
Ouyang Zhixiong's heart trembled when he was looked at, and then he remembered their loyalty to the Ouyang family, and immediately said angrily: "Deputy General Chen, what do you mean by looking at me like this? Do you have any doubts about my accepting the Zhenwei Army? I have an imperial decree, and I am the one in the Ouyang family who is closest to my eldest brother by blood, so it is natural for me to accept the Zhenwei Army."
"Or does Deputy General Chen think that without my elder brother, you can seize power?"
Chen Guang was not angered by his provocative words, but stretched out his hand, "You want the military power of Zhenwei Army? Sure, take out the military token for me to verify first."
"What... what military token?" Ouyang Zhiping froze for a moment, then immediately refuted loudly, "I am from the Ouyang family, you are the Ouyang family's army. Now that my eldest brother is dead and Haoxuan's whereabouts are unknown, it is only natural for me to take over the Zhenwei Army. What military token do you need? How come I have never heard that my eldest brother needs to take out any military token to manage the army?"
Chen Guang smiled mockingly upon hearing this. "You don't even know the Zhenwei Army's military token, and you want to take over the Zhenwei Army? You're just dreaming!"
"I tell you, if you want to recruit the Zhenwei Army, you must show your military token and be recognized as the master by the direct bloodline of the Ouyang family. Without the military token, we will never accept it! We will not recognize any imperial edict or general's brother!"
"Chen Guang, you are going back on your word and going too far!" Shangguan Qi said angrily, "You said that only someone from the Ouyang family could mobilize the Zhenwei Army. I found it for you, and now you are asking for a military token. When General Ouyang died, his body was torn into pieces, and his military token had long been destroyed. Without the military token, will you never accept the commander-in-chief?" (To be continued)
