Qianye's expression darkened, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he clasped the arm of a nobleman beside him, and said coldly, "I said stop, didn't you hear me?"

The man's reaction was unequivocal, his elbow dropped like a side impact, hitting Qianye's chest hard, and at the same time his other hand was not empty, he slapped Qianye's face in the face, cursing, "What dares to speak here, do you know who our master is?"

Qianye frowned, and threw out a punch, hitting the man's face first, knocking him upside down, smashing his way through the crowd, until he hit the city wall before slipping down, a slap in the air Blood and a few teeth are flying.

Those members of the gentry team were startled, and then furious, shouting: "Untouchables! How dare you hurt the nobles?"

"The Expeditionary Army over there, are you blind? Didn't you see that this kid dared to hit the nobles! Arrest him!"

"Just kill him, it will cost you money anyway." A strong man in the team yelled, while pulling out a short gun, aiming at Qianye, actually intending to pull the trigger.

Qianye's eyebrows were furrowed even tighter, he never expected that the members of this team would be so unscrupulous. He was wearing the uniform of a high-ranking officer of the Expeditionary Army. Even the Imperial Elite Corps had to have a casualty indicator here before they dared to kill him in public. Qianye took off the epee on his back, and in one step he came in front of the big man. Dongyue with the sheath lightly patted him on the shoulder.

The expression on the big man's face was momentarily dull, his knees softened, and he knelt heavily on the ground, and then suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood, and fell down, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Everyone was suffocated, and the people watching the excitement around them were all silent for a moment, and retreated back to make an open space.

It took a while for someone in the gentry team to react, and immediately shouted at the top of their voices: "Killed, the pariah killed the noble! Catch this kid, and the empire will reward you!"

Qianye let out a sigh of relief. Facing the rogue-like behavior of this gentry team, it was completely unbearable. Dongyue swung across his face and slapped him hard.

The man spun around and flew out, spewing out more than a dozen teeth in one mouthful, and fainted immediately.

Now those members of the team finally knew that they had kicked an iron plate, and they all froze on the spot, not daring to talk too much anymore. A few guys touched the original force guns around their waists, and weighed them again and again, but they still didn't dare to pull out the guns.

Qianye turned his head and looked around, waved to an expeditionary officer not far away, and said, "Come here."

The officer wears the rank of major on his shoulder, so he should be the on-site commander of the city gate guard team here. He had just been called out from the sentry tower by his subordinates who were worried that they could not control the situation. Seeing Qianye's colonel's epaulets, he already felt that something was wrong. When he saw Qianye's face clearly, his heart suddenly jumped and he immediately ran all the way over.

The major laughed and said, "So it's Colonel Qianye, what orders do you have? Just say it, the humble job will be done right away!"

Since Darkfire has had grievances with most of the divisions in Sanhe County from the establishment of the mercenary regiment to the entry into the expeditionary force, the current Darkfire Independent Division is very famous in the Sanhe County Expeditionary Army, even if the middle and senior officers have never seen it. Guo Qianye himself had at least heard the description.

The gatekeeper officer was in his early forties and had been a school officer for several years. Of course, he knew that the real controller of the dark fire was Qianye in front of him.

Qianye said indifferently: "These guys are disturbing the law and order, right? Arrest them all and wait for them to be dealt with."

The major suddenly looked distressed, and whispered: "Lord Qianye, it's not a problem to arrest them, but it's useless to arrest them. They have to be released later. Our teacher has specially ordered that those who come down from the upper continent, as long as If you don’t do anything serious, just let them go.”

Qianye was thoughtful, "So, this kind of thing happened many times today?"

The major said with a smile: "Not too many, the gentlemen who came down from above are indeed more difficult to serve, but there are not many people who will do anything to our expeditionary army officers, so our generals don't care about these things. Besides, the teams of really big families are all I won’t stay long, and basically leave the city to fight as soon as I arrive.”

Qianye heard what the major meant. The arrogant and domineering small family team is definitely not the only one in front of him, but most of them can only bully mercenaries, hunters and adventurers with no background. Regardless of this dispute.

However, in doing so, they became more and more arrogant, to the point where they dared to find any name and try to kill them when they saw Qianye wearing an expeditionary army officer's uniform.

Those members of the gentry clan were relieved now, and they only noticed that Qianye was a senior officer of the expeditionary army at this time, and they winked at each other, feeling quite unlucky. But they were not nervous, and even looked at Qianye jokingly, waiting to be caught. Anyway, if you go in with your front feet, you can come out with your back feet, so what are you afraid of

Qian Ye frowned, and said to the major: "Catch them all, and then send them to my Heiliu City." He said and threw a bag into the major's hand, "After finishing the business, go have a drink with the brothers."

The major immediately breathed a sigh of relief. When he arrived in Heiliu City, no matter what happened, it would be Qianye's responsibility, and it had nothing to do with them. He pinched the bag, the size and size of the outline, in addition to silver coins, there should be a few gold coins, and he smiled even more obsequiously.

"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and arrest people!" The major waved his hands and shouted, this time he was full of courage.

The soldiers of the expeditionary army guarding the city gate had obviously been patient with the members of the noble team for a long time, so they responded loudly and immediately rushed forward. The mercenaries and adventurers who had been onlookers also rushed up, punching and kicking, and immediately beat all these team soldiers until their noses and faces were swollen, and they fell to the ground. It seemed that everyone's resentment was suffocated.

The major ordered: "It's all tied up, send two cars, and quickly send Lord Qianye to Heiliu City!"

He did this very quickly, lest he would get into trouble.

After dealing with the members of the team, the major remembered something again, hurried to Qianye's side, and said in a low voice: "Master Qianye, my humble officer reminds you, these people keep saying that their master is the nephew of the Duke of the country, You have to be careful!"

Qianye suddenly burst out laughing. The soldiers in this team are simply bragging. If they really are the nephews of some duke, no matter how bad they are, they will not be reduced to the ranks of the nobles. They are obviously bullying the Yongye natives without knowledge. They just open their mouths and come. Bragging about.

Such a fuss wasted a lot of time, Qianye walked towards his off-road vehicle, and suddenly saw a thin and small man creeping into the vehicle, obviously wanting to fish in troubled waters.

Qianye dodged behind the man, lifted him out of the car, and threw him heavily on the ground. The thin man passed out without even screaming.

To deal with this kind of thieves, the soldiers of the expeditionary army immediately recovered their nature like wolves and tigers. They rushed up and beat them violently before dragging them down like dead dogs.

Qianye's off-road vehicle can be seen as a high-end vehicle at a glance, and there is an expeditionary army flag on it. Under normal circumstances, ordinary people wouldn't dare to use military vehicles. This skinny man is bold.

Qianye shook his head secretly, the level of chaos in the county city was beyond his imagination.

After finally entering the city, Qianye drove towards the Imperial Military Merit Statistics Office according to the command of the major officer.

The statistics office is located in a three-story building next to the central square of the county city, so that people from all walks of life can come to pay certificates and register military merits. Now that the bloody battle had just started, the number of people registering military merits was unexpectedly large. The huge square was full of people, and it even seemed quite crowded.

Qianye just felt a little unbelievable, and turned to ask the major who accompanied him in the car: "So many people have military merits? It's not been a few days since the bloody battle started?"

The major said with a smile: "Actually, many people don't believe that this reward will be so generous, so they went out to play a few games at random, and came here to cash in one or two items in stock, and check to see if the reward is real."

Qianye nodded his head, it was human nature, so he continued to drive forward. However, at the next intersection, the car was stopped.

More than a dozen soldiers gathered at the intersection, blocking the entire road. Judging from their uniforms, they looked more like private soldiers from aristocratic families.

A burly man knocked hard on Qianye's car door and shouted, "Get out of the car!"

Qianye frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

"Are you here to register military achievements? Take out the things and have a look!"

Qianye said coldly: "Who are you, why should I show you?"

The big man became angry immediately, pulled out his gun, and shouted: "Take it if you tell me, why are there so many nonsense? Are you looking for death?"

At this time, a middle-aged man came over, pressed the big man's gun, and said, "Don't be impulsive, we are just doing business, not fighting."

The middle-aged man had sharp eyes, glanced at Qianye and the major, and said, "Brother, if you want to register your military merits via this road, you have to hand over half of the goods to us according to the rules. Protection money for getting out safely."

Qianye suddenly understood that these people turned out to be interested in this extremely generous reward, and actually exploited those who wanted to register their military merits. This place is only a few steps away from the Imperial Military Merit Registration Office, and they actually blocked the way in such a grandiose way.

Qianye felt incredible, turned to look at the major next to him, the major seemed to know what Qianye wanted to ask, he showed a wry smile, and said in a low voice: "My lord, it's the same if you change the road..."

Before the major finished speaking, the middle-aged man sneered and said, "Changing the road? Don't even think about it! Since you've already taken our road, you have to go through it! Even if you want to turn around, you still have to pay half of your stuff. "

Qianye was expressionless, pointed to the expeditionary army flag on the front of the car, and said indifferently: "We are the expeditionary army."

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "It's just for the sake of the flag and your uniforms that I only charge half of it. If it's someone else, you'll have to pay at least two-thirds."

Qianye smiled and asked, "Why?"

The middle-aged man pointed to the family emblem on the chest of the brawny man next to him, and said, "Imperial Junbo, the imperial family of Xiao Shanbo, is based on this!"

A county uncle, not too big, not too small, is already considered a middle-grade family, and may be a colossus to Yong Ye, but coming to a borderland like Sanhe County to exploit military benefits, his appearance is too ugly .

Seeing the major hesitate to speak, Qianye tried to wink at him, and couldn't help but feel a little twitch in his heart. It seems that there must be some story behind these so-called Xiao Shanbo's private army. He smiled, got out of the car and walked in front of the middle-aged man, and said indifferently: "Brother, this is a bit much, right?"
