Red Mansion: Incense and God Road, starting from the City God of Shenjing

Chapter 36: Abandoned Pawns, Bloodstained Gate
The soldier ghosts patrol the area under the jurisdiction of the City God every night.

To capture evil spirits, even if they appear in broad daylight, one must have experienced many storms and waves.

Each of them has the strength of the seventh level of body forging.

How could they take these soldiers from the Beijing camp who had only trained their bodies to one or two levels seriously?

The eyes hidden behind the armor were cold and without the slightest fluctuation.

On the contrary, when everyone in the Jia family heard this, they became anxious.

In this day and age, reputation is more important than anything else for women.

If this group of soldiers from the Beijing camp really searched all the carriages one by one.

How can these young ladies in the Jia family have any reputation in the future?

"How can this be absurd? This is the carriage of the Rongguo Mansion. I wonder who has the guts to search it."

Jia Zheng was helped out of the carriage by a servant, and he stepped forward and scolded him with a stern face.

In theory, the position of commander of the Beijing camp had always been held by the Jia family before.

However, the system of officers and soldiers in the Beijing camp is to rotate every few years.

In addition, during the past few years of Wang Ziteng's term, he deliberately cleaned up the "traces" of the Jia family in Beijing for the Prince of Beijing's Palace!
This directly resulted in almost no one in the Beijing military camp taking the Jia family seriously.

"It turned out to be Lord Jia from Rongguo Mansion!"

The captain of the Beijing camp who blocked the road was polite in his words, but his eyes were full of sarcasm.

"It's not that I'm trying to find fault on purpose. It's really the order from the higher-ups."

"Your Majesty is traveling today, and the search is being carried out to protect your safety and guard against assassins."

"We are just following orders!"

"If Lord Jia has any objection to this, he can choose not to enter the camp."

"Or wait until I finish the search and report it to the superiors!"

……

"Is this the carriage of Rongguo Mansion?"

"The Jia family's carriage was stopped by the soldiers of the Beijing camp and was about to be searched?"

"The carriage is full of women. If these Beijing soldiers really search it..."

"Quick, go back and report this matter to the master exactly as it happened!"

The carriage of Rongguo Mansion was stopped, causing several convoys moving behind to be blocked at the same time.

At this time, servants from other families had already come to investigate the situation.

This made Jia Zheng even more anxious.

This time it's really a case of "a scholar meeting a soldier and unable to explain himself clearly".

If we don't hurry up and resolve this matter.

This time, Rongguo Mansion will definitely become a laughing stock among the powerful circles in Shenjing.

"You were ordered to come and search?"

"On whose orders did you come here to search?"

At this moment, Jia Cong's indifferent voice sounded from behind the carriage of Rongguo Mansion.

The tiger demon Dabai walked lazily and slowly around the carriage.

"Roar!"

He growled at the warhorse ridden by Qianhu in front of him, his scarlet eyes mingled with the might of a tiger that was half a step away from being a great demon.

In an instant, hundreds of cavalrymen from the Beijing camp on the opposite side were thrown to the ground.

"Tell me, who is your superior?"

Jia Cong rode on a white tiger and looked down at the captain of the Beijing camp in front of him.

"How dare you! How dare you attack the Beijing camp and resist the search? Do you, Rongguo Mansion, want to assassinate the king?"

The captain suddenly fell off his horse, his body covered in mud and looking in a miserable state.

Half out of shame and anger, half out of a desire to frame someone, he just shouted loudly.

A big hat was put directly on Jia Cong's head.

"No wonder, you didn't recognize me."

"I thought Rongguo Mansion was before..."

"I guess you are not from the capital, so you were transferred from another camp to the capital camp?"

Jia Cong has already learned a lot from the captain's actions today.

With an amused look on his face, he stroked the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"He was being used as a gun and didn't even know it."

"Forget it. I am too lazy to ask you who is behind this."

"He wants to embarrass me. I'll see if he can make up for it later." As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Cong raised his right hand and waved it lightly in the face of the incredulous gaze of the captain of the Beijing camp in front of him.

"Kill, leave no one alive!"

"Keng!"

As soon as he finished speaking, behind Jia Cong, the seventy-two ghost soldiers led by Zhang Li and Zhang Mang put on their armor.

The spear pointed sideways.

The two sides were only a dozen meters apart, which was too short.

It is simply impossible to fully exert the impact of the warhorse under his crotch.

But it is enough to deal with these soldiers from the Beijing Camp who have an average strength of only two or three levels of body forging!

There was no shouting of killing, and no need for courage to boost morale.

After just one round of fighting, half of the more than 300 cavalrymen brought by the thousand households of the Beijing camp were killed.

The second level of body building, with a strength of 200 kilograms in both arms!

Seventh level of body building, with a strength of 700 kilograms in both arms!

The gap between them is as huge as heaven and earth, and it is not as simple as just looking at the multiples.

The open space in front of the camp was dyed red with blood, and more than a dozen seriously injured soldiers were still wailing on the ground.

"Crazy, just like a madman."

"Here we go again, this guy has such a strong murderous intent."

"This happened on the first day of the autumn hunt. This is going to be a big deal."

"I don't know who is so blind to provoke this guy again this time."

Several officials and dignitaries who came from a distance looked at this scene and immediately shrank their necks.

It was not until this time that the captain who led the troops came to his senses.

Since the founding of Daqian, the relaxation of military preparedness is inevitable.

It has become an unspoken rule for soldiers to go out and help generals with private work. As long as they don't make too big a fuss, their superiors will not pursue it.

But now the matter has been made so big in public, and there are so many important people in the camp.

This is something that cannot be suppressed even if you want to.

"You, how dare you..." The captain of the Beijing camp pointed at Jia Cong with trembling eyes.

Who could have thought that the other party would dare to order his guards to attack and kill officers and soldiers in public.

According to Daqian laws, this is tantamount to rebellion!
Before he could finish his words, the ghost soldiers turned around and started the second wave of killing.

It seemed that a long spear was about to pierce the neck of the captain of the Beijing camp.

Suddenly there was a shout from a distance.

"Stop, everyone stop!"

But the ghost soldiers always obeyed Jia Cong's orders.

Even if he was ordered to die again, he would not hesitate for a moment, so why would he care about other people's shouts?

A moment later
"puff!"

The spear pierced through the neck and nailed the captain to the ground.

The sound of horse hooves came from afar.

More than thirty cavalrymen rushed over, surrounding a middle-aged general.

"This this……"

"Uncle Ziyi, you are slaughtering the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp in public. Are you planning to rebel?"

The middle-aged general looked at the bodies of more than 300 Beijing camp officers and soldiers on the ground, his fingers trembling as he spoke angrily.

There are several troops stationed in the city of Shenjing.

The largest army was the "Twelve Regiments Camp", commonly known as the "Beijing Camp", with a total of 120,000 troops.

The most elite are the Shenwu Guards, which are the elite of the elite selected and formed during the several northern expeditions of Emperor Kaiyuan.

There are only 8,000 of them, but they claim to be able to defeat ten enemies with one.

The greatest achievement of the 8,000 Divine Guards was defeating 50,000 grassland cavalry in the Mobei grassland.

In addition, there are more than 10,000 Dragon Guards stationed in the imperial palace.

Many sons of nobles paid to take up a position in the Dragon Guards. On the one hand, it gave them an official title, and on the other hand, it was a way to express their loyalty to the royal family.

This is also the only military force controlled by Emperor Shunde.

The middle-aged general in front of him was Zhang Tingjun, the commander of the second-rank Dragon Guard.

He was a relative of Empress Dowager Zhang, the biological mother of Emperor Shunde.

During the autumn hunting season, he was responsible for the security of the hunting camp and temporarily served as the commander of the Beijing camp.
