Father can be an enemy to the country

Ping An's display of power greatly boosted the morale of the Qingzhou guards. More and more officers and soldiers stood between the Sixth Prince and the Qi King's army.

On the side of King Qi's army, no one dared to fight despite the ferocity of their cries.

As soon as the stress reaction of seeing their prince being captured subsided and their brains resumed thinking for a moment, they realized that not only were there three princes on the opposite side, but one of them was the head of the vassal and the only three princes of the Ming Dynasty! They still have the emperor's imperial edict to arrest King Qi, and even their King Qi.

Not to mention that they are now protected by Ping'an and Qingzhou soldiers. Even if they weren't, would they still dare to lay a finger on them? The emperor will destroy their entire family...

Of course, only officers can think so clearly. Most soldiers are still confused, but this does not prevent them from instinctively realizing that this battle cannot be fought.

Zhu Zhen was keenly aware of the hesitation of King Qi's army, so he loudly said to them: "Soldiers, don't be impulsive. King Qi is my brother. As long as you don't mess around, I will not hurt his life."

"You know very well what good things he did in Qingzhou. If he hadn't done something so outrageous, how could your father let me come to arrest him?! It's true that you are the guardian of the King of Qi, but don't forget, 豼We are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty first, and our first allegiance is to the emperor! If you think what I said is wrong, you might as well stand up and say that I am only loyal to the King of Qi! I respect you as a good man!"

"..." The officers and soldiers of King Qi's army looked at each other, who dared to say this? Their parents were die-hard royalists who followed Boss Zhu to conquer the world. If they dare to say this, their father will hang them up and beat them when they get home.

Zhu Zhen waited for a while, and when no one said anything, he continued: "Right, I know that you are all loyal to the emperor, so they wanted to send a large army to protect me, but I refused. I came from the Ming Dynasty. Qingzhou City, there are a whole army of Ming Dynasty in Qingzhou City. With you protecting me, what danger can I be in? "

When the soldiers of King Qi's army heard this, they completely extinguished their fire. This made the Sixth Prince put on his hat. How dare he take action...

"..." Eleven and Twelve were very excited when they heard this. The former took out his small notebook again. Brother Six is ​​really good at giving speeches and understands people's hearts so well!

Lao Qi suddenly felt like he was being confronted by a tauren, and he was so anxious that he wanted to jump and curse. It's a pity that he was tied up tightly and even his mouth was stuffed with rags. He was whimpering and speechless.

"I solemnly promise you once again that firstly, I will never harm King Qi; secondly, I will never wrongly accuse King Qi; thirdly, as long as you obey orders and obey my command, I will be responsible for you to the end. I will give you the best arrangements and will never let you become a motherless child." After Zhu Zhen finished speaking, his eyes turned cold, he glanced around, and then said with murderous intent:

"Whoever dares to disobey my king's orders will be violating the emperor's imperial edict and will be punished as treason! Do you hear me clearly?!"

"Yes..." Although Qi Wangjun's answer was inconsistent, a response was enough. This is enough to completely defeat their determination to share the same hatred...

"Louder! I didn't hear you clearly!" Zhu Zhen continued to press.

"Yes!" The answer was much louder this time. In fact, the voices of the soldiers who spoke were louder, but it did sound like more people spoke.

"That's good!" Zhu Zhen nodded with satisfaction and raised his voice: "All King Qi's guards listen to my order. The officers will lead the team back to the camp immediately. No one can leave the camp without my order!"

After a pause, he added: "Anyone who still lingers within a stick of incense will be regarded as treason and will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!" Ping An led the crowd to respond loudly, and his Qingzhou soldiers were waiting eagerly.

A sergeant lit the incense stick and held it high in his hand. The smoke curled up, confusing the hearts of the soldiers of King Qi's army.

The officers and soldiers of King Qi's army were in a mess. The officers discussed countermeasures with each other. They had great differences of opinion and even began to curse each other.

Zhu Zhen was not worried at all. From the moment he took down Lao Qi, the outcome was already doomed.

To put it bluntly, the mission of King Qi's army is to protect King Qi. King Qi has become his hostage, so what reason do they have to fight?

Sure enough, when one-third of the incense sticks were burned, an officer of King Qi's army stopped talking to his colleagues and ordered the troops to gather back to the camp.

This kind of thing is easy to handle as long as there is a leader. When only one-third of the incense sticks were left, most of the officers ordered them to take them back.

At this time, the Qi King's soldiers at the city gate were already less than one-tenth of the Qingzhou soldiers. What the hell?

Finally, before the incense burned out, even the die-hard royalists had no choice but to return to the camp...

At this time, Ping An also took over the inner and outer gates as quickly as possible, and ordered Qingzhou soldiers to maintain martial law on both sides of the road leading to Prince Qi's Mansion.

After everything was arranged, he stepped forward to pay homage to the Sixth Prince and his entourage.

"Brother Ping'an, how many years have we not seen each other?" Zhu Zhen gave him an affectionate bear hug.

Because he is not an outsider, he is Boss Zhu’s youngest adopted son, Ping An Ping Baoer!

When the sixth brothers were training in Fengyang, Boss Zhu specially transferred Ping An to Fengyang Guard as the commander, responsible for the security of their brothers.

As a result, the errand was messed up, and Brother Liu and several others were kidnapped by people from the Ming Cult, which almost caused a catastrophe...

Although there was no danger in the end and Boss Zhu did not punish him, he has been branded as unusable since then, so in these years of imperial wars, he never got a chance to play.

"We haven't seen each other for ten years..." Ping An looked at Zhu Zhen, who was already more than half a head taller than him, and felt infinite emotion in his heart. "The prince has become the pillar of the country, but Ping An has been lost to everyone..."

It has been ten years. Lan Yu and Mu Ying, who started from the same starting point as him, have been feudal lords for many years and are ambitiously advancing towards becoming the Duke of the country. But he was living in Shandong, waiting to die, and was tortured to death by Lao Qi. No one would compare them to each other anymore...

"Hey, Brother Ping'an, don't say that." Zhu Zhen had high expectations for him. He put his arm around his shoulders and said, "In my eyes, you are the top figure among the new generation of generals in the Ming Dynasty. After ten years of sharpening the sword, you will definitely The edge is even stronger, this time the king is here to draw the sword!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for trusting Ping An!" Ping An's eyes suddenly turned red: "Ping An will not disappoint Your Majesty!"

"Hahaha, of course I trust you!" Zhu Zhen laughed and said, "Otherwise I wouldn't dare to come to Qingzhou like this."

"As soon as I heard that the prince came to Shandong, the general wanted to go to see him immediately and complain to the prince." Pingan said with emotion: "But suddenly he received a secret order from the prince, telling the general not to go to Yanzhou and just wait in Qingzhou. While I was preparing to welcome the prince, I also speculated on how the prince would deal with King Qi. Unexpectedly... I captured him in one encounter. "

"Haha, it's hard to deal with others. I still have experience in dealing with Lao Qi." Zhu Zhen laughed and patted Ping An's back and said:

"Come on, if you have any questions, let's talk about it in the city."
