Zhang Liu's men rushed to the guards they were responsible for and began to complete the tasks assigned by Zhang Liu.

"Brothers, something big has happened!"

"The Minister of War, Lord Li, was killed by being hacked into pieces!"

Just one sentence attracted the attention of all the soldiers who were eating.

Li Gengyuan ruled the Nando Garrison Camp for more than ten years. Everyone knew that both the withheld military pay and the unethical decrees were from his hand.

When they heard that he was dead, the lower-level soldiers were subconsciously happy.

But no one dared to show it.

"real or fake?"

"Brother, this kind of thing is not something you can joke about. It could be fatal!"

At first, no one dared to believe this good news.

"Of course it's true. The bodies have been brought back. You will be able to see them later."

After these words were spoken, everyone finally believed the news, but it was still a little hard to believe.

"How could Lord Li die with so many people protecting him?" someone asked.

"Of course it's because it wasn't a human who killed him."

The soldier who delivered the message kept the question in suspense at first.

"If it's not a human, then what is it?"

"Could it be that the wronged ghost is seeking revenge?"

"It's not a wronged soul, it's a punishment from God!"

The soldier who delivered the message said solemnly.

"At that time, the two thousand of us were chasing after the disciples of Cihang Temple. Suddenly, the immortal appeared in front of everyone with brilliant light. With a wave of his hand, a strong wind was raised, blowing all the arrows to the ground. Everyone was shocked."

"Lord Li was almost scared to death, and we quickly asked them to protect him in the middle. But who would have thought that the fairy would just stand there and raise her hand to grab him. Lord Li was taken away by her, even though there were thousands of soldiers and horses!"

"Then she announced all of Lord Li's crimes on the spot and had him cut into pieces!"

"You know that captain of the Loyal and Brave Guards, he is a man who usually does many evil things. He was probably feeling guilty at the time and wanted to slip away. He ran more than ten feet away, but was caught by the immortal. After he was questioned about his crimes, he was beheaded on the spot!"

"Those people in the Loyal and Brave Guards are so happy!"

The soldiers who listened to his story no longer had any doubt about the truth of the story.

Since two thousand people saw it with their own eyes, even if he boasted, it wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Since they were not at the scene, they did not feel such a strong fear. Instead, they had a favorable impression of the immortal.

"So, he is really a good god who punishes evil and encourages good!"

"If this matter gets out, I wonder if those people in the upper echelons can restrain themselves."

"It would be great if that immortal could kill all the corrupt officials. Then our lives would be much better in the future."

"Alas, that's wishful thinking. Everyone, keep your voices down. If the higher-ups hear us, we're done for!"

The soldier who delivered the message heard the discussion and said:

"Don't worry, your wish will definitely come true!"

"Because that immortal will descend upon the Nandu Garrison Camp tomorrow to kill the corrupt officials and redress our injustice!"

The soldiers present were suddenly surprised and delighted, and said:

"This is truly God's will!"

When they learned that they had to compile a list of the crimes of corrupt officials so that they could submit them to the gods tomorrow, everyone was a little scared at first.

But among the two thousand people who were going to carry out the mission today, after finding someone to confirm that the soldiers who delivered the message were all telling the truth, those soldiers who had deep hatred for their superiors began to grow bolder.

They all accused their superiors of various crimes to the soldier who delivered the message. In order to ensure that no one was making up stories to take revenge on personal grudges, the accusers had to put their fingerprints on what they said.

By late afternoon, Zhang Liu's trusted men had collected many complaints from the remaining 4,000 soldiers in the camp.

At this time, a burly and bearded general rode a tall horse and led hundreds of cavalry and more than two thousand infantry into the camp.

This person was Captain He of the Nando Garrison Camp.

This man was the most senior among all the thousand households and was the most trusted by the Minister of War Li Gengyuan. Therefore, he led a group of troops alone to another direction to encircle the disciples of Cihang Temple.

"Why did Lord Li send the order back to the camp? Did they capture anyone along the way?"

He casually asked the soldier guarding the gate.

"of course not."

A burly general with a mustache and small eyes came out and answered him.

This person is Zhang Liu.

"No, then why did you ask us to come back?" Captain He was very confused.

Zhang Liu said calmly:

"I don't know either. Why don't I take Brother He to ask Lord Li in person?"

"Why don't you leave quickly?" Captain He said in a commanding tone.

As Li Gengyuan's confidant, he has always looked down upon Zhang Liu, a captain who was promoted by a eunuch.

"Brother He, please."

Zhang Liu led people to the room where Li Gengyuan's body was placed.

Seeing that the room was empty, Captain He frowned and asked:

"Didn't you say you would take me to see Lord Li? Where is he?"

"Don't worry, brother He. I'll take you there right away."

As soon as Zhang Liu finished speaking, a dagger slipped out of his sleeve and he stabbed He Qianhu's neck with lightning speed.

Before leaving, the abbot also taught him some skills, allowing him to possess strength and speed far beyond that of ordinary people.

But he never exposed this in the military camp.

He Qianhu was just an ordinary person. He was no match for Zhang Liu in terms of strength or speed. When he wanted to block, it was too late.

He was stabbed in the neck and died instantly.

Zhang Liu wiped the blood stains on the dagger onto He Qianhu's clothes and a smile appeared on his face.

Among Li Gengyuan's subordinates, Captain He is the most shrewd and difficult to deal with. If we deal with him, there will be no need to worry about any accidents.

The three thousand soldiers brought back by Captain He also began to be infiltrated by Zhang Liu in the same way.

Even though many lower-level soldiers did not register their complaints against their superiors, they all began to look forward to tomorrow.

However, after half of the 3:00 p.m., unexpected events occurred in the barracks of each guard.

In the barracks of the Brave Guards, one could hear the sound of dense footsteps outside the barracks of each guard.

The thousand households led their hundred households and their hired slaves and thugs, dozens of people, and rushed into the barracks in a mighty and aggressive manner.

At this time, many soldiers were still surrounding the man under Zhang Liu and were recording the complaint.

Seeing their captain coming in with his thugs, everyone started to hide in panic.

"stop!"

The captain of the Brave Guards shouted majestically, and everyone subconsciously stood still in fear.

His thugs rushed forward, held down the man sent by Zhang Liu, took away the thick complaint from his men, and handed it over to his own captain.

Apparently, their actions were leaked to the generals.

The captain of the brave guards held the thick stack of petitions, his face full of murderous intent:

"You bastards are so brave that you want to sue me to the so-called gods, and you also want the so-called gods to kill me?"

"Oh, I want to see who dies first!"

"Come here, catch all the people who put their fingerprints on the top!"

His thugs immediately rushed into the crowd to arrest people.

Even though the number of soldiers far exceeded that of Qianhu's thugs, no one dared to stand up and resist.

On the one hand, these soldiers were usually underfed, thin, and their weapons were poorly maintained. On the other hand, the thugs were well fed by the thousand households, and they were all big and strong, and their weapons were also very sharp.

There is a huge gap in combat power between the two sides.

On the other hand, everyone was deeply afraid of the thousand households and hundred households. No one dared to be the first to act.

The end result was that no one stepped forward.

The lower-level soldiers who had pressed their fingerprints were pulled out one by one like quails, standing in the middle of the open space with despair on their faces.

The gods will come tomorrow morning, but they can't wait any longer.
