"In that case, thank the Residence Master!" Jiang Ning cupped his hands.
A mont later.
Jiang Ning ca out of the Inspection Office, laden with returns.
With the evidence that Zhao Yulong had prepared in advance for him, he now had a justified cause.
What is the law of the king.
Holding the evidence against the perpetrators from the Five Sword Sect, he now commanded authority, which was the king’s law.
"Right, and there are also the troops!" Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but smile.
He headed towards the barracks outside the city.
Outside Dongling City.
There was a barrack.
A total of three thousand people.
Three thousand people, this was the personnel size of a barrack.
And the troops of the barrack outside the city were under the control of Capital Commandant Yan Duwei.
With three thousand troops in hand, Yan Duwei beca an entity in Dongling County not to be provoked.
After all, these three thousand troops were truly elite soldiers.
Each was fully armored, ard to the teeth.
And each was a Martial Arts Entry ranked existence.
There were also quite a few Martial Arts Strongn among them.
...
Outside Dongling City.
In the camp’s large tent.
Jiang Ning waited leisurely for Yan Duwei’s arrival.
On the other side.
"Father, what is Jiang Ning doing coming to the barracks?" Yan Youjiao followed behind his father Yan Yikuan and spoke.
"You’ll know when you see." Yan Duwei said lightly.
"Father, since he ca to us first, why not humiliate him a bit!" Behind him, Yan Youjiao suggested to his father.
Jiang Ning had taken the Military Examination chieftain title which originally belonged to him, and it remained a sore point.
anwhile.
Upon hearing his son’s words, Yan Yikuan stopped and turned to look at Yan Youjiao.
"Father, what’s going on?" Looking at his father’s solemn face, Yan Youjiao felt a bit afraid.
"Foolish!" Yan Yikuan chastised in a low voice: "Jiang Ning, what kind of status does he hold now? Humiliating him, you want to provoke a Martial Arts and officialdom nesis for your father?"
"Father is a standard fifth-grade Capital Commandant of the court, why fear Jiang Ning, rely a secondary sixth-rank official!" Yan Youjiao instinctively retorted at his father’s scolding.
"In the future, when you go out, don’t say you’re my son! Everyone says a tiger father has no dog son, how did I have you, this fool!" Yan Yikuan looked upon his son with disappointnt.
A bit weaker in strength, a bit lacking in skill, he didn’t consider important.
After all, not everyone in the world is a Martial Arts Strongman.
But stupidity, that he could not accept.
Too foolish, one day he might provoke soone who would end his official career.
"Father!!!" Looking at his father’s gaze, Yan Youjiao spoke again.
Yan Yikuan looked at him, shaking his head: "Do you know that Jiang Ning once t with the second son of Prince Huaian, Lu Zhao, in Guangning City? Do you know that the County Governor’s eldest daughter, Wang Qintan, originally went to Guangning City to et Lu Zhao?"
"Do you know that Jiang Ning brought Wang Qintan back from Guangning City, and the two traveled together!"
Yan Youjiao said: "Father, what does that signify?"
Seeing Yan Youjiao’s perplexed expression, Yan Yikuan shook his head again.
"If your father were to arrange for you to et an official’s daughter, with the intention that you marry her, in such a situation where a low-status man wants to take away that official’s daughter, and the two have feelings for each other, would you agree?"
"How could that be agreed upon!" Yan Youjiao said: "That would be a great disgrace to !!!"
"You also know it would be a great disgrace!" Yan Yikuan lightly glanced at his son: "Then think for yourself, what would be the thoughts of Prince Huaian’s second son, Lu Zhao? And how did Jiang Ning bring Wang Qintan back?"
Leaving these words, Yan Yikuan walked towards the camp’s large tent.
anwhile, Yan Youjiao paused, his expression shifting constantly.
...
A mont later.
In the camp’s large tent.
Yan Yikuan had his subordinates wait outside the tent while he lifted the curtain and walked in alone.
"Capital Commandant Yan!" Jiang Ning saw Yan Yikuan appear, got up and cupped his hands.
"Lord Jiang, what brings you to my barracks today!" Yan Yikuan’s square face wore a faint smile.
Jiang Ning said: "I have co today to request a favor!"
"Feel free to speak of your request, Lord Jiang!" Yan Yikuan waved grandly.
"I need to borrow a troop from Capital Commandant Yan!" Jiang Ning said.
"Borrow a troop?" Yan Yikuan looked at Jiang Ning with a surprised expression.
"For what purpose does Lord Jiang request to borrow a troop?" He asked, then added: "I’m not saying I won’t lend them, but I need to know where they are going, as this is a part of my responsibilities."
"I understand!" Jiang Ning nodded, then said: "There are nurous individuals in the Five Sword Sect involved in murder cases; the governnt office dares not capture them. As the Dongling County Patrol Envoy, how can I sit by idly?"
"Lord Jiang intends to act against the Five Sword Sect?" Yan Yikuan’s expression turned serious, his heart secretly shocked.
As a Capital Commandant, he was well aware of the current situation in Dongling County.
The sect forces in Dongling County, due to the ergence of the Yingtian Alliance, had gradually solidified.
Acting so openly against the Five Sword Sect was tantamount to declaring war on the local sect forces of Dongling County.
Once war is declared, reconciliation will be difficult.
The governnt would either have to completely bow down or totally suppress the sect forces, leaving them without the strength to resist.
"Lord Jiang, you must think carefully! The sect forces in Dongling County are effectively unified now; once the bow is drawn, there is no turning back! To stand against the sects in the county, it’s no help even if you borrow an entire battalion from !"
Jiang Ning shook his head: "Capital Commandant Yan overthinks it; my aim is not to be the enemy of all local sects in Dongling County, but to target only the Five Sword Sect!"
At this, Jiang Ning sighed: "Currently, the Five Sword Sect is aggressively pressuring the Water Moon Sword Palace, giving reason to act."
"The Water Moon Sword Palace?" Yan Yikuan was taken aback.
Suddenly recalling sothing, understanding dawned in his heart.
He couldn’t help but laugh heartily: "So, Lord Jiang is driven to anger for a sultry affair!"
Jiang Ning smiled.
Yan Yikuan said: "I see now why Lord Jiang wants to act against the Five Sword Sect! When one’s woman is bullied, it’s indeed the right ti to act!"
"How about this! I’ll lend Captain Feng’s troop to assist Lord Jiang, how does that sound?"
Upon hearing this.
Jiang Ning cupped his hands in thanks: "Then first, many thanks to Capital Commandant Yan!"
"All compatriots under the sa sky, how could we not lend a helping hand!" Yan Yikuan smiled.
Knowing Jiang Ning’s reason for action.
He also understood that Jiang Ning was not looking to be the enemy of all local sects in Dongling County, but rely wanted to alleviate the situation at the Water Moon Sword Palace.
And if he wanted the Five Sword Sect to stop and return what they had taken, sufficient strength was naturally required.
He understood why Jiang Ning ca to borrow a troop.
With a troop in hand, the Five Sword Sect would naturally have to be cautious and consider Jiang Ning’s stance seriously.
Understanding that Jiang Ning wasn’t against all local sects, he was happy to extend a convenient favor.
Monts later.
Feng Xiaocheng appeared in full armor in the tent.
And Feng Xiaocheng was indeed Feng Jiuge’s father.
Upon seeing Jiang Ning, Feng Xiaocheng was slightly taken aback.
"Greetings, Capital Commandant Yan!" Feng Xiaocheng greeted and saluted Yan Yikuan.
Then he cupped his hands to Jiang Ning: "Lord Jiang!"
Jiang Ning also cupped his hands towards Feng Xiaocheng in acknowledgnt.
"Captain, you’ve summoned , what are your orders?" asked Feng Xiaocheng.
"Return and gather the troops, temporarily following Orders from Lord Jiang!" Yan Yikuan ordered.
"Yes, I accept the order!" Feng Xiaocheng accepted the military order, bearing a solemn deanor.
"Lord Jiang, is a troop of five hundred n sufficient?" Yan Yikuan first handed the military order to Feng Xiaocheng, then asked Jiang Ning.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning understood Yan Yikuan’s aning clearly.
The military order had been issued, and then questioning him conveyed a very clear attitude.
He imdiately nodded: "Sufficient!"
To him, a troop of five hundred elite soldiers was indeed sufficient.
Capturing the Five Sword Sect didn’t rely on this troop.
But on himself and his subordinates.
The purpose of this troop was to prevent the sect disciples from scattering and fleeing.
