On the official road in the capital of the Xia Kingdom, dozens of horses came with their hooves raised. This group of people and horses came wearing battle armor. It was Qin Xiaotian and others who had received the imperial edict from Longhua City and returned to the capital to resume their duties.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" A sound of horses sounded, and dozens of war horses came to a city wall that was out of sight. They stopped in front of the city wall and turned over and dismounted.

"I have seen the eldest young master." An old man who looked like an old housekeeper quickly came to Qin Xiaotian and saluted respectfully. Behind the old man, a dozen men in fine clothes also said in unison: "I have seen the eldest young master."

Master."

Qin Xiaotian saw the old man's salute, and quickly stepped forward to support the old man's double wall. He said with a respectful expression: "Uncle Hei, you must not do this. You are destroying Xiao Tian."

"Commander Zhang, what the general learned back then was taught by Mr. Hei." Hu Tian's voice rang in Zhang Huaming's ears.

"Master." When Zhang Huaming saw this old man, he felt a strong sense of danger in his heart, so he immediately knew that the seemingly frail old man in front of him was actually a master, and his cultivation was definitely above that of Wuzong.

When the old man heard Qin Xiaotian's words, he showed a weak smile on his face and said: "I am a servant of the Qin family, and the young master is the young master of the Qin family. It is appropriate for the old slave to salute."

When Qin Xiaotian heard the old man's words, he immediately showed a look of displeasure on his face and said: "Uncle Hei, you have watched Xiaotian grow up. Doesn't Uncle Hei still understand Xiaotian's personality? It should be the old guy who asked you to come this time.

!”

When the old man heard Qin Xiaotian's words, he smiled bitterly and said, "Master, it's been so many years, why do you have to keep worrying about it? Last time I went to court in person to have a big quarrel with the previous head of the Liu family because of the young master.

After a meal, let him go by the wayside!"

"In the past?" When Qin Xiaotian heard the words of the old housekeeper who seemed like his mentor and father, his eyes suddenly widened and he said angrily: "Is it so easy? If he hadn't stopped him in every possible way, how could Xiaolan have encountered any accident?

?Uncle Hei, if you simply come to see Xiaotian today, Xiaotian will accompany Uncle Hei to reminisce about the past. If you want to speak for him, please forgive Xiaotian for being unreasonable, and Xiaotian will go to the palace to resume his life."

The old man seemed to have known that Qin Xiaotian would react this way, so he smiled helplessly and said: "Since the young master has the emperor's orders, I don't dare to disturb him, so I will leave first."

"please."

In the splendid palace, Zheng Chenggong sat on the dragon chair and listened to the civil and military officials below reporting on the situation in each region one by one.

"Report! Marshal Qin Xiaotian has come to report." A report sounded from outside the palace.

"Wow!" The entire civil and military officials in the court were shocked. Hundreds of eyes turned to the palace gate, and then five figures appeared in front of the palace gate.

"Finally, General Qin Xiaotian will meet with His Majesty the Emperor."

"The last generals Wang Hu, Wang Bao, Wang Shi and Zhang Huaming are here to see His Majesty the Emperor."

When Zheng Chenggong saw the fear that all the civil and military officials in the court felt when they saw Qin Xiaotian, he secretly sneered in his heart, then waved his hands with a smile on his face and said: "All the beloved generals will be safe."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Xiaotian and others all stood up. Qin Xiaotian's eyes swept over the civil and military officials of the court one by one. He only paused for two people. One was his father, King Qin, and the other was.

There was a pause on Liu Heng, the head of the Liu family, but the two paused gazes were different. The pause on King Qin was a very complex gaze, while the pause on Liu Heng was a murderous gaze.

Zhang Huaming took advantage of this free time and cast his eyes on the head of the Zhang family, who was in charge of the financial power in the court. He was also the father of the owner of his unfortunate body. The latter seemed to feel the gaze of his son.

After seeing the armor mark on Zhang Huaming's body, his expression was obviously slightly stunned. He obviously didn't expect Zhang Huaming to climb to this position so quickly!

"This kid actually holds the position of chief of staff?" Even after Zhang Wubing knew some of the deeds of this cheap son from his father in advance, he still couldn't believe that his son could climb to this position in just one year.

, others don't know the organization of the Tiger Regiment, but as the person in charge of the entire Xia Kingdom's finances, he knows very well that although the Tiger Regiment only has one army, in fact, the actual number of men and horses has reached three armies, and the combat effectiveness is even more

Reaching the combat effectiveness of the fourth and fifth armies, the Xia State Army Tiger Regiment occupies half of it every year.

Zhang Huaming clearly felt that his cheap dad looked at him with a lot of doubts and complicated expressions. He frowned slightly and looked away.

Zheng Chenggong took in the performance of the civil and military officials in the court one by one. Just when he was about to speak, three figures appeared at the palace door. When Zheng Chenggong saw these three figures, a wry smile appeared on his face. The reason

Otherwise, the person who came was none other than the previous generation heads of the Qin, Zhang, and Liu families.

"Weak minister, I will finally see your Majesty."

"Three elders are exempt from courtesy. I wonder what important business the three elders have here?" Zheng Chenggong secretly prayed in his heart that these three old foxes would never bring up the old matters again.

"Replying to your Majesty, I have heard that my grandson has returned to Beijing this time to resume his duties. This time I came here to inquire about the whole story of the last incident so that some interested people can give an explanation." Qin Li replied seriously, but his eyes were staring at Liu Mao.

A look of guilt.

The more worried Zheng Chenggong was, he would come to whatever he wanted. He nodded with a helpless expression, then looked at Liu Mao and smiled bitterly: "Then why did Mr. Liu come here?"

Liu Mao responded with a calm expression: "Your Majesty, I am just worried that some people will turn things upside down and throw dirty water on my grandson."

Zheng Chenggong shook his head helplessly again and looked at Zhang Xiaotian with a wry smile on his face.

Zhang Xiaotian seemed to know the meaning of His Majesty's expression, so he responded with a smile: "Your Majesty, I am going to court this time to hear that my grandson has returned. I just miss my grandson deeply and have no other intention."

"Grandson?" Zheng Gongcheng was slightly stunned when he heard Zhang Xiaotian's words. His eyes drifted directly to Zhang Huaming who was standing next to Qin Xiaotian, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

"Wow!" The entire civil and military officials in the court were immediately shocked when they heard Zhang Xiaotian's words. Hundreds of eyes were cast on Zhang Huaming. After all, Wang Hu and other four brothers and officials had seen each other at some point, and Zhang Xiaotian said today

When meeting their grandchildren, Zhang Huaming was most likely to be irritated, but they didn’t understand. In their impression, they didn’t seem to have heard of any son of the Zhang family joining the army! And suddenly a military member suddenly appeared.

What's weird is the son of the staff officer. He's still so young. How is this possible?

Zhang Huaming, who was used to seeing big winds and waves, was stared at by hundreds of eyes, and felt uncomfortable all over! So he turned his head away and looked like I didn't know the Zhang family. In fact, he didn't want to have anything when he came to this world.

Family, after all, he was used to living a free and unrestrained life in his previous life, and he didn't want to be tied down by anything. Coupled with the hatred of his original family in this body, he would not even recognize this so-called family affection.

Zhang Huaming's actions surprised all the civil and military officials in the court. The next moment, the officials' eyes were scanning back and forth on Zhang Xiaotian, Zhang Wubing, and Zhang Huaming.

Zhang Xiaotian frowned slightly when he saw his cheap grandson's actions, and sighed slightly the next moment. When his son Zhang Wubing who was following him heard his father's slight sigh, his expression changed slightly and he looked serious.

He shouted to Zhang Huaming with an expression on his face: "You traitor, come here quickly."

Zhang Huaming frowned slightly when he heard Zhang Wubing's shout, and glared at Zhang Wubing, the cheap man, with a murderous intent in his eyes. The latter was actually frightened by this look.

"Shut up." How many years has Zhang Xiaotian already lived? How could he not forgive his evil genius grandson for being disgusted with his Zhang family, so he stopped his son's stupid behavior?

"Your Majesty, in the battle of Yunzhong City, the last general failed to defend the city. Please punish him." Qin Xiaotian looked at the court and stood up, bowing and said.

"Yes." Zheng Chenggong smiled and waved his hand and said: "General Qin Ai, I have also heard about the battle in Yunzhong City. This time the Winter Kingdom launched a large-scale attack, and also dispatched three groups of troops to attack in turn. My beloved general can use a single force to attack."

The newly established vanguard battalion held off the enemy for three days and annihilated numerous enemy troops along the way. This is a great achievement, how can it be exceeded?"

"Your Majesty, we are about to file a complaint!" Wang Hu stepped forward and stood.

When Qin Xiaotian saw this scene, his expression changed and he shouted: "Shut up and get out."

"General." Wang Hu had an unconvinced expression on his face, but after being glared at by Qin Xiaotian, he pushed him aside with an angry expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, I think that if this matter is not resolved, it may affect the morale of our Xia army!" Qin Li stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty, I believe that if this matter is not resolved, it will affect the morale of our Xia army!" One-third of the civil and military officials in the DPRK stood up and said in unison.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Chenggong frowned slightly, and the next moment he looked at Wang Hu with a smile on his face and said, "General Wang, you just said you wanted to file a lawsuit against Yu, what do you mean?"

"Reporting to your majesty, before the fall of Yunzhong City, General Mo received a rescue letter from the general. The three brothers of General Mo mobilized three brigades overnight to support Yunzhong City. But who knew that General Liu stationed at Fengyun Pass used the excuse of war to

Delaying our support for one day caused the fall of Yunzhong City. Your Majesty, please clear our grievances. We will..."

"Fart, you are just a small general. It's rare for you to say that it is my grandson who stops you every day. Also, do you think His Majesty will believe what a mere general of yours says?" Liu Mao

Naturally, Wang Hu would not be allowed to continue speaking and would immediately interrupt Wang Hu.

"Yes or no, Prime Minister Liu will know when he recalls General Liu." Wang Hu responded calmly.

"Oh!" Liu Mao was speechless when he heard Wang Hu's bland response.

"How dare you, a mere general of yours, dare to talk to Old Prime Minister Liu like that? Come on, take it down." A burly man shouted coldly.

"How outrageous!" Wang Bao and Wang Shi saw several generals walking towards their eldest brother. They pressed their palms on the weapons in their waists, as if they were about to start a fight if they disagreed.

"How presumptuous!" Qin Xiaotian shouted loudly, and the entire court suddenly fell silent.

Qin Xiaotian's eyes scanned the generals who were about to come over one by one. After being scanned, they all fell back a few steps. Finally, his eyes scanned the burly man who issued the order and shouted coldly: "Liu Xiao, are you here?"

Your Majesty has the final say in the court, and my generals are not worthy of mentioning. But can you, a mere commander of the Guards, arrest people at will in the court? Or are you trying to bully me into having everyone in the Tigers? If you

If you are not convinced, you can make a point."

"Come just come, who is afraid of whom?" the Guards commander who was called to Liu Xiao said coldly.

"Huh!" Just when the two sides were tense, the emperor Zheng Chenggong in the court snorted coldly, and the tense atmosphere instantly collapsed.

"Look at you, those who use swords and martial arts in the court, don't you take me seriously?" Zheng Chenggong said with an angry look on his face.

"Weak minister, eventually he will be found guilty."

"Since you are not convinced, it will be easy to handle, Liu Xiao and Qin Xiaotian."

"The end will be here."

"Both sides were at fault for what happened in Yunzhong City. Qin Xiaotian was rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and a unicorn war horse for his meritorious service in killing the enemy. The generals in the army who had meritorious service in killing the enemy were each rewarded with a thousand taels of silver."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

"General Liu delayed the military flight and was fined one year's salary as punishment."

"yes."

"Okay, let's let this matter go. Liu Xiao, since you and Qin Xiaotian are so unconvinced, it's easy to handle. Today I will give you two a chance to compete. There are five people on Qin Xiaotian's side. You can also start from the guards.

Five people will be selected from the army to compete. No matter who wins or loses, this matter will not be mentioned again in the future. The time will be set at noon three days later. Do you have any objections?"
