When Lijun's army invaded the prefect's palace in Anling County, it was so empty that it didn't look like a prefect's palace at all.
The soldiers went straight into the palace hall without encountering any decent resistance. In that magnificent but empty and even eerie hall, they saw the terrifying-looking prefect of Anling County.
His hair was messy, his face was purple, his eyes were protruding, and his lips were dark. He had obviously taken poison and died.
But the strange thing is that no matter how powerful the poison is, it will definitely bring the final pain to the deceased, but the face of the Anling County prefect can't see much pain, but there is a trace of the soldiers regardless of the pain. A smile that is incomprehensible.
Making him look even more terrifying.
No one dared to touch the corpse of the Anling County prefect. It was not until the civil war in Roucheng completely subsided that Chen Jingzhi came to the hall in person. He reached out to the nose of the corpse for the first time. Naturally, it was already cold. .
The woman in white who came to the palace with Chen Jingzhi also probed the middle-aged man's nose, and then asked, "This...are you sure he is the prefect of Anling County?"
Chen Jingzhi shook his head and said, "I can't be sure, but there should be many prisoners in the palace. We'll just bring some people over to identify them later, but...it's most likely that's it."
The woman in white was naturally Qianxue. She didn't seem to care at all about the terrifying appearance of the corpse. She even had the leisure to wander on the high platform of the hall for a while, and then said with some emotion, "Although the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy, this An The prefect of Ling County is indeed a bit pitiful. Many places in this palace are covered with dust. If even the palace attendants in the prefect's palace dare to treat him like this, you can only imagine what other people are like."
Chen Jingzhi did not disrespect the corpse, but walked down the high platform with the throne again, "Anling County has been weak for many years. I once heard General Lu comment on the prefects of the world, saying that this Anling County prefect is also a good one. It's just that I wasn't born into a good family. The palace attendants are just eunuchs. In Chunyang City," he stretched out his hand to touch a new scar on his neck, "but there was an outstanding man who was willing to die for him... ....”
Qianxue was still sitting on the high platform holding the throne of the prefect, flipping through the books and memorials on the case table. Hearing this, he looked up at Chen Jingzhi with a smile, "Is it considered a good life to be born in the prefect's family? "She picked up a book and opened it to read, "If you put it this way, Luo Chuan, who was thrown into Zhongjing City as a hostage since he was a child, had a bad life."
How could Chen Jingzhi dare to take up such a topic? He could only stay away from this ruthless character on the high platform who was completely disrespectful and had a mysterious background. Fortunately, the current situation did not give him too much embarrassing time. After a while, there was The soldiers brought a dozen crying and panic-stricken women to the main hall.
In fact, there was no need to identify the dozens of women who were still wearing thin and gorgeous clothes in the winter. As soon as they entered the hall, they saw the miserable state of the middle-aged man in the throne room. They were all so frightened that they screamed out again and again. They hugged each other and chanted "Master Taishou", which proved the identity of the person on the throne.
Chen Jingzhi frowned a little. He pointed at the group of women and asked the general who brought them here.

He said, "Who among these is the wife of the prefect of Anling County?"
The soldier he was questioning looked away and hesitated for a long time without saying a word.
Chen Jingzhi's heart suddenly sank, and he immediately sent an order to summon the officers above the military rank to gather. After a while, except for a few who still had military affairs and could not come, a group of Cangyan officers headed by General He Ruoxiong gathered together. The only one missing was Captain Cao Xingliang!
Everyone was surprised and confused, their eyes scanning the dozen or so gorgeously dressed women in the corner of the hall, exchanging glances.
Chen Jingzhi didn't say a word, but stood in the hall with a livid face. All the officers knew that something big had happened, and none of them dared to breathe. In the whole hall, except for the mysterious woman in white on the high platform, she turned around from time to time. Apart from the sound of the book, there was no sound at all.
After a while, Captain Cao Xingliang hurriedly came in from outside the main hall, took a quick look at Chen Jingzhi's face, then trotted back to his seat and stood up.
Then, Chen Jingzhi slowly spoke, "He Ruoxiong, Lijun Military Regulations Article 9, memorize it!!"
He Ruoxiong was shocked when he heard this. He glanced at Cao Xingliang who was standing at his head before stepping out and replied, "Destroy the enemy and plunder, force women into prostitution, abuse the people, kill innocent people without permission, behead!"
There was a sudden silence in the main hall, and all the officers were even more silent, not daring to raise their heads.
Because Chen Jingzhi surrendered Lijun Military Regulations instead of Cangyan Military Regulations or Taiming Military Regulations. There are 13 military regulations in Lijun, which are above all local military regulations and apply to all Lijun troops. The most important thing is What's more, these thirteen military regulations must be eliminated! !
Chen Jingzhi called over the hundred generals who had brought the dozen women in earlier and asked, "When the army invaded the prefect's palace, was the wife of the prefect of Anling County still in the harem?"
The hundred generals were immediately frightened to the point of sweating on their foreheads. Hearing this, he nodded with a trembling voice, "Come on... General, I'm... here..."
Chen Jingzhi asked again, "Where is she now?!"
The hundred generals knelt on the ground with a bang and kowtowed, "General, I don't even know...I don't know where the wife of the prefect of Anling County is now...!"
The officers didn't know what was happening. They all looked at Cao Xingliang with disbelief on their faces.
"Cao Xingliang..." Chen Jingzhi clasped his hands behind his back and looked coldly at the late captain, and asked slowly, "Do you know...where is the wife of the prefect of Anling County now?" ?!”
The captain Cao Xingliang was shocked when he heard this, and then he gritted his teeth and strode out of the queue, kneeling in the center of the hall without saying a word.
He Ruoxiong, who was standing next to him, stared angrily, knocked Cao Xingliang to the ground with one punch, and roared, "You're just fucking talking. If you take the wife of the Anling County prefect to be imprisoned elsewhere, you're going to be damned." Bring it to the general quickly, you damn...!!"
Cao Xingliang didn't fight back or say anything. He just got up and knelt there without saying anything.
Chen Jingzhi shouted with a face as cold as frost, "Did you...touch her?!"
After hearing this, Cao Xingliang suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Chen
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Respectfully, "It's moving."
Chen Jingzhi's hands behind his back clenched for an instant and then slowly released.
He Ruoxiong was furious when he heard this. He pulled out a long knife from his waist and was about to chop Cao Xingliang on the spot, but was stopped by a group of officers.
"What are you doing!!" Chen Jingzhi shouted angrily.
It had been many years since the middle and senior officers had seen Chen Jingzhi lose his composure. They were all frightened and quickly stood back in the formation. They could not bear to look at He Ruoxiong, who was still out of breath, and Cao Xingliang, who was kneeling on the ground and said nothing.
Chen Jingzhi slightly raised his head and looked at the top of the hall, and suddenly sighed and said, "Cao Xingliang, you joined the army at the age of seventeen and entered the death camp. That was the death camp of the Taiming Army. After three bloody battles with Nanyi, In twelve years, how many times have I gone through life and death in exchange for a captain? I have sacrificed my life in exchange for a captain..." The hands behind his back clenched again, until they turned white, "Now The prefect has ambitions to conquer the world, which is why he has a spring of warriors that has not been available for nine hundred years. Now that he has expanded his territory and expanded his territory, you can have a wife and a wife right before your eyes... Your son is only thirteen years old, only thirteen years old. ..."
Cao Xingliang's eyes turned red when he heard this, but he just remained silent. After a long while, he finally sighed and said, "Cao Xingliang...has lost his head. General...just kill me..." ."
He Ruoxiong suddenly knelt down when he heard the words, "General, I am willing to exchange all my military achievements in this battle for Cao Xingliang's life. General..." He looked up and looked at Chen Jingzhi and whispered, "General, even if he is spared, Job..."
Chen Jingzhi said bitterly, "If this is possible, so what if I, Chen Jingzhi, exchange all my military exploits and my position as general? Do you think I, Chen Jingzhi, can't bear to part with me?" His voice trembled slightly, and he shook his head after calming down. , with a decisive voice, "Lijun's military regulations are equivalent to the edict of the prefect and cannot be violated! This is what General Lu told me when I, Chen Jingzhi, joined the army on my first day. As long as one person violates it and does not die, he will personally interrupt Lijun's 30th anniversary." The backbone of Wan Dajun, no one... can violate it!"
He slowly lowered his head and stared at He Ruoxiong with red eyes, "If you, He Ruoxiong, disobey, I will kill you, He Ruoxiong. If I, Chen Jingzhi, disobey, someone will kill me, Chen Jingzhi!!"
He Ruoxiong's lips trembled and he wanted to say something else, but Cao Xingliang held him down. He took a deep breath, kowtowed to He Ruoxiong three times, and kowtowed three times to Chen Jingzhi, then turned around and strode out of the hall. .
Just when he was about to step out of the hall, Chen Jingzhi raised his head again and said, "I, Chen Jingzhi, swear that I, Chen Jingzhi, will not lose even a single point of your military exploits...!!!"
Cao Xingliang, who was about to step out of the palace gate, smiled and said, "Xingliang naturally trusts the general," and then left.
Never came back.
Chen Jingzhi shed tears and whispered, "Get out, everyone, get out."
A group of officers pulled He Ruoxiong away from the hall in silence.
Qianxue, who had been watching all this silently, put down her books and walked out of the hall. But when she walked past Chen Jingzhi, she couldn't help but said, "Luochuan... I trust you..."
Chen Jingzhi cried and laughed.
"So I will never let him make such a choice for me..."
