Chapter 136 Sneaking into the King’s Tent
Under the iron fist of the armored general, who killed no less than a hundred people who did not comply with discipline, the rebels were finally brought under control.
The army at the front continued to pursue Da Qi's defeated troops, and some of the people left behind guarded various key roads and resettled the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled.
Some other wounded soldiers were also gathered for treatment, the bodies were carried aside and placed, and personnel were organized to put out the fire.
In short, after half a day of busy work, order in the city became orderly.
Chen Zun stood on the tower for a long time, and after seeing the true military discipline of the Ping Qi Army, he became more expectant of the rebel leader named Ping Wang named Han.
Then, Chen Zun quietly came to the city, made some inquiries, and soon found out where King Ping was.
The place where King Ping lives is more than a hundred miles away from here.
Chen Zun traveled quickly along a road. In less than half a day, he had arrived at the real base camp of the Pingqi Army.
This is a vast and open land, where hundreds of thousands of troops have set up camp. The tents in the military camp stretch for more than ten miles, with no end in sight.
It was already dark at this time, smoke was curling up from the kitchens in the military camp, and there was a buzz of people.
Chen Zun disappeared and stepped into it.
The gates of the village were not tightly guarded by soldiers, and there were many dilapidated thatched huts. Some old and weak women and children dragged pots and pans and made fires to cook on the spot.
Going further inside, the military camp began to become more strict, with an order every three steps and a sentry every ten steps.
There were soldiers with swords and guns patrolling with torches. It was already night, and without a warrant, even three emergencies were dealt with in the tent and they could not go out.
Going further in, the security here is even tighter.
This is already the core area of the military village. There are sharp wooden fences and horses at the entrance of the small village. There are watchtowers on both sides and several arrow towers.
Riding horses is prohibited here, and everyone must dismount and be inspected before being released after careful interrogation.
Chen Zun sneaked in quietly and after walking for more than a thousand steps, he saw stars in military tents of various sizes surrounding a huge tent like a moon in the sky.
The tent was heavily guarded, and a tall, erected flag was fluttering in the wind. The white characters on the flag outlined a majestic flat character on a black background.
This is King Ping's royal tent.
Chen Zun looked into the air. Although the night was dim, it did not hinder him. However, with a sweep of his spiritual eyes, an aura of royal domineering enveloped the royal tent.
He was a little surprised that this man actually had a bit of a kingly air.
Without thinking much, an armored man passed through the soldiers, quickly walked to the tent door with his sword in hand, and called the guard on duty.
The guard turned around and entered the tent. Not long after, he came out again and put the armored man in.
Chen Zun had quietly followed the armored man a long time ago. When the tent door opened, he ducked and slipped in without anyone noticing his presence.
The strength of immortal cultivators cannot be matched by ordinary people.
After entering the tent, some candles were lit everywhere, which made it much brighter than outside.
Chen Zun quietly stood in the corner and found that there were some stools and chairs in the tent. Above, behind a long desk, stood a figure, looking at a map with his hands behind his back.
After the armored man came in, he knelt on one knee, raised his hands high, lowered his head and said loudly: "The last general, the King, please see King Ping."
The figure in front of the map turned around, and Chen Zun finally saw his face clearly.
This man is tall, with muscles that bulge out of his clothes, but his face is surprisingly young, with a comely face of a scholar, and he always carries a somewhat elegant and easy-going air.
This man is the rumored leader of the Ping Qi Army surnamed Han. However, to be able to achieve such a great undertaking at such a young age shows that this man is not as temperamental as he appears to be.
What surprised Chen Zun even more was that when he used the spiritual eye technique to examine it, black air billowed above the man's head, and a four-clawed black dragon was entrenched in it, which seemed to be transforming into a five-clawed golden dragon.
King Ping said to the armored man: "General Wang, please rise."
When General Wang got up, King Ping said again: "How is the rebellion under King Tieshan going?"
I heard General Wang say respectfully: "The last general has led the troops to suppress it, beheaded a few of the rebel generals, and the rest of the rebels are under guard."
"You did a good job with this."
Prince Ping nodded, praised, and then said: "However, Tieshan started out as a gangster and has a lot of innocent people's blood on its hands. You identify some evildoers who have committed crimes all the time and lock them up. In the future, the sentence will be beheading, and those common people brothers, if they have no serious offenses, will be released and organized into the army."
"The last general takes orders."
General Wang bowed and accepted the order.
Prince Ping waved his hand: "That's it, you go down first."
But General Wang did not leave.
Prince Ping looked over and asked, "Do you have anything else?"
General Wang pursed his lips and nodded.
"Then let's talk."
General Wang got the answer, thought about it, organized his words, and said: "The general is a little confused. King Tieshan was a gangster. Although he had a bad reputation, he was still a tycoon. King Ping was executed for disobeying the order. I’m afraid it wouldn’t be appropriate to kill him.”
"Oh, General Wang doesn't think I should execute Tieshan?"
"How dare you, general!"
General Wang lowered his head.
Prince Ping just looked at him for a while and then said: "Tell me your reasons."
"Then the general will speak boldly."
General Wang gritted his teeth.
"The Pingqi army is as strong as it is now. Thanks to King Ping's strategizing, his reputation is getting stronger and stronger, which makes the rebels from all over the country come to surrender. Although Tieshan is not a good person, he is also one of the many heroes who came to surrender. This time, he did not follow the orders and set off to plunder. If he is executed for this crime, it may arouse the suspicion of the other leaders who came to surrender, and will cause disunity within the Pingqi army. In the long run, it will not be conducive to the great cause of conquering Qi."
"Therefore, the general believes that to deal with a leader like Tieshan, minor punishments are sufficient for major mistakes, and he should not be put to death. After all, the road to defeating Qi requires unity of mind and unity, so there is no need to worry about failure to accomplish great things."
General Wang's voice was a bit loud. Prince Ping sat and listened to what he said without saying a word.
The lights were still on, but the silent atmosphere made General Wang feel uneasy.
Just when he thought Prince Ping was angry, he heard Prince Ping's calm voice.
"General Wang, I ask you, why did we first rebel?"
General Wang answered directly without thinking.
"The Qi Dynasty has no moral principles and the people are suffering. We should attack them instead."
"It's rare that General Wang still remembers this sentence."
But, what does this have to do with the present.
General Wang was confused and heard King Ping praise him again. He couldn't tell whether it was a compliment or a mockery, but he just buried his head lower.
Soon, Prince Ping's voice came again.
"We were ordinary people back then, and we all had a hard life. If we couldn't survive, who would want to embark on the path of rebellion?"
