Chapter 169: Join or Fight? That is the Question
The soldier looked at the document in Jiang Chen's hand and confirmed it.
"Commander Jiang, please wait here for a moment. I need to make an announcement."
Having said that, the sergeant returned the document to Jiang Chen.
Then, he asked his other subordinates to continue guarding the door.
He turned around quickly and ran into the camp.
Inside the central camp of the Northern Army’s five battalions.
The commanders of the five battalions were sitting there, discussing something.
As for the current Qingzi Camp commander, Lin Sangui, he was sitting there chatting and laughing.
He had no idea that his position was about to be replaced by someone else.
Just as the commanders of the five battalions were chatting excitedly, the sergeant guarding the camp walked in.
After kneeling on the ground, he saluted to the commander of the fifth battalion.
"Commander, there is a man outside the camp who claims to be the Marquis of Jiyuan."
"Jiyuan Hou, what is he doing here?!"
The five people frowned when they heard this.
"Why is he coming here all of a sudden instead of staying in his Lordship's mansion?"
"Forget it, stop talking so much."
"Let him come in and see first, then we'll know what he's going to do."
The five people were talking at the same time, and finally Lin Sangui stood up.
This finally quieted down the noisy central army tent.
"Okay, go and bring him in!"
"Yes, Commander."
Seeing that his commander had spoken, the sergeant hurriedly stood up.
He didn't dare to stop for a moment and quickly returned to Jiang Chen.
"My Lord, our commander has agreed to let you in, please!"
"Please lead the way."
Jiang Chen smiled and nodded at the director.
So he followed him into the camp.
I have to mention the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army.
As the regular army stationed in the imperial capital, compared to those county soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River.
It's like one is in heaven and the other is on earth.
This, from those standing on the parade grounds.
It can be seen from the bare-chested soldiers waving and slashing with long swords in their hands!
Also, look at the weapons in their hands.
It is obviously more metallic than the weapons of the county soldiers in Jiangnan.
This illustrates another problem.
The weapons and equipment of the five battalions of the Northern Army are all made of fine iron!
It is possible to equip such a large scale with weapons made of fine iron.
This made Jiang Chen start to have some expectations for the Qingzi Camp.
After following the sergeant to the outside of the central army tent, Jiang Chen strode in.
The five people sitting in the tent looked at Jiang Chen.
They all looked at him carefully.
"You are Jiyuan Hou Jiang Chen?!"
"That's right, I'm here this time."
"It was by order of the Emperor, and with the consent of the Regent."
"Come and take over the command of the 'Blue Character Battalion', one of the five battalions of the Northern Army!"
Having said that, Jiang Chen directly threw the imperial edict and the regent's handwriting over.
After hearing what he said, Lin Sangui's face suddenly turned dark.
A hint of coldness slowly flashed across his eyes!
The position of the leader of the Qingzi Camp was a very hard one for him.
It took me who knows how many years of hard work to get this!
But now that Jiang Chen has arrived, he is going to take his place.
As a general commanding 10,000 soldiers, Lin Sangui refused to accept!
"Marquis Jiyuan, this commander doesn't know."
"How on earth did you get the Emperor and the Prince to issue this order?"
"But I, the commander, tell you, the Qingzi Camp!"
"That was brought out by me, Lin Sangui!"
"You think you can take it away with just two pieces of paper?!"
"I, Lin Sangui, tell you, it's impossible!"
The angry Lin Sangui yelled loudly at Jiang Chen.
Facing Lin Sangui's scolding, Jiang Chen smiled slightly.
"Commander Lin Sangui, I'm sorry."
"This is what the emperor and the prince meant, if you have any objections."
"You can go to the prince and see what he says."
After saying that, Jiang Chen waved his hand.
The two Jinyiwei following behind him walked up and controlled Lin Sangui.
"Jiang Chen, what are you doing?!"
"How dare you attack this commander? You are plotting a rebellion!"
Seeing that Jiang Chen dared to attack him, Lin Sangui suddenly became anxious.
The commanders of the other four battalions of the Northern Army's fifth battalion saw this and hurriedly advised against it.
"Lord Jiyuan, wait a minute!"
"Yes, you should release Lin Sangui first!"
I heard the other four battalion commanders speaking for Lin Sangui.
Jiang Chen didn't say anything else, just shook his head.
"If I don't show my power, do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
"How dare you disobey the orders of the Emperor and the Prince."
"Then what's the point of me keeping you around?"
As he spoke, before the four could react, Jiang Chen, wearing a Qilin costume, flashed.
He pulled out a knife from the waist of an imperial guard and chopped Lin Sangui down.
"In your next life, don't go against me."
Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, its legs still twitching.
Jiang Chen returned the knife to the Jinyiwei with an expressionless face.
Then he turned around and looked at the commanders of the other four battalions.
"Why, does anyone still have objections to me taking charge of the Qingzi Camp?"
"No, no, Commander Jiang, please bear with me in the future!"
The four people who were frightened by Jiang Chen's cruel method dared not say anything.
Even if there is, they dare not say it out!
After all, there was already a living example of someone turning into a corpse.
They haven't lived enough and don't want to be reincarnated so early like Lin Sangui.
"Very good, then no one has any objection."
"I will go to the Qingzi Camp first. Could any commander show me the way?"
Seeing that no one stood up to object, Jiang Chen nodded.
He looked at the four commanders with great satisfaction and asked lightly.
After a long time, a younger commander finally stood up.
"Commander Jiang, I am the commander of the Blue Camp - Du Mingyu."
"I am willing to lead the way for you, Commander Jiang!"
Du Mingyu said this and bowed to Jiang Chen.
" Okay, thank you, Commander Du."
Seeing that Du Mingyu was willing to lead the way for him, Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Afterwards, Jiang Chen followed Du Mingyu out of the tent.
Walk towards the camp of Qingzi Camp.
After Jiang Chen and others left, the remaining three battalion commanders looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Hey, this new leader of the Qingzi Camp is no ordinary person!"
"That's right, after all this testing."
"Not only did he learn about our attitude towards him, but he also established his authority!"
"Okay, stop talking."
"Now Du Mingyu has made his choice."
"We also have to prepare and choose which side to stand on!"
To join or to confront, this question has existed since ancient times.
This is an eternal problem, and some people will make wrong choices.
This may lead to the destruction of families and even loss of lives .
But there are also people who make a lot of money and even gain status!
There is no difference between choosing and gambling, except that sometimes the cost is greater...
Jiang Chen followed Du Mingyu.
Soon they arrived at a camp belonging to the Qingzi Camp.
However, the scene before him immediately made Jiang Chen frown.
