Chapter 102 Revocation of Jincheng Escort

During this period, the corps officers (including Yin Bin, Wang Xuan and others) who were poisoned in Tiejian Villa came to visit and expressed their gratitude. At first, he came forward to receive the reception and exchanged a few greetings. Later, he felt very annoyed and delayed his practice too much. He simply told the concierge: "Unless it is an important visit, he will not be welcomed, just say that he is in seclusion and practicing martial arts."

But when the people from the Martial Arts Division came to the door, Xue Chang still had to come forward to receive him.

Xue Chang didn't know the leader of the military commander, but he was a man under 30 years old. He was tall and stern, with a rebellious expression and a cold tone: "Are you Xue Chang, the young escort leader of Jincheng Escort Bureau?"

"It's right here." Xue Chang bowed and said, "What do you call this inspector?"

"A peak in Meishanzhaijiang." The man said coldly.

Originally, Xue Chang was very polite to receive visitors from the Military Inspection Service, but when he saw the other party put on his face, even the most cultivated person would feel unhappy at this moment. What's more, Xue Chang was young and energetic, so he immediately put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "I wonder what happened to the inspector Jiang's visit this time?"

Jiang Yifeng did not answer, waved behind him, and then sat down on the wooden chair next to him.

An officer of the Military Inspection Office stepped forward, but his tone was much more relaxed: "Xue Shao's escort head, the hot spring post blood case caused the casualties of the Jincheng Escort Bureau to be killed and injured, and it was completely impossible to carry out the mission of escort or guarding the bodyguard. According to the regulations of the Military Inspection Office, the qualifications of the Jincheng Escort Bureau should have been eliminated, but Lord Jiang Shijia was generous and wanted to track down the murderer first and give an explanation to the dead bodyguards, so this order was suspended for several months. Later, Mr. Xue, you are lucky to escape from the trouble. When you return to Chengdu, Lord Jiang magnanimously postponed for several months again-"

Jiang Yifeng interrupted the official impatiently: "I'll just say it. It's been more than eight months since the Hot Spring Post blood case. The Jincheng Escort Bureau has not recruited an e-mail, nor has it sent another e-mail. After discussion, the Military Inspection Department decided to cancel the Jincheng Escort Bureau. I am here to be responsible for the execution!"

Hearing this, Xue Chang didn't feel anything, but Xue Fu, who was serving him, hurriedly begged: "Several sirs, can you give us some more time?! We will recruit escorts tomorrow. In a few days, no, at most one month, the Jincheng escort agency will be--"

"Bo Xue." Xue Chang stopped the old housekeeper and continued: "Jincheng Escort Bureau let them withdraw. Anyway, I don't plan to engage in the Escort Bureau again in the future."

"Then we will—" Xue Fu originally wanted to say: Without the escort agency, what will we do in the future?

But he immediately thought of the popular spicy hot pot food stall outside the yard, and his voice stopped abruptly. He just remembered that the escort agency he had assisted the master for decades was gone, and he felt indescribable discomfort.

"We are here, not only to inform you of the cancellation of the 'escort agency', but also to count and reclaim some military supplies that the Jincheng Escort Agency has purchased from the Military Affairs Office over the years." This was what Jiang Yifeng said to Xue Chang, but he did not look at Xue Chang at all, but nodded to the official.

The minor official immediately said: "According to the file of the Inspection and Martial Arts Department, the Jincheng Escort Bureau has purchased it through the Inspection and Martial Arts Department over the years..."

Xue Chang listened carefully and found that the things that the Jincheng Escort Bureau bought from the Xunwu Department were mainly weapons, leather armor and pack horses.

The original owner had never understood these things, so Xue Chang would naturally be confused: Just look for blacksmiths or buy them in the market, why do you have to go to the Xunwusi to buy them?

However, he did not understand that most of the blacksmiths with superb skills in the Dazhou were concentrated in the craftsmanship offices and weapons prisons of the court. A few of the blacksmiths in the folk could make one or two weapons in private. Such a large number of them were generally afraid of being reported and went to jail. Of course, most of the major sects had their own blacksmiths, which were approved by the imperial court.

Therefore, the weapons produced by the imperial court are of high quality and good quality, low price (because they are mass-produced and the raw materials are easy to obtain). In addition, under normal circumstances, the military service department will take care of these escort agencies under their jurisdiction, so the escort agencies can often obtain cheap and affordable military supplies to enrich their strength. However, once the escort agency is disqualified, these military supplies will naturally be taken back.

After hearing it carefully, Xue Fu couldn't help but want to speak again. The little official said immediately: "When we were cleaning up the scene of the hot spring bloody case, we had already recovered 8 long swords, 23 knives, 27 long spears, 15 bows... and there was still some lack. I don't know if it was placed in the mansion. I will take them back together today."

"All of them are stored in the warehouse, so you can check it out." Xue Fu said quickly.

"Why are you still staying here? Take us to have a look." Jiang Yifeng said impatiently.

Xue Fu led several officials from the Martial Arts Division to the arsenal next to the internal power room in the front yard to inspect.

Jiang Yifeng did not go in, stood in the corridor, looked at the martial arts training ground in front of him, and said, "Your martial arts training ground has been very well cultivated, but it's a pity that it's a bit wasteful."

"Who knows? Maybe I will think it will be smaller in the future." Xue Chang replied.

"I heard you have taken in a lot of apprentices?" Jiang Yifeng looked at him and asked with a serious expression.

"There are no more, only three." Xue Chang replied.

"It's more than three, some people have reported that the sounds coming from your martial arts training ground every morning and evening are very lively." Jiang Yifeng said with a sneer.

Xue Chang was prepared for this, and he said calmly: "My apprentice did only accept three, but I also taught the newly recruited servants some simple punches. After all, my family is few now, but the mansion is too big. If a thief comes to visit, at least I can help me withstand it for a while."

Jiang Yifeng looked at him sharply for a while before he said coldly: "You should be clear about the regulations of the Military Inspection Department. If you find out in the future that the matter is not what you said, you will not be able to escape punishment."

"I understand." Xue Chang replied calmly.

At this time, the official came out of the arsenal and Jiang Yifeng asked, "Are all the things there?"

"There should be a few more items over there." The official pointed at the big weapon stand beside the martial arts training ground.

Jiang Yifeng waved his hand: "Check it out quickly and take it away."

"Wait a minute." Xue Chang could no longer remain calm: "Can you leave us a few items?"

"Young Master Xue, this is a rule, and we can't do anything about it." The official politely declined.

"Young Master Xue... Oh, I can't call you now." Jiang Yifeng said sarcastically: "Xue...Young Master, if you want to obtain these military weapons again, you either rebuild an escort agency or create a sect."

Xue Chang lowered his face and stopped talking.

Fortunately, more than half of the weapons on the martial arts training are made by the original owner's father. Perhaps because the usual training does not require the loss of military weapons, the weapons of good quality were all taken away by the followers brought by Jiang Yifeng, including the thick-backed sword that Xue Chang likes to use the most.

Seeing the people from the Martial Arts Division move these weapons and leather armor to the carriage outside the courtyard gate, Xue Chang couldn't help asking again: "Will you move these away, shouldn't you return the money to us?"

Jiang Yifeng sneered: "The Military Inspection Office sold you the excellent weapons of the weapon surveillance at such a low price. It is already taking care of the Jincheng Escort Bureau. I still want money. Have you made any mistakes?"

Xue Chang was so angry that she wanted to refute that Xue Fu whispered in his ear: "Young Master, every time I went to the Martial Arts Division to purchase weapons with the Master, I did sign an agreement that 'Once the escort agency is disbanded in the future, all military supplies must be returned free of charge'. In fact, no escort agency has been dissolved for so many years, only our Jincheng escort agency is unlucky... Alas..."

Xue Chang took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and then comforted Xue Fu: "It's okay, just take it away. Anyway, I won't use it for a while, so it's a waste to put it here."

"I am young and have a bad temper." Jiang Yifeng looked at Xue Chang disdainfully and pointed to the top of his head: "Will we pick this plaque? Or do you pick it yourself?"

Xue Chang said in a deep voice: "Let's do it ourselves."

"Young Master, the plaque of 'Xue Mansion' was placed in the backyard master's bedroom. Two months ago, I specially took it to Hanshu Pavilion to re-polish and paint it. I will bring it now." Xue Fu said. Since the accident, he had expected that this day would be the day to sort out military supplies and find the old plaque... He had already prepared it.

It is really easy to have such a capable butler. Xue Chang sighed a little and said, "Send a servant to get it."

But Xue Fu was worried, so he called a guy from the food stall next to him and hurriedly took him to the backyard.

"Can we be faster? We are still in a hurry!" Jiang Yifeng said impatiently.

Xue Chang didn't say anything, and looked up at the plaque on the lintel: The Xue family is indeed a wealthy family. Not only is the mansion built large, but the vermilion gate is also very grand. The lintel is three meters away from the ground. The plaque of the "Jincheng Escort Bureau" is about two meters long and the wood is thick. It will take some effort to remove it steadily.

However, Xue Chang said: "What are you urging me to? Take it now."

As he said that, Xue Chang was not bent, his feet did not bend, but just kicked his right foot, and his whole body jumped straight up. He raised his hands above his head, grabbed the bottom of the plaque, and vigorously vented his true energy and poured into his hands. With a loud shout, the plaque embedded on the stone wall was actually pulled out by him.

When Xue Chang held a two-meter-long plaque and slowly fell down, Jiang Yifeng changed his face: It was easy to jump up and hold the plaque and fall down, but it was not easy to pull out the plaque in the air, because he could not use force in the air, and he relied on his own internal strength. Moreover, he observed that the young master of Xue's family was not blocked at all while pulling out the plaque, and he could maintain the same speed. This shows that his internal strength is not weak, and his internal strength is also more comfortable to use...Didn't they all say that Xue Chang is just a playboy?"

The diners next to them cheered in unison, Xue Chang nodded with a smile, turned his head, and immediately became serious: "The plaque has been removed and will not be hung again in the future. You can leave."

Jiang Yifeng's face changed a few times, and finally said in a deep voice: "Xue Chang, you are from our Bashu martial arts world. It is best to avoid contact with the people from the Iron Blood Changhemen in the future. After that, he turned over and left with the horse.

Only then did Xue Chang understand the reason why Jiang Yifeng, whom he had never met, always had a stern face: I want to interact with someone’s iron-blooded Changhemen, but they look down on us!

Xue Chang remembered the invitation he sent at Tiejian Villa, but had not seen any response yet. She couldn't help but smile bitterly, feeling a little wronged.

At the same time, he also secretly alerted: It seems that after the apprentices have finished class, they have to remind them again that when there are outsiders, they must not call themselves masters.

……………………………………………………………………

In the Qinzheng Hall of Luoyang Palace, Emperor Taixiang leaned on his couch to drink tea. The old eunuch Cao Zhong and a little eunuch served beside him.

Xu Zhaoyan, the commander of the General Commander of the General Commander, was summoned a day later, and was uneasy. He could not forget the scolding of the emperor after summoning him yesterday. Although his face improved a lot when he saw him today, he had not spoken to him until now, which puts greater pressure on him.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao has arrived!" The eunuch's sharp shout came from outside.

"Hurry up and announce him to come in!" Emperor Taixiang said as soon as he realized something was wrong, he immediately changed his words: "No need to announce it, I will pick him up." After that, he quickly put down the teacup, held it up, and strode out of the store.

Mr. Zhao!…Xu Zhaoyan was shocked: Is this Mr. Zhao?!

He looked out of the hall and saw an old and thin figure sticking a crutch and following Emperor Taixiang into the hall.

Seeing the white mask on this man's face, Xu Zhaoyan was shocked again: Yes, he is the Mr. Zhao! It is reported that he had assisted the late emperor in establishing the Long Guard and the Military Command. Whenever there were problems in the martial arts world, the late emperor often discussed with him, but strangely, he wore a mask from beginning to end. No one had seen what he looked like, and no one knew his name. The title "Mr. Zhao" was still heard from the mouth of the late emperor. Although he had no official position, he could enter and exit the palace without restrictions as a commoner, and the Long Guard and the Military Command were extremely respectful to him. But two years ago, the current emperor ascended the throne, he heard that he never appeared in front of others again. After he became the commander, he had never seen him. Some people speculated that he might have died of old age. He did not expect to meet here today...

Thinking of this, Xu Zhaoyan turned around and bowed to Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Zhao nodded and greeted.

"This is Xu Zhaoyan, the current general commander of the General Commander of the Military Affairs Office." Emperor Taixiang introduced.

"I know, a very talented young man, he manages the Battle of the War Department very well."

Mr. Zhao's voice was hoarse and weak, but Xu Zhaoyan didn't find it unpleasant, but was a little excited.

Cao Zhong, the old eunuch who usually stood still like a wooden sculpture and clay sculpture, took a step forward and saluted Mr. Zhao slightly.

"Xiao Cao, you haven't changed as before. It seems that your internal strength has improved." Mr. Zhao nodded and said, "It's great. With you here, the palace is as stable as iron stone."
