At this very moment, the main gate of the General's Mansion creaked open.

A group of servants streamed out, standing on either side. Behind them stood Su Pingbei, accompanied by a group of guards from his household.

After that, Su Zhen Ting and others came out, guarding on both sides of Su Ping Bei, clearing a space in the middle. Li Chen strode forward, bringing Su Jin Pa with him, standing just outside the General's Mansion, watching the approaching thousand soldiers.

To be honest, the appearance of these soldiers from the Southern Camp of the Imperial Guard is indeed much better than those from the Northern Camp.

They may not be the most valiant warriors, but at least they still possess the spirit and discipline of a soldier. They follow orders without hesitation and remain calm under pressure.

These thousand people marched together, not the slightest bit disorderly. They were perfectly aligned, like a single entity.

From this alone, one can see that the general leading the troops of Nanyang Camp is a talented individual.

Li Chen stood at attention, and the thousand soldiers behind him also came to a halt. Leading them were several generals.

Among them, a burly man with a fierce face and menacing eyes strode out.

Judging from his attire, this man is likely a commanding officer with the rank of Tongzhi (a military official), holding the rank of a third-rank military officer, only subordinate to the Zheng (regular) and Zuo (deputy) Commanders.

That burly man rode his horse to Li Chen's presence, the two sides only a few dozen feet apart. Converting that into modern meters, it would be between fifteen and twenty meters.

At this distance, a well-trained cavalryman need only give his steed a command and in the blink of an eye, they could break through. It is therefore a distance that is extremely dangerous and sensitive.

Su Pingbei stepped forward first and shouted to the big man, "Wei Dangxian, seeing His Highness not only fails to kneel down but also remains on horseback, what crime should he be charged with!"

Wei first glanced at Su Pingbei, and sneered: "You are the newly appointed commander of Beidaying, Su Pingbei, aren't you Seeing you as the descendant of a God of War, I thought you should be mighty and impressive, but looking at you, your skin is fair and tender like a woman. You even have the nerve to call yourself a soldier, it's so boring."

Behind him, a group of Southern Army generals burst into laughter.

Su Pingbei was so angry his face flushed red, his teeth gritted as he clutched the saber in his hand. He said coldly, "If we're talking about military rank, this general and you are both commanders of the Imperial Guard, and my rank is higher than yours. How dare you speak to me with such disrespect!"

"I've brought my troops here today, so what could possibly go wrong"

Wei, with a sneer first, suddenly dismounted his horse and performed a respectful bow to Su Zhenting. He said in a clear voice, "In the army, after the God of War, only General Su is recognized by me, Wei Dangxian, I have met General Su!"

Having said that, Wei turned his head and shouted, "My lads, don't you hurry up and pay General Su a visit"

Here you go!

"I await, having seen General Su!"

One thousand people shouting at the same time, their voices like thunder, was a spectacular sight.

And Su Zhen Ting's face turned green.

This move is truly heart-wrenching.

The prince was standing right beside him. They had never met the prince before, yet he alone bowed to them. Even if this matter passed peacefully, how would the prince feel about it

Su Zhen'ting glanced at Li Chen, but the latter wore an expression of calm indifference.

"After you pay homage to the God of War, when you see General Su, you bow. Then what about me" Li Chen said lightly.

"Wei looked at Li Chen first, sneered and said, 'The God of War is the pillar of the empire, the soul of the army, not comparable to some royal parasites.'"

"Where is the treacherous scoundrel!"

Li Chen suddenly raised his voice, roared, and even scared Wei in the front.

With eyes blazing, Li Chen roared, "I ask you, where is the traitor!"and be”Li Chen said expressionlessly: "The imperial decree that the emperor bestowed upon me with the power to govern in his stead clearly states that promotions, titles, rewards and punishments are a...
