Just as he was feeling quite pleased with himself, someone came down to report on the situation at Qingping Tower.

His pen trembled, the words became distorted, and he immediately flew into a rage.

"Who on earth is so audacious as to commit such a massacre in Chang'an? Does he have a death wish?"

Zhang Kai said, "Commander, those who died were all soldiers of the Xiang Army, who belonged to the Transport Commission. If you do not thoroughly investigate this matter, your position in the army will inevitably be affected in the future!"

"Hasn't Jingxian already gone to investigate?"

"Commander, now is the perfect time for you to personally arrive and win the hearts of the troops."

Li Yanjing put down her pen and said, "What you said makes sense."

Although he was a transport commissioner, only responsible for transporting grain and military equipment, all the local troops were standing armies and had military regulations.

If you can boost your popularity, of course you should do it yourself—it's a rare opportunity!

"Prepare the horses! I, the commander, will go and see for myself which blind fool dares to kill the Xiang Army in Chang'an. This is outrageous!"

Sun Bangyuan had only traveled halfway when someone came to report from ahead.

Sun Bangyuan was shocked. More than a hundred people had died, and Qingping Tower was now turning into a real battlefield.

Sun Bangyuan's hair stood on end.

The emperor is about to arrive, and this has just happened. Isn't this setting him up for disaster?

No, no! It must be suppressed! Everything must be suppressed!

P.S.: I'm so sorry about the past few days. Besides being busy myself, some things also happened at home. I only slept for four hours last night, and today I have a ton of things to do. I forced myself to wake up and wrote this. I remember I owe a chapter, and since I owe it, I have to make up for it. I'll update more tomorrow and the day after.
