Although the name Yijun Xiaowei sounds like an ordinary person, it is not a junior officer in the military system of later generations, but a real high-ranking general.

Within the imperial palace were six armies: the Commander, the Protector, the Left and Right Guards, the Elite Cavalry, and the Guerrilla Forces; further out, in the four directions of the capital, there were four armies: the Left, Right, Front, and Rear.

These troops were mainly responsible for the security of the imperial palace and the capital city.

Meanwhile, the outskirts of the capital were defended by six major military units: the Tunqi, the Bubing, the Yueqi (Yaoqi), the Changshui, the Shesheng, and the Yijun. These were the elite of the elite field armies of the empire's central command.

Each captain commands one-sixth of the power and possesses at least an eighth-rank cultivation level, which gives you an idea of ​​how high their official position is.

Zu An suddenly realized why. He must have offended the King of Qi recently, and since the elder was too proud to show his face, it was the younger one's turn to step in.

Judging from the current situation, this group is determined to destroy him. Slaughtering military horses and offending superiors could easily lead to a death sentence. Moreover, even if the higher-ups investigate, they will have grounds to respond.

They've done this so skillfully, it must be more than once.

Just then, an urgent voice suddenly came from the side: "Your Highness, my brother-in-law has just arrived in the capital and does not know many of the rules. He did not mean to offend you. I hope Your Highness will be lenient in this matter for the sake of the Qin and Chu families."

A handsome young man with rosy lips and white teeth, more beautiful than any woman, suddenly appeared; it was none other than Chu Youzhao.

Beside her was a beautiful young woman who exuded a wild charm, like a little female leopard. Her wheat-colored skin was quite striking. Who else could it be but Murong Qinghe?

Chu Youzhao and Murong Qinghe were out for a stroll when they saw something happening in the distance. Being the kind of people who love to gossip, they excitedly ran over to watch the drama unfold, only to find themselves caught in the crossfire.

Upon seeing Zuan, she hurriedly came out to try to defuse the conflict.

Putting aside the relationship between Zuan and his sister, she has to help him out since he has saved her time and time again.

“So it’s Young Master Chu and Miss Murong,” Prince Zhao Zhi of Qi nodded slightly to the two. The families behind these two were the backbone of Prince Qi’s party, so they couldn’t be treated lightly. “Judging from what Young Master Chu is saying, this must be the famous Chu family son-in-law Zu An. Back then, when Miss Chu took a street thug as her son-in-law, many young masters in the capital sighed with regret. I was thinking that with Miss Chu’s discerning eye, the husband she chose might have some special talents.”

"But after seeing her today, I have to admit that Miss Chu's taste in men is really terrible."

Chu Youzhao was secretly annoyed, but since she needed his help today, she could only suppress her anger: "My brother-in-law is new here. If he has offended the young master in any way, I apologize on his behalf."

Zuan said calmly, "You Zhao, you're back. There's no need for you to apologize on my behalf. He should be apologizing to me."
