When Li Chang'an was preparing to deal with the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Chen Da led the reinforcements from Tai'an City, rushing all the way, and had just entered the territory of Zhejiang.

The local people, seeing the army passing by from afar, all hid in the mountains, fearing they would be conscripted.

As dusk approached, the soldiers were exhausted from their long journey.

Therefore, Chen Da decided to enter the city to rest for one night.

Upon receiving the news, Huang He, the governor of Zhejiang, was somewhat surprised, as it was rare for a large army to request entry into the city before setting out.

Now, the troops from Tai'an City are saying they want to enter the city, which makes him somewhat suspicious.

However, he immediately rushed to the city gates to wait.

It wasn't until dark that Chen Da and his group finally arrived.

"Huang He, Governor of Zhejiang, greets General Chen!"

Huang He lowered his head, not daring to meet Chen Da's gaze.

As a provincial governor, he naturally knew the true worth of the man before him.

Executive Officer Chen Da is one of the four henchmen under the Regent.

With immense power and influence, his methods of execution have caused countless corrupt officials to suffer a fate worse than death.

He had thousands of students under his command, and each of them was a master of execution.

Therefore, although Huang He was the governor of a province, he did not dare to underestimate Chen Da in the slightest.

Moreover, because of his support for Fujian, Chen Da was promoted by Emperor Jianyuan and appointed as Jianwei General, a first-rank official.

That's a much higher official rank than his, a second-rank governor.

"Lord Chen, your arrival is so sudden. I haven't prepared anything. I can only offer a few tables of food and drink at Wan Hua Lou. I hope you gentlemen will do me the honor of joining me."

Huang He smiled broadly, his eyes surveying the large army before him.

He was increasingly astonished as he looked at it.

The Confucian scholars Zhuge Liang and Feng Yu, Qiao Feng, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, and Wang Zhongxian, the Nine Thousand Years Old of the Eastern Depot.

Several unknown experts also mingled with the army.

You could vaguely sense the murderous aura emanating from them.

Chen Da sat on his horse, looked at the man in front of him, and spoke.

"No need for a banquet. We're just going into the city to rest for a bit. We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning."

"Please, Lord Huang, open the city gates and let us in."

Huang He hesitated for a moment, wanting to continue the invitation.

"My lord, this feast is our way of thanking you all for your bravery on the battlefield. Please..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Da interrupted him, his tone somewhat cold.

"I don't like to repeat myself, Lord Huang!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"I have spoken out of turn."

Huang He immediately ordered the city guards to open the city gates and let these people into the city.

Chen Da then turned his horse around and addressed all the soldiers.

"Brothers, remember the rules for entering the city!"

"Do not enter private residences, shops, brothels, casinos, or similar places."

"Do not disturb the people, do not wander around, and do not make loud noises."

"Those who disobey orders will be discharged from the military and sent to the inspection team for trial."

"Finally, and most importantly, no one is allowed to take even a needle or thread from the people, and no one is allowed to oppress them. Anyone who disobeys this order will be executed immediately!"

Did you hear that?

"Here you go!"

Hearing his subordinate's reply, Chen breathed a sigh of relief and ordered his men to enter the city.

Two hundred thousand people entered the city in droves, each deliberately keeping their footsteps quiet.

After entering the city, no one spoke; the journey was quiet.

The two political commissars, Zhuge Liang and Feng Chu, led the inspection team and kept patrolling around the army to see if anyone was wandering around.

Wang Zhongxian also brought his men from the Eastern Depot to supervise Pan Feng and Xing Daorong's subordinates.

With nowhere to set up camp, Chen Da found a ten-mile-long street and had everyone sleep in rows at both ends of the street.

His men were responsible for guarding and patrolling.

This trip into the city is entirely to test the results of our usual training.

See if the soldiers can fully obey and remember the three main rules of discipline and the eight points of attention in the military.

After everything was arranged, he took out a cold steamed bun from his pocket and started eating it.

Behind him, Xiong Er and Zhang San, who had nothing to do, also started eating steamed buns.

Chen Da looked at them, his expression somewhat helpless.

Although those two fools were dismissed from their posts, they started living a carefree life.

No one dared to assign him any tasks, because everyone knew that their dismissals were only temporary.

The prince was a sentimental person, and every time Xiong Er was dismissed from his post, he would find an excuse to promote him.

The most outrageous excuse was that he entered the Prince's Palace with his left foot and was reinstated to his original position.

Thinking of this, Chen sighed, "Can't you two act like leaders? You're always freeloading here, aren't you ashamed?"

Xiong Er, eating a steamed bun, waved his hand dismissively: "We've been dismissed from our posts and are no longer commanders."

Seeing their expressions, Chen Da shook his head helplessly and asked, "Xiong Er, this is the first time I've led so many men into battle, and I feel a little nervous."

"Do you think it will be dangerous for us to go to war this time?"

Upon hearing this, Xiong Er nearly choked on his steamed bun: "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"We're going to war with the prince, and he's even letting us encounter danger."

"Throughout Lingnan, everyone knows that following the prince in battle is like crawling on the ground picking up military merits. No matter what the enemy is, you can just kill them indiscriminately."

"We'll take care of the 'ga ga' (a type of animal), while the prince charges in and slaughters everyone."

"The only thing to watch out for is to run fast, otherwise the prince will be too bloodthirsty and you won't be able to get any kills."

"Last time at Jiayang Pass, more than 90,000 Liao soldiers didn't manage to kill a single person. They only saw a few lucky Liao people surrendering in a panic. And you still ask if there was any danger?"

"Following the prince in his military campaigns, you'll never encounter danger in your life."

Hearing Xiong Er's confident assurances, Chen Da felt relieved.

Zhang San shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, there's a possibility of encountering danger."

"I heard from other colleagues that the last time they went to Jiayang Pass to rescue people, they encountered danger."

"If they hadn't run fast, they probably would have been wiped out."

Upon hearing this, Chen Da and Xiong Er asked in surprise, "Is that so? Didn't they say they didn't go up to fight the enemy at all?"

"They didn't go up to fight the enemy. They said the greatest danger was that the prince would go berserk."

"When the prince starts to act, he doesn't know his own strength at all. At the drop of a hat, the sky will collapse and the earth will crack, and mountains will be overturned."

"So they told me to be careful, because when there is danger, the prince is the safest guarantee."

"But when there is no danger, the prince is the greatest danger."
