The exile team once again set out on the road northward.

In the training ground behind the Yongping Army camp in the west of the city, the generals knew that their camp had been looted.

Although the commander of Linyang County had sent a message saying that there was a riot in the city and requested support from the Yongping Army.

The Yongping Army only thought it was a small-scale military-civilian dispute. Even the commander was not alarmed. He assigned a team of people to assist the county commander and did not pay any more attention to the matter.

At this time, Zhou Dingbang, the commander of the Yongping Army, was standing on the inspection platform, leisurely drinking the wine in his wine bag while watching the tactical drills of the soldiers on the field.

"You're wrong! This is the herbal medicine that Qi Xian provided to us! The soldiers have been drinking it for a month, and they are full of energy!"

Then I saw that several teams were making rapid progress in deploying their troops. They even won several battles in combat drills, and I was very satisfied.

"Hahaha! This is the level that the Yongping Army should have! This time when I take them out, they will embarrass me!"

As the right-hand man of Prince Yongping, Zhou Dingbang knew very well that Prince Yongping and Prime Minister He had arranged many major operations in Liuyun County, just waiting for the people of the Sheng family to take the bait.

Even so, Prince Yongping still wants to release him. Last night, he personally went to Liuyun County and ordered him to bring another thousand soldiers and horses to follow him.

Zhou Dingbang was very convinced. Sheng Jinghai was very prestigious in the northern border, but he had no troops available in the heart of Southern Qi. Previously, Sheng San had easily emptied the palace, but it was just a surprise to the royal family.

It's fine that the prime minister and the prince have gone to so much trouble to deal with just a few people in our family. But they even asked us to mobilize so many troops! It's simply a joke!

Although he thought so in his heart, he dared to disobey his master's order.

Thinking of thousands of people against a few people, such a simple task was completed in a flash, and even some tricks were played to show the power of the Yongping Army in front of the prince.

Early in the morning, Tianwu gathered tens of thousands of Yongping soldiers to rehearse their battle formations on the parade ground.

At this time, the sun was setting and all the soldiers were exhausted. Zhou Dingbang waved his hand and asked everyone to return to the camp to rest.

The Yongping Army is a vassal king's guard army, so the training intensity is not as high as that of the border army. The training intensity of the day is higher than that of the previous few days.

The soldiers were sweating from exhaustion, their legs were weak, and they had to use up a little extra strength.

They were all ecstatic when they heard that they could finally return to the camp to rest. Although they still maintained the team's order, they quickened their pace.

I'm just waiting to go back and have a hot meal and then have a good rest.

Many soldiers who were so hungry that they were exhausted even saw the image of a bowl of delicious meat soup and grilled cakes before their eyes.

As a result, as soon as everyone ran back to the camp, they saw the guards lying on the ground in all directions.

The Yongping Army Camp, which originally covered several acres of land, is now just a piece of land with pits and depressions!

Except for the smelly socks and shoes piled everywhere, you can find everything!

Even the huge wooden fence at the entrance of the camp, the sentries, the wooden frames for holding the tents, and thousands of tents, all flew away!!!

Not to mention valuable items such as various weapons, armor, and food!

"hiss--"

Tens of thousands of soldiers took a deep breath. It took them a long time to react to what had happened. They simply couldn't believe what they saw.

"General Liu, have we come to the wrong place?!"

"Yeah! How could such a big camp become an empty space in an instant? Even if it was robbed, there would be something left. But it's so clean!"

"Yes, the rocks and terrain around here are still the same! Damn it, this is clearly our camp!"

“…”

The soldiers walking in front all had expressions of fear on their faces.

They stood in front, blocking the way for the people behind. The captain of the guard beside Commander Zhou swung a whip and lashed at the people in front.

"What are you all standing here for?! Can't you see the general is coming?!"

"hiss--"

The soldiers in front felt pain and all stepped aside. Now it was Zhou Dingbang and the generals beside him who gasped.

"Commander! We'll see you at your camp!"

"what?!"

Zhou Dingbang simply dared to believe everything he saw.

I walked quickly to my tent and saw a dozen familiar smelly socks and pants thrown everywhere!

And... there was also a piece of evasion map with a worn-out edge that was scattered all over the floor!

Zhou Dingbang's face flushed. He pretended nothing had happened and put all the small paintings on the ground into his sleeves. He then carefully looked around.

Sure enough, except for the things just mentioned, all other items were missing!

I saw the armor and sword that I bought! I saw the rosewood footbath that I bought but didn’t have time to use!

Even the antiques and calligraphy and paintings that I had spent most of my life savings on to present to Prince Yongping were all gone!!!

Good, good! The Sheng family just passed through Linyang County, and their savings of most of their lives flew away!

This Sheng San is really a man of great power. He can be easily dealt with by one or two armies!

No wonder the prince specifically instructed us to temporarily avoid the sharp attacks of the Sheng family's eldest branch and wait until we reach Liuyun County to deal with us!

Zhou Dingbang looked at the mess on the ground and was so angry that he was shaking all over. He gritted his teeth and ordered:

"They practiced all day, and all they took out were blunt swords and knives that had never been sharpened. The remaining bows and crossbows were all looted."

"Hurry up and ask someone to find Anzhuang Manager Liu and ask him to lend us the new batch of weapons that Anzhuang has received. We will return them to us when the new weapons allocated by the court come down."

"Report... Report to the commander. The county lieutenant just sent another message saying that two bloody bodies were found on Dongcheng Street. It seems that they are Manager Liu and Elder Yao."

"Bang--"

Zhou Dingbang punched the earthen wall of the camp angrily.

"Then go find the Dark Lord! Let him quickly borrow bows and arrows and swords and spears! Borrow as many as you can! He must immediately recruit soldiers and avenge the past shame!"

놛 was so angry that his eyes turned red, and these words almost jumped out from between his teeth. But then he heard another secret guard report.

"Commander Zhou, it's over! There's chaos in the city. Someone has scattered many letters and certificates from the Prime Minister and the Prince everywhere!"

"The owner of Dark Manor has been beheaded. Dark Manor, the mine, and the prince's mansions in Linyang County have all been emptied! Even the Youzhu Yayuan, which was used to entertain distinguished guests, has been emptied!"

"And...someone found the long-dead Second Emperor Beichen in Anzhuang."

"The Second Emperor's chief of guards is currently leading a team of soldiers to guard the Dark Village and ask them to give an explanation. The Dark Village is leaderless and has become a mess!!"
