Qin Xu brought several generals and captains to the stronghold.
He looked around as if he was sightseeing.
Most of the strongholds on the island are built under huge rocks, and nothing can be seen when looking down from the air.
However, only after entering the island and breaking the second-level formation can you get a glimpse of the full picture.
The interconnected corridors, halls, living areas, etc. are all well-presented.
"Sir, this way." Xia Cheng led the high-ranking officers of the anti-bandit army into the dungeon.
Normally, the people imprisoned there are hostages kidnapped by pirates.
Or some family monks who have committed heinous crimes are waiting for justice.
Today this place is crowded.
All the people here are cultivators from the Guo family.
Qin Xu saw the County Magistrate Guo, who was leaning against the wall with a pale face.
After listening to Xia Cheng's introduction, Qin Xu's urge to act came back.
He hurriedly took a few steps and helped County Magistrate Guo up.
"Oh, Magistrate Guo, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, a flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple."
"Humph, the anti-bandit troops from the Imperial City are so barbaric?"
He was in the right in this matter. As the county magistrate and the head of the Guo family, how could he not know whether there was any collusion with the pirates?
The barbaric soldiers framed them, and when the case was brought to the Holy Emperor of the Imperial City, he was right.
He also knew that these soldiers were just trying to extort some spirit stones.
If it was just a simple threat, he would have taken it.
But this time, the killers went too far. A county magistrate, the head of a county, had his meridians sealed in public, was tied up and escorted to the flying boat of the bandit-suppression army from the imperial city.
The impact is too bad.
I was really angry.
So he saw that the person coming was probably the commander-in-chief, and vented his dissatisfaction.
Of course, this is all they can do now, waiting for him to endure the humiliation and satisfy their appetite.
After releasing them, I must go to the Imperial City in person and report this bandit-suppression army to the Government Affairs Palace and to the Holy Emperor.
"Someone, come and untie our county magistrate."
"Mr. County Magistrate, this may be a misunderstanding. There is nothing we can do. After my men captured this stronghold, they seized the correspondence. We arrested people based on the correspondence."
"I didn't expect there would be a county governor."
Nangong Yu covered his face.
It's so embarrassing.
Putting aside the fact that he arrested the wrong person, the commander-in-chief actually apologized to a small county magistrate.
Lord Qin's mentality still hasn't changed.
It's still the same mentality as in the imperial city's officialdom, even less decisive and ruthless.
At this point, it should be both right and wrong, and we should treat this matter as an ironclad case.
He and Shen Yuchang looked at each other and nodded.
The two of them are colleagues in the Left Third Battalion of the Imperial Guards, so they have a tacit understanding.
They were planning to take action later to get rid of this county magistrate. Now that he’s been caught, can they let him go?
Only Xia Cheng was watching his master acting with a smile on his face.
He already had a set of clothes in his hands, which was what Qin Xu asked him to do before. Looking at the worries on the faces of Shen Yuchang, Nangong Yu and others, he felt a little amused.
The adults have already warned you, and we’ve seen their methods before. Why are you still worried about the adults now?
"Xia Cheng, Xia Cheng?"
"I am here, as ordered by my lord."
"Look at what you did. Look how embarrassed you made County Magistrate Guo. Bring some clothes."
"No need to trouble Commander Qin, just tell me what you want."
"It's not a bother, it's not a bother. We did something wrong. How can we complain about it? Come, I'll change it for you myself."
As he spoke, he took an ordinary piece of clothing from Xia Cheng's hand.
At first glance, it is the attire of a low-level monk.
County Magistrate Guo didn't know what to say, but he felt a little uneasy.
Humph, this commander is at the peak of the Golden Core stage. It seems that some people in the imperial city dislike him.
Otherwise it wouldn't be like this.
At the same time, I am also a little worried that he might kill people to silence them.
But judging from the expressions of his generals, that shouldn't be the case.
They might not be convinced by the commander-in-chief. Hey, he has been the county magistrate for many years and understands this kind of mentality very well.
After all, there are some traitors under his command.
He still had to coax the commander.
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief. I will definitely satisfy your request after I return."
"Okay, okay, come on and extend your hand."
"Alas, Master Qin treated me like this, I really can't bear a grudge. Master Qin, don't worry, let's just pretend that this matter never happened, what do you think?"
Qin Xu had already dressed County Magistrate Guo in the gray clothes of a low-level monk.
He folded his arms and rested his chin on one hand.
He ignored the pretentious performance of County Magistrate Guo.
"How about it?"
Qin Xu asked the high-ranking generals and captains of the bandit suppression army.
"What?" Nangong Yu was confused.
"Come and see if they look like pirates."
Qin Xu happily pushed County Magistrate Guo in front of several generals.
The one who reacted the fastest was Shen Yuchang.
With a flip of his hand, a magic sword appeared in his hand.
"Commander-in-chief, these are pirates."
After saying this, he saw the sudden enlightenment of generals like Nangong Yu, the astonishment of County Magistrate Guo, and the relieved smile of Qin Xu.
He chopped off the head of County Magistrate Guo with one sword.
Qin Xu cast a magic shield in time to avoid being splashed with blood.
He looked at Xia Cheng.
Xia Cheng nodded and shouted.
"The anti-bandit army won the first battle. The lieutenant commander of the first battalion, General Shen Yuchang, killed one of the enemy bandit leaders, which is the first merit!"
Except for Nangong Yu, the remaining three lieutenant generals were all red-eyed, and the deputy generals and captains were even more so.
First battle, first achievement, bandit leader.
Among military achievements, even just one of them is extremely good.
"It's all thanks to Commander Qin, you command well."
"Hahaha, it still depends on you. It's good and has a bright future."
Qin Xu used his hands to push the headless corpse on the ground twice. Xia Cheng saw it and naturally knew what his master was doing.
He hurried forward and took out a storage bag, a storage ring, and two letters from his arms.
Qin Xu looked at it and didn’t take it, so he waved his hand and motioned Shen Yuchang to come over.
"The ring storage bag is yours. It's your trophy. This letter is evidence of my crime. You can write the report of merit yourself and hand it over to me when the time comes."
Qin Xu stood up, took the brocade handkerchief that Xia Cheng handed over, and wiped the blood stains from where he had just removed the body of County Magistrate Guo.
“I have one thing to emphasize.”
"Commander-in-chief, please give me your orders."
"I will never allow anyone to kill innocent people and claim credit for their achievements, or to falsely report military achievements. If I find out, I will not let them off lightly."
"I will bear this in mind!"
"Divide the people you brought with you into three groups. I will have the guards take you to the other two places to 'suppress bandits' later."
"Okay, stop standing there, quickly change them into pirates' clothes and go 'suppress the bandits'."
"Yes, sir."
The captains and generals were all very well behaved.
I added a few more labels to this commander-in-chief in my mind.
Killing innocent people and claiming credit for it? Killing innocent people and claiming credit for it is nothing to you.
I hope they don't become bandits someday.
Nangong Yu was filled with admiration in his heart. This Qin Xu was more evil and cruel than any commander he had ever seen. He was worthy of being the one who could stir up trouble in the imperial city.
In the future of this dynasty, Qin Xu will definitely leave a significant mark.
He watched Qin Xu walk out and threw the blood-stained handkerchief casually, which landed on the head of County Magistrate Guo with his eyes wide open.
It fell gently, just covering the pair of eyes that were open in horror.
Facts show that the county magistrate is nothing in front of the leader of the army.
These lieutenant generals also dreamed that they would have this day, to take your head while chatting and laughing, and then leave in style.
