Chapter 371 Rebellion
On the other side, inside the Nan Kingdom’s army camp.
A large group of Lion Power soldiers, armed with swords and spears, surrounded Nan Lijun's princess tent, shouting loudly, "Give me back Xuanwei!"
Duan Jie and a group of Northern Expedition Army soldiers guarded around the tent, trying to comfort these guys who were so angry that they had lost their minds.
Duan Jie said to Rong Yi who was at the front:
"Brother, I know you're feeling wronged. Let's put down the knife and talk it over!"
Rong Yi spat on the ground and pointed the knife at Duan Jie:
"Don't fucking call me 'brother'. If you are a 'brother', remember how our boss fought so hard to rescue you from the royal court! Get out of the way! I want to see the princess!"
Luo Dongdong next to him shouted: "That's right!"
The surrounding Lion Army soldiers were furious:
"We want to see the princess! Give us back the boss!"
"The general was sent to marry a foreign princess! He's completely disgraced! What the hell is this talk of 'brotherhood'?!"
The soldiers of the Lion Army pushed forward noisily, not giving Duan Jie a chance to say a word.
The Northern Expedition Army soldiers tried their best to stop them and tried to persuade them with kind words at first, but as the voices grew louder and louder, the emotions of both sides became more and more agitated and there was a possibility that a fight would break out at any time.
Duan Jie was very anxious. He grabbed the sword at his waist and shouted at Rong Yi:
"Brother Rong Yi! You are rebelling! Have you considered the consequences? According to military law! I can punish you right now!"
Rong Yi laughed in anger: "If I had known this would happen, I should have let you rot in the royal court as prisoners! You would never have harmed our boss this day!"
Luo Dongdong echoed: "That's right!"
Rong Yi became more and more angry as he spoke, and continued:
"According to military law? I've already resigned! I'm not a soldier now, what can you do to me?! Kill us all if you dare! Screw you 'brothers'!"
As he spoke, Rong Yi slashed Duan Jie's head with the back of his knife, causing Duan Jie to bleed profusely and stagger back several steps.
The Northern Expedition Army soldiers became anxious when their general was beaten, and were about to take action with roars.
Seeing that the two sides were about to fight and would lead to the terrible consequences of fratricide, Duan Jie roared like thunder:
"Stop it, everyone!!!"
Everyone was shocked by this powerful voice.
Duan Jie covered his bleeding head and swayed twice before he could stand firm.
He stepped forward and pressed Rong Yi's shoulders, trying to suppress his anger, and advised earnestly in a calm voice:
"Brother, I know you're not afraid of death. The Lion Army and the Northern Expedition Army are all brave men who don't fear death! But your making a fuss is useless! What if you meet the princess? What if the princess takes back her order? Yun Chen is still trapped in the royal court! You're going in the wrong direction!"
Rong Yi was stunned, then he understood Duan Jie's meaning, and immediately he and Luo Dongdong called out to all the Lion Army:
"Brothers! Line up and assemble! Let's rescue the boss!"
"good!!"
Under Rong Yi's command, the Lion Army left the princess's tent and immediately assembled.
When they were about to leave the camp, Nan Lijun, who had been turning a deaf ear to everything outside the tent, asked Duan Jie to convey her latest orders to the Lion Army.
Duan Jie, with his head wrapped like a dumpling, looked at the Lion Army with a troubled expression and spoke with difficulty:
"The princess has ordered that every sword and spear of the Lion Might Army is paid for. Since you have left the camp to seek battle, you may not use the court's support and may not take any military supplies with you."
What a good way to cut off the firewood from under the cauldron!
What a despicable trick!
How can we fight without weapons? What can we do even if we stand at the gate of the Royal Court?
Rong Yi sneered, threw down his sword, took off his armor, and only held the dagger he had carried with him since childhood, and patted the horse under him.
"The dagger belongs to my Rong family, and the horse was donated by General Yun. None of this has anything to do with the imperial court! Is that okay?!"
Duan Jie sighed heavily and wanted to persuade them again, but he saw that everyone else had also taken off their armor and swords.
The Lion Army, wearing ordinary winter clothes without protection, rode away on horseback under the leadership of Rong Yi, leaving only a cloud of dust behind for Duan Jie and the Northern Expedition soldiers.
Among the Northern Expedition soldiers, someone cursed in a low voice:
"Compared to them, we are such fucking wimps!"
…
…
It is said that the Lion Army rode out of the camp.
As Rong Yi and the others were galloping towards the royal court, holding short knives or daggers, they saw a black horse running towards the camp from afar.
Luo Dongdong stretched his neck and looked carefully:
"A pure black horse? It looks like the boss's water dragon! How come it's so fat in just a few days?"
Rong Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at it. As the black horse got closer, he could see clearly that it was not a water dragon, but a rare Luojiang Plateau horse, the Cloud-Swallowing Beast.
This breed of horse is tall and strong, with muscular body. Its neigh is like thunder, and when it leaps up, it has the majestic aura of swallowing clouds and spitting out the sun.
But unfortunately, their temperament is unpredictable and they cannot be used for large-scale breeding in cavalry regiments.
Most of the Cloud-Swallowing Beasts are brown and white in color. This kind of beast that is shiny black is almost one in a hundred thousand.
Seeing this rare and good horse for the first time, Rong Yi and Luo Dongdong couldn't help but look at it carefully and comment on the Swallowing Cloud Beast.
"Look at how bright its eyes are. It's obvious that it's a good horse that understands human nature!"
"The skin is beautiful! It's as good as a water dragon!"
"His chest is broad, his nostrils are huge, and he definitely looks powerful when he runs!"
"The back is also very broad. That back...eh? It looks like there's someone on it?"
"It seems to be... Boss?"
When the Cloud Swallowing Beast slowly approached, the two finally saw it clearly. Their eyes widened instantly and they screamed in shock:
"Fuck! It's the boss!!"
The soldiers rushed forward, shouting excitedly, "It's really the boss! The boss is back!" But when they rushed to the black horse, they were all stunned.
Yun Chen was covered in blood and lying motionless on the horse's back, like a blood-red ice sculpture.
