Chapter 481 Riot (Part 2)
The woman's eyes were dim, and she said in a calm tone:
"During the decisive battle of Youzhou, he served as a militiaman and died."
This short sentence was like a heavy blow to the head, which made Rong Yi stand there in shock. He opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound.
The surrounding soldiers were all stunned.
Militia? A martyr's widow? Sentenced to being a military prostitute for violating that beastly new law? Is that what a fucking human being would do?
Nan Lijun thought that by sending women to serve as military prostitutes, he could appease those powerful men?
What did she think of these men who had fought countless bloody battles to defend their country? Just beasts who only cared about physical desires?
Rong Yi could no longer endure it and almost yelled out the words that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time:
"Fuck your mother's surname Nan!"
The powerful and majestic soldiers around were also outraged and started cursing.
At this time, several Beijing army officers and soldiers stood up, and the leader frowned and glared at Xiang Rongyi:
"Watch your words! Who are you scolding? Are you trying to rebel?!"
Rong Yi glared back, his chest heaving with anger, but he forced himself to hold it back and didn't curse back.
He looked around. Now, after the reorganization, the soldiers of the former Lion Army and Tiger Army were all deliberately dispersed and assigned to hard and tiring places. They were all one level lower than the soldiers of the Beijing Army and had to be under the control of the Beijing Army soldiers.
This is the garrison closest to Kyoto, and there are more Beijing troops here than powerful generals, with a ratio of almost ten to one.
The implication of fear and suppression is self-evident.
The officers and soldiers of the Beijing Army are directly under the personal management of Nanli Jun all year round. As the existence that has always guarded the imperial city of Kyoto, they have clear classes, hierarchy and generous treatment. They look down on the crude behavior of the soldiers of the Lion and Tiger Army who fight with each other and call each other "brothers".
The soldiers of the Lion-Mighty and Tiger-Mighty Army looked down upon these greasy-haired and powdered "Beijing Circle gentlemen", thinking that they were all pretty faces that looked good but were useless. They had never even seen a real battlefield, so how could they be considered as real men?
For this reason, although the reorganization has been completed, they are still divided into two factions: the former Lion and Tiger Army soldiers, and the former Beijing Army soldiers, and they are bound to have some quarrels and frictions on weekdays.
Fortunately, Su Zhengyang was in charge. He was lenient and appeasing to both sides, and his reasoning and punishment were fair and just, so there was no major chaos.
Seeing that several Beijing army soldiers were about to confront Rong Yi, Su Zhengyang hurried over to help:
"Alright, stop talking nonsense and go back to camp—Rong Yi, you go back!"
Su Zhengyang thought that it would be best to send Rong Yi, the "thorn", away first.
Rong Yi glanced at Su Zhengyang, and considering that he had been taken care of by Su Zhengyang in the Heavenly Prison during the "Killing Xiyan Palace Rebellion", he felt that he should give him this face and settle the matter peacefully first, and then go back to find a way to seek justice for the military prostitutes.
Unexpectedly, just as Rong Yi turned around to leave, the Beijing army officers misunderstood and thought Su Zhengyang was there to support them. They immediately crossed their arms, raised their chins, looked at him with contempt, and spoke directly across the line:
"Like master, like servant. Just as there are two masters who love to rebel and disrespect the Emperor, there are also these unruly servants who want to make trouble. They eat the emperor's food, yet they are so disrespectful to the Emperor. They are just like 'a certain tiger' or 'a certain cat', all of them are bastards who have forgotten their roots!"
As soon as the Beijing Army officer finished speaking, Su Zhengyang's heart suddenly sank, and he thought to himself, "It's over!"
As expected, Rong Yi, who had originally planned to leave, did not even pause. He turned around like a whirlwind, with a gloomy face, and rushed straight towards the Beijing army, punching him hard in the face.
The Beijing soldier was completely unprepared and was knocked to the ground. He covered his nose with blood and cursed, then immediately jumped up to fight back and engaged in a fight with Rong Yi.
Once these two took the lead, new and old grudges broke out at the same time.
In an instant, the soldiers of the Lion and Tiger Army and the Beijing Army suddenly stood up, shouting and fighting, and started a group fight with weapons.
Su Zhengyang and several of his personal soldiers tried their best to maintain order in the crowd and shouted at the top of their lungs, but it was of no avail. Instead, they were accidentally hit several times by flying stones and sticks.
Seeing the entire camp in chaos, with people shouting and fighting, and the situation getting increasingly out of control, Su Zhengyang roared angrily: "I knew it would be like this!!" Then he hurriedly ordered several of his personal soldiers:
"Go find Yun Chen! Go quickly!!!"
…
…
On the other side, in Yan Mansion in Kyoto City.
Ever since Yun Chen went to the Huo Mansion to rescue Run He that day, after glancing at Huo Gan Nian from afar, she returned to the way she was when she first entered the Yan Mansion:
He sat by the window all day in a daze, looking listless, with tears in his eyes from time to time.
I stopped practicing swordplay, grooming horses, and trying the 108 new dishes the chef had just created.
The cook was so worried that he sighed and scratched his head.
Since Yun Chen didn't eat, Yan Shijiu didn't eat either.
But this time, Yan Shijiu no longer tried every possible way to "keep Yun Chen busy", divert her attention so that she would have no time and energy to miss him, or find some new and interesting things to make her happy.
Yan Shijiu just sat alone in the study, revising and drawing on a rough sketch of something called "Forbidden Mountain", and discussing something with Wan Chen over and over again, day and night.
It looked urgent and mysterious, as if they were discussing something very important.
Therefore, when Su Zhengyang's personal soldiers rushed to Yan's Mansion, Yan Shijiu didn't even have time to ask more questions.
After hearing what the guard said, "There's a riot at the garrison outside the capital, and General Su urgently needs Yun Chen to help," Yan Shijiu directly gave the order to go out to the two guards, and only instructed:
"Escort the lady well."
Now, Yun Chen no longer had time to worry about love. When she heard that the camp was in chaos and it was Rong Yi who started it, she became worried and hurriedly followed Su Zhengyang's personal soldiers on horseback and galloped away.
The journey that would normally take half a day was completed in just over an hour by Yun Chen riding the Cloud-Swallowing Beast.
She rushed into the camp gate in one breath and saw from afar that the entire camp was in a mess. The soldiers were fighting in a group, their heads and faces covered in blood, and it was impossible to tell who was who.
Su Zhengyang and his personal guards tried to separate the restless crowd, but were stuck in the middle and pushed around. Not to mention trying to stop the fight, they even had trouble standing still.
On the side, in the hundreds of carriages, the military prostitutes in the cages hugged each other tightly, frightened and at a loss what to do at the chaotic scene before them.
Yun Chen lowered his head and walked past the prison van and the women without time to stop and ask questions. The most urgent thing was to quell the riot first and make sure no one was killed, otherwise Rong Yi's life would be in danger!
Thinking of this, Yun Chen squeezed his horse's belly hard and rushed into the crowd sideways. He swayed his horse left and right, using his body to forcibly separate the crowd. At the same time, he swung the whip violently. The "snap" and "snap" sounds of the whip lashed the faces of several of the most violent soldiers, quickly dispersing the crowd.
Yun Chen sat high on his fierce horse, leading the horse around as if on patrol, scanning the entire audience with a stern look.
Su Zhengyang watched from the side and felt that the situation was like a tiger entering a monkey park.
In an instant, the soldiers who were jumping up and down and making a fuss just now suddenly became silent. They all stood on both sides with their hands behind their backs, lowered their heads and said nothing.
The boiling and crazy camp finally calmed down. Su Zhengyang looked at Yun Chen, breathed a long sigh, and showed a grateful look from afar.
Yun Chen nodded to Su Zhengyang, then reined in his horse and walked in front of the soldiers of Shiwei and Huwei.
As she expected, although the mighty soldiers were all injured, judging from the situation at the scene, they obviously won the fight.
But what surprised her was that after a rough count, there were less than 200 soldiers of the Lion-like and Tiger-like Army, while there were more than 2,000 Beijing troops on the other side. All of them were beaten with bruises and blood all over their heads. Many of them could not even stand steadily. It was obvious that they were severely beaten by the Lion-like and Tiger-like Army, who were outnumbered ten to one.
For some reason, even though he knew that group fights in the army were absolutely wrong, Yun Chen couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Look at this terrifying fighting power, they are worthy of being the soldiers she led, the mighty army of her and Huo Gannian.
