Chapter 516: Chapter 466: How Dare an Eunuch Run Wild at Chongshan Pass! Does This Marquis Have No Regard for His Reputation?_2

Never would I have thought this official would be so clueless, not even giving face to the Imperial Guard Department.

"Do you realize what you are doing?" the tall and thin man asked coldly.

"I am carrying out the orders of the General Mansion. Without the General Mansion or City Guard Bureau’s written command, external soldiers are not permitted to enter the city!" Lin Anguo stated firmly.

"By offending the Imperial Guard Department, not just you, even Marquis Jing’an won’t have a good end!" the tall and thin man said.

Lin Anguo’s expression changed slightly, his pupils narrowing. These words indeed made him more cautious.

Is the Imperial Guard Department really that powerful?

I really don’t know!

What if it is indeed powerful, and even a Marquis cannot afford to offend them, then by blocking them from entering the city, am I not causing trouble for the Marquis?

Lin Anguo became somewhat hesitant.

He was not afraid for himself, because he believed in Yang Zhenshan.

Yang Zhenshan’s love for his soldiers is not just lip service; it is the common recognition of all soldiers under the Five Camps.

Even if he offended this Imperial Guard Department, as long as he was following orders, he believed Yang Zhenshan would not abandon him.

So, he was not afraid of offending people himself; he was just afraid of causing trouble for Yang Zhenshan.

Just as Lin Anguo was hesitating and the atmosphere between the two parties became tense, the sound of hooves once again rang out from the city.

The iron hooves struck the stone pavement, the clattering of hooves merging into a continuous rhythm.

The soldiers stationed at the city gate immediately made way, Yang Zhenshan rode in slowly with his Personal Guard Camp, entering Vessel City.

"Greetings to the Marquis!"

Whosh~

Almost simultaneously, the soldiers within Vessel City stood at attention with their weapons, shouting loudly.

Their booming voices echoed inside Vessel City, rolling like thunder.

Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly, then spurred his horse forward.

"Imperial Guard Department?"

He looked at the tall and thin man and asked.

The soldiers who were on guard duty at the gate had already gone to the General Mansion to report, and he had come over after receiving the report.

Others might not know of the Imperial Guard Department, but he certainly did.

After all, he had just sent Wang Zhongzhi and Lv Hua on their way.

"The eunuch in charge of the Imperial Guard Department, Jiang Cheng, has seen Marquis Jing’an!"

"This humble one is on a mission to capture an escaped criminal, and I hope for Marquis Jing’an’s cooperation!"

Facing Yang Zhenshan, the tall and thin man’s attitude became much milder.

"On whose orders?" Yang Zhenshan asked.

"By the order of Mr. Nansheng from the Ritual Supervision!" Jiang Cheng said proudly.

"Nansheng!"

Yang Zhenshan fixed his gaze on him, "Without His Majesty’s decree?"

Jiang Cheng was taken aback, then said, "Mr. Nansheng supervises the Imperial Guard Department. The Imperial Guard Department only needs to follow Mr. Nansheng’s orders to handle cases!"

Does this require His Majesty’s decree?

Of course not!

Even if His Majesty had a decree, it would not be passed to him; he only needed to follow Nansheng’s orders.

Hearing this, Yang Zhenshan burst into laughter.

"The Imperial Guard Department handling cases only needs to follow Nansheng’s orders, there’s no problem with that? But does Chongshan Town need to follow Nansheng’s orders?"

"How so, do you think Nansheng can mobilize Chongshan Town’s hundred thousand soldiers, or do you think Nansheng can order this Marquis around?"

In the entire Da Rong, Yang Zhenshan only needs to heed two commands: one is the Emperor’s imperial edict, and the other is the Ministry of War’s military command.

Beyond these, even the Five Army Commandery and the Cabinet have no authority to directly move him.

The Cabinet needs to go through the Ministry of War if they want to mobilize troops, and the Five Army Commandery has no authority to mobilize troops at all.

As for Nansheng, to put it nicely he is a court eunuch, to put it bluntly, he is nothing but the Emperor’s servant.

A seventh-rank official in front of the Prime Minister’s doors, yet all around the Emperor stand masters!

Nansheng is a master, no one in the court civil and military would underestimate him.

But to say to follow his orders in handling matters, that’s wishful thinking, see how many in the entire court would care for him.

Upon hearing Yang Zhenshan’s words, Jiang Cheng’s face immediately darkened.

"Marquis Jing’an, this lowly one advises you not to make a mistake!"

Yang Zhenshan drove his horse forward, completely ignoring the other’s shouting, instead looking at the flag officer who was whipped by Jiang Cheng.

He glanced at Lin Anguo, "What are you dazing for, take him down for treatment!"

Lin Anguo shuddered, responded, and hurriedly had the soldiers help the flag officer back to the barracks within the town.

After the flag officer was helped away, Yang Zhenshan turned to Jiang Cheng, "You hit him?"

"So what if it was me who hit him?" Jiang Cheng was tough and confident.

Yang Zhenshan grinned, "Good!"

The next moment, he suddenly sprang up, his spear whirling down heavily.

Bang!

Jiang Cheng was smashed to the ground, horse and all.

"Damn, dare to strike my man, who gave you the guts?"

Speaking, Yang Zhenshan hit him with another spear.

"Everyone stay put, or I’ll whip you all!"

Yang Zhenshan looked up, his eyes coldly scanning the Imperial Guard Department people who were restless.

His gaze was sharp as a spear point, his aura like a cold wind enveloping everyone’s hearts.

The people from the Imperial Guard Department felt a chill and didn’t dare to even breathe hard.

Yang Zhenshan was still not appeased, using the spear as a cudgel, he struck Jiang Cheng repeatedly.

The sound of thudding echoed.

"What kind of place do you think Chongshan Pass is?"

"A eunuch dares to run wild at Chongshan Pass! Do you think the Marquis has no dignity?"

"Without the Emperor’s decree, you dare to come to Chongshan Pass?"

"Does Nansheng have dog shit for brains? Since when can the Imperial Guard Department step out of the Imperial City to handle cases?"

"Damn! Cursed eunuch deserves no good ending!"

Yang Zhenshan hit and cursed each time, while Jiang Cheng cried out in pain with every strike, not even having a chance to beg for mercy.

The miserable scene made everyone from the Imperial Guard Department shiver.

But they did not intend to intervene.

Because Yang Zhenshan was correct about one thing.

Without the Emperor’s decree, how could the Imperial Guard Department dare come to Chongshan Pass?

The Imperial Guard Department is an office within the Imperial City, mainly responsible for covertly monitoring and guarding the Imperial City.

During the 35 years of Emperor Chengping’s reign, the Imperial Guard Department had never left the city, and now not only had they left the city, they had run all the way to Chongshan Town.

The Hidden Guards, who had initially felt there was no problem, now each felt something was amiss.

Of course, they just felt something was amiss; they obeyed orders and as for anything else, it was not their place to consider.

"Cough cough~~"

Just then, a coughing sound rang out.

Yang Zhenshan looked up to the source, somewhat awkwardly retracting his spear.

"Ha ha, Mr. Zhang, I wasn’t cursing at you!"

The person coughing was none other than Zhang Mingzhong, the garrison eunuch of Chongshan Town.

Yang Zhenshan kept saying ’eunuch’ and ’cursed eunuch’, cursing in this manner in front of Zhang Mingzhong seemed somewhat like indirect criticism.

Zhang Mingzhong looked at Jiang Cheng, who was breathing more out than in, and said with a helpless expression: "Marquis, that’s enough, it should be for His Majesty to deal with his mistakes!"

Yang Zhenshan glanced at Jiang Cheng, then kicked him away.

"Fine, for Mr. Zhang’s sake, I won’t bother with this idiot!"

Naturally, he could not kill Jiang Cheng. You have to look to the master when beating a dog; this is Emperor Yanping’s dog, and as a subject, he couldn’t just randomly kill him.

So, he was very measured in his attack. Although Jiang Cheng looked miserable, his injuries weren’t serious, just some superficial flesh wounds.

"You all can roll out too!" Yang Zhenshan coldly glanced at the people of the Imperial Guard Department.

The Imperial Guard Department’s people exchanged glances, two of them lifted Jiang Cheng up, and without another word, left Chongshan Pass.

Marquis Jing’an is so fierce!

This place is dangerous, better to leave quickly!

No one is a fool!

Jiang Cheng had Nansheng’s backing, so he felt he could intimidate Yang Zhenshan, but the rest of the Imperial Guard Department didn’t have that kind of confidence; they didn’t dare to be presumptuous in front of Yang Zhenshan.
