Establishing Prestige in the Army
"Hmph, these people are arrogant and despotic. Last time, they found an excuse to not meet the Marquis in Excalibur. Now that the Marquis is in the main camp, they dare to be so negligent. They deserve to die! "
"We must punish them properly. Otherwise, they will rebel against the heavens!"
"These people are relying on the power of the Ji Family and a few elders. Sometimes, they will obey the orders of the Immortal King in public but disobey in private!"
The six old generals were shocked by Luo Zheng's strength and received great benefits. Naturally, they stood on Luo Zheng's side and angrily rebuked him.
"Let's wait."
Luo Zheng's expression was indifferent. He pointed at the hourglass on the stone table in front of the main seat and smiled.
A hundred breaths of time passed in the blink of an eye. When the fine sand in the hourglass was about to run out, footsteps came from outside.
Only then did the sound of footsteps come from outside. A few armored cultivators with strong auras entered the large tent while chatting and laughing.
There were seven of them in total. They were all tall and strong, and their cultivation was extremely strong. All of them had reached the late stage of the Earth Dharma Realm. Each of them had a dignified aura, and it was obvious that they were experts who had been in a high position for a long time.
After they entered the tent, they seemed to have not noticed the people present. They talked among themselves and did not even look at Luo Zheng and the others.
The old generals were enraged. They wanted to speak, but were stopped by Luo Zheng.
He smiled and looked at them indifferently. He did not stop them, nor did he look angry. It was as if this was an ordinary thing.
"Who are you? Who let you in? Do you know that the main tent of the Guard Army is an important place for military affairs? Those who enter without notice will die! "
After a while, Luo Zheng suddenly opened his mouth and asked in a cold voice, "You dare to ignore me after seeing me. This is another great crime of despising a superior! Do you know your crime? "
"Know my crime? Hahaha, since when can we not enter the main tent of the Guard Army? What a joke! "
"Who are we? The one sitting here is Marquis Shenjian, right? You gathered us here and asked us who we are? "
"Trespassers will die in a restricted area? Is Lord Shenhou going to chop off our heads? "
"Marquis, we've never met before, so it's normal that we don't know you, right? What do you mean by looking down on a superior official? "
At this time, the complexions of the seven armoured martial artists changed. Some laughed, some roared, and some didn't take Luo Zheng seriously at all.
These seven people were the seven of the twenty-four generals of the Yellow Sky Guards.
"This is the central tent, where this Marquis works. Since you knew that this Marquis was in the tent, you didn't even have the slightest intention of reporting and barged in without permission. How dare you turn a blind eye to this Marquis sitting in the seat of honor? How dare you quibble and say that you didn't violate military discipline! How dare you offend your superior! "
Luo Zheng's expression was serious as he said sternly, "I won't go so far as to chop off your heads. After all, this is the first time you've made a mistake. I will naturally be lenient and give you a chance!"
"What does the Marquis want?"
One of the generals coldly asked.
"The seven of you have committed two major crimes, but this Marquis has always been magnanimous and won't take your lives. I'll just punish each of you with one hundred strokes of the cane!"
Luo Zheng flicked his finger and said in a relaxed tone: "Seal your own cultivations."
"What? You want to give us one hundred strokes of the cane, and after sealing our cultivations? It'd be strange if our butts didn't explode!"
"If this gets out, what prestige will we have in the army? It'll be a joke!"
"You want us to seal our own cultivations? How can this be?!"
The seven generals were both shocked and furious. They simply couldn't accept this.
These generals all had high statuses and great influence in the Yellow Heaven Court.
To have them receive one hundred strokes of the cane in the camp was even worse than death.
Moreover, they were keenly aware that Luo Zheng wanted to establish his authority, and they just happened to be at the tip of the spear.
"Impossible? Do you think this Marquis is joking with you? "
Luo Zheng looked at the generals with a smile. "Do you treat the rules of the army as a joke? The Yellow Heaven Guards are related to the safety of the Yellow Heaven Court. There's no need for people like you to stay in the Yellow Heaven Guards! "
"What! You want to dismiss us? "
"Master Marquis Shenjian, show mercy today, and we'll meet again in the future. I'm a member of the Zhou family. If you go too far, Elder Zhou Huai will lose face!"
"Marquis, although the Immortal King has handed over the defense to you, you can't just appoint and dismiss the 24 generals at will, right?"
"You'd better think carefully. Our Guo family is not so easy to bully!"
"Marquis, I think we should dispense with the cane. At most, we'll just accept the punishment. Our Wang family will pay a million inferior-grade immortal pills to atone for our sins!"
Everyone could see that although Luo Zheng was smiling, he didn't seem to be joking at all. They all panicked.
"Hmph, it seems that you really treat the army as a game? I've already shown mercy, and you still want to bargain? "
