Wang Chong didn't say anything. At that moment, the atmosphere dropped to a freezing point.
Wang Chong could feel the bone-chilling gaze on him from above, and he was very sure that he wasn't just saying it. He really dared to do it.
"As expected, they still came!"
Wang Chong let out a long sigh in his heart. For others, this scene might be unexpected, but for Wang Chong, it was not unexpected at all.
"Everything has its priorities. If I had told you in advance, would you have let us go?"
Wang Chong had been talking with his head lowered, but he suddenly raised his head.
"Impudent! There are laws in the army. If everyone did this, how would that be? If soldiers have no discipline, how are they any different from mountain bandits and horse bandits? "
These words were spoken so boldly that Wang Chong had nothing to say.
"Hehe, so the commandant wants to punish us? After all this? "
Wang Chong suddenly laughed.
"Humph! Do you think I don't dare to be arrogant?! "
Fury flashed across the eyes of the Big Dipper Army commandant.
"Meritorious service will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished. I will note down your contributions and record them in the book, but you must also be punished for acting without authorization, escaping without permission, and disobeying orders. Nothing can be accomplished without rules. Guards! Take him down! "
As the Big Dipper Army commandant spoke, he pointed at Wang Chong said.
"Buzz!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a few people instantly rushed out of the trench. Each of them was well-built and had a fierce look in their eyes. They even leaped out with iron staffs in their hands.
The military staff in the army was not made of wood. Against a True Martial Realm martial artist, only iron was useful.
As soon as the six military judges appeared, they immediately fanned out and surrounded Wang Chong.
"Wait!"
Seeing the menacing glint in the eyes of the six military judges, Wang Chong immediately knew that the Big Dipper Army commandant was prepared. When he said that he would take him down and deal with him according to military law, it was not just empty words. He really wanted to do it.
"Hmph, if you violate military law, you'll be punished by military law. It's the same no matter how great your contributions are. What else do you have to say now? Take him down! "
With a cold expression, the Big Dipper Army commandant pointed his right index finger at Wang Chong.
"Ha! Quickly surrender and don't make a mistake! If you dare to resist, your punishment will be increased! "
Among the six, one of the military judges shouted. His expression was ferocious. With a shake of his hand, he pulled out a chain and was about to put it on Wang Chong's body.
When the military judge in the army enforced the military law, he had already considered the possibility of resistance, so he had prepared this kind of shackle that was similar to the Ministry of Justice.
However, unlike the Ministry of Justice, these shackles were made of deep sea black iron and had inscriptions on them. Every single one of them was extremely sturdy and could not be broken easily.
"Roar!"
When one of them made a move, the others immediately roared and pounced on him from all directions.
He had long been prepared for this moment. There was no room for Wang Chong to resist.
"How dare you! Who dares to make a move! "
Seeing that the military judge was getting serious, Wang Chong decided not to stand on ceremony. With a flick of his right palm, the golden token on The King of Song immediately appeared in his palm.
"With the token of the King of Song here, who dares to make a move!"
The silhouette of a vigorous dragon appeared on the golden token, and it was aimed straight at the military judge. Upon seeing the silhouette of the dragon, the six military judges felt as if their eyes had been pricked by needles. Their hearts tightened, and they felt as if they had bumped into an invisible wall, causing them to come to a halt.
No matter how ignorant they were, they knew that in the Central Plains, the Tang dynasty was the territory of the royal family. Using the silhouette of a dragon was a crime punishable by death.
With a single look, they could tell that the token in Wang Chong's hand was of extraordinary origin, and it wielded unparalleled authority. This wasn't an existence that they, military judges, could afford to offend.
Weng!
Upon seeing the token, even the Big Dipper Army commandant's face warped in shock. Without a doubt, he didn't expect Wang Chong to have such an artifact on him.
"Hmph, what token? I don't recognize it at all! "
The Big Dipper Army commandant suddenly bellowed.
"A bunch of bastards, don't fall for his tricks. Take him down and deal with him according to military law! "
"Hmph, you don't recognize the token of the King of Song? You don't even recognize the transfer order from the Bureau of Military Personnel? "
However, Wang Chong seemed to have expected such a sight. With a flick of his wrist, he took out another piece of paper and swiftly stowed it away.
"The transfer order from the Bureau of Military Personnel is to be executed first and report later. This transfer order has the seal of the Bureau of Military Personnel on it, as well as the signatures of many lords. With just a single transfer order, I can send you to the barren lands by the borders, starting from the position of a foot soldier. Do you really think that Geshu Han will be able to protect you? "
At the end of his words, Wang Chong's voice suddenly rose a notch, and his expression turned stern.
Hong long!
A token of the King of Song and a transfer order from the Bureau of Military Personnel paled in comparison to Wang Chong's final words. The Big Dipper Army commandant widened his eyes in disbelief as he stared at Wang Chong. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Hmph, you're doing this for Geshu Han, right? Do you really think that I don't know anything? You better think it through. If you want to please that Big Dipper Great General of yours, you'll have to see if you can withstand the wrath of the Wang Clan and The King of Song Clan. You should ask that Lord Geshu Han of yours if he can bear the consequences! "
Wang Chong's eyes seemed to peer into the depths of the Big Dipper Army commandant's soul.
Hong long long!
The Big Dipper Army commandant felt as if he had seen a ghost. At this moment, he wasn't just shocked anymore. In fact, there was even a tinge of fear.
This young man was far more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. He had thought that everything he had done was flawless, but he couldn't figure out where he had exposed himself.
Moreover, the pressure revealed in the other party's words caused him to break out in a cold sweat. It was like a raging storm.
There were some things that couldn't be revealed!
There was a huge difference between revealing the truth and not revealing it. If Wang Chong hadn't exposed him, there were still some things that he could have done. But now, no matter how bold he was, he didn't dare to continue on like this.
If Wang Chong was just an ordinary cadet of the training camp a moment ago, the current him was a sharp blade that could send shivers down one's spine.
The Bureau of Military Personnel, the King of Song, and the Wang Clan — all of these backgrounds had been revealed, and the young man before him wielded strength that could strike fear into the hearts of many.
This wasn't a strength that any ordinary person could afford to provoke.
More importantly, the young man before him had seen through his secrets.
"Gongzi, I don't know what you are talking about!"
The Big Dipper Army commandant's forehead was drenched in cold sweat. He knew that his intentions had been seen through.
"Hmph, it's enough that you know. Help me tell Geshu Han that if you want to deal with me, feel free to use whatever means you have. If you have any tricks up your sleeves, feel free to use them. But this kind of sneaky tricks, what are they? "
Wang Chong sneered coldly.
Paying no heed to the Big Dipper Army commandant, Wang Chong leaped onto his steed and galloped away.
"Prestigious clans, influential officials of the royal court, great generals of the empire … This isn't a matter that a mere commandant like you can interfere with. I'll let this matter rest, but in the future … I hope that you will behave yourself! "
Wang Chong's cold voice echoed in the air, but his figure had already vanished.
On the ground, the Big Dipper Army commandant finally stood up. That short clash had left him completely exhausted. In fact, it was even more dangerous than the previous battle.
The Big Dipper Army commandant knew that he had dodged a calamity.
"I thought that I would stand up for the great general, but it seems like I was too naive! That young man isn't someone that I can deal with at all. "
The Big Dipper Army commandant sighed as such thoughts flashed through his mind.
Wang Chong was right when he said that he knew his identity. In fact, when Wang Chong first entered the camp, he had already recognized him and reported him to Great General Geshu on the front lines.
In the territory of Longxi, as long as one was a commander of the Big Dipper Army, there was no one who didn't know of Wang Chong.
After the regional commanders incident and the humiliation of Big Dipper Great General Geshu Han, the other Han might have sided with Wang Chong. However, the commanders of the Big Dipper Army were all on Geshu Han's side.
Geshu Han had been in Longxi for many years, and his reputation in the army was as high as the noon sun. Although he was a Hu, he was highly respected.
On top of that, he had repelled Ouzan's men and protected Longxi. Everyone in the army respected him even more.
It was also because of this that he thought of taking revenge on Wang Chong on behalf of the Great General. That was why the scene just now happened.
This wasn't a spur of the moment idea; it had been decided from the start.
Just that, he didn't expect Wang Chong to be so quick-witted. Just by looking at a spot, one could tell the whole leopard, and from a single falling leaf, one could tell the meaning of autumn. His intentions had been completely seen through.
"It seems like I can only report this matter to the Great General and let him make the final decision!"
The Big Dipper Army commandant sighed. He quickly took out a simple brush and paper, leaned over a rock, and wrote a letter.
Hualala!
With the flapping of wings, a white carrier pigeon soared into the sky, bringing the letter back to the frontlines of Longxi.
...
"I'm afraid that I have to leave now!"
Upon returning from the Big Dipper Army commandant's residence, Wang Chong's first words left everyone shocked.
"What happened?"
"What happened?"
...
A group of people immediately rushed over. They were the closest to Wang Chong, and for Wang Chong to say that he was leaving the moment he returned was simply too abrupt.
No matter how slow they were, it was clear to them that something had happened.
"The Big Dipper Army commandant has seen through my identity, and Geshu Han knows that I am here. I can no longer remain in Longxi's territory. Besides, the third mission has been completed, so it's about time for me to return to the training camps. "
Wang Chong spoke concisely.
Longxi was Geshu Han's territory, and the regional commanders incident was a grudge between the two of them. No matter how childish Wang Chong was, he didn't think that Geshu Han was a magnanimous person who would let this matter go so easily.
If that was the case, Geshu Han wouldn't have submitted a memorial to the Holy Emperor that he was going to be executed. As long as he remained in Longxi's territory, the longer he stayed, the more danger he would be in.
Wang Chong was certain that Geshu Han wouldn't allow him to leave so easily. It was still early, so there was still time.
