Chapter 176 The Intimidate of Iron and Lightning
That's right, he had made the scar on Lei Tia's face. He entered the army when his cultivation level was high. How hard would it be for outsiders to hurt him? Only himself.
Qin Mian had never thought of letting Princess Yan Qing go, he did not feel the slightest bit of guilt towards the things he had done to Princess Yan Qing today. If the Princess Yan Qing still doesn't take it when she's down, he has plenty of ways to deal with her. The Emperor Xiao Hui and the empress dowager were also nothing good in Qin Mian's eyes. Shouldn't a loyal official who performed meritorious military service be treated even better? Even after Lei Tia destroyed her own face, the Emperor Xiao Hui and the empress dowager still didn't give up on the idea of letting him marry the Princess Yan Qing. If it weren't for the fact that Yuan Yuan and he still needed to live in the mortal world for a long time, even if the Emperor Xiao Hui agreed to give the throne to Lei Tia, Qin Mian and Lei Tia wouldn't have entered the capital.
Not long after Qin Mian and Lei Tia left the Second Prince Palace, the things that happened in the Second Prince Palace were written in a secret book by the Emperor Xiao Hui's spy and sent to the Emperor Xiao Hui's imperial desk.
When the Emperor Xiao Hui finished looking at it, he casually burnt the jade. He couldn't, and wouldn't do anything to Qin Mian. Firstly, since the begi
ing, Qin Mian had not brought up the name of the Princess Yan Qing, so it was not considered disrespectful at all. Secondly, he was in need of the country's s right now, so there was no need to make them unhappy because of some trivial matters. But Emperor Xiao Hui suspected that Qin Mian had seen through the second point before he dared to be so bold.
After returning to the National Duke's Mansion from the Second Prince Palace and entering the gate, the moment Qin Mian dismounted from his horse, he took out two pieces of paper and handed them over to him.
"What is it?" Qin Mian asked.
"Open it and take a look."
Opening up two pieces of paper, the two big red words "room deed" made Qin Mian raise his eyebrows.
"These two shops ??"
Lei Tia stared at him, "Aren't you going to open a medicine shop and a silver building?"
The two storefronts were of the same size and were extremely suitable for opening medicine stores and silver pavilions. Qin Mian really wanted to pounce and kiss him, this guy had solved his big problem without batting an eyelid.
"You found a relationship?"
Lei Tia replied, "Great General Left Wei Wei. I've saved him before. "
Qin Mian said: "Martial general? How much should we pay? "
Lei Tia nodded, "Of course."
Qin Mian couldn't wait to go to the two stores and be stopped by Lei Tia.
"Let's eat first."
Qin Mian laughed dryly in embarrassment, "I almost forgot. Ruiqi and Ruilin were still complaining last night that I hadn't cooked for a long time. "Alright, go cook."
Lei Tia walked beside him. Even though he was currently in National Duke, he didn't change the habit of helping Qin Mian heat up a fire.
When there was still an hour before the end of school, Qin Mian had cooked a big pot of Fried Rice with Incense, and a pot of Wintermelon Ribs Soup. After filling up both Yuan Yuan and Qian, he and Lei Tia had dealt with the rest.
After lunch, he rested for a while and decided to take a look at the two stores.
Lei Tia prepared to accompany him, but Lei Qinzhong hurriedly came to report, "Master, something happened in the army camp!"
Lei Tia frowned, "My wife, I ??"
"Business is more important." Qin Mian completely understood and said, "Be careful in all matters. Lei Qinzhong, your and Lei Qinshun's eyes lit up a little.
"Please rest assured Madam."
Qin Mian brought Lei Qinle to the shop.
Lei Tia changed into his battle robes and rushed to the army camp on the outskirts. Along the way, Lei Qinzhong narrated the entire story in detail.
The three armies commanded by Lei Tia included the former army of thirty thousand, the central army of thirty thousand and the rear army of thirty thousand. The former army was the vanguard army, the middle army was the main force under the lead of the main general, and also the main force. There was a second rank general in the front, a second rank general in the middle, and a second rank general in the rear. They were the former General Long, the Central Commander, and the former General Wu. The reason the three of them were able to climb up to such a high position was because they had some ability and co
ections. Long before Lei Tia had entered the capital, they already knew that the generals in command of the three armies would be replaced. It was unknown who spread the news, but it was highly likely that one of the three would be the commander of the three armies. Who would have thought that the last spot would end up in Lei Tia's hands. Many of the veterans and veterans in the barracks had heard of Lei Tiangang's fame, and there was no lack of new recruits who were filled with reverence towards him. However, Lei Tianqiang has already been away from the army for eight years. Former General Tong Di Bao, General Zhong Yu and General Ding Wen Chang all thought that Lei Tian was part of the past and were not convinced by him. Today, this conflict completely erupted.
Lei Tia had led the troops for many years, so he was not surprised by this. If everyone showed him respect and awe, he would be suspicious.
The fine horses rushed into the camp. From a distance, Lei Tia could see that the training grounds were in a mess. The battle between the soldiers who were convinced of Lei Tianqiang and the soldiers who were not, was like a pricked hornet's nest.
Tong Di Bao, Fang Shouchang, and Ding Wen Chang acted like they were provoking him, and did not stop him. Seeing Lei Tia's appearance, not only did they not show any signs of panic, they even looked at him with courage, and were even looking forward to his fury.
But Lei Tia did not, he remained calm, and the rhythm of the horse's hooves did not change at all.
Lei Tia looked down at the three of them from up above and said indifferently: "We shall let our subordinates cause trouble. Are you all unconvinced? "
Tong Di Bao was born with a loud voice, he said loudly: "Surrender! "But what we submit to is military law, not you!"
Lei Tia looked at him in a different light when she saw his "respect". The boy was nearly forty years old. He had a tall and sturdy build and a rough face. There was a simple look in his eyes. However, from the look in his eyes, it was clear that he wasn't as careless as he looked on the surface.
"What do you want?" Lei Tia's gaze swept across the three of them.
"Simple, accept the three of us." He had a head full of gray hair, and was almost fifty years old. At most, he could still fight on the battlefield for another two years. Because of his age, he was the most anxious about the position of the Great General. If he couldn't advance another grade within two years, then it would be even more impossible for him to do so in the future.
The defender general Ding Wenchang was also in his forties, and he was lean and capable. Lei Tia was only thirty years old, and he had just been weaned. The number of victories in his fights was no less than Lei Tia's. As a result, he had nothing else to say and stepped forward, showing that he had the same stance as Tong Di Bao and Fang Shougang. If they could defeat Lei Tia in front of so many people, even if the emperor had the intention to protect Lei Tia, Lei Tia would lose his prestige in the army. At that time, even if the emperor was unwilling, he would have to replace him. This was his plan along with Fang Shouye and Tong Di Bao.
Lei Tia slightly nodded, "Restrain your subordinates. "Come to the podium."
When Tong Di Bao and the other two saw that he had accepted the challenge, they immediately urged their horses to the training field to stop their subordinates.
The soldiers quickly dispersed in accordance with the order. They each returned to their respective formations in an orderly ma
er. Its speed was fast enough to reflect the fact that Tong Dibao and the other two really did have quite a bit of prestige in the army.
Lei Tia stood at the top of the mountains, and his expression did not change.
Tong De Bao's group of three rode up to the general's platform and bowed towards Lei Tia.
"Reporting to Great General, the gathering of soldiers has been completed."
Lei Tia indicated for them to come to the platform.
Tong Di Bao and the other two intentionally intimidated Lei Tia, quickly flying from their horses to the front of the stage.
Lei Tia said in a calm voice, "The three of you, come at me together."
The faces of Tong Di Bao's group of three changed drastically.
"The Great General does not put us in their eyes!" Ding Wenchang sinisterly said.
Lei Tia replied with a question: "Do you have any respect for this general?"
Ding Wenchang stared blankly for a moment and had nothing to say.
Tong Di Bao quickly tried to smooth things over, "Great General, General Ding has no other intentions, I'm just a little anxious. I hope Great General won't take it to heart."
Lei Tia declined to comment and said again: "Let's go together."
He had gone too far! Tong Di Bao and the other two all had the same thought. They looked at each other and surrounded Lei Tia in the middle.
"Great General, sorry for offending you." Fang Shouye was the first to speak.
Lei Tia indicated that they could begin.
Tong Di Bao had the most explosive temper. He jumped in front of Lei Tia and kicked his right leg towards his right armpit quickly and ruthlessly.
Lei Tia's left arm had been bent into an elbow. He smashed it down quickly and ruthlessly, hitting the back of his foot.
Tong Di Bao's right leg trembled slightly from the pain. He knew that there was no need to continue probing, so he looked at Fang Shouchuan with a serious expression, giving him a reminder.
Fang Shouye was an old general, how could he miss Tong Di Bao's reaction? Even if Tong Di Bao was not mentioned, he could tell that Lei Tia was not simple, and he slightly nodded towards Tong Di Bao who was hiding behind Lei Tia.
When the soldiers below saw the situation on the podium, they held back their excitement and watched intently.
Ding Wen Chang stood at the side, not showing any intention of attacking. When Lei Tia, Tong Di Bao and Fang Shouye were once again entangled with each other, he quietly changed his footwork, maintaining the position at the left of Lei Tia's back. What he was going to do was obvious. No one would consider his sneak attack despicable, because on the battlefield, each soldier had only one goal: to use every means at his disposal to kill the enemy and protect himself.
However, after more than twenty moves, Ding Wen Chang realized with a start that he had never found the opportunity to attack! Although Lei Tia seemed to be indifferent, he was actually on his guard.
Without any hesitation, he gave up on the idea of launching a sneak attack and joined the battle.
Some of the soldiers could not help but mutter, "General Ding and the others have gone too far. They actually fought three against one."
However, they didn't know that the more they fought, the more shocked they were. When they used thirty percent of their power, Lei Tia used forty percent of his power to suppress them. But when they used forty percent of his power, Lei Tia used another fifty percent to suppress them ?? No matter what, he was still ten percent higher than them. Not only did he suppress them until they had no way of fighting back, but he also made it so that they were completely unable to see through his strength.
Until nearly an hour later, when Ding Wen Chang finally gave up on the thought of resisting and wholeheartedly accepted Lei Tia as his master. If they continued to fight, the only ones that would lose face would be him, Fang Shouye, and Tong Dibao.
Fang Shouchang wasn't willing to accept this, but Ding Wenchang's wavering of his thoughts also affected Tong Dibao.
In the end, Fang Shouye could only look Tong Di Bao in the eye and withdraw his hand at the same time.
Not everyone could see the profoundness behind it, but when they saw Tong Di Bao and the other two prostrating themselves in front of Lei Tia with one knee full of respect, they all understood.
Lei Tia gave the three of them a "please get up" gesture, causing them to sink into their dantian, and said in a deep voice: "Continue with the drills."
It was just two short words, but it resounded in everyone's ears like a thunderclap. From this, one could see the depth of Lei Tia's power.
All the soldiers revealed looks of reverence as they kneeled down on one knee, shouting "the mighty Great General" in unison, their imposing ma
er overwhelming the mountains and rivers.
