The Suddenly Bouncing Chicken

Mo Yunxuan followed Chen Wei into the council hall. The generals, very consciously, cleaned the main seat and offered it to Mo Yunxuan.

Mo Yunxuan naturally took the seat without hesitation. He looked down at the generals who were taking their seats and said:

"Generals, my father passed away unexpectedly, and this lord can only be considered to have taken up the post under duress. I ask all generals to introduce yourselves so I can get to know you."

As soon as Mo Yunxuan finished speaking, Chen Wei, seated to his lower left, stood up obligingly:

"Duke, I am Chen Wei, Deputy General of the Imperial City Imperial Guard and Commander of the Left Xiao Guard. My cultivation is Spirit Transmutation Late Stage, I command 50,000 soldiers of the Left Xiao Guard, and I am responsible for guarding the East City Gate and the South City Gate."

"Duke, I am Zhang Tong, Deputy General of the Imperial City Imperial Guard and Commander of the Right Xiao Guard. My cultivation is Spirit Transmutation Late Stage, I command 50,000 soldiers of the Right Xiao Guard, and I am responsible for guarding the West City Gate and the North City Gate."

[Name: Zhang Tong]
[Identity: Commander of the Right Xiao Guard, Imperial City Imperial Guard, Dagan Dynasty]
[Cultivation: Spirit Transmutation Late Stage]
[Cultivation Technique: Blood Battle Scripture]
[Loyalty: 91]

"Duke, I am Fang Liang, Deputy General of the Imperial City Imperial Guard and Commander of the Left Wei Guard. My cultivation is Spirit Transmutation Middle Stage, I command 50,000 soldiers of the Left Wei Guard, and I am responsible for patrolling the city."

[Name: Fang Liang]
[Identity: Commander of the Left Wei Guard, Imperial City Imperial Guard, Dagan Dynasty]
[Cultivation: Spirit Transmutation Middle Stage]
[Cultivation Technique: Blood Battle Scripture]
[Loyalty: 62]

"Duke, I am Meng Qianxue, Deputy General of the Imperial City Imperial Guard and Commander of the Right Wei Guard. My cultivation is Spirit Transmutation Middle Stage, I command 50,000 soldiers of the Right Wei Guard, and I am responsible for patrolling the city."

[Name: Meng Qianxue]
[Identity: Commander of the Right Wei Guard, Imperial City Imperial Guard, Dagan Dynasty]
[Cultivation: Spirit Transmutation Middle Stage]
[Cultivation Technique: Blood Battle Scripture]
[Loyalty: 98]

Following Chen Wei's introduction, the other generals also introduced themselves one after another. The scene was orderly, and Mo Yunxuan gained a better understanding of the 200,000 Imperial City Imperial Guard.

Zhang Tong, the commander responsible for the Right Xiao Guard, was a dark-skinned, burly man with a face full of rough flesh, the kind who could scare parents to tears just by running out to snatch candy from a child.

Mo Yunxuan knew Meng Qianxue, the commander responsible for the Right Wei Guard. From his memories, Meng Qianxue had been arranged to be his fiancée by the Old Duke when he was very young.

They had a good relationship when they were young, but their interactions gradually decreased after Meng Qianxue joined the army.

Looking at Meng Qianxue, who kept winking at him, her heroic yet playful demeanor was truly exciting!

Fang Liang, the commander responsible for the Left Wei Guard, had a refined appearance, similar to the Child of Destiny from today. He belonged to the type that looked better with age.

According to previous records, Fang Liang did not seem to be very old, but his strength and abilities were so outstanding that the Old Duke had promoted him to commander of the Left Wei Guard exceptionally.

However, looking at the panel with only 62 loyalty points, it was estimated that a little temptation would be enough for him to betray himself easily for profit.

Especially since the current Empress had only recently ascended the throne. Although her cultivation suppressed the entire Dagan Dynasty, it was absolute nonsense to say that the Empress did not want to gain control of the 200,000 Imperial City Imperial Guard of the Wei State Duke Mansion.

Unfortunately, although the Wei State Duke Mansion was called a loyal minister of the state, their loyalty had always been to the Dagan Dynasty.

They had always maintained a neutral stance in the Imperial Court, rarely openly supporting the Empress on certain decisions.

Once the Empress discovered that there was an wavering Fang Liang within the Imperial City Imperial Guard, she would definitely try to win him over at all costs.

Then, using Fang Liang's hand, she would split the Imperial City Imperial Guard and turn the Left Wei Guard entirely into her direct subordinate force.

With Fang Liang's position as the commander of the Left Wei Guard, even if the attempt to split the Imperial City Imperial Guard failed in the end, it would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

It seems I need to find an opportunity to expose Fang Liang completely and get rid of him in one go! Mo Yunxuan thought to himself.

However, on the surface, he did not reveal the slightest abnormality, still smiling at the other generals present.

Although they had just met, and their strength and potential varied, the loyalty points on the panels that popped up...

none were below 80, and many were even above 85. It seemed that the high-ranking generals of the Imperial City Imperial Guard were indeed quite reliable.

After the introductions were complete, Mo Yunxuan spoke: "Generals, this lord is new here and cannot fully grasp military affairs yet. Please bear with me for any shortcomings."

After speaking, he even stood up and bowed to everyone. The generals also quickly stood up to return the courtesy.

After the salutations were finished, Mo Yunxuan sat back in the main seat and looked at the four commanders, saying sternly:

"I need the specific roster of the Imperial City Imperial Guard, and the Imperial Guard of the Wei State Duke Mansion will investigate and verify the Imperial City Imperial Guard within a month. I hope for your cooperation."

Chen Wei, as the representative, was the first to reply: "Please rest assured, Duke. We will arrange to organize the roster as soon as possible upon our return, ensuring there are no ghost soldiers or exploitation of soldiers within the army."

Zhang Tong and Meng Qianxue also nodded in agreement.

Only Fang Liang, the commander of the Left Wei Guard, showed impatience, snorting coldly: "Does the Duke not trust us?"

Chen Wei and the other two were completely taken aback that Fang Liang would provoke the new Duke of Wei in such a setting. The surrounding generals also frowned.

The hot-tempered Commander of You Xiao Guard, Zhang Tong, directly cursed, "Fang Liang! His Grace the Duke is merely sending the Imperial Guard to supervise the Imperial City Imperial Guard as per custom, what kind of attitude is this, you gnyd? Believe it or not, I'll beat you!"

Fang Liang, already young and arrogant, naturally couldn't stand such provocation. He slammed the table and stood up, glaring directly at Zhang Tong.

He roared angrily, "Zhang Tong! Don't push it. You are the Commander of You Xiao Guard, and I am the Commander of Left Wei Guard. Although my strength is inferior to yours, my military rank is not lower than yours. You dare to beat me, try it?"

The generals from the surrounding guards looked at Fang Liang's cowardly yet furious appearance and couldn't help but sneer, discussing in hushed tones.

"General Fang's fierce but weak demeanor is truly frightening!"

"He deserves a beating for disrespecting His Grace the Duke."

"Exactly. Although His Grace the Duke's strength is not yet high, he is young after all. It's not for Fang Liang to gossip."

"This Fang Liang is simply ungrateful. Everyone has seen how much the Old Duke valued him back then, and he received no shortage of resources."

"Now that the Old Duke is gone, he actually comes to the Young Duke to show off his power. He's worse than a beast."

Although the generals' discussions were deliberately kept low, everyone present, except for Mo Yunxuan, was an expert at the Nascent Soul Late Stage or above. These discussions were all heard by everyone.

Especially the other generals of the Left Wei Guard, their faces immediately turned red, and their eyes towards Fang Liang revealed extreme dissatisfaction.

This instantly made Fang Liang isolated and helpless, becoming the target of public criticism among the generals present.

Such a sudden change left Fang Liang, who was accustomed to being praised and held in high regard, somewhat flustered.
