Chapter 1129: Kill the Demon Girl! Save the Marshal!
Although there are still five days to the annual New Year's Eve, the streets and alleys of Yijing are already decorated with lights and colorful lanterns, the sound of firecrackers can be heard one after another, and the festive atmosphere in the air is becoming more and more intense. Everyone is looking forward to the New Year's Eve five days later...

However, although everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the New Year, not everyone is very happy at this time. For example, Wang Guang, commander of the 14th Division of the Fengwu Army, was walking home cursing.

If it were any other time, Wang Guang would definitely be very happy to go home. After all, the environment at home is much better than that in the military camp. The most important thing is that he has two wives and three children at home.

But today is different because just an hour ago, Song Yang, deputy general of the 14th Division, told Wang Guang in person that he was arranged to be on duty at the Liangzhen camp on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day!

When Wang Guang heard that he had to be on duty in the military camp on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, he was of course unwilling to do so. He didn't want to stay alone in the military camp on this day of family reunion, so he directly applied to Song Yang for a transfer!
As long as he doesn't have to be on duty in the military camp on New Year's Eve, he can be on duty for a longer period of time in the future!
Song Yang did not directly reject Wang Guang's request, but told Wang Guang that if he found a commander who was willing to take his place on duty, then he could be replaced. Otherwise, he, Wang Guang, would need to arrive at Liangzhen military camp before sunset on the 29th to take over the duty.

For this reason, Wang Guang also wanted to discuss with the other four commanders of the 14th Division to see who could help make the switch so that he could go home for the New Year on the night of New Year's Eve...
Although Wang Guang’s idea is good, who wouldn’t want to go home to celebrate the New Year on New Year’s Eve?
Although Wang Guang usually has a good relationship with his colleagues, everyone chose to decline Wang Guang's request!
Wang Guang was also very frustrated after being rejected by his colleagues. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was that bastard Song Yang who was deliberately making things difficult for him!

Some time ago, one of his sentry leaders was unable to stay in the army due to rheumatism, so he received money and a letter of introduction from the General Staff and returned to his hometown in Hebei and Henan. As a result, a vacancy for a sentry leader appeared under his command.

A captain named Chen Shenghui under Wang Guang's command had his eyes on the position of sentry chief and wanted to fill it, so Chen Shenghui found Wang Guang and wanted to give Wang Guang 100 taels of silver so that Wang Guang would recommend him to take over the position of sentry chief!

However, Chen Shenghui was always sneaky and cunning, so Wang Guang had a problem with him and disliked him very much. He even thought about applying to the higher authorities to transfer Chen Shenghui.

But Chen Shenghui and Song Yang, the deputy general of the 14th Division, were from Liaoyang and had a good relationship. So for Song Yang's sake, Wang Guang could only tolerate Chen Shenghui staying under his command.

Therefore, even if Chen Shenghui took out one hundred taels of silver to give himself, Wang Guang was unwilling to recommend Chen Shenghui to the higher-ups. And Chen Shenghui thought that he had Song Yang's support, so his attitude was very tough...

He said that even if you, Commander Wang, did not recommend me, I, Chen Shenghui, could still become the sentry leader. In that case, why don't you do me a favor?

Wang Guang was also very angry when he heard this, and immediately kicked Chen Shenghui out of his house. After Chen Shenghui left in shame, he went to find Song Yang.

A few days later, Song Yang found Wang Guang. Although the deputy general of the 14th Division did not say it directly, Wang Guang was not a fool and could naturally hear that he wanted to recommend Chen Shenghui to take over the position of sentry leader. As the saying goes, a higher-ranking official can crush a person to death. Facing the hint from his superiors, Wang Guang was under great pressure!
But Wang Guang thought carefully and realized that the 14th Division was a field force ready to fight at any time. If an incompetent person like Chen Shenghui who only knew how to cheat and play tricks was allowed to become a sentry leader, wouldn't that be treating the lives of hundreds of officers and soldiers in a sentry as a joke?

So, with the idea of ​​being responsible for the lives of his soldiers, Wang Guang resisted the pressure from Song Yang and recommended a subordinate he admired to take over the position of sentry leader!
Seeing that this Wang didn't give him any face at all, Song Yang was very angry. However, Wang Guang was a decent person and he couldn't find any handle on him, so he could only transfer Chen Shenghui from Wang Guang's command to another commander.

At that time, Wang Guang realized that Song Yang would definitely make things difficult for him in the future, but he thought that he was upright and was not afraid of Song Yang playing tricks on him...

However, Wang Guang never expected that Song Yang would disgust him by scheduling shifts during the New Year. Although this move caused limited harm to him, it was extremely disgusting!
Wang Guang had originally planned to take his wife and children to the temple fair on New Year's Day to burn incense and worship Buddha, in order to get a good start for the new year!

However, with such a disgusting trick by Song Yang, all these beautiful expectations turned into clouds. Thinking of this, Wang Guang couldn't help but silently curse Song Yang's ancestors in his heart, cursing this bastard Song Yang to give birth to a son without an anus and die suddenly tonight!

With such a bad mood, Wang Guang returned home. His home was a courtyard house located in the south of Yijing. Although the yard was not large, with only one main room, two side rooms, and two ear rooms for storing miscellaneous items, in a place like Yijing where every inch of land is valuable, owning a house of one's own was very valuable.

Since joining the army, Wang Guang has made many contributions while following the Fengwu Army in its battles and has also received many rewards.

However, because Wang Guang was a filial son, he sent all the military rewards he had received back to his hometown in Liaoyang to his parents. As a result, he did not have much money saved. So he could not afford to buy this courtyard house at all, and could only rent a house with his wife and children!
However, in the battle with the Cumans, Wang Guang performed outstandingly and led his subordinates to take the lead and made great contributions. Therefore, after the superiors learned that he rented a house in Yijing, they allocated this house to him, allowing Wang Guangcheng to have a place that truly belonged to him in the big city of Yijing...
Although he was in a very bad mood, Wang Guang's mood turned from cloudy to sunny when he returned home and saw his three children surrounding him. He put his worries behind him and started playing with his three children.

Just as Wang Guang was enjoying the joy of family, a guest came to the door and said that Wang Guang’s colleague, Lieutenant General Zhao Ping of the 14th Division, wanted him to come over to discuss something.

Although he was somewhat curious about why Zhao Ping wanted to see him, since Zhao Ping was his friend, Wang Guang did not think much about it and followed the man to Zhao Ping's house.

After entering Zhao Ping's house, Wang Guang discovered that there were two other people in Zhao Ping's house besides Zhao Ping. One was a bald man with a sturdy build and bright clothes, and the other was a middle-aged man dressed like a Confucian scholar with a serious expression!

Because in addition to the troops stationed in Yijing City, the Fengwu Army in Yijing is basically stationed in the Liangzhen Camp, which is thirty miles east of Yijing. Therefore, some middle and high-level military officers know each other every day. Although they are not very familiar with each other, at least they are familiar with each other!

So Wang Guang recognized at a glance that the sturdy and well-dressed bald man was Huang Can, the deputy general of the Fifth Division!
It is said that this man was a monk in a temple in Liaoyang. He was strong and had great martial arts skills, but he was driven out of the temple because of his appetite. It happened that the Fengwu Army was recruiting soldiers at that time, so he joined the Fengwu Army. Later, because of his bravery and fearlessness in battle, he rose from a small soldier to become the deputy general of the Fifth Division...

But Wang Guang found the serious-looking Confucian scholar very unfamiliar as he had never seen him before. He concluded that this person was probably not from the military system. However, since he looked like he was on equal footing with Huang Can, Wang Guang felt that this person's identity was definitely not bad and he should be an important figure from other systems. Therefore, Wang Guang did not dare to be negligent. While bowing to Huang Can, he also saluted to the Confucian scholar.

The scholar nodded slightly in return, and Huang Can asked Zhao Ping, the host, with a frown:

"Is everyone here?"

Zhao Ping glanced at Wang Guang beside him and nodded.
"To reply to your Excellency, everyone is here!"

After hearing what Zhao Ping said, Wang Guang was a little confused. He didn't know what his good friend wanted to do by looking for him.
Huang Can, who got a positive answer from Zhao Ping, immediately looked at the Confucian scholar next to him. After the two exchanged glances, the Confucian scholar looked at the door. Seeing this, Zhao Ping immediately stood up, closed the door, and ordered the servants not to approach the room without permission.

Seeing Zhao Ping, Huang Can, and this unknown Confucian scholar looking so mysterious, Wang Guang couldn't help but feel nervous. He had a feeling that this might be a big deal...
When Zhao Ping returned to his seat, the scholar took out a waist badge from his arms and showed it to Wang Guang and Zhao Ping. Seeing the two characters "Tong Diao" on the waist badge, Wang Guang and Zhao Ping's expressions suddenly became solemn. At this time, the scholar said in a deep voice:
"My name is Yang Guoxu, and I'm a captain in the General Coordination Office. You two should have heard of me, right?"

As soon as the three words Yang Guoxu came out, the two veterans of the battlefield, Wang Guang and Zhao Ping, could not help but change color slightly. They were both familiar with this name. When Ye Mingsheng was cracking down on corruption and bribery in the army, this captain of the General Coordination Office named Yang Guoxu was in charge of investigating several cases!
Many strong men in the army could not withstand Yang Guoxu's vicious and cruel means and had to surrender, so Yang Guoxu became notorious in the army.

Wang Guang and Zhao Ping both rose to prominence through military exploits, so they were not affected at the time and did not know Yang Guoxu. However, as they were both in the military, they had naturally heard of Yang Guoxu's notoriety!

Seeing the notorious Yang Guoxu standing in front of him, Wang Guang couldn't help but said:

"I have long admired your great reputation. I wonder why you asked me to come here?"

Yang Guoxu glanced at Wang Guang with a cold gaze and said in a deep voice:

“The reason I asked you to come here today is to save our Fengwu Army from dire straits…”

Wang Guang became even more confused after hearing this. The Fengwu Army was clearly in a very good situation and was about to conquer Sichuan and unify the world. But why did Yang Guoxu make it seem as if the enemy was already at the gates of the city and in dire straits and needed to be rescued?
Seeing Wang Guang and Zhao Ping's puzzled expressions, Yang Guoxu said in a deep voice:

"Let me ask you two, who is the leader of our Fengwu Army?"

Wang Guang and Zhao Ping were stunned when these words came out. Then they looked at each other at the same time and said in unison:
"Of course, handsome!"

Yang Guoxu nodded in satisfaction at their answers, and then he suddenly said with a fierce look on his face:

"The evil woman Murong secretly communicated with Ye Kui, the commander of the Royal Guard Battalion, and plotted to steal power and put the Marshal under house arrest in the Ye Mansion. We are under the order of General Ye Tie to kill the evil woman and save the Marshal!"

As soon as Yang Guoxu finished speaking, Huang Can took out a tiger head token and showed it to Wang Guang and Zhao Ping!

Wang Guang is the commander of the 14th Division, and Zhao Ping is the lieutenant general of the 14th Division. Both of them are middle-level generals of the Fengwu Army. Naturally, they recognize this tiger-head token which represents the identity of Yijing’s general and can mobilize all the troops of Yijing...
If it were something else, Wang Guang and Zhao Ping would definitely choose to believe what Yang Guoxu said, but this matter was really of great importance, so even with the tiger head token, Wang Guang and Zhao Ping could not help but look at each other.

Seeing that Wang Guang and Zhao Ping remained silent, Huang Can on the side could not help but shouted:
"At this time when our Fengwu Army is in turmoil, do Wang Guang and Zhao Ping also want to betray the commander-in-chief and join in the rebellion?"

Being put under such a big hat by Huang Can, Wang Guang immediately defended himself:
"The Marshal has been very kind to us. We would never be able to repay him even if we were to die. But what you said is too shocking!"

Hearing Wang Guang say this, Zhao Ping on the side finally reacted and immediately spoke:
"Yes! Captain Yang's matter is of great importance and we have to be cautious! Do you think it is possible to ask General Ye Tie to give instructions in person?"

Huang Can couldn't help but snorted coldly when Zhao Ping finished speaking. Just when he wanted to say something, Yang Guoxu on the side gave him a look, then sighed and said to Wang Guang and Zhao Ping in a sincere manner:
“I can understand you two. When I first heard the news, I was confused like you two. I even thought it was impossible. But when I saw the Marshal’s imperial edict, I believed that this was true…”

(Based on the previous chapters, you can guess what happened! Will there be a reversal?)
