Tang Yin got everyone to recount their names, then asked them about their background. Afterwards, he got them to send over food and wine, and chat while eating.

Halfway through the banquet, a guard came in to report that Gu Chen, who called out his Lieutenant's Mansion, was requesting an audience. The Lieutenant's Mansion was responsible for the security of the city and Gu Chen was one of the people in charge of that area.

Tang Yin asked the guards to invite him in. Not long after, Gu Chen walked in from outside. He did not glance around, and turned a blind eye to the crowd, all the way to Tang Yin, interposed himself and bowed, then said: "I, Gu Chen, am participating in the king!"

Waving his hand, Tang Yin asked: "What is it, General Gu?"

"This ?" Gu Chen's gaze swept left and right, his face revealing a troubled expression, he did not speak immediately. Seeing that, Tang Yin immediately understood what he meant, he raised his head and said: "Come closer and speak!"

"Yes!" "Great King!" Gu Chen replied, he went around the table and came to Tang Yin's side and knelt on the ground, then said in a low voice: "Great King, I just received the news that there are a large number of Ning Country Spirit Cultivator at Qiukou Manor outside the capital city, and they might be people from the Countercurrent Flow. I plan to encircle and annihilate them, I hope Great King is willing!"

Although Gu Chen was one of the people in charge of the Lieutenant's Mansion, and could freely move the troops within the city walls, he would need Tang Yin's permission to lead the huge army and leave the Yan City.

After Tang Yin heard this, a glint flashed past his eyes, and he asked: "Is the information accurate?"

Gu Chen nodded his head and said confidently: "The person who reports the news to this general will definitely not dare to lie."

"Yes!" Tang Yin responded as his eyes spun. After pondering for a moment, he looked at the people below and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind. He said to Gu Chen: "Everyone here, we are all the elites from this time's Levy of Soldiers selection. However, I do not understand their strength well, so this time, let them accompany you to encircle and annihilate Countercurrent Flow's main forces, you should take a look at their abilities as well. When you return, tell me in detail!"

Gu Chen was startled at first, then cupped his hands and replied: "Yes! This lowly general obeys your orders! "

Tang Yin waved his hand towards Gu Chen, telling him to retreat to the side first, then he said to everyone present: "There's a small town called Qiukou Manor, located five kilometers west of Capital City. Currently, a group of traitors are gathered there who are dissatisfied with the Imperial Court and are extremely dangerous.

Everyone's spirits were lifted as they cupped their hands together and said, "As the King commands, we will definitely give it our all!"

"Alright, this matter should not be delayed. Everyone, let's set off now!" Saying that, Tang Yin reminded them in all seriousness: "The traitors cannot be compared to ordinary people, you all must be careful."

"Yes!" "Great King!" Everyone accepted the order. Many of them had already started to secretly rub their palms together. They were prepared to go all out and show off in front of the King.

They did not delay any further, and immediately bowed and said their farewells to Tang Yin, then followed Gu Chen.

Before Gu Chen came to see Tang Yin, he had already prepared ten thousand elite Lieutenant's Mansion soldiers ready to go. He brought twenty elites from the Levy of Soldiers and gathered with the army.

After they left, Tang Yin was still a little worried, since there were a few other people amongst them who were General Wen, and their spirit skills were not strong, he told Cheng Jin to bring his Hidden Arrow Crew, and follow secretly, in case of danger, he could come out and protect them.

As for Gu Chen and the rest, there was nothing to talk about on the road, when they reached the vicinity of the Qiukou Manor, he had his subordinates prepare twenty sets of steel armour, and gave them to Hu Xia and the rest, telling them to equip them. Furthermore, he repeatedly reminded them that if they met any enemies on the way, they should not act rashly, and must definitely follow his orders.

Gu Chen and his uncle Gu Chong jointly controlled Lieutenant's Mansion. In terms of rank, they were high officials of the second rank, so Hu Xia and the others were extremely respectful and courteous to him.

When the people heard his words, they did not dare be careless. They cupped their hands and said: "General Gu, do not worry, we will definitely follow orders."

That's for the best! muttered in his heart, and did not say anymore. He separated his troops and left five thousand people behind to block the town's exit, while he himself led the rest of the five thousand Feng Army and Hu Xia to Qiukou Manor.

The arrival of Lieutenant's Mansion's army was sudden, and after entering the town for a while, it immediately caused panic and disturbance among the people. There was no time to explain it to the people. Gu Chen ordered that all the large and small streets in the town be sealed, and martial law was applied everywhere.

As he gave the order, the entire army moved. A large number of Feng Army s forcefully drove the citizens of the street back home, and they also forcefully shut down all the shops on both sides of the street.

All of a sudden, many of these troops came, and for some reason, the commander of the army who was stationed at Qiukou Manor, along with a group of garrison soldiers, hurried over, and upon seeing that the streets were filled with groups of three to five officers and soldiers, everyone was flabbergasted and panicking. The Captain dragged a soldier from Lieutenant's Mansion and asked anxiously, "Brother, which army are you from? Why did you suddenly come to Qiukou Manor? "

That soldier looked at him up and down, then turned around and pointed. "My general is over there. If you have anything to say, you can ask him!"

The Captain looked at the direction the soldiers were pointing. Sure enough, there was a troop of young generals leading a troop of horses on the street in front of them. Behind them were dozens of knights who were wearing the armor of generals. He took a deep breath and sprinted forward. When he arrived in front of the horse team, he knelt on one knee and interfered with the greeting, saying with a trembling voice: "This lowly one is the commander of the Qiukou army, Yu Yi, greets the general. May I know what matter the general is leading the army to Qiukou?"

Gu Chen did not even look at him, and acted as if he did not hear his words, continuing to patrol his left and right, continuously commanding the soldiers around. Just then, a young man dressed in civilian clothes suddenly came out from a small alley beside the street, and quickly ran towards Gu Chen.

Seeing this, all the soldiers on the left and right rushed forward and knocked the young man down to the ground without a word. Then, they pressed him firmly to the ground. The young man raised his head with an ashen face and shouted at Gu Chen: "Brother Gu, I'm Xiao Wu!"

Gu Chen waved to the soldiers who were holding the young man back, and said: "Let him go, get him over here!"

The soldiers responded one by one and released the young man. The young man who called himself Xiao Wu crawled up from the ground, patted off the dust on his body, and glared at the surrounding people. Then, he pushed away the soldier in front of him and walked in front of Gu Chen, flattering him: "Big Brother Gu, those people are all in the house to the east of town.2

"Well done!" Gu Chen's ice-cold face finally revealed a trace of a smile. He reached into his bosom, took out a small cloth bag and threw it at the youth.

The latter accepted it with a smile, and weighed it in his hand. Feeling that it was heavy, he nodded and bowed as he said: "Thank you Big Brother Gu, thank you Big Brother Gu! Big Brother Gu, I'll lead the way for you! "

"Yes!" Gu Chen raised his head, it was only at this time that his gaze landed on the thousand-man commander in front of him. He urged him forward, raised the horsewhip in his hand and knocked it on the thousand-man commander's helmet, and said solemnly: "As the leader of a garrison, a large number of traitors have appeared in the area under their jurisdiction, and he actually did not notice anything. With your head, I think we can move too!"

Hearing this, the Captain was so frightened that his face turned pale. He kneeled on the ground and kept kowtowing as he said repeatedly, "General, please spare us! Please spare us!"

Gu Chen ignored him and urged his horse past him.

Very quickly, Gu Chen led the five thousand Lieutenant's Mansion army and surrounded the house on the east side that Xiao Wu had mentioned.

The house could not be considered small. It had a main house, two rooms on the left and one on the right. It had a front yard and a backyard. However, within the enormous courtyard house, it was absolutely silent, terrifyingly silent.

Hu Xia and the rest looked at each other, their faces filled with worry. Hu Xia urged his horse forward, came to Gu Chen's side and softly asked: "General Gu, why is it so quiet inside? Have the rebels fled? "

Gu Chen's face became gloomy, he did not reply, but instead, threw his head to the left and right of the soldiers, and shouted: Go in and take a look!

Following his voice, three Feng Army walked out from the crowd, carefully arriving in front of the house's main entrance. First, he reached out his hand to push open the gate, and after a few tries, he didn't push it open.

The three of them looked at each other, and one of them beckoned to his two companions to get out of the way. Then he took a deep breath, gathered his strength, and rushed forward two steps.

Following a crisp crack, the courtyard door shattered. However, before this person could even rush into the courtyard, an arrow had already flown out from within and struck him squarely in the chest.

"Pu!" The power of this arrow was too great. Not only did it pierce through the leather armor on the soldier's chest, it even pierced through his chest. The tip of the arrow came out from the soldier's back.

The soldier let out a blood-curdling scream. He was sent flying one meter backwards by the force of the arrow. Then, he landed heavily on the ground and died on the spot.

Everyone around was shocked, Gu Chen's eyes released a terrifying light, and shouted: "Release the arrows into the hole!"

As he gave the order, the Feng Soldier s surrounding the courtyard all climbed onto the walls of the courtyard.

In the blink of an eye, the main house, the windows, and doors of the rooms were all pierced by the arrows, and a series of "ding ding dang dang" sounds rang out from within the rooms.

Before Feng Army's shot could come to an end, Dong Zhu and Yuan Hao who were standing behind Gu Chen and were selected by the Levy of Soldiers shouted out together: "General Gu, I will go in and capture the thief!" After they finished talking, the two of them did not wait for Gu Chen's orders and carried the two of them into the courtyard.

Seeing that, Gu Chen's nose twitched, he had clearly warned them not to act on their own, and to listen to his orders, but these two completely ignored his words.

He cursed in his heart: Damn it! However, he still shouted towards the surroundings, "Stop firing your arrows!"
