Chapter 666 The hatred is deep
A thousand knights began to get into chaos, their horses were in a mess and were circling in the field.
This was the first time that all the soldiers had encountered such a situation since they entered the Imperial Guard Camp, and no one knew what to do.
Outside the encirclement, Cui Ying stood not far away, quietly watching the thousand cavalrymen in the field.
These guys who usually look down on others also have moments of panic.
Finally, after a period of chaos, the leader of the thousand cavalry raised his hand to stop his men from making trouble and shouted loudly.
"Calm down, hold on tight!"
Someone came forward to restore order, and all the soldiers gradually quieted down.
The leader rode his horse forward a few steps, which caused a burst of crossbow fire.
"Is there a leader? Come out and talk. There must be a misunderstanding here. Don't be impulsive."
The leader of the soldiers in the encirclement shouted loudly.
"Get off your horse, hold your head, and squat on the ground. I'll say it again, or I'll kill you without mercy!"
The chief sighed helplessly. This did not give him a chance to explain himself, and he did not know where the general had gone.
He looked around and found that the encirclement was in three rows, with countless crossbows pointing at him.
If you want to attack, I'm afraid the damage will be too great.
We are all family, why should we fight with each other?
"Everyone, dismount, lay down your weapons, follow their instructions, and don't resist."
The leader of the Royal Guard Battalion made the most correct choice.
Without the leader coming forward, he didn't dare to act on his own. What if someone really shot him?
This was obviously a trap set for these thousand cavalrymen. If they tried to resist, they would probably be shot into sieves.
A thousand cavalrymen jumped off their horses with a loud noise, hung their weapons on the saddles, and squatted beside their horses.
The deer fence in front of the fence gate was moved away, and a team of soldiers rushed in and led the war horses away one by one.
Faced with countless crossbow arrows, the soldiers of the Royal Guard Battalion did not dare to resist.
When all the war horses were taken away, only a thousand soldiers were left squatting on the ground.
"Everyone, take off your armor!"
Someone in the encirclement shouted again.
They have surrendered their weapons, so what’s the big deal about taking off their armor?
The leader waved his hand and took the lead in taking off the armor.
A thousand unarmed soldiers were driven to a corner of the open field, which was surrounded by ropes.
The leader of the Royal Guard raised his hand and shouted, "I'd like to see the Deputy Commander, or the Royal Guard Commander Zhao Gui, is that okay?"
Although he shouted as hard as he could, no one paid any attention to him.
At this time, the commander of the Royal Guard Battalion, Zhao Gui, had been tied up and taken to a room.
There was a table at the front of the room, and Cheng Liang was sitting behind the table.
Fortunately, a stool was placed opposite the table for Zhao Gui to sit down and talk.
Four burly men stood around Zhao Gui, staring at him with murderous eyes.
In the corner, there is a clerk, bent over the desk with a pen, waiting to record.
Zhao Gui discovered that this was the posture of a serious interrogation of a prisoner.
He sneered in his heart, let you guys be arrogant for now, and when I get out, I'll show you how I'll deal with you.
Cheng Liang looked at Zhao Gui's calm face and knew that he was not afraid.
"Zhao Gui, do you know why you were brought here?"
"do not know."
"Alright, then I'm officially informing you now that you've arbitrarily recruited soldiers into the Imperial Guard, which has impacted the safety of the Emperor and the safety of the Imperial City. We must investigate your motives in recruiting soldiers of unknown origin."
Zhao Gui licked his lips and said, "The recruitment of Meng Tuo into the Royal Guard Battalion has gone through the normal review procedures. There is no question of private recruitment."
"Then did you know that Meng Tuo was a soldier who withdrew from the 11th Battalion of the Imperial Guard?"
"I know. He withdrew voluntarily because the assessment of your 11th Battalion was too harsh."
"Let's not even talk about whether he voluntarily withdrew. At the time, the deputy commander announced that any soldier who left the camp would be permanently expelled from the army. Anyone who dared to appear in the camp again would be considered a spy."
Zhao Gui shook his head: "I don't know about that."
"How dare you recruit someone without knowing anything?"
"Three generations of Meng Tuo have lived in Kyoto. There is no problem with their background..."
"Then can you guarantee that he will be alright?"
"I guarantee it."
"But he's already got problems."
Zhao Gui was speechless. You say there is something wrong with him, what can I do?
"Therefore, we must be responsible for the safety of the emperor, the court, and the safety of the imperial city."
"Hehe, it seems like this is all my responsibility."
"You have problems now and are no longer able to shoulder this responsibility."
Zhao Gui twisted his body.
"Can you please untie me? I can't run away, and I won't run away."
Cheng Liang shook his head: "Only after you explain all the problems clearly can you be treated accordingly."
"You are just suspicious, but you have no evidence to prove my wrongdoing. I am not a criminal."
"We have evidence."
"Where's the evidence?"
"Meng Tuo is a spy. You recruited a spy into the Emperor's personal guard camp without authorization."
Zhao Gui was furious: "Why do you say Meng Tuo is a spy?"
"We've already explained the reason. Why are you so excited?"
"I'm not excited. How can you say he's a spy? Is there any evidence to prove he's a spy?"
Zhao Gui could no longer remain calm and started shouting loudly.
Cheng Liang smiled and said, "Calm down for a moment. You will see the evidence later."
Zhao Gui continued to shout: "Bullshit, you can always find a pretext to accuse me. You are trying to frame me. Let me tell you, the emperor won't be fooled so easily. Let Lin Feng come out and talk to me..."
Seeing that he was becoming uncontrollably excited, Cheng Liang signaled to the big men on both sides.
Two big men came forward and tied Zhao Gui's mouth with a cloth belt to prevent him from shouting.
Zhao Gui felt extremely humiliated. Not only was he tied up like a dumpling, but his mouth was also gagged.
The veins on his forehead bulged, and he struggled to break free from the big man's hand and jumped up from the stool.
Seeing this, Cheng Liang waved his hand.
Four big men stepped forward, pinned Zhao Gui down, kicked the stool away, and pinned him to the ground.
Zhao Gui, whose hands were tied, was no match for the four big men despite his great martial arts skills. He was pinned to the ground and unable to move.
Zhao Shuo hid at the door and looked inside through the gap in the wooden door.
Seeing this situation, my heart started beating rapidly.
This is going to make things worse. Zhao Gui can't afford to suffer this loss. The hatred is deep enough.
How can this be salvaged?
Brother, are you trying to kill me?
Zhao Shuo was annoyed with his cousin from the bottom of his heart. He had always been looking down on him since he was a child and never treated him seriously.
But after all, he is his cousin, the emperor's nephew, and his father is the Prince of Lu.
Zhao Shuo was very confused and didn't know how to deal with the current problem.
When King Rui received the news, Zhao Gui and his 1,000 cavalrymen from the Royal Guard had disappeared for three days.
According to normal procedures, Zhao Gui would go to Prince Rui's Mansion every day to report on the day's city defense work.
There were times when he didn't come for two days, but he never missed seeing King Rui for more than three days.
After investigation, King Rui was surprised to find that Zhao Gui's last disappearance was right at the gate of Kancheng.
