The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 519

[Chapter 519: I’ve met the Inspector!]

The old woman stood there and did not get out of the way. Instead, she accepted the courtesy. When he stood up, she said: “Xin Amber is so polite.”

Fang Xiu looked at her and opened his mouth, wanting to ask something.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves came again not far away.

Immediately afterwards, there was a familiar shout: “Master, Xiaochun is here!”

Fang Xiu turned around subconsciously. When he turned around again, the old woman had disappeared, and only Zhao Yan was left standing in the same place. Somewhat confused.

It has to be said that quasi-grandmaster level warriors have transcended the scope of normal humans.

Just say that the moment she left, future sprint, high jump or triathlon champions may not be able to do it.

But she was so relaxed for such an old woman.

“Master, are you okay?”

In just a moment, Bai Xiaochun arrived here with more than a dozen military guards.

Fang Xiu glanced at him and said calmly: “It’s okay.”

He turned to Capt. Shen and the commander of the city defense and ordered: “Take them away.”

Bai Xiaochun heard this and subconsciously looked at the captors. .

Only then did he realize that there were so many people here, and they were all holding weapons.

“Yes, Master!”

After receiving the order, Bai Xiaochun dismounted from his horse and immediately led his own army guards to tie up the prisoners.

After working for a while, Fang Xiu suddenly remembered something, stretched out his hand to call Bai Xiaochun over, and gave some instructions in his ear.

Bai Xiaochun nodded as he listened to the instructions, and finally said, “I will make sure they are well settled!” ’

Then he got on his horse, took two or three personal guards, and rushed towards the direction of the mine.

Fang Xiu rode on the horses of the city guard commander and his soldiers, and led these guys back to Dumingfu City.

In just a moment of burning incense, the gate of Fucheng appeared in sight.

Fang Xiu, Zhao Yan and the pro-army guards were all riding horses.

But the commander of the city defense, Chief Shen and the policemen could only run behind the horses, and this was with their hands tied.

Therefore, by the time Fang Xiu’s horse stopped not far from the city gate, these guys were already out of breath from exhaustion.

At the same time, there was some turmoil at the location of the city gate.

Obviously, it was the first time for these soldiers guarding the city to see such a scene.

In just a moment, they discovered that most of the people who were tied up and running behind the horses were known to them, and even the person at the front was their leader!

At

this

Even the commander-in-chief was captured by these knights who came out of nowhere. Could it be that these guys are rebels from the southwest?

Soon, under the summons of the deputy commander, these city defenders took up weapons and formed a formation in front of the city gate, trying to resist Fang Xiu and the others.

“Who are you here? This is Du Ming Mansion City, and we won’t tolerate you being so presumptuous!”

The person shouting was a guy who looked fat and strong.

Generally speaking, words like fat and strong are used for livestock such as pigs.

However, after seeing the person shouting, this was Fang Xiu’s first image.

In fact, in this era, except for relatively strong men like Liang Hu, most of the commanders and generals had this powerful image.

Unlike in some TV series and movies, the generals are all well-proportioned.

The reason is very simple. When military generals are marching to fight, they may have to march dozens of kilometers to fight with the enemy. This requires a lot of physical strength.

The source of these physical strength is body fat.

Of course, these people look a little fat, but in fact they are more appropriately described as strong!

Obviously, the guy in front of him should be the deputy commander of the soldiers guarding Du Mingfu City.

Fang Xiu watched these soldiers go from being chaotic at the beginning to being orderly now, with a very indifferent expression on his face.

It wasn’t until this guy finished shouting that he gave a faint instruction.

Immediately, a pro-military guard came forward and shouted loudly: “Zhongyuan Road’s Inspector-General Fang Xiu is here!”

Zhongyuan Road’s Inspector?

When they heard this term, the soldiers guarding the city were a little confused.

What is the position of an inspector?

Why haven’t I heard of it before?

I only know that our Central Plains Dao has Jiedu envoys, who are the direct superiors of the prefects and commanders.

But what is this inspector?

It’s not surprising that these soldiers haven’t heard of the inspector.

Since the post of Inspector General became a vacant position, the imperial court has not used this position for several years.

Even in the center of the imperial court, apart from the people in the official department, not many people in the other five departments knew about it.

Even so, the deputy commander’s face showed a look of surprise.

Obviously, given his rank, the previous magistrate of Du Ming Mansion must have informed him.

It’s just

that even the inspectors sent by the imperial court, why do they tie their commanders and colleagues together?

The deputy commander thought of this, took a step forward, and said loudly: “Do you have proof!?”

As soon as he finished speaking, a horseman rushed in front of the deputy commander, got off his horse, and handed him an imperial edict.

The deputy commander had not seen the imperial edict and thought it was just an ordinary voucher. After opening it, he saw the five-clawed golden dragon on it. Then he realized it later and hurriedly knelt down and said: “I have seen you, Lord Inspector!”

These people in front of them only have a dozen riders in total. If they want to attack the city, it would be too unrealistic.

Moreover, forging imperial edicts was a major crime against the Nine Clans.

Therefore, as long as these people want to enter the city, it means that the young man riding the horse at the front is the newly appointed Central Plains Road Inspector – Xin’an Bo Fangxiu!

The soldiers at the back were originally facing a formidable enemy, but at this moment they saw their deputy commander kneeling down.

So, they all knelt down after him and shouted: “I have seen the Inspector!”

If it had been seen in the past, Fang Xiu would have felt a sense of accomplishment when he saw this scene.

However, after seeing the refugees and beggars working day and night in the mines, and seeing the shameless, bully, and disrespectful leader Shen, Fang Xiu no longer felt this way.

He just glanced at the soldiers kneeling in front of him, then looked away, as if he hadn’t seen anything, and rode his horse slowly towards the city gate.

Behind him, a dozen pro-military guards naturally followed closely.

Zhao Yan, who had always been lively and active, remained silent for no reason at this moment, and followed the team slowly forward.

The group of people slowly entered the city in this solemn atmosphere
