Just as he entered the entrance, he saw the head of the Imperial Guard, Pei Yuanhao, from Dazhu State. He was standing in the yard, looking at him with a face full of ridicule. Tell me, where do you want me to put my old face? If you didn't come, then why are you here now? "Could it be that he's not afraid of death anymore?"

Zhang Zhou quickly bowed and smiled bitterly: "Dazhu Country! Great General! You are my ancestor, okay? "

"Don't, you are the Marquis! This old man cannot afford it! "

"I am a mere Marquis of the Nine Prefectures, what can I possibly be in the eyes of you, your great general?" You are the genuine old man, can I admit my wrongs? Ten jars of He Zhou Lie! "

"How dare you bribe me in broad daylight?"

"Fine, fine, fine, a hundred pots!"

"Hahaha, a hundred pots a year!"

"Dazhu, can you drink?"

"You're too old, of course one person can't drink it. But, isn't a hundred pots of wine isn't enough for a guest and a favor?"

"Alright then, deal!"

Zhang Zhou was a man who dealt with matters and would definitely divide his men. The feeling that the Dazhu Kingdom gave him was that of someone who could joke around, even though no one in the Imperial Guard thought that way! Zhang Zhou thought to himself, thanks to the fact that he had asked Huo Xiaoyun about this, he knew that the Dazhu Kingdom liked He Zhou very much! Otherwise, this trial would not be easy to pass!

Pei Yuan Zhao took advantage of the situation and dismissed Zhang Zhou, who immediately went to pay his respects to his immediate subordinate, Shangguan, the Wind Knight General Yan Ping. Before he could enter the room to pay his respects, he heard the thin general behind the desk say, "My 100 pots of He Zhou Lie also cannot be lacking!"

Zhang Zhou exclaimed, "Ah! "General, I heard that you don't drink!"

Yan Ping, who was in his fifties, smiled and said, "I don't drink it, but Dazhu will?"

It seemed that Dazhu had passed his charisma down to the Imperial Guards. "Well, you won, but I'm glad that this Shangguan is not difficult to get along with!

Yan Ping personally led Zhang Zhou into the Forbidden Army's "Five" Barracks. Ten Brigades of the Imperial Guard: A, B, C, D, V, I, Geng, Xin, Nun, Gui! The duty of the Imperial Guards was to protect the capital, to ride the troll army. They might even have the chance to leave the capital, and the infantry would never leave the capital! He was responsible for the defense of the capital and the security and safety of the entire capital! It could be said that it was an easy task!

Because the Dazhu Kingdom placed great importance on training, the Imperial Guards were not that much of a waste. However, compared to the border army, they were really old soldiers! It was normal for some of the thugs to be dependent on him.

"If you want to establish a foothold in the Imperial Guard, you can't do so just by relying on your background. Some bastards, if you don't clean up properly, you'll go to heaven!"

Yan Ping left behind these words before he left! Give Zhang Zhou to the two field officers that came out to welcome them! Entering the empty barracks, Zhang Zhou looked around while chatting with the two field officers.

"May I know how to address you two?"

Subordinate Li Zhan, this Fan Yun, we are deputy military officers of the brigade!" A man with a medium build and a round face said. One could tell that the burly guy with the big beard, Fan Yun, was not good with words. Except for a bow to himself, he had never said a single word.

"Why is the barracks empty today?"

"Reporting to the general, it is the day of rest for our trip home, so we will do this. According to the rules, we will report back tonight!"

"What are our duties? "And how do you do your work and rest?"

"Our brigade is in charge of patrolling the front gate …"

Li Zhan slowly explained, while Zhang Zhou listened attentively. After all, it was impossible to guard the capital city from many matters!

At this time, a clamor emanated out from one of the barracks. Li Zhan hurriedly explained, "Some of the brothers have nowhere to go during their vacation, so we'll stay in the barracks. There's nothing to do anyway, so let's have some fun!"

Zhang Zhou recognized the voice as "Landlord" and found it funny. Shardball's poker business was pretty good! He didn't want to care about anything else. So far, he had never been able to sit in a warm position, even though he said that it was like a goose leaving its nest, but he didn't know how long he could stay there. Besides, it was to rest, so it didn't matter.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhou decided to go back! Just pretend you can't see.

At this moment, an ear-piercing voice floated out.

"Don't worry!" Who cares who it is, this brigade still needs to have the surname Kong! "

"Of course, of course. If you want to follow Brother Kong, you must be right!"

Zhang Zhou stopped and turned around.

Li Zhan had an embarrassed look on his face as he said, "The previous commander-in-chief was General Kong Wenwu!"

"Oh, the person speaking is …"

"It's General Kong's nephew Kong …"

Zhang Zhou stopped him, and laughed: "It doesn't matter what you call me! As long as you know who it is! "

Zhang Zhou did not want to stir up trouble, nor did he want to be high-profile. He had such a big family business to manage, how could he have the energy to play around with these people, but that did not mean he had no temper! A common soldier should not be a common soldier. Zhang Zhou didn't care, but if he wanted to be a master under his hands, then he would have to apologize. No matter how weak Zhang Zhou was, he had transmigrated here.

If one were to say that one did not have any background in the capital, there were also those! However, there were two extremes. One was an extremely powerful existence, such as Prime Minister Yuan Shang! Without any nepotism or support from the family, he was the first amongst the civil officials! This was something even the Dazhu countries would be ashamed of. It was true that Pei Yuanzhao had become an orphan at a young age. His progress in the army had been extremely fast, but he had grown up thanks to the support of his father-in-law. He was a rather reputable second rank general! Yuan Shang's body had never been afflicted by a disease like this before. As a helper, Lu Daiwen had very few opportunities to interject in the imperial court. At that time, Yuan Shang could be said to be truly powerful! The other was that it was a low-key, tolerant, marginalized existence that would not cause trouble and would allow themselves to live as long as they wanted.

Anyone who dared to come out and make a ruckus must have some background. This kind of person would often be mentioned in one sentence! Therefore, when Zhang Zhou returned, he used the strength of "Shadow" to thoroughly investigate this pair of uncle and nephew surnamed Kong!

Due to the protection of the intelligence agents, Zhang Zhou rarely used the 'shadow', so these people rarely had a chance to show off. Today, Zhang Zhou also wanted to check on the 'shadow' '' s development and ability level. Under this order, all sides reacted positively. That night, two pieces of information appeared on Zhang Zhou's table. They were from Old Yellow and Li Yin.

On the surface, Zhang Zhou barely interacted with Li Yin. He was also doing it for the sake of protection, just in case. Their way of contacting each other was also extremely secretive. The current Li Yin could be said to have made a name for himself in the capital's popinjay world. He even teamed up with a few hedonistic sons and started a restaurant in an impressive manner. He had the most shares and became a big boss. But he still chose to work for Zhang Zhou. He was not stupid. The speed of development of the Nine Regions' business and Zhang Zhou's various performances had made him feel that he would have a good future following Zhang Zhou in the future.

Li Yin did not introduce them to each other, because this Kong kid, a little trash that even he did not want to talk to, was not even on the level of a top-notch popinjay in the capital. Li Yin did not know much about Kong Wenwu.

The information Old Yellow sent over was much more detailed. What interested Zhang Zhou the most was that Kong Wenwu had an extremely secret background; he was the nephew of the Minister of Rites, Hu Xianwen. Hu Xianwen's family background was average, but his sister had married into the Wealthy Class. With the help of his brother-in-law's family, Hu Xianwen was able to make his way through the entire family. In order to repay his sister, he used all sorts of methods to promote Kong Wenwu, his nephew who had no skills! However, this relationship was hidden, and if it wasn't an extremely fortuitous opportunity, the "shadow" wouldn't have found out about this. On top of that, Kong Wenwu had always followed the steps of King Jing. Those who didn't know the inside story mistakenly believed that Kong Wenwu was relying on the promotion of King Jing to reach his current position!

Zhang Zhou could not help but sneer in his heart when he thought of Hu Xianwen's righteous attitude and righteous words. As for King Jing, although Zhang Zhou didn't have a bad feeling about this, he wasn't a person who was tied to a chain of benefits. Thus, to Zhang Zhou, there wasn't any entanglement or pressure on the issue of "whether or not to fight!"

After Zhang Zhou finished reading the information, his smile became even wider! He made a trip to the Ping Wang Manor that very night.

The next day, the living quarters were bustling with noise and excitement. Almost everyone returned to the living quarters on time because they wanted to meet the new commander-in-chief. After the order was given, after a short period of confusion, the two thousand soldiers formed a formation on the drill grounds. It could be seen that their training was quite good. After all, it was related to the nation's physique and was considered neat and tidy in terms of appearance. However, it was definitely not as neat and tidy as in the movies and TV dramas from his previous life.

Zhang Zhou, dressed in his newly issued strong army field officer armor and carrying a saber, walked step by step onto the viewing platform very properly! He then looked at the five teams below him. I, Zhang Zhou, am the new brigade field officer of our brigade! From today onwards, we will all be brothers who will eat in the same pot. I hope that everyone will give me your support in the future! We'll work together and do the job together! "

Then, he paced back and forth a few steps and continued, "This field officer has just arrived, there are many things he doesn't understand! So! Before I came here, I also did some research and found out that there are quite a few outstanding characters in our Blitz Brigade! It was a pity that he was in a hurry to take office. He couldn't pay a visit to each of them in advance! "In order to do a good job in the future, I want to promote these people as my personal army!

There was a flurry of discussion below! Zhang Zhou did not stop them from discussing, and took out a piece of paper with a name list on it, and waited for the audience to return to silence, and then continued: "Those who are called below, please come out! "Chen Chao, Zhang Jia, Fu Guangshen …"

He had read more than ten names! The names of those who were called came out and onto the stage. These people were people that Zhang Zhou had heard about. They had some prestige, abilities, but did not have any background.

Naturally, everyone was happy to be acknowledged and valued by the new chief official! Zhang Zhou also did not hide his feelings of closeness to them! Each of them even brought a mighty and beautiful saber. Naturally, it was not a steel knife, but it was also a superior saber that the ordinary Imperial Guards would not easily be able to obtain! This caused the imperial guards to be envious! At this moment, a voice from below the stage shouted, "Honorable Brigadier, my big brother is the one who is of prestige in the brigade!"

"That's right! In front of my big brother, who do you think those guys on the stage are? "

More than a dozen people joined in the shouting! The Imperial Guards on the stage looked somewhat embarrassed, but they did not say anything!

Zhang Zhou pretended to be surprised as he turned around to look at the audience.

"Oh, who is this person you're talking about?"

They saw a tall young man with a complacent and arrogant expression being invited from the group by a dozen or so people, as if the stars were supporting the moon.

"Master, don't misunderstand, it was my little brothers who were messing around!" I, Kong Jie, am not interested in personal guards! "

"Oh, Kong Jie! I've heard of it. I've heard of it.

After finishing his words, Zhang Zhou's face suddenly turned cold.

"How dare you, Kong Jie, change the name of the Great Tang Emperor's Imperial Guard!" Someone, take him down! "

Kong Jie was still confused when Erniu, who was already well-prepared, rushed over and smacked his face to the ground. Yang Xiaolang and a few other people followed behind him. They swiftly took out a rope and tied up the dizzy Kong Jie! His mouth was gagged.

Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that this was all prepared long ago! Li Zhan and Fan Yun knew that Zhang Zhou might try to make things difficult for him. After all, this brat was usually so arrogant that he would make others hate him. One had to know that the crime that Zhang Zhou was shouting could not be small! If you don't take it seriously, then it's like a fart. If you take it seriously, then that's a conspiracy! This Zhang Zhou was really too ruthless!

How could they know Zhang Zhou's character? Since he had already made his move, he would do his best to not leave any chance for his opponents to counterattack! He then saw Zhang Zhou point to the team that Kong Jie had just walked out of!

"Capture all of Kong Jie's accomplices!"

No one dared to resist! Some of them tried to pretend that they were unrelated people, but they were pushed out by someone they resented for a long time! Soon, he knelt down in front of the stage.

"I think you are all loyal people who will not betray Kong Jie, but I have something to tell you. Kong Jie's crime is extremely heinous! If you choose to die with him, I will respect you. If you don't want to die, then let's see your performance! "I estimate that after another incense stick of time, they will come here to capture me. By then, I won't have the ability to protect you all anymore!"

How could they be loyal to their dog meat friends? They also had no idea how big of a crime Kong Jie had committed! After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they would come to capture him! This was clear evidence! He was accompanying him to die? Forget it!

"Reporting to the lord, Kong Jie has taken over Shopkeeper Sun's daughter!" and even forcing the citizens to borrow usury! "

"Kong Jie once said behind his back that the princess had married into the Western Tribes to sell off her daughter for glory …"

"Reporting to the lord, Kong Jie once helped his uncle to falsify his expenditure and swindle the imperial court of its salary!"

Zhang Zhou showed great interest in the report, and pointed at the boy, interjecting, "This little brother's report is very good, don't kneel, get up! "Go to the side and rest!"

Receiving hints and encouragement, these people started reporting on Kong Jie and Kong Wenwu! What was there to be afraid of? If one knew, they would exaggerate the facts. If one did not expect it, they would make it up. Kong Jie struggled at the beginning, but the more he listened, the more frightened he became.
