Warlords: I just made a little fortune, but I didn’t build a country.

Kyoto, the ancient capital that claims to be a thousand years old, is now crowded with people and cars on the streets. There are vendors soliciting customers and rickshaw drivers working hard to pull customers so that they can buy a rickshaw of their own one day.

From the City Guard Commander's Mansion, there were shouts that were filled with pain and helplessness, and mixed with excited laughter.

"Hahaha, there's no point in yelling even if your throat hurts."

In a side room of the mansion, a middle-aged man was sitting on the bed with a young woman under his crotch, who was screaming wildly. But the more she screamed, the more excited the middle-aged man became.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the door of the wing of the headquarters of the Kyoto City Guard, a third-rank minister of the imperial court, was kicked open, and a young man in a colonel's uniform and holding a Mauser 10 pistol rushed in with several soldiers. When he saw the scene inside, he became furious and shot directly.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sound of gunfire was accompanied by the woman's shouting. Five consecutive shots directly killed the middle-aged man. Until his death, the middle-aged man had no idea what was going on, nor did he expect that someone would dare to lead troops to break into the Kyoto City Guard Command Headquarters.

"Amei!"

The young man who fired the gun hurriedly untied the ropes that bound the girl on the bed. When the girl saw the young colonel, she burst into tears, and her cries were filled with despair.

Outside the mansion, a young man shook his head and said, "It's still too late."

"Don't think too much," an old man in cloth said to the young man, "At least we saved this woman and didn't let her die at the hands of Qian Boshan."

"Okay, our mission is accomplished."

The old man said, "Qian Boshan abducted a woman, but he didn't expect that she was the fiancée of an infantry commander of the 12th Division of the New Army. Now he is suffering the consequences, and he deserves it!"

After saying that, the two disappeared into the street.

The fact that the City Guards' headquarters was disarmed and surrounded by a group of new army soldiers also attracted a lot of attention. In less than half a quarter of an hour, the deputy commander of the City Guards quickly mobilized a division of troops to the headquarters, but at this time the entire headquarters was deserted with only a corpse.

"check!"

"Check it for me!"

"Deputy Commander, there's no need to check," a major general division commander pointed to the hall and said, "Look, the murderer is Zhao Changhe."

"Zhao Changhe, why does it sound so familiar?"

"The commander of the 12st Infantry Regiment under the 121th Division of the New Army made great contributions in suppressing bandits three days ago. He was awarded the Warrior Medal by the Queen Mother and the Emperor. The Emperor also personally awarded him a purple belt. We can't afford to offend him!"

"fart!"

The deputy commander shouted, "Marshal Qian is the half brother of the Minister of the Army. Now he has been killed. You told me that you can't afford to offend him? He is just a small colonel. Gather troops and surround the headquarters of the 12th Infantry Division of the New Army. Make him hand over the man!"

"Order."

The major general division commander revealed an imperceptible smile, and then quickly dispatched troops to encircle and suppress the headquarters of the New Army's 12th Infantry Division.

The whole of Kyoto was in an uproar over this incident. No one knew where the news leaked, but everyone in Kyoto knew that the commander of the city guards had raped a woman in broad daylight in Kyoto and brought her to the commander's mansion for forced sex. It just so happened that the woman's fiancé was a soldier of the New Army who graduated from the Military Academy. In three years, he had worked hard and climbed to the rank of colonel. He was hailed as one of the top ten young commanders of the New Army's 60-strong army, and was favored by Marshal Zeng.

"There is still the law!"

"There are laws!"

When this news came out, the people of Kyoto were shocked, and even felt a little excited.

"It's so lawless!"

A heavy shout came from the Cao Mansion, and as a white-haired old man came into view, he was so angry that he trembled all over and shouted, "Such a thing actually happened under the imperial city. It's really the court's responsibility!"

Thinking about how he personally met the newlyweds a few days ago, he never expected this!

"Commander!"

At this time, a housekeeper came up to Cao Beiwang and shouted, "Something bad has happened. The city guards have mobilized a division of troops to surround the 12th Division, saying that if you don't hand over the people today, they will take military action."

"He dares!"

"Prepare the car and meet the Saint."

Suddenly, the capital was in turmoil. When the Minister of the Army of Daqian learned that his brother had been killed in the City Guard Command Headquarters, he was so angry that he overturned the table and threw the bowl, shouting, "How dare you! You even dare to kill my family members! You are really courting death!"

"Master, I heard that this man is a colonel in the new army. We can't afford to offend this new army!"

"fart!"

Qian Wei slapped the housekeeper in the face and shouted, "I don't care what you do. I want to see the murderer's head in front of me today. Otherwise, you will be buried with my brother!"

"Yes, sir."

After receiving the order, the butler walked out of the inner hall angrily and came to the outer hall, shouting to a guard, "The master said that we must see the murderer's head today, otherwise, you will be buried with him."

As soon as these words were spoken, the 12-strong city defense force began to mobilize and began to encircle and suppress the 12th Infantry Division stationed in the suburbs, forcing the other side to hand over Zhao Changhe.

The New Army had long been angry at the City Guards for taking advantage of the power of others, while the City Guards had also been angry at the New Army for paying them twice as much as theirs. Now, because of this incident, a complete conflict between the two armies of the court had been triggered.

That night, the matter escalated into a bigger and bigger situation, and even the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were alarmed. On that day, two major generals of the New Army were murdered, and dozens of colonels were assassinated overnight. Upon hearing the news, Cao Beiwang was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted on the spot.

Upon learning that Marshal Cao had fainted, the 60-strong New Army was shocked. Many commanders began to report to Kyoto and request to go to the capital to see Marshal Cao. Some commanders even led their troops directly to Kyoto. When the Minister of the Army Qian Wei learned of this, he quickly mobilized the four armies in the capital for defense, and the four local armies also began to assemble.

Things were getting out of control, with millions of troops heading for Kyoto. Naturally, this move attracted attention from all over the place. Many people believed that the killer who murdered the new army officers was most likely the Dragon Guard, a life-saving method left by the late emperor to the empress dowager. As for why they said so, it was because the traces of the Dragon Guard were exposed at the scene of the crime.

In the Northwest Qin Mansion, Qin Lin said to Wu Bei, "Increase the efforts, but don't be extreme. Now we just need to start with small aspects one by one."

"Please rest assured, young commander."

Wu Bei said, "My intelligence agency has a solid foundation in Kyoto, and we have a large number of people in the court, so we can guarantee that nothing will go wrong."

"very good."

Qin Lin said, "I'll leave this matter to you. You must create a conflict between the old army and the new army. Even if you calm them down, you must make them guard against each other and be wary of each other. This way, they won't be able to deal with us!"

"understand!"

Wu Bei gave a wicked smile.
