Being an emperor is not something he can do, so he can only rely on his connections.

Yang He laughed heartily and said loudly, "Since the prince has spoken, I will not pursue this matter any further. Little kid, this spear is yours! Regardless of whether the insights you just said are true or false, I admire your courage!"

Huangfu Changshui on the side hurriedly said: "Jingwei, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and thank the prince!" However, Zhang Jingwei just snorted coldly, bent down to pick up the box on the ground without any gratitude, and turned around and left without even looking back.

Seeing this, Huangfu Changshui couldn't help but feel angry and anxious. He quickly bowed to the prince and said with an apologetic smile: "Alas, this child really doesn't know the rules and has no respect for elders. Please don't blame the commander-in-chief and the prince."

After going out, Zhang Jingwei carried the box and went straight to Gao Fei's house.

As they were about to reach the northern part of the city, Wang Ergou suddenly called out to him. "Master, Master, there are people following us. It's Yang He and a few guards!"

Zhang Jingwei frowned and shouted nonchalantly, "Who cares! Let them follow if they want. I really don't believe this. How dare he kill people in broad daylight in Yunzhou City?"

Wang Ergou, standing nearby, had a worried look on his face. He quickly said, "Master, that's true, but I'm worried that if things continue like this, sooner or later, Lord Gao Fei's whereabouts will be exposed. As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge an open spear, but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark! We'd better be careful."

After hearing this, Zhang Jingwei thought for a moment and felt that it made sense, so he made a quick decision: "Yes, that makes sense. Then we should change our route immediately and head to the garrison camp to avoid the limelight!"

......

At this moment, a guard wearing a tiger mask walking beside Yang He couldn't help but sigh, "This son-in-law of the Northern Marquis is truly extraordinary! We've only just left the city a few miles, and there are already so many pairs of eyes secretly watching us!"

The female guard wearing a snake-head mask snorted coldly upon hearing this, and said viciously, "Hmph! If I weren't afraid of causing unnecessary trouble in the city, I would have dug out those guys' eyes! Let's see if they dare to stare at people again!"

Yang He, who had been silent the entire time, slowly spoke up. "Don't worry about these insignificant people. As for the cavalry captain of the Yunzhou Garrison, I could have summoned him directly. But the purpose of this trip is to recruit talented people. If we're too forceful, it would seem insincere."

Hearing this, another guard wearing a rat-head mask asked in confusion, "Master, please forgive my ignorance, but I simply cannot understand why you would be so concerned about such a petty thief."

Zhou Peng, who had been observing the situation, took over and explained, "From what I know, this person is very likely the legendary God of War. General Bao suffered a loss before..."

Whenever Yang He thought of Bao Jing, a man who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun, he would feel an uncontrollable rage surge in his heart. His face instantly turned ashen, and veins popped on his forehead. Then, he turned around and shouted at Zhou Peng, "Don't mention that idiot in front of me! Do you want to follow in his footsteps and be sent to clean the stables?!"

Zhou Peng was so frightened by this sudden scolding that he trembled all over and quickly lowered his head, not daring to say another word. For a moment, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence, with only Yang He's heavy breathing echoing in the air.

At this moment, the rat-headed guard cautiously stepped forward and said, "Master, I just saw them heading towards the garrison camp."

After hearing this, Yang He frowned and said after thinking for a moment: "Hmph, it must be those guys hiding in the dark who leaked the information again! Come on, let's follow them quietly and see what they are up to!" After saying that, Yang He waved his hand and led everyone to rush towards the garrison camp.

……

Arriving at the garrison camp, Zhang Jingwei saluted the guard and said, "Hey, young man, I'm looking for Captain Gao. Please pass on the message!" After that, he took out a hundred coins and stuffed it into the guard's hand.

The guard said with a fawning smile, "Oh, Master Zhang, you're so polite! Captain Gao is training the soldiers in the parade grounds right now. I'll personally take you there!"

Zhang Jingwei smiled and bowed, "Then I'll have to trouble you, brother. Thank you so much!"

The guard turned around and shouted to another guard standing by the watchtower, "Brother, please help look after the camp gate. I'll take Young Master Zhang in first!" After that, he reached out and pulled off a dozen copper coins from the string of coins hanging around his waist, and then quickly handed them to the guard in the watchtower.

Not long after Zhang Jingwei and the guards left, Yang He and his group arrived at the camp gate. However, the sentry tower guard immediately extended his arm to block their way and shouted, "This is a key area of ​​the military camp. No outsiders are allowed to enter. Please leave immediately!"

Seeing this, Yang He frowned and asked, "Huh, wasn't that rich young man just an idler? Why did you let him in? Is it just because he's rich?"

The sentry tower guard rolled his eyes at Yang He and replied impatiently, "Do you know who he is? Let me tell you, he's General Huangfu's son-in-law. We on duty have to respectfully address him as 'son-in-law'! How can we be so casual like you guys!"

Upon hearing this, Yang He snorted coldly and said, "Oh? I see. But even if your General Huangfu sees me, he has to politely call me 'Commander-in-Chief'!"

The sentry was stunned at first, then burst into laughter, mocking with disdain, "Hahahaha, you dare to call yourself a commander? Stop talking nonsense here, and leave quickly! Don't waste my time!"

Zhou Peng, standing by, was furious at the man's arrogance. He whipped out a gleaming lieutenant general's badge, held it high, and handed it to the guard, sternly shouting, "Open your eyes and take a good look! How dare you be so disrespectful to me? Go call your captain!"

The guard's expression was as ugly as if he had eaten shit. That thing was not fake. It was the waist badge of the lieutenant general. The lieutenant general was the deputy general of the prefecture, above the garrison general! Although Yunzhou had not appointed a general or lieutenant general since its restoration, the lieutenant generals of other prefectures always had to suppress the garrison generals.

The guard cursed in his heart: I am so unlucky that I encounter such bad luck while working for others!

In the dormitory for guard officers, the captain of the Yunzhou Garrison Camp is the highest-ranking officer in the garrison camp, and he lives in the largest yard, which is half the size of the parade ground.

A guard came running over, looking frantic and shouting, "Captain! The commander-in-chief is looking for you!"

Wang Caiwu, who was fast asleep on a recliner in the courtyard, suddenly looked up and asked in astonishment, "What? The commander-in-chief is here? Where are they now? The parade ground?"

The guard lowered his head and replied timidly, "No...no, Captain, I...I stopped them."

When Wang Caiwu heard this, he was immediately furious. He widened his eyes and roared angrily: "Oh my, you idiot! You are more likely to cause trouble than to help! How dare you stop the commander-in-chief without authorization? Wait and see how I will deal with you! I will make you taste the power of a military stick!" After that, he walked towards the camp gate angrily.
