Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

"do not fight?"

Seeing that the captains had stopped fighting, Lin Ping shook his head and said, "That won't do. You are mortal enemies. We must not only fight you, but fight you to the death!"

The group began to have doubts, even exchanging bewildered glances. They did not believe that Lin Ping was an unknown soldier; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to enter the military camp.

"Keep fighting! If you're men, fight for real! Are you just tickling each other?"

As Lin Ping spoke, he provided them with weapons.

Seeing the curved sword lying on the ground, the captains chickened out. They were just acting and didn't want to hurt the other side. If they picked up the curved sword, it would be hard to control it.

At the same time, hundreds of soldiers who were locked in combat also stopped fighting, fearing that Lin Ping would also provide them with weapons.

"You brat, who are you? How dare you meddle in military affairs?"

One of them asked sternly, naturally wanting to probe Lin Ping's background.

"You're wronging me. I wouldn't dare stop those captains from fighting."

Lin Ping spread his hands innocently and said.

The two captains, who were itching to kill each other, suddenly exchanged a glance and shouted, "We don't want to fight anymore!"

"Oh? You're not going to fight anymore?"

Lin Ping's face suddenly turned cold: "That won't do. How will I know who will live if we don't decide who survives?"

"You brat, you're asking for it!"

The fiercest captain angrily picked up the curved sword from the ground and slashed at Lin Ping.

Even though they knew Lin Ping's identity was extraordinary, they were not afraid, since Jiang Xiuwen couldn't do anything to them.

Unfortunately, this person's martial arts skills were not on the same level as Jiang Yunying's at all. The curved knife in his hand fell from his hand without warning, and a cold longsword was pressed against his throat.

"Your Highness!"

Upon seeing Jiang Yunying, the man knelt down with a thud, naturally recognizing her identity.

"Let me ask you, what is the crime of deliberately disrupting military discipline? What is the crime of assassinating a nobleman?"

Lin Ping walked up to the man and asked in a cold tone.

The man lowered his head and remained silent, even letting out a cold snort. He figured Jiang Yunying wouldn't dare to do anything to him, after all, the thousand brothers behind him were of one mind with him.

"You won't talk, huh? Very well! Then I'll answer for you: it's a capital offense!"

Lin Ping's voice was harsh and his face was contorted with rage!

Upon hearing this, the man was not angry but amused, and shouted, "The affairs of our Guard Commandery are none of the City Lord's business!"

Jiang Yunying secretly gave Lin Ping a wink, clearly signaling him not to act rashly. The garrison and the private army were not part of the same system. If Lin Ping killed this person, he would likely be sued, and the entire city lord's mansion would be implicated.

"Really?"

Lin Ping said this in a sarcastic tone, then glanced around the military camp and suddenly spotted a squad leader whose eyes were shining.

This man was burly, with sharp eyes and an air of self-importance; he was clearly not satisfied with his position as leader.

Lin Ping walked up to the man and respectfully asked, "May I ask how this general is addressed?"

Although this person was a foreman, it was clear that Lin Ping was of noble status. He was surprised that the other party spoke to him so respectfully, and hurriedly replied, "My name is Ma Lou, and I am a foreman!"

"Good for you, Brother Ma! You're a tough guy!" Lin Ping nodded in satisfaction, then said sarcastically, "Tsk tsk tsk... It's a real shame that Brother Ma's martial arts skills are only good enough to be a squad leader. Today, I'll stand up for you on behalf of my uncle. If you punish this man according to military law, he'll be a captain from now on!"

This is a case of using someone else to do the dirty work...

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and even Jiang Xiuwen felt that Lin Ping's move was too insidious.

Ma Lou glared angrily at the kneeling captain, gripped the hilt of his sword, and shouted, "I'll go and chop him down right now!"

As the bandits approached step by step, the captain panicked. He had always been at odds with the bandits and had even deliberately suppressed them; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to stay in the position of gang leader for nearly ten years.

Therefore, with grievances in his heart, how could Ma Lou let go of such a perfect opportunity?

"You dare..." The man kneeling on the ground was terrified, but before he could finish speaking, his head had already fallen to the ground.

Ma Lou's eyes were bloodshot, and he kept muttering to himself, as if he had a great grudge that had been avenged.

Jiang Xiuwen stood there dumbfounded. He never imagined that the captain who gave him the most trouble would be so easily killed by Lin Ping.

In fact, this is not difficult at all. Lin Ping is just good at analyzing people's minds. Most of these officials sent by the imperial court are not united and are secretly scheming against each other. As long as you grasp their internal contradictions, you can easily deal with them.

After this captain was killed, another captain panicked and hastily retreated behind the two thousand soldiers, shouting loudly, "Brothers, the city lord's mansion is interfering in the internal affairs of the garrison! Kill them!"

The two captains who fought the fiercest earlier had actually received a lot of benefits from the prefect, so they were in the same boat and were quite united. They could even mobilize a thousand soldiers under the other's command.

Now that disaster is imminent, he has no choice but to rebel.

This has a fairly high chance of success. The other three captains are all fence-sitters, in a wait-and-see state, and will not easily help one side. Therefore, Jiang Yunying and the others will have to face the strangulation of two thousand guards.

"You think you can fight against the City Lord's Mansion?" Lin Ping said contemptuously, and immediately summoned the two thousand private soldiers.

Now, this is not just a simple army of two thousand men; with an additional five thousand fine horses, it's comparable to a force of seven thousand, and under the cover of darkness, it can easily be mistaken for a real one.

The two thousand guards panicked immediately. They were just ordinary infantrymen, while the enemy was an elite cavalry force of seven thousand men.

Those who lay down their weapons will be pardoned!

Lin Ping shouted loudly, causing the two thousand private soldiers to move closer, instantly creating a sense of oppressive death.

These two thousand men were not the captains' private army; they were paid by the imperial court and naturally would not risk their lives for the two captains, dropping their weapons one after another.

The captain panicked and fled frantically, not wanting to be punished by military law. He hoped that if he could escape into the government office, he would have a chance to live.

This time, before Lin Ping could speak, a burly man stepped forward, beheaded the captain with a single stroke, and shouted, "I want to be a captain too!"

Lin Ping nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Jiang Xiuwen and said, "Uncle, aren't you going to reward these two newly promoted captains?"

Jiang Xiuwen looked at Lin Ping with a complicated expression. He knew that these two were qualified to become captains and were absolutely loyal to him.

In other words, Lin Ping quietly solved a major problem for himself. As long as those two captains were dead, the other three captains would not dare to cause trouble. From then on, the entire Guard Commandery was under his control.

Jiang Xiuwen wasn't stupid, and immediately said some words of reward.

The three captains who had helped cause trouble were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and shouted in unison, "Commander, you are wise and mighty!"

Jiang Xiuwen closed his eyes slightly, fully enjoying the feeling of being respected, his heart filled with the joy of a child.
