The banquet continued, and Zhang Yi watched Zheng Qian and Wu Yuxiao sitting alone at a table drinking. He had a bad feeling; something had happened to the Xuanhu Army.

He beckoned to his trusted aide, "Go and find out what the other four deputy commanders are up to."

"He is the commander."

Zhang Yi's confidant left the banquet and headed towards the Xuanhu Army camp, where he encountered Wang Yue on the way.

"Vice Commander Wang..."

Bang.

Wang Yue's battalion commander dropped the brick, saying, "This guy is too weak. He foamed at the mouth in no time. He didn't practice his back-of-the-head skills."

"Stop talking nonsense. Zhang Yi has already become suspicious. Tell Commander Zheng about this." After saying this, Wang Yue walked towards the military camp.

Upon learning that Zhang Yi had become suspicious, Zheng Qian didn't waste any words, left the banquet and went to the military camp to launch his power seizure plan ahead of schedule.

The banquet venue was just one street away from the military camp. By this time, the ordinary soldiers had already returned to the camp, and only some battalion commanders were still drinking with Zhang Yi. They were all Zhang Yi's confidants.

"Deputy Commander Zhang, the Commander wants you to come over. He says there's something to discuss." Zhang Yi didn't receive a message from his confidant, but instead received an order from Li Po.

Zhang Yi had no doubts about the visitor, because this man was Li Po's personal guard and confidant, and he naturally trusted him.

Crossing the street, Zhang Yi followed his guards at a brisk pace, and surprisingly, Wang Yue was also heading this way.

From a distance, Wang Yue called out loudly, "Old Zhang, why is the commander summoning us so urgently? Is something wrong?"

Zhang Yi was startled. Li Po had also called for Wang Yue and the others? Had the commander fallen back into his old ways and ruined someone's wife again, causing trouble?

Despite his internal speculation, Zhang Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

Leaning close to Zhang Yi's ear, Wang Yue whispered, "Old Zhang, when I was on patrol I saw the commander go out, then Ma Teng went home, and afterwards Ma Teng angrily confronted the commander and threw a tantrum. Do you think it's possible..."

Zhang Yi's heart skipped a beat. He recalled the way Li Po looked at Zhou Yingying at the banquet, then asked him to accompany the head of the Zhou family, but Li Po disappeared without a trace. Now, Ma Teng was picking a fight with Li Po. When all this information was put together, Zhang Yi finally came to one conclusion.

Li Po abused Ma Teng's wife, Zhou Yingying.

My head hurts, it really hurts.

bang...

From a distance, Zhang Yi could hear the sound of furniture being smashed, followed by Ma Teng's angry curses.

“I’ve always considered Li Po my closest older brother, but what he did—is that even human? Even an animal wouldn’t do that.”

Zhao Long's voice came from behind: "Ma Teng, calm down. A real man has nothing to worry about when he can't find a wife. Just find another one."

"Bullshit, I'm going to rebel today, and no one can stop me."

Zhang Yi revealed an expression of "I knew it," and Li Po had once again made the mistake that men love to make.

The guards outside the door stopped Zhang Yi and Wang Yue, and said loudly, "The commander has ordered that no one is allowed to bring weapons and armor into the room."

While Zhang Yi was still wondering, Wang Yue had already removed his armor and handed his sword to his personal guards. He said to Zhang Yi, "What are you still standing there for? Remove your armor. The commander is worried that Ma Teng will cause trouble, so he definitely won't let everyone go in wearing armor and swords. Otherwise, if someone loses their temper and hurts someone, it will really escalate."

After Wang Yue finished speaking, he went straight into the tent, ignoring Zhang Yi who was standing still.

Zhang Yi also thought it made sense. The combat power of the group was very strong. Wearing armor and fighting with weapons, they were really a headache. Moreover, Wang Yue had already removed his armor, so he would naturally not disobey Li Po's orders.

When Zhang Yi finished removing his armor and entered the tent, he was instantly stunned.

Inside the tent, Zheng Qian sat in the main seat, with Zhao Long, Li Ying, and Ma Teng standing on either side of him.

It turns out that the commander under Wang Yue's command was not Li Po, but Zheng Qian.

As soon as he entered, Wang Yue stood in the doorway, blocking his escape route. Ma Teng pointed at him and asked, "Zhang Yi, you and Li Po are usually the closest of friends. Did you know that Li Po wanted to ruin my Yingying?"

Zhang Yi's head was buzzing. The thing he had guessed had finally happened, and he even went to Zheng Qian to complain. Had he been caught red-handed?

Zhang Yi's mind raced, but he still felt something was wrong. If the conflict needed to be resolved, Li Po should be present, and this was Li Po's camp. Zheng Qian shouldn't be sitting in the main seat; it didn't conform to the rules of officialdom.

Turning around, Wang Yue was still blocking the exit. Could it be that Li Po had already been arrested?

Unsure of the situation, Zhang Yi tentatively asked, "Ma Teng, explain yourself clearly. I don't know what you're talking about."

Ma Teng pointed at Zhang Yi and said hatefully, "Hmph, Zhang Yi, stop pretending. Li Po asked you to host the banquet and told me to follow Commander Zheng, but he went to my house to try to rape my wife Zhou Yingying. You were his lookout, his accomplice, weren't you?"

"Bullshit! How could I, Zhang Yi, do such a thing? I'm going to find the commander right now and ask him what happened." After saying this, Zhang Yi turned around and tried to walk out. This was his plan to escape, but Wang Yue stopped him and asked in a cold voice.

"Wang Yue, why are you stopping me? Are you trying to attack me?"

Zheng Qian stood up and chuckled, "Zhang Yi, Li Po has been executed for breaking into Ma Teng's house. Now there is only one commander of the Xuanhu Army, and that is me, Zheng Qian. You either submit to me, Zheng Qian, or you die. The choice is yours."

“Commander Li is a master in the late stage of Blood Refining Realm, and his Tiger Soul Body is even more powerful and invincible. Do you think you can kill him with just a few of you?” Zhang Yi did not believe that they could kill Li Po silently, after all, Li Po had the highest realm and the strongest combat power.

"Li Po is nothing to us. There are people who want to kill him, and they could line up from Yan City to Shangxi City. They would skin him alive and then slit his throat. I heard that he was a famous skinning expert in the Underworld. So someone challenged his skills and skinned him on the spot, making him admit defeat."

Zheng Qian smiled. Even if Li Po died ten thousand times, it wouldn't be enough to quell Feng Ziguo's anger or atone for the crimes he had committed. He felt no remorse for Li Po's death.

Zhang Yi remained silent, but he already knew perfectly well what Zheng Qian was up to. His efforts to win over the four deputy commanders were simply a ploy to seize power.

"I won't force you, but I'll show you some information." Zheng Qian took eight sheets of paper from Wu Yuxiao and handed them to Zhang Yi.

Upon seeing the contents of the first image, Zhang Yi turned deathly pale.

The record contains two things: one is about Li Po visiting his house three years ago, and the other is about Li Po's suspicious behavior when he wasn't home.

Damn, judging from the information above, Zhang Yi is being cuckolded.

The next item was information about Zhang Yi's accumulated wealth over the years. After quickly glancing through it, he tore it to shreds with a few swishes and threw it into the brazier. He stared at Zheng Qian and asked, "What do you want?"

Zheng Qian sat back in the main seat, not even glancing at Zhang Yi, and said indifferently, "I believe everyone has heard about the evil deeds that the Xinyi Gang has committed in Yancheng. The 'Yi' in Xinyi Gang refers to Guo Yi himself. Do you all think he deserves to die?"

"Damn it." Zhao Long, Wang Yue, Li Ying, and Ma Teng answered at the same time, then all looked at Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi lowered his head, knowing he was powerless to change anything. He couldn't accept that Li Po had cheated on him, and now he had no choice but to follow Zheng Qian to the bitter end. He said coldly.

"In response to the commander, Guo Yi deserves to die."

"it is good."

Zheng Qian loudly agreed, then said to Wang Yue, "Bring Guo Yi here. He's done so many evil things, he deserves to go to hell."
