Ten breaths

"Gulong..."

Wang Mang swallowed, unable to hide the shock on his face.

He knew that the Dragon Guards were powerful, but he didn't expect them to be so powerful.

He had just tried his best and had been entangled with Zhang Long and Zhao Hu for a long time, and was seriously injured in the end.

As soon as the Dragon Guards appeared, they instantly killed Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and dozens of the Red Fire Army soldiers.

The key is zero casualties.

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the Fire Army, known as an elite force, would be so vulnerable.

In other words, the power of Dragon Guards was far beyond the imagination of all of them.

Even the most ordinary member among them is enough to become a powerful general.

As for the team leader-level characters, their strength is even greater than his.

The destructive power of a team formed by such a group of experts has reached the point where it is unstoppable.

"General Wang, please take some people to clean up the scene. I still need to continue hunting down General Long Wei."

Shi Changning stepped forward, said a few simple words, and then left quickly with the Dragon Guards.

All that was left were corpses on the ground and the law enforcement team members with shocked faces.

Those who can join the law enforcement team are elite selected from hundreds of thousands, and each of them has strong combat effectiveness.

There are countless examples of winning with fewer people.

But when compared with the Dragon Guards just now, they deeply realized that there are also gaps among the elites.

If they are one in a hundred, then the Dragon Guards can definitely be said to be one in ten thousand!

"General Wang, is this the Dragon Guards? Isn't that too scary?"

A member of the law enforcement team looked at the corpses in front of him and couldn't help but exclaimed.

They had fought back and forth with the Fire Army not long ago, but when the Dragon Guards came out, they were killed instantly.

The gap between the two sides is too big.

"We only selected one or two hundred people from the hundreds of thousands of Black Dragon Army. How could they not be powerful?"

Wang Mang took a deep breath, retracted his gaze, and said helplessly: "Don't look at it anymore. There should be nothing for us to do next. Let's prepare to clean up the mess."

Now that the Dragon Guards have been dispatched, it is no longer their turn to capture General Long Wei.

Of course, for the law enforcement team, the action that night was a complete failure.

The encirclement and suppression is still ongoing.

After a night of searching and hunting, all the scattered Fire Army were finally captured.

No one was spared.

…

At dawn, inside the palace.

Thorian was sitting under an osmanthus tree, playing chess alone.

Beside him stood two maids holding lamps.

Occasionally, osmanthus flowers fall, bringing with them a hint of fragrance.

The atmosphere seemed so peaceful and tranquil.

"Da, da, da, da..."

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded.

The two maids raised their heads and saw Wang Mang, accompanied by members of the law enforcement team, and two rebel generals of the Fire Army, rushing into the yard in a hurry.

"Reporting to the young prince! All the stubborn members of the Fire Army have been killed, and the remnants have been captured. These are the three deputy generals of the Fire Army. Please make your decisions, young prince!"

Wang Mang knelt on one knee, with his fists raised high, and an attitude of respect.

Thorian didn't even raise his head, just looked at the chessboard quietly, and asked calmly: "Where is General Long Wei?"

"General Long Wei and several of his personal guards are missing, and General Shi is still searching for them."

After saying this, Wang Mang lowered his head and added: "It is my fault that I did not do my job properly. Please punish me, my Lord!"

"He was able to escape capture after being poisoned by the Ten Fragrance Softening Powder. This is indeed something strange. I underestimated him. It has nothing to do with you. Get up."

Thorian held a white piece between two fingers and gently dropped it, his face calm.

"I dare not! I feel guilty!"

Wang Mang still knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

The army has military laws, and the family has family rules.

Regardless of the reason, he failed to capture General Longwei, which was his dereliction of duty, and he should be punished.

“Since you like being beaten, then you can receive fifty military sticks yourself.” Thorian said lightly.

"Thank you, young prince, for your reward!" Wang Mang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If he is not beaten, he will feel uneasy all over. Only after being beaten can he feel at ease.

"After you receive the military stick, there is another thing I want you to do." Thorian suddenly spoke again.

"Please give your orders, young prince!" Wang Mang lowered his head again.

“I heard that General Longwei’s mansion is very magnificent, and there are mountains of treasures inside. You should bring your troops and search the mansion. Arrest those who should be arrested and imprison those who should be imprisoned. Everything should be handled impartially without favoritism.” Thorian said domineeringly.

"I obey your command!" Wang Mang responded and stood up to leave.

At this time, Thorian finally stopped playing chess, turned his attention to the three rebel generals who were tied up, and asked calmly: "How long have you followed General Long Wei?"

The three of them lowered their heads and said nothing.

"I'll give you a chance to live. Whoever answers my questions first will be spared." Thorian had a blank expression on his face.

When these words were spoken, the three of them were stunned.

Their eyes flickered, half believing and half doubting.

"Young Prince, do you keep your word?" the general on the left asked tentatively.

"Shut up! Are you going to betray the general?!" the general in the middle shouted in a low voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped hard by a member of the law enforcement team.

"The opportunity is before you. Believe it or not, it's up to you."

Thorian picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said calmly, "My patience is limited. I will only give you ten breaths to consider. After ten breaths, even if you want to say something, I won't want to hear it anymore." - Ton
