Fang Chen and others swaggered into the manor, and the two generals and their senior officials hurriedly greeted them.
"General Fang, you are here!"
"It's great to see you, General Fang. I thought you had gone crazy and died before. It's so exciting to see General Fang today!"
"It is truly an honor for both of us to meet General Fang again!"
"Nothing happened to Master Fang. That is a blessing to all the people in the world and a blessing to the imperial court!"
When the two generals saw Fang Chen, they were filled with hatred and wanted to tear Fang Chen into pieces, but they still patted him on the back.
This is a habit and is meant to confuse the other person.
Fang Chen had no expression on his face and immediately took out the imperial edict.
"General Jinlong, General Tianying takes the order!"
The two generals and everyone behind them all knelt on the ground.
"I will receive the order."
Fang Chen opened the imperial edict and said loudly: "By God, the emperor decreed that the two generals have worked hard in the battle and have made great achievements. The two generals will be rewarded with one hundred thousand taels of silver each, four manors, and three thousand guards..."
There are a lot of rewards in the imperial edict, but these rewards are just a drop in the bucket for the two generals and have no effect.
"The two generals have now returned from victory. Your Majesty asked the two generals to return the tiger talisman to me."
The two generals were startled when they heard this. Sure enough, the last sentence was the key point.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty had already asked Fang Chen to collect the military talismans before they returned to Beijing or arrived at the imperial capital.
The two generals were still kneeling on the ground, and Fang Chen hadn't asked them to get up yet. But after hearing the last words, the two generals immediately stood up, and everyone behind them also stood up and glared at Fang Chen.
"Your Majesty, what does this mean? Even if we want to hand over the tiger talisman, we have to go to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit and return the tiger talisman to His Majesty in front of all the civil and military officials!"
"That's right, we won't hand over the Tiger Talisman now. Even if His Majesty wants to reward us, we have to wait until we return to Beijing instead of letting General Fang bring us here halfway!"
The two of them were very dissatisfied with Fang Chen and His Majesty's actions.
At this time, Fang Chen took out a token. This was not His Majesty's token. Fang Chen understood that it would be useless to take out His Majesty's token now.
This is the token of the Marshal of the Army!
"During the march, someone poisoned me, and my body was taken away and transported to Dayan. However, halfway through, the poison in my body was detoxified, and I came back to life."
"As everyone knows, I am the Grand Marshal of Soldiers and Horses, commanding the three armies. However, something happened to me before, so I asked two generals to temporarily act as marshals. Now that the two generals hand over the Tiger Talisman, it will be returned to its original owner!"
"What the general just said is correct. Returning the Tiger Talisman must be done in front of His Majesty and all the civil and military officials. However, it is me who does this, not the two generals!"
Fang Chen holds the token and wants the Tiger Talisman now, and his attitude is extremely tough.
The expressions of the two generals became extremely cold.
"General Fang, we fought this battle, we negotiated, and we did everything. Now that we have returned victorious, does General Fang want to take away our credit?"
"General Fang, we will not hand over the Tiger Talisman. We will personally explain and explain this matter to His Majesty, so please take it back, General Fang!"
Fang Chen also didn't expect that the two generals' attitudes would be so resolute.
According to Fang Chen's judgment, the two of them might politely refuse the matter. Unexpectedly, they would not give Fang Chen any face.
Since the two of them don't give themselves any face, then Fang Chen doesn't need to give them any face.
"Two generals, the reason why something happened to me was because the two generals poisoned me. I know everything!"
"If you two don't want to make a big deal out of it, just do as I say, otherwise I will make your poisoning public so that everyone can see your true colors!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the two generals changed again.
They definitely won't admit it.
"General Fang, you are talking nonsense. When did we poison you? You are just spitting blood!"
"General Fang, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. You are slandering me!"
Now that the two generals have military power, they are not afraid of directly quarreling with Fang Chen.
"Would I say something without evidence?"
"You two secretly poisoned me in Nanhe City, and that night I arrested the prefect Zhang He. He confessed everything to me, wrote a confession, and signed it!"
"And the prefect Zhang He is in the imperial capital now, in my hands, and can testify at any time!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the two generals turned pale!
They never thought that Zhang He would betray them!
The two of them didn't know that Fang Chen could use sorcery to control Zhang He, so they knew everything.
However, the two still refused to admit it.
"This is simply nonsense! You said we poisoned you, what kind of poison was it? Take out the poison, this witness must have been bribed by you, it doesn't count at all!"
"That's right, it's just a confession. We can also find someone to write one. If this can be used as evidence, wouldn't it be childish?"
Fang Chen and the people around him were stunned. They didn't expect these two people to be so shameless.
Fang Chen smiled and said: "I do not have poison, but this poison was provided to you by General Feihu's son Chen Feiyun, wasn't it?"
"And when I was poisoned, the prince of the Xijin Empire was present, and the prince's guards were also present. These people are all witnesses!"
"Zhang He is not a witness, but does the prince of the Xijin Empire count?"
As soon as Fang Chen finished speaking, he saw a person walking over not far away.
"And me, I can also be a witness!"
This person is Ye Yu, the commander of Jinyiwei!
Previously, Fang Chen became the Generalissimo of the Army and brought Ye Yu with him when he conquered the Daqian Dynasty.
Later, Fang Chen faked his death and left, while Ye Yu stayed and stared at the two generals.
"I've seen the commander!" Ye Yu walked over and saluted Fang Chen.
Fang Chen smiled.
"Ye Yu, I've been working hard recently."
After seeing Ye Yu, the two generals had a chill in their eyes.
"Ye Yu, why did you come out? What kind of witness are you? What evidence do you have in your hand?"
Ye Yu stared at the two generals coldly and said, "Of course I have evidence in my hand, because I overheard your conversation. You said you wanted to poison Mr. Fang to death, gain military power, and conquer Daqian.
Have supreme glory!"
Of course, these are all fabrications, and Ye Yu didn't even hear what the two generals said.
The two generals knew that Ye Yu and Jin Yiwei were Fang Chen's people, so they would avoid these people every time they talked, and the surrounding area was heavily guarded, making it impossible for Ye Yu's people to approach.
But Ye Yu can make something out of nothing and create some evidence!
The faces of both generals turned dark.
"Ye Yu, you are talking nonsense and nonsense. You dare to slander your superior. You deserve death!"
