When Zhao Yanxun appeared in front of the military formation, all the soldiers had lined up neatly and paid homage under the leadership of Gao Zhengan.
"I will see you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone knelt down together, and the scene was solemn.
The horse came to Gao Zhengan. When the horse's hoofs were less than one meter away from Gao Zhengan, Zhao Yanxun reined in the reins.
This scene alone let Gao Zhengan know that today's test was not going to be easy.
"You are also from the Guards Department. Don't you know what high-level mutants mean?"
Zhao Yanxun asked Gao Zhengan no idea how to answer the question.
After killing the high-level mutant last time, Zhao Yanxun made it clear that he had given orders to all the military offices to report such situations and not to deal with them privately.
Regarding what advanced mutants are, Zhao Yanxun has also described them to thousands of households, so there is no such thing as ignorance.
At this moment, Gao Zhengan did not argue and said bluntly: "Report to the prince, I am guilty!"
Gao Zhengan knew very well what his crime was. Everything was due to his eagerness for quick success.
He thought he could control the situation, so he was eager to perform meritorious deeds, which led to his subordinates being surrounded and in danger.
"You made your own decision and used troops without permission. What crime should you be guilty of?" Zhao Yanxun said in a cold tone.
At this moment, Gao Zhengan realized that the consequences were more serious than he imagined, which made him even more uneasy.
"I have committed a serious crime, please punish me!" Gao Zhengan directly knocked his head on the grass.
Not only him, but also Zhao Yanxun didn't ask anyone else to get up. Everyone was kneeling now, but Gao Zhengan was prostrated.
Zhao Yanxun said coldly: "Don't take up the position of Deputy Qianhu for the time being. Go back to Yuanyang!"
With just this sentence, Gao Zhengan was stripped of his position, and everyone present was deeply shocked.
Although they also felt that Gao Zhengan was acting improperly, they did not expect that Zhao Yanxun would remove him from office. The consequences would be too serious.
The scene became silent, and Gao Zhengan was even more absent-minded. For a moment, he couldn't accept the result, and he felt like his heart was twisting.
"I accept the order and thank you for your kindness!"
Thunder, rain and dew are all due to your kindness. If he cannot understand this, then Gao Zhengan will have no chance of turning over.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yanxun looked at Li Gu on one side and asked, "What's your name?"
When Zhao Yanxun pointed him out, Li Gu didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse. He was extremely frightened and replied: "I, Li Gu, of the hundred families, come to see the prince!"
"Before the new Qianhu takes office, you will be in charge of Yuan County's military affairs!"
What this means is that Li Gu is temporarily assigned to the post of Deputy Qianhu, which is great news.
Although it was good news, Li Gu still suppressed his inner joy and replied as calmly as possible: "I accept your order!"
Acting calmer can, on the one hand, make Zhao Yanxun look higher, and on the other hand, it can reduce Gao Zhengan's ranking.
Although Gao Zhengan was dismissed from his post, it does not mean that he has lost his temper. After all, even Wang Chengdu was reinstated. Gao Zhengan, who came from the Guards Department, is likely to be reinstated.
At this moment, the guards who were chasing people to the north had completed a large number of kills and were now gathering on horseback towards the chariot.
"You all get up!"
Immediately afterwards, everyone present carefully stood up, and Zhao Yanxun also dismounted.
But Gao Zhengan was still kneeling on the ground.
"Why are you still kneeling?"
"I have a serious crime on my body, so I dare not get up!" Gao Zheng'an replied, his behavior was suspected of being a traitor.
Zhao Yanxun looked sternly and said: "As a chief officer, the lives of your subordinates are all at stake. You commanded improperly... Is it possible that just a few seconds is worth the weight of more than a hundred lives?"
These words were a clear accusation against Gao Zheng'an, which made him feel so ashamed at the moment that he wished he could understand him with a knife.
"If you like to kneel, then go back and kneel, don't embarrass yourself here!"
Zhao Yanxun would never have a good look towards such a person who is rashly advancing in Qinggong, in order to create a demonstration effect.
Wang Cheng was dismissed from his post, which made all officers tighten their security concerns.
So when dealing with Gao Zheng'an, all officers at the Qianhu level must understand that they must weigh their abilities at all times and must not use troops rashly just for merit.
Of course, in order to prevent his subordinates from being timid, Zhao Yanxun would clearly point out in his dismissal order that Gao Zhengan also violated the king's order on dealing with advanced mutants.
At this moment, after being scolded, Gao Zhengan had no choice but to get up from the ground.
I saw Zhao Yanxun scanning the surroundings, and then asked: "Who discovered these monsters first two days ago?"
"Reporting to the prince, this is the general flag stationed here, Yang Qing!"
Li Gu has already assumed the post of Deputy Qianhu, so it is natural that he should answer the question at this time.
After he finished speaking, he waved to Yang Qing who was at the chariot, and the latter immediately walked over quickly.
"Your Majesty, Yang Qing, come to see the prince!"
Yang Qing, who had just stood up from the ground, was now kneeling on the ground again.
"Get up and talk!"
Yang Qing stood up carefully, mentally prepared to be questioned.
"Did you discover these advanced mutated monsters first?"
"Reporting to the prince, I discovered it while patrolling in the south!"
"Tell me in detail!"
"As you command!"
At this time, Yang Qing was not in a hurry to answer, but went through the matter again in his mind.
After making sure there was nothing missing, he started talking.
"Your Majesty, on the morning of the fourth day of February, I led my men on a routine patrol south, and when I rushed to the territory of Gu Meng Mansion, I discovered this group of corpses!"
"I led people to escape back to the north bank of the boundary river, and found that the largest monster could actually carry wood and build a bridge across the river, so I determined that this group of corpses were the advanced mutants that the prince had said!"
In fact, these were all Yang Qing's hindsight. At that time, he didn't even know the term advanced mutant.
It's just that he felt that the corpse group and the black bear were difficult to deal with, so he reported the situation. The main reason was that the black bear posed a greater threat.
"Keep talking!"
Until now, Zhao Yanxun still didn’t know about the black bear.
"Reporting to the prince, I immediately led the team back north, but encountered a black bear on the way back, and its roar was extremely terrifying..."
"The black bear was eight or nine feet tall. What's strange is that it was holding something black and black in its arms. When it collided, trees fell down... I and my subordinates managed to avoid it properly and managed to escape with their lives!"
"Black bear? Is there a black thing in its arms? What is that thing? Is it a stone?"
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun has already thought of a possibility, so he will use the next few questions to confirm it.
"Reporting to the prince, I was too far away at that time and I didn't see clearly!"
"You mean, the black bear you encountered after escaping from the boundary river?"
"yes!"
"Does the group of corpses cross the river to the north?"
"yes!"
“Which direction did the black bear flee?”
It was heading northwest!"
Although there is a deviation in the direction, it is generally consistent.
While Zhao Yanxun was thinking, he heard Yang Qing continue to say: "Your Majesty, those corpses have been surrounding us for more than two days. The black bear roared just now, but it took all the corpses away!"
"Took away?"
"The black bear's voice rang from the northwest, and these monsters also followed, but they were stopped halfway by you, the prince!"
In this case, the corpses followed the black bear, so it is very likely that the thing the black bear was holding was a meteorite.
