uggling, raised his head, and a fierce look appeared in his eyes as he stared at Jiang Yun: "Of course I understand. Who are you, and what brings you here"Since the other party could understand what h..."Calling the roll, also known as point muster, is the act of checking military personnel."

As soon as the signal drum is struck, all guards must assemble at the front of the general's residence as quickly as possible before the drumming ceases.

A sound of a drum, representing a roll call!

A total of three times.

Every beat of the drum would last for a short number of breaths, serving as a signal for all guards to assemble.

Although the Prefect's Manor and the guards' quarters were a certain distance apart, this place was like paradise. All the guards were cultivators, and there weren't any weaklings among them.

So, with their capabilities, as soon as they heard the drumbeat, within one or two breaths of time, they would absolutely be able to arrive at the general's residence.

At this very moment, as Ginger Cloud struck the morning drum heavily, the sonorous and deep drumbeats also clearly echoed throughout the entire Thirty-Three Districts, reaching the ears of every guard.

And hearing the drums, the over three thousand guards who were lined up and standing there all had different reactions on their faces.

Some wore a contemptuous smile, while others remained impassive.

But some, like President Zhao Dapeng, already show a hint of unease on their faces.

To be sure, Lu Wenlin was very caring towards the guards under his command when he served as a military commander.

But this kind of care couldn't truly benefit every guard, let alone make all the guards willingly pledge their lives to Lu Wenlin like Fang Ming.

However, before Gingercloud took office, they had to obey President Fang Ming and President Luoyi as ordinary guards.

Since the president did not approve of General Ginger Cloud and wouldn't allow them to meet him, they naturally didn't dare to go.

But now, hearing the drumbeats of the rabbit's drum, they knew it must be Jiang Yun who was drumming, summoning them to assemble. This made those who were unwilling to sell their lives for Lu Wenlin feel a twinge of worry.

Not visiting Jiangyun at most is just disobedience, a crime not punishable by death.

But if you don't clock in by then, especially after the third bell, it's a capital offense.

Fang Ming and Luo Yi, of course, also heard the sound of the drums. But instead of any worry, the two looked at each other and smiled.

"The sound of the percussion drums, we haven't heard it in ages," said Luo Yi.

Fang Ming nodded and said, "That's right. When Master Lu was here, we didn't need to be called together by a drum."

Just let Lord Lu know, and we will arrive immediately.

Nearby Zhao Dapeng, his eyes were already slightly red, and his heart was truly filled with anger and anxiety.

What he wanted most right now was to disregard these two lunatics in front of him and rush to the general's mansion as quickly as possible before the sound of the drum faded away.

However, Fang Ming seemed to know what he was thinking. He turned his head and gave him a glance, smiling and saying, "Zhao younger brother, how come, you're starting to waver again"

"If Zhao younger brother really wants to go and see that Fan Xiao, then please feel free."

After all, everyone has their own aspirations. I won't stand in your way!

"But, once Zhao lao di leaves this place, then from now on, you and we will no longer be brothers."

Although Fang Ming's face was smiling, Zhao Dapeng could clearly see a glimmer of killing intent in the depths of his eyes.

If only Fang Ming were the one, Zhao Dapeng wouldn't be afraid.

But Luo Yi on the side was also looking at him with a knowing smile, which left Zhao Dapeng only able to squeeze out a reluctant smile and say, "Brother Fang, what are you talking about"

Since we are all comrades, and have been together for so many years, then at this time, we should naturally work together. How could I possibly leave alone

Fang Ming nodded in satisfaction at Zhao Dapeng's answer, and even reached out to gently pat Zhao Dapeng's shoulder, saying: "Relax, Zhao little brother, everything will be fine."

"Even if something happens, it will be me who takes responsibility at that time. I won't let you or anyone else be implicated in any way."

At this moment, still within the Mo Ze manor, Leng Yi Chen who was sitting there with his eyes closed as if in a doze suddenly spoke, "Fan Xiao has begun to roll call!"

Mo Ze, beside him, twitched slightly and smiled bitterly: "What's the point of checking in I guess Fang Ming and those guys won't be able to make it to Fan Xiao's place for the check-in before the third round."

Leng Yichen nodded and said, "No need to guess, they definitely won't go!"

Moe Ze's face showed concern as he said, "My lord, Fan Xiao's personality doesn't seem as weak as it used to be."

If Fang Ming and all the guards truly didn't go, what do you think he would do

Leng Yichen smiled and asked back, "If it were you, what would you do"

"Me" Mo Ze hesitated for a moment and said, "The law does not punish the multitude."

>More than 3,000 guards, backed by more than 3,000 clans, don't even mention that I am just a small general. Even if I were the emperor, I would have to consider the consequences of punishing them all.

Therefore, I can only go to find my superiors, or simply ask you to come forward!

To Mo Ze's answer, Leng Yi Chen smiled faintly and said, "Then let's just see what he'll do!"

In the midst of their conversation, the first drumbeat finally faded away.

And Jiang Yun, without hesitation, once again raised the drum mallet and struck it against the mu drum.

When the second drumbeat echoed into the ears of over three thousand guards stationed in Area 33, many of them visibly twitched.

Before the second month of the lunar year is over, whip eighty times!

Although such a punishment is rather severe, it is at least within their capacity to bear.

At this time, they could just get to Jiang Yun's place and assemble. That wouldn't be a big deal for them anyway.

If they still don't go by the time the third watch begins, then according to military law, it will be a head for each one!

Just as the guards began to move, Fang Ming suddenly turned around. Two cold lights flashed in his eyes as he looked coldly at the crowd, and uttered two words heavily: "Form an array!"

These two words also caused the hearts of all the guards to tremble violently.

As guardians of the heavens above, from a squad of one hundred guards to all the guards across nine heavens, different formations are used depending on the number of personnel.

The role of the battlefield is, naturally, to allow their strength to coalesce, so that they can fight with the weak against the strong, and battle those whose strength surpasses them.

And now that Fang Ming has arrayed everyone, it means Fang Ming is determined to kill the newly appointed general.

This made most of the guards, even those who had previously disregarded the newly appointed general, feel a twinge of unease in their hearts.

Those who commit treason against their superiors deserve nothing but death. Their crimes are unforgivable!

Therefore, as Fang Ming's voice fell, besides the two or three hundred guards who immediately sprang into action, the rest of the guards remained standing still, unmoving.

Seeing everyone's reactions, Fang Ming said coldly again: "Since Lord Lu is not here, I am the highest official in District Thirty-Three."

"If you disobey my orders, I will still be able to punish you according to military law!"

As he spoke, Fang Ming slowly raised his hand and said, "Before my hand falls, anyone who disobeys, will be executed!"

The moment those words were spoken, the motionless guards finally dared not stand still.

Indeed, Fanxiao is their superior, but Fangming is also.

Fan Xiao might not dare to use military law against his own people, but Fang Ming would definitely follow through with his words.

When all the guards began to quickly form ranks, the second drumbeat also vanished.

And Gingercloud lifted the mallet for the third time, striking it heavily upon the mu drum.

As the third drumbeat sounded, Ginger Cloud placed the drumstick gently on the drum frame and closed her eyes, listening quietly to the sound of the drum.

More than three hundred guards, like butterflies flitting among flowers, constantly changing positions.

And for this third drumbeat, although they could hear it clearly, at this moment, they had no heart to pay attention to it.

Finally, as the three drumsticks faded away, they also completed their battle formation.

One hundred people, a total of thirty-three battle formations, ready to launch!

Jiang Yun opened his eyes and turned to walk toward the residence of the guards stationed in Area Thirty-Three."Mo Qinghong smiled faintly. "The Emperor Xuanyuan said you weren't a member of the Huangzu clan, but since you have Huangwen on your body, you must be related to them.""But do you know, actually, the...
