Without money, what is the point of being a traitor?

Chapter 520: Fighting against the enemy, it is impossible to give in
Pei Yuan turned his horse slightly and headed towards Jiang Bin.

Qian Ning quickly reached out to pull him, shouting, "Pei Yuan, don't do this."

Jiang Bin also became alert when he saw Pei Yuan riding his horse to meet him.

After all, Pei Yuan, a guy who looks very strong, is very intimidating just by his appearance compared to Qian Ning, who focuses more on skills and techniques.

Jiang Bin had met Pei Yuan once before when he was in the Huguang camp.

At that time, Pei Yuan was Lu Ting's guest of honor.

Jiang Bin vaguely remembered that this was a military officer who managed the temple and Taoist temple.

Management of temples and Taoist temples? Military officer?
The combination of these two unremarkable words made Jiang Bin look down upon this captain from that time on.

It was just that at that time, he only smiled at them because of the face of the eunuch Lu Ting, the commander-in-chief of military affairs.

Now that he is the adopted son of the current emperor, and because of his bravery and strength, he is deeply trusted by the emperor, so naturally he looks down on Pei Yuan even more.

He was on guard and sneered as he watched Pei Yuan approach, wanting to see what this guy wanted to say.

Pei Yuan got closer and closer to Jiang Bin, with a deliberately provocative look in his eyes.

Jiang Bin looked at the man and instinctively sensed a hint of danger.

But in this kind of confrontation, it is impossible to give in.

Jiang Bin's whole body was tense, and he looked at Pei Yuan with increasing arrogance, pretending not to care.

Seeing Pei Yuan getting closer and closer, and the two sides having broken the safe distance, Jiang Bin immediately realized his mistake.

Although his response was as heroic as others, he ultimately fell behind.

Jiang Bin was a veteran of the battlefield and didn't care about his face at all. He moved and was about to take the initiative.

However, Pei Yuan, who was riding his horse slowly towards him, suddenly raised his foot and pretended to kick the head of Jiang Bin's horse.

The warhorse was frightened and immediately raised its head and galloped to avoid the attack. Jiang Bin also quickly tightened the reins and stood up in a half-squat position on the stirrups.

Pei Yuan quickly covered his horse's eyes.

The warhorse was not familiar with Pei Yuan, and it shook its bridle to avoid Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan kicked the horse's belly hard with his feet, and the warhorse subconsciously staggered forward two steps and hit Jiang Bin's warhorse, which was trying to avoid him.

It was already difficult for Jiang Bin's warhorse to dodge as it carried him. Jiang Bin was also trying to move his body to prepare for subsequent responses. His center of gravity was unstable and he was hit. His four hooves trampled in disarray and he fell sideways.

The warhorse that Pei Yuan was riding also lost its balance and crashed into Jiang Bin's warhorse.

Jiang Bin didn't expect Pei Yuan to start fighting as soon as he said so, and he would leave no room for maneuver.

He was slow for several times and was unable to break free from the horse as he had expected. Fortunately, he adjusted his body in time so that the horse bore the impact.

However, what made Jiang Bin furious was that Pei Yuan's horse stumbled over right after.

Jiang Bin could only roll sideways awkwardly to dodge and try to get up.

Pei Yuan, who had already planned everything in his mind, took advantage of the momentum and inertia of his horse falling to the ground and pounced directly at Jiang Bin.

Before Jiang Bin could get up, Pei Yuan's strong body knocked him down, and then Pei Yuan punched Jiang Bin hard on the head.

Jiang Bin was beaten so hard that he saw stars. He endured the dizziness on his forehead and shook his body wildly, throwing Pei Yuan out.

When Pei Yuan saw that this was the death roll that he relied on to travel the world in his early years, he also knew that it would not be easy to control Jiang Bin.

He wanted to repeat the same trick he used to control Liang Ci'an, and use his belt to strangle Jiang Bin's neck.

However, Jiang Bin had rich combat experience. After pushing Pei Yuan away, he shrugged his shoulders and neck, turned his back to protect his vital parts, then supported himself on the ground with his hands and kicked backwards fiercely with his feet.

Pei Yuan was used to bullying weak players with his A, and had never fought against such a strong man. He was a little unprepared with the belt in both hands.

He subconsciously jumped up to dodge Jiang Bin's fierce kicks.

Pei Yuan felt something was wrong just after he dodged the brutal attack.

He had just hurriedly pulled out his belt, and the dandy clothes inside had been pulled loose, and he jumped like this.

Pei Yuan immediately felt a coolness under his official robe, and something soft fell on his ankle.

I rely on!

Pei Yuan panicked.

Jiang Bin's kick missed the target, and he used his powerful arm strength to retract his legs. Then he turned his body like a Thomas turn, from facing the enemy with his back to facing Pei Yuan, and kicked fiercely with the leg he had just retracted.

Pei Yuan was worried about his pants on his feet, so he didn't dare to fight with Jiang Bin and could only dodge backwards.

Seeing that the series of advantages he had painstakingly created were about to be reversed by Jiang Bin, Pei Yuan used the belt in his hand to directly wrap around Jiang Bin's flying right leg.

Then, using his large body weight, he pulled it back.

Jiang Bin didn't expect Pei Yuan to be so strong. He couldn't support himself with his hands and was dragged to the ground.

But at this moment, Jiang Bin had completely calmed down from his previous panic.

But at this moment, Pei Yuan shouted at Qian Ning who was standing there in a daze, "What are you standing there for? Come and help me."

Qian Ning woke up as if from a dream, quickly jumped off the horse and rushed towards Jiang Bin.

Pei Yuan didn't care about the two bare hairy legs exposed outside his official robe. He wrapped his belt around one of Jiang Bin's feet and pulled hard to prevent him from getting up.

Jiang Bin became furious and fought with Pei Yuan for a while.

But he was somewhat horrified to find that even with his own divine power, he was actually being dragged over bit by bit.

Jiang Bin was just about to relax his strength and kick when Qian Ning arrived.

Since ancient times, any sharpshooter, I dare not say much about other things, but the strength of their arms is far beyond that of ordinary people.

Qian Ning was not tall and strong, and he had always worked for the Imperial Guard, so he had never fought in any life-and-death situations.

Therefore, after seeing Jiang Bin beat the captain Zhou Qi to death with his own eyes, he was extremely afraid of him and looked everywhere for help to fight against Jiang Bin.

But just because he has little experience and no desire to fight doesn't mean his strength is fake.

Jiang Bin had already been subdued by Pei Yuan's first move, and once Qian Ning joined in, an overwhelming situation was immediately formed.

Qian Ning first kicked Jiang Bin's supporting hands, and then punched Jiang Bin's head.

At the same time as Jiang Bin let go of his hands, he exerted force from his waist and abdomen and pulled his legs together, using the momentum of falling to the ground to break the belt out of Pei Yuan's hands.

But this was his last struggle. Pei Yuan and Qian Ning came together and beat Jiang Bin violently.

Jiang Bin struggled desperately, causing Pei Yuan and Qian Ning to be hit by several heavy punches.

But both of them became ferocious and fought even more fiercely.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted angrily, "What are you doing?!" Then someone jumped off his horse and wanted to come over to help.

Pei Yuan and Qian Ning both knew that it was Jiang Bin's accomplice who came, so they suppressed Jiang Bin even harder, beating him as many times as possible.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Qian Ning was hesitating whether to let Jiang Bin go or call on the surrounding Jinyiwei to join him.

Then I heard another shocked and angry voice, "W-what are you doing?!"

Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but slow down. Even the man who rushed over to help stopped and bowed, "Your Majesty."

It turned out that Zhu Houzhao, who had not seen Pei Yuan catch up with him to question him, rode back on his horse.

As a result, when Zhu Houzhao came over, he saw Pei Yuan and Qian Ning teaming up to beat Jiang Bin up.

Looking at Pei Yuan's hairy legs exposed from under his official robe and his shirt pulled down to his ankles, Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to imagine what would happen next.

He was so angry that his face turned red and white, and he cursed, "How can this be! Outside the imperial city, in front of all the troops, you two bastards, as Jinyiwei soldiers, actually abused the general in public. It's so bold!"

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao had scolded them so much, Pei Yuan and Qian Ning had no choice but to get up from Jiang Bin obediently.

Pei Yuan saw attendants and soldiers rushing over one after another, so he quickly pulled back his belt and pulled up his trousers.

Jiang Bin was beaten up by Pei Yuan and Qian Ning and was already somewhat distracted.

Zhu Houzhao stopped the two men for a long time before he stood up in a daze, then fell down and fainted again.

Zhu Houzhao looked at it and asked quickly, "What's going on?"

The military officer who had come to help hurried forward to check.

Pei Yuan saw that the man looked familiar and was wondering where he had seen him before when he heard Qian Ning whisper, "Li Cong."

Pei Yuan immediately understood that this was Jiang Bin's accomplice.

Li Cong went over to check and reported back to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Jiang Bin fainted due to anger. It seems that there is nothing serious."

Pei Yuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Li Cong didn't take the opportunity to discredit him.

But Qian Ning, who was kneeling beside him, made a low "tsk" sound.

Pei Yuan immediately understood that Jiang Bin had always been famous for his bravery and was very much loved by the emperor.

If Jiang Bin didn't recognize his mother after she was beaten up, it would completely destroy Jiang Bin's image as a tough guy in the eyes of the world. Instead of that, it would be better to swallow it and avoid being looked down upon by outsiders.

Zhu Houzhao didn't know the twists and turns here, and he breathed a sigh of relief immediately, and urged, "Go and ask the imperial physician to treat him!"

Li Cong still tried hard to maintain Jiang Bin's image, and said in a deep voice, "I am willing to escort Jiang Bin to the Imperial Hospital."

Zhu Houzhao was very concerned about this beloved general and said quickly, "Send him there quickly and let the hospital envoy treat him properly."

When Li Cong led several of his personal soldiers to carry Jiang Bin onto the horse and take him away, Zhu Houzhao looked at Qian Ning and Pei Yuan with an unpleasant expression and shouted, "What's wrong with you two?!"

Upon hearing this, Pei Yuan waited for Qian Ning to speak.

After all, Qian Ning was the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and a close minister to the emperor, and their private intimacy was even more so. It would obviously be better if Qian Ning spoke up.

Unexpectedly, Pei Yuan waited for a long time, but Qian Ning didn't say a word.

Pei Yuanzheng was surprised.

Zhu Houzhao's tone became more severe. "Why is no one talking? Who of you started it first?"

Pei Yuan suddenly realized and cursed Qian Ning in his heart.

I and you are connected in heart, and you and I are connected in brains.

Qian Ning, as a close minister, obviously knew Zhu Houzhao's character and understood that there would be such a question. It was Pei Yuan who took action first, so he was an accomplice and of course he did not want to take the blame.

Pei Yuan could only bow and ask, "It was I who started it first?"

"You?" Zhu Houzhao asked, "What's the grudge between you and Jiang Bin?"

Pei Yuan was still an unknown city boy a year ago. Although he was appreciated by Captain Han and became the deputy captain of the Zhenxie Captain's Office over the past year, he usually did his job honestly and did not cause trouble. There should be no intersection between him and Jiang Bin.

When Pei Yuan heard this, he glanced at Qian Ning inconspicuously.

It seems that even Zhu Houzhao realized that this was Qian Ning and Jiang Bin's problem.

Pei Yuan immediately followed Zhu Houzhao's words and said, "I don't know what grudge I have with Jiang Bin. Just now, I was summoned by Your Majesty and was about to report to Your Majesty about the Luo Sect, when Jiang Bin suddenly came over and asked what I was talking about with Commander Qian."

"I am a member of the Imperial Guard. Although I am not directly subordinate to Commander Qian, I still have to respect the hierarchy. Since Commander Qian is here, I will naturally follow him."

"When Jiang Bin saw that I had no way to fight him, he wanted to kill me. I remembered the past with Captain Zhou Qi, and also remembered that I was carrying top-secret information that I had not yet reported. I did not dare to show any mercy and started fighting with Jiang Bin."

When Zhu Houzhao heard Pei Yuan mention Zhou Qi, he was silent for a moment.

When Zhu Houzhao was playing chess with Jiang Bin, their occasional arguments were just for fun. But Zhou Qi took the opportunity to accuse Jiang Bin of being disrespectful, which was indeed a bit nosy.

Zhu Houzhao dismissed Zhou Qi at that time, but he did not expect that Jiang Bin would use Zhou Qi's excuses to find a fault in him and beat Zhou Qi to death on the spot.

Although Zhu Houzhao comforted himself by citing the old story of "Huo Qubing killing Li Gan" and did not want to blame Jiang Bin at this time of employing people, he was not necessarily annoyed by Jiang Bin's domineering behavior.

Hearing Pei Yuan talking about Zhou Qi's past, and knowing something about the conflict between Jiang Bin and Qian Ning, Zhu Houzhao thought that Jiang Bin wanted to take advantage of the fact that Pei Yuan and Qian Ning were close, and wanted to kill Pei Yuan.

Thinking in this way, it is only natural for Pei Yuan to fight back.

Zhu Houzhao's anger suddenly subsided.

Zhu Houzhao was a utilitarian person. He could tolerate Jiang Bin beating and killing Jinyiwei Captain Zhou Qi just because he wanted to use Jiang Bin, but it does not mean that he was a broad-minded person.

It’s not a bad thing that Pei Yuan can teach Jiang Bin a lesson.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Qian Ning again, "What about you? What's going on?"

After listening to Pei Yuan's response, Qian Ning realized that the storm was almost over, and said shamelessly, "I went to mediate the fight."

"Stop the fight?" Zhu Houzhao almost laughed out of anger.

Qian Ning said immediately, "Jiang Bin has always looked down on us Jinyiwei people, and I also thought he was some great hero. When I saw him arguing with Captain Pei, I was worried that Jiang Bin would get angry again and kill a captain of the personal army, which would bring shame to Your Majesty, so I stepped forward to mediate."

"I just didn't expect that Jiang Bin doesn't seem to be as powerful as he boasted. This makes me seem a little too nosy."

When Zhu Houzhao heard Qian Ning say this, he scolded, "You are the ones who are embarrassed. What does it have to do with me?"

Pei Yuan was listening in, thinking to himself, Qian Ning is indeed a mean person, now he is emphasizing their identity as his own army.

Strictly speaking, Jiang Bin, as a frontier general, arbitrarily killed a thousand soldiers of the emperor's personal army, which was indeed a very serious matter.

Even common people know that when beating a dog, one has to look at the owner first. As a frontier general with a sensitive identity, Jiang Bin blatantly offended the emperor's authority.

If the border generals all take advantage of the emperor's employment of people and follow his example and develop a domineering attitude, then a situation where they are too powerful to be eliminated will definitely be formed in the future.

The two of them gave Jiang Bin a lesson today, which might be in line with Zhu Houzhao's wishes.
