Chapter 554 -The Inspection Guard
“Jiang Chen!” Zhao Wenhao was extremely anxious. He wanted to stop Jiang Chen, but seeing how Jiang Chen resolute was, he didn’t. He went on, “You’ll lose everything you have.”
“I don’t care. I need that Black Yellow Gas.” Jiang Chen was very calm, which meant he had thought it through.
Zhao Wenhao gnashed his teeth, ran up to Jiang Chen, and said to him in a low voice, “If you have to do this, I can help you, so everything will be done secretly. No one will know.”
“You…”
Jiang Chen was struck dumb. He hadn’t expected Zhao Wenhao to help him. If what they did was discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Before he could respond, the other two corps commanders and the four battalion commanders came over. They had been smiling, but at the sight of Jiang Chen and Zhao Wenhao, they were struck dumb.
“Did something happen?” the commander of the Shadow Pursuing Troop asked, puzzled.
His orders were rather thought-provoking. The Red Flame Battalion and the Holy Arrow Battalion, formed of temporary soldiers, were driven out of the city, while the soldiers of the dynasty would defend the city.
It was obvious that they didn’t want to leak the news of the Black Yellow Gas.
The Inspection Guard had appeared suddenly. They went to the pit rapidly to blockade the place.
“From now on, soldiers and generals below the fourth rank are forbidden from entering,” said the fair-skinned and beardless general of the Inspection Guard again. Then he suddenly noticed the exploitation vehicles that had been driven into the air, and he turned extremely pale.
“What’s going on?! Stop him. Quick!” The Inspection Guard dashed towards the exploitation vehicles right away.
“Hold on.” Zhao Wenhao stopped them, leading his Bright Moon Troop.
“General Zhao, what is this supposed to mean? Don’t you know how much the dynasty values this stuff?” The general of the Inspection Guard was rather polite to Zhao Wenhao.
“I know,” Zhao Wenhao said.
“So why did you allow the exploitation vehicles to leave? Who’s driving them anyway?”
“It’s Jiang Chen, the lieutenant of the Red Flame Battalion. He’s leaving for the warship with the Black Yellow Gas. According to him, it’s about the Dragon Rebel Army’s plan.” Zhao Wenhao stayed very calm and made up an excuse for Jiang Chen.
“How can a lieutenant of the seventh rank of the secondary class be responsible for such an important task?” The Inspection Guard seemed to have heard Jiang Chen’s name.
He was looking between Zhao Wenhao and Jiang Chen on the exploitation vehicle sharply.
“It’s about the country’s fate. General Zhao, you have to think it through,” he said meaningfully, as if he had detected something.
“I don’t know what you mean,” Zhao Wenhao said in a deep voice. “Call that Jiang Chen back. No exploitation vehicles are allowed to leave the city!”
A cold look flashed across Zhao Wenhao’s eyes briefly. He didn’t think the Inspection Guard would be able to stop Jiang Chen, but he wouldn’t be able to go against the army on his own.
“Guards, take this rule violator down!” The general of the Inspection Guard suddenly gave the order in a cold voice while pointing at Jiang Chen.
