"Rebellious?" Lin Mo asked excitedly.

"Your Highness, Yang Fei and his men have rebelled!"

"Great! You old bastard Yang, we've finally driven you to rebellion!" Lin Mo suddenly stood up. "I never expected you, you scoundrel, to be so patient and only rebelled after all this time!"

These remarks made Qiao Shan and Zhao Zhen laugh.

They've never seen a prince like you, so eager for others to rebel.

Yao Guangxiao stood up with a half-smile. "General Qiao, General Zhao, and General Qin, do you know what to do?"

"Understood!" Qiao Shan and the other two bowed and then strode away.

In Xichuan City today, Lin Mo is practically a local tyrant, and Yao Guangxiao is the "prime minister"!

After the three of them had walked away, Yao Guangxiao asked with a smile, "Your Highness, if Yang Fei and the others want to surrender, will you kill them or spare their lives?"

"You're going to spare them all? Are you crazy?" Lin Mo retorted. "The soldiers can be spared, but every single officer must be killed!"

"Your Majesty understands!"

"I'll leave the rest to you. I'm tired and need to lie down for a while!"

Yao Guangxiao frowned. "Sleeping again?"

Since he was summoned to this world, Lin Mo has been tired at the drop of a hat and sleeps whenever he has the chance.

Then everything was handed over to Yao Guangxiao, which could be described as treating Yao Guangxiao like an iron man.

Due to the system's settings, loyalty is maxed out and will never decrease.

What to do? Just do it!

Lin Mo knew that his state was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, and he couldn't possibly explain it to his subordinates.

"I sleep so that our power can grow stronger, so that we can exchange for the next talent to work for you!" Lin Mo said with emotion.

Then, he skillfully returned to his room, set a time, and went to sleep!

At this moment, Xichuan City was in complete chaos.

Yang Fei quickly dispatched men to capture the four city gates at top speed, and ordered that no one was allowed to enter or leave Xichuan City. The sound of his soldiers running quickly through the streets and the rustling of their armor made the children in the city afraid to cry.

The people watched in astonishment as they witnessed what was happening before their eyes. Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, they knew in their hearts that another war was about to break out.

Looking at Lin Mo's side, it seemed that Yang Fei had caught him off guard.

The soldiers under the command of the King of Shu offered little resistance and were captured by Yang Fei.

At this moment, Yang Fei's men were all dumbfounded. Was this King of Shu just a paper tiger?

How can it be so fragile?

Many officials who had just gone to the Prince's Palace to self-criticize and repent are now turning against him again.

They actively contacted Yang Fei, and many officials even led their servants and guards to help Yang Fei start his uprising.

Seeing this, Yao Guangxiao smiled faintly, "Everything is under control!"

He wanted to throw Xichuan City into chaos and make Yang Fei go too far.

The people's hard-won good days were ruined again by Yang Fei, and they felt resentment in their hearts.

At this point, by eliminating Lin Mo as the King of Shu, one can not only remove a thorn in one's side but also win over the hearts of the people.

The rebellion lasted all morning before Qiao Shan and his two companions led their soldiers to quell it.

According to Yao Guangxiao's plan, the troops split into two groups. Qin Zhixing took one group to recapture the eastern gate of Xichuan, while Qiao Shan and Zhao Zhen took the other group to assist in the defense of the armory.

Looking at the chaos on both sides of the street, Zhao Zhen felt a little heavy-hearted.

A fire broke out in the city, with wisps of black smoke billowing and rising into the azure sky.

"Sir, spare my life!"

"Please, I beg you! This grain is our family's food supply for half a year! If you take it away, how are we supposed to survive?"

"Sir, this is all the grain my family has left, and it was all given to us by the Prince. Please don't take it away!"

"Let go of my daughter! If you have a problem, come at me!"

"Damn scum, you are unworthy to be soldiers of the Great Xia! I'll fight you to the death!"

Yang Fei's rebellion plunged Xichuan City into chaos.

The people who bullied the common people were probably not Yang Fei's soldiers, but just some local thugs and ruffians who took the opportunity to make a quick buck.

But it caused suffering to the unarmed civilians.

Zhao Zhen had a kind heart, and upon seeing this, he immediately stepped forward to stop it.

Qiao Shan heard Zhao Zhen shout. The perpetrators mocked him, and one of them even yelled back.

With a flash of his single-edged sword, Zhao Zhen sent the man's head rolling off his shoulder to the ground.

The laughter turned into curses, and the men drew their weapons. However, Zhao Zhen's men had already arrived by then.

The rebellious soldiers fled in panic.

Continuing onward, the city center was in even worse shape than before, with many houses ablaze.

Yang Fei's men carried out their bloody work, filling the narrow, winding alleyways with corpses.

Along the way, they frequently witnessed women being raped. Each time, Zhao Zhen would rein in the horses and, together with his men, step forward to stop the rapes. He would then have the civilians follow behind the troops to protect their safety.

"General Zhao, we can't protect them while we're fighting!" his subordinates reminded them as they stopped for the fifth time.

"As officers of the Great Xia, protecting the people is our duty!" Zhao Zhen replied. "This general knows what we should and shouldn't do; there's no need for further explanation!"

On the other side of the city, a building collapsed amidst flames and thick smoke. Zhao Zhen heard screams and the terrified sobs of children coming from afar.

"The armory is just ahead; the main rebel force must be there!" Qiao Shan shouted.

Soon after, they arrived at the armory.

At this moment, the two sides had already clashed, with Xu Qing commanding the rebel army to launch a fierce attack on the armory.

The clanging of cold iron and the shouts of the soldiers mingled together.
