This is too naive.

Shaking his head, Pei Yun ignored it.

The next day, Zhao Cheng, the commander of the Yulin Guard, led two thousand elite soldiers and marched to Ruifeng Qianhu Suo in a mighty manner.

He rode on a tall horse with an arrogant look on his face, holding the imperial edict high in his hand. Behind him were soldiers in bright armor, holding swords and spears like a forest, looking very aggressive.

"Pei Yun, accept the order!" Zhao Cheng shouted loudly, and his voice echoed in the valley.

The gate of Qianhu Suo was closed tightly, and on the city wall, everyone was watching coldly with no awe on their faces. Zhao Cheng frowned, feeling unhappy - how dare these people be so rude?

"Pei Yun! The imperial edict is here, why don't you open the door and kneel to receive it?!"

Pei Yun appeared on the city wall, and Mu Lan said, "This man is Zhao Cheng, the commander of the imperial guards."

Pei Yun said, "Commander Zhao, announcing an imperial decree is a job for eunuchs. Why are you asked to do this? Are you a eunuch too?"

Everyone on the city wall burst into laughter.

Zhao Cheng was immediately furious, but he thought that the purpose of this trip was to use courtesy before force. After all, Pei Yun was a meritorious official, and if he wanted to attack him, he had to have a legitimate reason.

He unfolded the imperial edict and read aloud:

"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: Pei Yun, the captain of Ruifeng, has disobeyed the Emperor's orders, secretly stored military equipment, and has evil intentions, and is guilty of treason!

I will now strip him of his official position and bring him to the capital for questioning! All military affairs of the Qianhu Division will be handed over to the Yulin Guards!

If anyone disobeys, he will be killed without mercy! This is my order! "

After reading the imperial edict, Zhao Cheng stared at Pei Yun coldly: "Pei Yun, why don't you open the door and confess your guilt?!"

Pei Yun said calmly: "Go back and tell Xiao Yu that if he wants me, Pei Yun, to plead guilty, it depends on whether he can take down my Qianhu Division."

"Pei Yun, do you really want to rebel?" Zhao Cheng asked in a cold voice.

"Nonsense, I will follow you to face the punishment if I don't rebel. Go away, your two thousand men are not enough for me to fight. No matter how many people the imperial court sends, I, Pei Yun, will accompany you to the end!"
