"Jiang Yi, shut his mouth." Upon hearing this voice, the general's expression changed, but soon his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.

Because Pei Jiao knocked him unconscious, she was afraid that if she listened to him nagging for a few more words, she would not be able to help but kill him.

"Leave here quickly. If he doesn't show up for a few days, the military camp will naturally be in chaos." Jiang Yan was worried that something might happen if he stayed any longer, so he ordered Jiang Yi to carry his men and leave immediately.

Sure enough, they had only been away for half a minute when the people from the military camp caught up with them.

Xu Ning couldn't help but worry for them when watching on the surveillance camera. As soon as they got out of the canyon, it was surrounded by heavy troops.

"Ayan, you are still foresighted." Pei Jiao and others had just cleaned up their tail when they saw a group of soldiers pouring out of the canyon. If they encountered them head-on, they would probably not be able to escape.

"Let's go. We can't stay here for long." Now that those soldiers have come out, they will definitely send more people to patrol outside. Fortunately, Jiang Yan and Xu Ning's men have already withdrawn, otherwise it would be more troublesome at this time.

"Have you heard? It's said that the Jiang family has secretly stationed tens of thousands of soldiers in the mountains outside Wancheng!"

"More than tens of thousands! I heard it's over a hundred thousand!"

"Where did you hear that?"

"I heard from my relatives that he was arrested and barely escaped a while ago!"

"You must be kidding! With so many soldiers, how come he was the only one who escaped?"

"Believe it or not, the mountain is just outside the city. You can go and see it. I heard the canyon is now heavily guarded!"

"Is it true? If so, wouldn't Wancheng be in danger?" For several days, the teahouses and inns in Wancheng were discussing matters related to the military camp.

In order to verify the authenticity, people have been sent to investigate one after another, but none of them have come back.

This phenomenon made those who were originally skeptical about the news from the military camp gradually believe it.

There was a huge uproar in the court the day after receiving the news.

"Your Majesty, I am loyal to you. Someone must be trying to slander me! Your Majesty, I am innocent!" The head of the Jiang family burst into tears. After kneeling in the hall and kowtowed three times, his hair was disheveled. He looked a little old, and he stood tremblingly, as if he would faint at any time.

"Bah, you shameless old man! There are so many heavily armed guards outside the canyon. If it's not because there is a military camp inside, is there a gold mine inside?" The left prime minister, who had always been at odds with the head of the Jiang family, immediately retorted. The word "shameless old man" made the head of the Jiang family's face turn green with anger.

"Gold mine?" Hearing this word, many people's eyes immediately lit up! Their minds quickly became active.

The head of the Jiang family was so angry that his face turned black. The old Zuo Xiang just complained that there were too few people going to the canyon!

The new emperor sat leisurely on the dragon throne, watching the show. After the people below had finished arguing, he spoke indifferently: "Then let's investigate this matter thoroughly. Is there any minister who can help me relieve my worries?"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go!" General Pei stepped out from among the generals. As soon as he shouted, generals and civil officials immediately came to ask for orders.

Among them, the Jiang family was the most active.

"Your Majesty, General Pei is old and I'm afraid he can't stand such cold weather! Let me wait for the younger ones to go."

"Yes, General Pei has worked hard and made great contributions. It's time for him to enjoy his old age with his grandchildren. Let me wait."

Patriarch Jiang looked at the people below who were actively fighting for it, and his expression improved a little, but he was still anxious. The new emperor was becoming increasingly difficult to control, and he was worried...

"In that case, let Pei Aiqing's son Pei Yongjun go!"

"His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty! No!" The Jiang family members immediately panicked.

…

"I have made up my mind. The court is dismissed!" The new emperor didn't even look at her, sneered and left.
