Ma Minghao looked at Uncle Mo, who was covered in wounds, in front of him!

He couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears!

Uncle Mo is someone who watched them grow up!

It was just as important to him as the Commandant of the Prefecture!

He stubbornly continued to untie the rope!

Like Ma Minghao, those who were raised by Uncle Mo also clenched their fists, wanting to rush over!

But Bian Du stopped them all with his whip!

What do you want to do?

"Could it be that they really want to rebel?"

"Don't you even consider the people of Shanping County?"

His words successfully persuaded these people to stop. They could not act rashly now, as these people were deliberately provoking them!

Suddenly, a disdainful voice came from behind me!

"Bian Du! Don't stop them, let them pass. I want to see what they're up to. Are they trying to disobey orders?"

"Listen up, all of you! These people tied to the pillars are all disobedient and rebellious; they are criminals! Stay away from them!"

"Otherwise, you will be punished for the same crime!"

Ma Minghao paused for a moment, then whispered to Uncle Mo, "Wait for me," before turning to leave.

But as soon as he turned around, he was stopped by Pang Da's men!

Did I say you could leave?

Who do you think you are?

"Does he still think he's the adopted son of the Commandant of the Prefecture?"

"Without him, you are nothing!"

"Guards! Seize him and throw him in jail!"

"Severe torture!"

"I want to see who's instigating you to oppose me time and time again."

Ma Minghao knew he had been too reckless today, but he never expected Pang Da to throw him in jail!

He turned around and glared fiercely at Pangda!

But he was suddenly punched in the face by Bian Du!

"What are you looking at? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out!"

"Weren't you being pretty cocky just now?"

"I'll show you what's what!"

"I've looked down on you for a long time! You and your brother are just two freeloaders, swaggering around all day because of the Commandant's favor, but you've accomplished nothing!"

This punch also ignited Ma Minghao's anger!

He didn't care about anything else and immediately threw a punch back!

"You lackey!"

"What a waste that the Commandant treated you so well! How could you betray him!"

"Bian Du! Are you in such a hurry to make a name for yourself in front of your new master?!"

"I'm no match for you, so go ahead and kill me if you dare!"

Bian Du's eyes were bloodshot. He suddenly pulled out a dagger from his pocket and, taking advantage of Ma Minghao's unpreparedness, stabbed him hard in the arm!

While he was clutching his wound, she punched him in the face several more times, knocking him to the ground, and then straddled him!

He pressed his entire body weight onto Ma Minghao!

Then he raised the dagger high!

"Those who understand the times are wise!"

"If you're looking to die, don't drag others down with you!"

"However, I can grant your wish!"

After saying that, he was about to plunge the dagger into Ma Minghao's chest!

At the critical moment, it was stopped by a huge roar!

"Bian Du! Stop! He's still useful!"

Upon hearing the massive order, Bian Du immediately stopped what he was doing!

He stood up from Ma Minghao and spat at him!

"Bah! If it weren't for my master pleading for you, I would have killed you today!"

After saying this, he looked at Pangda with a pleading expression and walked towards him!

"Boss, how do I look?"

Pang Da nodded with a big smile!

"As expected of the Commandant's painstaking training, his martial arts are truly impressive!"

"Alright! I understand what you're thinking!"

"Don't worry, come with me! You'll definitely get what you deserve!"

Bian Du knelt on the ground, looking flattered and surprised!

"Thank you, boss! Boss! It's my good fortune to follow you!"

"Don't worry, from now on, if you tell me to go east, I'll never go west; if you tell me to beat a dog, I'll never scold a chicken!"

"I promise to do everything you ask of me perfectly well!"

His declaration of loyalty successfully disgusted the people around him. They never expected that their brothers, who had once shared life and death, would turn out like this!

Hearing these words made Pang Da feel particularly comforted, especially when he saw the fierce looks in the eyes of the people next to him, he was even happier!

He immediately ordered his men to reward him with some medicine for his injuries, as well as gold and silver jewelry!

"Bian Du! Work hard! You'll get much more than this in the future!"

"Come over and have dinner with us later! That means you're officially a member now!"

Bian Du smiled and kowtowed several more times!

"Boss is awesome! Boss is mighty!"

After Pang Da left, he ordered his men to lock Ma Minghao in the dungeon!

He's making a big deal out of nothing, preventing all the former confidants of the county commander from eating!

"Aren't you dissatisfied?"

"Then don't eat my boss's food!"

"You can eat it when you're convinced!"

The crowd below was immediately filled with resentment!

But Bian Du didn't care at all!

Pang Da listened to the servant's report with great interest, and inwardly looked at this border region with new respect!

He likes smart people like this. Yesterday, he only called this person over and gave him a few words of advice, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good!

This gave him more confidence in winning over these people!

What he didn't know was that at that very moment, both the able-bodied men and the soldiers were secretly discussing countermeasures!

But plans can't keep up with changes. Just as all the factions were figuring out how to respond, Prince Shun had already set up camp ten miles away from Shanping County!

The army of Prince Shun surrounded Shanping County!

The refugees at the gate of Shanping County were so frightened by the news that they all rushed over to open the gate and ask for help!

"Open the door! Let us in!"

"Prince Shun is here! Open the door! Otherwise we'll all die outside!"

"You heartless bastards!"

"Open the door!"

Bai Chengye didn't expect them to arrive so quickly. Seeing the refugees in complete chaos, he quickly arranged for people to tightly surround the elderly, women, and children inside to prevent them from taking advantage of the chaos to commit any murderous acts!

Those who remained were already harboring some regrets about why they had stayed! Although they regretted staying, they had no doubt that Lin Ru and the others had deliberately abandoned them outside!

Because among those who stayed behind were her relatives!

Now they can only hope that things go smoothly for Lin Ru and the others!

When Lin Ru and the others inside received this news, they were all completely stunned!

Didn't the governor say it would be at night?

Why did they surround it so early in the morning?

She was a little worried about Bai Chengye and the others outside!

The prefect was also in a terrible predicament at this time!

He hadn't expected that the information he received was wrong. The most crucial thing was that the refugees were making a fuss and insisted on coming in, almost breaking down the door!

They even killed the guards at the gate!

He knew that this was done intentionally by Prince Shun!
