Chapter 187 Seizing Power
Zhao Yingcai showed a smug smile on his face. As long as they ran away to a place where no one could find them, what could Pei Yian do to them?
He took away all the valuable things in the house. From then on, the sky was high and the sea was vast, and he could immediately embrace his own life without having to worry or be threatened.
Just as he was happily imagining a wonderful life in the future, several men in black appeared in front of him. They looked at the Zhao father and son and their entourage expressionlessly. These were probably the traitors that the young master mentioned.
"Who are you?" Zhao Yingcai's question went unanswered.
Traitors never have a good ending. Screams were heard from a remote and deserted alley...
Zhao Yingcai only thought that Pei Yian was alone, but he had no idea that he had an army of secret guards who obeyed his orders.
The secret guards came to Pei Yian with bags and bags to report. Pei Yian bowed respectfully and said, "Master, we have brought back all the things."
Pei Yian's eyes fell on these things and he said slowly: "Is it solved?"
Pei Yi: "It's resolved. Those people will never dare to do it again."
After all, the leader is almost dead, so how could he dare to come and cause trouble?
Pei Yian nodded but did not answer. The secret guards also lowered their heads and remained silent. They became more respectful in their hearts, feeling that this young master had more aura than the old young master.
It was Pei Yi who took the lead and broke the silence. He took the initiative to ask, "Master, what should we do next?"
Ever since they learned that the Pei family was confiscated and exiled, and that the old general and others died on the battlefield, these secret guards have been anxious and want to rescue the Pei family. However, they have the old general's order not to leave the border. If they are exposed, the consequences will only be more serious, so they can only live a difficult life in the border.
Fortunately, the young master was still there and was found successfully.
"Demobilize that great general and kill the barbarians." Pei Yian's eyes flashed with coldness when he said this.
The emperor is incompetent, and the general he sent is also a mediocre man who only knows how to talk about war on paper. Several cities have been lost. He is really a useless waste! @
"Yes!" There was excitement in the eyes of each of the secret guards. The brothers had been idle for too long and had not experienced the taste of the battlefield for a long time.
A few months later, heavy snow fell in the border areas and the temperature was so cold that people were shivering.
After several months of planning and scheming, Pei Yian changed his identity to Ji An and became the most trusted adviser of the current general Sima Gong. He also got in touch with his grandfather and father's once loyal subordinates.
Pei Yian looked at the white snow in front of him. The time was ripe, and it was time to seize power and seize the throne. Tonight was the best time to do it.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and he is waiting to go home and marry Sui Niang!
In the current military, Pei Yian has more power to issue orders than Sima Gong.
The rumors below naturally did not fall into the ears of General Sima Gong. He only knew that he had met a capable assistant, and several cities that had been lost were recaptured because of this person's operation.
This time he didn't have to worry about being punished by the emperor. God knows he was worried to death during that time. If the city was lost, he could lose his head in a matter of minutes.
Just when he was at a loss, the appearance of the strategist Ji An was like a ray of light in the darkness. He saved his head and also kept his position as general.
He had immense trust in this strategist. Without him, he would not be as successful and successful as he is today.
Another victory was won today. This time, not only did they recapture the lost city, but they also occupied a piece of land from the barbarians. Sima Gong wanted to treat everyone well, especially his strategist.
The atmosphere was peaceful and harmonious, with toasts flowing. Sima Gong was in high spirits and raised his glass towards Pei Yian. "Master Ji, I toast you with this glass of wine. You are the greatest hero. Just tell me what reward you want, and I will satisfy you!"
"What kind of reward is acceptable?"
"Yes, yes! You can have whatever you want!" Sima Gong boasted without hearing the hidden meaning in the other party's words, nor did he feel that there was something wrong in the atmosphere.
"Then I won't be polite!" Pei Yian said in a low voice, with a rare smile in his tone.
"Of course, jewelry, silks, beauties, fine wines, house deeds, as long as you want it, I can satisfy you!" Compared with his own head, these rewards are nothing.
"Then Ji will respectfully obey your command!" Pei Yian said and threw the wine cup in his hand to the floor.
“Bang!”
At this time, the music stopped and everyone was quietly listening to the conversation between the two people, which made the crisp sound of the wine glass breaking particularly obvious.
Sima Gong was stunned as he watched a group of people rushing towards him with swords. In a moment, these people surrounded him, and one of the swords was pointed directly at his neck.
His mind was still a little confused due to the alcohol, and he didn't know what was going on.
"You... who are you?" He asked carefully, fearing that the sword would be merciless and cut off his head directly.
But no one answered his question.
"Someone come, someone come quickly!" Sima Gong wanted the people around him to rescue him, but those who got off their seats basically stood still, as if they couldn't see what was happening on his side at all.
Pei Yian slowly stood up. Sima Gong looked at him as if he was looking for a savior. He said to Pei Yian, "Master Ji, come and save me quickly. I will reward you handsomely!"
"General Sima, I have thought of some reward I should ask for. Your position as a general is quite good."
"You...what do you mean? Are you trying to rebel?" Sima Gong realized something was wrong at this time. After Ji An smashed the wine glass, these people rushed in. This was obviously a signal!
"You said it, General. I can give you whatever reward you want. Do you think you can go back on your word?"
"I...you...you are simply a traitor!" Sima Gong wanted to point at Pei Yian's nose and scold him. He said that he would reward the other party, but he never expected that the other party would be suspicious and covet his position!
Just as he stretched out his hand towards Pei Yian, another sword was unsheathed and pointed at his arm, as if ready to chop off his arm at any time.
Seeing this, Sima Gong dared not act rashly and could only use his eyes to hint to the other subordinates present, hoping that they would rescue him.
But no one dared to take over and respond to him. Everyone knew that in this military camp, the most powerful person was not General Sima, but Advisor Ji.
