Chapter 791 Young General vs. Rich Lady 94
Peng Haichang came out with a stack of imperial edicts, looking embarrassed, "You said before that we don't need to care about Wangdu. The imperial edicts were sent one after another, and other generals were impatient to deal with them, so they all sent them to me."
"Including the one yesterday, there have been five imperial edicts summoning you back to Wangdu. The previous imperial edicts praised you and Marshal Huo, and rewarded Marshal Huo for his merits and restored his stripped title. The latest one has already reprimanded you for not obeying the summons. You are worthy of death. I'm afraid they will send troops to ask you to return next."
Huo Xiao sneered, "I see among all the civil and military officials in the court, who has the courage to invite me? You are a bunch of good-for-nothings. Don't pay any attention to them. Let's talk about how Wangdu is going to fight against Qi and Lu."
Peng Haichang looked at the general's face and whispered, "There is no solution. I will just ask General Lu Yongxin from Guangling City to take over Pingyang City and let you go back to receive your reward."
"Wangdu City means that if you don't go back, reinforcements won't arrive. Even if the three kingdoms attack Pingyang City together, they won't care!"
Zhao Hai, who had a bad temper, immediately went to settle accounts with the envoys from Wangdu, "What the hell? Are they crazy? It's already difficult to resist the Northern Rong, and they want us to be besieged by the three countries?"
"With Pingyang City gone, what good can they get? Half of Wei's territory will be handed over to the Beirong people!"
Zhuo Zhantu helped Zhao Hai. He was originally from Wangdu, so he naturally knew the nature of those people.
"It's useless for you to kill a few minions. You will only be charged with the crime of killing an official appointed by the imperial court. The people in Wangdu will not change their minds. Anyway, they can't attack Wangdu for a while, so they don't care about these things. They only want to hold on to the power in their hands."
Zhao Hai was very angry, "I won't kill him! I'm afraid of dirtying my hands, so I'll just beat him up to vent my anger!"
Seeing his elder brother's warning look, Zhao Hai lost his temper and muttered, "I feel sorry for General Huo too. We've worked so hard, but they don't help us. Instead, they try to trip us up. Aren't we protecting the Wei Kingdom? Aren't the people in Pingyang the people of the Wei Kingdom?"
"They are using these people to force General Huo, so why not just lead the troops to attack Wangdu..."
"Shut up!" Zhao Shan yelled at his brother, but he was obviously not really angry. "You are so careless with your words. It's fine to say it among family members, but don't say it outside."
Huo Xiao deduced the sand table and said calmly: "Don't worry, it's not the right time yet. There will always be that day."
Peng Haichang's eyes widened, not daring to breathe. What did he hear? Was General Huo really planning a rebellion?
Zhuo Zhantu had guessed it long ago and his face remained expressionless.
Peng Haichang looked around and it seemed that everyone was very calm, which made him look like he was making a fuss out of nothing.
Huo Xiao wrote a letter, stamped it with his private seal, and handed it to Xu Sheng. "Send it to Guangling City and make sure it is delivered to Lu Yongxin. I ask General Lu to assist the Huo family army and stop the Lu army."
"We have some old friendship, it just depends on whether he is willing to help."
Peng Haichang asked cautiously: "What if you don't want to?"
Huo Xiao patted Peng Haichang on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I won't attack anyone unless they attack me. As long as he doesn't attack Pingyang City, I won't touch him."
"If the day comes when we have a falling out, you can leave if you don't want to follow me. You have done a great job in defending the city, so I will not treat you unfairly. You can only take your weapons, but I can give you gold, silver, jewelry, food, and cloth."
Peng Haichang knelt on one knee, "No! I won't leave! You saved my mother's life. If I betray you, am I still a human being? No matter where you want to fight, I will listen to you!"
Everyone dispersed, and the voice of the god came from the bronze mirror, which was very angry!
"Bah! What a bullshit imperial edict! It's all bullshit! They are forcing you into a dead end step by step. How insidious!"
"I'll go stock up some food and weapons for you. They will definitely be useful when you take over Guangling City in the future."
Ji Yunhuan was driving to go for purchasing, but halfway through the journey he received a call from the project manager saying that there was trouble in the old town project.
It was hard to explain over the phone. Since she was in charge of the project, she had to be there if anything happened. So Ji Yunhuan turned around and went to the project department.
A lot of people have gathered at the entrance of the project department. The area is densely populated and most of the residents are retired elderly people. Any small matter can cause a sensation, let alone such a big thing.
"I heard he fell from the scaffolding. Oh my god, there was blood all over the floor. It was so bloody!"
"There was a lot of blood and everyone fainted!"
"Someone died here! It's so scary! The ambulance is here! I've lived here for decades, and this is the first time I've encountered something like this."
"Ah? Someone really died? I said the old house was good to live in, but you insisted on renovating it. Now something bad has happened, right?"
"I didn't agree to the reconstruction in the first place. There is a dragon spirit under the ground. We can't disturb it..."
The onlookers' comments became more and more outrageous, and the situation was already developing in the direction of metaphysics.
Ji Yunhuan could only park the car outside and squeeze in with all his might, "Please make way! Please make way!"
Lu Yichen came to pick her up and finally rescued her from the crowd.
"What happened? No one was killed, right?"
Lu Yichen, who was wearing a white business suit, wiped the sweat off his forehead and whispered, "No, but the person was really injured. I called an ambulance, but the person refused to get in the car or get treatment. He insisted on seeing the big boss, swearing and using foul language."
"The project manager and other leaders have arrived, but he is still making a fuss and refuses to go to the hospital."
A young man with a scar on his forehead and a fierce face was sitting on the ground. He was waving a folding knife and shouting, not letting the people in the ambulance get close.
There was a pool of blood on the ground, not much. The injured part should be the leg, but it was blocked by the pants, so the wound could not be seen clearly.
The man was wearing the work clothes for the project and had an ID card with the words "Bricklayer, Zheng Hui" written on it.
The project manager advised kindly, "Go to the hospital to check your wound first. Once we find out the facts, if it is really the project department's fault, we will definitely compensate you according to the law. We are such a big company, we will not cheat you."
"If you don't get treatment, your minor injury will turn into a major one. This is your fault. The ambulance is here, and we are doing this for your own good."
Zheng Hui brandished a dagger, drove away a nurse who was approaching, and shouted: "I won't leave! Who knows where you are going to take me? Now I only hurt my leg. If you take me to some shady workshop to have my heart and kidneys dug out, I will lose my life!"
"Don't try to hurt me, get out! You are all in the same group, I don't trust you!"
The nurse also got angry. "We are Hanyuan City First People's Hospital. It's written on the ambulance. I see that you are still very strong and not seriously injured."
Zheng Hui roared, "My leg is broken! I will be a cripple for the rest of my life! You must want to fool me and suppress the matter, but I won't leave. I want all the reporters to watch and let you guys make the decision for me."
"Your project department has money, so compensate me one million now, or I will never let you go!"
