"Your Majesty, why do you want to deal with Pei Yun?"
"Pei Yun has made great contributions in defending Anding City, but the court has not yet rewarded him, but is now attacking him. Isn't this disheartening to the meritorious officials?"
In the court, Mu Xiong spoke.
Xiao Yu said calmly: "Pei Yun disobeyed the order, which is tantamount to treason. He was asked to hand over the equipment, but he refused to do so. This is clearly a sinister intention."
"Your Majesty, I guarantee with my life that Pei Yun is definitely not such a person."
“That’s enough!”
Xiao Yu patted the dragon chair and stood up. "I have made up my mind. Pass on my decree to strip Pei Yun of all his official positions and have him escorted to the capital for questioning immediately! Send the Imperial Guards to take over the Ruifeng Thousand Households Office. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiong's eyes widened. He suddenly pulled off the jade belt from his waist and slammed it onto the gold bricks in front of the hall.
He pointed at Xiao Yu who was sitting on the dragon throne and said in a thunderous voice, "If the emperor wants to kill the meritorious officials, he should step over my body first!"
Xiao Yu's face turned pale, "Mu Xiong! Do you really think I dare not kill you?!"
"Come on!" Mu Xiong laughed, "Let everyone in the world see that the first thing the new king does when he ascends the throne is to kill the veteran who has been guarding the border for thirty years!"
"Drag him away and put him in the prison. Anyone who dares to visit him without my order will be punished with the same crime!"
A guard came up and took Mu Xiong away.
There was dead silence in the hall. No one expected Mu Xiong to contradict the emperor like this.
Seeing Xiao Yu's angry look, others did not dare to plead for mercy.
Eunuch Li was feeling very proud. He had finally achieved his wish and became the chief eunuch of the imperial palace. Now that the emperor wanted to take action against Pei Yun, he was the happiest person.
When the time comes, catch Pei Yun and make him kneel down and beg for mercy, then see if he still acts arrogantly.
…
In the Qianhu Suo, Pei Yun trained his troops as usual.
As the craftsmen became more proficient in the process, the speed of producing muskets increased.
All 1,000 men have been equipped with muskets, and half of their time is usually spent on training in firing, loading, and changing positions.
It also greatly improved everyone's proficiency in using muskets.
In addition, Pei Yun also modified the bomb. It was no longer a clay jar, but a tin bomb with a stronger explosive power.
On this day, Mu Lan rushed to the Qianhu Suo.
"Brother Pei, something happened!"
"What's wrong?"
Mu Lan's eyes flashed with anxiety: "My father was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison by the Emperor! The Emperor also issued an order to deprive you of your official position and send the Imperial Guards to take over the Qianhu Division!"
Pei Yun's face darkened.
Mu Lan bit her lip and continued, "Father argued for you in the court and contradicted the emperor, and was arrested on the spot. Now no one in the court dares to speak for you. I'm afraid the Yulin Guards are on the way!"
Pei Yun said coldly: "Then let them come."
Mu Lan asked: "Brother Pei, do you really want to rebel?"
"It was the Emperor who forced me to do it."
"But how can you, with so few men, defeat the imperial court?"
Pei Yun said: "We have to try to know whether we can win or not."
When Xiao Yu became emperor, Pei Yun guessed that this day might come, so he never slacked off in the training of Chang Wei and the others.
Ye Jinghong and Ye Zhaoyuan have found a rare herb from overseas and brought it back. After Pei Yun took it, he has become a second-rate warrior.
Lu Jingxuan and Ye Youlan have reunited and become husband and wife.
In this way, Cangjian Villa is also his helper. Although there are not many people, each of them is a master.
There were also 300 death warriors from the Misty Rain Tower. Pei Yun also gave them muskets and asked them to practice.
He is not afraid even if a fight really breaks out.
He turned and walked towards the training ground, shouting loudly: "Everyone assemble!"
The soldiers quickly lined up and stood in awe. Pei Yun glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, the court is going to take action against us!"
The crowd was in an uproar, and someone angrily asked, "Why? We are defending our land and fighting the enemy, what crime have we committed?"
Pei Yun raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more. I just want to ask you if you are afraid!"
Everyone laughed.
Chang Wei said loudly: "I, Chang Wei, have never been afraid in my life."
"That's right. Since the imperial court is going to attack us, we just need to confront them."
"Brother, just say the word and we brothers will fight wherever you point us."
“…”
Everyone spoke up.
Pei Yun smiled and said, "If that's the case, then let's rebel today!"
"Brother, you should have done this a long time ago. You are the reincarnation of an immortal. Why are you helping the Xiao family to conquer the world?"
"That's right, this kingdom belongs to big brother!"
"Brother, can I be a great general?"
"You are a worthless general. If anything needs to be done, I will be the one to do it."
"Don't you agree? Come on, let's have a fight. Whoever wins will be the general."
The crowd was in a noisy state, not at all panicked by the fact that the imperial court was coming to attack them.
Mu Lan was stunned as he watched from the side. What kind of people were these?
You are considered traitors and the imperial court is coming to attack you. Aren't you panicking?
Pei Yun knew that this group of idiots was just like this, and he was too lazy to care about them. He said to Mu Lan: "Do you want to stay here or go back to Anding City?"
"I...I'll stay here. General Zhang and his men are enough in Anding City."
"Okay then, Qingqiu, go arrange a room for Miss Mu and show her around."
"Miss Mu, come with me."
After saying that, he took Mu Lan away, and Pei Yun asked Xu Zong to investigate where the Yulin Guards were.
A day later, Xu Zong came back.
"Boss, the Imperial Guards have already arrived in Ruifeng County."
"How many people are there?"
"About two thousand."
Pei Yun raised his eyebrows. It was so little. How much did Xiao Yu look down on him? He didn't think that I would really obey his orders and let these Yulin guards escort me back to the capital.
