His face was being trampled on by Cheng Muyun; how could he possibly stand it?
Cheng Muyun smiled calmly, as if he had been waiting for a long time, "Alright, let's see if you have the ability."
No sooner had Cheng Muyun finished speaking than a gunshot rang out from an unknown direction.
The bullet was swift and unstoppable. By the time everyone reacted, Cheng Muyun was already clutching his shoulder, wincing in pain.
The Dongzhou army quickly surrounded Cheng Muyun and pulled him into their encirclement.
Everyone rushed out, set up their guns, and were ready to fire, creating a terrifying scene.
"A special envoy to Nanjing, in a position of authority, actually ordered his subordinates to fire shots from the shadows!"
Seeing the atmosphere plummet to freezing point, Lan Qingyi stood frozen in place, because he had not ordered anyone to fire a shot.
But he had no time to react, because the Dongzhou army had already charged up.
The gunfight began in that instant.
The once clean ground was now stained red with blood. Before the bugle call to charge even sounded, the Dongzhou army had already rushed forward as if their lives depended on it.
Lan Qing's men were caught off guard; all of his adjutants were knocked down, and he was left without anyone to protect him.
The sound of artillery shells filled my ears, blood was everywhere I looked, and darkness blocked out the sky above.
Lan Qingyi jumped off the car, but was knocked down by his own men as soon as his feet touched the ground. He simply scrambled out on all fours, disregarding his dignity and self-respect.
As he crawled, a pair of brand-new military boots appeared in front of him, and his terrified face was reflected in the toes of the boots.
Looking up from the silver chain on the military boots, you see slender calves, and then, looking up again, you see the silver buttons on the military uniform gleaming, and Cheng Muyun's smiling face.
Lan Qingyi's expression instantly turned to terror. Her mouth opened wide, but before she could utter a shrill scream, Cheng Muyun knocked her unconscious with the butt of his gun.
When Lan Qingyi was awakened by a basin of water, she was shocked to find herself bound hand and foot, her mouth covered, and lying on the ground like a caterpillar.
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Cheng Muyun's face. He wanted to shout but couldn't. As he half-squatted and wriggled, he realized that he had changed into Cheng Muyun's military uniform.
Lan Qingyi's eyes were filled with disbelief as she looked at Cheng Muyun in horror.
When he saw that Cheng Muyun was completely unharmed, he knew that it was all a trap set by Cheng Muyun.
Cheng Muyun had changed into an ordinary military uniform and slowly walked to Lan Qingyi's side, stopping his feet in front of Lan Qingyi's face.
"To make sure Secretary Lan dies knowing the truth, I'll tell you that I arranged for the person who shot her in the back, and I've already taken down the person who attacked the Dongzhou army camp from behind."
Lan Qingyi had participated in wars large and small. Although she could not be called a strategist, she had never been led by the nose by Cheng Muyun like this before, or even fallen into his trap.
He was just a young marshal who had hardly participated in any wars except for suppressing bandits. How could he be so amazing?
Fear and resentment were evident in Lan Qingyi's eyes.
Cheng Muyun took it all in and a victorious smile appeared on his face.
"Blame it on you for insisting on touching this hot potato. Since the higher-ups insist on my death, I will atone with my death. From now on, Cheng Muyun will no longer exist in this world."
Cheng Muyun's eyes fell on Lan Qingyi's military uniform, and he reached out to straighten Lan Qingyi's collar.
"However, it's a pity that Secretary Lan died in my place. When we get to the underworld, I'll burn paper money for you. Don't forget to collect it."
