"But you all know the current situation!"
"We're beset by internal and external troubles! Let's work together to solve the external problems first!"
Uncle Mo didn't expect Ma Minghao to say that!
He opened his mouth, as if trying to explain something, but in the end, he didn't say a single word!
Just walk silently ahead!
It wasn't until Ma Minghao escorted them inside and was about to leave that he said, "Minghao! I'm getting old! I just want you to take good care of your lives!"
"However, it seems you don't want to follow our lead!"
"In that case, go for it!"
Ma Minghao nodded and left. As soon as he stepped out the door, he saw two people blocking the entrance to the camp, and those two people looked somewhat familiar!
He walked over quickly!
I overheard their conversation!
"Officers, please have mercy! We're here to see Lord Ji!"
The two guards at the door waved their hands impatiently!
"We don't have any officials with the surname Ji here! This is a military camp, you should leave immediately!"
"Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"
Wu Shui and Wu Yun exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of confusion in each other's eyes!
Just as they were about to force their way in!
They saw Ma Minghao walking towards them!
Wu Yun waved happily at him!
"Lord Ma! We were sent by Miss Lin! We have something important to tell you!"
"They won't let us in!"
"Could you please take us inside to see Lord Ji?"
Wu Shui waved back at him, but he had more on his mind!
"Lord Ma! Have you seen Lord Ji?! You mean Magistrate Ji Wenxuan?"
"I see you have injuries. Could something have happened?"
Upon hearing that it was Miss Lin, Ma Minghao quickened his pace!
He waved to the two people at the door!
"Let these two in. I know these people! They are the new subordinates of Lord Ji!"
"Lord Ji was sent here by his superiors to temporarily replace the Commandant of the Prefecture!"
Upon hearing this, the guards at the gate immediately let them through!
"Alright! Since you've spoken, Brother Ma, we certainly can't refuse you!"
"But these are special times, and we must keep a close eye on these two!"
Ma Minghao smiled and nodded!
Wu Shui and the other person immediately came in!
The three of them went back to Ma Minghao's house together!
When the two of them saw Ji Wenxuan lying on the bed!
Everyone looked surprised!
"Lord Ji, what happened to you? Who injured you?"
Ji Wenxuan lay on the bed and shook his head weakly.
"Sigh! It's a long story. Tell me why your young lady sent you all here!"
Wu Shui nodded!
First, he opened the door and looked around. Seeing that no one was watching him, he returned and briefly recounted what had happened at the prefect's residence.
When Ma Minghao heard their words, he was so surprised that he almost jumped up!
"What did you say? Is it true? The prefect and that Assistant Prefect Shi are both dead!?"
"My goodness! Miss Lin, you are truly a heroine among men and women!"
"You guys are amazing! It's only been a few days!"
Ji Wenxuan never expected that the situation would change so drastically in just one night. It seems that his progress has slowed down considerably!
He also briefly recounted his own experience!
This time, it was Wu Shui and his companion's turn to be dumbfounded!
"You mean... you got beaten up before you even had a chance to do anything!?"
"Oh my god, what should we do?"
"There are so many people in this military camp! If they were all like Zhang Fan, they wouldn't be of much use!"
Ma Minghao was also a little embarrassed!
"I'm so sorry!? I was also a little injured, so I didn't notice!"
At this moment, Wu Fei, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up: "Why don't we just give up on the people in the military camp? I've already basically made contact with the conscripts!"
"We are just waiting for your command, Miss!"
Hei Meng echoed with admiration, "Brother Wu Fei is truly amazing! He hasn't rested since we arrived! In just a few days, he's managed to subdue all those able-bodied men!"
"Now all that's missing is the military camp!"
Ji Wenxuan lay on the bed deep in thought, "Actually, the military camp might not be as troublesome as we imagine!"
"Brother Ma, could you please gather everyone together?"
"I have something to say to them!"
Ma Minghao looked at his injuries with some difficulty.
"Is your body capable of handling this?"
Ji Wenxuan forced himself to sit up!
"We have to do it, no matter what! Miss Lin has paved the way! We must act quickly! Otherwise, once Prince Shun loses his patience, we'll be fish on a chopping board, at his mercy!"
Ma Minghao finally made up his mind to gather everyone in the army!
In no time at all!
He then came in and helped Ji Wenxuan out!
Ji Wenxuan looked at the huge crowd outside!
An indescribable heaviness filled my heart!
He had to win these people over to his side; he couldn't let them die in vain!
So he endured the pain, let go of Ma Minghao's hand, and walked to the high platform alone!
"I'm sure everyone is very curious! Who am I, and why have I called you all here?"
"Now listen carefully! I will answer all your questions!"
"My name is Ji Wenxuan! I am the magistrate of Huiwu County! I have also been entrusted by the prefect to temporarily serve as the commandery commandant of Shanping County!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a chorus of discussion arose from below!
"Is this guy joking or something?!"
"Him? And he's a commandery officer?!"
"He's the governor's man!?"
"Why didn't you kill him?"
"Yes! He actually has the nerve to talk here..."
A chorus of shouts of battle erupted below!
Looking at their state, Ji Wenxuan's eyes were filled with disappointment!
"Quiet down, everyone!"
The people below don't listen to him!
Finally, Wu Fei roared, "Shut up if you don't want to die!"
His voice was infused with inner strength!
Everyone in the audience could hear it clearly, and the source of the sound seemed to be right next to their ears!
They were immediately intimidated by the man's strength!
Ji Wenxuan quickly seized the opportunity to continue speaking!
"That's right! If you don't want to die, shut up! Look at the state you've all become!"
"Only thinking about each doing their own thing!?"
"If you kill me, will you yourselves become the county commandant?"
"Or should we just wait for the former county commandant to return?"
"Are the people no longer safe?"
"Is Prince Shun no longer going to intervene?"
"Is this how they're going to fight amongst themselves every day?!"
“Every grain of food you eat was grown with great effort by Shanping County!”
"They themselves are starving and selling their children, yet they still pay grain taxes to feed you all, making you all fat and bloated!"
