After Wearing a Book, I Pampered Five Big Villains

Chapter 403 The arrow is on the string

The fifth prince still couldn't make up his mind, and said anxiously: "You let me think again, think again..."

Xiao Ruoyun's heart sank, following such a master to do things, it's hard to become a master!

the next day.

The old emperor was furious in the early court, and Longyan yelled pointedly: "The princess of a country was besieged by soldiers in Jingdu County. You don’t care about the princess!”

All the courtiers were silent, and no one dared to say anything.

The fifth prince broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect his father to get the news of Princess Leping so quickly. Hearing his father's tone, it was clear that he wanted to strictly investigate and deal with those who raised private soldiers.

He is dead!

"How dare a small Wanshou County be so arrogant! I want to see whose power he is taking advantage of!" The old emperor was furious, and immediately appointed a doctor from the Ministry of War to investigate the situation in Wanshou County.

The fifth prince was sweating like a waterfall, and his back was wet with sweat.

If the imperial court sends people to investigate, the barracks will definitely be exposed.

He's done...

The fifth prince was terrified, feeling hopeless.

The court was over, he was going to leave, but the old emperor stopped him again—even the fourth prince and other princes.

A group of princes stood together, lowered their heads and listened to the old emperor's reprimand and got angry.

The fifth prince became more and more uneasy. He knew that his father was trying to test them—he wanted to see who had raised soldiers in Wanshou County.

The sixth prince, that useless thing, cried in fright, knelt on the ground, snotted his nose and cried and swore that he would never raise a heavy soldier privately.

The seventh prince and the eighth prince didn't have much courage either. When they saw Lao Liu crying, they were so frightened that they cried too.

The fifth prince saw that all his brothers were crying, and he suddenly lost his psychological burden.

He was more terrified than anyone else, so he knelt down on the ground and cried, swearing that this matter had absolutely nothing to do with him.

The fourth prince originally wanted to be tough, but when he saw that a group of brothers were pretending to be weak and shirking responsibility, he knew that he couldn't be tough today.

He pondered for a while, and then began to cry, explaining in tears that he was never sorry for Princess Leping, never.

When the old emperor saw a group of sons crying in front of him, he felt very annoyed and said angrily, "Get out!"

As a result, the princes all rolled away.

Back to the mansion, the Fifth Prince couldn't hold on any longer.

He immediately went to find Xiao Ruoyun, and said in a trembling voice: "Shiro, you are right, there is only one way to go now. But how should this road be taken?"

Xiao Ruoyun couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard that the fifth prince was determined to force the palace. He whispered: "The 20,000 soldiers and horses should be waiting outside the imperial city right now."

The Fifth Prince said uneasy and confused: "These soldiers are still in Wanshou County. If they leave, there will be a lot of noise. If the county government is alarmed, then the matter will be over."

Xiao Ruoyun thought seriously: "So we must first control the Wanshou county government, and not let the county government spoil our affairs."

The fifth prince began to shrink back again, and said anxiously: "The county magistrate of Wanshou County is now Pei Sanlang—he is Pei Xiangguo's son. If I touch him, won't I be an enemy of Pei Xiangguo?"

"Pei Sanlang was kicked out of the Pei Mansion a long time ago, and now he has nothing to do with the Pei Mansion." Xiao Ruoyun explained helplessly, "Besides, Your Highness, you have been at odds with Pei Xiangguo a long time ago, and now you are still afraid of him Retaliation?"

The fifth prince calmed down now, and ordered in a deep voice: "Then let people control the county government..."

The other end.

Wanshou County.

"Second Lord, Princess Leping broke into the county government office with a group of guards last night." The guard Zhufeng reported in a low voice, "According to the spies, all of them were injured."

Xiao Junlin listened and fell silent.

Who is so bold as to attack Princess Leping, and even wounded the imperial guards—there may be only one reason, and that is that Princess Leping broke into the forbidden military training area. The group of military masters did not reveal their location, so they made a ruthless attack?

If this is the case, I am afraid that this group of private soldiers will not be able to keep their peace for long...

Xiao Junlin thought about it carefully, and said with a light smile: "Zhufeng, pack your luggage, we should go back to our hometown."

Zhufeng didn't understand what he meant, but he didn't dare to ask further questions.

Xiao Junlin saw that he was panicking, and reminded him in a low voice: "The capital is going to be in chaos."

Zhufeng felt even more confused, secretly thinking that the capital is not in good shape, where is it going to be chaotic?

But the confusion was the confusion, Zhufeng didn't ask aloud - what things can be asked and what things can't be asked, he knows in his heart.

Soon, the master and the servant packed their bags and got on the carriage.

Xiao Junlin raised the curtains of the car and glanced outside, then calmly lowered the curtains.

He smiled and said: "At this time, my eldest brother is still staying in the county government office. It seems that he wants to die in love with Pei Sanlang."

A few days later.

The county government was surrounded.

Pei Yi looked at the soldiers pouring into the government office, feeling very complicated.

Some things, she had already expected, but she didn't dare to think about them deeply——when she thought about them, she felt chills in her heart.

That day, Huo Yuan refused to let her check the location of the fifth prince's private soldiers, so she was thinking: Maybe, Huo Yuan didn't even think about finding out where the soldiers were stationed and controlling these private soldiers—he just wanted to wait and see what happened, Even wishing for private soldiers to rebel.

As long as the fifth prince leads his troops to rebel, everything will be irreparable—this person will be completely kicked out.

But in order to fight for the throne, he allowed his own brothers to rebel, ignoring the possibility of the common people suffering. Isn't this... a bit too cruel?

Pei Yi felt a little chilly in her heart, and suddenly realized that there is no one who plays politics without a heart. If she can't be ruthless, she might be the next person to be kicked out.

"We have no intention of hurting anyone." The leading military man said, "As long as you don't run around and scream, no one will hurt your life."

Pei Yi didn't say a word, she wanted to see Huo Yuan's reaction now.

Huo Yuan remained silent, standing aside as if staying out of the matter.

Xiao Junji ran to her side, and said in a sticky voice, "Don't be afraid, Saburo, with me here, I will definitely not let you be humiliated."

Qi Sha cast a disgusted glance at Xiao Junji, but at such a critical juncture, he didn't say a word against his love rival.

He Lian Linyu also stood beside Pei Yi, and said stickily: "Don't worry, Saburo, I will definitely not leave you and run away—I share weal and woe with you."

Qisha gave the big man a patient look, but said nothing.

Now is a special period after all, internal unity is still very important. Since Xiao Junji and Du Zizhang are willing to share weal and woe with Saburo, then everyone is on the same page and deserves support—he can also endure those annoying behaviors for the time being.
