"Jiang Yi, shut his mouth." Hearing this voice, the general's expression changed, but soon his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.

Because Pei Jiao knocked him unconscious, she was afraid that if she heard him nagging for a while longer, she would not be able to help but kill him.

"Leave here quickly. If he doesn't show up for a few days, the military camp will naturally be in chaos." Jiang Yan was worried that something might happen if he stayed any longer, so he ordered Jiang Yi to carry the people and leave immediately.

Sure enough, they had been gone for only half a moment when the people from the military camp caught up with them.

Xu Ning couldn't help but worry for them when watching on the surveillance camera. As soon as they got out of the canyon, it was surrounded by heavy troops.

"Ayan, you are still foresighted." Pei Jiao and others had just cleaned up the tail when they saw a group of soldiers pouring out of the canyon. If they encountered them head-on, they would be unable to escape.

"Let's go. We can't stay here for long." Now that those soldiers have come out, they will definitely send more people to patrol outside. Fortunately, Jiang Yan and Xu Ning's men have already withdrawn, otherwise it would be more troublesome at this time.

"Have you heard? It is said that the Jiang family has secretly stationed tens of thousands of soldiers in the mountains outside Wancheng!"

"More than tens of thousands! I heard people say it's over a hundred thousand!"

"Where did you hear that?"

"I heard from my relatives that he was arrested and he managed to escape a while ago!"

"You must be kidding! With so many soldiers, how come he was the only one who escaped?"

"Believe it or not, the mountain is just outside the city. You can go and see it. It is said that the canyon is now heavily guarded!"

"Is it true or not? If so, wouldn't Wancheng be in danger?" For several days in a row, the teahouses and inns in Wancheng were discussing matters related to the military camp.

In order to prove the authenticity, people have been sent to investigate, but none of them have come back.

This phenomenon made those who were originally skeptical about the news from the military camp gradually believe the news.

There was a huge uproar in the court the day after the news was received.

"Your Majesty, I am loyal to you. Someone must be trying to throw dirty water on me! Your Majesty, I am innocent!" The head of the Jiang family burst into tears. After kneeling in the hall and kowtowed three times, his hair was messy. He looked a little old, and he stood tremblingly, as if he might faint at any time.

"Bah, you shameless old man! There are so many heavily guarded outside the canyon. If it's not because there is a military camp inside, then is there a gold mine inside?" The left prime minister, who had always been at odds with the head of the Jiang family, immediately retorted. The word "shameless old man" made the head of the Jiang family's face turn green with anger.

"Gold mine?" Many people's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this word! Their minds quickly became active.

The head of the Jiang family was so angry that his face turned black. The old immortal Zuo Xiang just complained that there were too few people going to explore the canyon!

The new emperor sat on the dragon chair and watched the show leisurely. After the people below finished arguing, he spoke indifferently: "Then let's find out the truth about this matter. Is there any minister who can help me solve my worries?"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go!" General Pei stepped out from among the generals. As soon as he shouted, generals and civil officials came one after another to ask for orders.

Among them, the Jiang family was the most active.

"Your Majesty, General Pei is old and I'm afraid he can't stand such cold weather! Let the young people go."

"Yes, General Pei has worked hard and made great contributions. It is time for him to enjoy his old age with his grandchildren. Let me wait for him."

Patriarch Jiang looked more positive as he watched his subordinates actively fight for the throne, but he was still anxious. The new emperor was becoming increasingly difficult to control, and he was worried...

"In that case, let Pei Aiqing's son Pei Yongjun go!"

"His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty! No!" The people from the Jiang family immediately panicked.

……

"I have made up my mind. The court is dismissed!" The new emperor didn't even look at her, sneered and left.
