My lady, I'm going to rebel.

The rest of the process went smoothly. Mu Zheng sneaked into the granary in a few seconds and quickly took out the kerosene he had on him to use as a starter. Just as he was blowing on the fire stick, footsteps were heard at the door.

Mu Zheng dodged and hid behind a grain bag, only to see several officers and soldiers rushing in, followed by several men in official uniforms.

Mu Zheng frowned. It was so late, why were people coming to the granary?

"Come out!" the leading man suddenly spoke.

Mu Zheng was stunned for a moment. Is he calling me?

No, he was so careful when he came in, it’s impossible for him to be discovered.

"I know you're in there!"

Mu Zheng still didn't move. He carefully glanced around to see if there was anyone else hiding here.

"Mu Zheng!"

faint!

I'm really looking for myself.

Mu Zheng didn't know what went wrong. After hesitating for a moment, he stood out from behind the grain bag.

"Haha, you are in there after all." The leading man laughed.

Mu Zheng looked behind him and felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

Gerry?

"Mu Zheng, let me introduce myself. I'm Deng Yuling, and this is Mingjue, the county magistrate of Ju County." Originally, Deng Yuling didn't want to reveal Mu Zheng's identity so early, but now that Mu Zheng was going to take action against the grain, he had to stand up.

"Where's Xiu Dai?

Mu Zheng had a bad feeling in his heart.

"She climbed out with great effort, so she must have her own destination." Deng Yuling said with a smile.

Hearing this, Mu Zheng's heart tightened. "Seeking death!"

Haha ...

Deng Yuling shook his head slightly. "Mu Zheng, don't be stubborn. Do you think you can resist the power of the entire Ju County?"

Mingjue snorted coldly, "Hmph, you don't know your own limitations. Come on, take him down."

In an instant, a group of soldiers rushed in from all directions and surrounded Mu Zheng. Mu Zheng gripped the sword tightly, his eyes revealing determination. "It won't be that easy to take me down."

With that, Mu Zheng charged into the group of soldiers like a tiger descending from a mountain. His swordsmanship was fierce, and every strike carried a killing intent. Although the soldiers were numerous, they fell one after another under Mu Zheng's frenzied attack.

Deng Yuling and Mingjue's faces changed drastically. They hadn't expected Mu Zheng to be so brave. "Quick, send more people!" Mingjue shouted.

More soldiers rushed forward, and Mu Zheng gradually received more wounds. But he did not retreat at all. He had only one thought in his mind, which was to fight his way out of the encirclement, burn the granary, and avenge Xiu Dai.

In the fierce battle, Mu Zheng relied on his tenacious will and superb martial arts to gradually carve out a bloody path. He rushed towards the granary.

Deng Yuling and Mingjue hurriedly led their men in pursuit, but it was too late. Mu Zheng rushed to the granary, lit a tinderbox, and threw it hard into the granary.

The fire ignited instantly, and the blazing flames illuminated the entire sky. Mu Zheng looked at the burning granary, and the anger in his heart subsided a little.

"Deng Yuling, Mingjue, this is what will happen to you." Mu Zheng shouted loudly.

Mu Zheng then quickly ran out of the barracks. He knew that burning the granary would cause a huge uproar and put Li Lian and the others in great danger.

So, he didn't stop and went straight to find Feng Wu.

Looking at Mu Zheng, who was covered in fatigue and scars, Feng Wu frowned slightly.

"What are you..."

Mu Zheng interrupted Feng Wu before he could finish his words.

"I burned the granary in Ju County. Now Li Lian and the others are in danger. I hope you can help hide them." Mu Zheng's eyes were full of anxiety and expectation.

Feng Wu's expression changed drastically. After a moment of silence, he sighed, "Never mind. We used to be friends, so I'll do you a favor."

Mu Zheng was delighted and quickly thanked him.

In Ju County, Mingjue and the county magistrate were furious. They sent out a large number of soldiers to search for Mu Zheng's whereabouts, but found nothing.

The entire Ju County was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

"Report!" A soldier knelt before Deng Yuling, "When we arrived at the Wen family, they were all gone."

"Waste!" Deng Yuling threw the cup in his hand and said, "Investigate! Turn the entire Ju County upside down!"

……

At this moment, a person far outside the city saw the blazing fire, his brows suddenly raised with joy, and he turned around and ran towards the back.

"You mean Mu Zheng succeeded?" Fan Chong was delighted.

"Yes, the city is ablaze," the man replied.

"Good, good!" Fan Chong immediately ordered, "Send Generals Zhang and Xie to assemble the troops and march!"

A stick of incense later, a group of people appeared at the foot of Huahuatou Mountain under the cover of night.

Fan Chong first sent Xie Junfei with twenty people to guard the mountain pass. Xie Junfei thought the number of people was too small and wanted to ask for more, but was rejected by Fan Chong.

The mountain pass is narrow, and no matter how many people there are, the trees cannot block the way.

Afterwards, the two brothers Fei Yang and Fei Yue deliberately created chaos at the foot of the mountain, and were discovered by patrol officers as expected. In an instant, bursts of shouting came from the mountain, and then heads emerged, and a battle was about to break out.

"Kill the traitors!"

The group of officers and soldiers on the mountain were roaring. Leading them was a tall soldier who was brandishing a thick-backed machete in his hand with great vigor.

The captain's surname was Chen, and he had participated in the Haiqu Rebellion. In his memory, the peasant uprising army was a loose group of people. Although they roared loudly, they would fall apart as soon as they encountered a strong offensive.

Sure enough, he heard the rebels howling and shouting to retreat.

How can it be that easy?

Chen Bingtou waved his hand and the archers immediately took their positions.

At the foot of the mountain, Fan Chong had already made preparations. He shouted the order to deploy the troops, and the rebels took out objects like pot lids to form a battle array, with archers hidden between the pot lids.

These formations were also invented by Mu Zheng and can be used for both defense and offense. However, since they have never been used in actual combat, their effectiveness remains unknown.

However, Fan Chong believed in Mu Zheng.

whoosh...

An arrow shot towards him.

rub!

It went straight to the feet of a rebel soldier who was hiding there.

This sudden move scared the man so much that the wooden pot lid in his hand tilted slightly.

"Hold it tight!" Fan Chong scolded.

He understood the nervousness of these people. After all, training was training, but it was different from being on the battlefield.

Seeing that several rebels looked terrified, Fan Chong shouted orders, saying that anyone who bravely killed the enemy would be rewarded, and anyone who dared to retreat cowardly would be beheaded on the spot. Only then did everyone calm down.

Then, a barrage of arrows came shooting down, like a violent storm, all hitting the wooden pot lid.

"Prepare!"

Fan Chong had been paying attention to the rotation of officers and soldiers on the hilltop. Taking advantage of the gap when the other side was changing arrows, he shouted: "Shoot!" Then he heard several screams. Sure enough, officers and soldiers were hit by arrows.

Fan Chong laughed heartily, "You little rats, you dare to come out and fight me?"

He was deliberately provoking the other party.

Sure enough, when the soldiers on the mountain heard Fan Chong's ridicule, they became angry and fired another round of arrows, but they were still blocked by the pot cover.

"Haha, just wait to starve to death in there." Fan Chong started laughing again, and after laughing, he asked the two Fei Yang brothers to point at each other's noses and curse. The curses became more and more unpleasant, as if they wanted to curse each other's ancestors for eighteen generations.

When Xie Junfei heard these insults, he was extremely worried.

He was afraid that Fan Chong and the others would scold the officers and soldiers too harshly, and that they would be even more ruthless when they went out to fight. As the first to charge, he was under tremendous pressure.

But at this moment, he heard several unusual loud noises from above, and then saw Fan Chong and others' faces change drastically.

Then, some boulders were seen falling from above and rolling towards the rebels.

"not good!"

Xie Junfei was so nervous.
