My lady, I'm going to rebel.

A month later, Kuishan Village was officially completed.

However, Mu Zheng suggested to build some defensive measures. At first, everyone didn't quite understand, but with Mu Zheng's insistence, they began to build a fortress wall outside the village.

Meanwhile, as time passed, Mu Zheng's sense of crisis grew more pressing. He didn't know if the war would spread to the island, but when the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact? The more military power he had, the more hope he had of protecting himself and his family in the future.

Therefore, Mu Zheng asked Zhang Hao and Xie Nong to continue training. Again, everyone still didn't understand, but Mu Zheng told them, don't forget, you have another identity, that is, traitors.

So, everyone be quiet.

In fact, before making this request, Mu Zheng was conflicted because he had implanted advanced modern tactics two thousand years ago and even taught them to his invisible enemy.

However, he couldn't just ignore it.

Sometimes he wondered if moving everyone to the islands had changed the course of history. Being away from the mainland meant being away from the conflict, so the Red Eyebrows couldn't possibly be recruiting from the sea, could they?

It was precisely because of this realization that Mu Zheng brought up the sniper team's training again. Zheng Chao and Liu Yu were raising horses on Xiangdao Island, so Mu Zheng directly sent the sniper team to Xiangdao Island. There, whether it was training in horseback riding and archery or other aspects of training, the conditions were more suitable than on Kongtong Island.

Two months later, Lu landed on the island.

Seeing this thriving scene, she held Mu Zheng's hand and thanked him repeatedly.

Seeing this weathered old woman and hearing her occasional cough, Mu Zheng felt somewhat nervous. He knew that Mrs. Lu would die this year, but he didn't know the exact date. Even with this mental preparation, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Aunt Lu, it's freezing cold, and you've come a long way. You should take good care of yourself."

"Ahem. It's an old problem. It will be fine after this winter."

Mu Zheng smiled and said, yes, winter will always pass.

Soon, the day of thaw arrived. Mu Zheng returned from fishing. As soon as he stepped onto land, smoke from the village began to rise. Along the way, enthusiastic people greeted him, and Mu Zheng nodded in response.

A little baby staggered towards him. It was a child of the Kuishan people. After everyone was relatively stable, they brought their family members over one after another.

Mu Zheng leaned over, picked up the little one, threw him into the air, and reached out to catch him. The child screamed exaggeratedly, and everyone laughed.

Mu Zheng was also very happy. Seeing this peaceful island, he thought that this was what a paradise should be like.

Unfortunately, this is not where he wants to stay.

When he got home, Yunniang had already prepared the meal. Mu Zheng smelled the aroma and his appetite was whetted.

He cut off a piece of roast meat with a dagger and handed it to Yunniang. He then took out a salt dish from the cupboard and said, "It tastes better with some salt."

Yunniang nodded.

I took the salt dish and the meat and took a few bites. It was indeed delicious and left a lingering fragrance in my mouth.

Yunniang had just finished the piece in her hand when Mu Zheng handed her another piece. "Eat slowly, there's no rush."

Yunniang felt a warm feeling in her heart, and suddenly remembered something, "Why did my husband ask me to make more meat today? This way, we won't see any meat for the next three months."

Mu Zheng smiled and said, "Yunniang, we should go now."

"Is it time to go?" Yunniang paused for a moment, then ate the meat silently without saying anything else.

Mu Zheng knew what she was thinking, so he couldn't help but feel sorry for her understanding sometimes.

"Yunniang, even if we go to Chang'an, you will live well."

"Ok!"

Then, there was silence again.

At this moment, Gong Wen rushed in. His eyes lit up when he saw the meat on the table. He stuffed a lump of meat into his mouth without hesitation: "Brother, my brother! Good news!"

"Slow down, I'll choke you!"

"I just overheard that General Lu has decided to hand over the Lu family army to you. From now on, all the thousands of people in Kuishan will be your subordinates."

What?

If this happened to anyone else, wouldn't they be jumping for joy?

But Mu Zheng was so scared that his face turned pale.

Aunt Lu, you repay kindness with enmity.

From the first day he arrived in Xinmang, he had been thinking about escaping from Shandong and staying away from the rebels. As a result, he went around in circles and not only found a home in the villain's lair, but now he has become the leader of the villains.

Liu Xiu would kill him.

"No, no, no, this won't do." Mu Zheng ran off to find Mrs. Lu. Gong Wen thought he was being modest and happily jumped up and down to catch up with him.

Meanwhile, Deputy Generals Zhang and Xie were also discussing the matter. Zhang Hao greatly admired Mu Zheng, believing him to be both talented and capable, and no problem leading the Lu Family Army. However, Xie Nong was somewhat reluctant. Mu Zheng was only a young man in his early twenties; how could he possibly take on such a significant responsibility?

"Hey, Old Xie, age and ability cannot be confused. Huo Qubing was only in his teens, but he still managed to make the Huns retreat and never dare to invade our Han Dynasty again." Zhang Hao obviously opposed Xie Nong's point of view.

"How can Mu Zheng be compared with General Huo? General Huo comes from a family of generals, while Mu Zheng has only been in the army for two years. What's more, we have never seen him lead troops in battle, and we have no idea what his specific abilities are." Xie Nong retorted.

"Do we still need to question this? The training regulations taught by Mu Zheng and the sniper team he formed, which one does not demonstrate his professionalism? And on the day of the breakout, Brother Mu Zheng showed extraordinary leadership and judgment. It's just that you got on the boat early and didn't see it." Zhang Hao couldn't help but admire Mu Zheng when he thought of how he brought only a few people and blocked a large number of officers and soldiers outside the mountain pass.

"Yes, Mu Zheng not only demonstrated excellent military capabilities, he also had powerful connections and the ability to predict the future. In any case, he is stronger than an old man like me." Lu also said.

"This..." Xie Nong was speechless. He admitted that what Zhang Hao and Lu said made sense, but he always felt that Mu Zheng had a conspiracy. His deliberate flattery, training of soldiers, and rescue were definitely for the purpose of controlling Lu's army.

Too scheming.

At this moment, Mu Zheng pushed the door open with a bang. Lu and Zhang Hao stared at him in surprise, while Xie Nong looked unhappy.

"Mu Zheng? Why are you here?" Mrs. Lu stood up in surprise.

Uh.

Mu Zheng is stuck.

What could he say? He said, "Don't hand over the army to me. I don't want to be a general."

I'm afraid people will laugh at me. After all, this news is unconfirmed, and it hasn't been made public, not even told to him privately.

"Hehe." Mu Zheng scratched his head awkwardly. "I plan to leave Kongtong Island in two days. I can't call you all to say goodbye."

What?

Mu Zheng's words stirred up three waves.

"You said you were leaving?" Xie Nong's voice became louder.

"Yes." Mu Zheng nodded. "Before entering Xiejiabao, I planned to go to Chang'an, but was delayed due to some things. If you don't believe me, you can ask Junfei."

Mu Zheng thought, since he would have to leave sooner or later anyway, he might as well make things clear now, which would put an end to the Lu family's idea of ​​handing over the Lu family army to him.

Sure enough, Mrs. Lu and Zhang Hao looked at each other in surprise. Mu Zheng's decision was indeed something they had not expected.
