Fang Qian's face was ashen. He took three steps back before he could stabilize himself.
"Also, there's news from the Governor's Office that someone found the corpses of those unruly people at the north gate. Li Hao left the city during the day to investigate. The news of the rebels emerging from the North Gate was also leaked. The matter of Hu Jinbao sending assassins was also exposed. Not long ago, Di Renjie sent Li Hao to the military camp to capture the three generals, Zhang, Hu, and Fang. The people in the camp sent a message saying that Hu Jinbao had been killed, and Zhang Yong and Fang Hongliang had been captured and brought to the Governor's Office!”
"Also, the Thousand Bull Guards and the Emissary's Guards in the Governor's Office are divided into four gates. They are trying to control the entire city!”
"It's over! It's over!" Fang Qian slumped into his chair, his head tilted as he muttered to himself. His expression was filled with fear.
Seeing Fang Qian's cowardly state, Wu Yizhi forcefully suppressed the panic in his heart and stared at Fang Qian."Milord, the situation is at stake. What should we do now? The power that the higher-ups had managed in Youzhou for so long was about to collapse!”
"What should we do? What should we do?" Wu Yizhi's words seemed to remind Fang Qian as he muttered.
Fang Qian's face twitched a few times before he slowly calmed down. He stood up and said,""Attack the Governor's Office and kill Di Renjie!”
Seeing Fang Qian's fierce expression, Wu Yizhi quickly advised,"No, sir. How can we act rashly without the orders of the higher-ups?"We have no way out. If we don't act, Di Renjie will kill us! If Mo Ruo killed Di Renjie and occupied Youzhou, he might be able to survive!”
Hearing Fang Qian's words, Wu Yizhi hesitated.
"Yizhi, there's no time!”Fang Qian said in a deep voice.
"If you want to act, you have to act quickly! Di Renjie and the others had already started moving!”Wu Yizhi gritted his teeth.
"Alright, Yizhi, immediately leave the city and go to the camp to find Xiong Yuan! "Fortunately, we still have this card in our hands," Fang Qian instructed."We will lead the entire Provincial Governor's Office to receive them from the inside. As long as the army enters the city, we still have a chance!”
"Yes, sir! I'll go right away!"
Just as Fang Qian and Wu Yizhi were about to jump over the wall in desperation, Di Renjie had already interrogated a large number of Fang Qian's party's military and political officials from Zhang Yong and Fang Hongliang.
Holding the list of names that the two of them had given up, Di Renjie snorted coldly. There was a look of lingering fear on his face."It's hard to imagine that such an important province like Youzhou would allow Fang Qian to win over half of the military officials!”
"Sir, should we arrest them according to the list?”Li Yuan Fang asked.
Upon hearing this, Di Renjie frowned and walked back and forth in the hall a few times. He looked at the two lists again."Commandant Guo Yi of the Wei Manor, guerrilla general Xiong Yuan, this Xiong Yuan!"
"My lord!" At this moment, a soldier barged in from outside and reported,""Milord, Sima Wu Yizhi of Youzhou has just broken out of the north gate!”
"What?!" "Why didn't you stop him?" Di Renjie's expression changed.”
"This…"
Seeing that Di Renjie was a little nervous, Hu Jinghui said,""Milord, that Wu Yizhi probably ran for his life when he saw the incident.”
Hearing Hu Jinghui's guess, Di Renjie subconsciously shook his head. Suddenly, his expression tightened."Aiya, there's a change in the military camp outside the city!"
He suddenly turned around, and before Hu Jinghui and Li Yuanfang could react, he solemnly ordered,""Jinghui, Yuanfang, the two of you immediately lead 500 demotion envoy guards to the main camp. If there is any trouble, suppress it immediately!”
"Pass down my order. The four gates of Youzhou are tightly shut. No one is allowed to enter or leave without the Pavilion's order!”After saying that, he turned to Li Hao." Li Hao, bring some people to patrol the city. Clear the streets and prohibit the officials and the people from moving!”
"Yes, sir!" Seeing Di Renjie's serious tone, the three of them immediately accepted the order.
" Sir, most of the guards in the manor have been sent out. If the three of us leave with our men, the manor will be empty. Your safety…" Li Yuanfang did not move as she looked at Di Renjie.
Seeing the concern on Yuan Fang's face, Di Renjie's heart relaxed. He said solemnly,""The situation is urgent. How can we care so much? I'll stay in the mansion and withdraw the guards. There's no time to lose. The three of you should leave immediately!”
"Sir, you still have to be careful!" Li Yuanfang didn't forget to say something.
Li Hao led a group of people to patrol the four gates, clear the streets, and restrain the officials and civilians. The demotion envoy's guards left the city on a large scale. The official cavalry cruised around and issued a martial law order. Such a large movement instantly broke the peace in the city.
Even the commoners could sense that something was wrong. Meanwhile, the officials in the city who had ulterior motives began to panic.
The elites of the demotion envoy's guards were real. One against ten, but one against five was not a problem.
Moreover, victory and defeat were not determined by the number of people in a war. The combat power of the 500 guards could not be underestimated.
Hu Jinghui and Li Yuanfang moved very quickly. They were all valiant generals who had experienced the battlefield. They might not be able to command a large army, but they could do it in small scale battles.
He quickly left the city, but before he even got close to the camp, he could already hear the sounds of killing coming from the northwest. When he looked up, he could see a dazzling fire flickering in the camp. He looked at Hu Jinghui with a solemn expression,"There really is a problem!"”
"We can't let the rebel army rise up. I'll lead the cavalry to attack the camp first. Yuan Fang, you lead the people to follow from behind!”With a face full of determination, Hu Jinghui said to Li Yuanfang.
After saying that, he waved his hand behind him.”
Seeing Hu Jinghui lead his men to the military camp, Li Yuanfang took a deep breath and shouted to the remaining guards,""Speed up!"
When he reached the entrance of the camp, he saw a group of guards coming out of the camp. They were the guards who had been ordered to suppress the camp. He was in a sorry state after a bloody battle.
Seeing Hu Jinghui bring his men over, the leading Thousand Bull Guard's face lit up as he shouted,""General, the guerrilla general Xiong Yuan bewitched the army and led his men to rebel. Two regiments of prefectural soldiers were also dragged in!”
Hearing this, Hu Jinghui raised his head and looked into the camp. In the drill ground, an officer in general uniform was organizing soldiers. Beside him was Wu Yizhi in official uniform.
The sudden mutiny caused the camp to be in chaos. Some rebelled, some were indifferent, and there were a few who refused to submit. However, under Xiong Yuan's control, it slowly developed in an orderly manner.
Hu Jinghui's expression turned solemn as he pulled out his saber and shouted,""Kill with me!"
