Chapter 431 Rebellion
Chapter 431 Rebellion
Meanwhile, Mo Sheng, contrary to Jian Yang's expectations, did not intend to continue attacking the Brown Kingdom.
Yes, things unfolded exactly as he had predicted.
Jianyang's heart softened as expected.
However, Mo Sheng had fought on the battlefield for many years, and caution was ingrained in his bones.
He did not become complacent because things were going well.
He knew that the Red Eagle Army was clean and honest, so he sent people to investigate from the side.
To determine whether the Red Eagle Army has truly retreated, one must examine its food supplies and its location.
The importance of food supplies is self-evident.
Even the bravest army cannot go without food and water.
If the Dayong army was feigning a retreat, then the supplies would have been either carried along or hidden away.
Secondly, one must observe whether there are any unusual occurrences inside or outside the base. If it is a feigned retreat, there will inevitably be a trap.
They can't enter the base now, so they must send a small team ahead to probe before they can go in.
Mo Sheng had calculated all of this clearly in his mind.
Urisu was completely won over by him, and now he does whatever he's told.
Su Rong's confidants also died in this purge.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't have been any accidents.
Unfortunately, he inexplicably found himself deeply embroiled in public opinion.
What first spread was the feud between him and Qi Yongji.
This is no secret.
Most people are unaware of this simply because they are not qualified to know.
However, Mo Sheng quickly found the source of the news and quietly dealt with the gossipy person.
When he summoned Urisu to give the order, he was surprised to find that Urisu's eyes were deep and he showed no intention of making a move.
Mo Sheng paused for a moment: "General Wu, do you have any objections?"
Urisu waved his hand, and several burly men who had been standing silently to the side immediately stepped forward.
Mo Sheng retreated warily: "Deputy General Wu, what is the meaning of this?"
He was afraid that Urisu would be displeased, so he always addressed him as "General".
But the situation is different now.
The people who gathered around were all unfamiliar faces, and each of them moved with incredible speed, clearly skilled in martial arts.
Therefore, his tone was much more forceful, as if he were reminding Urisu of his identity.
Urisu did not retract his order; his expression was indifferent and calm, unlike his usual impetuousness and naivety.
Mo Sheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He knew there was no room for negotiation.
Fortunately, he wasn't entirely defenseless.
He raised his hand to stop him: "Deputy General Wu, whatever you want to do, I advise you to think twice before you act."
Urisu remained unmoved.
Mo Sheng stood calmly in place, showing no sign of urgency: "The military camp these days is not under your control alone."
As if in response to his words, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.
It turned out that just as Mo Sheng raised his hand, someone sensed something was wrong and secretly slipped out of the tent.
This man was Mo Sheng's confidant.
Urisu's thick, dark eyebrows were gathered into a straight line.
If he remembers correctly, he had ordered the area to be cleared.
Logically speaking, the rest of the people should be his confidants.
Seeing Mo Sheng's unsurprised expression, he gritted his teeth.
As expected of Mo Sheng, he has infiltrated his inner circle in such a short time.
Judging from the commotion outside, he has probably already turned half of his soldiers against him.
Mo Sheng was no less surprised than him.
He hadn't expected that Urisu was far more astute than he had appeared.
He couldn't help but mock Su Rong in his heart once again.
Does that fool know that he is the real fool? Does he know that his puppet is using him?
After finishing his tirade, his expression softened slightly: "General Wu, let's talk things over. What kind of behavior is this, resorting to violence..."
"Mo Sheng. You were the one who wronged the Emperor first, and now you've betrayed the He Kingdom. How dare you ask me what kind of behavior this is?"
"Betray the Brown Kingdom? That's nonsense. I understand you're unhappy that I took your place. But I, Mo Sheng, don't take every accusation lying down!"
"Then tell me, who is that woman you brought into the tent?"
"nonsense!"
"Can't say it? Mo Sheng, how dare you! Not only did you collude with Dayong, you even brought Jianyang to the military camp."
"It's getting more and more ridiculous."
"Someone saw Jianyang's face with their own eyes. How do you explain that you were secretly together with her?"
Mo Sheng has already concluded that Wu Risu is using this as an excuse to cause trouble.
He had no desire to argue; all that remained was his superiors' anger.
“Wurisu, you’re such a loyal dog of Qi Yongji, but do you know that your sister’s neighborhood is full of Qi Yongji’s spies? He doesn’t trust you that much.”
Surprisingly, Urisu was only surprised for a moment before quickly regaining his composure.
"So what? I won't betray you, so the Emperor won't harm my sister."
“Wurisu, are you just too naive, or do you know the truth but choose to ignore it?” Mo Sheng really didn’t know where his blind trust came from. “Even your sister’s husband was arranged by Qi Yongji. You’re living a comfortable life, but what is your sister?”
Urisu's eyes flickered slightly: "What do you know? My sister is a person of upright character. He will treat my sister well, and that's enough."
Mo Sheng remained silent.
Therefore, Urisu is determined to play dumb.
He shook his head: "I wonder if your sister will regret giving everything she had to support you."
Everyone thought that the person Wu Risu cared about most was his sister, including Mo Sheng.
In retrospect, this was merely a "flaw" that Urisu left for himself.
This person is nothing but a jackal.
Urisu's expression darkened: "It's none of your business."
Mo Sheng shrugged: "Alright, let's get back to business. What you're trying to do to me is absolutely out of the question..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the tent was suddenly flung open, and countless soldiers formed a wall outside, their bows drawn like crescent moons, arrows pointed at Urisu and his men.
Urisu looked around and couldn't help but applaud: "Great skill!"
If he hadn't broken ties with Mo Sheng today, he probably wouldn't even know he was left with no troops.
Thinking about this, he even felt a sense of lingering fear.
"General Mo is very capable, but unfortunately, the time was still too short."
Urisu laughed twice: "Let's begin."
Perfect, let's catch them all at once.
As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion arose from the outside, and a new team appeared inside the military camp.
They coordinated with Urisu's men, who were pretending to be subdued, and soon the tide of battle turned.
At the same time, Mo Sheng was also subdued by Wu Risu's men.
Mo Sheng knew he had another trump card and that there was no escape, so he did not resist: "I have a question. Where did General Wu hear the rumors?"
"rumor?"
"How could I possibly bring Jianyang to the military camp!"
Who would believe such an absurd rumor?
Jianyang isn't stupid; why would he venture into the lion's den?
Urisu shrugged: "How you got here is not important. In short, I don't trust you, so I can only ask General Mo to stay for a while. After this battle is over, I will investigate your affairs properly."
Mo Sheng replied dejectedly, "Fine, so what are you planning to do next?"
"Do what you're prepared to do."
"No! Don't you distrust me? Then don't follow my plan."
Urisu scoffed.
