At the foot of the mound of earth beside the river embankment, countless Yongshun Xuanweisi people cheered and waved the tools in their hands.

However, as the cheers grew louder, Peng Tianbao's heart became heavier.

"Grandpa, my grandson heard that the man is the Crown Prince Yan of the imperial court, and the one beside him is the Crown Prince Qin, and there are only a thousand officers and soldiers around them, why not..."

Peng Tianbao's eldest grandson Peng Zhong suggested in a low voice from the side, staring dimly at Zhu Gaochi and others on the river embankment in the distance.

His father, Peng Tianbao's eldest son Peng Yuan, immediately shouted.

"In full view of the public, you actually want to do something like kill an imperial envoy! Are you going to ignore all the members of my Yongshun Peng family?"

Peng Yuan was frightened in his heart, even with the power of the Peng clan, they could keep the more than a thousand soldiers and horses of the imperial court and the two princes of the clan.

But when the time comes, the court will definitely be furious.

The anger within the court and the pressure within the clan may even make the court give up on completely abolishing the southwestern chieftain system, and instead mobilize a large army specifically to annihilate them, the Yongshun Peng clan.

The Peng family members present silently divided into two groups.

Some people supported Peng Zhongde's proposal to directly detain the two clan princes sent by the imperial court so as to use them as conditions for subsequent negotiations with the imperial court.

But some people feel that it is not yet time to completely break up with the court. In other words, even if the Yongshun Peng family wants to do something, it cannot be done openly.

"How confident you are."

After a while, Peng Tianbao spoke calmly.

A smile immediately appeared on Peng Zhong's face.

But Peng Yuan glanced at his son with a gloomy face, then looked at his father, and said anxiously: "Father! Even if we want to keep these people, we can't do it. As long as we don't come forward, no matter how we deal with the court in the end,

There is always room for change.

Once we are found guilty of treason, hundreds of years of inheritance and foundation of the Yongshun Peng family will be completely lost."

Facing his son's persuasion, Peng Timbao also seemed extremely difficult and hesitant.

But in the end, he still looked at his grandson.

Peng Zhong immediately whispered: "Our people are all in the city. It only takes a stick of incense to take advantage of the chaos and surround the people in the court. In an hour, we can wipe out all the soldiers and horses of the court and capture those two people alive. Then we only need to send people to blockade them."

At several mountain passes, it would be difficult for the imperial troops to enter."

"I'll think about it again, let me think about it again..."

Peng Tianbao murmured in a low voice, still having trouble making a decision.

Seeing his grandfather like this, Peng Zhong also knew that he didn't know how to urge him now, so he just frowned and stared at the other side of the river.

across.

Zhu Gaochi turned to look at Zhu Shangbing beside him: "Let's go, let's go to the Peng family and read out the order again."

Seeing that Zhu Gaochi always had a tense face, Zhu Shangbing waved to the surrounding officers and soldiers to escort them to the bottom of Yongshun County.

He stayed with Zhu Gaochi and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't worry, the brothers we brought this time have all experienced the Northern Expedition before. Not to mention, the gunpowder we brought this time will work.

With the Peng family’s few chieftain troops and horses? As long as our troops’ formation remains stable, it will be enough to sustain us for a few hours.”

Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes: "What about a few hours later!"

Zhu Shangbing whistled softly: "Then it depends on whether the Peng family dares to eat our big piece of meat. If they really want to kidnap you and me and threaten the court, then let them Peng

The chieftain's old nest in our family must have been destroyed by cannon fodder."

Having said this, Zhu Shangbing immediately shut up.

Some things cannot be said too much, lest the secret be lost.

Zhu Gaochi, however, hummed twice.

The mountains in the southwest are high and the roads are far away. Can the more than a thousand people of my own really survive until the army led by Brother Xi can sneak attack the Peng family's Tusi City lair from behind?

He was not worried about the power of the imperial army, he was just worried about whether his side could withstand the attack of the angry Chieftain Peng if there was an actual uprising, and waited until Zhu Yunxi and his men came over.

The people on both sides of the river embankment had no intention of continuing to work at this moment.

It was a big deal for the imperial court to re-level the fields in Yongshun.

Zhu Gaochi, escorted by Zhu Shangbing, walked towards the Peng family officials from the Yongshun Xuanwei Division who were waiting under the city gate.

At this moment, the imperial court had directly revealed its swords and guns.

It depends on what the Peng family will choose.
