Stunning beauty, the hero of Collapse is happy again

Chapter 279: Paranoid Warlord and Vengeful Undercover (38)

Adjutant Liu was the first to notice that the Young Marshal and Miss Ruan had reconciled.

After all, the superior who always had a cold face and no emotions suddenly started to walk to and from get off work with a brisk pace. Although there was still no expression on his face, at least he did not look at his adjutant as if he were a dead person. This was cause for celebration!

Pei Jingmo took the time to look up at him and whispered:

"Zheng'er didn't make it in time for the full moon banquet, but the hundred-day banquet must not be delayed. You should assign the tasks at hand to other people and concentrate on getting this done."

Yes, Liu Bingcheng is not only Pei Jingmo’s adjutant, he is also the “steward” of Bailou.

The Bailou is Pei Jingmo's office and resting place, and it contains many military secrets, so he directly assigned Adjutant Liu to handle everything. This Hundred Days Banquet is very important to Pei Jingmo, and he has to hand it over to his most trusted confidant to feel at ease.

Adjutant Liu looked a little hesitant, "Does Miss Ruan need to attend?"

Pei Jingmo stopped writing, raised his eyelids and stared at him seriously.

Adjutant Liu's back was covered with cold sweat, and he said awkwardly, "Many guests will be invited that day, and the people in the Marshal's Mansion will definitely know..."

Pei Jingmo retracted his gaze and continued to look through the documents at hand. He said coldly, "There is no need to ask the people from the Marshal's Mansion. They have no chance of knowing."

Adjutant Liu was startled, and vaguely realized what the young marshal meant, so he stopped talking.

"By the way, spread the news that I've secretly married. Don't answer anyone who comes to ask about it."

Pei Jingmo gave her a reminder. In his heart, Ruan Guannan had already been his legitimate wife, the only thing missing was a proper wedding.

In order to allow his wife and children to present a legitimate identity to the public, he must speed up the process of dealing with Pei Shichang.

There was darkness in Pei Jingmo's eyes. He did not have any feelings for Pei Shichang as if he were a father. He completely regarded him as an enemy and a stumbling block. So when it came to how to deal with Pei Shichang, Pei Jingmo felt no wavering at all, as if it should have been done a long time ago.

Sure enough, within three days, when Pei Shichang organized a meeting of senior military officials, Pei Jingmo directly led his troops to surround the Marshal's Mansion, leaving no opportunity for Pei Shichang's people to react.

In full view of everyone, Pei Jingmo, wearing a neat dark blue military uniform and a pair of shiny combat boots, walked into the conference room with a stern look on his face.

Pei Shichang, who was sitting in the main seat, was startled. Seeing his posture, he instantly became angry and reprimanded him with a sullen face:

"What are you trying to do? Your father is still alive, and you are already coveting my position with your wolfish ambitions. Are you going to rebel, you bastard?"

The other senior executives were also unhappy, although they knew that the father and son had a bad relationship and Marshal Pei favored his second son more.

They didn't think highly of Pei Sizhe originally, but now everyone is dead, and apart from the eldest son, there is only a baby less than one year old left. It is true that only Pei Jingmo can take on the position of commander-in-chief.

But Pei Jingmo was too arbitrary and dictatorial. Those who had originally been loyal to Marshal Pei would never get any good results under him, so they just followed Pei Shichang to the end.

Now that they see Pei Jingmo wants to rebel, they must of course stand behind Pei Shichang, otherwise they will not even be able to keep their current power.

"Jing Mo, you just won a battle and you're back to rebel against your own father. Aren't you afraid that the people of Jincheng will poke your spine?"

One of Pei Shichang's confidants started to criticize, and when no one was paying attention, he signaled to the person behind him and asked him to sneak out to get help.

Unfortunately, the entire Marshal's Mansion was surrounded by Pei Jingmo so that not even a fly could fly out, and their secret thoughts were completely in vain.

Pei Jingmo waved his hand to stop their meaningless abuse, picked up a chair and sat opposite them, raised his chin slightly, lifted his eyelids and glanced at them lightly,

"Rebellion? You uncles are too kind. I, a young man, cannot bear such a serious crime."

"You openly led your troops in and barged in. If you are not rebelling, then you are here to wish Marshal Pei good health?"

Pei Shichang's confidant couldn't help but sneer and didn't believe a word of what Pei Jingmo said.

Pei Jingmo raised his eyes and looked at Pei Shichang in the middle. He saw that his face turned red with anger. The corners of his mouth curved up, but there was a layer of frost between his eyebrows, revealing a chill that was terribly cold.

He was too lazy to talk nonsense and waved his hand to signal for the person to be brought up.

When Pei Shichang saw the man, his face darkened immediately, and his confidant beside him frowned and asked in confusion:

"Why did you tie up the Marshal's adjutant?"

Liu Bingcheng kicked Li, causing him to stagger. "Say what you said before again."

Since becoming Pei Shichang's adjutant, he has never been humiliated like this, but when he thought that his family was still in Pei Jingmo's hands, Adjutant Li had no choice but to bite the bullet and say it again.

"Marshal Pei sent me to lead the support team to help the Second Young Master go north. I will obey his orders and try my best to help him establish his prestige in the army. By the way..."

Adjutant Li did not dare to look at Pei Shichang, and lowered his head and said quickly:

"We took the opportunity to kill Young Marshal Pei on the battlefield and we must not let him return to Jincheng alive. But halfway through the march, the second young master changed the order and led us to ambush on the road back to Jincheng, intending to capture Young Marshal Pei in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, we were wiped out by Young Marshal Pei..."

After hearing his words, the senior executives present looked at Pei Shichang in disbelief. They didn't expect that he could be so cruel as to kill his own son, the son who had just helped him win a battle!

Pei Shichang ignored the gazes from the surroundings, stared at Pei Jingmo and asked harshly:

"Si Zhe didn't go north, so the person who killed him was not Zhang Mao, but you?"

Pei Jingmo shook his head, and Pei Shichang instantly became angry. "You killed your own brother and refused to admit it. I raised you for so many years just to let you deal with your own family?"

Liu Bingcheng frowned tightly and said in a cold voice: "Marshal Pei, the second young master led his troops to assassinate the young marshal. He is suspected of collaborating with the enemy and deserves to be put to death."

"You fart!"

Pei Shichang's eyes turned red with anger, and he pulled out his gun and pointed it at Pei Jingmo. Adjutant Liu and the soldiers behind him immediately pointed their guns at Pei Shichang and his group. As long as he dared to move, their group would be shot into sieves in the next moment. The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense to the extreme.

Pei Jingmo looked at him coldly, "The Marshal did not deny what Adjutant Li said, it seems that what he said is true."

Pei Shichang almost lost his sanity and immediately regained it. He denied it with a gloomy face:

"I have never issued such an order. Li Cheng must have been instigated by others. How could I kill my own son?"

Pei Jingmo sneered, the coldness in his eyes made people feel creepy, and he said with a gloomy face:

"You can kill your wife who has been with you in this world, so how can you be kind to her son?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Many people had accompanied Pei Shichang in conquering the world, so they naturally knew his original wife. Pei Jingmo was the daughter of his original wife.

However, she died of illness after only being the Marshal's wife for a year. At that time, they also felt that this man was unlucky. It seems that there is something else going on?

The sight he cast towards Pei Shichang was not obscure. His face was still gloomy, and his heart sank to the bottom.

"What nonsense are you talking about in front of so many people? Your mother died of illness. What does it have to do with me? She was so sick..."

With a "bang", Pei Shichang was startled by Pei Jingmo's sinister expression as he stabbed the table with a knife before he could finish his words. He also realized that his words had angered this lone wolf.

"I wanted to save some face for you, but I didn't expect Marshal Pei didn't need it at all."

"When you ordered someone to drug my mother, didn't you notice that there was someone under the table? If my mother hadn't told me to lie dormant before she died, I probably wouldn't have lived to this age."
