Upon hearing this, Cao Bingxian was so angry that he trembled all over, his face turned pale, and he pointed at Wan Lianxing's nose and shouted: "Great! The Marquis has not given me a clear explanation so far, and in the end he turned the tables and blamed my people? This is simply unreasonable!"

Wan Lianxing couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. He couldn't suppress the sarcasm in his heart and said, "The people under Lord Cao's command are just too comfortable following you. They must have never slept in the camp or spent the night in the wilderness. Look at their vigilance, they are obviously vulnerable. You know, it's common for poisonous snakes and beasts to appear in the wilderness. This snake got into the big tent and poisoned a few people to death, which is understandable, but it's unheard of and unseen to bite a whole room of people to death at once! Lord Cao, you don't know how to control people!"

Cao Bingxian was furious when he heard this. He widened his eyes and shouted angrily, "Humph! How ironic! Not only did the Marquis not give me an explanation, but he mocked me instead. In my opinion, it was clearly your people who were secretly behind this, and now you are the first to accuse me and bite me back. How unreasonable."

Wan Lianxing sneered, "It's useless to doubt, you need to show me the evidence."

Cao Bingxian's face flushed red, veins popped out on his forehead, and he was obviously so angry that he lost his mind. He angrily asked: "My Lord, from what you said, I died in vain. Is this matter just going to be left unresolved?"

Wan Lianxing remained calm and replied casually, "Didn't I say it long ago? This was purely a natural disaster, a pure accident. I have explained everything I should have explained about this matter. If Lord Cao is still not satisfied and insists on making a fuss, I can allocate a thousand troops to you for your deployment, but the prerequisite is that you have to be able to control my brothers!"

Cao Bingxian calmed down a bit after hearing this, and his eyes slowly swept over the people around Wan Lianxing, thinking secretly in his heart. If he really accepted Wan Lianxing's men, it would not be as simple as letting Wan Lianxing plant many spies around him. From now on, his every move would probably be monitored by Wan Lianxing. However, if he refused to take people, he would be outnumbered with the few people he had at present.

After weighing the pros and cons, Cao Bingxian decided to seize this opportunity and tactfully said, "My Lord, look, there are only a few casualties left under my command. I think it's time for me to leave here."

Upon hearing this, Wan Lianxing smiled slightly and said, "Alas, Lord Cao, why are you so anxious? You are here on the orders of the Emperor, and you have come here specifically to investigate me. It has only been a day, what can you figure out? In my opinion, you might as well stay with me, and we can spend every day together. In this way, I can ensure that every word in the secret letter you present to the Emperor is true."

Hearing this, Cao Bingxian was so angry that his face turned blue. For a moment, he was speechless. After a long while, he managed to utter: "You..."

At this time, Wan Lianxing looked relaxed and contented, and still responded with a smile: "Master Cao, please don't be angry. I have plenty of food and drink here. You can just stay here peacefully."

Cao Bingxian suppressed his anger and argued, "I have been away from the capital for many days. I should return to Bianjing as soon as possible to report to the emperor."

Wan Lianxing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a playful smile, looking at Cao Bingxian who wanted to get angry but didn't dare to, and said: "Hey, Lord Cao! I'm not here to scold you. Look, you have been away for several months, but you have been wandering on the road and have not arrived at Fengying yet. Since you, Lord Cao, came to our Fengying, it has been less than ten days at most. You left in such a hurry? Humph, if this is the case, this marquis must report the truth to the emperor, and You are being lazy and not fair! Without my permission, if you dare to step out of my Fengying, I have ten thousand ways to trap you here! You should know that our Fengying has been a place for exiling prisoners since ancient times. I don’t know how many ministers who were wronged or not were exiled here to suffer! If Lord Cao really wants to stay here, he can save the suffering of more than 800 miles of exile!"

Wan Lianxing was afraid of the emperor, but Cao Bingxian was afraid of the emperor. When he heard that Wan Lianxing was going to bite back and frame him, his face instantly turned pale. He cursed Wan Lianxing in his heart for being despicable and shameless. However, no matter how reluctant he was, he didn't dare to leave here without permission.

When Wan Lianxing walked back to his tent, he was no longer sleepy. He said to his entourage, "Go call Sui Dan."

"Yes, my Lord."

Not long after, Sui Dan followed Sui Xing, staggering and dawdling. He looked listless and limp, as if he had no bones in his body, and could hardly stand up straight. What was even more outrageous was that this guy's eyes were tightly closed, and he was obviously half asleep.

Seeing Sui Dan so lazy and languid, Wan Lianxing suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart. Without saying anything, he raised the folding fan in his hand and smashed it hard against Sui Dan's body, shouting angrily, "Open your dog eyes."

Sui Dan was startled by the sudden attack, and shivered violently, muttering in dissatisfaction: "My Lord, what are you doing? You woke me up in the middle of the night, I am so sleepy."

Upon hearing this, Wan Lianxing's face became even gloomier, and he said coldly: "Humph, you are still complaining. Take a good look at yourself, what good things have you done, and what have you done to the rest of us!"

Sui Dan's neck stiffened, his mouth remained stiff, he pretended to be stupid and said innocently: "What did I do? I was sleeping in my room, but I didn't do anything."

Wan Lianxing's tone became even lower, and he shouted with obvious anger: "Follow your guts..."

Suidan seemed very dissatisfied with the name "Suidan". He frowned and shouted unhappily: "How many times have I told you to call me Dandan?"
