Even if he wanted to, time wouldn't allow it.

He reserved extra time for them, but it was not like traveling around and allowing them to stay in one place for a long time.

Besides, if all these people became his people, his identity would not be exposed.

"Get up, I want to talk to you about something."

Mo Jinyi waved his hand, signaling the two brothers Cheng Yun and Master Cheng to get up.

He held Mo Sheng in his arms and sat in the main seat.

Looks dignified.

"I wonder what your Majesty wants to talk to us about."

As the eldest brother, Cheng Yun tried his best to stay calm and asked someone to serve tea first.

Then he tentatively asked Mo Jinyi, who was sitting in the main seat.

He used to think that he was very powerful and could intimidate the villains below him.

Now it seems like a small matter compared to a big one.

But why did the emperor come to see them with a child in his arms?

I don't know which child of his this is.

Master Cheng was a little scared. How could he not be scared?

This is the highest authority in Beiyun, someone they should never meet in their lifetime.

It's the kind that can take their lives with just one sentence.

[Father, you are more like a master than these two masters]

Li Desheng stood beside Mo Jinyi and spoke.

"I came here because a spy reported that a group of bandits were gathering here, so I came to take a look."

Master Cheng was alert. Could it be that His Majesty was here to kill them?

Li Desheng looked at the two men's alert expressions and spoke in a soothing tone.

"Don't be so nervous, your Majesty is not a murderer.

I know you only robbed people and didn’t kill them, so your behavior is quite decent.”

Li Desheng paused and said with a smile.

"I came here this time to ask if you are willing to submit to His Majesty."

Cheng Yun and Master Cheng looked at each other. Is he here to persuade us to surrender?

The tone didn't sound like they were trying to persuade them to surrender, but rather it sounded like if they didn't submit, this village would be lost.

Also, isn’t this person a murderer? Then where does his reputation as a tyrant outside come from?

"Your Majesty, can we brothers discuss this matter with everyone?"

Cheng Yun said hesitantly.

Mo Jinyi didn't say anything, and Li Desheng continued to speak with a smile.

"Of course, Master Cheng, this is your territory, you can do whatever you want, provided you don't keep His Majesty waiting for too long."

[Squinting eyes are all monsters, and it’s really suitable for Eunuch Li. Look at this gentle and kind smile, it’s really endearing]

Mo Sheng looked at Li Desheng's eyes, which were so narrow that they were only a line apart.

His whole body trembled.

Then Li Desheng took out a token from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Cheng Yun.

"Now that you have made your decision, come to the foot of the mountain and bring this thing with you to find us."

Cheng Yun and Master Cheng nodded and were about to leave.

"I hope you can give me a satisfactory result. I am waiting for your reply at the foot of the mountain."

Mo Jinyi added lightly, then walked out holding Mo Sheng.

[Alas! I haven’t seen enough of the excitement yet]

The corners of Mo Jinyi's mouth twitched.

“………”It was you who was unwilling to come, and now it is you who is unwilling to leave.

Cheng Yun and Master Cheng respectfully escorted Mo Jinyi and the others out of the village gate.

Only after Mo Jinyi and his group left Renhe Village did Cheng Yun breathe a sigh of relief and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"That person's aura is too frightening. Little brother, why are you so sure that he is the emperor and not a thief pretending to be him?"

Master Cheng changed his cautious attitude in front of Mo Jinyi and spoke thoughtfully.

"Brother, one of those two badges is the dragon pendant representing the emperor, and the other is the token of the chief eunuch."

"Even if someone is pretending, they will usually only take out a token, and then..."

Master Cheng paused, looked around, and spoke in a low voice.

"…………I heard that the chief eunuch beside the current emperor is even more powerful than the current leader of the martial arts world. No one can get his token."

"Besides, if he really was a liar with no support, he wouldn't have come to our village with a baby in his arms."

"Although our martial arts skills are not top-notch, they are still among the best in Hezhou. If they really deceived us, they...they will never be able to leave."

Master Cheng clenched his fists and said with a sinister look on his face.

A glimmer of hope ignited in Cheng Yun's eyes. Could it be that his younger brother was about to rise?

"…………Just stay and do the hard labor."

The corners of Cheng Yun's mouth twitched. Okay, he was overthinking it.

"Forget it, don't think too much. I think these people don't have very good tempers. Don't forget the rumors about that person. Let's go and discuss it with the people in the village first."

Master Cheng nodded and went to the village to notify everyone to come and discuss things.

When everyone came over, they were all confused, wondering if the boss had something to say that made him gather them so neatly.

Cheng Yun took a step forward and spoke solemnly.

"The reason we have gathered everyone together this time is because we have something to discuss with you that concerns the survival of the people and the village."

Soon there was a buzz of discussion from below.

"Boss, aren't we all doing well in the village now? What's the point of worrying about our survival?"

One of them was a young man with a weapon in his hand, and it was obvious that he was on patrol before he came over.

Said doubtfully.

"Yeah, even if there's something dangerous, we can just fight back. It's not like no one has come to provoke us before anyway."

Master Cheng shook his head and said heavily.

"This time is different. In the past, we were not afraid even if the government came to suppress the bandits. But this time, it is the current emperor who came..."

As he spoke, Master Cheng pointed his finger toward the sky.

Everyone was shocked, and the timid ones looked confused and uneasy.

Some of the braver ones asked calmly.

"Second Master, are you sure this is true? Did you meet a liar?"

When Master Cheng saw that the man didn't believe him, he glared at him fiercely.

"Why would I lie to you? It's not like I ate too much."

"That person was sent out by my elder brother and I just now. He is waiting for us at the foot of the mountain. Do you want to go and take a look?"

The man touched his nose awkwardly.

"Then let's see what to do."

Master Cheng looked solemn.

“He said that even though we were robbing over the years, no one was killed and we robbed selectively, and the money we earned was used to help the poor.

So we were given two choices, either to die or to submit to him.”

Now, everyone was silent and looked solemn.

If they all left, what would happen to their families, the elderly, the weak, the women and the children in the village?

Looking at each other.

Cheng Yun saw that the atmosphere at the scene had become very tense because of his younger brother.

Come out and smooth things over.

"Oh, don't be so serious. He said that as long as we surrender, he will make good arrangements for our families."

Some people questioned this at this time.
