After transmigrating into the book, the prime minister always wants to farm with me.

Chapter 523 This composure is truly admirable.

Outside, screams filled the air, sending chills down one's spine. Just as Hu Qingshan was about to draw his sword and charge forward, he discovered that the black-clad guards were like people trapped in a maze, all jumping into the traps they had set. Even though they were right in front of him, the guards seemed to be unable to see him.
Instead, it turned around and jumped into the trap, and soon muffled groans were heard one after another.

A strange gust of wind appeared out of nowhere, as if it felt they hadn't died fast enough. A wave of wind swept over, and all the guards fell into a deep pit lined with sharp bamboo tubes. Another scream rang out.

The Prime Minister was seen sleeping peacefully and comfortably in the stone cave, resting with his eyes closed.

They acted as if they were at home, completely unaware of what was happening outside.

He was even more composed than this battle-hardened general.

That composure is truly admirable!
Soon the sounds of swords clashing outside ceased, leaving only a chorus of wails.

Hu Qingshan could hardly believe that so many top-tier bodyguards had all died because he had jumped into the trap.

They watched them die one by one, completely unharmed.

He immediately looked at Pei Yuanjun, who was sleeping soundly, and his expression became somewhat uneasy!

A chill ran down my spine; I had never seen anything so bizarre.

Is the Prime Minister's trap perhaps set by some kind of sorcery?
Just then, Pei Yuanjun suddenly said, "What are you looking at? It's time to get to work. Remember to bury all those corpses! Bring back the bandit leader's head, and I'll ask the Emperor for a reward for you when we return to the capital tomorrow."

The men following Hu Qingshan's group had their eyes light up! The Prime Minister was so capable, taking care of these five thousand soldiers and the royal guards with ease.

With His Highness the Crown Prince behind him, the Prime Minister's words imply that he is including them in His Highness the Crown Prince's camp.

For the time being, no one dares to touch them.

Even though I had just disregarded life and death, only a fool would refuse a chance to live.

"Thank you for saving our lives, Your Excellency Prime Minister. We swear to follow you to the death."

Dozens of people knelt down, genuinely admiring Pei Yuanjun's methods.

Pei Yuanjun remained indifferent, showing no change whatsoever despite their revelation of their true feelings. The crowd was once again astonished; the Prime Minister truly was a man who could remain unmoved even if Mount Tai collapsed.

"Alright, there's no need to pledge your loyalty to me. From now on, you are the Crown Prince's people. Remember to assist the Crown Prince well, and you will surely reap the rewards in the future!"

Hu Qingshan looked at Pei Yuanjun with some hesitation, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Pei Yuanjun gave him a cold look: "Your family members were killed when you left the capital! If you want revenge, go find the Emperor and Prince Zhao. Anyone who dares to lay a finger on the Crown Prince will die!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the whole Black Dragon Mountain trembled as the sky spun and the earth shook.

The crowd knelt down in terror: "We swear to serve His Highness the Crown Prince to the death."

Pei Yuanjun withdrew his spiritual power and said coldly, "Those who wish to leave now may do so immediately. I will not force you to stay. After leaving, you can find a place where no one knows you and live in anonymity to survive."

None of the dozens of people were willing to leave: "Please, Your Excellency, take us in! We want revenge!"

Their eyes were filled with overwhelming hatred; neither of them wanted to leave.

Pei Yuanjun looked at them sharply: "As long as you do as I say, you can not only save your lives, but also be promoted and rewarded, and even take revenge! However, this also means that you will be put on the spot as targets."

"Your Excellency, I am not afraid. I want to go back to collect the bodies of my wife and children! So I want to go back, no matter the danger. I beg Your Excellency to grant my request!"

Hu Qingshan was the first to kneel before Pei Yuanjun.

His eyes were filled with hatred and grief.

Pei Yuanjun sighed: "If you want to go back, you must first hide your emotions! Otherwise, you'll die even faster!"

That concludes today's update.
