Three punches shattered the demonic soul, young hero, I'm an honest man!

Zhao Lian's spirits lifted.

"Lord Luo, I am willing to personally lead men there and will surely capture Li Yu!"

Zhou Mingxuan also cupped his hands in greeting: "This subordinate is also willing to go and assist Commander Zhao."

Luo Qingyi shook her head.

"You two, as commanders of a thousand men, are attacking the younger generation. If word gets out, it will only bring shame to our Embroidered Uniform Guard."

"Moreover, Wei Zheng is only responsive to gentle persuasion and doesn't respond well to force; he only recognizes strength."

Zhao Lian looked puzzled: "What does Lord Luo mean?"

Luo Qingyi stopped looking at him and turned her gaze to the doorway.

Pei Yun was leaning against the door frame, listening to the conversation of the group with a bored expression.

He seemed completely oblivious to the tense atmosphere inside the hall.

"Pei Yun," Luo Qingyi called out.

Pei Yun then walked in, his eyes clear.

"Lord Luo, are you trying to make me clean up this mess again?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Mang, whose face was already ashen from the injuries and humiliation, glared at him angrily.

If his injuries hadn't been so severe, he probably would have rushed up to argue with Pei Yun.

Pei Yun becomes sharp-tongued when he loses all his cultivation.

Now he seems to have recovered somewhat, and is even more arrogant!

Luo Qingyi, however, seemed oblivious to the teasing tone.

"Have you heard about what happened at the Imperial Guard camp?"

Pei Yun shrugged: "I've heard a little about it."

"Liu Baihu suffered a setback in his campaign, while the Shence Army's Wei Langjiang was in a very impressive position."

"Now, everyone in the Northern Garrison Command knows about it."

These words made Zhao Lian and Zhou Mingxuan's expressions even more unpleasant.

Because they all knew that Pei Yun was absolutely right.

Luo Qingyi nodded.

"Since you know the seriousness of this matter, then I'll leave it to you to handle."

"Li Yu must appear in the Northern Garrison Prison by tomorrow noon."

Upon hearing this, both Zhao Lian and Zhou Mingxuan were taken aback.

Send Pei Yun to the Imperial Guard camp and take the person from the Shence Army's general.

Wouldn't this just make us even more of a laughingstock?

Zhao Lian almost thought he had misheard.

"Lord Luo, you mean to send Pei Yun?"

"This Wei Zheng is the most outstanding young talent of the Shence Mansion, the prodigy of the Wei family!"

"His 'Formation-Breaking Spear' technique is quite famous in the army. He is already at the peak of the eighth-grade Innate Realm. Liu Mang couldn't even last three moves against him..."

He wasn't questioning Luo Qingyi's decision, it was just too unexpected.

Zhou Mingxuan also had many doubts.

Although Pei Yun demonstrated exceptional wisdom in the case of Yinxingsha.

But the task at hand relies on real military force and is a head-on confrontation.

Wei Zheng is a peak eighth-grade innate realm martial artist and a fierce general in the army!

Although Pei Yun's foundation has been restored, it has only been a short time, so how could he possibly contend head-on with someone like Wei Zheng?

Luo Qingyi offered no explanation.

She has her reasons for choosing someone.

There's no need to pay attention to the doubts of others.

She simply stared at Pei Yun, her gaze sharp as a sword.

"I don't care what method you use."

"Whether you use your silver tongue or take direct action, even if you dismantle that Imperial Guard camp, I'll take responsibility for it."

The protectiveness and trust in these words gave both Zhao Lian and Zhou Mingxuan a jolt.

Lord Luo's regard for Pei Yun seems to far exceed their expectations.

Pei Yun narrowed his eyes: "The Little Spear King of the Wei family of Shence Prefecture is not just a name without substance."

"His protection of Li Yu is probably not only due to camaraderie among colleagues, but also for the sake of the Shence Mansion's reputation."

"This is not someone to be trifled with."

"I only care about the result," Luo Qingyi said calmly.

"If you can't do it..."

Pei Yun picked up the conversation with a smile, "If I fail, will I offer my head in return?"

A hint of a smile flashed in Luo Qingyi's eyes.

"What use would I have for your head? Just to annoy me?"

If you can't do it, then go to Baidi Tower yourself.

"Tell Yunniang that you, Commander Pei, can't even handle such a small matter. Don't let her fall in love with you in the future."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yun's smile froze instantly.

Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Lian exchanged bewildered glances, their expressions extremely strange.

I never expected Lord Luo to say such a thing.

Yunniang?

The most beautiful courtesan at Baidi Tower?

Lord Luo is so concerned about Pei Yun?

Pei Yunqian coughed and touched his nose.

This long-legged female boss is getting better and better at manipulating him.

"What, scared?"

Luo Qingyi looked at him with a half-smile.

"Lord Luo, your attempts to provoke me won't work on me," Pei Yun said with a nonchalant smile.

"However, this matter involves many aspects, and if I act too harshly, I fear it will cause trouble for you, sir."

He was testing Luo Qingyi's bottom line.

Luo Qingyi chuckled softly.

"If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up."

"You only need to remember that you are a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, representing imperial power and the laws of the Great Ying Dynasty."

"Some things, taking a step back opens up a vast expanse; some things, taking a step back leads to an abyss."

Her voice wasn't loud, but every word was firm and resounding, carrying an undeniable air of authority.

Upon hearing this, both Zhao Lian and Zhou Mingxuan felt a chill run down their spines.

They understood that Luo Qingyi was determined to use this incident to put pressure on the Shence Mansion and uphold the dignity of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Pei Yun was the sharpest knife she had chosen.

Pei Yun took a deep breath, his eyes flashing.

Luo Qingyi's words were tantamount to giving him the greatest authority and support.

However... this might also be a good opportunity to test one's own abilities.

He looked at Luo Qingyi and said solemnly, "Since Lord Luo trusts me so much, I will do my best."

"However, I have a small request."

Luo Qingyi put down her teacup.

"explain."

"Regarding Commander Liu's injury, the Shence Prefecture will cover the medical expenses..."

Pei Yun hadn't finished speaking, but the meaning was already clear.

Upon hearing this, Liu Mang was so angry he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Pei Yun actually intends to use his injury as a pretext to extort money from him?

Zhao Lian and Zhou Mingxuan were also at a loss for words, neither laughing nor crying.

Pei Yun's focus is always so unique.

The matter hasn't even started yet, and they're already thinking about medical expenses.

Luo Qingyi's lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

"If you can get it, that's your skill."

She paused, then added, "Also, if you handle this well, I'll give you another surprise privately."

"Perhaps it will be beneficial for your future foundation building."

Foundation building?

A look of shock flashed in both Zhao Lian's and Zhou Mingxuan's eyes.

Luo Qingyi, as the pacification commissioner, not only has a mysterious background, but his cultivation level is also unfathomable.

The surprise that Lord Luo sent was also related to Foundation Establishment...

Even Zhao Lian and Zhou Mingxuan, the two commanders, couldn't help but look at Pei Yun.

Lord Luo truly has a great fondness for Pei Yun.

Pei Yun's eyes lit up, and the smile on her face became more sincere.

"Thank you, Lord Luo! I will certainly not fail in my mission!"

He bowed, then turned and strode away.

His back view was dashing, as if the difficulties and obstacles ahead were nothing more than stepping stones under his feet.

After Pei Yun left, Zhao Lian hesitated before speaking.

"Lord Luo, is Pei Yun really capable? Wei Zheng, after all, is..."

Luo Qingyi picked up her teacup and gazed out the window with a deep look in her eyes.

"If he can't do it, there are probably very few people in the capital who can."

Her tone was calm, yet it conveyed a sense of certainty.

Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Lian exchanged a glance, both seeing deep shock in each other's eyes.

Lord Luo's evaluation of Pei Yun is so high!
