Chapter 1297 Taking Over the Team

When Wu Ya and her companions entered the territory of Nanping, they were chased by Zhao Qiushan, the lord of Xingping City. The pursuers chased them all the way to Pingbao City. Fortunately, they were helped by an old man there, and they were able to escape safely.

Wu Ya and her companions always remembered the kindness of the old man. When they left Pingbao City, they also asked the name of the old man's son. Later, when they returned to Fengyun City, Wu Ya ascended the throne and transferred Chen Wende here, and promoted his position.

Chen Wende was just a low-level general in Fengyu City before. His promotion did not attract Cai Cheng's attention, and Chen Wende became another person worthy of Wu Ya's trust.

"Chen Wende, you go to the top of the city with my order. From now on, you will be responsible for commanding the defenders in the city!" Wu Ya said.

"I obey my order!" Chen Wende said solemnly with his fist clasped.

Chen Wende was just a low-level general before, but in a short period of time, he was able to control all the defenders of Fengyu City. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has risen to the top in one step. However, even in the face of such a great gift, he was quite calm and did not show his emotions.

"I have already written a letter to inform Wu Fan." Wu Ya said to the three people: "Before Wu Fan comes back, we must defend Fengyu City and never let Cai Cheng succeed!"

"Yes!" Luo Yue and the other two responded in unison.

Wu Ya looked at the three people with a serious face.

In fact, she was not very sure about defending Fengyu City. Everything depended on when the team to defend the king could arrive.

However, when the local defenders in various places learned that Cai Cheng really rebelled, would they really come to rescue him?

Wu Ya was not sure. Except for Wu Fan, she was not sure that anyone would come. Everything was just because of her identity as a woman.

At the beginning, she ascended the throne with the strong support of Wu Fan, Zhao Xingnian and others. She also had a certain reputation among the people, but she had no fame and reputation in the army. Even those big and strong soldiers were somewhat unhappy about her as a woman ascending the throne.

Now that Cai Cheng is rebelling, it is hard to say how many people will come to rescue him.

Compared with Cai Cheng, Wu Ya's only advantage is that she is a member of the royal family, and the only member of the royal family at present, which may help her a little.

As for Wu Fan, Wu Ya naturally trusts him, but Shanling Pass is not close to Fengyu City, not to mention that it is a border pass and has the task of resisting foreign enemies. It is impossible to dispatch all the troops back.

However, no matter what, Wu Ya will not admit defeat, will not sit and wait for death, and she will not miss any preparations.

In addition to arranging the actions of Luo Yue and the other two, Wu Ya also sent a team of people to Cai's mansion to surround and kill Cai Cheng. If they could see Cai Cheng killed, the danger of rebellion would be mostly resolved.

Luo Yue and the other two took the imperial edict given by Wu Ya to go to work and prepare to take over the army.

The first one was Luo Yang. He went directly to the command post of the palace guard. He looked at the people inside and shouted loudly: "The imperial edict has arrived!"

The people in the command post were slightly stunned, looking at this young man who had just joined the palace guard with a surprised expression.

The palace guards were very curious about Luo Yang's identity. However, seeing that Luo Yang was directly inserted by Wu Ya, and he had the position of commander as soon as he came in, everyone knew that Luo Yang was Wu Ya's confidant. Although everyone was dissatisfied with Luo Yang's young age and already holding an important position, they did not dare to show it.

"The imperial edict has arrived! Why don't you kneel down and receive the edict quickly?!" Luo Yang saw everyone stunned and shouted sternly.

These days, Luo Yang has grown up a little bit. He has a flexible mind and has been dealing with these old foxes every day. He has been learning secretly and improving himself. His temperament has changed a lot.

"I will accept the order!" Hearing Luo Yang's stern questioning, everyone in the command post knelt down to accept the order.

"Your Majesty has ordered that the palace guards will be under Luo Yang's command from now on, and no one shall disobey!" Luo Yang shouted to everyone.

"Why!?" A middle-aged man protested very dissatisfiedly as soon as Luo Yang finished speaking: "I am the commander of this palace guard. You are a little guy who has not grown a hair yet. You have only been here for a few days. You actually want to take my power? Don't even think about it!"

"This is the order of His Majesty, General Liu, do you want to disobey the order?" Luo Yang questioned.

"Even if it is His Majesty, you can't deprive me of my status as commander at will!" General Liu said loudly.

This General Liu had just been turned against by Cai Cheng. He knew Cai Cheng's plan and believed that Cai Cheng would succeed. Wu Ya would not be able to stay as the emperor for too long. Naturally, he did not take Wu Ya seriously.

After Cai Cheng turned General Liu against the emperor, he ordered him to wait for an opportunity and assassinate Wu Ya as long as there was an opportunity. However, General Liu had just joined Cai Cheng. He was not stupid. Assassinating the emperor was not a trivial matter. It would be easy to be investigated later. He was also afraid that Cai Cheng would push him out to take the blame, so he did not act immediately.

Secondly, he knew that there was a mysterious guard next to Wu Ya. That guard was the team that Wu Ya trusted the most. On weekdays, it was not easy for him to assassinate Wu Ya.

However, General Liu did not expect that while he was still hesitating here, waiting for the opportunity to assassinate Wu Ya, Wu Ya would act on him first and actually let someone replace him.

Could it be that Wu Ya discovered something?

However, no matter what, he couldn't give up his position as commander, otherwise, he would become useless to Cai Cheng. Once Cai Cheng succeeded and rewarded him, he would get nothing.

"How dare you!" Luo Yang shouted at General Liu, and then a group of people rushed in and surrounded General Liu: "You dare not listen to the order of His Majesty? I ask you again, do you want to give up the position of commander?!"

"Do you think I was scared? Little brat!" General Liu sneered.

He thought that he had been the commander of the palace guard for many years and had a deep experience. Wu Ya didn't dare to do anything to him. Those who surrounded him were just pretending to scare him.

What General Liu didn't expect was that after Luo Yang heard his words, he waved his hand and said, "Kill him!"

"You dare!" General Liu's face changed drastically when he heard this.

However, those who followed Luo Yang killed him without hesitation.

The other people in the command post were shocked when they saw this scene.

"Your Majesty has ordered that anyone who disobeys the imperial decree will be killed without mercy!" Luo Yang looked at the remaining people and said.

After hearing this, everyone became a little hesitant.
