Chapter 19: Summoning you, Dong Tianbao, to the capital for an audience with the Emperor!

For the next two weeks or so.

Could it be that he has begun to fully supervise the training of the soldiers in the camp?

In order to strengthen his position in the hearts of the soldiers, Mo Fei began to appear frequently in the military camp.

"Erniu! I heard you were injured during training the other day, and the Commander even came to see you in person?"

"Yes! The commander has been visiting the wounded soldiers quite often lately, and I've benefited a bit from it too."

After answering his companion's question, Erniu proudly pointed to the bandage on his arm.

"See this? This bandage was personally applied to me by the Commander yesterday."

"Really? Then you, Erniu, have something to brag about. The magistrate treats us common soldiers so well. I really don't know how to repay him."

"That's right! With an adult like that by my side, when the time comes to fight, even if there are mountains of knives and seas of fire ahead, I, Erniu, won't even flinch."

During this period, Mo Fei ate, slept, and trained with the soldiers.

For soldiers injured during training, Mo Fei would occasionally go to the wounded soldiers' camp to personally bandage and treat them.

The soldiers have now begun to genuinely acknowledge and respect their commander, Mo Fei.

It can be said that Mo Fei's prestige in the military camp is now irreplaceable by anyone else.

With ample meat supplies, the soldiers' training progress was quite impressive.

More than half a month has passed, and the newly recruited soldiers are already starting to feel like elites.

Mo Fei's proposed live-fire exercises were a great success.

Although the soldiers have not actually been on the battlefield, they have gained rich combat experience through long-term actual combat training.

Even if we were to bring them to the battlefield now, they should be able to fight low-intensity battles.

While Mo Fei was processing official documents in his tent that day, a soldier guarding the camp gate suddenly came to report that an angel had arrived from the capital.

"What brings people from the capital here?"

Perhaps I was a little surprised for a moment.

When he arrived at the gate of the military camp, he saw several riders waiting outside the gate.

The group consisted of five people. The one directly in front was dressed in the attire of a Song Dynasty eunuch, who should be the royal envoy from the capital.

Perhaps the sight of these eunuchs makes one feel nauseous.

During this period, aside from paying his regular taxes, he hadn't really made any bribes in the capital. Now that this eunuch has come, it's probably not a good thing.

The group of people had obviously seen Mo Fei arrive.

The head eunuch knew that the person he was looking for had arrived when he saw that Mo Fei was wearing the robes of a commander.

Without dismounting, he rode directly in front of Mo Fei and said in a high-pitched, raspy voice:

"Are you Dong Tianbao, the acting commander of Luocheng?"

His tone was arrogant and condescending, revealing a complete disregard for others.

Mo Fei suppressed his displeasure and nodded in reply:

"It is I. May I ask what brings you here from the capital? Is there an imperial decree from His Majesty?"

"snort……!

"That's good. Recently, riots have been frequent in various provinces of the Great Song Dynasty, but only your Luocheng has seen abundant tax revenue and peace within its borders in recent months."

"His Majesty is very curious about your governance, so he ordered me to come to Luoyang to summon you to the capital for an audience. Arrange your affairs and come with me as soon as possible." Although the eunuch said this, Mo Fei saw a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

"There must be something fishy about this. Let me probe!"

"Since you have traveled a long way to come here, why don't you come into my camp and I will host a banquet to welcome you and wash away the dust of your journey?"

"No! The Emperor was urging us to hurry when we left. You should come with us to the capital to meet the Emperor."

The father-in-law refused Mo Fei's welcoming banquet almost without hesitation. This made Mo Fei even more suspicious.

But he didn't show it on his face, and instead said calmly:

“Alright! Please rest for a while, Father-in-law. I will arrange the affairs in the camp and then go to the capital with you.”

Upon returning to the camp, Mo Fei first summoned his subordinate Dao Tong and told them about his journey to the capital to meet the emperor. Only then did he reveal his speculations.

"There must be some hidden reason for this trip to the capital. Given the current emperor's incompetence, it is impossible for him to summon me to the capital for such a trivial matter."

“During this time, we have not been able to maintain good relations with the court. I feel that someone must have spoken ill of me to the emperor. I am afraid that there will be some conspiracy against me after we enter the capital.”

Everyone agreed with Mo Fei's analysis.

If the current emperor could simply send someone to the capital to be praised and receive an audience with him for even the slightest achievement in a local area, how could the Southern Song Dynasty have ended up in such a state?

Knowing the reason, Cheng Lei shouted directly:

"My lord, although you are a peerless martial artist, it is still too dangerous for you to go to the capital alone."

Since the court is beyond saving, why don't you just lead us in rebellion, sir?

The other swordsmen were not surprised after hearing the ridiculous story.

Having followed Mo Fei for so long, they naturally had a good idea of ​​what he was thinking, so they all chimed in with their own words of protest.

In such a chaotic world, they felt that the Song Dynasty was doomed, so they had long harbored the intention to rebel.

Mo Fei raised his hand to interrupt the crowd's commotion and shook his head.

"It's not the right time to rebel now."

“If we rebel now, even if we defeat the current emperor, it will only benefit the Jurchens and the Mongol Tartars in the end.”

"I have decided to go to the capital with those people."

"After I left, Xue Gang and Cheng Lei were in charge of all affairs in the camp, with Xue Gang in charge and Cheng Lei in charge."

Mo Fei's arrangement was the result of his careful consideration. Cheng Lei was loyal, and Xue Gang was steady. The two complemented each other and would certainly not disappoint him.

"Xue Gang, later you can select ten skilled fighters from the martial monk camp to accompany me to the capital."

"This trip to the capital is uncertain, and I've entrusted my entire fortune to you. You must take good care of it for me."

Mo Fei jokingly said to the two of them:

Seeing that Huang Moming had entrusted him with such an important task, Xue and Cheng were both grateful and knelt down, saying:

"Your humble servants Xue Gang and Cheng Lei will certainly live up to your high expectations. As long as we live, Luo City will always belong to you."

Thank you to Wangliyou, Da Pang Feiyang, Kongshan Baiwu, and Jiangyu for your votes! I will write well in return!
