I'm a villain in the movies and TV series "All Heavens".

Chapter 2: All schemes and tricks are worthless in the face of absolute power!

Eunuch Liu is quite capable.

He was caught off guard and seriously injured by Mo Fei's sneak attack because he didn't expect Mo Fei to dare to attack him.

If it weren't for the successful sneak attack!

Even for Mo Fei now, it would certainly take a lot of effort to take him down.

The camp was patrolled by soldiers everywhere. If it really turned into a protracted battle, there would be many variables.

The internal energy that Liu Gonggong had accumulated over many years flowed into Mo Fei's body like a surging torrent. After being absorbed and transformed by the Star Absorbing Technique, it slowly flowed into Mo Fei's body, nourishing all the meridians within him.

This feeling was so wonderful and comfortable that Mo Fei couldn't help but hum aloud.

The absorption process of the Star Absorbing Technique was extremely fast. In just a short while, Eunuch Liu had been completely drained by Mo Fei.

Having lost his internal energy to prolong his life, Eunuch Liu immediately stopped breathing.

Little Winter Melon, however, was completely terrified by the dramatic events unfolding before her. Her mind was filled with confusion and doubt.

"What's going on? Didn't this guy just betray us? How come he betrayed his boss in the blink of an eye?"

The shocked Little Winter Melon was about to ask a question when Mo Fei raised his hand to stop him.

At this moment, Mo Fei had no intention of explaining to Xiao Donggua.

He bent down, picked up a sword that the eunuch had dropped, and with a single stroke, beheaded Eunuch Liu.

Amidst the splatter of blood, Mo Fei turned around and stood before Xiao Donggua. In the latter's terrified eyes, without a word, he slashed straight down at him with his sword.

"what……!"

Thinking that they might kill her to silence her, Little Winter Melon closed her beautiful eyes in terror and immediately let out a piercing scream.

However, after calling out for a short while, she found that she did not feel any pain for a long time.

"??"

When she slowly opened her eyes to check the situation, she found that the ropes binding her had been completely cut off by Mo Fei's knife.

At this moment, Mo Fei was also observing her with amusement, noticing her pale face filled with fear.

Seeing that Xiao Donggua had opened his eyes, Mo Fei pretended to be indifferent and casually handed Liu Gonggong's head to Xiao Donggua.

The bloody head, coupled with the hideous and painful expression on its face, was truly terrifying. Little Winter Melon trembled in fright and was about to scream again.

However, before Little Winter Melon could scream, Mo Fei spoke again first:

"Hey girl, do you want to live? If you want to live, shut up."

Upon hearing Mo Fei's question, Little Winter Melon forgot all about screaming and looked at Mo Fei with a face full of doubt and a hint of hope in her eyes.

Seeing the little winter melon blinking its big eyes at him, Mo Fei gently pinched her cheek before grinning maliciously and saying:

"Take the head and run. If you run fast enough, you can live today."

At this moment, Xiao Donggua was in a state of extreme confusion, especially in shock. She urgently asked Mo Fei:

"Dong Tianbao, what exactly do you mean? Did you not betray us at all? Is this all just a ruse on your part?"

Looking at the innocent young girl in front of him, Mo Fei smiled knowingly but didn't refute her. Instead, he feigned a cold expression and urged her in a chilling voice:

Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave now, you'll never be able to leave again.

Urged on by Mo Fei, Xiao Donggua reluctantly picked up a long knife. After giving Mo Fei a deep look, he immediately turned and plunged into the night, fleeing swiftly out of the camp.

"Catch the assassin...!"

Seeing that Little Winter Melon had already run quite a distance, Mo Fei smiled sinisterly and then suddenly shouted loudly. The loud warning immediately attracted the attention of the patrolling soldiers nearby.

When the soldiers saw Xiao Donggua running away with his knife and heard Mo Fei's words, they immediately understood the situation and began to chase after the assassin.

Watching the two groups of people gradually disappear into the distance, Mo Fei was secretly pleased, but he couldn't help but sigh that the outcome was even smoother than he had expected.

"The leader of the rebel group, Buddha's Laughter Pavilion, fled with Liu Gonggong's head after assassinating him. A group of patrolling soldiers witnessed it all; they are all witnesses. Perfect!"

It was nearly 10 p.m., and the sky was very dark. Little Winter Melon was already quite skilled in martial arts, and with a bit of luck and years of experience on the run, he managed to escape the soldiers' pursuit.

Upon hearing this news, Mo Fei was completely relieved, as his entire plan was now flawless.

……

Inside the largest military tent in the Los Angeles military camp.

Could it be that he is currently gathered in the military tent with He Kun and the Eight Great Swordsmen, discussing the aftermath of this assassination attempt?

"Your Excellency, Eunuch Liu has been assassinated by rebels from the Buddha's Laughter Pavilion, leaving the camp leaderless. While we are intensifying our efforts to capture the rebels, I think we should also report the situation in the camp to the court as soon as possible."

As soon as the group sat down, He Kun took the lead and pressed Mo Fei, saying, "Of course, we must report it."

Did he first affirm He Kun's suggestion before speaking again?

"However, I think we should wait until we catch the rebels who assassinated Eunuch Liu before reporting it. Otherwise, if the higher-ups investigate, wouldn't it make us look incompetent?"

Mo Fei, who was already the number two figure in the army and held military power, is now the leader of the camp after Eunuch Liu's death.

To win over the people below, it would naturally take some time, and he certainly didn't want Eunuch Liu's matter to be reported so quickly.

"Hmph! How can the assassination of a court official be concealed?"

"As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and an army cannot be without a commander for a day. You, Dong Tianbao, have tried to conceal military intelligence, leaving tens of thousands of soldiers in Luoyang leaderless. What are your true intentions?"

He Kun had always been very dissatisfied with Mo Fei, a nobody he had previously looked down upon, who had now climbed above him and become his boss.

Therefore, during this period, he deliberately opposed Mo Fei at every turn, because he was more senior, and most of the eight commanders favored him. Now, they were all echoing He Kun's suggestion, clearly indicating that they had already planned to join forces to sideline Mo Fei.

While secretly sneering to himself, Mo Fei, who had been planning this all along, suddenly slammed his fist on the table and stood up, angrily shouting at the people in front of him:

"With Eunuch Liu gone, I am now the highest-ranking officer in the army. He Kun, you make things difficult for me at every turn. Do you even respect me as the Commander-in-Chief? Do you all intend to rebel?"

"And you few sword commanders, you're in charge of the military camp's defense, aren't you? How could you neglect your duties to the point of allowing rebels to infiltrate the army and infiltrate Eunuch Liu's inner circle without your knowledge? What should your punishment be?"

Mo Fei's words immediately accused everyone of dereliction of duty. Just as everyone was in a state of unease, Mo Fei spoke again in a cold voice:

"You have half a quarter of an hour to find the people who were on duty today and make them accountable for their crimes. Otherwise, don't blame this garrison commander for being ruthless; you will all be convicted as accomplices and punished together."

The reason these sword commanders were all falsely accused was, of course, to seize military power. These commanders each held considerable military authority; if they couldn't be subdued, they would pose a significant threat to his plans.

"Dong Tianbao! You really think you're the boss of the army? You actually want to frame me and the other commanders?"

He Kun clearly saw through Mo Fei's thoughts. Therefore, he bluntly pointed it out and quickly used words to pull the several sword commanders into his own camp.

He turned to the assembled sword commanders and said with a pained expression:

"Fellow officers, I have a feeling that there is something fishy about the death of my father-in-law. Please work together to capture Dong Tianbao, and then we can interrogate him to find out the details."

Although the swordsmen knew Mo Fei was powerful, they had the advantage in numbers. Instigated by He Kun, several swordsmen drew their swords and immediately launched an attack on Mo Fei.

"You are committing treason and should be killed!"

While determining the nature of the individuals' actions, he immediately mobilized the internal energy he had been accumulating for a long time, and with a wave of his hand, two dragon-shaped beams of light suddenly burst forth from his palm.

The powerful and fierce palm wind, which had just roared out from Mo Fei's palm, immediately transformed into a golden celestial dragon, devouring the group of people.

The golden dragon stirred up clouds of sand and gravel in the camp, and after touching several sword commanders, it suddenly burst forth with a dazzling golden light.

The dazzling golden light illuminated every detail of the tent, instantly engulfing the combined attack of the several sword commanders and sending them flying.

The palm strike, still brimming with power, shattered the attacks of several people and then slammed into the two swordsmen closest to the front. The two were sent flying several meters into the air before finally crashing to the ground.

A series of piercing screams echoed throughout the camp. Most of the sword commanders who had just attacked Mo Fei were now wounded, and the two who had been hit by the aftershocks were barely breathing and on the verge of death.

He Kun, who was standing to the side, was stunned to see that Mo Fei had defeated all eight of the Great Swordsmen with just one palm strike.

When he saw Mo Fei turn to look at him, he, who was always a bully who preyed on the weak, was so frightened that his body trembled violently.

However, this guy was quite straightforward. He suddenly fell to the ground in a prostrate position, tears and snot streaming down his face. With a tear-streaked face and a sorrowful voice, he immediately begged Mo Fei for mercy.

“My lord, spare my life! I was blind and ignorant, and dared to try to stop a chariot with my bare hands. I was only asking for death. My lord, have mercy! I beg you to give He Kun a chance to repent. From now on, I will follow your lead and serve you faithfully.”

At this moment, the courage of all the commanders had been shattered by Mo Fei's palm strike. They no longer had the slightest will to resist, and they all got up and prostrated themselves on the ground, begging Mo Fei for forgiveness.

Mo Fei's eyes flashed with a cold light as he glanced at the people present. He ultimately suppressed his killing intent and pointed at the two commanders on the ground, who were now half-dead from charging too far forward:

"These two neglected their duties, which led to Eunuch Liu being assassinated by the rebels. You will personally send them on their way. Remember to give each of them one stab, and then behead them as a warning to the entire army."

After watching the men obey his orders and step forward, each killing two of the sword commanders with a single stab, Mo Fei turned to He Kun and instructed him:

"He Kun, we military officers are restricted by military orders and cannot leave our posts without being summoned. Go back and write me a detailed report on the military situation tonight. We will go to the capital at a later date and report the events that happened in the camp to the court."

Do you know how to write it? Do you want me to teach you?

"I know...I know! When the time comes, I will write it down and bring it to you for your feedback, sir."

Upon hearing Mo Fei's instructions, He Kun knew perfectly well that his life was spared. He breathed a sigh of relief and inwardly felt incredibly lucky.

He just stabbed someone as instructed, and he was the one who stabbed the hardest. These good-for-nothings have made him live in fear, and they deserve to die.
