Exile: Empty half of the capital and blow up the enemy's palace

Chapter 281 You Will Always Be a Marshal

After the meal, the Yun family did not continue their journey, but waited at the post station for Commander Pang to wake up.

Yun Chengying finished his tea and looked at Xu Ji: "Brother Xu, it's time. Commander Pang should be awake by now, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Commander Pang came out of the house, his eyes now clear.

Upon seeing this, Yun Chengying's face lit up with joy, and he quickly went to greet him, "Commander Pang, are you alright?"

Commander Pang exclaimed in surprise, "Eighth Young Master, what are you doing here?"

Yun Chengying said, "This is a long story. But Commander Pang, how did you end up here, and even become mentally impaired?"

Commander Pang's face darkened: "I helped the Duke of Protectorate to seek justice, and that tyrannical emperor suspected that I was disloyal to him, so he poisoned me and sent people to assassinate me."

Yun Chengying angrily said, "This dog emperor is seriously paranoid. He harms loyal ministers indiscriminately like this. The Great Zhou Kingdom will perish in his hands sooner or later."

Commander Pang said in a deep voice, "That tyrannical ruler persecutes loyal officials and appoints sycophantic treacherous ministers. The Great Zhou Kingdom will perish sooner or later."

He asked with concern, "Eighth Young Master, now that you're here, where are the old marshal and the others? Are they alright?"

Yun Chengying said, "Commander Pang, my grandfather and the others are here too, and they are all well."

Just as Commander Pang was about to say something, his eyes fell on Marshal Yun and his entourage. He was immediately overjoyed and quickly walked over.

"Pound has met the old marshal."

Commander Pang knelt on one knee to greet Marshal Yun.

Marshal Yun quickly helped him up, saying, "Get up. I am no longer a marshal. There is no need for such a grand gesture."

Pound said, "In my heart, you will always be the Marshal."

Upon hearing this, Marshal Yun said, "Since you consider me a marshal, then obey my command and rise."

Pound then stood up.

The elder lady asked Pang De with concern, "Commander Pang, what are you doing here? What happened?"

Pang De's expression hardened: "I helped the Duke of Protectorate to seek justice, but that tyrannical emperor suspected me of having ulterior motives and poisoned me, sending people to assassinate me."

The old lady's face instantly turned ugly, and she said angrily, "This tyrant is so cruel to loyal ministers, the Great Zhou Kingdom will sooner or later be ruined in his hands."

Pang De looked at Marshal Yun, "Marshal, what are your plans now? Are you going back to the capital or..."

Marshal Yun said, "I have resigned from my post. For the rest of my life, I only wish to find a peaceful place to live with my family."

Marshal Yun countered with a question: "And you? What are your plans for the future?"

Pound smiled bitterly: "I am now a rootless duckweed, and I also want to find a peaceful place to live."

He suddenly looked at Marshal Yun with a solemn expression and said, "Marshal, you saved me. If you do not abandon me, I am willing to follow you."

Marshal Yun pointed at Xu Ji, who was eating sunflower seeds: "It wasn't me who saved you, it was this young brother Xu who saved you."

Upon hearing this, Pang De was about to kneel down to Xu Ji in gratitude, but Xu Ji stopped him, saying, "No, no, no, you are older than me. I'm afraid kneeling to me will shorten my lifespan."

Upon hearing this, Pang De stood up and instead clasped his hands in gratitude: "Brother Xu, I will never forget your life-saving grace."

Xu Ji stuffed a handful of melon seeds into his hand: "Don't forget it, it was just a small favor."

He paused, then pointed at Yun Qingqing: "But if you really want to thank someone, thank Abao. If it weren't for her, I probably wouldn't have stepped in to save you."

Pang De quickly turned to Yun Qingqing, clasped his hands in gratitude, and said, "I will never forget your great kindness, Miss Ninth. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
