Marquis Mu Houchu curved the corners of his mouth: "I'll take that as a compliment."
"So, you helped the bandits defeat the imperial soldiers sent by the court?"
"If the imperial troops refuse to retreat, they will definitely not give up. After all, whether I'm really dead or not, they won't be reassured without finding my body. They might even opt to set the mountain on fire. That's why I had to repel them. In this incident, the Great Prince was seriously injured, and I narrowly escaped death during the failed suppression of the bandits due to a stroke of fortune. The report we spread is just like that. The Emperor can choose to believe it or not, it doesn't matter. He has disliked me for a long time, so I don't mind making him more wary." Marquis Mu Houchu said calmly.
Now that he has established a stronghold in Yu State, the Emperor needs to think carefully before taking any rash action against him.
