Everyone worked together to hold Xiao Yun down. Poor Xiao Yun was full of martial arts, but he could not move. He could only be tied up by everyone and pushed him in front of Bogutai Bahan and the other two.
Xiao Yun saw the smug expression on the faces of the two of them, and his heart was furious. He was unable to get angry. He snorted coldly and said, "What is the reason for a general? I have no grievances and no grudges with the two generals. Why do you and I have to do this? Besides, you and I are officials in the same court, so why should the general treat the officials like this?"
Bo Gutai smiled proudly on his face, bowed to Xiao Yun, and said in a silence: "I'm really sorry, Lord Xiao's martial arts are amazing. We are ordered to arrest Lord Xiao, and we have to come up with this bad strategy. I hope Lord Xiao will not be surprised?"
Xiao Yun said: "Acatching, are the two generals exaggerating? The lower official is the guard in front of His Majesty. What mistakes did he make? Please come and arrest them in person?"
Bahan sneered twice and said, "I don't know what you look like, it's okay to tell you. Someone in the court reported that when Lord Xiao was using the army to conquer Zhang Shicheng, he privately met with the rebel Zhang Shicheng and revealed the location of the granary of the court's army, so that the rebel Zhang Shicheng took the opportunity to burn the granary and let the court's hundreds of thousands of troops collapse?"
"It's just nonsense?" Xiao Yun was furious and argued: "Don't the two generals know what I, Xiao, are... Xiao is loyal to the court, thanks to His Majesty, and let him serve as the vanguard of Han people and fight with the army. Now that the army is defeated, how can it be what Xiao says? Xiao is definitely not that person. This must be a villain who framed me!"
"Haha...haha...is not bad, not bad, someone must have framed you. I believe that General Xiao must not be that kind of person, but... Someone saw Lord Xiao staying in Hangzhou Bay for more than two months, and during this period, he had many interactions with the rebel Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen. Could it be fake? Unfortunately, yesterday, someone saw Lord Xiao with his own eyes, and asked the court to surrender Zhu Yuanzhang without any effort. This is probably not fake? Lord Xiao said it was not you, but that again? Did Lord Xiao not do this yesterday?"
Xiao Yun was secretly complaining in his heart. Unexpectedly, a mere sentence was heard by someone who was interested, but now he couldn't defend himself. He stomped his feet and said, "What happened yesterday was indeed what the officials did, but the officials were just a few words of advice. It was not considered a rebellion. If the officials in the court's granary told Zhang Shicheng that it was definitely not what the officials did. Although the officials were Han people, they would not do such a ruthless thing. Besides, the officials have returned to Dadu now. With this, the officials would never do such a confused thing?"
Bogutai and Bahan were so happy when they heard him, their faces became even more proud. They sneered twice and said, "There is someone who has witnessed it. Can Lord Xiao still deny it? Such a big event will be tried by your Majesty himself. It is not just a matter of "I haven't done it"? I advise Lord Xiao to follow us obediently back to Dadu, so as not to make me embarrassed. If you beat Lord Xiao, it would not be my intention?"
"Hmph, who is the witness? Can I be blamed on my own words just by saying it?"
"Hmph, even if others are exaggerating, you will meet Fang Guozhen privately and assign Han Ming to join Zhu Yuanzhang. This ironic truth, if Lord Xiao does it, then Zhang Shicheng burns my army's granary, who else would be there if it were Lord Xiao?"
Xiao Yun said angrily: "When you are talking nonsense, how could Xiao do such a thing...?" When he said this, he suddenly remembered something and stared at Bogutai and asked: "Two generals, you just said that you were ordered to arrest the lower officials, but I don't know whose order... According to the lower officials, this dynasty arrested the important criminals of the court. I think it was because of the imperial order of Your Majesty. I wonder if the two generals have the imperial edict...?"
Bogutai's face changed and hesitated: "Stop talking nonsense. We are ordered by the emperor to arrest you. How can we not have an imperial edict? It's just that the imperial edict is the emperor's handwriting. How can there be an official like you who can meet you just by saying that you can see you? I advise you to go back with me honestly. Maybe Your Majesty will forgive you for your past contribution to rectifying his illness!"
Xiao Yun and other characters, after hearing the words of the two, they saw their faces change sharply. They guessed that they must have not come by the emperor's order. However, they dared to arrest themselves openly, and they thought they were not ordinary people. They thought of their appearance in their minds, and suddenly they glanced at Bahan's face, remembering that this person seemed to have seen him, but they couldn't remember where he had seen him for a moment.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard Bahan shouting, "General Bo, quarrel with him. The lord is waiting for us. Should I go back home quickly?"
"Ah... it's you... Hama..." Xiao Yun finally remembered where he had seen the man in front of him. On the day of the imperial court competition, he had seen Bahan following Hama sneakily. However, at that time, Xiao Yun had to deal with Zhao Huan with all his might, and glanced at him quickly, but he did not stay in his heart. At this moment, he shouted like this, and he had a flash of inspiration in his mind. He remembered his appearance, and he could not have seen this person here today.
Bahan's face suddenly looked panicked, and he was speechless for a moment. Seeing this scene, Xiao Yun understood even more. Thinking that the person who dealt with him was Hama, he gave him a sigh, smiled and said, "It turns out that the emperor didn't want to arrest me, it was Hama who wanted to harm me!"
