Chapter 245 Du Shangling changed sides and advised Ye Feng
sunset.
Yang Qingxiang had a smile on his face. Although he didn't know what Ye Feng was doing by sending so many cavalrymen out, through conversation with Ye Feng, he felt that Ye Feng had no guard or hostility towards him, so he felt relieved.
When he returned to the county governor's mansion, he arranged for the housekeeper to start preparing the evening banquet. He did not ask his subordinates to prepare a grand feast, but simply prepared some dishes.
Just lying on the recliner, quietly feeling the beauty of the sunset, as long as he could deal with Ye Feng, he could go back to his previous days as a local tyrant.
"Your Excellency the County Magistrate... Your Excellency the County Magistrate...something terrible has happened..." Qu Kun staggered, his face panicked and pale. He ran to Yang Qingxiang without caring about his image.
"Master Qu, don't be so panic. No matter what happens, the sky won't fall." Yang Qingxiang looked calm. He felt that Ye Feng was under his nose now, so what could happen?
"I just received news that the cavalry sent out by the Lord of Zhenguo has slaughtered all the county magistrates and officials of the six counties in Liuchang County."
As soon as Qu Kun finished speaking, Yang Qingxiang, who had been calm and composed, suddenly jumped up from his chair, dumbfounded, his expression became dull, and he muttered to himself: "Is the sky really falling?"
"Go gather everyone."
Yang Qingxiang came back to his senses, looked at Qu Kun, and said anxiously.
"As ordered!"
Qu Kun also knew that the matter was of great importance and did not dare to delay. He went to tell Nie Tong, Du Shangling and others as quickly as possible. More than a dozen officials, including county officials and counselors, came to Yang Qingxiang one after another. They all knew that Ye Feng had killed all the officials from the six counties, and they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air in their hearts.
"Everyone, what is this Zhenguojun up to? Since he has killed all the officials of the six counties, it proves that he knows that all the laughter and joy along the way are fake."
"Then why didn't he attack me?"
Yang Qingxiang narrowed his eyes slightly and his voice became deeper.
"Since this Lord Zhenguo is not going to tear his face for the time being, we will pretend that we don't know and see what he wants to do." Nie Tong was also very surprised. This Lord Zhenguo did not act according to the routine at all. What the other party wanted to do was completely incomprehensible. He said: "But I do have an idea. Anyway, the Lord Zhenguo already knows everything. We might as well tell him straight to the point. The worst that can happen is that both sides will be destroyed."
"We must tell the Three Element Divine Sect about this matter. There are many experts around the King of Zhenguo, and we need their support. Why not let the Three Element Divine Sect deal with Ye Feng, and we will reap the benefits."
"Lord Nie is really wise. I agree with your suggestion."
"Yes, we have done a lot for the Three Elements Sect over the years. Now that we are in trouble, they can't just sit there and watch."
"As long as the strong men of the Three Yuan Divine Sect are willing to take action, this state guardian will definitely not dare to act rashly. You must know that we still have nearly ten thousand death warriors."
……
Many officials thought Nie Tong's suggestion was very good and followed suit to express their opinions.
"Well! Lord Nie, please invite Elder Tianxing. We will start the banquet tonight."
Yang Qingxiang's face was cold and filled with murderous intent.
He knew very well that it was better to strike first than to wait for death.
"Master Du, can you please invite Ye Feng?"
Yang Qingxiang looked at Du Shangling and said slowly.
"As ordered!"
Du Shangling bowed. He had just heard that Ye Feng had massacred all the officials from six counties. He had mixed emotions in his heart. When he turned and walked out of the county magistrate's mansion, his steps became firmer, as if he had made up his mind.
……
"Lord Zhenguo, are you really going to the County Magistrate's Mansion to attend the dinner?" Wei Xian stood beside Ye Feng, with a look of worry on his old face.
Ye Feng looked calm as he looked at everyone and said, "How can we not go when Yang Qingxiang invites us to a dinner? We should at least give him some face!"
"But if he knew that almost all the officials of the six counties were beheaded, I'm afraid he would not give up and would most likely do something desperate." Wang Changhao's face was full of worry. He did not agree at all that Ye Feng went to the county magistrate's mansion to attend the banquet. It was obvious that Yang Qingxiang had bad intentions.
"Don't worry! You just need to lead the cavalry and guard outside the county governor's mansion. By nightfall, Li Shanxiao and some of the black-armored cavalry will have returned."
Ye Feng took a step forward and walked out of the yard, followed by Lao Huang, Dashan, and Yan Nishang who was wearing a cloak. There was an icy coldness in the depths of her eyes. If someone was blind and wanted to die, she wouldn't mind helping him.
When they walked outside the courtyard, they saw Du Shangling standing there. He smiled and bowed, saying, "The county magistrate is in the county magistrate's mansion. We have prepared some wine and are waiting for the arrival of the king!"
"Lead the way!"
Ye Feng waved at Du Shangling and said calmly.
Du Shangling was somewhat stunned. He really didn't understand where this state ruler got the courage to bring such a few people to attend a dinner at the county governor's mansion.
Wang Changhao, Su Hong and others followed with 500 cavalrymen.
Pfft!
As they walked, Du Shangling suddenly knelt down in front of Ye Feng, with regret and guilt on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, please leave Litian City as soon as possible. Yang Qingxiang has bad intentions and wants to attack you at the banquet. I have been in cahoots with Yang Qingxiang for many years, and I often feel extremely guilty and can't sleep at night. I have long felt guilty towards the court and my parents."
"Uh……"
Ye Feng looked a little surprised. He didn't expect that someone around Yang Qingxiang would have a change of heart. He immediately smiled and said, "Lord Du is able to turn back from his mistakes. This is commendable. I will attend the banquet tonight no matter what. I believe you must know a lot about Yang Qingxiang. Why don't you stand up and tell me."
"Zhenguojun... Yang Qingxiang has nearly 10,000 assassins and many guards under his command. They are all trained by him over the years and are quite powerful. I'm afraid that with only a few hundred cavalrymen, we are no match for him. I still hope that Zhenguojun will leave Litiancheng as soon as possible."
Seeing that Ye Feng was not about to leave, Du Shangling felt a little anxious and continued speaking.
"Get up! Keep leading the way!"
Ye Feng spoke to Du Shangling.
"All right!"
Du Shangling could only shake his head helplessly, stood up and walked beside Ye Feng, and began to tell Ye Feng about the crimes Yang Qingxiang had committed over the years, how he colluded with the Sanyuan Sect, deceived the people, and so on.
Outside the county magistrate’s mansion.
Yang Qingxiang had been standing there waiting early. When he saw Du Shangling bringing Ye Feng outside the mansion, his eyes were filled with murderous intent. He remained calm on the surface and quickly came forward, saying, "I am truly grateful to the Lord for coming to visit us. Please come in!"
