Chapter 23 The Prince
Fengcheng is one of the most prosperous cities directly under the Donghua Empire. The tax revenue of this city is richer than that of a state. It is a good place that the imperial court is quite fond of. But there is an ancient sect in this place -
- Fengmen. They have deep roots in Fengcheng. Fengmen is involved in most of the businesses in the city, and the sect is very powerful. Later, they joined the Tianshan Saintess Alliance, which made Fengmen's influence even greater than before.
Although Fengcheng is a city of the Donghua Empire, and there are city guards and garrisons here, many people know that only Fengmen is the actual controller here, and the annual tax revenue is 55% of Fengmen's.
Although the imperial court wanted to remove this thorn, it never dared to act rashly, because behind them was Tianshan, an alliance that even the empire was afraid of.
In order to ensure the safety of the empire, the imperial court placed two elite field battalions in the north and south of Fengcheng. However, Fengmen has always been peaceful and has never done anything extraordinary, so these two field battalions have never been deployed. And because of this practical
It's a Fengmen area, so the security is amazing. It's almost to the point where people don't pick up things on the road and don't close their homes at night. So the direct-controlled army and the officers of various yamen here have nothing to do, and they wander around the streets lazily all day long.
But today is a different day. Tens of thousands of direct-controlled garrison troops all over the city suddenly started to move in full swing, surrounding the city center from all directions. The city guards even went into battle, sweating profusely, and led the officers from various yamen to rush towards the city.
Go to Fengyue Tower.
What made the people even more horrified was that the two field battalions stationed not far outside the city moved south and north. Within an hour, the absolutely elite Sword Tiger Cavalry had arrived at the city and guarded all the main entrances and exits.
Rumors spread that the imperial court could not help but take action against Fengmen, otherwise there would be some big event that would bring these two field camps over.
Of course, the most horrified person was Fengmen. At the moment when the direct-controlled army in the city took rapid action, the news had already reached Fengmen's chief helm.
Fengmen's huge Shijin Mansion, plus the east and west wings, gardens and channels, covers an area of no less than sixty acres. Apart from the Tianguan Temple in the center of Fengcheng, it is the most extensive mansion in Fengcheng. Today, the main hall of Fengmen
, the contemporary leader Feng Yang was sitting in the main seat with a surprised look on his face.
Feng Yang is only fifty-three years old, and his aura is restrained. Most people cannot feel his true strength at all. He has a sharply angular face, long hair with a few white hairs, and wears a Fengmen long-wearing jacket.
Wearing a green robe, he has a very well-proportioned figure, a few flowing green beards, and he looks handsome.
A pair of eyes were chattering, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Feng Wu sat under his right hand, and Feng Xue and Feng Yu sat on the other side.
Li Pin stood in the hall no matter where he was, with a solemn look on his face.
"Master, has the imperial court started to attack our Fengmen? This is too sudden. Since the establishment of the Donghua Empire, our Fengmen have never caused trouble for them, and we have always been responsible for the security of this Fengcheng. They still have
What’s there to worry about?”
"Yes, Master, why don't we rebel? With Fengmen's current strength, we can easily control Fengcheng completely. When the time comes, Master will be the king on his own, wouldn't it be great!" Shi Ye agreed.
"Shut up, all of you!" Before Feng Yang could speak, Feng Wu had already slapped the table and stood up. She said coldly, somewhat ironically: "Have you ever considered the people in the city? Have you ever considered Donghua?
The empire's army is coming? How many innocent people will be killed or injured by then? Besides, you still haven't figured out what happened, so you still have the nerve to say that you have taken control of Windy City? You're not afraid that people will laugh out loud."
"Master, the second senior brother is back!" A young man with a resolute face stepped into the hall. The eyes of Li Pin and the others suddenly became sharp, and they turned their faces aside and ignored him.
"Kettle, have you figured out what's going on?" Feng Yang looked at Li Pin and the others thoughtfully, the coldness in his eyes disappeared, and then he asked the person who came in.
"Master, I just found General Liu of the Directly Administered Army. He said that an important person had an accident in Feng Yue Tower and killed someone. He seemed to have been assassinated. That's why there was such a big commotion and it has nothing to do with Fengmen!"
Keke gave Li Pin and the others a cold look before reporting to Feng Yang.
Everyone in the hall was obviously relieved. No matter how powerful Feng Sect was in Feng City, it was indeed unable to defeat the entire empire.
"Feng Yue Tower? Isn't that the Lin family's business?" Li Pin suddenly said with a gloating smile.
"Yes, it's the Lin family's business!" Feng Wu stood up, walked to the hall with his arms on his back, and said with a cold expression: "What we need to find out now is who the big shot was.
Why have the field camps outside the city been mobilized? Brother Shui, please find out immediately whether they are coming for my Fengmen."
"Don't worry, junior sister, I'll be there right away!" Keke smiled sarcastically, turned and left.
Feng Wu turned around and said to Feng Yang: "Father, I think it's better for you to go there in person. If you are from the capital, then most of the time you come here with bad intentions. If necessary, please be sure to ask Tianshan and Tianguan to come forward."
"I understand!" Feng Yang stood up, and while ordering the horses to be prepared, he also said to Feng Wu: "Your sisters have just come back, so don't worry about this matter. Have a good rest, and let Li Dan, the water cup, accompany you for a walk tomorrow!"
"
Feng Wu nodded in agreement, and Li Pin hurriedly smiled at Feng Wu and said, "If you are going to play tomorrow, please call me, senior brother. I have wanted to go out for a long time, but unfortunately I have never had this opportunity!" After saying that, he immediately followed Feng Yang.
footsteps.
Feng Wu smiled coldly and ignored him, then turned around and led his two sisters back to the inner house. Feng Yu stretched and laughed and said lazily: "I don't know what happened to that boy Chu Yun. We promised to let dad thank him properly.
Well, I didn’t expect that we got separated.”
Feng Wu couldn't help but feel tenderness in her heart. Thinking of Chu Yun's rogue appearance, a gentle smile appeared on her cold and pretty face unconsciously, making Feng Xue roll her eyes.
In Fengyue Tower, Xuanyuan Xing sat carelessly on the sofa in the hall, holding a pretty girl with blond hair and blue eyes in one hand, looking cynical and dandy.
Chu Yun raised his chest and raised his head, clasping his hands behind his back, standing there with a fake look. Eight guards wearing the imperial emblem and the rank emblem issued by the Imperial Martial Arts Academy stood aside, and invisible pressure filled the entire place.
hall.
Those two emblems made Chu Yun drool. One represented the emblem of the imperial guard who could dominate the officialdom outside the palace, and the other was a rank emblem certified by the Imperial Martial Arts Academy.
What made Chu Yun drool was that it was made of bronze and had a rhombus shape. It was the same as the emblem of the Youwu Association. It was engraved with the patterns of eighteen kinds of weapons, with five five-pointed stars surrounding a 'Martial Arts'.
Words. The only difference from the Martial Arts Association is that the emblem is surrounded by a circle of mysterious patterns representing the imperial family.
These eight imperial guards are all five-star military officers and half-step martial arts schools!
Ziyuan of Fengyue Pavilion and the pavilion master were both kneeling aside shivering, not daring to raise their heads. A large amount of cold sweat broke out from the pavilion master's forehead and soaked a large area of carpet.
Fengcheng City Shou rushed in with his head covered in robes. He also had cold sweat on his forehead. When he came to the hall, his legs went weak and he knelt down on the ground. He shouted: "Your Majesty, Fengcheng City Shou Lin Miao, please visit His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."
!”
The Fengyue Pavilion Master and others who were kneeling aside trembled all over again, Prince! Although they had already guessed the young man's identity, when they heard the city guard's confirmation, they were so frightened that they almost collapsed to the ground.
Xuanyuan Xing didn't say a word, as if he didn't see the city guard coming in at all. He raised his head and looked at Chu Yun beside him, laughing and saying: "Chu Yun, thanks to you this time, this young master escaped from the disaster.
This young master will definitely repay you for your life-saving kindness."
Chu Yun hurriedly smiled flatteringly and said: "Brother Xing, what are you talking about? This is Brother Xing, you are so prosperous, how can I get any credit? Of course, I don't want anything in return. I can do a good job with Brother Xing in the future.
I am completely satisfied.”
Xuanyuan Xing twitched his eyebrows and looked at Chu Yun with a sinister look: "I said you are even more flattering than my eunuchs. How about you cut off your descendants and become a general manager in my house?"
Chu Yun shuddered, straightened his back in a hurry, and coughed twice to make his voice thicker and louder: "Brother, how can you say that? How can you become a eunuch if you are so strong and iron-blooded? Give it to me.
A great general is more or less the same." He glanced at Xuanyuan Star with a wink, and chuckled, "I wonder if you are jealous, brother, that I can last longer than you?"
Xuan Yuan
Come to assassinate, can you explain to me what's going on? Oh~ By the way, this building is owned by your family, right? The assassin who ran away from your family's business, how can you say that you have such a relationship?
Can you get away with it?"
Lin Miao, the city guard, was so frightened that he cried out in great panic: "Your Highness Mingjian, even if I have 11,100,000 courages, I would not dare to assassinate Your Highness. This must be someone's frame-up to frame my Lin family!"
Xuanyuan Xing said nothing, but played with the girl's firm and soft breasts in his arms in great silence. Several people in the hall were sweating like rain, and almost fainted from fright.
"Your Highness, the generals of the 3rd and 4th Field Battalions have an audience!" a guard yelled.
"Please come in!" Chu Yun hurriedly passed the message on his behalf. After a while, he saw two strong men with heavy backs and heavy armor stepping in. Looking at the emblems on their chests, they were both warrior-level masters.
What opened Chu Yun's eyes was that the heavy armor on their bodies weighed hundreds of kilograms, like two towering iron towers.
Xuanyuan Xing hurriedly waved to them to stand aside before they could say their greetings. Then he looked at Lin Miao with a gloomy face and sneered: "Lin Chengshou, this Fengyue Pavilion is your family's business, and you are the owner of this city."
Shou, how do you want me to believe that the assassination has nothing to do with you?"
