"Brother Xue, it's obvious that the Xu family doesn't regard you as a human being at all! I took your position out of thin air. Did the Xu family give you a single word of explanation?" Yu Qinglin seemed to be able to read Xue Dongfeng's mind. Every word hit Xue Dongfeng's heart like a heavy hammer.
"Hmph!" Although Xue Dongfeng tried his best to hide it, he still couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
Yu Qinglin shook his head and continued, "The fact that the Xu family has done things so excessively can only mean that they are not planning to use you anymore! I dare to guarantee with my head that after Xu Yaoting takes office, the first thing he will do is The only thing I need to do is to capture you! By then, not only will you not be able to serve as the commander-in-chief, but your life may be in danger. How many loyal ministers and generals have been killed on unfounded charges since ancient times? ?"
"He dares!" Xue Dongfeng finally couldn't suppress it and became furious.
Yu Qinglin sneered and said, "Now the Xu family, even the emperor is governed by them, what else can they not dare to do? And with the 200,000 troops under your command, you can defeat the Xu family Not to mention anything else, Xu Tianlong has nearly a million troops under his command!"
The more Yu Qinglin spoke, the more solemn Xue Dongfeng's expression became. He remained silent for a long time, then frowned and said, "Is it possible that I will be forced into a desperate situation by the Xu family?"
"Of course not! The Xu family can be the home of the Qingyun Empire, but it cannot be the home of our Iron War Dynasty. If Brother Xue can dedicate Divine Thunder City to our Iron War Dynasty, our Iron War Dynasty will have sufficient reasons to give Xue Brother Xue will protect you. When the time comes, Brother Xue will not only no longer have to suffer the injustice of the Xu family, but he will also be able to take up the position of Lord of the Divine Thunder City in a glorious manner, how about that?"
"What!? You want me to betray the Qingyun Empire?" Xue Dongfeng's expression changed and he shouted angrily.
Yu Qinglin was calm and said calmly, "Brother Xue, you are wrong! It's not that you betrayed the Qingyun Empire, but that the Qingyun Empire abandoned you!"
"You... Okay, let me think about it carefully." Xue Dongfeng was obviously tempted, but hesitant.
This is a big deal, and it is understandable for Xue Dongfeng to think about it. Yu Qinglin smiled and nodded and said, "Of course! Brother Xue doesn't have to make a decision tonight. By then, in addition to Divine Thunder City, Moon Worshiping City will also be handed over to Brother Xue. The two cities must be taken care of. It’s indeed a bit heavy for Brother Xue to shoulder the responsibility..."
"What did you say? Yue Worship City also..." Xue Dongfeng was shocked and asked.
"Of course! To be honest, big brother, my army will soon surround the Moon Worship City. I am determined to win the Moon Worship City!"
"Haha...Brother Yu, you are such a generous person! It is from the Divine Thunder City and the Moon Worshiping City. I think your idea was based on the White Dragon Snow Mountain, brother?"
Yu Qinglin smiled and said, "As expected, I can't hide it from Brother Xue. What you said is absolutely right! Whether it is Shenlei City or Moon Worshiping City, they are just small border towns. We, the Iron War Dynasty, will not take them seriously. However, Shenlei City and Moon Worshiping City are very close to Bailong Snow Mountain and can be used as a supply base, so we have to capture these two cities!"
"If my guess is correct, once you capture these two cities, you will immediately seal off the White Dragon Snow Mountain, right?"
"That's natural! The fairy beasts and spiritual herbs in the White Dragon Snow Mountain are extremely important resources. How can we let others get their hands on them?"
"No wonder you gave me two cities in one go. I bet you don't have this ambition and have other ambitions!"
Yu Qinglin smiled and said, "Brother Xue, I will stay in Shenlei City temporarily for the next few days. When you figure it out, you can find me anytime."
"Don't think about it! Damn it, grandma, the Xu family is unjust to me, and I am too lazy to serve them! Just do as you say, and I will announce to the public tomorrow that Shenlei City will officially break away from the Qingyun Empire and submit to the Iron War Dynasty!"
"That won't work! Even if Brother Xue makes up his mind, you still have to wait until Xu Yaoting arrives at Divine Thunder City!"
"Why?" Xue Dongfeng asked impatiently.
Yu Qinglin's face turned cold and he said in a deep voice, "Because of Xu Yaoting! Another major purpose of my coming to Divine Thunder City this time is to bring Xu Yaoting back to the Iron War Dynasty alive! Someone wants to crush his head with his own hands!"
"Okay! Then wait until Xu Yaoting arrives!"
Yu Qinglin nodded slightly and said, "Okay! Brother Xue, I'll take my leave first!"
"Wait a minute! Brother Yu, since we all hit it off, you might as well stay at my place, so we can discuss the details."
Yu Qinglin smiled and said, "What else is there to discuss? As long as Brother Xue makes up his mind, is there anyone in this Divine Thunder City that can compete with Brother Xue? My master's birthday will be in three days, and I have to hurry up. Just go to Bailong Snow Mountain to find a decent gift.”
"White Dragon Snow Mountain? Oh brother Yu, it's very dangerous there now!"
"Haha... Thank you for the reminder, Brother Xue, but Qinglin will be careful! Brother Xue, say goodbye!"
After saying that, Yu Qinglin didn't stay any longer, turned around and walked out. Two black shadows descended from the sky silently and landed on Yu Qinglin's side, like a right and left arm, guarding him very closely.
Xue Dongfeng's eyes suddenly narrowed, and a look of shock appeared on his face. Looking at these two figures, it was clear that they had been lurking aside for a long time, secretly protecting Yu Qinglin, but he didn't notice at all. If it weren't for the fact that the auras exuded by these two people were different from those of the people who rescued the man in black before, Xue Dongfeng would almost believe that they were the ones who rescued the man in black.
Xue Dongfeng himself is at the peak of the ninth level. These two people are stronger than him, so what kind of state should they be? This is really incredible for Yu Qinglin. There is such a level of 'bodyguard' beside him. This General Longhu is indeed not in vain.
Back at Zhu Cai's inn, Zhu Cai and others were still asleep. Wandong didn't want to wake them up, so he led the man in black and Ma Yunliang into an empty room.
On the way back, the man in black and Ma Yunliang wanted to ask questions several times, but as soon as they saw Wandong's silent and slightly stern face, they swallowed the words on their lips.
Arriving at the room at this time, Ma Yunliang couldn't bear it any longer and said bravely, "Thanks to your Excellency, my sister-in-law and I were able to escape from the murderous hands today. I don't know your surname. Please tell me how to tolerate our brothers and sisters." Report back later!”
"Sister-in-law? Hahaha... Why didn't I know that in addition to a daughter, City Lord Chu also has a son as old as General Ma?"
"Ah!?" As soon as Wandong said this, Ma Yunliang and the man in black exclaimed at the same time. The man in black subconsciously touched his mask.
Wandong chuckled lightly and said, "To recognize someone, you don't have to look at their face. Sometimes, eyes are more reliable!"
When Ma Yunliang heard this, he instinctively looked at the exposed eyes of the man in black. The sad and melancholy look in his eyes was unmistakable and was definitely the only one in the world. He couldn't help but shake his head and let out a bitter smile.
It must have been this look that betrayed the man in black to Xue Dongfeng.
The man in black reluctantly took off his mask, revealing a beautiful and peerless face, it was Chu Yunyan!
"Thank you for saving your life, young master! I would like to express my gratitude to you, young lady!" Chu Yunyan bowed to Wandong Yingying and said with a slightly sad voice.
Wandong waved his hand and said, "Miss Chu, there is no need to be polite! I just have some questions in my mind, and I hope that Miss Chu can help me clarify my doubts."
"Young Master, you are serious. If you have anything to say, just ask. Yun Yan knows everything he knows!"
"Miss!" Ma Yunliang exclaimed softly, as if he thought something was wrong.
No wonder! Although Wandong saved their lives, it was difficult to distinguish between good and evil at this time. If the conversation is superficial and deep, it is better not to say it.
Chu Yunyan was much more free and easy than Ma Yunliang. She shook her head and said with a bitter smile, "General Ma, if it weren't for this young master, you and I would have died long ago. Are you still afraid of being plotted against?"
Ma Yunliang sighed, fell silent, and stopped talking.
Wandong asked Chu Yunyan, "Miss Chu, didn't Xue Dongfeng love you very much? Why would he want to kill you? I think Xue Dongfeng has clearly recognized your identity, but his men have done nothing to Show mercy."
"Hmph! Xue Dongfeng is simply a man with a human face and a beast's heart! He says one thing overtly and another behind the scenes, which is the most hypocritical thing!" Ma Yunliang said one after another.
Chu Yunyan let out a sigh, her face was filled with sadness, and she obviously acquiesced to Ma Yunliang's words.
Wandong asked again, "Then why did Miss Chu break into the General Military Mansion tonight?"
"To collect evidence that Xue Dongfeng killed my father!" Chu Yunyan gritted her teeth and roared in a low voice.
"Are you saying that City Lord Chu was harmed by Xue Dongfeng?" Wandong didn't believe that City Lord Chu died suddenly. But he didn't expect that the person who killed City Lord Chu would be Xue Dongfeng. Rumor has it that Xue Dongfeng and City Lord Chu were comrades who lived and died together, and were more affectionate than brothers. For those who don’t know the true relationship, it is difficult to imagine that Xue Dongfeng would kill City Lord Chu.
"It must be! Before my father's accident, he once said that if he dies unexpectedly one day, it will undoubtedly be caused by Xue Dongfeng!"
"Why would City Lord Chu say such things?"
Chu Yunyan shook her head slightly and said with some regret, "I don't know this. I have asked my father several times, but he refused to tell me every time. I thought I would find something in the General Military Mansion. The clues, unexpectedly, almost fell into Xue Dongfeng’s hands.”
"Miss Chu, haven't you carefully searched your father's relics? Maybe there will be some clues in the relics."
"I don't have a chance! The night my father died, there was a fire in his study for no reason, burning everything completely, not even a word was left!"
Wandong couldn't help frowning and snorted, "Such clean hands and feet!"
"Yes! This is Xue Dongfeng, who always does everything right!" Chu Yunyan's expression showed both hatred and helplessness.
"After tonight, Xue Dongfeng will be desperate to break up the relationship. I wonder what Miss Chu's plans are?"
Chu Yunyan pondered for a moment and said, "At this point, I have no other options to think of. In three days, it will be the birthday of Venerable Hidden Blade. Venerable Hidden Blade still has some friendship with my father, and he loves me." , I want to ask him to stand up for me!"
"I'm afraid this is difficult, isn't it? Hasn't Venerable Hidden Knife retired and no longer interfered with worldly affairs?"
When Wandong asked, Chu Yunyan's face immediately showed a look of sadness, and she said in a voice about to cry, "I know, but I really have no other way but... I'll give it a try, I hope I sincerely ask for it, I can impress him!" (To be continued)
