Hearing Song Yan's words, the faces of the seven major families turned pale. At the same time, they also realized that they were in a dilemma. They could either stay and continue to confront Song Yan, or go back and wait for the arrival of the imperial envoy!
The other party killed 290,000 demon cultivators last night. The 20,000 of them were not enough to fill the gap between their teeth. Therefore, they were definitely not Song Yan's opponents. As for waiting for punishment from the court, although they might be exterminated, after all There is a glimmer of hope.
Therefore, in the end, the seven major families retreated into the city.
"Father!"
A girl fell into Zhou He's arms.
"Rong'er, don't you blame father!" Zhou He hugged his daughter tightly and said with a guilty look on his face.
"How could my daughter blame you?"
"That's good, you are really a good daughter to your father. Come, come and pay homage to Mr. Song. It's a blessing that he arrived in time this time!" Zhou He pulled his daughter Zhou Rong to Song Yan.
"Rong'er thanks Mr. Song for saving his life."
Zhou Rong saluted Song Yan very respectfully, with deep admiration in her clear eyes. Song Yan's deeds had long been spread throughout the Immortal Maple City. He single-handedly killed 290,000 demon cultivators and saved the entire Immortal City. Maple City only captured the giant snake demon king, so all the boys and girls in Maple City regarded him as their idol, and Zhou Rong, who was only fifteen years old, was no exception.
"No need to be polite, it's just a simple effort!" Song Yan raised his hand and lifted Zhou Rong up out of thin air.
After saying a few words to Zhou He and his son, Song Yan left directly, but Zhou Rong stared at the direction he left for a long time and refused to look back.
At noon on the second day, the envoy from the Zhou Dynasty finally arrived.
After the envoy arrived at Xianfeng City, he did not immediately listen to the officials' report. Instead, he sent his men to collect information in the city.
Two hours later, Xianfeng City Government Office.
Princess Yinhu, who is the envoy, is at the top of the list and is listening to the reports from her subordinates.
Princess Yinhu is the youngest daughter of Prince Gaoyang. She is highly valued by the empress and is one of her advisors. She entered the palace to accompany the empress at the age of eighteen and seldom leaves the capital. This time, she took the initiative to come. From Fairy Maple City.
When she heard that Song Yan single-handedly killed 290,000 demon cultivators and captured the giant snake demon king alive, her light blue eyes couldn't help but shine with a hint of brilliance. However, she was wearing a silver fox mask on her face. , unable to see the expression clearly.
After listening to the information collected by her subordinates, Princess Yinhu's eyes fell on Zhou He: "Master Zhou, are everything they said true?"
"Back to the princess, everything is true." Zhou He bowed and replied.
"Very good." Princess Silver Fox nodded, but her eyes became cold: "The seven major families betrayed the human race and took refuge with the demon clan, and helped the demon clan massacre the human race. They deserve to be punished for their crimes. However, the empress is kind and passed on to this princess. The order is to put all the heads of the seven major families on death row, waiting to be executed. All the people above the Golden Core should have their cultivation level revoked. Those below the Golden Core should find out that no murderer can avoid death. If there is someone whose life is in hand, kill him directly! "
Having said this, Princess Yinhu's eyes fell on a young attendant: "Sedum Xing, I will leave this matter to you. If you let someone go, I will take care of you!"
"Princess, don't worry, I will definitely not disgrace my mission!"
Sedum Xing quickly assured that he was one of the Royal Dragon Guards, one of the three royal guards. He was a fifth-rank official. His cultivation had reached the peak of the late stage of distraction, and he could sweep away distractions.
"Okay, I hope you won't disappoint me! Go ahead!"
Princess Silver Fox waved her hand.
After Sedum Xing led the people away, Princess Yinhu said again: "Zhou He."
"The official is here."
"You have made great contributions to stabilizing the situation in Xianfeng City. I now appoint you as the temporary prefect of Xianfeng City. When Xianfeng City is fully stabilized, I will take credit for you!"
"Thank you, Princess, for cultivating me!"
Zhou He said excitedly that if Princess Yinhu was the guarantor, the position of prefect would most likely fall to him. That one was from the fourth-grade official position, which was a three-level promotion in a row.
But he also knew that this time he had to do things beautifully to gain Princess Silver Fox's attention.
After Zhou He left, Princess Yinhu said to a young girl standing quietly next to her: "Xiao Sang, go and find out where Song Yan is at the inn. I want to go see him!"
For some reason, when she heard the name Song Yan, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and intimacy.
I still remember that when she was eight years old, after she suffered a serious illness, some incomplete images suddenly appeared in her mind. From that time on, she ordered someone to make a fox mask and wear it on her face.
Later, she was appreciated by the empress, so she was given the title Silver Fox. This is also the origin of her title as Princess Silver Fox.
Soon, Princess Yinhu and her party arrived at the Ruyi Inn where Song Yan was staying.
Nowadays, the business of the inn is particularly booming, because if you stay here, you can pay homage to Mr. Song at a close distance. Even if you can't stay, you can just come here to have a meal, and maybe you can meet Mr. Song.
Therefore, in the past two days, the shopkeeper was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He really hoped that Mr. Song could live here forever.
"A few guests, are you staying in a hotel or having a meal?"
As soon as he saw Princess Yinhu and his party, the shopkeeper knew that the visitor had an extraordinary identity, and he quickly came to greet them personally.
"We are looking for someone. Where is Song Yan? Let him come to see us!" Xiao Sang stepped out and said in a proud tone.
Hearing that the other party was so loud and asked Mr. Song to take the initiative to see them, the shopkeeper was immediately dissatisfied, so he said coldly: "Mr. Song is very busy. Not everyone can meet him if he wants to."
"Hmph, you know who my master is, why don't you ask Song Yan to come out to greet him!" Xiao Sang said dissatisfied.
"Xiao Sang, don't be rude!"
Princess Yinhu spoke: "Shopkeeper, I am an envoy sent by the imperial court to thank Mr. Song. Please inform me!"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper's face changed slightly, and he quickly said: "Everyone, wait a moment, I'm going to report it right now!"
After placing Princess Silver Fox in a private room, the shopkeeper hurriedly reported to Song Yan.
"Is there someone from the court?"
Song Yan didn't have much reaction. After asking where the other party was, he went directly to the box.
"Tuk-tuk!"
There was a knock on the door.
"Please come in!" A clear voice sounded.
Hearing this voice, Song Yan felt inexplicably familiar. He pushed the door open and his eyes fell directly on a woman wearing a silver fox mask.
"How dare you! How dare you disrespect my princess!" Xiao Sang couldn't help scolding Song Yan when he saw Song Yan looking at the princess nakedly.
After seeing Song Yan's appearance clearly, Princess Yinhu couldn't help but tremble slightly. The feeling of familiarity became stronger and stronger. But what she found strange was that she had never seen this person before. Why? Will it create a sense of familiarity
Song Yan ignored Xiao Sang's scolding and directly turned on his clairvoyance power to look at Princess Silver Fox's cheek. As a result, his eyes penetrated her silver mask, and the other person's face clearly fell into his sight. , a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but exclaimed in his heart: "Why are they so similar?"
