Chapter 162 Apologizing to His Highness

After Ye Qing went out, he indeed saw a huge army, like a tidal wave, surrounding the Ye family completely.

A chilling, murderous aura permeated the air.

Having seen many storms in his life, Ye Qing naturally understood the situation clearly.

In the distance, many people were watching closely.

Like Ye Qing, they also had no idea what had happened.

I don't understand what the Silver City Legion means by this.

Ye Qing walked to the main gate of the Ye family and shouted to Hao Danteng, who was standing directly in front of the legion.

"Lord Hao, how have you been? We were just enjoying drinks together not long ago, and now you've come with your troops. What brings you here?"

Upon hearing this, Hao Danteng snorted coldly.

"Ye Qing, I consider you a friend and invited you to the city to reminisce, but you see me as an enemy and want to kill me."

The atmosphere froze instantly upon hearing this.

Countless people looked at Hao Danteng, but none of them understood the meaning behind his words.

Ye Qing wants to kill City Lord Hao?

How is that possible?

Even if you gave Ye Qing ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to do that.

"Lord Hao, we have no enmity between us, so please forgive me for not understanding your meaning."

Ye Qing said, completely bewildered.

"Throw it down."

Hao Danteng gave the order.

As soon as he finished speaking, two soldiers behind him carried Ye Xiao's already frozen body and threw it directly towards the Ye family.

Boom!

The body crashed to the ground, rolled twice, covered in mud, and made a crisp sound.

Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that it was Ye Xiao's corpse.

this……

What the hell is going on?

Ye Xiao is dead?

More importantly, how could it be Hao Danteng who brought the body?

Could it be that he killed Ye Xiao?

But what was the purpose of killing Ye Xiao?

It should be noted that although Ye Xiao is arrogant and domineering, and a complete playboy, he is absolutely Ye Qing's darling and the apple of his eye.

For a moment, everyone was completely stunned.

"Xiao'er!"

Upon seeing this, Ye Qing felt as if his heart had been violently clenched, causing him excruciating pain.

His brain was suffocating, and he almost roared.

"Lord Hao, why did you kill my son!"

"I also want to ask you, where did you get the audacity to order Ye Xiao to assassinate His Highness!"

Hao Danteng roared coldly.

Ta-da!

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he almost fainted on the spot.

Even if he were senile, he would never let Ye Xiao kill Zhou Xianzong.

He also understood the consequences of assassinating Zhou Xianzong.

That's a heinous crime that could implicate nine generations of one's family.

"I have found out that your son Ye Xiao came to the city lord's mansion during the banquet. My guards thought he was there to attend the banquet, so they let him in. I never imagined that this wretched boy was there to assassinate His Highness."

He went to Fish Lake alone, only to find that His Highness had already left. He chased after him all the way to His Highness's room. If His Highness hadn't been protected, he would likely have already been killed. Ye Qing, do you know what the crime of assassinating His Highness is?!

Ye Qing's face turned deathly pale, and he was completely speechless.

No wonder he couldn't find Ye Xiao when he came back.

It turns out that this unfilial son went to the city lord's mansion.

That's really bad.

They lost their lives.

"Silver City Legion, Royal Guards, listen to my command!"

Hao Danteng held the city lord's token high in his hand and shouted loudly.

"exist!"

The resounding voice, like thunder, echoed across the sky above Silver City.

"Ye Qing ordered Ye Xiao to assassinate His Highness. This crime deserves death, and his entire family, except for the elderly, weak, women, and children, should be exterminated!"

Hao Danteng gave the order.

"kill!"

In an instant, the generals of the city lord's mansion, the Silver City Legion, and the personal guards all charged towards the Ye family.

The once mighty Ye family now appears as insignificant as a small boat, on the verge of collapse at any moment.

The Ye family members, who had been secretly observing everything, panicked instantly and lost all courage to fight.

They had long been overwhelmed by the army's momentum and were like stray dogs.

"Stop them!"

Ye Qing panicked and shouted loudly.

The Ye family members, who had already collapsed, dared not stop them. Even those with courage were few and far between.

How could they possibly withstand it on their own?

When the army arrived, the Ye family was instantly overwhelmed.

The Silver City Legion's terrifying combat power has once again refreshed everyone's understanding.

That's terrifying.

This is the difference between the City Lord's Mansion and aristocratic families and sects.

No matter how much Ye Qing roared and resisted, he could not escape death in the end.

Although he was powerful, he was no match for four opponents and was defeated in a short time.

He ultimately died at the hands of a general.

This can no longer be described as a battle; it was a devastating massacre.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Ye family was covered in blood, and cries of agony filled the air.

As Hao Danteng said, no one can escape the disease except for the elderly, children, women and kids.

This battle came quickly and ended even faster.

The once prosperous Ye family was reduced to ruins overnight.

All of this was caused by Ye Xiao.

If Ye Qing had disciplined his children properly, the Ye family would not have been destroyed.

This has terrified many people, leaving them speechless with fear.

"Lord of the city, the Ye family has been wiped out."

At this moment, a general walked over.

"Take Ye Qing's body with me back to the City Lord's Mansion and apologize to His Highness."

Hao Danteng said in a deep voice.

“It’s all in the past. Didn’t you kill him to vent your anger, young master? Besides, Lord Hao said he would give you an explanation.”

Yingxi, on the other hand, took it all in stride, and she wasn't the main victim.

Zhou Xianzong snorted coldly and said indifferently.

"I'd like to see what kind of explanation Hao Danteng can give me. He can't possibly give me some gold and silver jewelry, can he? I'm not interested in those things."

"That shouldn't be the case, Lord Hao shouldn't be that foolish."

Yingxi shook her head.

Zhou Xianzong nodded slightly.

"Boss, it's getting late. Why don't you take a rest first? I'll call you if I need anything later."

Erhu said in a simple and honest manner.

Zhou Xianzong was speechless. This guy's head is really blockheaded. How can I sleep after something like this happened?

He waved his hand and spoke.

"Let Zhou Miao in."

"good."

Erhu responded and turned to go out to call Zhou Miao.

Soon, Zhou Miao walked in, knelt on one knee, and lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhou Xianzong at all.

He was also very afraid and quietly awaited Zhou Xianzong's judgment.

"General Zhou Miao, a criminal, pays his respects to Your Highness."

"How many years have you been with me?"

Zhou Xianzong closed his eyes, looking as if he were resting.

"Including this year, it's the twelfth year."

Zhou Miao told the truth.

He was assigned to be by Zhou Xianzong's side when Zhou was very young, to take care of his safety.

"For the past twelve years, you have worked diligently and without making the slightest mistake, which makes me very gratified."

Zhou Xianzong nodded and sighed.

"But according to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, what happened tonight is a serious crime that warrants beheading. However, considering your many years of hard work and great contributions, and the fact that you reacted in a timely manner, this matter should not be mentioned again in the future, and it should be treated as if it never happened."

"Your Highness!"

Zhou Miao suddenly raised his head, and this man who only knew how to kill had bloodshot eyes.

He was indeed a suicide soldier, and he knew all too well that his role was to be an obedient killing machine.

But he wasn't stupid; how could he not realize that Zhou Xianzong was trying to clear his name?

He also ordered that the matter not be mentioned again.

The purpose is to prevent others from finding any fault with him.
