He walked up to Ruan Zhenfu and slapped him twice hard.
"Hmph! You traitor! You dog who sold out the land for personal gain!"
"Betraying Xijing to Tu Yuan, you may enjoy wealth and glory, but you no longer care about the lives of the common people!"
"But let me tell you! As soon as Xijing breaks away from Daqian, see if the Tuyuan Kingdom will find all sorts of excuses to send troops to Xijing! At that time, do you still want to be your local tyrant? Without Daqian, they will swallow you up in no time! You will die without even a trace!"
Ruan Zhenfu immediately retorted, "Nonsense! Release me at once!"
"Xijing has now declared itself independent, and the large army has withdrawn. If you bind me, that is tantamount to treason!"
Upon hearing this, the man scoffed, "Idiot! You think you can be the local tyrant of Xijing with your brains?"
"If you really had the ability to be an emperor, you should have raised a large number of private soldiers to support you in becoming emperor years ago. How many troops do you have now? Many of them are planted by my Red Tide Alliance."
"If you were even a fraction of a bit smarter, you wouldn't have been tied up so easily by me today!"
"With your brains, you'd never be the ruler of Xijing, not even in your next life!"
Ruan Zhenfu blushed with embarrassment and anger, and hurriedly retorted:
"You keep spouting these high-sounding words, aren't you just trying to become the ruler of Xijing, and also to become the emperor!"
Upon hearing this, the man flew into a rage and roared:
"Whether it's Xijing or Daqian, it's all been ruined by incompetent and foolish people like you! You are a traitor! Jin Fengluan signing this humiliating treaty also makes him a traitor!"
"Who the emperor is is not important! What matters is whether he can bring benefits to the people! People like you and Jin Fengluan deserve to die!"
"Bring me a knife!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a burly man next to him took a large knife and handed it to the man.
Ruan Zhenfu hurriedly shouted to those around him, "Help me! Help me! I'll guarantee you wealth and honor!"
But at this moment, how could Ruan Zhenfu's guards dare to move an inch? Not to mention that there were many people on the other side, even the surrounding civilians were all red-faced, showing signs of a group attacking.
Seeing that his pleas for help went unanswered, and that the man had already raised his broadsword, Ruan Zhenfu, tears streaming down his face and his crotch soaked, shouted:
"If you kill me, the Tu Yuan Kingdom will send troops to Xijing, and then nobody will live! Nobody will live!"
The man raised his broadsword and gave a cold smile:
"We, the brave and valiant men, would rather die in battle than surrender our land to those jackals and tigers!"
"If they dare to come, we will break their claws and crush their teeth!"
"Drive them all out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd erupted in cheers, shouting, "Well said! Well said!"
Amidst deafening cheers, with a "thud," the broadsword fell, and Ruan Zhenfu's head rolled to the ground.
Blood spurted from his neck, splattering onto the man's face and body.
The man, covered in blood, raised his broadsword and addressed the crowd in a resounding voice:
“We live here, and every inch of this land belongs to us. If anyone tries to seize it, we will fight them to the end!”
"Defending Xijing is defending ourselves! If the Tu Yuan invades, then let us fight them together!"
"Defend Xi'an!!!"
The crowd was so excited by the man's words that they immediately joined in the shouting.
The man's gaze shifted, his sharp eyes landing on the group of Nguyen Zhenfu's soldiers, and he roared:
"Xijing is our land, isn't it yours too?"
"When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. If you dare not fight for Xijing today, how will Xijing tolerate you in the future!"
“We all live on this land, we are all compatriots. Do you want to betray your own bloodline and become lackeys of the Tu Yuan Kingdom?”
“Our fathers shed blood and tears for this land, risking their lives to take it back from the red-haired devils. Do you want them to hand it back to us?”
"If you still feel that you have the blood of the Daqian people flowing through your veins, then take up your weapons and join me in resisting the Tuyuan Kingdom!"
"My people, the people of Dagan! We fear no one!!"
His words were so powerful and thought-provoking that the soldiers blushed and lowered their heads, not daring to look directly into the man's sharp gaze.
But soon, some soldiers raised their weapons and shouted, "Defend our land!"
One call was followed by two, three, and a hundred responded!
Thus began the momentous Xijing Incident...
——
News of Ruan Zhenfu's murder and the Xijing uprising spread quickly.
Subsequently, various powerful families in Xijing fled to Tuyuan Kingdom, having already received a promise from Tuyuan Kingdom.
If a riot breaks out, they can go to Tuyuan Kingdom.
On the border, a mighty army had already been stationed there. Upon receiving news of the upheaval in Xijing, a burst of laughter echoed from the central command tent.
"They really are a bunch of troublemakers, daring to defy their superiors! But... they're just what I wanted! Haha!"
"Since you can't govern yourself, then let us help you govern Xijing! Hahahaha!"
"Men! Pass on my order: proceed to Xijing! Suppress them!"
The vast army of Tu Yuan began its march towards Xijing...
——
Meanwhile, on this day, the army was only five days away from leaving Beiliang.
Qin Ze's points have reached—
Sixty million.

P.S.: These past two days have been long chapters, quite a lot of words. The weather is getting colder and colder; it's already below zero here, and without heating, I'm shivering while typing. I heard it's still warm in the south, I'm so envious....╥﹏╥...
Everyone, make sure you're well covered up in bed tonight. Goodnight! (?′?`?)
