Not long after, Ye Qiu brought Wang Xiaoyu to the former government headquarters in Shenzhou City.
As for the 300,000 Shenzhou soldiers, Ye Qiu left them behind to clean up the mess.
Ning Chuan, the Grand Commander of the Prefectural Government, came out to greet them with utmost respect and trepidation.
"Greetings to Emperor Xia."
Ning Chuan knelt on one knee, trembling, as if he had a premonition of something.
Ye Qiu looked down at Ning Chuan and said calmly, "You can speak while kneeling; you don't need to get up."
"Your subordinate obeys." Ning Chuan was even more panicked.
Ye Qiu smiled coldly and asked, "How many troops do you command in Shenzhou?"
"Your Majesty, I have 90,000 soldiers under my command," Ning Chuan said softly.
"Ninety thousand men, with all kinds of weapons, are fully capable of fighting, but why don't you protect the citizens of Shenzhou City?"
Furthermore, I haven't seen you send any messages to the capital. Why is that?
You need to give me an explanation.
Ye Qiu's tone grew increasingly cold.
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan finally understood that he could not get away with it this time.
Ye Qiu came here to settle scores.
"Emperor Xia, I feel that the Sword Dao Sect is a cultivation force. If I were to lead 90,000 brothers to fight against them, it would be like pushing my brothers into a fire pit. So... we did not take any action."
Ning Chuan explained cautiously.
*Smack*
Ye Qiu slapped Ning Chuan across the face.
Ning Chuan's face paled, half of his face was mangled, and fear filled his soul: "Emperor Xia, I know my crime, please don't kill me."
“Let me tell you, soldiers eat the people’s food and take the people’s money. When life and death are at stake, they must stand up and fight, even if it means certain death.”
Ye Qiu's shout made Ning Chuan shudder.
"Emperor Xia, I truly know my crime. As long as you don't kill me, I am willing to die on the battlefield."
Ning Chuan gritted his teeth and said.
"Go and gather your troops together," Ye Qiu said indifferently.
"Yes, yes, Emperor Xia, please come with me, I will take you to the camp."
"good."
...
Twenty minutes later, Ning Chuan brought Ye Qiu to the camp.
When the 90,000 soldiers in the camp saw Ye Qiu arrive, they all stood up, lowered their heads, and dared not look at him.
Faced with this great calamity, none of them mobilized a single soldier; instead, they remained holed up in their camp.
After Ye Qiu entered Shenzhou, he did not summon them. Instead, he temporarily formed a Shenzhou army of 300,000 men.
This made them all feel incredibly ashamed and embarrassed.
"Is everything here?" Ye Qiu asked.
"Emperor Xia, they're all here," Ning Chuan whispered.
"Very good." Ye Qiu addressed the entire audience: "Do you think your Governor Ning is a good person?"
"this..."
"Governor Ning, he..."
"He's not a good person."
"He accepted things from the Sword Dao Sect."
In a short time, many people spoke up.
Some people still had reservations and dared not say anything.
But most people, without any hesitation, revealed many of Ningchuan's secrets.
Ning Chuan trembled with fear upon hearing this and knelt before Ye Qiu once again to confess his sins and beg for mercy.
"How much did you take from the Sword Dao Sect? Where are they all?"
"In...in my residence."
"Very good." Ye Qiu patted Ning Chuan on the shoulder.
Immediately, the next second, Ye Qiu slapped down, killing Ning Chuan.
Ning Chuan collapsed in a pool of blood and died on the spot.
Upon seeing this, all 90,000 soldiers gasped in shock.
No one expected that Ye Qiu would kill Ning Chuan in an instant, without the slightest hesitation.
