The first city in the north of Tianyan Pass, Shuangxu City!
The tallest Fengyu Tower in the city is different from the usual bustling scene with constant stream of visitors!
The bottom of Fengyu Tower was guarded by many black-clad guards with swords, and none of the guests who usually came and went could enter.
Some people were discussing, "Who is this important person who has come? Why has he booked Fengyu Tower?"
"He must be a top figure, otherwise who would have the guts to rent out Fengyu Tower? Isn't he afraid of those jianghu people causing trouble?"
"Yeah, look at these guards. One look from each of them makes my legs tremble!"
At this moment, a majestic and sturdy man came out and shouted at the onlookers: "Scatter! If you continue to talk here, I will arrest you all and lock you up!"
The crowd of onlookers also quickly retreated.
After all, how could these ordinary people make things difficult for these big shots?
At this moment, on the roof of Fengyu Tower, stood a young man in a brocade robe, looking towards the north.
Several people behind him stood with their heads bowed, and did not dare to raise their heads from beginning to end.
The young man in brocade robe held his chin high, without even glancing at the people around him, with an arrogance that came from his bones.
The young man in brocade robes suddenly said coldly, "No news from Anzhou County?"
A middle-aged man clasped his fists slightly and said, "Your Highness, we've spotted some suspicious individuals in Anzhou County, but... they're not from Jingzhou County, nor from Yancheng all the way to Wanzhou County."
The young man in brocade robes put his hands behind his back and looked towards the north. "My brother is truly blessed. In times of crisis, he still has noble people to help him. Have you found out who attacked him in Yancheng?"
The middle-aged man lowered his head again. "Your Highness, our people went to Yancheng to investigate, but the new city lord, Wu Zhang, refused to let us do it himself, saying he would do it himself. Furthermore… I sent someone to find the Jingzhou prefect, but he said we should just let the government investigate. So…"
"Zhu Teng, this young master trusts you and lets you take charge, and this is all the news you bring to me?"
The man in brocade robe turned his head slightly and looked down at the servile Zhu Teng.
Zhu Teng's face turned pale immediately, and he knelt on the ground, trembling. "Your Highness, please forgive me and give me another chance!"
"I've given you too many opportunities, you can solve it yourself!" said the young man in brocade robe.
But Zhu Teng's face turned pale. He raised his head and looked at the young man in brocade robe.
After a long time, Zhu Teng kowtowed and said, "Thank you!"
After saying that, Zhu Teng instantly raised his palm and slammed it on his forehead.
boom!
With a loud roar, Zhu Teng fell directly to the ground. In a moment, blood gushed out of his seven orifices and his life force was quickly extinguished.
The other people at the scene looked at the dead Zhu Teng, their backs bent even more, and they dared not breathe.
But at this moment, an old man with gray hair and very smooth skin walked in from outside.
Glancing at the corpse on the ground, the old man said indifferently: "Drag it away, and you guys go down too!"
The young man in brocade robe turned around again, saw the old man, and waved his hand: "Do as Mr. Zhang says!"
"yes!"
At this moment, the others dared to move and walked out quickly.
At this time, only the young man in brocade robe and the old man were left here.
The old man clasped his fists and said, "Second Prince, there are signs that the Jingzhou County Governor may be secretly helping Huangfu Yu!"
This young man in brocade robe is the second prince of Tianyue Dynasty, Huangfu Jian, the most powerful prince.
Huangfu Jian looked at Zhang Qi and asked, "Even if they dared to disobey my order?"
Zhang Qi nodded.
Huangfu Jian narrowed his eyes and said, "You're quite courageous. Never mind. There'll be plenty of time to deal with you later!"
After saying this, Huangfu Jian seemed to be tired of standing, so he sat down on the chair and looked at Zhang Qi in front of him: "Whether my brother travels through the prefectures or the counties, he will come to Tianyan Pass."
"I have already set up a tight net. This Shuangxu City will be his burial place!" Zhang Qi said with a smile.
Huangfu Jian also smiled slightly and sighed inexplicably: "Tianyou Pass is really a good place, guiding the lost young people."
Zhang Qi clasped his fists and bowed his head: "Your Highness is wise. As long as we hold this only road into Tianyan Pass, they will eventually fall into our trap!"
Huangfu Jian's smile widened, and his eyes became brighter. "I've arranged a grand feast for my brother. I hope he won't let me down."
Zhang Qi asked doubtfully, "Does the Second Prince have any other plans?"
Huangfu Jian did not answer, but looked towards the direction of Tianyan Pass with a cold look in his eyes!
…
Fengzhou County, on an official road.
A dozen people were riding on horses, with four or five carriages in the middle, moving towards the north at a moderate pace.
Ten days later, Chen An was lying in the carriage. He took the bowl of tea handed to him by Xie Huayu and took a sip slowly.
Bored, he opened the car curtain and looked at the scene on the roadside outside.
In his ears, he heard Huangfu Yu, who was dressed as a little girl, talking about his second brother Huangfu Jian.
After listening for a while, Chen An turned to look at Huangfu Yu: "Huangfu Jian has many talented people under his command. Even in Wanzhou County, Fengzhou County, and other places, there must be people under Huangfu Jian. You are also a prince, why are you so shabby?"
Huangfu Yu's face flushed red, and he was a little dissatisfied: "I'm not like him, forming a clique for personal gain!"
Chen An said seriously, "So, you've suffered a loss. If it weren't for us, the grass on your grave would be this tall now!"
As he spoke, Chen An gestured to measure the height of the grass on the grave.
Huangfu Yu pouted and said, "So what if Huangfu Jian has so many people? I only have my big brother, and that's enough."
