Outside the north gate!
A group of light cavalry were waiting outside the north gate and did not force their way into Longan Town.
Two large flags were erected, one with the word "Gu" on it, and the other with the bright yellow word "Tian" on it.
There were about dozens of people, half of them were ceremonial guards and half were guards, with a very luxurious-looking chariot in the middle.
Chen An rode a horse and brought his men to the north gate.
Immediately, a general wearing armor and riding a strange beast took a few steps forward.
With a powerful aura, he spoke loudly, "His Royal Highness heard that a rebellion had occurred in Long'an Town, so he came here in person to inspect the people's sentiments. If you have any dissatisfaction with the government, you can tell us. His Royal Highness said that as long as the situation is true, the rebellion in Long'an Town will not be pursued, and he will stand up for you. This place is under the jurisdiction of Linfeng City. If the Lord of Linfeng City is at fault, he will be severely punished and will not be tolerated. The Tianyue Dynasty has always been committed to loving the people like their own children, and will not tolerate any bad apples in the government!"
The general's voice was filled with profound power and had great penetrating power. I'm afraid that more than half of the people in the small town of Long'an could hear it clearly.
Chen An narrowed his eyes. Although this group of people seemed small, this sentence was extremely lethal.
In Longan Town, including those who came from Lushan, they all followed me because they were oppressed. Now some damn prince comes to represent the court to plead for the people, and even promises to let bygones be bygones for the rebellion. This is just to disturb the people's hearts.
Tsk tsk, people’s hearts are so unsettled!
At this moment, Shang Diyi beside him whispered, "Your Majesty, we can't let him in. Otherwise, the morale of our team will be broken, and the people of Long'an Town will no longer wholeheartedly support us!"
Chen An looked at Shang Diyi in surprise. This kid is quite a smart guy.
The general opposite spoke again, "Your Highness has come personally to inspect, having traveled so far and with such sincerity. I'm sure you all have seen this. Why not open the city gates and let His Highness in?"
Chen An suddenly clapped his hands, "Welcome, Your Highness! Your sincerity is truly admirable. Since you are so sincere, it would be wrong to bring anyone along. Since Your Highness is so sincere, then one person should come with me, and the others can wait outside. This will truly demonstrate Your Highness's generosity and sincerity!"
The general leading the team had a slightly angry expression on his face. "Your Highness, this is related to the safety of Linzhou County, and even more so, the proper resolution of the conflict between the people of Long'an Town and the government. Safety is of paramount importance, so you can't go in alone!"
"It seems that you are not sincere. If you are sincere, you will have a clear conscience and a clear conscience. What dangers are you afraid of? Besides, don't we in Long'an Town have the ability to protect the safety of His Royal Highness?"
After Chen An finished speaking, his face darkened: "If you are not sincere, then get out of here immediately. Don't stand here. It makes me upset!"
Emperor Yi of Shang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but whisper a flattering remark: "Your Majesty is wise."
Then Emperor Yi of Shang immediately said, "Your Majesty, why not just take him as a hostage? This Crown Prince is probably the son of Tianwu King Huangfu Zhang."
Chen An didn't know much. He originally came here to cause trouble, but he didn't expect that he would now have a serious career.
At this moment, a voice came from the chariot: "Haha, I wonder if the Lord of Fengshen Sect is here?"
Chen An was not surprised. After the battle in Long'an Town, it would be weird if these guys still didn't know who was leading them.
"It's me!" Chen An said calmly.
Then, the curtain of the chariot was opened, and a young man in a bright yellow brocade robe walked down from the chariot with a smile on his face, looking quite dignified.
The young man smiled and said, "I have long heard of the great reputation of the Lord of the Conferred God Sect. It is truly a great honor to meet you today. I am Huangfu Yun, the eldest son of King Tianwu. I am honored to meet you, Your Majesty!"
As he said this, he saluted Chen An with a fist clasped, being very polite and decent, and it was really hard to find fault with him.
It is almost certain that this kid is very scheming and not easy to deal with!
Such a person cannot control the rhythm.
Chen An smiled and said, "So it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Haha, I'm not very familiar with you. But since the Crown Prince knows me, what is there to be afraid of? Wouldn't it be better if you follow me in alone to show the Crown Prince's sincerity and love for the people like your own children?"
Huangfu Yun paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Since this is an investigation and to plead for the people of Long'an Town, we naturally need manpower."
"There are plenty of people. Since the prince is sincere, I will naturally help send people to investigate and collect evidence."
"Your Majesty, I am used to these people."
"Prince, you are obviously worried that I will harm you. After all, I am the Lord of Fengshenmen. Don't worry, even if I want to kill you, I will do it openly!" Chen An smiled.
Huangfu Yun was horrified when he heard this, as he and his guards heard the hidden meaning in Chen An's words, which was that he might really take action!
It is said that when two armies are fighting, envoys should not be killed. However, Chen An may not follow the usual practice!
Huangfu Yun then tried to remain calm: "As the saying goes, when two armies are at war, envoys should not be killed. This prince is also an envoy sent by my father. I naturally believe that the king will not harm me."
"Then don't worry about it. If you are not afraid, just come up with me alone. I admire your sincerity very much. I will ask someone to prepare good wine and food immediately. You must do your best to be a good host!" Chen An smiled brightly, with an attitude of welcoming distinguished guests.
The more enthusiastic Chen An was, the more nervous Huangfu Yun felt. He could no longer suppress the magnanimity that he had been brewing for a long time.
Seeing Huangfu Yun's troubled expression, Chen An's face suddenly turned cold, but his voice was so loud that it could be heard from far away: "Since the prince is here to plead for the people and redress their grievances, why doesn't he dare to go in alone, but insists on bringing a large number of troops into Long'an Town? Could it be that he wants to investigate Long'an Town's strength and make preparations for an attack on our town?"
The sound was so loud that many people in Longan Town heard it, and the soldiers on the city wall heard it clearly.
Huangfu Yun opened his mouth and was about to speak.
Chen An spoke again: "If you are not sincere, then don't pretend here. I will not make it difficult for you. I will give you one stick of incense. If you don't leave, don't blame the soldiers of Long'an Town for being merciless!"
"How dare you be so rude to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The general riding the strange beast was immediately furious.
Chen An laughed heartily. "Haha... your true colors have finally been revealed, haven't they? You're deceiving these poor people under the guise of redressing grievances. You high-ranking officials, nobles, and royal relatives are truly cunning!"
Immediately, the soldiers on the city wall, who had originally wavered in their thoughts of rebelling against the court, had their thoughts changed. Their eyes became sharp, and they stared at the people below with a fierce look, as if as long as Chen An gave the order, they would rush out and chop down those people in the court who had evil intentions.
Huangfu Yun sensed something was wrong, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly shouted, "Zhu Heng, shut up!"
Although the general was indignant, he did not dare to speak any more, but stared at Chen An and his group, as if he wanted to kill them with his eyes!
