Volume 1, Chapter 73: The city lord came out to greet me, look how effective my name is.
The discussion around became even louder.
They were talking to each other and discussing in low voices.
The general lowered his brows and lost his previous composure. If he was really a member of the Dongfang family, then he, a mere general at the city gate, could not afford to offend him.
However, the deputy city lord had given orders and specifically instructed that this person must not be let go, which made him feel a bit dilemma for a moment.
He pondered for a moment and said, "You are spreading rumors and misleading the people. Miss Dongfang, how could you have come to our Shangyun City when you were in Beimang City? You dare to use the name of an aristocratic family. This is a serious crime. I can kill you right now."
At this time Dongfang Qingzhu walked out of the carriage.
He said calmly, "I am Dongfang Qingzhu. If you take me, I think you will lose your position and you will lose your head."
Everyone looked towards Dongfang Qingzhu.
A group of officials also began to back off. It is better to believe this kind of thing than not to believe it.
Moreover, these people beheaded the county magistrate and still dared to swagger into Shangyun City so brazenly. It was obvious that they had a trump card, otherwise who would dare to do so?
Ye Tingmu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, this was exactly the effect he wanted.
This Shangyun City is different from Jinzhou.
At this time in March, the number of visitors coming here is beyond imagination.
Identify yourself here at this time.
You can't help but believe it.
If anything goes wrong, Shangyun City cannot take responsibility.
He did this to tell the world that Dongfang Qingzhu had come to Shangyun City, and if anything happened, Shangyun City would take the blame.
He was just gambling, and he was 100% sure.
Shangyun City did not dare to offend the Dongfang family.
Even in the remote Ye City, they only dared to frame him in secret.
Openly, do you dare to go to Yuncheng?
The answer is yes, they dare not.
Especially the mayor of Shangyun City, I had already inquired about him and found him to be timid and fearful.
Now that I know of the existence of the Oriental Qingzhu, I will just take good care of it.
She can't afford to make any mistakes.
In this way, entering Shangyun City will not only be safe from danger, but also provide security.
Three days later, people from the Dongfang family arrived.
So what if Feng Yueting Hai Sect has an eighth-level boss? Can you really fight against a ninth-level saint? You must be kidding me.
It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
I have not read Sun Tzu's Art of War in vain. I know people's hearts and strategies, and I am naturally confident in checks and balances to prevent disadvantages.
Ahem, that’s a bit narcissistic.
Ye Tingmu chuckled.
"General, can you still catch this man?"
The general glanced at Dongfang Qingzhu, gritted his teeth, and lowered his head, saying, "If she is really the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family, I would naturally not dare."
"Then what are you waiting for? Go and report that the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family is passing through Shangyun City and wants to rest here for a few days."
The general hesitated for a moment and said, "I will report it right away."
Seeing the general leave, Dongfang Qingzhu blinked at Ye Tingmu.
"I'm doing okay."
"good."
Feng He also breathed a sigh of relief, gave a thumbs up, and said admiringly: "Brother, you are really awesome."
Ye Tingmu smiled complacently and said, "Keep a low profile, keep a low profile."
Then we returned to the car.
"Just wait, you can have a delicious meal soon, and it doesn't cost any money."
The breeze cheered.
"Yeah, that's great."
Dongfang Qingzhu crossed his arms, looking full of energy and pride.
"Well, see, I said my name works."
Ye Tingmu rolled his eyes at her. If he hadn't beheaded the county magistrate, it wouldn't have worked.
Instead, he beheaded the county magistrate, which made it more realistic.
After all, no one would dare to casually execute a county magistrate and report it to the higher authorities.
A group of officers and soldiers put away their swords and surrounded the carriage respectfully.
In their opinion, the probability that this woman is Dongfang Qingzhu is almost certain.
The people around were still talking about it.
"Is the title of the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family really that effective? She executed the county magistrate, yet she still dares to act so recklessly."
A talented scholar beside him flapped his folding fan and said:
"This is something you don't know. Although the current Beimang King has the final say on the surface, the Dongfang family and he jointly govern. The Dongfang Patriarch was the teacher of the late emperor and one of the few saints in our Jiuzhou Empire. He is also in a high position of power. The Beimang Iron Cavalry is still commanded by the Dongfang family's Third Master. In the political arena, the Second Master is in the Imperial City and holds a high position. Even the Beimang King has to show courtesy to the Dongfang Patriarch when he sees him. And the Dongfang Patriarch loves Miss Dongfang. Everyone in Beimang knows it. Let alone beheading one county magistrate, even if he beheaded ten, that wouldn't matter. Just wait and see. It won't be long before the Shangyun City Lord will come out to greet him."
"People who read books know a lot."
"That's right. I heard that the county magistrate of Jinzhou is really not a good person. It would be better to kill him."
About half an hour passed.
There was a noise inside the city gate.
Ye Tingmu raised his eyebrows and looked over.
“Here I come.”
Then he looked at Dongfang Qingzhu and said, "It will be your turn to perform."
Dongfang Qingzhu patted her bulging chest and smiled sweetly, "Don't worry."
After a while, a group of people walked out from the city gate.
"Look, it's the city lord Murong Bo."
"And the deputy city lord, Zhou Fengming, is here too."
"This guy, the Dongfang family is really prestigious. A young lady actually alarmed the two city lords of Shangyun City to come out and greet her personally."
"you do not say?"
The two people who came were one fat and one thin.
He is fat and round, with a fat head and big ears, but he looks very noble.
Wearing a long red robe and a golden crown.
Full of smiles.
This person is the lord of Shangyun City, Murong Bo.
Zhou Fengming, who was standing beside him, looked a little thin in comparison.
He was wearing a tight suit, his face looked a little gloomy, and there was an unknown coldness in his eyes.
It makes people feel very bad.
In Shangyun City, Murong Bo is in charge of politics and Zhou Fengming is in charge of the military.
I saw the fat man jogging towards me with a flattering look on his face.
"Oh, what's the wind that blew Miss Qingzhu to our Shangyun City without even saying hello in advance? Look at this misunderstanding! Get out of my way! What are you all looking at? How can you be so rude to Miss Qingzhu?"
Dongfang Qingzhu got out of the car, and Ye Tingmu stood beside her.
She half-knelt and saluted Murong Bo.
"Qingzhu greets City Lord Murong. Qingzhu has caused some troubles while traveling here. I hope to stay in Shangyun City for a few days and wait for my family to come and pick me up. I hope City Lord Murong will not blame me for disturbing you."
Murong Bo quickly clasped his fists in return, and said with a look of panic, "Miss Qingzhu, you are trying to embarrass me. Your ancestor has been kind to me, so there is no need to bother me. Miss, you came to see me because you think highly of me, Murong Bo."
Then his expression changed, he turned his head and said, "General Sun!"
"I am here."
"Why don't you apologize to Miss Qingzhu quickly?"
The general, who had just been so arrogant, glanced at Zhou Fengming standing beside him.
Then he knelt on one knee.
He said, "General Sun An, I didn't know Miss Dongfang was here, and I'm sorry for offending you. Please forgive me."
