In Yanming City, he was an absolute ruler, but he stumbled twice in a row at the Fang family's hands.
Although both times were because of the Prince of Zhenbei, the Fang family's attitude, especially Fang Han's attitude, made him want to kill.
He didn't understand why the Prince of Zhenbei was giving the Fang family special treatment, but he dared not disobey the Prince of Zhenbei's orders.
From then on, he could no longer pursue the matter of Jiang Hong's murder, and the Fang family's actions in Yanming City were basically no longer under his control.
What's the difference between the Fang family's actions and defecating on his head?
The thought of this made him feel very upset.
"My lord, are we... are we just going to leave like this?"
A centurion with a pointed snout and monkey-like face rode alongside Ye Zhong, speaking to him with resentment.
"What else can we do if we don't leave? I'm sending you to kill Fang Han, do you dare? The Prince of Zhenbei has given the order, do you have the guts?"
Ye Zhong said irritably.
This skinny, monkey-like fellow is a beginner-level martial artist. Under his command, he is considered a master. Moreover, he is resourceful and can be regarded as Ye Zhong's half-strategist.
Within the city defense forces of Yanming City, this man was nicknamed "Monkey Strategist".
Previously, this "monkey strategist" was good at reading people's expressions and was well-liked by Ye Zhong, but this time, he still brought up these words, making Ye Zhong even more frustrated.
Ye Zhong even considered giving this "monkey strategist" a whip to stop him from continuing to talk nonsense.
"My lord, I have a plan..."
But "Monkey Strategist" held the reins and moved closer to Ye Zhong's horse.
"Just say what you're thinking, why are you hesitating?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhong's spirits immediately lifted.
He knew that this strategist was a master at coming up with bad ideas. This time, he was slapped in the face by Fang Han, and he could not let it go. Otherwise, if he saw the Fang family in Yanming City in the future, but could not control them, wouldn't he feel inferior?
Where is his authority as the city lord?
“Jiang Hong’s uncle is Guo Tianyi, the Commandant of Tianyuan County. If you send someone to deliver a letter to Commander Guo, he will definitely take a look at this matter. You are giving face to Commander Tantai Qiuyue, but he will definitely not. I have heard that he listens to his wife the most. If Jiang Hong’s aunt whispers in his ear, wouldn’t he send someone to kill Fang Han and Fang Sihai? Or even wipe out the Fang family?”
"The Monkey strategist said in a low voice."
"You little monkey, you're really full of mischief, but this idea is feasible."
Ye Zhong immediately laughed: "In my anger, I forgot about the relationship between Jiang Hong and Guo Tianyi, the prefectural commander of Tianyuan County. If I fail to deal with the Fang family and don't tell Guo Tianyi, I will really offend him. When I return to the city lord's mansion, I will personally write a letter of divorce, and you can send it to Tianyuan County for me."
He planned to explain in the letter that he had a good relationship with Tantai Qiuyue, and that Fang Sihai was already the commander of the Yanming City Command of the Demon Suppression Division, so it was not appropriate for him to interfere in the Fang family's affairs.
In this way, he wouldn't be criticized by Guo Tianyi, the Commandant of Tianyuan County, and he wouldn't mention the matter of the Prince of Zhenbei's oral decree at all.
After much thought, he concluded that the reason why the Prince of Zhenbei treated the Fang family differently was simply because Fang Sihai had been framed by Jiang Hong and the Zhao family, and he was giving the Fang family a gesture of appeasement.
A powerful figure like the Prince of Zhenbei is extremely busy and certainly wouldn't come to Yanming City again for the sake of a small family like the Fang family.
Moreover, even if the Prince of Zhenbei knew that the Fang family had been wiped out, Guo Tianyi was a key minister under the Prince of Zhenbei, so he probably wouldn't pursue the matter too much, and he would just get his revenge.
He rode at full speed back to the city lord's mansion, went into his study, and began writing a letter.
He was unaware that his daughter, Ye Qianqian, had fallen in love with Fang Han.
...
Meanwhile, Wang Wei had already returned to Tianyuan County.
The Wang family was considered a second-rate family in Tianyuan County.
Wang Wei's uncle, Wang Changkong, is the head of the Wang family. However, his father, Wang Changlong, holds a very high position in the Wang family. When there are any matters in the family, the head of the family has to consult with his father.
Because Wang Wei has a good mother.
His mother was named Consort Feng, and she was from the Feng family, a first-class family in Tianyuan County.
The Feng family is skilled in forging weapons, from ordinary weapons to high-grade magic weapons. In fact, the Feng family has an ancestor who can forge spiritual weapons of the spiritual weapon level.
When Consort Feng married into the Wang family, it was considered a marriage of descent. Therefore, Wang Wei's status in the Wang family was comparable to that of Wang Jiaer, the son of the family head. In fact, he might even become the next family head.
When Wang Wei returned to the Wang family manor, he was seen by his cousin, Wang Jiaer, who was also the son of his uncle Wang Changkong.
"Xiao Wei, why are you back? Didn't you go to Yanming City with your Commander Tantai Qiuyue?"
As soon as Jackson Wang saw Wang Wei, he asked curiously, "You don't look too well."
He's twenty-five years old this year, but he's a shrewd person. He could tell at a glance that Wang Wei's return must be for a reason.
"Brother, my cultivation has been crippled, and the two Martial Grandmasters, Ruthless Blade King and Ghost Hand, have also been killed. Please tell Uncle immediately so I can go find my father and mother and discuss how to avenge me in the council hall later."
Wang Wei immediately replied.
Because his mother, Consort Feng, came from the Feng family, he didn't usually take his cousin, Jackson Wang, too seriously.
He felt that the position of head of the Wang family was something his father, Wang Changlong, didn't want to compete with his uncle, Wang Changkong for; otherwise, it would definitely have been his father's, and he would have been the rightful successor to the position.
"You were crippled in Yanming City?"
Jackson Wang was secretly delighted, but he didn't show it on his face.
He actually disliked Wang Wei, but Wang Wei had a higher talent for cultivation than him, and he had a good mother. As the son of the family head, he received fewer cultivation resources than his cousin, and was even bullied by his cousin.
At this moment, he sensed that Wang Wei's true essence had truly disappeared, as if he had truly lost his cultivation. In that case, Wang Wei would no longer be able to compete with him for the position of family head, and his status in the family would rise sharply, while Wang Wei would be regarded as a waste.
"By that kid Fang Han."
Wang Wei was a little embarrassed to say it aloud, after all, Fang Han's reputation as a good-for-nothing wasn't just known to the people of Yanming City.
A few years ago, when Fang Han was studying at the Longyuan Sword Academy in Tianyuan County, many people knew that Fang Han was sixteen years old and had not yet successfully tempered his body; he was not even a beginner-level martial artist.
"Little Wei, if you've been crippled by a piece of trash, then you're even less than trash yourself!"
Jackson Wang said calmly.
Actually, he was trying very hard to hold back his laughter; he almost burst out laughing.
