Jia Zheng was stunned when he heard this, a bit embarrassed appeared on his face, then he laughed and said:
"What are you saying, Marshal Xu? As the governor of Northeast Province, I naturally love the people more than you do.
It’s just that when you’re dealing with stubborn people, if you don’t deal with them harshly, they won’t stop.”
"But you can't kill innocent people indiscriminately. This is the bottom line!"
Xu Xiong said in a deep voice, "If Lady Jia doesn't comply, then I will have no choice but to return home for the time being."
"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say, Marshal."
Jia Zheng was unhappy, but he still had to rely on Xu Xiong's power, so he had to compromise temporarily.
Only after Ye Chen is killed, and then one of his own confidants is supported to come to power, can he settle accounts with these rebels.
Just when Jia Zheng had made up his mind, the car that was traveling at high speed suddenly braked and only came to a stop after sliding out a track of more than ten meters.
Luo Fei looked forward and saw a person standing less than a meter in front of the car.
"Provincial Lord, it's Hu Wanli!"
The governor of Jia Province was already furious and flew into a rage. He opened the door and got out of the car, shouting:
"Hu Wanli, do you want to die?"
Hu Wanli didn't respond, but said directly: "I, Hu, am here to stop the car and ask the provincial governor and the general to return.
We can report the Jiangcheng incident to the Ministry of Personnel. I believe the Minister will make his own decision, and it won't be too late to arrest Ye Chen then."
"Hu Wanli, are you teaching me how to do things?"
Jia Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly. He had just been humiliated in front of Xu Xiong and was now furious, so naturally he wanted to take his anger out on the other party.
"I'll give you three seconds to disappear from my sight, or I'll make you the first target!"
Hu Wanli remained motionless and continued, "Please reconsider, my Lord."
"Get out of my way!"
As he spoke, Jia Zheng's spiritual power burst out, and his whole body was covered with a layer of golden light. He punched Hu Wanli directly.
Hu Wanli did not expect that the other party would attack with all his strength. In addition, the other party was a whole level higher than him, so he had no time to resist in such a hurry.
He was directly knocked back by Jia Zheng's punch, vomiting blood.
"Come here, take him down and tie him to the wooden pillar of the cart. Let everyone see this. This is what happens when you offend me, Jia Zheng!"
"yes!"
Immediately, several subordinates lifted the unconscious Hu Wanli from the ground and tied him firmly to the wooden stake erected behind the car with a special iron chain.
Soon after, the convoy continued its mighty march towards Jiangcheng.
…
Jiangcheng, inside the devil's cave.
At this time, Ye Chen was immersed in happy cultivation.
As the monsters died one after another, the system prompt sounded in my mind:
"Ding! Use 'Universe Strike' to kill the target, permanently gaining Strength +3 and Agility +3."
"Ding! Use 'Universe Strike' to kill the target, permanently gaining Strength +3 and Agility +3."
“…”
At this moment, his sensor began to vibrate slightly.
Ye Chen frowned slightly, which meant that someone had entered the devil's cave to look for him.
He had previously informed the relevant personnel not to disturb him unless it was an emergency.
This clearly meant something big was happening.
Ye Chen strode directly towards the exit of the demon cave.
With nearly 60,000 points of agility and the blessing of level 5 'Shadow Sprint', his current speed can be said to be lightning fast, leaving only a shadow wherever he passes.
"What's up?"
In just a moment, Ye Chen arrived beside the city defense soldier.
The sudden sound startled the soldier.
When he looked back, he found that the city lord had appeared behind him at some point.
He secretly sighed at the unfathomable strength of the city lord, saying that it was almost too much to say that he could teleport.
"Reporting to the City Lord, according to reliable information, the Provincial Lord and Marshal Xu are leading 3,000 guards towards Jiangcheng. They suspect you are their target. Adjutant Xia has led the entire city defense force to the border, ready for battle. Please make the decision, City Lord!"
Ye Chen's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he said in a cold voice: "I understand."
The soldier continued, "Adjutant Xia has moved your parents to a safe place. He also said that you can seize the opportunity and temporarily leave Jiangcheng to avoid the sharp edge.
All of our city defense forces are willing to defend the city to the death, delay the enemy, and create as much time as possible for you and your family to leave."
Ye Chen smiled, patted the soldier on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Go back and tell Adjutant Xia that this city lord and captain will never abandon his brothers and run away alone!
Not only will I not run away, but I will also destroy the invading enemy head-on.
If he dares to come, I will kill him!
Pass on my order: All city defense forces retreat, no one is allowed to attack without my order...
I will personally eliminate this evil for the people!"
The soldier hesitated and said, "City Lord, they are the provincial governor, the commander-in-chief, and three thousand guards. You are fighting alone. Isn't it a bit too weak..."
Ye Chen's face turned stern, and he shouted in a low voice: "Go and pass on the order!"
"yes!"
…
After the messenger left, Ye Chen walked out of the demon cave.
But at this time, he saw that the outside of the devil's cave was surrounded by a large crowd of elders and villagers.
I couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing?"
"We must stand with the city lord!"
"If you want to kill the city lord, you can kill us too!"
"These damn corrupt officials are doing nothing but framing honest people. We won't tolerate this!"
"Yes! Let's fight them!"
For a moment, the crowd was outraged.
Ye Chen felt warm in his heart when he heard this. It seemed that justice is in the hearts of the people. He did things for everyone, and the people remembered it in their hearts.
