Chapter 972 Audacity! (4 more)
Iron Wolf City, the City Lord's Mansion.

Early in the morning, City Lord Longxiao got up early, and prepared to go to inspect the training of the guards of the city guard regiment as usual.

But today, the City Lord's Mansion welcomed two special guests.

One of them was surprisingly Prince Jing.

Long Xiao naturally knew about the construction of Prince Jing's mansion when the commander of the Southern Military Commander ordered the construction of Prince Jing's mansion. He also went to visit Prince Jing, but unfortunately, he never saw Prince Jing's face.

Unexpectedly, today, His Highness Prince Jing actually paid a personal visit.

"My lord, King Jing is visiting, are we..."

The old butler's words were a little hesitant, obviously hesitating, whether he should say something or not.

"Is it something, just say it if you have something to say."

Long Xiao glanced at the old butler, and couldn't help frowning.

This old butler is the butler left behind by the previous city lord, so he naturally has some understanding of the situation in southern Xinjiang.

"According to my subordinates, it is best for you, City Master, to avoid seeing guests." The old housekeeper said slowly.

"Oh?" Long Xiao stared at the old housekeeper, "Tell me why the Lord of the City avoids His Royal Highness Prince Jing."

"The city lord should understand the principle of being wise and protecting one's life, right?"

The old butler smiled rather cryptically, "My lord, this is all my subordinates have said. Of course, what to do in detail, the subordinates will naturally follow the orders of the city master."

"Be wise and protect yourself?"

Long Xiao snorted softly. In the first three months after he came to Iron Wolf City, the old city lord explained many things to him. In a sense, the army of Iron Wolf City did not belong to the local government. The garrison, including its forces, twisted and twisted, and they were all inextricably linked with the southern military.

Even though he brought a group of brothers from the Black Armored Cavalry Army when Long Xiao came, it didn't mean that he would be able to be the real master of the family on the one-acre land of Iron Wolf City.

"We are all the subjects of His Majesty the Emperor. His Royal Highness Prince Jing is from the royal family, so he is our master. When the master comes, how can there be any reason for the ministers to avoid seeing him?"

Long Xiao ignored the old housekeeper's dissuasion, and casually threw the spear he practiced every morning back on the weapon rack, wiped off his sweat, and strode to the main hall.

The old butler sighed softly, shook his head and said with a smile, "You are still young after all!"

……

"Subordinate, see His Highness Prince Jing!"

Long Xiao quickly walked out of the main hall, before anyone arrived, the voice had already arrived.

The next moment, Long Xiao stood still in the hall, his body straightened. This is the military quality he trained in the Black Armored Cavalry Army, and it will never change in his life.

Sitting on the main seat above the main hall, Mo Feng quickly stood up and said with a loud smile, "Master Longxiao, I'm really sorry to disturb you so early."

Only then did Long Xiao raise his head. This Prince Jing was much weaker than he had imagined. It was hard to imagine how His Majesty the Emperor would send such a prince to southern Xinjiang.

With him alone, how can he hold down an old fox like Yuan Tiangang?
However, when he saw the young man beside Prince Jing, his eyelids twitched and he exclaimed, "Ling...brother Ling!"

"Hahaha!"

Ling Feng smiled, "General Long, long time no see! No, it should be the Dragon City Lord now!"

"What kind of general and city master?" Long Xiao laughed loudly and said, "I'm being polite when I say this, hahaha!"

That day, Ling Feng and Long Xiao met in Iron Wolf City, and Long Xiao repeatedly persuaded Ling Feng to join the army and serve the country.

Unexpectedly, it was only half a year later that they met again.

"Brother is still the same as before, nothing has changed!" Ling Feng narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Mo Feng on the side was stunned. Ling Feng and this Lord Longxiao are still old acquaintances!
Long Xiao smiled faintly, "No wonder I didn't want to join our Black Armored Cavalry Army at the beginning. It turns out that my brother is someone close to Prince Jing."

"Brother was joking, I didn't know Prince Jing at all back then."

Ling Feng shook his head and smiled, "Speaking of which, Prince Jing and I met at Tianwei Academy."

Mo Feng quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother Feng, in private, let's not talk about King Jing being short. Since the Lord Long is Brother Feng's elder brother, he is naturally the prince's elder brother too. After all, I have to call you Dragon Dragon!" Big brother!"

"How can I bear this!" Long Xiao secretly sweated on his forehead, and said hastily, "No, no, His Highness is a prince, and his subordinates are just courtiers."

"Privately, you don't have to treat me like a prince." Mo Feng smiled slightly, and bowed to Long Xiao.

Ling Feng narrowed his eyes and smiled, this Mo Feng is quite good, he knows how to climb along the pole, first he made friends with Long Xiao.

The three of them chatted about the old days, came and went, and Long Xiao also acquiesced to Mo Feng calling him Brother Long, but he never dared to call Brother Mo.

After all, monarchs and ministers are different!

After exchanging pleasantries, Ling Feng finally got to the point, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Long, you probably should also know that His Majesty sent King Jing to the south to supervise the army, right?"

"Well, I've heard about this, it's just..."

Long Xiao took a look at Mo Feng, but still bit the bullet and said, "It's just that His Royal Highness Prince Jing, as the supervisor, did not guard the fortress, but retreated to Iron Wolf City to take refuge. This is somewhat unreasonable."

This Long Xiao has always been upright. If he were an old fritter who had been in the officialdom for decades, he would not have said these words no matter what.

"That's the whole point."

Ling Feng said in a deep voice: "Brother Long, do you really think that Prince Jing himself is willing to withdraw from Tianmang Fortress and hide in the tortoise shell of Prince Jing's mansion to be a turtle?"

"Brother Ling, what do you mean by that?" Long Xiao frowned, for many years, he had also faintly noticed something.

"That old fox Yuan Tiangang is self-respecting. He doesn't care about the Ninth Prince at all. He even put the Ninth Prince under house arrest in Prince Jing's mansion in a disguised form. Tell me, what does this old fox want?"

Ling Feng slapped the table, filled with righteous indignation: "This old fox, I think he wants to rebel!"

"Create... a rebellion?"

Long Xiao's eyelids twitched wildly, Ling Feng dared to say such words casually, he must be too courageous.

He swallowed hard, and said with a sneer: "Brother Ling, don't dare to say such nonsense!"

Even Mo Feng was taken aback by Ling Feng's remarks.

In the empire, Ling Feng was probably the only one who dared to say that Yuan Tiangang was going to rebel!

But it is absolutely impossible to say that he has objections, this old guy hasn't swollen to that extent yet.

"Defying His Majesty's imperial decree, what do you mean if this is not rebellion?"

Ling Feng snorted softly, and said seriously: "Then Yuan Tiangang treats His Royal Highness King Jing as nothing, playing with the applause, even the prince dares to play like this, in this southern border, he has become the emperor of the soil?"

"This..." Long Xiao frowned, looked at Mo Feng, and found that Mo Feng's brows were deeply furrowed. It seemed that what Ling Feng said was not all exaggeration.

"Brother Long, you should understand that the Black Armored Cavalry Army is directly ordered by the royal family, and now the Ninth Prince has no real power in the southern army, and he is not even qualified to set foot in Tianmang Fortress. Think about it, What about your situation?"

"Right now there are demon clans invading the territory, so Yuan Tiangang has no time to take care of you. Once the war is stable, I'm sure that the old fox will not allow you, a royal family force, to continue to be active under his nose, right?"

Ling Feng's every word was heartbroken, and Long Xiao's brows became more and more wrinkled. Thinking of what the previous city lord and the old housekeeper said to him, Yuan Tiangang's power in southern Xinjiang was indeed too great.

The name of the royal family, in this southern border, is far inferior to Yuan Tiangang's name.

It is undoubtedly a hidden danger to the royal family and the empire!
