When Xue Han saw Jiang Hongfei coming, his face lit up and he quickly stepped forward to greet him. "Elder Jiang!"

Jiang Hongfei hummed, and said to Chu Ying with a cold face: "Chu Ying, the important place of the city lord's palace, is this the place where you are causing trouble? Ask your people to withdraw, and if there is any matter, we will go to the elders' court to discuss it in detail."

Chu Ying did not give in at all: "Elder Jiang, we can't evacuate. The thieves ran away as soon as they evacuated! I have obtained conclusive evidence that three of Xue Han's men are related to the death of Lieutenant Pang. I suspect that their true identity is Zhu Xian A spy of the religion. The purpose of breaking into the city lord's palace is to undermine the security and stability of Tianyi City and disintegrate the federation from within!"

A detailed investigation report was submitted to Jiang Hongfei.Being able to prepare so well in a short period of time was thanks to Qian Xiaowu's help.

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Jiang Hongfei did not expect that Chu Ying came with evidence. Whether it was true or false, he did not dare to be careless when it involved the Zhu Xian Sect.Moreover, the deceased was a soldier, and the First Army had the right to bypass the Inspection Department and arrest the suspect on its own.

"In this case, City Lord Xue will call those three people to investigate. Those who are clean will be cleansed themselves."

Xue Han took a step forward and explained in a respectful manner: "Elder Jiang, it is clear that the guard Commander Chu mentioned was killed in the line of duty five months ago. The deceased is already dead. The so-called murder is just one-sided and an unfounded crime. !”

Jiang Hongfei: "Aren't there three people, all dead?"

Xue Han nodded: "Yes."

Chu Ying snorted: "What a coincidence!"

Xue Han glared at her: "Commander Chu, please be careful what you say! Your soldiers are good men who protect the home and the country, aren't they the guards of the city lord's palace? When they were alive, they were all loyal to their duties, dedicated themselves to maintaining the heaven and earth. The security of a city protects the safety of the people. I don’t want them to be unjustly accused of being spies planted by the Zhuxian Sect after they die!”

Chu Ying raised her sword eyebrows: "So, Xue Han, you don't admit that there are people from the Zhuxian Cult in the City Lord's Mansion?"

Xue Han said categorically: "This is absolutely not the case!"

Jiang Hongfei waved his hand and said: "Chu Ying, I will transfer the evidence you provided to the Inspection Department, and they will assist your First Army to investigate the cause of Pang Tai's death in detail. If Pang Tai was really killed, the Presbytery and the Inspection Department will We must give him justice!"

"I can understand your feeling of avenging your subordinates, but the City Lord's Mansion is a confidential place after all. How can you use such extreme means to force City Lord Xue to surrender, without fear of being jointly attacked by the City Lords of the Twelve Upper Cities? Chu Ying, hurry up. Lift the blockade and follow me to the Presbytery to talk about love!"

Chu Ying did not move, and the soldiers of the First Army also acted as if they had not heard Jiang Hongfei's roar. Their spirits were surging all over their bodies and they were ready to go.

Jiang Hongfei lost his dignity and said angrily: "Why, you don't even listen to me? Commander Chu is so majestic!"

"Elder Jiang, don't worry, Pang Tai's matter can wait, but the next matter cannot wait!"

Jiang Hongfei: "What's the matter?"

"I received news an hour ago that Yang Zhou, the former Lieutenant General of the First Army, was illegally imprisoned in the city lord's palace, tortured to extract a confession, and his life is in danger. The person who imprisoned him is Xue Han!"

Xue Han was frightened for a while, but then he calmed down. Yang Zhou might have exhausted his vitality and died at this moment. As long as he insisted that this was not the case, Chu Ying would have nothing to do.

"Haha, are Commander Chu kidding? I have no grievances with Yang Zhou, why should I imprison him? And he is no longer a member of the First Army. As Bai Ding, what secrets does he have in his hands? Is he worthy of my city? Lord, take the risk of committing a crime to extract a confession?"

Chu Ying took a step forward, as if there was anger burning in her eyes: "Because he is from the Free Army, and you are the altar leader of the Zhuxian Sect, the entire City Lord's Mansion is the den of thieves of the Zhuxian Sect. Yang Zhou and you are mortal enemies, you Of course I won’t let him go!”

Jiang Hongfei was shocked: "Chu Ying, are you telling the truth?"

"That's nonsense!" What are you trying to do by collaborating with the Zhuxian Sect?" Jiang Hongfei was shocked, but also felt that Xue Han's words made sense.Although the position of City Lord is not inferior to one person, it is superior to ten thousand people. It is the core of power in the federal government and controls the life and death of millions of people.

Xue Han can sit in this position at a young age, which is considered a promising future.Perhaps in a few decades, he would be able to rank among the elders and rival himself.

Jiang Hongfei didn't believe that such a young talent had joined the Zhuxian Sect.But if Chu Ying's words are true, and even the lord of a city has been won over by the Zhuxian Cult, then the matter will be serious.

"Chu Ying, what evidence do you have to prove that Xue Han is a member of the Zhuxian Cult?"

Chu Ying shook her head: "I didn't, so I have to go in and search! If Yang Zhou is inside, then Xue Han is [-]%!"

Seeing Jiang Hongfei wavered, Xue Han couldn't help but feel anxious and angry: "Elder, no matter whether I am innocent or not, from the moment Chu Ying stepped into the city lord's palace, I was already guilty in the eyes of the world! For my dignity and Honor, no matter what you say today, you can’t let Chu Ying in!”

Chu Ying sneered: "Xue Han, do you think these people under your command can stop the First Army?"

Xue Han also took the risk, and two long swords appeared in his hands, with the sword tips pointing directly at Chu Ying's throat: "You can try it!"

Seeing that a melee was about to break out, Jiang Hongfei hurriedly smoothed things over.

"Calm down, everyone! Chu Ying, where did your information come from?"

"Elder, this matter is confidential, so I have no comment, but I will use my personality to guarantee that the source of the information is reliable."

"Did Yang Zhou tell you personally that he was imprisoned in the City Lord's Mansion? Or did he tell you before he disappeared that he was going to the City Lord's Mansion?"

Chu Ying concluded: "Uh - none of them."

Xue Han had a sarcastic look on his face: "Elder Jiang, you know Commander Chu's famous scene of pursuing his husband. I'm afraid she didn't think of a man because of hysteria, and mistakenly thought that Yang Zhou was here with me!"

Xue Han's words caused a burst of laughter from the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, and the men of the First Army were so angry that they wanted to tear their mouths apart, but the commander did not say anything and they could not move.

At this moment, Chu Ying's optical brain received a video communication, and Yang Zhou's hologram suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

"Uh-ahem, it's me."

The person she had been thinking about for ten years appeared in front of her unexpectedly, and Chu Ying was in a daze for a moment. "Yang, Yang Zhou? Are you okay!"

In the video, Yang Zhou has a haggard face and tattered clothes. It can be seen at a glance that he has been tortured, standing in a place that looks like a prison cell.

"Fortunately. Capture Xue Han, he is a member of the Zhuxian Cult." Yang Zhou raised the camera in his hand: "I have video evidence of his crime here, and a witness named Zhu Zhi!"

As soon as Yang Zhou finished speaking, Chu Ying twisted Xue Han's arm with a grappling hand and shouted: "First Army, take action!"

The First Army, which had been simmering with anger for a long time, and the Guards who were feeling guilty after their secret was exposed, suddenly fought together, the light of elemental power flickering.
