Chapter 23 The Prince

Fengcheng is one of the most prosperous cities under the direct control of the Donghua Empire. The tax revenue of this city is more abundant than that of a state, and it is a good place that the imperial court is quite fancy.But there is an ancient sect in this place—Fengmen.They are deeply entrenched in Fengcheng, and most of the buying and selling Fengmen in the city have been involved, and the strength of the sect is strong. Later, they joined the Tianshan Saintess League, which made the influence of the Fengmen even greater than before.

Although Fengcheng is the city of the Donghua Empire, and there are city guards and garrisons here, many people know that only Fengmen is the actual controller here, and the annual tax revenue will be [-]% of Fengmen's.

Although the imperial court really wanted to pull out this thorn, they never dared to act rashly, because behind them was the Tianshan Mountain, an alliance that even the empire feared.

In order to ensure the safety of the empire, the imperial court set up two elite field battalions in the north and south of the Windy City.But the damper has always been safe and has never done anything out of the ordinary, so the two field battalions have never been dispatched.And because this is actually a place of Fengmen, the law and order is amazing, almost to the point where the roads are not picked up, and the doors are not closed at night, so this means that the direct-controlled army here and the servants of various yamen have nothing to do, and the streets are full of laziness all day long. dangling.

But today is a different day. Tens of thousands of directly-administered defenders all over the city suddenly took action in full swing, and surrounded the center of the city in all directions. Went to Fengyue Tower.

What made the people even more horrified was that the two field battalions stationed not far from the city went south and north, and within an hour, the absolutely elite sword and tiger cavalry had arrived at the city, guarding all the main entrances and exits.

Rumors spread, saying that the imperial court couldn't help but want to attack Fengmen, otherwise there would be some big event that would recruit these two field battalions.

The most frightening thing was of course the wind gate. At the moment when the direct-controlled army in the city moved quickly, the news had already reached the main rudder of the wind gate.

Fengmen's huge mansion with ten entrances, plus east and west wing rooms, gardens and streams, covers an area of ​​no less than [-] mu. Except for the Tianguan temple in the center of Fengcheng, it is the mansion with the largest area in Fengcheng.Now in the main hall of Fengmen, Feng Yang, the current head of Fengmen, is sitting in the main seat with a surprised expression on his face.

Feng Yang is only 53 years old, and his aura is restrained, ordinary people can't feel his true strength at all.He has a square-shaped face with Chinese characters, a head of long hair with a few white hairs on top of it, and a long blue robe worn by Fengmen.

A pair of eyeballs are chattering and rolling, and they don't know what they are thinking.Feng Wu sat under his right hand, and Feng Xueyu sat on the other side.

When and where Li Pin stood in the hall, his face was solemn.

"Master, did the imperial court start to attack our Fengmen? This is too sudden. Since the establishment of the Donghua Empire, my Fengmen has never caused them trouble, and I have always managed the security of Fengcheng. They still have What is there to worry about?"

"That's right, Master, why don't we go against each other? With the current strength of our Fengmen, we can easily completely control Fengcheng. When the time comes, Master will establish himself as king, wouldn't it be great!" Shi Ye echoed.

"Shut up, all of you!" Before Feng Yang could speak, Feng Wu had already slapped the table and stood up, and said coldly, "Have you considered the people in the city? Have you considered Donghua?" The army of the empire is coming? How many innocent people will be killed or injured? Besides, you haven’t figured out what happened. How dare you say that you have taken control of Windy City? Don’t be afraid that people will laugh your ass off.”

"Master, the second senior brother is back!" A young man with a resolute face stepped into the hall with a few steps, the eyes of Li Pin and the three of them suddenly became sharp, and they turned their faces away to ignore it.

"Kettle, have you figured out what's going on?" Feng Yang looked at Li Pin and the other three meaningfully, the coldness in his eyes disappeared, and then he asked the person who came in.

"Master, just now I found General Liu of the directly-administered army. He said that a big man had an accident in Fengyue Tower, and even killed him. It seems that he was assassinated. That's why such a big commotion was caused. It has nothing to do with me!" Kettle cast a cold glance at Li Pin and the others before reporting to Feng Yang.

The people in the hall were obviously relieved. No matter how powerful Fengmen is in Fengcheng, it is indeed no match for the entire empire.

"Fengyue Building? Isn't that the Lin family's business?" Li Pin suddenly gloated and said with a smile.

"Yes, it's the business of the Lin family!" Feng Wu stood up, walked into the hall with his arms behind his back, and said with a serious face: "What we need to figure out now is, who is that big man who was assassinated? Why did you even mobilize the field battalion outside the city? Brother Shui, please find out right away if they came here for me."

"Don't worry, junior sister, I'll go right away!" Kettle smiled sassyly, turned and left.

Feng Wu turned to Feng Yang and said, "Father, I think it's better for you to go there yourself. If you are from the capital, then most likely the visitors are not good. When necessary, please ask Tianshan and Tianguan to come forward."

"I understand!" Feng Yang stood up, ordered the horses to be prepared, and said to Feng Wu at the same time: "Your sister just came back, so don't worry about this matter, take a good rest, and let the water cup Li Dan accompany you out for a walk tomorrow! "

Feng Wu nodded in agreement, Li Pin hurriedly smiled at Feng Wu: "Tomorrow, you have to call me, senior brother, I also wanted to go out for a long time, but unfortunately I never had this chance!" After finishing speaking, he immediately followed Feng Yang footsteps.

Feng Wu smiled coldly and ignored it, turned around and led the two younger sisters back to the inner house.Feng Yu stretched his waist, said haha ​​and lazily said: "I don't know how that kid Chu Yun is doing, we promised daddy to thank him well, but we didn't expect to be separated."

Feng Wu couldn't help feeling tenderness in her heart, thinking of Chu Yun's rascal appearance, a gentle smile bloomed unconsciously on her cold and pretty face, which made Feng Xue roll her eyes straight.

In Fengyue Tower, Xuanyuan Xing was sitting carelessly on the soft bed in the hall, holding a delicate blonde girl with one hand, with a cynical and playful look on her face.

Chu Yun stood there with his chest up and his hands behind his back, pretending to be a tiger.Eight guards wearing the Imperial Insignia and the rank insignia issued by the Imperial Martial Arts Institute stood aside, and invisible pressure permeated the entire hall.

The two emblems made Chu Yun salivate, one representing the Ouchi Imperial Guard who could conquer the officialdom outside the palace, and the other a rank emblem certified by the Imperial Martial Arts Institute.

What made Chu Yun drool was that it was forged from bronze and shaped like a water chestnut. It was the same as the emblem of the Youwu Association. It was engraved with images of [-] kinds of weapons. On it, five five-pointed stars surrounded a "Wu" Character.The only difference from the Martial Arts Association is that there is a circle of mysterious patterns representing the imperial family around the emblem.

These eight imperial guards are all five-star martial captains, half-step martial arts school!

Zi Yuan of Fengyue Pavilion and the pavilion owner knelt beside him tremblingly, not daring to lift their heads. Big cold sweat broke out from the pavilion owner's forehead, which had already soaked a large area of ​​the carpet.

The city guard of Fengcheng bumped in with his head in a cloak, and he was also covered in cold sweat. When he came to the hall, his legs softened and he knelt down on the ground, shouting: "Chen Fengcheng city guard Lin Miao sees the Fourth Prince !"

The Fengyue pavilion master and others who were kneeling aside trembled again, prince!Although they had guessed the young man's identity, when they heard the city guard's confirmation, they were so frightened that they almost collapsed to the ground.

Xuanyuan Xing didn't make a sound, as if he didn't see the city guard coming in at all, he looked up at Chu Yun beside him, laughed and said, "Chu Yun, thanks to you, my young master was spared this time. Master Ben will definitely repay your life-saving grace."

Chu Yun hastily smiled obsequiously and said, "Brother Xing, what are you talking about? This is Brother Xing, you are so prosperous, how can I have any credit for it? Of course, I don't want anything in return, and I can get a good job with Brother Xing in the future I am satisfied."

Xuanyuan Xing's eyebrows twitched, and he looked at Chu Yun with a strange look: "I said that you are more flattering than my family's eunuch, why don't you cut off your descendants and become the head of my family?"

Chu Yun trembled, straightened his back in a hurry, coughed twice to make his voice thicker and louder: "Brother, how can you say that, how can you be a eunuch if you are so masculine and iron-blooded? Give me It’s pretty good to be a great general.” He winked and looked at Xuanyuan Xing a few times, and said with a smile: “I see, are you jealous that my brother lasts longer than you?”

Xuanyuan Xing laughed twice, then looked at the city guard and others who were kneeling on the ground trembling, and then smiled coldly: "Lin Chengshou, my highness just entered Fengcheng today, and someone ran away immediately Come to assassinate, can you explain to me what's going on? Oh~ By the way, is this building owned by your family? Assassin who ran out of your business, how can you say you have something to do with it? Are you free?"

The city guard Lin Miao was so frightened that his head was pounding, and he shouted in extreme panic: "Your Highness, I have waited for 1 guts and would not dare to assassinate His Highness. Someone must have framed my Lin family!"

Xuanyuan Xing didn't say anything anymore, but played with the upright and soft chest of the girl in his arms very silently. The people in the hall were sweating profusely, and they almost fainted from fright.

"Your Highness, the generals of the [-]rd and [-]th Field Battalion are here!" a guard shouted.

"Please come in!" Chu Yun hurriedly passed the message on his behalf, and after a while, he saw two burly men with heavy armors stepping in. Looking at the emblems on their chests, they were all martial arts masters.

What opened Chu Yun's eyes was the heavy armor weighing hundreds of catties on their bodies, like two towering iron towers.

Xuanyuan Xing hurriedly waved his hand to signal them to stand aside before they opened their mouths to meet, then looked at Lin Miao with a gloomy face, and said with a sneer, "Shou Lin, this Fengyue Pavilion is your family's business, and you are the city's city guard." Shou, how do you want His Highness to believe that the assassination has nothing to do with you?"

Lin Miao's whole body trembled, and he secretly scolded His Highness for his shame. He actually waited until the two generals from the field battalion arrived before questioning himself. Was he afraid that my Lin family would not rebel?
