The emperor's plan: to rule the world

Chapter 1123 The City Lord Was Killed
Yan State, Jing'an City.

At dawn, the morning light from the sky pierced through the night, and the bright light filled the world little by little. At the time when day and night converged, dark horses in black clothes quietly approached the city, while everyone was sleeping soundly. When he was in a daze, the gate of Jing'an City collapsed.

The generals guarding the city rushed to the city lord's mansion to discuss with the city lord what to do, but they were surprised to find that countless corpses had fallen in disorder in the city lord's mansion. Dark red, it looks weird and permeating.

Countless tall and straight soldiers poured into the city gate holding torches. The city was full of wind and rain in this night, and the solemn and solemn atmosphere made all the people who were awakened by this movement close the doors and windows of their homes, trembling Hiding at home, his opened eyes were filled with fear.

Another city collapsed under Dayan's iron cavalry, but Si Zhuoyuan didn't have the slightest pride or complacency in his heart. He frowned tightly, and walked into the City Lord's Mansion in a hurry, surrounded by a group of guards. But when he saw the corpses all over the ground, his face suddenly darkened: "Who did it?"

Si Rui followed him, and when he heard his question, he quickly replied: "My lord, the people in the city lord's mansion were in such a catastrophe only yesterday. When the subordinates and others first entered the city, they opened the door to see this scene."

Si Zhuoyuan tilted his head slightly: "So, there are no witnesses?"

"No."

"Does the Lord of Jing'an City have any enemies on weekdays?"

"Not at all." Si Rui was familiar with his master's temperament, lowered his head and said respectfully: "My lord, the city lord of Jing'an City has always been friendly with others. According to the information we got, at least the people in the city are very fond of him as the lord of the city. support."

Si Zhuoyuan frowned, knelt down slowly in front of the city lord's body, and stretched out his hands to check his body, with a little doubt in his expression.

One blow was fatal, and the technique was clean and neat, as if it was done by a professionally trained slayer.

However, at this critical juncture, who would have the thought to attack an ordinary city lord?

Jing'an City is just the most common city in Yan Kingdom, neither a border fortress nor a particularly prosperous city, what good would it do him to attack at this time?
Si Zhuoyuan turned over his body, examined it carefully, and found that besides this fatal wound, there was another wound on his body.

Looking at the wound in silence, Si Zhuoyuan pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time.

"Bury the person, block the news, and don't leak any news about this matter."

"Yes."

He thought, he probably should know who did it to him, but, using this method to target a powerful city lord, the city lord's subordinates are probably not as clean as the people say.

Yes, in the land of Jing'an City, it is not an exaggeration for the city lord of Jing'an City to say that he is powerful. The official system of Yan State is different from that of Dayan. In Yan State, the city lord can do everything in a city. decision, and the city lord can speak directly to the emperor.

"Si Rui, let Han Fei come to see the king."

"Yes, my lord."

Si Zhuoyuan left the group of people under his command and walked towards the study of the City Lord's Mansion.

No matter what, as long as his hands are not clean, there will always be evidence that the lord of Jing'an City can't die for no reason under his nose.
