Iron Cross Fire

Although what happened just now was very annoying, this is Qingyun City after all. It would not be good for him to force the city lord into a corner.

"You..."

Seeing Yue Feng still speaking for the city lord at this time, Qingyu stamped her feet anxiously and finally sat back in her seat.

Shaoyang Wang was smart. Seeing that Yue Feng first asked the city lord to deal with his subordinates and now comforted him with kind words, he realized that things were not as simple as they seemed. He immediately said, "Okay, what happened just now is over."

Huh!

Hearing this, the city lord hurriedly bowed to Shaoyang Wang: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your deep understanding of justice." Although he controls Qingyun City, his status is not as noble as Shaoyang Wang, so he naturally has to be respectful and polite when speaking.

Shaoyang Wang nodded and said with a smile: "City lord, don't be so polite. Whether you can defeat Ji Beiye's army this time, you still need the navy of Qingyun City."

Hearing this, the city lord was not only a little flattered.

Because what King Shaoyang said was right, the Qingyun Navy was famous all over the world, and it was invincible in water battles. In the past few years, it had cleared the pirates near Qingyun City and had not lost a single battle. Although Ji Beiye had hundreds of thousands of troops, the soldiers were all from the north, and none of them knew how to swim.

If a war really broke out, it was still unknown who would win or lose.

However, King Shaoyang didn't know at this time that the city lord in front of him had secretly formed an alliance with Ji Beiye.

"Lord City Lord."

At this moment, Yue Feng stood up and asked the city lord: "There is something I want to ask, does the city lord know Xing Tiance, the leader of the imperial army?"

At this time, Yue Feng's eyes showed some expectation.

Swish!

At the same time, King Shaoyang and Ying Kuang also looked closely at the city lord.

Xing Tiance left the Hu people before Yue Feng, and he should have arrived now, but there is still no news, which makes people worry.

What should come is still coming.

At this moment, facing Yue Feng's question, the city lord was shocked, and then nodded and said: "Of course I know him, Commander Xing and I are old friends."

While speaking, the city lord's mind turned quickly, thinking about countermeasures.

Hearing the answer, Yue Feng nodded, then sighed and said: "Commander Xing and I actually knew each other in the Hu people..." A few minutes later, Yue Feng told the situation.

At the end, Yue Feng looked at the city lord and said: "Now I have arrived in Qingyun City, but Commander Xing has not received any news. I want to ask the city lord if Qingyun City has received any news recently."

Huh!

At this moment, the city lord's mind turned quickly, knowing that the paper cannot cover the fire, and then secretly took a deep breath and slowly said: "To be honest, sir, Commander Xing had already arrived in Qingyun City late last night. At that time, we had a good chat, and finally I ordered the guards to put him in the posthouse to rest..."

Hearing these words, whether it was Yue Feng, Shaoyang King and Ying Kuang, they were all excited.

The next second, Yue Feng was the first to react, looking at the city lord with burning eyes: "What about him?"

Alas!

The city lord sighed and said hypocritically: "Unfortunately, Commander Xing was assassinated last night. When the guards arrived, Commander Xing was already dead, and the assassin... the assassin also escaped."

After that, the city lord lowered his head and pretended to be sad.

What?

Yue Feng was shocked and thought he had heard it wrong.

Xing Tiance is dead? How could this happen?

At the same time, King Shaoyang and Ying Kuang were also shocked and couldn't believe this fact. You know, Xing Tiance is very powerful. It's no problem for him to travel alone. There are very few people who can kill him.

Unless... someone deliberately set an ambush.

Finally, Ying Kuang also recovered and looked at the city lord with displeasure: "Why didn't you report this matter immediately?" In his words, he couldn't hide his anger.

Plop.....

Feeling Ying Kuang's anger, the city lord quickly knelt down and said in panic: "Your Majesty, calm down. I just got the news this morning and came to report it. I didn't expect to be delayed by Mr. Yue Feng's matter..."

Seeing him say this, Ying Kuang felt inexplicably irritated and said unhappily: "Okay, you get up."
