The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world

Three days later, at dusk, the warship entered the Cangzhou waters, and Ning Ziqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After the ship docked, Huo Yunjue immediately asked Wei Feng to settle the islanders on Jiewu Island, and asked Wei Yu to take the three Long Lins to the government prison to await interrogation.

Ning Ziqing and Jiang Quhan helped A Ying and others carry their luggage off the ship.

An hour later, after counting the number of people and carrying everything on the boat, the group walked towards the city.

When they walked to the city gate, they saw a large number of officers and soldiers blocking everyone's way.

Just when Huo Yunjue was confused, he asked someone to go and inquire.

At this time, an official on horseback appeared in front of everyone from among the officers and soldiers.

"He Youjing, the prefect of Cangzhou, has met His Royal Highnesses. I didn't know that His Highnesses came to Cangzhou and were not welcomed at a distance. Please forgive me for your sins!"

The official named He Youjing got off his horse, bowed respectfully to Huo Yunjue, and walked towards him with a smile.

Huo Yunjue saw the team of officers and soldiers behind He Youjing holding weapons staring at the group of them with vigilance. He frowned and asked displeasedly: "What is the purpose of Mr. He bringing troops here to block the city gate?"

He Youjing chuckled and explained hurriedly: "Don't get me wrong, Your Highness, Fourth Highness. I heard that His Highness captured the pirates, and came here to assist His Highness in escorting the prisoners."

He Youjing said and gestured to his subordinates, who quickly asked the officers and soldiers to put away their weapons.

"I won't bother you, Lord He. The person arrested by His Highness will be interrogated in person. Lord He, please give way!" Huo Yunjue spoke forcefully and rejected him coldly.

He roughly guessed He Youjing's intention. He had long been dissatisfied with these Cangzhou officials, and now they actually wanted to take credit.

Huo Yunjue had a straight face and stared at He Youjing coldly.

He Youjing heard the displeasure and anger in Huo Yunjue's tone and began to become cautious.

He lowered his head slightly and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Fourth Highness, I think it is safer to capture the pirates in Cangzhou and leave them to my superior."

"After all, this matter needs to be reported to the imperial court. If Your Majesty learns that His Highness is privately leading troops to Cangzhou to seize pirates, His Majesty may misunderstand His Highness's intentions. I also ask His Majesty, Fourth Highness, to hand over the prisoners and not to embarrass the official. "

He Youjing bowed to Huo Yunjue, seemingly trying to persuade him, but in fact he was warning Huo Yunjue that he had not obtained Emperor Yao's permission and that his arrest of pirates would be punished by Emperor Yao and criticized by the court.

"He Youjing, are you threatening His Highness?" Huo Yunjue was instantly offended by He Youjing's words. He said with a sullen face and anger, "What if My Highness doesn't want to surrender!" His tone was very stern and he stared at He Youjing with a cold gaze.

He Youjing raised his eyes and glanced at Huo Yunjue. He was immediately frightened and panicked. He immediately knelt on the ground and apologized: "Your Majesty, Fourth Highness, please calm down. I don't mean to threaten you. This is all for the sake of Your Highness. Please forgive me." I can understand your painstaking efforts!"

He Youjing nervously lowered his head to admit his mistake, but there was a cold light hidden in his eyes.

"Haha..." Huo Yunjue said with a sarcastic smile, "Master He, I understand your "painstaking efforts"."

He looked down at He Youjing with contempt, not intending to give in, and raised his hand to signal the Golden Wing Army to be on guard.

"But..." Huo Yunjue looked solemn and glanced at He Youjing coldly: "Your Highness is going to let down Lord He's kindness."

Huo Yunjue retracted his gaze and sternly ordered behind him: "The Golden Wing Army obeys the order. Anyone who dares to block the road will be killed without mercy!" He looked sharply at the officers and soldiers on the opposite side, drew his long sword and stepped forward to confront them. .

The officers and soldiers on the opposite side quickly raised their weapons and prepared to attack. The two sides were at war with each other, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

Jiang Quhan stood in front of Ning Ziqing with a serious expression, protecting her.Aying and others couldn't help but huddle in fear when they saw the scene in front of them.

Long Yin held the handle of the knife tightly and looked forward, feeling a little at a loss.The tied Long Lin and Fu Yujie looked at each other silently, with a meaningful smile on their faces.

Huo Yunjue held the long sword in his hand, his eyes were sharp, and he looked at the opponent with a cold face.

He Youjing was still kneeling on the ground, a little surprised that Huo Yunjue was so strong. Wasn't it rumored that he was an unpopular prince?

At this time, he also felt a little panicked and didn't know how to end it.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, there was suddenly the sound of rapid horse hooves and deafening footsteps.

Ning Ziqing and others looked up and saw a large group of soldiers in armor rushing towards them.

"Your Highness, this is Gu Shaoqing." Wei Feng took a closer look and saw Gu Liaohe riding a horse, holding the reins with one hand and rushing to the front with the imperial edict raised in the other.

"The imperial edict has arrived! Your Majesty has an edict! Please receive the edict as soon as possible, Your Majesty the Fourth Highness!" Gu Liao Hema shouted loudly before he could stop.

When everyone heard this, they immediately knelt down. Huo Yunjue did not hesitate, put away his sword and stepped forward to receive the order.

"Your Majesty has an order: The fourth prince is specifically ordered to personally lead the elite Golden Wing Army to arrest the pirates with all their strength, recover the lost iron, and ensure the safety of the people of Cangzhou. Anyone who disobeys will be punished according to law!"

Gu Liaohe sat on his horse and solemnly read out Emperor Yao's will, and then handed it to Huo Yunjue respectfully.

Huo Yunjue took the imperial edict with both hands, stood up and nodded slightly to thank Gu Liaohe.

Gu Liaohe dismounted from his horse and bowed respectfully to Huo Yunjue and reported back: "Fourth Highness, according to His Majesty's decree, I have dispatched two thousand Golden Wings troops from Kyoto to Cangzhou, and combined them with the troops brought by the Fourth Highness. The five hundred elites can dispatch a total of [-] Golden Wings."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please take command and make sure to complete your mission." As soon as he finished speaking, the Golden Wing Army who followed Gu Liaohe immediately bowed their heads in greeting and shouted in unison, "I will obey the order of Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

After Huo Yunjue raised his hand to signal to Jin Yijun, Jin Yijun instantly became quiet and respectfully waited for his next command.

Then, Huo Yunjue turned around, looked down upon He Wenjing who was kneeling on the ground, and sneered disdainfully.

"Master He, now that His Majesty's decree is in the hands of His Highness, I will take over the matter of apprehending the pirates in Cangzhou with full authority. Do you still have any ideas?"

Seeing this, He Wenjing lay on the ground in panic and apologized to Huo Yunjue: "I am stupid and stupid. I have just offended His Highness the Fourth Highness. Please forgive me. Your Highness deserves to die. I deserve to die!"

He Youjing looked pale and kept wiping the cold sweat from his face.

"Extremely stupid!" Huo Yunjue cursed with contempt, and immediately ordered Wei Yu to take two thousand Jinyi troops to the coastal defense camp to rest.

At this time, Qian Wudao also hurried over with a small team of government servants to assist Huo Yunjue.

Seeing that the crisis was over, Ning Ziqing softened his expression, comforted A Ying and his party, and asked the remaining Golden Wings to help the elderly and disabled islanders enter the city.

Huo Yunjue and Gu Liaohe exchanged a few pleasantries and prepared to escort Long Lin and Fu Yujie to the government office for interrogation.

After Gu Liaohe saw Ning Ziqing, he waved hello to her.Ning Ziqing smiled and nodded in return.

Just as Ning Ziqing was helping an old lady walk a few steps, someone suddenly grabbed her arm and yanked her backwards.

Jiang Quhan reacted and tried to pull Ning Ziqing back, but was pushed away by Long Lin's palm.

After Long Lin grabbed Ning Ziqing, he reached out and clasped her neck.

Huo Yunjue's expression changed drastically and he rushed forward in a hurry.

"Dragon Scale, let her go!"
