"Haha, national law? In Yuncheng, I, Deng Yuqing, am the law!"

The young man laughed wildly, "I am the son of Deng Xianyong, the prefect of Yuncheng. Boy, since you dare to meddle in other people's business, I will let you see if you can leave Yuncheng alive!"

After he finished speaking, a group of servants gathered around the young man in white and the old man. The young man in white was a little nervous, but he still stood firmly in front of the old man and refused to retreat.

"Teach him a lesson!"

Seeing that the other party refused to retreat, Deng Yuqing gave a vicious order. At first, the young man in white was able to resist a few moves, but he was outnumbered and soon suffered repeated injuries.

"Bang, bang, bang." Fang Yi and his two companions descended from the sky like divine soldiers. They easily defeated the servants and helped rescue the young man in white.

Fang Yi asked with a smile: "What's your name, sir? You are so chivalrous and righteous, but it seems that you still need to hone your skills."

Chang Zhen and the other man also laughed heartily.

The young man in white smiled awkwardly and introduced himself: "I am Bai Yujing from Lushan Academy. Thank you for saving me."

Fang Yi was shocked. Lushan Academy was a well-known place in Da Zhou, gathering elites from various schools such as military strategists, Mohists, Legalists, Taoists, and Confucianists. Those who could enter were all extraordinary people.

This was mentioned by chance by Wu Minbo when he was discussing military affairs in the past, and Fang Yi still remembers it to this day.

"Who are you? How dare you touch my people!"

On the side, Deng Yuqing was furious, but facing the three new opponents with extraordinary skills, he was also a little afraid.

Fang Yi suddenly turned around, a chilling smile appeared on the corner of his lips. With a flick of his sleeves, Chang Zhen and Lu Qi quickly subdued the young man. The young man looked stunned. Obviously, no one in Yuncheng had ever dared to be so rude to him. He roared, "You are dead! My father will never forgive you. I will make all of your heads fall off. When the time comes, let's see how you kowtow to me and beg for mercy!" Fang Yi's face became even gloomier. With only one son, he was so domineering. The shadow behind his father, the prefect of Yuncheng, was probably even deeper. The reaction of the people around him undoubtedly proved that this kind of robbery was not the first offense. A mere fourth-rank official was nothing to be afraid of for a frontier general with a large army.

Bai Yujing leaned in and asked in a low voice: "Should we evacuate first? After all, this place is not under our jurisdiction." Fang Yi shook his head gently. At this time, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from the official road. A dozen cavalrymen galloped over, dismounted neatly, knelt on one knee and said in unison: "General!" These were the elite guards who had arrived in Yuncheng earlier, the elites of the Chiyu Camp. Their arrival made the whole street shrouded in a fierce fighting spirit. And this Chiyu Camp was the new recruit camp trained by Fang Yi himself.

Bai Yujing looked at Fang Yi in surprise, while Deng Yuqing beside him was trembling all over.

"Take him with you and let's go to the county government office."

Fang Yifei got on his horse and said to Bai Yujing before leaving: "Brother Bai, if you don't mind, you can rest for a night at a nearby inn. I will come back to discuss something important with you tomorrow."

Bai Yujing nodded silently, looking at the cavalry team going away, wondering in his heart, what kind of story is hidden behind such a young but powerful general?

When they arrived at the county government office, Fang Yi first ordered the guard Deng Yuqing to take Deng Yuqing aside, while he, Chang Zhen and Lu Qibu went deeper into the government office.

At this moment, Deng Xianyong had not yet learned of his son's arrest and thought that they were just discussing the handover of new recruits.

He said politely, "It is a great honor for General Fang Yi to visit us. Recently, the general's heroic name has become well-known. He is truly the pride of the people of Yuncheng."

Fang Yi smiled faintly in response: "Thanks for the compliment. Whether I can bring glory to Yuncheng is not the point, but today's trip has allowed me to witness something that brings shame to Yuncheng."

Deng Xianyong was immediately interested when he heard this: "Oh? What is it? Please enlighten me, General."

Fang Yi briefly recounted what had just happened, of course, concealing Deng Yuqing's true identity.

The more Deng Xianyong listened, the uglier his expression became. Wasn't this a slap in the face?

He slammed his palm on the table and said angrily: "Who is so bold and reckless as to disregard the law? He must be severely punished!"

Fang Yi raised a sinister smile and said, "Oh? In that case, the prefect doesn't need to worry about arresting him. I have brought him here for you."

Two guards walked in and threw Deng Yuqing to the ground. Deng Yuqing saw his father and was like grabbing a life-saving straw: "Dad, Dad, save me!" Deng Xianyong's face suddenly changed.

Fang Yi slammed the table and shouted, "You bold lunatic, who are you calling your father? As the ruler of a place, how could you give birth to a son like you who bullies the people? Lord Deng, don't you agree?"

Deng Xianyong took several deep breaths and tried hard to suppress his anger.

He did not dare to confront the powerful figure at the border head-on. Besides, everyone knew that Fang Yi was now a very popular figure in the court. Even the Marquis of Wuwei had been defeated by him.

Deng Xianyong waved his hand and all the bailiffs in the hall withdrew, leaving only Fang Yi and his son on the ground.

He turned around and said with a smile, "General Fang Yi, this is my unfilial son. I am sorry to trouble you. If I have been disrespectful, I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive me, and let my son go."

Deng Xianyong was humble and knew that smiling could often resolve many conflicts, especially for a strong person like Fang Yi.

Fang Yi looked at Deng Xianyong with a playful look, secretly admiring his good temper, but deliberately pretended to be indifferent and pretended to be surprised.

"Oh, are you serious? It's actually your son, Lord Deng! This is really like pulling a dragon prince out of a river, what a coincidence.

If I had known this, there wouldn't have been so many twists and turns.

Unfortunately, on the way to bring him here, I inadvertently made a vow in public that I would severely punish those bullies who disrupted the market.

You may not know that the crowd is as dense as a dark cloud, and I am afraid that soon this incident will sweep across the entire northern border like a north wind.

Lord Deng, what do you think of this situation? If we release him hastily, I'm afraid the Northern Frontier Prefecture will come to investigate sooner or later."

Fang Yi's performance was flawless. He sighed as he spoke, as if he was deeply regretting some helpless action of his.

When Deng Xianyong heard this, his heart was churning and he almost vomited blood out of the anger in his chest.

After so many years of ups and downs in officialdom, how could he not see through Fang Yi's acting?

It was clearly a step-by-step approach, forcing him to take matters into his own hands.

However, things have come to this point and there is nothing that can be done.

When his son was captured in broad daylight, could he really execute a court general in private behind closed doors?

If that happens, I'm afraid not only he but also his entire clan will have to pay the price.

Deng Xianyong gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "General, what do you think is the best strategy for us now?"
