Chapter 36 The Army is Coming

Qingfeng City is his fiefdom, which means he is the master here. It is impossible for his son to get into trouble in his territory.

Moreover, in Qingzhou, few forces dare not give him face if he shows his title of Yangling Marquis.

"What happened?" Yangling Marquis asked in a deep voice.

The housekeeper in the front yard knelt on the ground and cried, "The second son was assassinated in the Qingfeng City Lord's Mansion..."

"What?"

Yangling Marquis was furious. Although he did not believe that someone really dared to attack his son, if it was not true, the housekeeper in front of him would not dare to risk his life to talk nonsense before coming.

There is only one fact, that is, his son was really killed.

How brave!

Someone actually dared to attack his own son. Didn't he know that he was the king of Qingzhou?

"Who is the murderer?" Yangling Marquis roared.

"This is the letter sent back by the guards around the second son." The housekeeper in the front yard took out a letter and handed it to Yangling Marquis respectfully.

Yangling Hou took the letter and looked at the contents of the letter. His face became darker and darker. "This Qingfeng Sect, a sect that is not even of the ninth rank, dared to attack my son. Who gave him the courage?"

The contents of the envelope recorded in detail what happened when the second son went to Qingfeng City. Although they had no direct evidence, they all knew that the murderer must be Qingfeng Sect.

After a long time, Yangling Hou finally calmed down. He sent Mo Lao, a master of the eighth level of innate realm, to protect him. The letter said that Mo Lao also died in the room.

The existence that can kill Mo Lao must not be an ordinary person. Could it be that a master was involved? However, there are only a few masters in Qingzhou. Almost all of them are in seclusion and it is impossible for them to go to Qingfeng City. Besides, they can't lower their status to assassinate his useless son.

Yangling Hou doesn't believe that Qingfeng Sect has the strength to kill Mo Lao. There must be someone or a force behind it. This person or force must be coming for him.

No matter who this person or force is, this marquis will not let them go.

Yangling Hou gritted his teeth and thought.

What matters now is to destroy the Qingfeng Sect first, and I believe the forces behind him will naturally jump out.

The furious Yangling Marquis immediately mobilized 10,000 troops to leave the barracks and headed straight for Qingfeng City.

The various forces in Qingzhou were shocked when they learned that Yangling Marquis personally mobilized 10,000 troops to leave. After all, Yangling Marquis's every move would cause a shock in Qingzhou.

The officials of Qingzhou were also a little confused. They did not receive orders from the king's capital, which meant that Yangling Marquis privately mobilized troops to leave, which was a taboo. At the least, the marquis' title would be revoked, and at the worst, the whole family would be executed.

However, they also knew that Yangling Marquis was one of the four marquises of the Qin Dynasty, with a high position and power. The king would not necessarily deprive him of his marquisate, but a reprimand was inevitable.

The various forces soon discovered that Yangling Marquis personally led the army to his fiefdom, Qingfeng City, which made the various forces feel strange. They mobilized so many troops to go to such a remote town.

Something must have happened. Soon they found out that the second son of Yangling Marquis was assassinated in Qingfeng City.

This surprised them.

Who is so powerful that he dared to assassinate the second son of Yangling Marquis? Others don't know, but don't they know? This person is not only the Yangling Marquis of the kingdom, but also a master.

With 300,000 troops in his hands, and being a master himself, other forces, except for the top sects in Qingzhou, would not take the initiative to provoke Yangling Marquis even if they are not afraid of him.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Soon there was news that the murderer was a small and unknown sect-Qingfeng Sect. Although there is no evidence to prove that the murderer is Qingfeng Sect, they are as sure as Yangling Marquis that the murderer is Qingfeng Sect.

This is an open matter. There is no one else except Qingfeng Sect. No wonder Yangling Marquis was so angry that he led the army to conquer.

...

Qingfeng City, City Lord's Mansion

The Lord of Qingfeng City was so upset that he was walking back and forth in the courtyard. He couldn't even eat. The death of the second son in the City Lord's Mansion made him unable to explain to Yangling Marquis. With Yangling Marquis's domineering character, he would most likely die.

He learned from the guards left by the second son that Yangling Marquis was on his way and brought 10,000 troops with him.

Now he faced two choices. One was to bet whether Yangling Marquis would kill him, and the other was to run as far as he could. After all, he didn't kill the second son, and Yangling Marquis wouldn't chase him. However, if Yangling Marquis chased him, he might not be able to hide.

It would take at least two days for Yangling Marquis' army to come to Qingfeng City. If he couldn't think of any other way, he could only wait to die.

The housekeeper saw that the Lord of Qingfeng City was anxious about the second son. While he was helpless, he was also worried. After all, he and the Lord of Qingfeng City shared the same fate. If Yangling Marquis didn't let the Lord of Qingfeng City go, then he wouldn't let him go either.

The two were trying to think of how to save themselves. Suddenly, the housekeeper had an idea and said to the Lord of Qingfeng City: "Lord, we all overlooked one thing."

"What did you overlook?" The Lord of Qingfeng City frowned slightly.

"Lord, we all overlooked that Sect Master Qin." The housekeeper said in a low voice.

"Qingfeng Sect Qin Ye——" The Lord of Qingfeng City looked at the housekeeper with strange eyes. If Qin Ye hadn't killed the second son, there wouldn't be so many things. Now, he is worried that Yangling Hou will come to Qingfeng City to kill him as a sacrifice. After all, his son died in his own city lord's mansion. What's the point of talking about Qin Ye now?

"In fact, it is obvious that the second son sent someone to kill the Qin Sect Master, and then was killed by the Qin Sect Master." The housekeeper said.

"Humph! How could I not know this, but the person died in my city lord's mansion after all." The Lord of Qingfeng City said with an ugly face, and greeted the second son's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart.

But who is right and who is wrong, is it still useful now? Will Yangling Hou listen to you saying that it was his son's fault?

Let alone the fact that death is the greatest, if you really dare to say this to Yangling Hou, Qingfeng City Lord dares to guarantee that he will be slapped to death by Yangling Hou as soon as he says it.

Qingfeng City has been peaceful for so many years, and when something happened, it was a matter of life and death. The excited Qingfeng City Lord had to take a rope to solve it himself.

"City Lord, I found out another thing. The other person who died in the second son's room, the guards all called him Qi Mo Lao, and he was sent by Yangling Hou to protect the second son." The person who died in the second son's room must be of high status, so the housekeeper started from the guards around the second son, and it took a lot of twists and turns to find out his identity.

Qingfeng City Lord sneered: "What's the point of finding out his identity when he is dead? Yangling Hou sent one or two people to protect his son, what's wrong with that?"

"But this person is in the eighth level of Xiantian, this is wrong."

"What? Innate eighth level——" Qingfeng City Lord took a breath, he is not even in the Xiantian realm now, and the eighth level of Xiantian is a strong man even in the Great Qin Dynasty, and they are all powerful figures. Normally, he doesn't even have the qualifications to meet them.
