Dongfang Xinglan put away the letter, stepped into his tent, and quietly contemplated the map spread out on the table.
The Crown Prince dared to confidently send Prince Ning, so he must have a way to seize Prince Ning's Dragon Qi, otherwise, how could he benefit this Martial God Prince?
"I won't easily fulfill your wishes."
A smile flashed in Dongfang Xinglan's eyes. The several hundred thousand mbers of the royal family gathered in the Southwest were also a considerable fighting force. Prince Ning wanting to absorb all this Dragon Qi unhard... dream on!
However, to ensure the plan's success, personal command is necessary; otherwise, Prince Ning Dongfang Zhen's Martial God strength would be unbeatable in the Southwest.
But at this stage, I can't detach myself...
Amid his pondering, footsteps sounded outside the tent again. After a glance outside, Ming Lan hurriedly returned and said, "Your Highness, King Yu requests an audience."
A smile appeared at the corner of Dongfang Xinglan's mouth, "Here cos the solution."
Just as he was about to summon Dongfang Yinghai for a talk, a hawk flew in from outside the tent, and Dongfang Xinglan squinted his eyes; these were not his hawks.
Ming Lan quickly stepped forward to retrieve the letter from the hawk's leg and handed it to Dongfang Xinglan.
Dongfang Xinglan opened it to find speculation on ons regarding the Land of Prosperity written inside.
She couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh; it seems her brother in Beijing is very confident in acquiring the Dragon Soul of the Land of Prosperity.
"This is also good; saves a lot of ti..."
······
Jinnan City, Shiyue Restaurant.
Terrified, the waiter served dish after dish of fine cuisine. Zhiyu, who hadn't had a good al in a long ti, started eating voraciously, his small stomach seemingly a bottomless pit that never got full.
"Hey!"
Lu Jin'an, sitting on a chair with a mask on, knocked on the table: "Could you speed up the serving?"
"rcy, my lord, rcy..."
The waiter fell to his knees with a thud, his voice trembling, as the scent of blood at the entrance seed to grow stronger.
"Hurry up!"
"I'll go right away, right away..."
The waiter scrambled to the kitchen, fearing that a mont's delay would make him a victim of this King Yan's temper.
Outside Shiyue Restaurant, bodies lay scattered, blood pooling in the gaps between the floor tiles, forming a small lake.
Experts forrly belonging to the Jinyi Guard stood around, petrified.
Lu Jin'an casually watched a few trembling puppies on the floor, occasionally listening to Zhiyu's translations.
He was using the city's animals to help Dongfang Xinglan clean up the hidden threats in the city; naturally, he also took the opportunity to cut down a few thugs to deepen the residents' fear of him.
"My, my lord..."
Ding Feng entered with his head lowered: "The people from the Zheng Residence have been brought in."
Lu Jin'an nodded slightly: "Kill them all."
"My lord!" a mber of the Jinyi Guard behind Ding Feng couldn't help but speak up: "Mr. Zheng once served as Minister of Rites in the Eastern Capital, though now retired, his disciples..."
"Hmm?" Lu Jin'an looked over: "My words are no longer effective?"
"I dare not." The Jinyi Guard imdiately knelt: "Mr. Zheng wrote declarations against King Qin. If we kill him..."
"Would he be willing to surrender?"
"N-no, on the way here, he kept cursing you and King Qin, calling you disrespectful renegades worse than pigs and dogs," Ding Feng said with grit.
"Even the auspicious White Fox sides with King Qin, and he still curses?"
"Yes."
"I rember he also executed quite a few Jinyi Guards in Jinnan City; is there still a need to speak for him?"
"This..."
"Do it!" Lu Jin'an leaned forward slightly: "I won't say it a third ti."
Ding Feng waved his hand: "Go do it."
The Jinyi Guard gritted his teeth, about to speak when a cavalry unit rushed in from outside, led by none other than Chen Yandong, who had previously escaped from Jianzhao Valley.
Looking as if aged a few years, Chen Yandong stepped in, eyes bloodshot, fixing a gaze on Lu Jin'an: "Are you helping King Qin or yourself?"
"Naturally, I'm helping myself," Lu Jin'an drawled: "A chaotic Jinnan City, how long will it take King Qin to govern it? Plus, I've heard that Prince Ning's army has already invaded the Southwest. Once she is held here, how can she possibly return to aid?"
Chen Yandong was stunned; Prince Ning didn't rebel against the court?
This was indeed good news.
"Chen Yandong, you guard your city, I'll do my thing, why co here to hassle ?" Lu Jin'an twirled a chopstick: "If you really angered , can that small number of troops you have now stop ?"
Chen Yandong's eyes flickered, knowing Lu Jin'an spoke the truth, he cupped his fist and exited Shiyue Restaurant.
The light in the eyes of the store owner and waiters dimd instantly.
Lu Jin'an smiled but said nothing, he just wanted the city's people to know that the court's General in Yunshan State, Chen Yandong, couldn't save them.
The only one who could save them was Dongfang Xinglan, the King Qin, who was about to besiege the city.
Outside ca the cries for help directed at Chen Yandong from mbers of the Zheng Residence, but Chen Yandong ignored them and left with his n.
Thus, sounds of angry shouts and irrational cursing erupted.
Lu Jin'an gestured for the Jinyi Guard to go do their work, then handed Ding Feng a sheet of paper, speaking plainly: "Find these people."
Ding Feng opened it and discovered they were all unrecognized nas: "My lord, these people are..."
"They're all thugs and hooligans, find them and kill them," Lu Jin'an accepted a at bun Zhiyu handed over: "We also need to earn a good reputation."
Ding Feng was taken aback: "Wouldn't sparing Mr. Zheng be better for that?"
"What do I need a corrupt official's reputation for?"
"I understand, my lord..."
"Rember!" Lu Jin'an's tone intensified: "Search every household!"
