Chapter 144: Named the City Lord

Hearing this crisp laughter like a silver bell, everyone looked sideways out of instinct.

Although Ye Xueqing is brutal and willful, she also has the praise of the first beauty in the royal city, and her peerless appearance has made countless noble children fascinated.

Ye Yuqing is still young, although she is not as stunning as her sister Ye Xueqing, but she is also slim and elegant, a complete beauty. In a few years, he will definitely be a lord who will bring disaster to the country and the people.

Because she stayed in the boudoir all the year round, except for her own mother and a few maids and servants, Ye Yuqing couldn't contact anyone else. Now I see so many people and look at her at the same time. Suddenly, the little face turned red with shame and hung his head deeply.

In this regard, the rude and willful Ye Xueqing was not afraid at all, but just snorted coldly.

Just when everyone was intoxicated by the peerless faces of the two Ye Xueqing sisters, Lin Feng instinctively frowned.

He really couldn't remember where he had offended this unruly eldest lady again. Could it be because of the killing of Wang Shide's father and son? But on second thought, it shouldn't be!

Just when Lin Feng was puzzled, there was a crisp sound of a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, coming from the crowd not far away.

"Brother Lin Feng, Brother Lin Feng ......"

In addition to Chen Wei, who else is so affectionately called Lin Feng.

Coming with Chen Wei were her brother Chen Yang, Shui Yang, Zhao Zilan, and Da Zhuang and others.

"I've seen the general!" Although they are like brothers and sisters, in this public, there must still be etiquette.

Seeing Chenyang, Chen Wei and the others coming, Lin Feng's expression immediately bloomed with a proud flower, and he hurriedly asked with a smile: "Sister Shui Yang, Brother Chenyang, are you okay lately?" ”

Just as these people were greeting each other, a hurried sound of horses' hooves, like rolling thunder, galloped from afar.

Seeing this scene, everyone's expressions couldn't help but be shocked.

Then I heard a shrill voice, which came through the air.

"The second prince has arrived!"

As the shouts fell, Dongfang Hong came to Lin Feng under the support of Gongsun Rulong and others.

Seeing this scene, Lin Feng immediately stepped forward and saluted, and said respectfully: "The last general, Lin Feng, has seen the second prince and General Gongsun!" ”

A smug smile rose on the corner of Dongfang Hong's mouth, and said: "Sure enough, he is a hero from a young man, General Lin Feng has such achievements at a young age, and his future is definitely limitless." ”

Lin Feng replied: "The second prince is falsely praised!" ”

Dongfang Hong glanced around from the corner of his eyes, especially when he found that the people of the Ye family were also in the crowd, the smug sneer on the corner of his mouth was a little heavier.

Then I saw him wave his hand at Gongsun Rulong beside him, and said, "General Gongsun, read out my father's edict!" ”

"Yes, Second Prince!"

After responding respectfully, Gongsun Rulong waved his hand to his subordinates and received an edict with a golden dragon diagram from the hand of one of the guards.

"Carried by heaven, the king's edict. The vanguard battalion of Dangkou led Lin Feng, exterminated the Qingfeng thieves, swept away thousands of miles of bandits around the royal city, and made many miraculous contributions to the stability of the empire. ”

"After many investigations, Wang Shide, the lord of Windy City, and his son Wang Hong were cruel and unkind to the people under their jurisdiction. And he has repeatedly colluded with the Qingfeng thieves to bring disaster to the empire. This edict is hereby issued to depose him as the lord of the city, confiscate all his family property, and reduce all the family members to slaves, and reward Lin Feng, the new city lord of Windy City! ”

Hearing this, everyone present stood in place as if they had been blown away by thunder.

Even Lin Feng, who had always been unfazed, was stunned at this time.

The knighthood, although it is an inferior viscount, but it also officially marks that he has stepped into the ranks of nobles. Windy City is one of the twelve acropolises of the royal city, and for hundreds of years, it has been controlled by the Ye family. But now that the king has made himself the lord of Windy City, isn't this a great gift?

However, when Lin Feng caught a glimpse of the sinister smile on the corners of the mouths of the second prince Dongfang Hong and Gongsun Rulong, he already understood what was going on.

Some people want to see themselves completely break with the Ye family, so they can reap the benefits of the fishermen!

"General Lin, what are you still doing there, why don't you kneel down and thank Wang En and receive the king's edict!" Gongsun Rulong seemed to have realized that Lin Feng would have such a reaction, and a smile unique to an old fox appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said coldly.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then took the king's edict with his hand, and said respectfully: "The last general, Lin Feng, kneel down and thank the king for his great kindness!" ”

Gongsun Rulong gently patted Lin Feng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "General Lin, since the so-called city cannot be left without an owner for a day, Windy City has encountered bandits in recent days, and the people are panicking. I still have to work hard for General Lin, and in three days, I will rush to Windy City to take up his post! ”

Lin Feng was slightly stunned when he heard this, then nodded and replied respectfully: "Yes, general, the last general will obey the order!" ”

At this time, everyone in the audience had already come to their senses, and they began to talk in groups.

"This Windy City Wang family and the Ye family seem to be in-laws, Lin Feng killed Wang Shide's father and son with thunder, not only was he knighted, but he was also named the lord of Windy City. It seems that this time the Ye family is dumb and eats coptis, and it is difficult to speak of suffering. ”

"I think the Ye family, which is known as the first family of the empire, is nothing more than that, it's just a vain name."

"That is, that is, maybe in a few decades, the reputation of the first family of the empire will change hands."

………………

Hearing the discussion of the onlookers, the people of the Ye family were all furious. Some of the other people from the thousand-year-old family frowned tightly, some were secretly happy, and a small part sighed for Lin Feng.

The nobles of the family are all foxes, and when they see it, they will naturally go deeper. How can this simple plan of killing people with a knife be concealed from them?

Lin Feng is a smart person, so he naturally smells the crisis. So after returning to the mansion, he summoned Zhao Ziming, Chen Yang, Shui Yang and other confidants to the room to discuss the next action.

Lin Feng glanced at everyone, and finally landed on Zhao Ziming's body, and asked in a condensed voice, "Ziming, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Zhao Ziming pondered for a moment, and replied respectfully: "For hundreds of years, Wind City has been the territory of the Ye family. The power of the Ye family has infiltrated every corner of Windy City, if we rush there, I'm afraid we will ......."

Before Zhao Ziming could finish speaking, Xue Yong, who had a hot temper, raised his throat and shouted: "Ziming, you scholars are afraid of this and that, and you don't see that Wang Shide's 50,000 army is in the hands of our general, but it will all collapse like a landslide in two hours." Other forces in Windy City, can they still be as powerful as Wang Shide? ”

Zhao Ziming hurriedly responded: "The struggle of interests among the upper-class nobles is far more dangerous than the real sword on the battlefield. As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge an open gun, but it's hard to defend against a dark arrow. The slightest carelessness can have unimaginable consequences. ”

Xue Yong also wanted to use his own reasoning to refute Zhao Ziming, but was stopped by Lin Feng with a wave of his hand.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, and finally his gaze fell on Yang Chen's body, and asked in a condensed voice: "Master Yang, according to your wishes, how should the juniors do it?" ”

Since Lin Feng killed Wang Shide's father and son and avenged the blood sea for them, Yang Chen had secretly sworn in his heart that even if he fought this old bone, he would repay this great favor.

Seeing his great benefactor, he is now in trouble. Yang Chen stroked his silver-white beard and responded: "General, in the opinion of the little old man, we have not completely torn our faces with the Ye family yet. Whether it is public or private, you should bring a generous gift and visit the Guogong Mansion. This may play an unexpected role in our future development. ”

As soon as Yang Chen's words came out, Xue Yong raised his throat again and shouted, "Master Yang, you are not old and confused. Now the people of the Ye family are eager to tear our general to pieces, drink his blood, and eat his flesh. You actually let the general visit the Guogong Mansion at this time, didn't you send sheep into the tiger's mouth and throw yourself into the net? ”

Seeing this scene, Lin Feng immediately glared at Xue Yong angrily, waved his hand, and shouted in a condensed voice: "Xue Yong, step aside, don't be rude to your master!" ”

After getting along these days, Yang Chen already has a certain understanding of Xue Yong, who has a hot temper and is straightforward, so naturally he doesn't take it to heart.

Instead, he stroked his beard lightly and said respectfully: "General, you may not know something." This Ye family is not a rock-solid, and there are many tribes among them. In addition to Guogong Ip Mantian, there is also a force that cannot be ignored. ”

Lin Feng was stunned when he heard this, and asked urgently: "Which force still wants the master to make it clear?" ”

Yang Chen pondered for a moment and responded: "In the past, the head of the Ye family was not the current Guogong Ye Wentian, but the Shangzhu Gong Ye Wenlong. It's just that Shangzhu Gong Ye Wenlong died early, and his son Ye Yunyong was still young at that time, so he passed the position of head of the family to Ye Wentian. Wang Lianhua, the eldest lady of the Wang family in Windy City, married Ye Yunyong as his wife. ”

In order to consolidate the position of the head of the family, Ye Wentian firmly held the family power in his own hands. has squeezed out and suppressed Ye Wenlong's old department many times, and cultivated his own henchmen. However, now that Ye Yunyong has grown up, many of the old subordinates who swore allegiance to Ye Wenlong have taken refuge in him. This poses a certain threat to his status as the head of the family. ”

When Yang Chen said this, he stopped directly and did not continue. Instead, he stroked his beard lightly and looked at Lin Feng with a smile.

Lin Feng is such a smart person, he naturally understands. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Thank you Master for reminding me!" ”

Then Lin Feng waved his hand at Zhao Ziming and said, "Ziming, now that the Qingfeng Thief has been exterminated, you go and take out a copy of the gold, silver and jewelry that was given to us and reward the brothers." ”

Zhao Ziming understood the overtone in Lin Feng's words, this is to buy people's hearts with money, especially Ye Hu and Black Dragon, the two factions who are to monitor their hearts.

"Yes, General!"

Lin Feng nodded lightly and said, "By the way, Ziming, you go and prepare a generous gift." Tomorrow morning, come with me to the Guogong Mansion! ”

"General, I'm going too. In case the people of the Ye family attack you, I can protect you. Without waiting for Lin Feng's words to fall, Xue Yong, who had endured until now without speaking, suddenly stood up again.

Seeing this scene, Lin Feng smiled faintly and said, "It's just right, there is still a shortage of coolies to carry gifts, since you want to go, then go with you!" ”
