C145 And Expensive
When Zhang Jingxuan said the words "family, son," the smile on Yan Shiting's face froze. His face turned cold, and the temperature of the entire room seemed to suddenly drop. Zhang Jingxuan knew that he had made the right move.
However, he had come here to seek a win-win situation, not to deal with someone. There was no need to make the situation go out of control.
Prefecture Lord Yann's face had already become as dark as water. He said in a low voice, "Chief Zhang, don't be too extreme in everything. Are you threatening me with your words? The letter in your hand can be reported to someone in the court. I will not stop you. Although my Yan Family is not a prestigious family, I will not stop you. I am not someone who will be slaughtered by others.
This so-called notice of yours must have been obtained under coercion, right? If someone came to investigate the truth, these few people would flip the case in minutes. Besides, I also want to see who would dare to take the risk of being a bandit to help you sue this case.
As for this hole, I can't think of a way to fill it up. At that time, if there really is a case against me, I will be charged with the crime of being falsely accused by a bandit. Let's see who can touch me! What a joke! What a joke! "
As Prefecture Lord Yann spoke, his gaze wavered slightly. It seemed that if there was a disagreement, both sides might have to fight. Just as Zhang Jingxuan was about to speak, he was interrupted by a sudden voice outside the door.
"Sir, there is an urgent military report. Peng Junhua requests an audience."
Prefecture Lord Yann did not bother to avoid Zhang Jingxuan and directly called for someone to report. A general Teng Teng walked up to him with big steps and bowed. "Sir, a large number of hungry people came from outside the city. The large group is less than three miles away from the city. Sir, please make a decision. "
Prefecture Lord Yann replied impatiently, "Didn't we already have a plan prepared yesterday? Hurry up and ask General Mi to send troops to clear out the rebels. If anyone disobeys orders, kill them without mercy! "
Prefecture Lord Yann was obviously not in a good mood. He could not help but speak with a murderous aura.
General Peng did not have the intention of obeying orders. He lowered his head and continued, "Sir, the current situation is much different from yesterday's judgment. Yesterday, we estimated that the famine population would be around 18,000 to 20,000 people, but now the four sects and spies have come to report. There are more than 60,000 hungry people here, and even more.
Moreover, many of them carried hoes, axes, shovels, sickles. They said that they were afraid that the state government would not open the city gates like the Mi Li County, so they would dig a hole to enter the city and ask for some food.
Moreover, most of the soldiers in our camp are local soldiers. If we send them out to suppress them, the people outside will be their fellow countrymen. If a mishap causes a mutiny, then it will be difficult to control the situation.
General Mi's subordinates are mainly foreign soldiers, but he did not return after contacting them yesterday. For some reason, he did not return. Sir, please send someone to transfer General Mi back to help."
This general had a very clear analysis of the current situation, and Zhang Jingxuan could not help but take a few more glances at him. He was not tall and strong, but his shoulders were very broad. Standing there, it was as if he was nailed to the ground, and his eyes were full of vigor. He was about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, and he had a heroic air about him.
After hearing his words, Prefecture Lord Yann flew into a rage.
"Trash! A bunch of trash! Are these rebels trying to rebel? Peng Junhua, do your soldiers want to rebel together with the rebels? What use do I have for trash like you? Every time I ask you to use your troops, you will always reject me. Your General Hu is not here. I won't be able to command you, right?"
However, even though he was angry, Prefecture Lord Yann also knew that Peng Junhua was right. These soldiers could still be useful under the eyes of the commanding officer. If he really let them out and saw his brothers and relatives, he would be able to use them. It might even be unknown if he would really throw down his weapon or change his tune. The risk was extremely high.
Therefore, he could only curse a few times and then open his mouth.
"Where is that General Mi right now? Why hasn't he returned yet? Hurry and send my order, have him come back quickly to protect the governor's manor and drive away the rebels" This sentence was mainly directed at Zhu Xiuwen.
Prefecture Lord Yann did not forget to glance at Zhang Jingxuan. He was probably unhappy that Zhang Jingxuan had defeated Mi Shuhuang, which was why he was unwilling to return to the prefecture.
In this short period of time, Yan Shiting was deeply troubled. In fact, he had experienced great storms and waves. Perhaps the thing that worried him the most was the faint threat in Zhang Jingxuan's words.
However, that brat seemed to have turned invisible and didn't say a word. He couldn't find a suitable opportunity to get mad at him.
More importantly, he wasn't sure if he should attack this young man who seemed to be even a little thin and weak. Perhaps, with the help of the few of them, he might be able to capture him in one go, and he would naturally be able to win the initiative.
However, he was a daughter of a rich family. Unless he had no other choice, he would never want to take the risk himself and fight Zhang Jingxuan. With just his capable guards, Song Fengxun and Zhu Xiuwen, he didn't have the confidence to take Zhang Jingxuan down.
Besides, the few people from the Breeze Stronghold, led by Lee Yuming, were all very troublesome people. Yann Lanxun hadn't completely settled his previous matters, so he would attack Zhang Jingxuan again. This was a grudge that was bound to be resolved. It was easy to dodge an open spear, but difficult to defend against an arrow in the dark. This was not his style of doing things, nor was it the result he wanted.
Just as he was hesitating, the advisor who had left earlier suddenly came back in a hurry, opening his mouth and opening his mouth. Prefecture Lord Yann felt unhappy when he saw that he had lost face. However, he held back and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you panicking?"
The grandmaster looked at the few people around him. Prefecture Lord Yann said impatiently, "It's just a small matter. Just say it." Although the grandmaster saw his master's instructions, he still refused to speak. Yan Shiting suddenly felt his heart tighten. He nodded slightly at the grandmaster. The grandmaster stepped forward and whispered a few words into Prefecture Lord Yann's ear with a trembling voice, but to the listeners... It was like a bolt out of the blue.
"Master, something happened to the second wife. Young Master, Young Master is missing. "
When Prefecture Lord Yann heard this, he couldn't help but feel his vision turning dark. He felt a wave of fury and panic rush up to him. He opened his mouth, wanting to shout for everyone to take Zhang Jingxuan down, but in the end, he only opened his mouth, not making a single sound.
The fury was rising rapidly, but in just a split second, it was suppressed by an even fiercer panic. At the same time, a deep sense of defeat was born in his heart.
This son was his lifeblood! Even ten Zhang Jingxuan could not match up to a single finger of his son. At this moment, he had to remain calm and not act rashly.
If he attacked and killed Zhang Jingxuan, his son would be in trouble. Anyway, he was in his own mansion, so he wasn't afraid of him flying into the sky.
In the end, peace was the most important thing for everyone!
