Chapter 287 (1/2)



287 The revival of the Spring Festival (8000-word long chapter) -4

Provincial governor Zhang was stunned for a moment, as if he had grasped something. He asked,”What did Duke of Wei tell you?”

“My foster father said that the mountain bandits of Yunzhou would cause trouble and ordered me to come here in secret.” Yang Yan said, ”

“I’ve already secretly taken control of the military strength of the various guard stations in Yunzhou a few days ago. I originally planned to clear out the mountain bandits after a period of time, but I didn’t expect that there would be more than a dozen groups of mountain bandits wreaking havoc everywhere this evening. I had just led a team to exterminate them when I guessed that something might have happened to White Emperor City, so I immediately rushed over.

“Sixty li from White Emperor City, we encountered an Army of Two thousand and just finished killing them.”

Li Miaozhen glanced at the tip of the spear and thought that it was no wonder there were bloodstains on it.

Provincial governor Zhang was relieved.”So we’re just pawns on the surface, and Duke of Wei still has plans in the dark.”

Yang Yan’s eyes swept across the crowd and he frowned. “Where’s Xu Qi ‘an?”

Governor Zhang’s expression suddenly froze, and the pleasant surprise in Jiang Lu’s eyes gradually faded.

Yang Yan’s heart sank, and his already stoic face became even colder.

“He …” Governor Zhang’s eyes were filled with sorrow as he said,”He … Died in battle.”

Li Miaozhen slightly lowered her head and sighed.

Kachaa … The stone bricks under Yang Yan’s feet suddenly cracked, and a stream of Qi flowed out uncontrollably, indicating that Jin Gong had lost control of his emotions.

His eyes were as sharp as a knife. His face, which had been paralyzed for many years, was now twisted. He squeezed out a sentence through his teeth, “”How did he die?”

Provincial governor Zhang told Yang Yan everything that happened today. When he finally said that Xu Qi ‘an did not retreat in order to protect everyone, the provincial governor’s eyes turned red.

“He was hit by thirty-one arrows and had more than sixty saber wounds … He had been standing until his death, and he didn’t retreat when he said so … A promise is worth a thousand gold, a promise is worth a thousand gold.”

Jiang Luzhong slowly let out a breath. He couldn’t bear to see Governor Zhang’s sorrowful appearance and said in a deep voice, ”

“It’s my fault,. ‘m sorry …”

The long spear in Yang Yan’s hand swept across without any warning. The spear bent and smashed heavily into Jiang Luzhong’s chest.

Bang! Bang!

A loud bell-like sound exploded between heaven and earth.

Jiang Luzhong smashed through the female wall and was thrown out.

Yang Yan stomped on half of the city wall and rose into the sky, his angry roar reverberating in the distance, ” Jiang Luzhong, you piece of trash. I must kill you today.

……..

In the main hall of the courier station.

Xu Qi ‘an, three silver gongs, and one copper Gong’s body were placed in the middle of the hall. They were covered with a white cloth.
