C496 ground movement (1/2)

Qing Xun's failure would undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the six noble families. The city lord of Peony City would never allow anything to go wrong with him. Even the Royal Family wouldn't allow Peony City to change owners so easily.

Peony City had been in a state of chaos for years. Once something happened in Qing Xun and it really did get out of hand, it would definitely cause a huge commotion in the Yue Empire. This kind of situation was not wise, and the royal family would never do something that would harm others and not benefit themselves. After all … There were also those in the royal family who supported their slavery.

Therefore, nothing would happen to Qing Xun. However, once something was exposed, the real scapegoat for their six great clans would be pushed out. This was what they were most worried about. Thus, at this moment, they were the most flustered.

”Your Highness, do you think they will succeed?” Peach stood by Feng Qing's side, taking up an umbrella for Qing Xun. At this moment, it was too hot, causing Tao Er to unconsciously frown. In order to uphold justice for those people, His Highness had even exposed himself here for so long. If they still failed, then it would truly be an unforgivable crime!

No... It would be best if Mu Ru Yue could die there.

Tao Er's heart was filled with anticipation.

On the other hand, Feng Qing's gaze was indifferent. He could only look at the nobles present, as well as the commoners that she could vaguely see. The faces of these people were brimming with enthusiasm and were cheering. Available... What about underground?

No one was laughing. The smiles of these people were exchanged with the suffering of the slaves.

He didn't know how to feel, nor did he know anything else, but there was one thing that mattered … It's not fair.

If they could exchange for it, they would probably understand the pain of those slaves.

Thinking of this, Feng Qing's expression became even paler. As expected, he didn't like people. Even if he was still human.

The sun shone brightly and everyone was celebrating. However, in this bustling city, the ground suddenly moved.

The earth was shaking, causing those who had been cheering just a second ago to lose their footing and fall to the ground.

Ah!” Not good! The ground moved! ”Run!” From the crowd, it was unknown who shouted this, but many people started to run out of the garden. After all, if the earth was moving, people would die if they were in the same place.

”Your Highness, what's going on? Let's go and take refuge first. ” Tao Er's face turned ugly. She also knew about the underground slaves. With the current situation, it was likely that Mu Ru Yue and the others had succeeded. Damn it!

”No one is allowed to leave.”

Feng Qing's voice was not loud, and it was instantly drowned out by the screams of these people. When Feng Qing saw this, his gaze turned cold. He turned to his side and said, ”Yu Wei, help me stop these people.”

Upon saying those words, a figure flashed past. At the outer perimeter of the Peony Garden, streaks of blood-red light flashed by.

”Murder!”

The screams came from outside.

There were people killing outside, but they couldn't stay inside either. Everyone was in a state of panic. At this time, the various city lords below Feng Qing also stood up and said: ”Your Highness, this matter is too dangerous, I ask that Your Highness retreat first.”

”I've already said that no one is allowed to leave.”

”Right, Your Highness, let's withdraw …” The people at the back wanted to persuade him, but when they heard Feng Qing's words, they became stupefied.

”Eh? Your Highness, are you serious? ”

”That's right. If something were to happen to you, even if we were to die a thousand times, we would still be blamed for it.”

”Yes, Your Highness.”

”I have already said it, so I do not want to repeat it a third time. ”From now on, you all should control the people present. If you are unable to control them, I will remember how you all look like. After that, we will settle our accounts.”

Feng Qing said coldly.

There were a total of eight City Governors present. These people were all from nearby cities. The only reason he was here was to make use of the light of Peony City, or perhaps the enemies of Peony City, to observe the city.

Feng Qing's words instantly caused them to feel unwell.

They were here to watch a banquet, why did they offend the Crown Prince?

”Stop them now. No one is allowed to escape. ” Feng Qing said.

”But …” Your Highness, even if you say that, I'm afraid that there are more than ten thousand people here, and we won't be able to stop you. ” Someone said.

”Didn't they all bring troops? We allow you all to move around Peony City. ” Feng Qing said.

This time, everyone was truly shocked.

As the City Lords, they naturally came to Peony City with their guards. However, if it wasn't an abnormal situation, they definitely wouldn't be allowed to use it. Feng Qing's permission made them realize that perhaps, the commotion in front of them was because of some mishap happening in the Peony City.

As the mayor of a city, he was not a fool. If his opponent was in trouble and they didn't make a move, then it would be too unfair for him and too much for Feng Qing's cooperation.
