On the official road of Jizhou, a carriage galloped northward.
In the carriage, Ye Wufeng carefully laid down Lin Yu, who had bandaged his injuries, with an ugly face and a complicated expression.
"Second brother, it's okay!"
At this moment, Liu Qingcheng grabbed Ye Wufeng's hand and comforted him softly; but that pretty face and between the brows were filled with deep worry.
"Um!"
Ye Wufeng nodded slightly. He knew that his face at this moment must not look good, so he forced out a smile to reassure Liu Qingcheng.
But in his own mind, he was speculating.
His father, Ye Qingtian, is now a marquis appointed by the Chu royal family; Qingyun City has directly separated from Jizhou and become an independent county.
Who dares to attack a county in the empire? Who dares to attack a marquis in the empire?
You must know that in the empire, fighting and killing are allowed between warriors, factions, and families; but if someone dares to attack the government and kill officials, they are undoubtedly provoking the majesty of the royal family.
Provoke the entire empire.
No country or king would ever allow such a thing to happen.
If it really exists, it will be annihilated with strong force!
But now the edict to confer father Ye Qingtian as Qingyun Marquis and elevate Qingyun City to a county has been spread throughout the Cangyun Empire. Logically speaking, it is impossible for anyone to dare to misbehave against the Ye family.
What's more, from the rise of the Ye family to the present, although it has offended many forces and enemies, those people are without exception small families and small figures, not to mention the Chu royal family, even with the county magistrates and officials.
, it is impossible to have anything to do with it.
Then, who is it that wants to attack Qingyun City and the Ye family?
Aren't you afraid of attracting the wrath of the Chu royal family?
The wrath of the empire is so terrifying that even the Beginning Realm warriors cannot bear it. Although those who attacked Qingyun City include thousands of Tianchong Realm warriors, they are still insignificant compared to such a huge empire.
Are they really not afraid of death?
No, that's not right!
Everyone cherishes life and is afraid of death.
Especially Tianchong realm warriors, these people have reached the pinnacle of martial arts through hard work and have reached the threshold of martial arts; they cherish their lives more than anyone else, and are more afraid of them than anyone else.
Death is the right thing to do.
And since they dared to take the risk of offending the empire, attack a marquis and massacre a county, they must have a foolproof plan.
Could it be that there is an... empire behind them?
The Cangyun Empire has been in decline for hundreds of years; the surrounding empires have indeed been eyeing it with eager eyes and salivating.
At this time, it is not impossible to take the opportunity to attack the Cangyun Empire.
However, Qingyun City is located in the middle of Cangyun Empire, and it is a barren land. No matter which neighbor wants to attack Cangyun, it is impossible to choose Qingyun City to start!
unless...
Chu royal family!
Suddenly, a terrible thought suddenly appeared in Ye Wufeng's heart, making him tremble all over.
A marquis is already a middle- and upper-level official in the empire; moreover, he has the power to govern a county and absolutely plays a pivotal role in the empire.
Therefore, killing a marquis is undoubtedly a challenge to the majesty of the empire; let alone a warrior in the Tianchong realm, even a warrior in the Beginning realm cannot be so arrogant and arrogant to completely offend an empire.
Unless, there is support behind it from forces that are at least not afraid of the empire!
But Qingyun City is located in the middle of Cangyun, and its location is insignificant; even if the neighboring countries are planning to attack the Cangyun Empire, they will not choose Qingyun City.
It’s unnecessary and meaningless!
And if it weren't for the neighboring countries, there would only be one force left in the Cangyun Empire that dared to attack a marquis...the royal family.
The Lord of the Empire, the Chu Royal Family!
Only the Chu royal family has the ability to mobilize thousands of Tianchong realm warriors at once, and only the Chu royal family can ignore the wrath of the empire and directly attack the lord of a county.
If that's the case...
Ye Wufeng didn't dare to think deeply, he only felt cold all over and the wind was rushing down his spine.
"Forehead..."
At this moment, a groan of pain suddenly sounded.
Lin Yu, who was lying in the carriage, opened his eyes at some point and looked around with a pale face.
"Lin Yu, are you awake?"
Seeing this scene, Ye Wufeng hurriedly stepped forward, helped Lin Yu sit up, and asked with concern: "How do you feel?"
"No...it's okay."
Lin Yu seemed to be still very weak, but there was a trace of doubt on his pale face, and he puzzled: "Brother Ye, why are there only two of you left? Where is Brother Ye?"
"He went to Qingyun City..."
Mentioning his eldest brother, Ye Wufeng suddenly looked a little depressed.
Hearing this, a cold light flashed through Lin Yu's slightly narrowed eyes, but a look of worry appeared on his face, and he sighed: "Oh! I knew that after learning about Qingyun City, with Brother Ye's temperament,
You won't just ignore it..."
"Brother Ye, where are we going now?"
"Imperial Capital!"
Ye Wufeng explained: "Let's go to the imperial capital and move reinforcements! My father is now the Qingyun Marquis conferred by the Emperor of Chu. If Qingyun City is in danger, the Chu royal family will never sit idly by."
"In addition, the principal of Cangyun College has a close relationship with my third brother. He has promised to take care of the Ye family before. This time when I return to the empire, I plan to find him. If I can persuade him, the crisis in Qingyun will be solved!"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Yu's eyes suddenly narrowed into a thin line, and he murmured: "Sure enough..."
"What?"
Ye Wufeng didn't hear clearly and asked in confusion: "Lin Yu, what did you say?"
"No...nothing..."
Lin Yu quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Cang Yun Dean Fang Wushang, that is the most promising warrior in our Cangyun Empire to be promoted to the Xuan Realm in the past hundred years; if we can invite him this time, all risks will be taken care of.
Dissolve.”
"By the way, Brother Ye, I was prematurely unconscious due to my injuries, and there is one more thing I haven't had time to tell you yet..."
"What's up?"
"That's what happened..."
Lin Yu leaned forward slightly weakly. As he spoke, he approached Ye Wufeng; but with his right hand, he quietly touched behind him.
"I once heard those people say that the purpose of their attack on Qingyun City was to make the Ye family..."
"What do you want the Ye family to do?"
Hearing that it was about the Ye family, Ye Wufeng was immediately attracted, and unconsciously leaned forward slightly, wanting Lin Yu to get closer.
"In order to destroy the Ye family... completely!"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Yu's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly flashed with a chill; the right hand behind his back suddenly waved.
Whoa...
A cold light suddenly flashed and went straight to Ye Wufeng's chest.
With a pop, a sharp dagger with a length of eight inches was instantly inserted into Ye Wufeng's chest, deeply inserted into Ye Wufeng's chest. The red color suddenly appeared and blood gurgled.
This scene happened too suddenly and too fast.
As a result, Ye Wufeng was completely unprepared and never expected that Lin Yu would suddenly launch a sneak attack on him. In a daze, he felt a sudden pain in his chest and saw a sharp dagger inserted into his chest.
A heart-wrenching pain suddenly swept through his body.
But he didn't ask any questions. He suddenly raised his head, stared at Lin Yu closely, and slowly spoke in disbelief, asking: "Why...why?"
Why did Lin Yu pretend to be injured and sneak up on him?
