The cold blade slashed upwards, drawing a beautiful arc in the air. Yu Junting, who was caught off guard, reacted quickly. Following the direction of the blade, she suddenly bent forward. Her abdomen barely avoided the tip of the blade, but the sharp blade still touched her chest.
However, Yu Junting did not just bend over. At the same time as she bent over, her feet stepped hard and her entire body flew into the air. The blade slashed upwards, and her body also flipped upwards. As the momentum of the blade rose, Yu Junting curled her abdomen and retracted her body. She did an extremely agile somersault in midair, narrowly dodging the blade.
By the time Yu Junting had leapt into the air and landed on top of that person's head, that person's saber power had already been exhausted. The tip of the saber, which was flickering with a cold light, was just about to touch Yu Junting's back. Unfortunately, he had already used up all his strength. His arm had already stretched as far as it could go, unable to advance even half an inch further.
Yu Junting, who was rolling forward in the air, did not fall behind the man. She twisted her waist in the air, and with the help of the twisting force, her body, which was rolling forward, made a 360-degree turn in the air. At the same time, her slender fingers had already spread open, and she grabbed the man's head.
"Ka-cha!" A crisp sound rang out. The man's head had been forcefully twisted by Yu Junting. Yu Junting landed steadily behind that person. All of this happened in the time it took for a spark to fly off a flint, and it only happened in an instant. Life and death had been decided.
"Dang!"
The blade that was originally in the leader's hand fell to the ground. The leader's eyes bulged out in anger as he looked at Yu Junting in shock. His eyes were filled with fear. How could the chieftain know martial arts! He had never seen this female chieftain wield a spear or a stick. He never would have thought that someone as delicate and timid as her not only knew martial arts, but also had such a high level of martial arts!
The leader rolled his eyes and looked down. He saw his own back and his buttocks. He was so shocked that he subconsciously wanted to take a breath. However, his twisted neck could not allow him to breathe. He looked at his own back in shock. This was the first time he had seen it and it could be imagined that it would be the last time.
Yu Hailong saw such a thrilling scene and his heart that had previously been in his throat finally calmed down. When he saw that Yu Junting had safely landed on the ground, he crossed his arms and sneered, "I can at most withstand seven moves from Mister Wen. I can't even withstand five moves from the chieftain! Do you know what it means to surpass the master? "
Yu Junting coldly looked at the leader whose head had been completely twisted. It was as if he had been struck by her gaze. The leader fell backwards in despair and landed heavily on the ground. Yu Junting raised the tip of her foot and the blade, one of the three famous blades of the southern border, transformed into a blade wheel and flew into the sky.
It whistled as it spun. The blade wheel's strength gradually dissipated as it once again transformed into a sharp treasured blade. The tip of the blade pointed downwards and fell straight down. With a 'cha' sound, it firmly stuck close to Yu Junting's toes and stabbed into the ground. The surface of the blade was like limpid autumn water, sparkling and translucent.
Yu Junting coldly said, "This person intended to murder his own chieftain. He is guilty of the most heinous crimes! In his family, all males who are taller than this blade will be beheaded! The rest, regardless of gender or age, will all be demoted to slaves and given to meritorious officers and soldiers! "
Yu Hailong cupped his fists and responded respectfully. He held the blade in his hand. This was the 'ruler' he would use to punish this family member who had murdered his master. Yu Junting then turned to Yu Po-man and Yu Jiahai. Yu Jiahai stared at her fiercely but he was cowardly at heart and said, "You … What do you want?"
Yu Junting was silent for a while and said sadly, "No matter what, I will not harm you. But you have done wrong and cannot go unpunished. From now on, I, the chieftain, will strip you of your land and your people. I will bestow you a house and three mu of land. Repent for your sins! "
Yu Jiahai's eyes suddenly brightened. He had thought that he was definitely going to die this time. Even though Yu Junting had already said that she would not harm them, but until Yu Junting's punishment was announced at this moment, he was truly relieved.
Yu Po-man still had a look of hatred and arrogance. He did not appreciate his niece's leniency. That's right, he had sent his trusted subordinates to assassinate his niece. Even when his eldest brother had died early and his niece had inherited the position as a young girl, he had tried to poison her food many times. Unfortunately, he did not know if someone was secretly protecting her or if the heavens were protecting her, she had always been lucky enough to escape.
Counting on his fingers, he had personally carried out no less than thirty assassinations. But he had never felt that he deserved to die. He was even more angry at his niece for stripping him of his power and wealth. But … At this moment, did he still have the right to object?
After all, in the past, everything was done in secret. He could completely shirk responsibility. But this time, he had colluded with outsiders to deal with his own chieftain. No matter what, he could not shirk responsibility.
Yu Hailong did not agree with the chieftain's leniency. But, he also understood the chieftain's difficulties. If it was Yu Junting's father who was still in power, he could carry out a cruel purge and revenge without any psychological burden. But, Yu Junting was the younger generation.
But, if there was no cruel punishment, the cost of betrayal and rebellion would be too low. There would be more and more ambitious people. For a large family that had lasted for hundreds of years, if there was no severe punishment for wrongdoing, how could they ensure its unity and continuity?
Yu Junting looked at the leaders kneeling on the ground and shouted in a deep voice, "As leaders, you all followed my third and fourth uncles in rebellion and plotted to kill your own chieftain. You all cannot be forgiven. First, take them to the side. When we return, we will execute them in front of everyone! Family members will be reduced to slaves and given to meritorious soldiers! "
Yu Hailong shouted, "Take them all away!"
The guards immediately pounced forward like wolves and tigers.
…
Yu Junting subdued Yu Po-man and Yu Jiahai's troops. She detained Yu Po-man and Yu Jiahai in a house in the city. She handed over the soldiers to Yu Hailong and rushed to the magistrate's office.
At this time, Tongren City was completely under the control of Gedore's and Grong's troops. The two had already controlled the entire city, especially the Zhang family's encampment in the west of the city. There was a sentry every five steps and a sentry every ten steps. It was heavily guarded.
When Ye Xiaotian saw Yu Junting rushing over, he hurriedly went up to her and asked, "It's all settled?"
Yu Hailong laughed and said, "The chieftain will follow the will of the people. Naturally, he will succeed!"
Yu Junting rolled her eyes at him and said to Ye Xiaotian, "Fortunately, with your help, Tongren is already under our control. My third and fourth uncle's subordinates saw that the situation was hopeless and gave up resisting."
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "That's good. At present, only the Zhang family's residence has not been conquered. We can't keep being trapped like this. There is running water and food in the magistrate's office. Although there are so many people, it won't be a problem to eat for a year or so. What do you plan to do? "
Yu Junting thought for a while and said to Yu Hailong, "Where is Zhang Yi? Bring him here!"
Yu Hailong agreed and sent someone to bring Zhang Yi. Yu Junting said to Ye Xiaotian, "The Zhang family has already been defeated. I hope that Zhang Yutong can understand the situation and put down his weapons and surrender. As long as he accepts our conditions, I will not do anything to him. In this way, we can let Tong Ren settle down before anyone else can interfere. "
Ye Xiaotian nodded and said, "What if Zhang Yutong insists on doing things his own way? I think this person has a very violent temperament! "
Yu Junting bit her lips and asked, "What do you think we should do?"
Ye Xiaotian said decisively, "We can't give others a chance to interfere. In order to buy time, we can only fight our way in!"
Yu Junting nodded and smiled gently, "I'll listen to you!"
Duo Ni, who had rushed over just in time, happened to hear the last two sentences. She was immediately displeased, "She is obviously determined to fight, but she pretends to be pitiful and listens to my Brother Xiaotian. She is really a coquettish fox who knows how to act!"
Hua Yunfei saw her expression and couldn't help but chuckle, "Even you can see it. Can't big brother see it? But big brother has always planned this, so it doesn't matter who says it. She pretends to be weak because she wants to rely on us and the Cool Moon Valley. "
Duo Ni pouted and said unhappily, "I'm just afraid that what she wants to rely on is not our stronghold and the Cool Moon Valley, but …"
Duo Ni glanced at Ye Xiaotian and didn't say anything else. Women had an innate sixth sense when it came to emotions. When it came to emotional crises, they were much more sensitive than any other creatures in the world, even the innocent and pure Duo Ni.
Zhang Yi was brought in front of Ye Xiaotian and Yu Junting. He wasn't tied up, so he was given preferential treatment. However, he looked depressed and listless. When he was brought in front of Ye Xiaotian and Yu Junting, he still looked dejected and didn't lift his head or open his eyes.
Yu Junting said in a low voice, "Zhang Yi, a mere magistrate's office isn't enough to rely on. If the Zhang family doesn't repent, they will definitely perish together. I hope you can convince Zhang Yutong to give up resistance! I can guarantee that the lives and wealth of the Zhang family won't be lost. "
Zhang Yi slowly raised his head and looked at her with a cold smile, "You want me to convince the family head to submit to your Yu family? Haha, you're dreaming! "
Ye Xiaotian said, "Zhang Tushe, do you think that if you don't go, the Zhang family can continue to maintain their position as the number one chieftain of Tongren? From the moment Zhang Yuhan lured Yong Ni and Agachir to death, your Zhang family is destined to be able to cover the sky with one hand and suffer a crushing defeat. Don't you understand?! "
Yu Junting picked at her fingernails and said leisurely, "Official Ye is right! Now, as long as I gather all the chieftains of Tongren and report everything that Zhang Yutong has done to the imperial court, not only will he lose his prefectural magistrate position, his hereditary chieftain status will also be lost. You better consider this carefully! "
Zhang Yi laughed loudly, "Hahaha, you good couple, echoing each other. Aren't you trying to trick me into convincing the family head to surrender? Since you have the ability to directly report to the imperial court and usurp my Zhang family's position, why bother saying so much to me? "
Yu Junting said coldly, "I'm saying so much to you because I don't want to cause unnecessary casualties!"
Zhang Yi laughed coldly, "No matter how glib your tongue is, do you really think that I, Zhang Yi, am an idiot? Hmph! You are just worried that if this drags on for too long, the imperial court, Bozhou's Yang family, Sinan's Tian family, and even that Chieftain King will all have ulterior motives and interfere. Do you think I don't understand? "
Yu Junting said calmly, "You're right, I do have this worry. This is also one of the reasons why I want to quell the chaos in Tongren as soon as possible. I won't give you any more chances, I hope you can adapt to the circumstances! "
Zhang Yi puffed out his chest and shouted, "If you want to kill me, then kill me. Don't talk nonsense!"
Yu Junting sighed and gently glanced at Ye Xiaotian, saying, "If he doesn't agree, what do you think we should do?"
Duo Ni stood behind and gritted her teeth, "Vixen, vixen, what a vixen!" The hunting bow in her hand was ready to move. Hua Yunfei quickly stepped forward and blocked in front of her.
Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said, "Then there's no other way! Zhang Yutong knew that he had committed a grave sin, so after he failed, he set fire to the entire mansion and burned himself together with his henchmen in the mansion. It's really pitiful, what a pity! "
Yu Junting smiled sweetly at him and said, "I know!"
Yu Junting turned around and walked away. Her gait was beautiful.
She had only taken three steps when Zhang Yi, who had completely broken down, shouted, "Don't set fire! I'll go, I'll go! "
