At dusk, Wang Gong hurried into the hall and bowed to Xiang Chun. "Senior Brother Xiang, you were looking for me?"
Xiang Chun said, "You must already know about Teacher's matter?"
Wang Gong hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Xiang Chun picked up a letter from the table and threw it forward. "Take this."
Wang Gong glanced at it. "What is this?"
Xiang Chun said, "A letter for the Governor."
Wang Gong suddenly raised his head.
Xiang Chun stood up and walked to the window. With his back facing him, he said, "I know you're from the Governor's residence. You're the most suitable person to deliver this letter."
Wang Gong lowered his head and walked forward to take the letter. Then, he asked, "What does the letter say?"
Xiang Chun said after a while, "This is the Xuanfu's reply to the Governor's residence."
Wang Gong thought about it for a moment, but didn't say anything more. He put the invitation away, clasped his hands, and walked out. When he reached the door, he paused, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything and just left.
Xiang Chun waited for a while before an old civil official came out of the side hall. He cupped his hands and said politely, "Manager Xiang, no, Head Xiang Xuan, we've seen your sincerity."
Xiang Chun said in a deep voice, "I don't care what you want to do or what you want to do to the Governor's residence. We Xuanfu just want to leave this quagmire." He turned around and stared at the old civil official. "Of course, if you want to go back on your word, we Xuanfu have the means to protect ourselves."
The old civil official raised his hands and said solemnly, "This old one will remember. This old one will convey Head Xiang Xuan's words to Mu Gong."
After he left, Xiang Chun waited for a while and walked directly into the interior of Mount Qi through the corridor behind the hall. He walked down a secret passage and used the mystic jade he took from Chen Song to open two stone doors in succession. Finally, he entered a dark stone mansion prison.
In the darkness, countless eyes lit up. A voice sounded, "Xiang Chun? You're here … Qi Hua is dead? "
Xiang Chun said in a deep voice, "Teacher has passed away."
The voice murmured, "Looks like he really can't control himself …" After a while, those eyes slowly moved to the vicinity of the metal railings. For a moment, it seemed like countless people were hiding behind them and looking over. In a mocking tone, one of them said, "You came here. Let me guess, did Qi Hua lose?"
Xiang Chun didn't say anything.
The voice laughed and said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Xiang Chun said, "The situation in the Governor-General is not right now. Teacher is dead, EsGod has entered Auspicious Light City, and the Army of God is colluding with EsGod to build a God Nation. We can't stay in the East Court any longer."
The voice was surprised. "Oh? Is the situation that bad? "
Xiang Chun took two steps forward and looked straight at the monster in the cage. "That's why I need Martial Uncle's help. As long as Martial Uncle is willing to swear an oath to protect Xuanfu for a period of time, I can release you."
That voice laughed out loud and said, "Actually, among Senior Martial Brother Qi's disciples, the one with the highest talent is Ying Fu, the most pedantic is Chen Song, and the one with the most brains is Dou Chang. However, the one with the most flexibility, the one who can be the most ruthless and decisive at a critical moment is actually your Martial Nephew Xiang. I promise you. "
In the manor, Duke Mu Yao Hongyi handed a letter to an attendant, who then passed it to Governor Yang Jue's desk.
Yao Hongyi looked at the little boy on the stage who picked up the invitation and then looked at Yang Jian, who was standing at the side, holding his saber and glaring at him. He smiled faintly and sat down again.
After reading the contents, Yang Jue's little face was full of panic and unease. "I want to see Teacher."
Yao Hongyi said unhurriedly, "Duke Yao's residence is no longer the Duke Mu's residence. There's no need to trouble him with this matter."
Yang Jue said again, "I want to see Uncle."
Yao Hongyi said, "Commandant An is busy right now. Moreover, the commandant has always said that he is a man of martial arts. He has never interfered in the matters of the prefectures. Governor, please don't make things difficult for him." At this point, he added, "Governor, please sign the invitation."
Yang Jue's little face shook repeatedly. "I can't sign it."
Yao Hongyi's tone became serious. "Governor, everyone is waiting for you to make a decision. You must sign it today, and you don't need to wait. No one will come to help you."
Yang Jue glanced at the entrance to the inner hall. All of the manor's guards had disappeared, replaced by two expressionless Army of God. He lowered his head and said after a while, "I need to think about it."
Yao Hongyi looked at him for a moment, then smiled and said, "Governor, please think about it carefully." He stood up, straightened his robes, then turned and walked out. After he left, the two doors slammed shut, but the two Army of God continued to stand guard.
At this time, Yang Jue carefully tugged at Yang Ying, who was still angry. She picked up a brush and wrote on a piece of paper. "Sister, quickly go through the underground tunnel and find Teacher Yao. You also need to find Xuanfu's Manager Xiang."
Yang Ying's eyes lit up. That's right, there was still the underground tunnel. She picked up a brush and wrote, "Why don't you go look for Uncle?"
Yang Jue shook her head and wrote, "Uncle must be under their control. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to get in."
Yang Ying then wrote, "But if I leave, what will you do?"
Yang Jue wrote, "They still have a use for me. They won't dare to do anything to me."
Just as the two of them were discussing this, the doors suddenly creaked open from the outside. Soon after, a thin elder walked in with Wang Gong at his side. He looked warily at the Army of God soldiers on both sides.
Yang Jue's eyes lit up. "Teacher Yao?" She came down from the stage and ran over to greet him.
Teacher Yao came forward and bowed. "Governor."
Yao Mugong stood at the door and sighed. "Eldest brother, why did you have to get involved in this mess?"
Teacher Yao looked at him calmly and said, "Isn't this what you wanted to see?"
Yao Mugong chuckled and stroked his beard. "It's good that you're here. I hope you can persuade the Governor to recognize the situation and sign the letter as soon as possible."
Teacher Yao looked at him and said, "If you want the Governor to sign the letter, then the Governor must understand the situation inside and outside the residence." He raised a hand and bowed. "I would like to ask Yao Mugong to invite Liu Guanggong over. We would like to ask him a few questions in person."
Yao Mugong did not refuse this time. He waved his hand and gestured for his subordinates to make the arrangements. After looking at them a few more times, he walked out.
Not long after, Liu Fengquan arrived. After greeting everyone, he sat there expressionlessly. One could see that there were many white strands in his originally black hair.
Teacher Yao waited for the door to close again before looking at Wang Gong. The latter said, "Teacher, don't worry. With me here, the outside won't be able to hear anything."
Only then did Teacher Yao look at Liu Fengquan. He did not blame or question him. Instead, he said, "How's the situation in the Protectorate General's residence now?"
Liu Fengquan looked a little tired and sighed. "It's very bad. A dozen EsGods have appeared in the north, and there are tens of thousands of natives. Their momentum is even fiercer than before, and I don't know if we can stop them. In the south, EsGods are attacking the garrison towns, and a few towns have already been broken through. Now that the orders from the Governing Bureau are not out of Auspicious Light City, I can no longer transfer resources to support them."
Teacher Yao said, "So, what Yao Hongyi said is true?"
Liu Fengquan said, "It's true."
Teacher Yao sighed. This situation was indeed dangerous.
Yang Ying anxiously asked, "What about Mister Zhang? And Xuanfu? "
Wang Gong took out a letter and handed it over. "This is a letter from Xiang Chun to the Viceroy."
Yang Jue immediately took it, but after reading it, his little face turned pale.
Teacher Yao thought for a while and took a look. He also shook his head and sighed.
This was a letter written by Xiang Chun himself. It said that the previous Head of the Xuan Department, Qi Huan, had died in a duel with the Army of God this morning. Xiang Chun had succeeded the position of Head of the Xuan Department and had decided to lead Xuanfu to the outer seas. They would no longer contribute to the Protectorate General's residence in the future.
Wang Gong said, "The Mister Zhang that Wei Wei mentioned is Junior Brother Zhang, right? He was sent out by Xiang Chun a month ago and has yet to return. However, even if Junior Brother Zhang is here, he won't be able to do anything. "
Yang Jue's little face turned pale, and he looked helplessly at Teacher Yao. "Teacher, then, then what should I do?"
Teacher Yao did not speak.
Now that the five thousand Guards in the city had been disarmed by the Army of God, and Xuanfu, who had extraordinary power, had announced their separation from the Protectorate General. It could be said that they were controlled from the inside out by EsGod and the Army of God. To be honest, he could not think of a way to turn the situation around.
This was a dead end.
Liu Fengquan said dejectedly, "There's no way, there's no way."
"No, there's still a way."
Everyone turned to look and realized that the person who spoke was actually Yang Ying. However, they also realized that Yang Ying was not as simple as she usually was. She had become mysterious, dignified, and inviolable.
Yang Jue pointed at her and stood up. "You're not Sister."
Teacher Yao was still calm and asked, "Who are you?"
Yang Ying said calmly, "My name is Ya Qiu."
Teacher Yao was stunned and hesitated. "Goddess Ya Qiu?"
Yang Ying nodded. "Yes."
Teacher Yao revealed a look of surprise. As a descendant of the Yao family, he naturally knew who Goddess Ya Qiu was. This was the goddess who lived on Mount Beggis and was also the only powerful EsGod who had helped the Protectorate General's army back then.
In order to commemorate her, Mount Beggis still used its original name and had not changed its name.
Yang Jue also asked, "Where's my sister?"
Goddess Ya Qiu looked at him with a gentle gaze and said, "She's fine. She's sleeping now. Trust me, I won't cause any harm to her."
Wang Gong was on guard. "Goddess Ya Qiu, why are you here?"
Goddess Ya Qiu said seriously, "I swore in front of Yang Gong that as his wife, I would protect his descendants. Furthermore, they can all be considered my children."
Everyone present was stunned.
Teacher Yao thought for a moment and said, "Governor Yang Gong? But I remember that Governor Yang Gong's wife was a female chief of the Anren tribe. "
Goddess Ya Qiu nodded. "Yes, that's my human body."
Teacher Yao thought for a moment and chose to believe her for the time being. At this point, there was no need for the other party to use such words to deceive them. He asked cautiously, "Goddess Ya Qiu, you just said that there's another way. What is it?"
Goddess Ya Qiu looked at everyone and said, "My suggestion is to light the beacon fire of Tianxia."
