Chapter Five Hundred and Forty Seventh Drama Staged
With extremely complicated feelings, Ma Chengzhu led 3,000 elite soldiers to Fang'e County.
Just three miles away from Fang'e County, he met Elder Jing, one of the nine elders of the Jiuzhou Alliance.
There are nine elders in the Jiuzhou Alliance, and they are named after different ancient Jiuzhou names.
The so-called Elder Jing, his surname is not Jing, but refers to him as the elder of the ancient Jingzhou.
Ancient Jingzhou is also one of the nine continents closest to the Central Plains, and Fang'e County is within the sphere of influence of ancient Jingzhou.
As the steward of the ancient Jingzhou, when Elder Jing heard that Fang'e County had fallen, he couldn't help but tremble with fear, so he brought 2,000 elite soldiers to support him.
Seeing City Lord Ma, Elder Jing just nodded and smiled bitterly, and the two of them had no heart to exchange greetings at this time.
I just thought that they knew each other very well, even if they traveled day and night and arrived in Fang'e County, it was already too late.
All they can do is to make amends and reduce losses as much as possible before the demon world slaughtered the city.
The two of them didn't say more, and went to Fang'e County with 5,000 troops.
Who knew that when they arrived at the gate of Fang'e County, they were all shocked!
This surprise was not a shock, but a surprise.
This is too unusual, isn't it?
Elder Jing and City Lord Ma both thought that they would see a pair of soldiers approaching the city with corpses all over the ground.
But what was waiting for them was... the gate of Fang'e County was full of traffic, as before.
In previous years, only in the harvest season would there be such a lively scene.
They transported the grain from the grain fields, and carts went in and out. Everyone's face was full of peaceful colors, and they didn't look like they were half attacked.
Elder Jing and City Lord Ma were suspicious.
Could it be that the news from the Jiuzhou Alliance was wrong, and the fact that the demon clan attacked was completely non-existent.
The two hurried into the city without stopping, and went straight to the county office in Fang'e County.
When I approached the county office, I saw white lanterns hanging at the entrance of the county office, playing sad music.
Going further inside, you will see more than a dozen thin coffins parked in the county government office.
Ye Lingyue and a group of members of the Huangquan team were wearing sacks and filial piety and burning paper money.
"Ye Lingyue, you! What are you doing?"
City Lord Ma was stunned, and for a while, he even forgot about the festival he had with Ye Lingyue.
"City Master Ma, you are here. I have something important to report to you. Last night, a demon soldier descended from the sky. They raided Fang'e County. Fortunately, we found it in time. Together, we fought bravely to kill the enemy and killed those demon soldiers. Unfortunately, Hall Master Chen, the brothers of the 'Tian Falcon' and the county magistrate unfortunately died in the night attack."
Ye Lingyue wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve and squeezed out a few drops of extremely precious crocodile tears, looking like she was distraught.
The night attack of the demon clan was stopped?
Hearing the news, City Lord Ma and Elder Jing both breathed a sigh of relief.
But immediately after this, the eyelids of the two of them jumped, especially the City Lord Ma reacted.
"Section Master Chen is dead?"
This is very wrong.
The purpose of Hall Master Chen's coming to Fang'e County is clear to City Master Ma.
They got the letter earlier and learned that Ye Lingyue had correspondence with the Yaozu.
And Captain Tian Falcon also secretly reported that Ye Lingyue killed the county magistrate and opened the granary privately.
When Hall Master Chen heard these two news, he was overjoyed. He didn't even have time to report to the Jiuzhou Alliance, so he rushed over to prepare Ye Lingyue to rectify the law on the spot.
"Ye Lingyue, you are clearly arguing. What kind of strength is Hall Master Chen? If even he was killed by the demon clan, why would you and your team members be unharmed."
City Master Ma was so angry that his teeth rattled. He never expected that Hall Master Chen would fall into Ye Lingyue's hands.
"City Lord Ma, what do you mean by this? Are you doubting me? The sky has eyes, of course a few of us are not opponents of the demon clan, and thanks to my ability to speak some bird clan language, go ahead in time of crisis. I begged the Phoenix Tribe of Jiu Nie Mountain and invited the warriors of the Phoenix Tribe to help out.
If you don't believe me, you can just ask the people in the county. They all saw it when the night attacked. "
Ye Lingyue was well prepared, and her answers were fluent.
"Jinie Mountain is indeed inhabited by the Phoenix family, but they have been ignoring world affairs for many years, and it is unexpected that someone would be able to invite them."
Elder Jing was listening, and he couldn't help being secretly surprised, and he glanced at Ye Lingyue a few times.
I thought that the person who was dispatched to a place like Fang'e County must be an inconspicuous person. I didn't expect that the other party actually knew the spiritual words of the bird tribe.
Seeing that Elder Jing believed Ye Lingyue's words, City Lord Ma was even more reluctant to give up.
"Elder Jing. You don't have to listen to this daughter's nonsense. Even if she invites Phoenix warriors, it can't explain everything. I suspect that she has something to do with the deaths of Hall Master Chen and others. Someone secretly reported this earlier. People ignored the obstruction of the county magistrate and privately opened the granary in Fang'e County, resulting in no grains left in the granary. Hall Master Chen knew about this, so he went to Fang'e County to investigate in private. Report it to you and the Jiuzhou League."
City Lord Ma said, paying attention to Ye Lingyue's expression.
The face of the other party really changed slightly.
City Lord Ma saw it in his eyes, and was secretly proud, Ye Lingyue even if you can collude with the Phoenix family, I don't believe that you have the ability to reach the sky, I don't believe that you can return all the food for disaster relief.
"Is it true at this time? If it is true, it must be severely punished. Come on, take me to the granary to see."
When Elder Jing heard this, he was furious and rushed to Beicang.
The granary door of the north warehouse was opened.
Elder Jing looked inside, and his expression changed again.
"Elder Jing, you're right. Ye Lingyue opened the warehouse without authorization, disregarding the supply of thousands of delegations. This person has a good intention and should have been severely punished. As I said, she should be deprived of her and her place. The representative team is qualified to participate in Jiuzhou Wild Hunt this time."
City Lord Ma was on the side, fanning the flames.
Seeing that Elder Jing was motionless, City Master Ma was suspicious and looked into the granary.
With just one glance, Ma Chengzhu's chin almost fell.
What did he see!
The entire granary was full of grain.
No matter the quality or quantity of these grains, there is no problem at all.
Not only this granary, but all the warehouses in the north warehouse are full of grain and grass.
"Elder Jing, this is all the grain tax paid by the 18 villages in Fang'e County in previous years and this year. Compared with previous years, this year has increased by 20%."
Ye Lingyue had been prepared for a long time, and was not afraid of Ma Chengzhu's provocation, so he handed over a few ledgers.
"City Lord Ma, what else do you have to say?"
Elder Jing had a long face, too lazy to pay attention to City Lord Ma.
