After hearing her subordinate's words, Jin Mulan's expression turned even uglier. She sat on the chair and pondered for a while before finally speaking.
"We still have to kill the Bloody Massacre Master, Ximen Chuixue. Although Xiao Qingfang was heartless first, as a member of the Snake Spirit, if we don't act, it'll be easy for others to use us. Xiao Qingfang is constantly thinking about how to reach into Youzhou and not let her succeed.”
"Once we don't make a move, Xiao Qingfang can use this matter to make things difficult for us. Now is not the time to fall out with her. However, we can't let her be a saber user.
"Pass down the order to gather all the people in Youzhou who are loyal to the Snake Spirit. This time, let them test the power of the Bloody Massacre Lord, Ximen Chuixue! "As for us, we'll just put on an act. If Ximen Chuixue really can't withstand a single blow, then we'll just kill him. If his martial arts are strong, then we'll just secretly retreat.”
Jin Mulan's methods were indeed brilliant. Even Xiao Qingfang could not find any evidence against her. Her trusted subordinate hesitated for a moment and said," General, do we need to mobilize the troops of Youzhou?”
As soon as he said this, Jin Mulan immediately flew into a rage and angrily rebuked," Bastard! We can't use Youzhou's troops unless we have no other choice. This is our trump card. Besides, the martial world is in the martial world. There's no need to involve them."”
After being scolded by Jin Mulan, his subordinate shrunk his head and said loudly," Yes, I understand.”
In Youzhou, Di Renjie and his group hurried over. After traveling day and night without stopping, they finally arrived at Youzhou. At this moment, Di Renjie was not in the mood to visit in disguise.
There were still three days left before the battle between the Bloody Massacre Lord Ximen Chuixue and the Snake Spirit would begin. He did not have much time left.
Di Renjie led Li Yuanfang and the others straight to the Youzhou Provincial Governor's Mansion. Without saying a word, he directly revealed his identity. The sudden appearance of Di Renjie startled Fang Qian, the Youzhou Provincial Governor.
He knelt on the ground with a thud and respectfully said,"I am Youzhou's governor, Fang Qian. Greetings, Imperial Envoy."”
"Youzhou Provincial Governor Fang Qian, what crime do you deserve?”Di Renjie shouted angrily.
Fang Qian was shocked, but his face remained expressionless as he said,"Since I took office, I have been conscientious and diligent. I don't know why the imperial envoy said this!"”
Di Renjie snorted and said rudely," Three days later, the Master of Bloody Massacre, Ximen Chuixue, will fight with the Snake Spirits outside Youzhou City. As the Youzhou Provincial Governor, don't you know that a large number of Jianghu people have poured into Youzhou recently?”
"I know, but these martial artists are the same as ordinary people. They're all citizens of the Great Zhou. I'm stupid, so I'd like to ask you to explain.”Fang Qian asked in confusion.
Di Renjie shouted," Bastard, don't you know that martial arts is against the law? With so many Jianghu people pouring into Youzhou Province, a slight carelessness would cause trouble. As the Provincial Governor of Youzhou Province, you turned a deaf ear to them. What crime do you deserve?”
Although Fang Qian felt that Di Renjie's words were a little unreasonable and overbearing, so what? He was an imperial envoy, not someone a small Youzhou Provincial Governor like him could afford to offend.
Wiping away the cold sweat on his forehead, Fang Qian carefully said," I deserve to die. I deserve to die. Please rest assured, sir. I will send people to closely monitor them. If there is any unusual movement, they will be immediately arrested."”
Di Renjie nodded and said," There's no need for that. The most important thing now is to capture the Bloody Massacre Lord, Ximen Chuixue, and the Snake Spirits in one fell swoop. Both sides have shown such contempt for the court and are lawless. They must be arrested."”
Fang Qian was in a dilemma. He had just received news from the higher-ups not long ago, telling him to watch from the sidelines. Now, Di Renjie had asked him to arrest the Bloody Massacre Lord, Ximen Chuixue, and the Snake Spirit. He was really in a dilemma!
After hesitating for a moment, Fang Qian said helplessly," Elder Di, I didn't arrest them. I really can't do anything!"”
"Oh, Lord Fang, where do you come from?”Di Renjie asked in surprise.
Fang Qian cupped his hands and said," Sir, you are wise. Youzhou is located at the border. Although there are many soldiers in the city, most of them are used to guard against the enemy's invasion. As a result, the soldiers can't help but be stretched thin!”
"As for the Bloody Massacre Lord, Ximen Chuixue, and the Snake Spirit, they're all first-class ruthless characters. If we don't have enough troops, we won't be able to take them down at all. Not only that, but we'll also die in vain!”
"Your Excellency, as the Provincial Governor of Youzhou, I naturally want to capture these rebels. However, as the saying goes, if you don't kill the snake, you will be bitten by it. If these rebels escape, the people of Youzhou will suffer! Therefore, this humble servant didn't do anything. Please investigate!”
Watching Fang Qian's righteous look, even Di Renjie had to admit that Fang Qian was a good official who served the country and the people. Of course, when he saw Fang Qian's real face, he might not say that.
Sighing faintly, Di Renjie said," Lord Fang's words are reasonable. However, this group of traitors must be captured by this pavilion. This pavilion is trusted by His Majesty. How can we watch the traitors in the Great Zhou Dynasty be so impudent? Lord Fang, we need your help in this matter."”
Even though Fang Qian the provincial governor of Youzhou Province wanted to refuse, he didn't have any good excuse; therefore, he just agreed.
