Fang Qian, a mere provincial governor of Youzhou Province, had provoked Immortals Gathering Tower time and time again. In Liu Jinghua's heart, he had long regarded the reckless and audacious Fang Qian as a dead man.
Although Li Er indeed lived in the Immortals 'Gathering Tower, he could not admit it just like that. After all, fishing boats were still very important. If this matter affected the reputation of the Immortals' Gathering Tower, it would really be a loss.
Therefore, Liu Jinghua did not know anything about the provincial governor Fang Qian's questioning. He said with a confused expression.
"Provincial Governor, what are you talking about? How could our Immortals Gathering Tower possibly harbor a fugitive? This is truly ridiculous. Please be careful with your words, Provincial Governor. You must know that trouble comes from the mouth. The reputation of Immortals Gathering Tower cannot be tarnished by others.”
When Provincial Governor Fang Qian heard this, he was so angry that his nose was crooked. He did not expect Liu Jinghua to refuse to admit it. Not only that, but he also secretly threatened him. He was really angry.
"Presumptuous. Since I dare to say it, I must have obtained conclusive evidence. How can I allow you to quibble? Didn't you say you didn't know? Didn't you say that Immortals Gathering Tower didn't harbor the fugitive Li Er? Alright, I'll know once I search.”
"Yes!" The soldiers said in unison, their voices resounding through the clouds and deafening. Even Liu Jinghua was a little afraid of such a huge commotion.
"Go and search carefully. I want to see if the fugitive Li Er is hiding in the Immortal Gathering Tower.”Provincial Governor Fang Qian said coldly.
Liu Jinghua was helpless against the search of the soldiers. After all, apart from the background of the Immortals 'Gathering Tower, it was just a multi-functional restaurant. It was fine against the forces of the martial world, but against the army, it would definitely lose.
Even if he was a first-class master, even if the weakest waiter in the shop was a third-class master, so what? Against the army, even a pile of people could kill them.
Moreover, if they resisted, the matter would be blown up. Attacking the army and the government was the same as treason! Even if the Emperor doted on you, Prince Xiang Wu Zaisi, he couldn't bear such a crime!
Just as Liu Jinghua was at a loss, Provincial Governor Fang Qian was feeling smug, and the soldiers were about to rush in to search, a person suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"Today, let's see who dares to touch the Immortals Gathering Tower.”Liu Jinghua's eyes lit up when he saw the person who had come. He thought to himself that there was finally hope. They were finally out.
"Ha, this provincial governor wants to see who dares to be so arrogant and dare to stop this official. Tell me who you are!”Fang Qian said arrogantly.
"I am the Marquis of Baiyun, Ye Gucheng, who was personally conferred by His Majesty the Emperor. What, does the Provincial Governor still want to attack me?”Ye Gucheng said as he showed his token in front of everyone.
After confirming the authenticity, Provincial Governor Fang Qian was shocked. He had originally planned to take advantage of the fact that the people were unprepared and use his power to suppress them, forcefully taking down the Immortals Gathering Tower and capturing the fugitive Li Er. He did not expect that a Marquis would actually jump out in the middle. This time, things were a little tricky.
The situation was in a stalemate. Without the order of Provincial Governor Fang Qian, none of the soldiers dared to move. Liu Jinghua was even more eager to do so.
Sima Wu Yizhi of the Five Cities Military Department quietly came to the provincial governor Fang Qian's side and whispered in his ear," Sir, things have come to this. There's no turning back. You can only be tough to the end and capture the fugitive Li Er. Otherwise, you will definitely die!"”
Sima Wu Yizhi's words reminded Provincial Governor Fang Qian. Fang Qian immediately said," Men, capture this Marquis of White Cloud, Ye Gucheng, who is secretly colluding with Immortals Gathering Tower.”
"The rest of you, search for me. No matter what, you must find the fugitive Li Er today. If anyone tries to stop you, capture them all.”Fang Qian could be said to be staking everything on this.
After receiving the order from Provincial Governor Fang Qian, the soldiers were just about to take action. Ye Gucheng's hand was already on the hilt of his sword. Just as Di Renjie was about to step forward, a fast horse galloped over.
"Reporting, reporting to the provincial governor, the Thousand Ox Guard's great general Yue Fei has led his subordinates to Youzhou City.”
After hearing the scout's words and looking at the people who were ready to fight, the Youzhou Provincial Governor Fang Qian waved his hand and turned his horse around to welcome the Thousand Bull Guard General Yue Fei.
Marquis Baiyun, Ye Gucheng, could be unyielding. He could also be unyielding in a branch of the Immortal Gathering Tower. However, he could not be unyielding in front of the mighty Thousand Bull Guard General Yue Fei.
If he was blamed by Yue Fei for not welcoming him, even if he was taken down as the provincial governor on the spot, no one would dare to say anything. After all, the Thousand Bull Guards were the imperial guards, and the general of the Thousand Bull Guards was the emperor's confidant.
When Sima Wu Yizhi of the Five Cities Military Department saw this, he knew that he would not be able to search Immortals Gathering Tower today. He sighed helplessly and said," Retreat, retreat, quickly retreat."”
The farce ended just like that. However, Fang Qian did not expect that the Lord of White Cloud City, Sword Saint Ye Gucheng, had already remembered him deeply. His sword was already thirsty.
Di Renjie chuckled after watching the show for free." Jinghui, the show is over. Let's go!" The Great General is your superior. If he's here, you'll definitely have to welcome him. Let's go, Jinghui.”
