"When did you find out?"
County Magistrate Zhu looked at the corpses of the Southern Xiongnu on the ground and panicked, but he pretended to be calm and asked.
"When I came to find you this morning, I sensed a killing intent in the hall.”
Chu Feng sat back down on the chair and said with a smile as he ate.
The Eighteen Blood Red Cavalry held large blades dripping with blood as they stood guard on both sides.
"Just based on a killing intent?" County Magistrate Zhu was stunned.
Chu Feng shook his head with a smile." Of course, it's impossible to conclude that you'll join forces with the Southern Xiongnu just based on a wave of killing intent. After leaving the county government, I sent people to keep an eye on the county government and discovered that someone had left your residence and gone to the camp of the Southern Xiongnu.”
County Magistrate Zhu suddenly understood, but this explanation was too mysterious for him.
He could even sense killing intent?
At that time, he did not feel any abnormality.
No matter what, his plan had failed.
He looked at Chu Feng and said in a deep voice," I can satisfy you with anything you want, as long as you don't tell anyone about what happened between me and the Southern Xiongnu."”
Chu Feng was instantly amused upon hearing this.
"Zhu Mingting, what do you think I will do after such a thing happened?”
he asked with a smile.
What would he do?
How would I know?
County Magistrate Zhu frowned and looked at Chu Feng. He said in a deep voice,""Just say it. As long as I can do it, I won't refuse.”
"Good!"
Chu Feng leaned back in his chair and drank a mouthful of wine.""Then let's borrow Zhu Mingting's head.”
"You want to kill me?"
County Magistrate Zhu was stunned at first, then he laughed loudly."Chu Feng, I'm an official of the imperial court, a county magistrate personally appointed by His Majesty. You, a commoner, dare to murder an official of the imperial court?”
"I didn't kill him, it was the South Xiongnu.”
Chu Feng pointed at the corpses of the Xiongnu and said with a smile.
County Magistrate Zhu's expression changed abruptly as he instantly understood Chu Feng's plan.
He had wanted to join forces with the Southern Xiongnu to kill Chu Feng, but he hadn't expected Chu Feng to also want to use the Southern Xiongnu to kill him.
"Chu Feng, don't act recklessly."
County Magistrate Zhu panicked.
"I really want to know if you are very famous in front of the South Xiongnu people. Do many South Xiongnu people know you?”Chu Feng asked curiously.
"I only know that Southern Xiongnu who can speak Chinese, and only he knows me.”County Magistrate Zhu said.
"One more question. How did you cooperate with the Southern Xiongnu? Or should I say, how are you going to act after killing me?”Chu Feng asked again.
"Will you let me go if I tell you?" County Magistrate Zhu asked.
"You can try." Chu Feng said with a smile.
County Magistrate Zhu was still hesitating when a man beside him could not help but speak first,"After killing you, my big brother will personally bring your head to the Southern Xiongnu camp and discuss future cooperation with the Southern Xiongnu marshal.”
County Magistrate Zhu roared. This bastard actually betrayed his big brother in order to survive.
The key was that even if he wanted to say it, he should be the one to say it.
Chu Feng's eyes flashed and he asked again,"Why are you cooperating with the Southern Xiongnu? Just to kill me?"”
He was not in a hurry to make a move. He had many questions that he wanted to get answered.
Why did a Great Han official collude with a group of Southern Xiongnu people? This was something that he had never understood.
"Big brother colluded with the Southern Xiongnu to gain merit and promotion.”The man continued.
"Upgrade?"
Chu Feng was somewhat puzzled. He could still ascend by colluding with the Southern Xiongnu? What kind of logic was this?
"As long as the South Xiongnu keep coming into Lian County to plunder, they will be noticed by the imperial court. When the time comes, as long as my big brother leads his troops to battle, the South Xiongnu will take the initiative to retreat.
In this way, the task of defeating the Southern Xiongnu army and protecting the territory of the Great Han would fall on Big Brother.
Over the years, he would be able to accumulate enough battle merits to be promoted.”
Chu Feng's expression sank and the Eighteen Blood Red Cavalry's faces were also filled with rage.
"Just for the sake of promotion, you allowed the South Xiongnu army to enter Lian County and plunder, and allowed the Great Han people to be slaughtered by them?”Chu Feng said coldly.
"They're just a bunch of lowlifes." The man seemed to have forgotten himself.
"Lowly peasants?"
Chu Feng's face was ashen as he pointed at the Eighteen Blood Red Cavalry and said,""They are the lowlifes you speak of.”
The man's expression changed. He realized that he had said the wrong thing, but it was too late.
"Kill them all."
Chu Feng waved his hand.
There was no need for this group of people to exist anymore.
"You said that you would let me go if I told you about my big brother's plan to collude with the Southern Xiongnu. You can't go back on your word.”The man roared.
"When did I say I would let you go?”Chu Feng said indifferently.
The man was stunned. Thinking about it carefully, he didn't seem to have said anything. He was stunned on the spot for a moment, and his expression was ugly.
"Wait, I've already ordered the South Xiongnu to attack your camp outside the city. Only I can stop them now.”
County Magistrate Zhu hurriedly said when he saw Chu Feng raise his hand.
His eyes were filled with anticipation. This might be his only chance to live.
"No need."
Chu Feng smiled indifferently." My cavalry is no longer in the camp.”
Since he knew that County Magistrate Zhu was colluding with the Southern Xiongnu, how could he let his army continue to be stationed there?
"This!"
County Magistrate Zhu was stunned.
All his plans had been seen through by Chu Feng.
That was impossible.
Chu Feng waved his hand.
"Kill them!"
The Eighteen Blood Red Cavalry were already furious. After receiving the order, they rushed out with their sabers. They raised their sabers and slashed down, killing all the officials present.
"Announce that County Magistrate Zhu was assassinated by the Southern Xiongnu at the banquet. As citizens of the Great Han and Lian County, we will avenge County Magistrate Zhu.”
Chu Feng said indifferently.
"Yes!"
Li Lao Er went out.
"Collect the corpses of County Magistrate Zhu and the other Lian County officials. Collect all the corpses of the South Xiongnu people and drag them to the streets outside the residence for the commoners to see.”Chu Feng said again.
"Yes!"
The remaining 17 riders began to move the corpses.
As soon as the announcement was made, the citizens of the county were all shocked.
The county magistrate was actually killed by the South Xiongnu?
Then who would guard the county?
At the same time, they did not believe it. The county had always been heavily guarded. How could the Southern Xiongnu sneak in?
However, when they saw the corpses of the Southern Xiongnu gathered outside the county government, they had no choice but to believe it.
When the 500 soldiers of Lian County heard this announcement, they were furious.
Those damned Southern Xiongnu people actually infiltrated the county government to assassinate the county magistrate. Did they really think that the Great Han and Lian County had no one?
Chu Feng's plan was to use County Magistrate Zhu's death to incite the anger of Lian County's soldiers and civilians.
At this moment, Chu Feng arrived at the military camp.
"Stop, this is an important place in the military camp.”
The guards of the military camp stopped him.
"My name is Chu Feng."
Chu Feng introduced himself." You might be unfamiliar with this name, but you shouldn't be unfamiliar with the Eighteen Blood Cavalry and the Blood Red Iron Cavalry, right? I am their commander."
