Feng Wushuang glanced at the corpses on the ground and turned to leave.
"Young Master, they are all dead," Feng Wushuang said as he approached Qin Feng, bowing respectfully.
Qin Feng nodded. "Then let's head into the city."
Feng Wushuang ordered his men to drag away the bodies and continued walking beside the Ox Cart towards the city.
Meanwhile, inside the Yamen, Fu Zun, dressed in his official robe, was sweating profusely with anxiety.
"My lord, it's bad! A fight has broken out!" someone rushed in, breathless.
Fu Zun trembled at the news and quickly asked, "Is it true? What’s the situation?"
The messenger's face was pale. "They’re all dead... all of them."
"Be clear! Is it Zhuangyuan who is dead?" Fu Zun pressed, growing more anxious.
"No, no! It’s the newly arrived Du Wei and his soldiers—all dead."
"What?" Fu Zun shouted in disbelief, staring at the man. "How is that possible? Du Wei is a strong warrior from Jin Jing!"
"And those soldiers were elite troops; how could they be completely wiped out?"
"My lord, it's true. Zhuangyuan's subordinates are all female soldiers, even stronger than Du Wei's men."
"Zhuangyuan has entered the city now; you should think about what to do next," the messenger said, worry etched on his face.
Fu Zun was taken aback and began to panic. "Quickly, come with me to welcome the Newly Crowned Scholar!"
At that moment, Fu Zun felt fear creeping in. He had only recently taken office and had received a secret edict from the emperor ordering him to cooperate unconditionally with Du Wei. He had just learned that Du Wei intended to close the city gates and kill the Newly Crowned Scholar.
Who could have predicted that Qin Feng would emerge victorious? If he dared to kill Du Wei, what would stop him from killing Fu Zun as well? That would be an unjust death.
Qin Feng looked at the quiet streets and noticed many eyes peering anxiously from within the houses on either side. It was clear that Du Wei had sealed off the entire city in advance.
Footsteps echoed from afar, drawing everyone's attention. A Zhong Ren in an official robe came running towards them, drenched in sweat, followed by several Yard Guards.
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes and signaled Old Black Bull to stop.
Fu Zun saw Qin Feng standing on the Ox Cart and glanced at the indifferent Feng Wushuang. He quickly clasped his hands together and said, "It is truly an honor for me that the Newly Crowned Scholar has come to my Beichuan Prefecture."
Qin Feng looked at Fu Zun, noticing the sweat beading on his forehead. "Are you also here to kill me?" he asked flatly.
Fu Zun's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly replied, "No, no! You misunderstand." He quickly added, "That was all Du Wei's decision; it has nothing to do with me."
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow. "You really had no idea?"
Fu Zun was taken aback, his face paling slightly. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "I had no choice. His Majesty issued a secret decree for me to cooperate with Du Wei." He felt helpless; he too was puzzled as to why the Emperor wanted to deal with Qin Feng in this manner. If they truly wanted him dead, wouldn’t it be easier to just imprison him in the capital?
He wasn't foolish; he considered the possibility that the Emperor had some reservations. As for what those reservations were, he didn't know and didn't want to know. The only thing he understood was that he couldn't afford to provoke anyone involved.
This urgency was why he had rushed over and lowered himself so much.
Qin Feng glanced at Fu Zun but had no intention of making things difficult for him. "Is that so? Then if I kill Du Wei, you won't try to capture me?"
Fu Zun was stunned for a moment before quickly responding, "But wasn't Du Wei killed by monsters? What does that have to do with you?"
Qin Feng chuckled softly. "You really are an interesting person. Is that so? Yes, it is indeed like that. The monsters from the Ten Thousand Great Mountains have come rampaging through the North. Du Wei fought a great battle against them but lost his entire army. Those damned monsters..." Fu Zun cursed angrily.
Feng Wushuang looked at Fu Zun with a strange expression. If it weren't for the fact that Du Wei had died by his own hand, she might have actually believed him.
