449: To serve as a warning to others

Qin Shilei glanced at Mu Feng and said indifferently, “Let’s go, we’ll go down and find Lu Tian罡. Let’s see what reason you have to accuse us of being spies in front of him.”

“Hmph.” Mu Feng snorted, “You don’t need to use City Lord Lu to pressure me. If I say you are spies, then you are spies.”

The young man beside him also sneered, “Our Boss Mu is a capable subordinate of Qin An King, and he made great contributions in subduing Dujiang City for Qin An King. Even City Lord Lu has to be respectful to our Boss Mu. You three, who knows where you came from, still want to scare us with City Lord Lu’s name, you’ve probably chosen the wrong targets.”

Mu Feng listened to his subordinate’s flattery with a smug look.

However, he saw that Qin Shilei and the others showed no reverence at all.

Angered, he immediately ordered, “Since they are spies, take them down and send them to my mansion so I can interrogate them thoroughly myself.”

Upon hearing this, his more than ten subordinates immediately used their respective control methods and attacked Qin Shilei and the others.

Qin Shilei waved his hand, and those vines and Freezing Balls instantly vanished like bubbles.

Mu Feng’s pupils constricted, and he had a bad feeling.

He turned around, intending to fly towards the City Lord’s Mansion.

“Zhang Xiaoli, tie them all up.”

Countless vines, as thick as a baby’s arm, rapidly flew from Zhang Xiaoli’s hand towards Mu Feng and the others.

In the blink of an eye, they were all tied up tightly.

“Take them with us and go find Lu Tian罡.”

Qin Shilei turned and flew towards the City Lord’s Mansion in the distance.

Zhang Xiaoli controlled the vines to bring Mu Feng and the others, and An Qian and the others also followed.

Soon, they flew near the City Lord’s Mansion.

At this moment, a young man with a buzz cut flew up from the City Lord’s Mansion.

“Commander Qi, help!” Mu Feng shouted from afar.

Commander Qi, the young man with the buzz cut, also noticed Mu Feng and the others tied up by vines.

His face turned cold, and he sternly shouted, “How dare you offend those from Qin An Royal Mansion!

Release Military Chief Mu immediately, and then come before our City Lord to beg for forgiveness, and perhaps your life might be spared.”

Qin Shilei sneered, “Aren’t you going to ask why I captured them?”

“Does that matter? Those who dare to offend Qin An Royal Mansion will be severely punished,” Commander Qi said with a sharp expression.

Qin Shilei wasn't particularly repulsed by this assertive attitude, but he felt that being so indiscriminate was a bit excessive.

Mu Feng again falsely accused, “These few people are spies sent by a hidden organization to gather intelligence. Quickly notify the City Lord to arrest them all.”

Upon hearing this, Commander Qi immediately roared, attempting to notify Lu Tian罡 and the others in the City Lord’s Mansion.

“Tie him up too, let’s go down.” Qin Shilei was the first to fly down towards the City Lord’s Mansion below.

Just then, several figures flew up from the City Lord’s Mansion below.

The first one was Lu Tian罡. He immediately saw Mu Feng and the others tied up by vines and was about to rescue them.

He suddenly felt that these vines were somewhat familiar, so he looked up at the three women on the back of the giant eagle.

Although An Qian and the others wore veils, he still recognized the three women.

Lu Tian罡’s heart tightened, and he quickly stopped his subordinates’ actions and words.

He bowed and saluted, “I didn’t know the three madams were visiting. I apologize for my rudeness!”

The three women, An Qian, nodded slightly and followed Qin Shilei down to the City Lord’s Mansion.

Lu Tian罡 looked at Qin Shilei’s completely unfamiliar appearance with some doubt, but his body unconsciously moved aside.

When Mu Feng saw that Lu Tian罡 not only didn’t rescue him but was instead respectful to An Qian and the others, he immediately shouted in dissatisfaction, “City Lord Lu, they are enemies! Why are you bowing to them? Is this appropriate?”

As he was shouting, everyone had already entered the main hall of the City Lord’s Mansion.

Qin Shilei and the four, An Qian, sat expressionlessly in the main seats.

“I understand now, so they are the foreign enemies you, Lu Tian罡, colluded with.”

Mu Feng loudly denounced, “I can’t believe you dared to betray Qin An King! Are you worthy of His Majesty’s trust in you?”

“Shut up!” Lu Tian罡 glared at Mu Feng, “My loyalty to Qin An King is evident to the sun and moon; I will never betray His Majesty.”

“Then why don’t you quickly take them down?”

Mu Feng threatened, “I just secretly informed His Majesty. With my standing in Qin An King’s heart, His Majesty will arrive very soon. By then, none of you will be able to escape.”

Qin Shilei raised his hand and removed the Faceless Mask from his face, instantly restoring his original appearance.

Mu Feng was stunned at the sight.

He never imagined that he would actually set his sights on his greatest backer.

He really deserved what he got!

Lu Tian罡 quickly bowed and saluted, “Greetings, Your Majesty!”

Qin Shilei asked coldly, “Lu Tian罡, did you know about Mu Feng’s outrageous behavior in the city?”

Lu Tian罡 said remorsefully, “This subordinate was negligent in managing and failed to discover and stop their evil deeds.”

At this moment, Mu Feng finally came to his senses and greeted respectfully, “Greetings, Your Majesty and the three Madams. This humble one was momentarily blind and failed to recognize you, committing a slight offense. I hope Your Majesty will pardon me.”

“Still trying to quibble.”

An Qian said coldly, “Don’t tell me you think we don’t know about your lustful intentions?

Looking at your familiar routine, I’m afraid this isn’t the first time you’ve done something like this, is it?”

“It’s a false accusation!”

Mu Feng continued to argue, “We truly thought you were spies, which is why we offended you. We hope, Madams, that you will spare our lives for our loyalty to Qin An Royal Mansion.”

Qin Shilei’s eyes instantly turned a mesmerizing purple, and he cast an illusion to control Mu Feng.

“Lu Tian罡, have someone interrogate them thoroughly about their evil deeds, and then execute them publicly. All of this must also be recorded on video and posted on the chat channel, as a Deterrence.”

“Understood!” Lu Tian罡 responded shamefully.

Qin Shilei then took out a sound transmission talisman and notified Tan Anguo that a conduct education and rectification would be carried out within the jurisdiction of Qin An Royal Mansion.

Afterward, they stayed in Dujiang City for half a day, inquired about relevant matters in Dujiang City, and refreshed and fixed the entries for Dujiang City and a part of the elites.

With the evening glow behind them, the four once again flew towards Changzhou City.

“If we expose Mu Feng’s evil deeds now, others might become vigilant, and it will probably be even harder to catch those who commit evil,” An Qian said with some regret.

“The evil in people’s hearts cannot be completely eradicated. We can only make social life within the jurisdiction of Qin An Royal Mansion more orderly, rather than killing all those who commit evil,” Qin Shilei explained, “Although the survivors of Great Xia have more confidence in the future, no one can guarantee that they can withstand the large-scale invasion of the Other World races three years from now. As a result, some people will indulge themselves and commit various evil deeds.

We can only give them ample confidence and establish sufficient Deterrence to make them dare not easily commit evil.”

An Qian nodded and agreed, “Indeed, we can only strive to improve our strength to cope with future crises, rather than putting our main energy into the management of Qin An Royal Mansion.”

The invasion of the Other World is the greatest enemy of the entire Blue Star!
