C90 Confrontation and Return
The current City Lord's Mansion, Government Office.
The two groups of officials faced off clearly.
The group was led by Yang Dao, who was resting with his eyes closed. More than half of the council hall was filled with officials.
The other faction was led by Lan Zi'ang, Zhao Lang, and only a few officials followed behind them. They were all younger and had less authority.
"Zhao Lang, you said that the Prefecture Lord wanted you to come back and transfer troops, yet he led his men to charge into the Thunder Wu Realm?"
Behind Yang Dao, a middle-aged official stood up and asked aggressively.
"I was only ordered by the Lord Prefect to come back and call for troops. I don't know anything else! When all of you join together to defy the Guardian Order and fail to respect it, do you all want to wait for the Lord Prefect's return before everything is settled?! "
Zhao Lang said harshly, and did not show any weakness as he retorted.
Lan Zi'ang patted Zhao Lang's shoulder to indicate him to calm down.
Then, he coldly looked at Yang Dao and questioned, "Lord Yang, you closed all four doors and exchanged my men. Now, you have joined the officials to directly oppose the Lord Prefect's order. What do you want?"
Yang Dao, who had been silent all this time, was finally willing to open his eyes and slowly opened his mouth: "This Seven Stars City is a commoner's Seven Stars City, not a Seven Stars City of only Lee Shi! I can't just sit by and watch him ruin his seven thousand year old foundation! "
"Oh? You ignore the Palace Lord's order to deploy troops, so you treat Seven Stars City well? "
"Humph!" I, Yang Dao, will absolutely not allow the Manor Lord to bring a good Seven Stars Son to his death! "
At this moment, a bone-chilling voice came from outside the door, "You old man, who are you calling a suicide?"
The entire hall of martial artists was shocked as they looked in disbelief at the slender figure standing at the door.
Lee Shi was still wearing the bright yellow Mystic Armor. The dark black cloak behind him was stained with several bloodstains. His entire body was emitting a murderous aura that had just returned from the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood.
ta ta ta … *
Lee Shi slowly walked into the hall with one kick, each kick felt like he was stepping on the hearts of the officials.
"Plop, plop, plop …"
The closer Lee Shi got, the faster the hearts of the officials jumped.
Lee Shi walked directly in front of Yang Dao and looked at Yang Dao and the group of officials behind him with a fake smile.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are so refined. Why would you come to the Council Hall to quarrel and have fun instead of taking a nap at noon?"
"Lord Prefect!" Zhao Lang was overjoyed and complained immediately, "This humble subject was ordered to come back and call for reinforcements, but was stopped by Lord Yang Dao. Lord Lan, he was..."
Lan Zi'ang pulled on Zhao Lang's sleeve, signalling him to stop talking.
Lee Shi's face turned sullen, "Lan Zi'ang, is this how you do things for this family in the long history?!"
"This humble subject's ability is lacking. I've ruined the Prefecture Lord's plans. I hope that Prefecture Lord can punish me!"
Lan Zi'ang knelt on the ground and lowered his head.
Zhao Lang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw Lee Shi's gloomy face, he didn't dare to open his mouth.
The several young officials behind him did not know what Lee Shi was planning to do, so they also remained silent.
On the other side, Yang Dao's eyes darkened slightly as he quietly asked, "Lord Prefect, four thousand five hundred Seven Star Cavalry, where are they now?"
The corner of Lee Shi's mouth hooked up into a thought-provoking smile. He did not answer Yang Dao's question and instead went straight to the throne at the top of the hall. With a flick of his cloak, he sat upright!2
Then, with a face as gloomy as water, he shouted with a stern voice: "Where is the Prefecture Overseer Zhao Yun?!"
"This humble subject is here."
Zhao Yun suddenly flashed out of the hall while dragging a long spear.
Yang Dao's face twitched slightly as he looked at the murderous Zhao Yun. A bad premonition rose in his heart.
