Supreme Martial Artist - Chapter 228
Chapter 0228 Each of Them Had a Good Plan!
“Young Master, it’s done. I’ve already told them to work overtime to build a brand new Iron Castle on the outskirts of the Snow Mountain. The emperor’s messenger should be arriving soon, but it’s a pity that those members …” The Iron Scepter said with a gloomy expression.
“No problem! Brother Li doesn’t know the loyalty of the Iron Castle disciples. He is willing to help us raise some people. Why not? As long as the location of the headquarters isn’t leaked and the elites aren’t lost, the Iron Castle actually won’t suffer any losses!” Qin Fei laughed.
Zhu Li had a plan, and Qin Fei wasn’t stupid either. He had already thought of a specific way to deal with it, so it wasn’t a big deal if he wanted to go to the Iron Castle.
Tie Castle was not like the Pill Masters Association or Xuanwu Palace. The people of those two organizations were both rookies and old ones, and their loyalty to their organizations was actually not high.
But Iron Castle was completely different, Iron Castle raised the descendants of artificers from hundreds of years ago, Their feelings towards the Iron Castle were far from being comparable to the members of the other two organizations. They regarded the Iron Castle as their home and were constantly struggling to revive the golden age of artifact forging. Even if they were taken over by the royal family, they would definitely not change their minds. This was something the Iron Scepter had repeatedly stressed.
Qin Fei also made a decision that made Zhu Li feel relieved and praised him, He took the Iron Scepter away. After the Iron Castle was taken over by the royal family, Zhu Li would send someone to manage it. As such, Zhu Li would naturally feel that he had found a great advantage. To be honest, Zhu Li was also worried that letting the Iron Scepter continue as the Castle Master would affect his loyalty. He was naturally very happy that the Iron Scepter would no longer participate.
However, he didn’t know that Qin Fei had only sent him a few peripheral members. How could a true Iron Castle elite really give it to him?
The Iron Castle had been hidden for hundreds of years and had rarely appeared in front of the world. Even the royal family was very unfamiliar with the situation in the Iron Castle, so Zhu Li would never guess that Qin Fei had actually laid a hand on him.
Logically speaking, Qin Fei received such a big reward from Zhu Li, So highly valued of him, It should be done wholeheartedly for Zhu Li, but Qin Fei saw everything that happened in the capital and started to change from the bottom of his heart. The brotherhood was still there, and he did not think of betraying his brothers, but Zhu Li was the Emperor, that was different. He could not betray his brothers, but he had to guard against the Emperor!
Who called Zhu Li a dual identity?
Judging from Zhu Li’s attitude towards him, it could be seen that Zhu Li had rewarded him so much because he had contributed to the empire. To ask him to hand over the teleportation array was also for the benefit of the empire, while the bargaining in other places, and even the indulgence in the eyes of the officials, was brotherly affection.
Zhu Li treated him and Lei Zhen from two different perspectives. This caused Qin Fei to feel troubled. He didn’t know how Zhu Li would treat him and Lei Zhen in the future.
Therefore, he had no choice but to take precautions, not against his brothers, but against the emperors!
After leaving the imperial capital, Qin Fei felt much more relaxed. He felt no more pressure and no more social interactions. During the past few months in the imperial capital, he really felt very tired, physically and mentally exhausted.
After returning to North Mysterious City, he prepared for his next move, heading to the other places where the Profound Spirit Cauldron was shattered. There wasn’t much time left, so he couldn’t wait any longer.
A month later, he returned to his long-lost hometown, Beixuan City.
Qin Fei had his troops temporarily stationed outside of Beixuan City. Beixuan City was not his territory now, because he had officially read out his credentials. If he brought so many people into the city, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble. From now on, Beixuan City was his territory, and he didn’t want to cause any damage.
This time, Butler Zhu accompanied him to read the credentials!
Of course, Butler Zhu was no longer a butler of a private courtyard. Instead, he was the chief steward of the imperial palace, with a high status.
Qin Fei decided to bring him into the city to read the credentials to the City Lord first. He did the same all the way. All the prefectures and prefectures he passed along the way did not dare to neglect them after receiving the credentials.
After all, the method of transmitting information in the empire was too old-fashioned. It would often take a long time for an order from the capital to reach every city in the empire.
At the same time, he called Chen Shinan and his apprentices to follow him into the city and bring them to the Qin Clan to stay.
He could ignore the others, but he didn’t want his senior brother and master to suffer outside the city.
At this moment, because of its geographical location, Beixuan City was in the coldest season of the year. Heavy snow covered the ground, and it was so white that no edges could be seen.
Entering the city, he was eager for the Nian Clan, so he brought everyone to the Qin Clan to settle down before heading to the City Lord’s Mansion.
However, when he arrived at the entrance of the Qin Clan, he saw that the manor door was tightly closed, and a striking seal was affixed on it. The manor was actually sealed.
The seal on it belonged to the City Lord’s Mansion, which meant that the Qin Family was sealed by the City Lord’s Mansion.
Qin Fei frowned. He had only been away for a few months now. Why was there someone attacking the Qin Family again?
This was strange. After the Qin Clan’s incident last time, the nearby counties and cities knew that the Qin Clan definitely could not be provoked. Why would anyone dare to attack the Qin Clan?
He couldn’t help but be furious and rushed into the clouds. He strode to the door and prepared to tear off the seal.
Housekeeper Zhu suddenly stopped him and said, “Lord Zhendu, wait a moment! No matter what happens, the seal can’t be torn. It’s best to keep it as evidence!”
Qin Fei withdrew his hand and nodded. Butler Zhu was right. No matter what reason this seal was stuck on, let it stay for the time being!
“Iron Staff, go in and see if there are any Qin Family members inside!” Qin Fei suppressed the anger in his heart and instructed the Iron Staff Guest.
The Iron Scepter nodded and flew up the wall.
Very quickly, he brought out a person who was covered in dirt and trembling beside the Iron Scepter. Qin Fei took a closer look. Wasn’t this the branch Qin Hu?
After their father’s accident last time, the Qin Family branches came back. Qin Fei left the Qin Family’s business to them. Originally, he had thought that with his current influence, no one would harm the Qin Family. However, he did not expect that such a thing would happen within half a year of his departure.
“Qin Hu, what exactly happened? Tell me!” Qin Fei said in a deep voice.
Hearing Qin Fei’s voice, Qin Hu was stunned. He looked at him with a confused expression for a while, then his eyes suddenly lit up. Suddenly, he flew over and grabbed his hand. “Brother Fei, you’re finally back! Quick, go save the clansmen! They were captured by the City Lord and will be beheaded at noon today!”
“Wen Zhan?” Qin Fei was stunned. What was going on so badly that he actually wanted to cut off his head!
“Quickly tell me, what exactly is going on?” Qin Fei said.
“After you leave, The previous City Lord suddenly disappeared, Afterwards, a city lord was directly transferred from the Prefecture City, The name of this city lord was Xue Qing, After arriving at Beixuan City, Seeing that our Qin Family’s business is booming, So he became greedy, First we had to force us to give him 30% of the profits of the business, We bear in mind your instructions, Although he was asking for 30% too much, But it’s a peace of mind, He could only agree, Unexpectedly, he was just an unfed white-eyed wolf. The next month, he changed his tone, 50%, If 50% of the profits were given to him, None of our business can survive, So he didn’t agree, Who knew that the next day, He led the troops and raided all our shops in North Mystery City, “He said that there was an illegal business. In the end, he forcibly seized it and confiscated it. In fact, it fell into his pocket. Our Qin Family went to find the City Lord to argue, but he arrested us for causing trouble. I was lucky enough to escape. I stayed in the tunnels at home and didn’t dare to leave. It’s great that you’re back. You must save them!” Qin Hu said in one breath.
Hearing that, Qin Fei’s eyes turned red. Damn, where did this new City Lord come from? He actually dared to attack the Qin Family and was impatient with his life!
“Let’s go, let’s go to the City Lord’s Mansion!” Qin Fei did not hesitate and immediately called everyone to head towards the City Lord’s Mansion.
Shortly before noon, the square in front of the City Lord’s Mansion was packed with onlookers. On one stage, there were nearly 50 Qin Family members tied up. All of them were covered in black scarves. Beside them stood a burly man with a beheading knife.
In front of the gate of the City Lord’s Mansion, there were many soldiers. A young man in his thirties sat upright on a chair with an arrogant expression. He wore the City Lord’s uniform and was precisely the newly appointed City Lord of Beixuan City, Xue Qing.
