"How dare you beat me, the people of Beifeng City! Beat these sons of bitches for me!"

Chu Changning gave the order, and the Zhenbei Army immediately pounced on him like wolves and tigers, easily knocking down more than a dozen soldiers to the ground.

The common people who had been beaten by the soldiers also took the opportunity to retaliate and went back, punching and kicking each other, until more than a dozen soldiers were beaten with blood all over their heads.

Behind him, Chen Zipeng was completely dumbfounded. He never expected that everyone, whether it was the Zhenbei Army or the people of Beifeng City, would be so bad-tempered.

Especially these common people really opened his eyes.

You must know that in every city in Mozhou, the common people are all like little sheep, and most of them swallow their anger even if they are bullied by the soldiers.

As a result, the people of Beifeng City were completely different, not showing any fear at all.

This is naturally related to the fact that Su Yuan is the head of the family. When the people find that no matter the guards, jailers, or officials, they are strict with themselves and abide by the law, they will naturally pick up the lost courage and self-confidence.

Especially when some local hooligans would be caught as long as they bullied others, the common people dared to fight against the bad guys because they knew that the Zhenbei Army and Su Yuan were behind them.

As the saying goes, what is good at the top must be good at the bottom. If the top is messed up, the bottom will definitely not be better. And if the top is clean, the bottom will naturally not be dirty.

Once a trend is formed, people will be easily affected and become part of the trend.

Now Beifeng City is undoubtedly filled with a high-spirited and uplifting atmosphere. It is estimated that the day will not be far away when people will not close their homes at night and not pick up things on the street.

Under such circumstances, if the soldiers brought by Chen Zipeng still want to bully others, they are naturally asking for trouble.

"My lord! Please stop!"

Seeing that the soldiers he had brought with him were all being beaten to death, Chen Zipeng quickly begged Chu Changning.

"Hmph!" Chu Changning snorted coldly and ordered all the soldiers to be taken away. They beat the people for no reason. They were guilty. Even if they were beaten, they had to be locked up.

Chen Zipeng wanted to stop him, but as a Confucian scholar, he really couldn't do anything. He just wanted to wait until he saw Su Yuan before begging for mercy.

"I know who you are."

After all the soldiers were taken away, Chu Changning said to Chen Zipeng.

"He's from the Prefectural Mufu's Mansion. He wants to see our prince, right?"

"Exactly."

"they……"

Chu Changning glanced at the women covered in black scarves.

Chen Zipeng smiled and said: "They are the gifts that Mr. Zhou Mu asked me to bring to King Zhenbei."

Chu Changning snorted coldly, showing disdain, but didn't say anything.

He asked Chen Zipeng and others to go with him to Zhenbei Palace. When they came to the gate of the palace, he went into the palace first to report the matter to Su Yuan.

"State Shepherd? Gift?"

After Su Yuan heard what Chu Changning said, he also wanted to know what Xu Yichuan meant.

To be honest, he has already planned to capture the entire Mozhou.

And whether Xu Yichuan agrees or not, he will take it down... Now Xu Yichuan sends people to deliver gifts, does he want to delay? Or does he simply feel that he can't beat him and want to surrender directly?

Su Yuan thought it was possible, so he asked someone to bring Chen Zipeng to the living room.

Chen Zipeng followed the guards and as soon as he entered the palace, he felt like the patriarchs of the five major families in the past. The palace was extremely guarded.

He couldn't help but compare Xu Yichuan's Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion with Su Yuan's Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. In comparison, the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion, which already had many guards, was as undefended as a street where people could come and go.

No wonder the Yunshan Sect’s assassination failed...

When Chen Zipeng thought about this, he felt that it was reasonable and reasonable. With such strict security, even if the martial arts masters came, they would still fall into trouble.

Arriving at the living room, Su Yuan was already waiting here.

The smile on Chen Zipeng's face froze when he saw the plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums behind Su Yuan.

Su Yuan already has four such beautiful maids? Then the dancing girl as a gift... I'm afraid it's not that valuable...

"What do you call me?" Su Yuan sat at the top, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and asked first.

Chen Zipeng immediately raised his hands and saluted: "This little man, Chen Zipeng, is an aide of Zuo Zhi under Mr. Xu, the governor of Mozhou. He has met Prince Zhenbei."

Su Yuandao: "I wonder what Mr. Xu's staff has to do in our Beifeng City."

"Your Majesty admires the prince's style and has specially ordered me to bring you a letter and a small gift."

Chen Zipeng took out Xu Yichuan's autographed letter from his arms, and then asked Chu Changning if he could let the dancers in.

Wu Ji had been inspected before and did not carry weapons, so Chu Changning agreed.

More than a dozen women came in one after another and stood side by side, looking down at the tips of their toes.

Su Yuan glanced at them, opened the letter and checked it.

In the letter, Xu Yichuan wrote that he and Su Tufeng, the king of the old town north, had been friends for many years, and that he deeply regretted what happened to him. He also said that he hoped to have a long-lasting friendship with Su Yuan and become a lifelong friend.

Su Yuan saw that they were just empty words and contained little practical information, so he read the letter and put it away.

He raised his chin towards the women: "What does this mean?"

Chen Zipeng smiled and said: "This is a small gift from Mr. Xu to the prince. It is a dancing girl bought from Beirong with a lot of money." As he said, he turned to the women and said, "Take off the scarf!"

Hearing this, one of the women whispered something in Beirong dialect to the other companions, and then they all took off their headscarves together, revealing a beautiful face with Zhang Beirong's obvious features.

"They are all dancers trained by some nobles in Beirong. Mr. Xu thinks that you, the prince, will definitely like them." Chen Zipeng said, clapped his hands and asked the dancers to perform.

Just as they were about to dance, Su Yuan raised his hand and said, "No need."

Chen Zipeng was a little surprised: "My lord, you... don't like it?"

Su Yuandao: "No, I like it very much. Just stay."

"That's good!" Chen Zipeng suddenly beamed when he heard this.

He was really worried that Su Yuan would not accept it. In that case, his mission would be considered a failure.

It should be noted that only by gaining Su Yuan's favor first can he be paralyzed so that he will not take any action in Mozhou in the near future.

However, what he didn't expect was that the next moment Su Yuan said something that he didn't expect.

"Counsel Chen, let me ask Xu Zhoumu, are you willing to surrender to me?"

"..."

Chen Zipeng choked on all his words.

He never expected that Su Yuan would suddenly say something like this.

"Your Majesty, what you said is..."

"Counsel Chen, I don't want to ask you to do Tai Chi." Su Yuan put down his tea cup and said calmly, "Our army in Zhenbei has tens of thousands of cavalry, and the troops are at the forefront. Every city in Mozhou is bound to be conquered. Let me tell you straight now, if Xuzhou Mu Shixiang

, if you surrender the city early, you can avoid a lot of catastrophe."

Cold sweat broke out on Chen Zipeng's forehead. He thought for a moment and replied slightly forcefully: "Prince Su! Your words are a bit exaggerated... Although Mozhou has a small population, the city is strong and the swords are sharp, and there are more than ten soldiers in the government.

It’s so huge. It’s inappropriate for you to look down upon it so much!”

Su Yuan looked at him for a while, then suddenly smiled and stood up.

"Staff Chen is coming with me."

"Where will the prince take the villain?" Chen Zipeng was worried. He knew that although Su Yuan was young, he was extremely ruthless in his attacks.

The Yunshan sect was destroyed, all five major families were beheaded, and Gongsun Kuo was executed by Ling Chi... He knew all these things, and he was inevitably afraid of Su Yuan.

He thought, no matter how cruel Su Yuan was, he wouldn't attack him who came to give gifts, right?

"Don't worry." As if he could tell that Chen Zipeng was afraid of coming, Su Yuan reassured him.
