The Demon Lords

After Sun Youdao stepped back, the current spokesperson of the Sun Family became his second son, Sun Liang.

It’s not because his eldest son is incapable. In fact, the Wild People’s King knows that Sun Youdao’s eldest son is very capable. When Situ Lei made a desperate attack before his death, the collective outrage among the noble youths in Ying Capital City was incited by Sun Youdao’s eldest son, Sun Ying, behind the scenes.

It’s just that Sun Ying has a leg disability, so it’s inconvenient for him to be the face of the Sun Family.

But even so, the connections are either with Sun Ying’s in-laws, or his wife’s family, or somehow ultimately tied to Sun Ying, the main branch of the Sun Family.

The Wild People’s King touched his chin,

he is skilled in strategy, so he can see that using the imperial exam to place his people is a wasteful move by Sun Ying.

Even after Sun Youdao retires to the back, the influence and status of the Sun Family in Ying Capital City are still significant, so much so that even the Royal Mansion of Prince Cheng has to give them face.

The Sun Family shouldn’t use such a low-level method to place and promote their people.

In other words, there’s no need for the Sun Family to start from scratch; they can directly recruit ready officials in Ying Capital City.

The Wild People’s King suddenly wanted to take out an embroidered shoe to take a sniff, but he resisted the urge.

He slightly raised his head and glanced at the blind man opposite him who was still reviewing documents,

hesitating in his heart.

He certainly knew what the true aim of orchestrating this event was,

There’s no need to touch the major families and powers in Ying Capital City.

But the Wild People’s King was also very troubled,

he needed to find a sense of presence.

Since Lord Zheng brought him out, he had to find a chance to shine, otherwise, he’d either go back to confinement or worse, not even return, with them thinking he’s useless and unsafe, maybe he’d get killed and buried on the road.

This matter,

The Wild People’s King felt that Lord Pingye and Mr. Bei sitting before him could both pull it off.

"Phew..."

The Wild People’s King picked up a writing brush, wrote down the name Sun Ying, and waved his hand, signaling a waiting officer to come forward and take the note.

Then,

The Wild People’s King leaned diagonally on the chair,

resting his head on his hands,

his knuckles kneading the back of his head,

his eyelids blinking continuously,

his heart,

also continuously pounding.

...

If when seeing Liu Chuanyi earlier, Lord Zheng was only pretending to sleep to control the conversation, then afterward, Lord Zheng genuinely fell asleep.

Because the journey was exhausting,

secondly, he hadn’t slept much last night,

Lord Zheng is very health-conscious, and when conditions permit, he won’t be harsh on himself in the least.

An afternoon nap,

that lasted till dusk,

upon waking,

Lord Zheng opened his eyes, stretched lazily, and motioned to a guard beside him to bring him a cup of tea.

These guards are personal soldiers; when Lord Zheng was sleeping, they were protecting him in the back hall.

Clearly, with such significant events happening outside, yet their master remained as immovable as a mountain, earning their deep respect!

Hmm,

Lord Zheng was unaware that even a nap could boost his reputation among his personal guards;

it’s just that when you already idolize someone, no matter what they do, they’ll always seem to have an aura in your eyes.

The tea came,

Lord Zheng sipped it slowly. He usually enjoys tea, but he’s not addicted to it, using it mainly to quench his thirst.

At this moment,

Gao Yi walked quickly into the back hall,

kneeling before Zheng Fan,

"My Lord..."

"How many have been killed?"

Lord Zheng casually lowered his head, continuing to drink tea, not noticing the excitement and reverence that emerged in Gao Yi’s eyes at that moment.

If there are casualties and the incident escalates, a proper attitude is conveyed, and then when he goes to the capital, admits his mistake before the Emperor, and discusses the importance of the imperial examination, the matter would fade away.

The court would also understand his stance and temperament, and they wouldn’t interfere with the governance around Snow Sea Pass, at least not for the short term.

As for the issue of forging a military order in Lord Jingnan’s name,

Zheng Fan believed that Lord Jingnan wouldn’t say anything — his silence would imply consent, which means the military order is legitimate, and he can’t be prosecuted.

For Lord Jingnan’s favoritism towards him, Lord Zheng felt confident.

"My Lord is wise, I am impressed.

A squad of soldiers, when ordered to search Sun Ying’s house, found it harboring many rebels, who attempted to break out when my soldiers entered!

Additionally, while this occurred at Sun Ying’s residence, the original West Gate garrison suddenly mutinied, seemingly trying to aid those inside in escaping from the city. The West Gate has already raised the wolf smoke signal.

Moreover, a Jin defense officer from the City Patrol Office in Ying Capital City suddenly led his men to attack the city’s armory, and the guards there have already sent for reinforcements.

My Lord, there truly are rebels inside Ying Capital City!!"

"..." Zheng Fan.
