The Chi Xie Marquis, the Chi Xie Officer, how powerful and majestic. Besides, he was making the head of the city come to greet them. They definitely had an extremely high social status.
So that’s how it was, the Chi Xie Marquis was the owner of Yangzhou City, but nobody knew who this person was.
The crowd felt a bit relieved, since the fief of Yangzhou City belonged to the Chi Xie Marquis, the army wasn’t going to attack the city. That huge army hadn’t come with malicious intent.
“Go. Quickly bring the head of the city here!” shouted the leader of the guards, on the top of the gate, to one guard who wasn’t moving. That person nodded and abruptly left in the direction of the government. He hadn’t clearly heard the words of the Chi Xie soldiers though, he had only heard when he was told to bring the head of the city to greet them.
The government was a huge and vast place. There were tables everywhere. The head of the city, Na Lan Xiong had organized an annual banquet to which many wealthy and noble cultivators were participating. He hadn’t invited the Lin Clan but the atmosphere was pleasant and lively
At that moment, many people were proposing toasts. It seemed that Na Lan Xiong was extremely proud because of his new son-in-law and he was so excited that he was unceasingly drinking.
“Master, master!”
At that moment, a worried voice spread in the air interrupting the crowd. Na Lan Xiong frowned and looked at the distance seeing a guard worriedly and hastily rushing over to him.
“A huge army is outside the city and we don’t know who they are and what they are doing here.” said the guard who was uninterruptedly sweating. The crowd was stupefied, an army had come to the city?
At that moment, another silhouette appeared and was running in their direction.
“Stop!” said Na Lan Xiong. “Are you here because of the army too? What is that army doing right now?”
“They want you to go and greet them.” said the second guard who had arrived. Na Lan Xiong frowned and looked pensive.
“Tell their leader to come here, pay his respects and apologize for his offense.”
At that moment, a cold and detached voice came from the host seat. It was Du Gu Xiao, he was furious and half-drunk already. Surprisingly, there were people who dared disturb him during the banquet and besides that, they also wanted Na Lan Xiong to come and greet them. Since Du Gu Xiao was there, they had to give him face, he was there so no matter who it was, they had to come pay respects and respectfully apologize for offending him.
Many people sighed, he was really worthy of his social status. He was extremely strong. They were all panicking and he, instead, ordered the troublemakers to come and apologize for their offense. Du Gu Xiao was wildly arrogant and presumptuous.
The guards looked petrified and nervous: “But…..”
“There is no but! Tell him to get over here and apologize for his offense. Say that Du Gu Xiao gave the order, otherwise they will regret the consequences.”
Du Gu Xiao stood up and released some cold Qi. His voice was ice-cold as well.
The guard was surprised and blankly staring at Du Gu Xiao. When he saw the coldness in his eyes, he immediately nodded and said: “Roger.”
When they finished talking, the two guards abruptly left.
“Alright, everybody can continue, let’s not let such events ruin our banquet.” said Na Lan Xiong while raising his glass and smiling.
