The Legend of the Resourceful Princess

Qing Xun's failure would undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the six noble families. The city lord of Peony City would never allow anything to go wrong with him. Even the Royal Family wouldn't allow Peony City to change owners so easily.

Peony City had been in a state of chaos for years. Once something happened in Qing Xun and it really did get out of hand, it would definitely cause a huge commotion in the Yue Empire. This kind of situation was not wise, and the royal family would never do something that would harm others and not benefit themselves. After all … There were also those in the royal family who supported their slavery.

Therefore, nothing would happen to Qing Xun. However, once something was exposed, the real scapegoat for their six great clans would be pushed out. This was what they were most worried about. Thus, at this moment, they were the most flustered.

"Your Highness, do you think they will succeed?" Peach stood by Feng Qing's side, taking up an umbrella for Qing Xun. At this moment, it was too hot, causing Tao Er to unconsciously frown. In order to uphold justice for those people, His Highness had even exposed himself here for so long. If they still failed, then it would truly be an unforgivable crime!

No... It would be best if Mu Ru Yue could die there.

Tao Er's heart was filled with anticipation.

On the other hand, Feng Qing's gaze was indifferent. He could only look at the nobles present, as well as the commoners that she could vaguely see. The faces of these people were brimming with enthusiasm and were cheering. Available... What about underground?

No one was laughing. The smiles of these people were exchanged with the suffering of the slaves.

He didn't know how to feel, nor did he know anything else, but there was one thing that mattered … It's not fair.

If they could exchange for it, they would probably understand the pain of those slaves.

Thinking of this, Feng Qing's expression became even paler. As expected, he didn't like people. Even if he was still human.

The sun shone brightly and everyone was celebrating. However, in this bustling city, the ground suddenly moved.

The earth was shaking, causing those who had been cheering just a second ago to lose their footing and fall to the ground.

Ah!" Not good! The ground moved! "Run!" From the crowd, it was unknown who shouted this, but many people started to run out of the garden. After all, if the earth was moving, people would die if they were in the same place.

"Your Highness, what's going on? Let's go and take refuge first. " Tao Er's face turned ugly. She also knew about the underground slaves. With the current situation, it was likely that Mu Ru Yue and the others had succeeded. Damn it!

"No one is allowed to leave."

Feng Qing's voice was not loud, and it was instantly drowned out by the screams of these people. When Feng Qing saw this, his gaze turned cold. He turned to his side and said, "Yu Wei, help me stop these people."

Upon saying those words, a figure flashed past. At the outer perimeter of the Peony Garden, streaks of blood-red light flashed by.

"Murder!"

The screams came from outside.

There were people killing outside, but they couldn't stay inside either. Everyone was in a state of panic. At this time, the various city lords below Feng Qing also stood up and said: "Your Highness, this matter is too dangerous, I ask that Your Highness retreat first."

"I've already said that no one is allowed to leave."

"Right, Your Highness, let's withdraw …" The people at the back wanted to persuade him, but when they heard Feng Qing's words, they became stupefied.

"Eh? Your Highness, are you serious? "

"That's right. If something were to happen to you, even if we were to die a thousand times, we would still be blamed for it."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"I have already said it, so I do not want to repeat it a third time. "From now on, you all should control the people present. If you are unable to control them, I will remember how you all look like. After that, we will settle our accounts."

Feng Qing said coldly.

There were a total of eight City Governors present. These people were all from nearby cities. The only reason he was here was to make use of the light of Peony City, or perhaps the enemies of Peony City, to observe the city.

Feng Qing's words instantly caused them to feel unwell.

They were here to watch a banquet, why did they offend the Crown Prince?

"Stop them now. No one is allowed to escape. " Feng Qing said.

"But …" Your Highness, even if you say that, I'm afraid that there are more than ten thousand people here, and we won't be able to stop you. " Someone said.

"Didn't they all bring troops? We allow you all to move around Peony City. " Feng Qing said.

This time, everyone was truly shocked.

As the City Lords, they naturally came to Peony City with their guards. However, if it wasn't an abnormal situation, they definitely wouldn't be allowed to use it. Feng Qing's permission made them realize that perhaps, the commotion in front of them was because of some mishap happening in the Peony City.

As the mayor of a city, he was not a fool. If his opponent was in trouble and they didn't make a move, then it would be too unfair for him and too much for Feng Qing's cooperation.

"Your Highness, at this point, we accept your order."

With the help of the City Lord, as well as the soldiers he had brought with him, it didn't take long for all of them to be surrounded, as if they were trapped in a cage.

"Let us leave!"

"Please let us go!"

"I don't want to die!"

At this moment, the ground was still shaking, and even the wine table had completely collapsed.

"Tell them to shut up." Feng Qing instructed.

When everyone heard this, they began to give the order to these people. There were people in the city, but there were others who weren't. It was very difficult to control them. After a long while, they finally shut their mouths.

"None of you are allowed to speak! "Now, your highness the Crown Prince, please enlighten me!"

Rumble …

After one of the city lords finished speaking, a restaurant had been emptied. At this moment, everyone became confused again. Feng Qing just looked at him coldly and allowed them to suppress him once again. Then, she said, "This is only the beginning of a grand gathering. You won't die. And that was not the ground moving, but rather, I … A human truth, if you please. "

Feng Qing's words caused everyone to be stupefied.

The human truth?

The people on the outside calmed down. Since Feng Qing had said that they wouldn't move, and since Feng Qing, the crown prince, was still around, they naturally didn't need to panic. But what was the human truth?

Compared to the bewilderment of the people outside, the nobles and the various city lords could not be at ease.

Especially these city lords, their hearts were filled with excitement. The truth, wasn't the biggest truth in Peony City the slaves underground? None of them knew how much they envied the deal in Peony City.

However … Peony City had controlled the slave market for too long, so they had no intention of letting it go. He was even on the verge of catching up with the city in front of him, which made people jealous and envious of him.

However, they could only think. After all, Qing Xun was very capable.

It was also very difficult for the slaves in Peony City to find their hiding place. In addition, there was also that martial sect from the Blacksmith God Sect helping them.

Even if the people around him wanted to do something, they had no way to do so.

His Highness the Crown Prince had been silent for many years. Regardless of whether he was on the throne or not, if he were to suddenly make a move, it was likely that he wanted to use Peony City to establish his might. As long as one had the ability, Peony City was without a doubt the best target. The darkness of this place was the shame of the coming month.

In addition to the current situation, as well as Feng Qing's statement, it was pretty close.

Everyone was very excited.

However, compared to the excitement of these City Lords, the other aristocratic families' faces were unsightly, as if they were widows who had died.

City Note... Could it be that he really failed?

At this moment, the ground was still moving.

Just as everyone was thinking about what the truth of the world was, they saw the ground crack open.

"Leave the crack." Feng Qing instructed.

These people all fled.

However, before they even had the chance to stir up another commotion, everyone was stunned. Even though the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking, they were still unable to move an inch. The gazes of these people were all filled with incomparable terror. They looked at the crack.

For a long time, no one dared to speak.

Soon, the cracks grew larger and larger. More and more people saw it.

"This... "What is this?"

"How is this possible?"

"Why are there so many people!"

"Just what is this Peony City!" Everyone shouted.

Everyone's expression was extremely ugly.
