Ye Hui felt a flicker of joy in his heart, though his face remained calm and serious. "Oh? Surrender? Tell me, what conditions has your Duke offered?"
Ye Hui understood that this sudden offer of allegiance must be hiding some unknown secrets. The two sides had yet to clash, and now the other party sought peace, especially with the Ku Si Yuan forces lurking nearby. It would be unreasonable to surrender without conditions.
The leader's expression grew more cautious at his words. He spoke carefully, "My Duke has only one condition: he wishes to continue governing Qingyang County." After saying this, he fixed his gaze on Ye Hui's expression, afraid to miss even the slightest change.
Upon hearing this, Ye Hui's heart sank. He let out a cold laugh inwardly, thinking, So he still wants to be a local tyrant.
However, on the surface, he maintained his composure. After a moment of contemplation, he replied, "Zhong Tianhao is quite calculating; he wants to reign over his little patch of land without lifting a finger."
"Convey to him that I can allow him to remain Duke, but as for which county, that will be up to me."
The man in black understood that this was the Ye Family Ancestor's bottom line. He dared not say more and respectfully cupped his hands in salute before turning to leave. What seemed like a sudden offer of allegiance was actually fraught with hidden currents of power and strategy.
In the deep halls of the Qi Kingdom Palace, candlelight flickered, illuminating Qi Wang Qi Feixiong's steady and imposing face. A guard hurried in, tightly gripping an urgent letter from Zheng Qifeng, his steps revealing the urgency of the situation.
Qi Feixiong took the letter and squinted as he carefully read each word, as if trying to absorb every piece of information contained within.
After a long pause, he slowly spoke with undeniable firmness: "Qi Xiao has inexplicably died at the hands of an imperial assassin. This matter is serious; I have reported it to the Holy Dynasty and requested a thorough investigation."
An unknown imperial assassin dared to kill within the Holy Dynasty's territory; this was a blatant provocation against its authority. The Holy Dynasty would not sit idly by.
As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in Qi Feixiong's eyes—a sign of respect for a formidable enemy. He knew that if this matter was mishandled, it could not only harm Qi State's interests but also potentially provoke conflict between the Holy Dynasty and unknown forces—an unimaginable outcome.
Regarding Tianfeng County's Ye Family Ancestor, Qi Feixiong shifted his tone slightly more gravely. "The true strength of Ye Family Ancestor is unclear. You must send more personnel to investigate thoroughly and let Zheng Qifeng act accordingly."
"If things become untenable, remember to preserve your strength; do not act rashly."
The guard's expression grew serious as he recognized the gravity and urgency of the situation. He quickly bowed in respect, accepted Qi Feixiong's orders, and turned to deliver the message.
As he left, he couldn't help but glance back at Qi Feixiong. The Qi Wang remained seated with a profound gaze as if he had already seen through future developments.
He hurried out of the hall and disappeared into the night, leaving Qi Feixiong alone under the flickering candlelight, continuing to ponder the path ahead.
