Ji Fengyan smiled as she looked at Lei Xu and said, “Fengyan is not very educated, and do not know about any of this troublesome way of settling things. I only know that I am Ji City’s City Lord and I have His Majesty’s appointment decree in my hands, so being rude to me is the same as being rude to Your Majesty! Who is Lei Min to dare doubt my way of doing things?”

Lei Xu heard Ji Fengyan’s words and almost vomited blood. The appointment decree in Ji Fengyan’s hands was her biggest bargain chip, and also the reason why Lei Xu did not dare to directly kill her. However, Ji Fengyan’s behaviour previously was all along compromising, so Lei Xu thought that Ji Fengyan was weak and easy to bully, who knew that...

She was instead a brutal young person who would bite.

Ji City’s people would not listen to Ji Fengyan so long as Lei Xu was around, but Linghe and her guards were the swords that Ji Fengyan was holding onto!

In the forest, even though Lei Xu’s men were more than theirs, but...

One must know that Linghe and his men were not ordinary guards!

They were all warriors who have retired from the battlefield and the ones who had really experienced bloodshed!

Lei Xu’s gaze changed suddenly, but there was no longer any point. Linghe did not bother about Lei Xu’s shout at all and the 10 over of them instantly made all the guards defending Lei Min fall to the ground one by one.

Those seemingly strong guards were as weak as tofu in front of the tough group of warriors like Linghe.

Not even in a blink of an eye, Linghe had already carried Lei Min out from the crowd he was hiding in. With Lei Min continued to scream miserably, Linghe tossed Lei Min in front of Ji Fengyan and ruthlessly pressed him into the dirt with his legs when Lei Min tried to crawl up.

“Ji Fengyan! Don’t be too much!!” Lei Xu was completely enraged. He could only watch as they trampled on his only son. The rage he felt could not be suppressed any longer.

But...

Ji Fengyan only took a glance at Lei Xu and said with a slight smile, “doubting the City Lord that Your Majesty appointed means doubting Your Majesty. Master Lei, don’t tell me you are trying to cover up for your son? And openly oppose Your Majesty?”

Suddenly, Lei Xu was stunned. The family heads who were standing behind had originally wanted to back him up, but they all instantly kept quiet. No one had imagined that this unattractive brat in front of them was this shrewd. She had actually brought out Your Majesty at this moment. Under Your Majesty’s protection, no one dared to oppose Ji Fengyan at this point in time.

Especially when...

Linghe and the rest had the upper hand in fighting.

Seeing Linghe’s suppressed face turn green, Ji Fengyan’s mouth curled into a wider grin. She turned to say to Linghe, “Beat him.”

“Yes,” Linghe’s eyes flashed with excitement. They already could not see eye to eye with Lei Min this traitor since a long time ago, now that they had a legitimate reason to beat him up, they naturally were not merciful.

Lei Min still wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Linghe’s sword had already landed on him!

There were no boards found in the wilderness, so Linghe used the sword in his and wrapped it with one layer of clothes to replace a board. They could hear only a crackling sound when the sword landed on Lei Min’s butt!

The sword made using steel could not be compared to the weight of an ordinary board. With each hit, Lei Min instantly screamed until his throat was hoarse. The heart wrenching scream from Lei Min’s mouth sounded as if a pig was being butchered.

“It’s such a pity that Brother Ling’s precious weapons had to actually be used at such a place. Really, it’s a waste of his weapon.” Ji Fengyan smiled as she lifted her head to look at Lei Xu, whose face had already turned purple.
