And what the hell is that gate?

There is a suspension bridge in front of the gate, and there is a deep trench underneath. The suspension bridge is now suspended high, so it seems unlikely that they can enter through the gate.

There is also a deep ditch around the wall, and the wall is only built halfway up. If you put in some effort, you can still climb over the wall.

However, anyone with enough brain power can see the archers on high ground ready to shoot. Unless they can grow wings and fly over, no one can be faster than the arrows.

Therefore, the army waited obediently outside the gate, and the secret guards relied on their good skills and slipped into the commercial district from an inconspicuous place while the archers' attention was on the army.

After much effort, he found King Dongshan and reported the current situation.

King Dongshan also had a headache. His original intention was to mobilize troops to control the private army, but now there was no trace of the private army. He didn't know whether they had all hidden themselves or only these people were captured.

He pinched the bridge of his nose. Some things had to be made clear sooner or later. Otherwise, he would be in a passive position later.

Ye Qingfeng assembled his troops and prepared to set off. The guards of the caravan were already checking their weapons and installing bowstrings on the crossbows. It looked like they were preparing for a big battle.

King Dongshan came to find Ye Qingfeng and pulled him to a secluded place before standing still.

Ye Qingfeng looked at the person who had hurriedly pulled him out, and now he was hesitating and not talking. He said impatiently:

"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating? Has the shopkeeper woken up?" Are the two of them having another conflict?

Need to reconcile yourself?

I don’t have time now, the enemy is here, let’s talk about this later.

King Dongshan saw that he was about to lose his temper, so he said:

"Don't be nervous. The soldiers outside the gate are not here to attack Panlong Mountain. Their target is the private army!"

Ye Qingfeng asked doubtfully: "How do you know that they are not here to cause trouble for Panlong Mountain?" How do you know who their target is?

Prince Dongshan touched his nose and whispered, "I am the one who transferred these soldiers. Of course I know."

Ye Qingfeng stared at him in disbelief: Did I just hear something? What did you say?

King Dongshan cleared his throat uncomfortably and confessed:

"I mobilized the troops here because I thought those people would come to attack here again. I was afraid that you couldn't hold on, so I used my connections to find helpers. But, there has been no movement over there in the past few days. Do you think I should send them back or..."

Ha ha!

Ye Qingfeng thought that Xie Jiu might be crazy. He reached out to touch Xie Jiu's forehead, but was avoided by him in disgust.

Ye Qingfeng made a "tsk" sound. He only guessed that Xie Jiu had some family background, but now he said that he could mobilize troops. This was really far-fetched.

He carefully looked at Xie Jiu from head to toe again.

"Xie Jiu, who are you?"

It’s hard to describe the King of Dongshan in a few words.

Ye Qingfeng thought of the shopkeeper who had a quarrel with Xie Jiu, and said:

"Isn't it because my shopkeeper discovered your identity that he got into a conflict with you?"

A word awakens a dreamer! The more Ye Qingfeng thought about it, the more possible it was. Otherwise, considering Wei Dong's preference for Xie Jiu, how could he break up so easily?

King Dongshan thought: I didn't try to conceal my whereabouts at that time, and Wei Dong must have been aware of it with his carefulness. He was just unwilling to give up and wanted to separate himself from Xie Jiu's identity.

In fact, Wei Dong started to treat himself coldly because he began to doubt that he was not the real Xie Jiu. He had never dared to face this problem.

But avoiding it would not resolve the conflict, and he didn't want to remain in a stalemate with Weidong.

Ye Qingfeng looked at Xie Jiu's drooping brows and wondered if there was anything he didn't understand. He pointed at Xie Jiu with a look of disappointment and was completely speechless!

After regaining his senses, he still asked: "Xie Jiu, answer me, who are you? How can I help you when I know nothing?"

King Dongshan hesitated for a long time, thinking that he would have to face this problem sooner or later. He looked around without looking at Ye Qingfeng, and said nonchalantly:

"That's right, I'm the King of Dongshan, but I'm just a prince with no status!"

Ye Qingfeng: "Oh, you are a prince...lord?! What did you say?" He raised his voice so loud that his voice even cracked!

King Dongshan said embarrassedly: "Why are you making such a loud noise? You scared me!" He was the first to complain.

Who was scared?

Do you have to say such horrifying words with such a nonchalant expression?

A prince, you are just... nothing more? No status yet?

If the princes don’t have status, then what are ordinary people like them?

If you don’t say anything shocking, you will die!

Ye Qingfeng widened his eyes and walked around King Dongshan, wanting to see what the difference was between the legendary dragon and phoenix and ordinary people. In the end, he found that King Dongshan was still Xie Jiu!

There is no difference!

Except for the slightly scary identity, nothing else seems to have changed!

He scratched his head, not knowing what the conflict was about. Could it be that the shopkeeper felt that there was a huge gap in status between him and Xie Jiu, and that it was inappropriate for them to be together?

That's right! No matter how you look at it, the prince and the caravan owner are not a good match!

This is difficult to deal with.

Ye Qingfeng thought for a long time and said frankly: "You two are in a bit of a precarious situation." He scratched his chin.

"You are too high-ranking to be with us. Besides, Wei Dong seems to be easy to talk to, but once he makes a decision, it is usually difficult to change it."

He is a bit stubborn and has his own bottom line.

King Dongshan knew that the relationship between him and Weidong could only be resolved slowly, and this was not the most urgent matter now.

He said to Ye Qingfeng:

"We'll talk about him and me later. How do I place the troops I've called in now? Do you know if those who want to rob here are coming? If not, I'll send them back."

Look, they are different after all.

The prince can mobilize the army at will just by asking.

If you tell them to come, they come; if you tell them not to come, they leave; it’s just a matter of words.

Ye Qingfeng frowned and thought for a while, then said:

"We don't know the situation here either. You know, we are a caravan from the north, and we came here to help."

King Dongshan rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't you go ask Manager Shang?"

Ye Qingfeng just thought of asking, and said to him:

"Wait here for a while, I'll go ask." He just turned around, then stopped and turned back to King Dongshan and said:

"How about... you go with me?"

King Dongshan originally planned to let Ye Qingfeng introduce him to Shopkeeper Shang. If he went to him directly, Shopkeeper Shang would definitely not believe him.

But if Ye Qingfeng could explain the friendship between them, it would probably make Manager Shang feel more at ease.

He had no intention of getting into trouble with Panlong Mountain, nor did he want to make things difficult for the Bai family, as long as they were not traitors.

It would be best if their army could be stationed near Panlong Mountain, so that they can sit back and wait for an opportunity, but they don't know whether they can wait and see.
