This audacious thought rose even higher, and Ye Changfeng hurriedly tried to dispel it. Even if he couldn't dispel it, he had to suppress it to the deepest part of his heart.

After all, right now everyone is just dancing in this small town, and those dreams are still too far away.

But Ye Changfeng was still excited; his heart pounded like a drum, and his eyes burned.

The way they looked at Su Luo was also somewhat strange.

Su Luo rushed over: "Brother Changfeng, you can leave with them now..."

More than thirty guards shot and killed most of the two hundred of the Marquis of Sinan's personal guards, and the rest scattered and fled, trying to return to their camp.

When Su Luo returned and intended to have Ye Changfeng act according to the plan, she noticed that Ye Changfeng's gaze was a bit strange... as if he was in heat!

Su Luo felt a chill run down his spine and said, "Brother Changfeng, why are you looking at me like that? Let me tell you, I'm already married!"

Ye Changfeng was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened as he realized what he meant. "Brother Su Luo, you, you, you... what do you mean by this?!"

"I don't have homosexual tendencies, I just..."

Su Luo's lips twitched. "Stop talking nonsense and get moving!"

He glanced at the distance and, with his extraordinary senses, clearly heard the sound of horses' hooves.

The Yanhuang Army from Yunhai Town and Feixia Town should be arriving soon!

The great battle is about to begin!

Ye Changfeng's lips twitched as he watched Su Luo deliberately distance himself from him. "Brother Su Luo, I really..."

"Forget it, I'm leaving first!"

"Anyway, you should know that I really don't have homosexual tendencies!"

With that, he prepared to leave with his guards.

Su Luo turned around and couldn't help but mutter, "Everyone says the entertainment industry is messy, I didn't expect it to be true..."

Ye Changfeng almost stumbled.

……

After Ye Changfeng left, gasps of surprise immediately rang out on the streets of Shuiyun Town.

The Yanhuang Army stormed directly into the town!

"The Marquis of Sinan is heartless, treating the people like straw dogs. The Yanhuang Army has risen up!"

"The Yanhuang Army has risen up!"

Zhang Daqiang was leading the way, holding a long plastic weapon, and he rushed in shouting loudly.

The Yanhuang Army soldiers following behind him echoed his sentiments.

Although the people of Shuiyun Town were used to seeing soldiers and horses, they had never seen anything like this before.

"What's going on... Someone's rebelled!"

"This... they were forced into rebellion by Marquis Sinan?! And judging from their demeanor, they seem to be from Yunhai Town and Feixia Town!"

"Could it be because of the mine?! I heard the mine was cursed by the heavens, there was a hundred-day thunderclap here just now, and now there's a rebellion!"

"This Marquis of Sinan, I never expected that someone who looks so handsome on the surface would actually do such things in secret..."

"Heh, a good official?! We are all under the jurisdiction of Marquis Sinan. If he were a good official, how could we be living such a hard life!"

The murmurs of the crowd rose and fell.

Then, in their shock, they realized that although Zhang Daqiang and his troops were rebelling, they had no intention of harming the people!

Instead, they charged straight at the military camp in Shuiyun Town!

This left the people of Shuiyun Town even more astonished, because logically, it was the common people who should suffer in any rebellion...

After all, people tend to pick on the weakest link!

If the people suffer and are brutally slaughtered, perhaps the government troops will become more cautious?

But this time, the Yanhuang army had no intention of harming the civilians; they charged directly towards the military camp...

This made the common people wonder: Could it be that these Yanhuang soldiers were truly rising up for the people?

……

The town mayor's residence in Shuiyun Town.

Feiyun City governs four towns, and the mayors of three of these towns are members of the Xie family, or rather, descendants of the Xie family.

The position of town mayor is neither too important nor too minor, making it a good opportunity to train young people.

The only exception is that the mayor of Shuiyun Town is a man of Si Nan Hou Su Changsheng. Yes, he is a man of Su Changsheng.

He is not a member of the Xue family, nor does he have any relation to the First Madam.

His name is Su Mingtian. His original surname was not Su. He was given the surname Su after Su Changsheng entrusted him with an important task.

Su Mingtian had always worked diligently in Shuiyun Town, though he hadn't achieved any significant political accomplishments.

But it definitely didn't cause any trouble.

If anything, he openly and secretly helped Su Changsheng drive away many of the people of Shuiyun Town.

The able-bodied men were all taken to mines, while the old and young were sent to live as refugees.

The reason is simple: setting up a military camp requires territory, and Su Changsheng wanted to hide his army among the people, so he naturally had to expel some of the people of Shuiyun Town.

Everything was in preparation for increasing Su Changsheng's personal guard to 12,000 men.

Of course, on the surface, Su Changsheng would have 12,000 troops, but only Su Mingtian knew that Su Changsheng was secretly raising an army of 5,000 men...

At that time, that will be close to 20,000 people!

This was just the Imperial Guard, but it was different from the officers and soldiers directly under the command of the imperial court!

With 20,000 personal guards, if the barbarians were to invade again, the Marquis of Sinan would command all the garrison troops in Linshui County, which would amount to at least 100,000 soldiers...

And among them, 20,000 are confidants, which is enough to sway public opinion!

It's like ten people going out to eat. Everyone says they want rice, but then two people suddenly say they want noodles. The other eight people will definitely be affected...

If 20,000 of the 100,000 troops are under the command of Marquis Su Changsheng, then Su Changsheng will be able to do whatever he wants in future wars with ease!

Su Changsheng's ambition is beyond imagination!

"Those who don't know the situation say this incident at the Mo family's mine is divine retribution, but in my opinion, it's entirely God's blessing upon the Marquis..."

Su Mingtian looked at the gloomy sky from the town mayor's mansion and a smile appeared on his lips.

"The Mo family's mine has run into trouble. The Marquis can use this as an excuse to demand people and money from the Xue family..."

"The Xue family has always looked down on the Marquis. Although they think the Marquis is too greedy and annoying, they still give him enough troops."

"In the eyes of the Xue family, the Marquis's troops would ultimately still be controlled by Xue Baifeng. However, the reality is that Xue Baifeng will be gradually sidelined by the Marquis..."

"When the next war breaks out, the Marquis will be able to advance even further with the troops at his disposal!"

"At that time, not only in Linshui County... but in the entire Qingzhou, no one will dare to underestimate the Marquis!"

Thinking of this, Su Mingtian could almost picture Su Changsheng in his prime, and even the Su family's marquisate, which had been passed down for hundreds of years, would become... a duke!

Then he won't be Marquis Su anymore, he'll be Duke Su!

Just imagining this scene brought a proud smile to Su Mingtian's face...

At that moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly rang out outside, rumbling like thunder.

Su Mingtian frowned and glanced outside: "What happened?!"

"Who is making such a racket outside the mayor's mansion?!"
