Sun Kang did not hesitate.
He nodded firmly.
"Yes."
Sun Kang turned and left.
After Sun Kang was gone,
Lü Fengxian tightened his grip on the Fangtian Halberd.
His figure flickered.
He vanished from the spot.
Before long,
an order went out from the Governor's Mansion in Xu Province.
Lü Fengxian, Marquis of Lu and governor of Xu Province, issued the command:

He had just presented the urgent report from Xu Province.
Now,
he wished he could bury his head in
