Elder Kong Zhengqing of the Free and Unfettered Sect

The next morning.

"Extra! Extra! Last night, Wu Tiande, a commander of the Brocade-Clad Guard Uniform Guard, stormed the Grand Eunuch's mansion alone, killing a group of eunuchs and leaving a river of blood. He even wrote on the wall, 'The killer is Wu Tiande, a commander of the Brocade-Clad Guard!'" A little beggar shouted as he walked down the street.

The pedestrians on the street were shocked upon hearing this. "What! Thousand-Household Wu is so domineering! He doesn't even wait until the next day to take revenge!"

"Quick! Go and see if that's what happened!"

A group of people arrived at the governor's mansion and immediately noticed the large characters on the wall. They exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! That's ruthless! After killing people, they even left these words behind. They've truly destroyed their spirit!"

"Ouch!! That was a real slap in the face! I wouldn't even dare to go out if I were in that situation!"

"It seems the North City will still have to rely on the Brocade-Clad Guard from now on. The Western Depot? It's nothing special..."

The General's Residence.

At this moment, Director Cao and his group sat in silence, their faces ashen, burning with a furious rage and resentment at their humiliation, yet utterly helpless.

"Report!" A hurried voice suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing this, Director Cao's face darkened with impatience, and he roared, "What is it?! Speak up now!"

Before the messenger could speak, he was interrupted by a deep voice, "Director Cao! Why are you so irritable! You didn't even come out to greet me when I arrived?"

Upon hearing this, Director Cao frowned and asked in confusion, "You are...?"

"Elder of the Free and Unfettered Sect! Kong Zhengqing!"

Upon hearing this, Director Cao's eyes gleamed, and he laughed loudly, "Elder Kong, what an honor to have you here! Please come in! Please come in!"

Kong Zhengqing smiled slightly upon hearing this and strode in. "Director Cao! What happened? You all seem quite angry!"

Upon hearing this, Director Cao gave a wry smile and slowly explained to Kong Zhengqing.

"I see! It seems Wu Tiande's strength is not to be underestimated!"

"His strength is indeed formidable, but he's nothing special in front of Elder Kong!"

"Hahaha! I love hearing Director Cao say that! Don't worry! His life is in my hands! I must avenge our young master!"

Upon hearing this, Director Cao laughed loudly, "Hahaha! With Elder Kong's words, I am relieved. I wonder if you have found Li Wuyai?"

Upon hearing this, Kong Zhengqing shook his head and sighed, "We've been searching for him for over a year, but we still haven't heard from him. However, I heard that Yu Yingfan seems to have taken our young master away. I wonder if he's here now?"

Upon hearing this, Director Cao gave a bitter laugh, "He... was killed by that bastard Wu Tiande last night, and he even took his head back!"

Upon hearing this, Kong Zhengqing's face immediately darkened. "Hmph! It's that Wu Tiande again! It seems killing him was too lenient. Once I capture him, I'll make him taste my methods!"

Thousand-Household Manor.

At this moment, all ten officers of the Brocade-Clad Guard were in the main hall, anxiously waiting for Li Changfeng's arrival.

Old Li stroked his beard and asked doubtfully, "Do you think this was done by Commander Qianhu?"

Old Wang chuckled and said, "Is that even a question? If it wasn't done by an adult, was it done by a ghost? Are there really such kind people?"

Old Li nodded. "Old Wang! You're right!"

Zuo Kangcheng and Sun Hongwen thought to themselves, "This commander is so domineering, daring to storm the governor's mansion alone and kill so many people. He's truly a man of character!"

A newly arrived centurion smiled slightly and said, "It is our honor to serve under a commander like you, a chiliarch!"

The other two new centurions nodded in agreement. "Indeed! With such a commander, we would go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Among the three new centurions, one was exceptionally handsome, with sword-like eyebrows, a fair complexion, and clear, captivating eyes. He appeared extremely dashing and debonair. This man was named Li Feng.

The other two are twin brothers with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and dark skin. They look a bit simple-minded. Their names are Zhou Kangshun and Zhou Taihe.

Just then.

Li Changfeng slowly walked out and chuckled, "What brings you all here so early in the morning?"

Xia Wu said casually, "Commander! We've come to confirm something with you: were you the one who did what happened last night?"

Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng smiled slightly, took out a black bundle, and threw it directly on the ground. "See for yourselves!"

Without saying a word, Xia Wu opened the bundle and was shocked to find a human head inside. "This... this is Yu Yingfan's head!"

Upon seeing this, Leng Zhi exclaimed in surprise, "Was it you, Commander Qian, who went alone to the General's mansion last night to avenge those five brothers?"

Seeing Old Li shouted, "Of course!"

After saying this, the five centurions, their faces solemn, knelt down immediately. "Commander! Righteousness! We swear to be loyal to you to the death!!"

Li Changfeng smiled slightly, "Get up, everyone! This is just a small matter!"

"Since you're here, that's good! I have something to tell you. I reckon Director Cao and his men won't let this go easily. Be sure to keep an eye on them while you're on patrol, and watch out for any underhanded tricks they might pull!"

Upon hearing this, everyone clasped their hands in greeting and said, "We accept the order!"

One month later.

The North City was peaceful, and the Brocade-Clad Guard patrolled with ease. The shopkeepers were all very respectful to them and would grant their every request.

The fact that the people in the Western Depot remained completely silent, as if nothing had happened, was very strange!

At this moment, Li Changfeng sat in a chair with his eyes closed, slowly resting, thinking to himself, "What exactly are these people from the Western Depot doing? Have they just given up like this? No! It can't be that simple; they must be plotting something!"

"Report!!" Suddenly, a Brocade-Clad Guard rushed over and said urgently.

Li Changfeng's expression turned slightly serious. "What happened?"

"Reporting to Commander Qian! Li Xiu, the centurion, was arrested during his patrol, leaving behind only a group of Brocade-Clad Guard and a note!"

Without saying a word, Li Changfeng opened the note. It read, "If you want to save Li Xiu, come to Mount Bei Ming the city alone! I'll be waiting for you there!"

Li Changfeng's face darkened after reading it, and he said to the Brocade-Clad Guard, "I'm going out for a bit, don't tell anyone else!"

The Brocade-Clad Guard hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, "Commander! You can't go alone! You must at least take your brothers with you!"

Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Too many people will only alert the enemy. I'm afraid Old Li will just get killed. Don't worry, they can't do anything to me!"

The Brocade-Clad Guard's face turned grim. "But... this is far too dangerous. If something were to happen to you, we'd be leaderless!"

Li Changfeng said arrogantly, "Hahaha! They wouldn't go so far as to kill me! Don't worry!"

Having said that, he didn't give the Brocade-Clad Guard any chance to refute him, and simply vanished without a trace, turning into a blur.

Not long after Li Changfeng left, a figure suddenly appeared, slowly gazing in the direction he had rushed off to, and shook his head. "Lord Commander! You were still too impulsive!"

After saying that, the figure also transformed into a figure and rushed towards Li Changfeng's direction.
