This god is really evil

Chapter 304: Second-rank Cavalry General Li Yan!

As the eldest senior brother of the Da Qi Ming Palace, Situ Ming understood that a person who was born as a god and a law breaker was not scary, and a county magistrate who had the support of the people was not scary either.

But when these two things are combined, and the other party also controls 200,000 elite soldiers and millions of cult followers, it instantly becomes terrifying!

It can even be said that it has become a major concern for the imperial court!

Originally, Situ Ming still had contempt for Li Yan, but at this moment he suddenly realized that Li Yan had been able to endure until now before completely erupting, and his every move revealed such infinite power. He was definitely the most powerful existence he had ever seen in his life!

He took a deep breath and said to the attendant beside him:

"Write a letter to the capital immediately, one to my master, one to the eldest prince... and the third letter to Prime Minister Yan, saying... Li Yan, the magistrate of Qinghe County, turned the tide, suppressed the 200,000 White Lotus sect soldiers, and subdued a million White Lotus sect members from the Saint Girl down, saving the people from the dire situation. I am... requesting a title for Li Yan, and hope you will be generous with your reward..."

The attendant beside him wrote down Situ Ming's words quickly, and Situ Ming continued:

"Write another secret letter to my master and tell him that... Li Yan has already reached the twelfth rank, the first person below the virtual immortal, and is deeply loved by the soldiers and civilians of Qinghe County. He is highly respected by the people and should be given an official title... of the third rank or above. Now... I will do everything I can to bring Li Yan to the capital."

In the past, a person who was born to be chosen by God and had a mysterious destiny, who was weak and yet not disabled, would have been Situ Ming’s dream collection.

And now, a law breaker who has already reached the twelfth level and has the support of one million White Lotus followers, 200,000 soldiers and even the entire Qinghe County is enough for Situ Ming to take him seriously from the bottom of his heart.

It will also make the entire court pay attention to it!
This is what we mean when we say we should demonstrate the value of united front work.

For Li Yan now, the lowest-cost method available to the court of Da Qi is to reward and appease him.

Wait until the other party enters the capital, and then take your time to deal with it.

Seeing the attendant beside him still writing furiously, Situ Ming simply pushed him away, grabbed the brush and said:
"Forget it, I'll write it myself!"

As the eldest senior brother of the Palace of Life, he has made many close friends in the court of Da Qi over the years, especially the eldest prince. He was originally a follower of the eldest prince. Now that the crown prince is unknown, Li Yan can be said to be a double-edged sword. If he can be used well, he may be a help to the eldest prince.

Just as Situ Ming was writing furiously, the cheers from both inside and outside the city gradually subsided. Then the White Lotus Saint and the chief priest kowtowed to Li Yan again. Then the sedan chair that originally belonged to the White Lotus Saint started slowly. The 200,000 White Lotus soldiers lined up on both sides and surrounded Li Yan as they walked towards the entire Qinghe County.

It was not until they reached the foot of the city wall that Li Yan got off the sedan chair and went up to the city wall with the White Lotus Saint Yi Lingxi and the White Lotus Priest Liao Mingyuan.

At this time, hundreds of thousands of people in Qinghe County had heard what was happening outside. They came out of their houses and gathered spontaneously under the city wall, wanting to catch a glimpse of the county magistrate, Lord Li Yan.

Seeing that there was a stunningly beautiful woman following Lord Li, who seemed not to be from this world, all the people were amazed.

You should know that in Hedong Road and even in the whole Da Qi, the reputation of the White-Faced Saint has spread far and wide. According to the rumor, the White Lotus Saint has a green face and fangs, and can stop children from crying at night. No one expected that she is such a stunning beauty.

What was even more unexpected was that he was subdued by our county magistrate, Lord Li Yan!
Seeing Li Yan and Niu Ma appear with the White Lotus Saint and Liao Mingyuan, Situ Ming quickly stepped forward with a bright smile and said:

"Mr. Li is so righteous. Congratulations, Mr. Li!"

Li Yan smiled faintly and said:

"Master Situ, you have worked hard. In this cold winter, the wind on the city wall is biting. It is difficult for Master Situ to sit for so long."

Having said that, without even looking at Situ Ming, he walked straight to the city wall and looked at the densely packed people in the city.

Situ Ming had never been ignored like this before, and he couldn't help but feel angry. He took a step forward and wanted to say something, but he instantly felt a fierce murderous intent suddenly enveloped him, and with it came a powerful spiritual pressure that far exceeded his level of worship. At this moment, Situ Ming felt like he was a prey being targeted by a hunter, and it seemed that if he dared to move, he would die on the spot!

He turned his head suddenly and immediately saw a pair of eyes revealed above the veil of the White Lotus Saint. The eyes were light and bright, as if she was just glancing at him casually.

But Situ Ming understood that this was a warning from the White Lotus Saint to him!
Situ Ming felt as if he had been through the gates of hell. His face turned red and he was filled with shame and anger, but he dared not say anything.

He understood that the White Lotus Saint Yi Lingxi looked approachable at the moment, that was only because Li Yan was beside her, and the respect of the White Lotus Saint was only for Li Yan. If he dared to do anything rash, this evil woman would definitely not take his identity as the eldest senior brother of the Fate Palace into consideration.

The other party even hoped that he would do something disadvantageous to Li Yan so as to give her the opportunity to kill!

After figuring this out, Situ Ming took a step back, said no more words, and waited quietly for Li Yan.

Li Yan came to the city wall at this time, smiling and gentle, once again becoming the good county magistrate who loved his people like his own children. He spoke to comfort the people in the city, and was immediately greeted with cheers from the people.

The entire Qinghe County was in a panic before. No one knew what the White Lotus Sect would do after attacking the city. Some people had even prepared themselves to be massacred by the White Lotus demon.

Who could have thought that Lord Li could easily suppress the White Lotus Saint, and also subdue the 200,000 White Lotus soldiers. Everyone was completely relieved at this time, and there was a festive atmosphere in the city.

When Li Yan finished pacifying the people and was about to leave, Situ Ming saw the opportunity, stepped forward, bowed and said with a smile:
"Sir Li, Sir Li has made great achievements in Qinghe County. They are simply shocking and have amazed the world. I have finished my work here and am preparing to return to the capital to report. I wonder if Sir Li is willing to go with me?"

After a pause, Situ Ming continued:

"In addition, I have written an urgent letter and sent it to the capital to ask for merit for Lord Li... The current Crown Prince and I are close friends, and the Crown Prince is eager to find talented people. If you and I go to the capital together, we can meet the Crown Prince. What do you think, Lord Li?"

Li Yan smiled slightly and said:

"Thank you for your kindness, but I am an official appointed by the court. How can I leave my post without permission? I'd better wait for the court to reward me and the decree to go to the capital before I set out."

Situ Ming's heart sank.

Does Li Yan mean that he is preparing to establish his own regime?
Considering the current situation in Anding County and the war raging all over the world, it is not impossible!

No, we must write another letter to the capital and let the officials in the court spend a lot of money.

This Li Yan won't show his strength until he sees the rabbit. If he doesn't give any benefits, I'm afraid it will never work...

While hesitating, he saw Li Yan actually bringing the White Lotus Saint and others down from the city wall and into the county town.

In the next few days, there was silence in the Sitianjian, which served as the temporary county government office, and the entire Qinghe County became stable, as if the previous 200,000 White Lotus soldiers' attack on the city had never happened.

The 200,000 White Lotus soldiers outside the city dispersed without anyone noticing, and no one knew where they went.

Situ Ming was feeling uneasy in the fate palace, not knowing what Li Yan was planning, but he didn't dare to ask directly. After all, the power of the White Lotus Saint was too strong, and he and Liao Mingyuan were at war to the death, so he was afraid that the other party would take the opportunity to do something dirty.

After waiting for a few days, one day, a eunuch from the palace dressed in brocade clothes came riding a tall horse, roaring from the official road, rushed in through the gate, and read out the imperial edict.

"...Li Yan, the magistrate of Qinghe County...turned the tide and suppressed the evil...he was awarded the title of Second Rank Cavalry General!"
