At the Duke's mansion in the Duchy of Bester.
"Report!"
A soldier strode in from outside, then bowed respectfully, "Lord Rops, four waves of rebel forces have appeared in Tushan City, and there are several scattered forces around."
"Although Commander Leng Feiyan has led troops to suppress them, it's still like trying to quench a burning cart with a drop of water!"
Upon hearing the soldier's words, Count Rops' brow furrowed. Leng Feiyan, who served as the commander of the Duke's mansion, also arrived in the hall. Rops quickly stood up upon seeing Leng Feiyan, as she was a trusted confidante personally appointed by Duke Ye Xuan.
"Count Rops."
Leng Feiyan entered the hall and looked at Rops, whose face was full of worry. She pondered the widespread rebellions in the Duchy of Bester and the recently unified Duchy of Mixi.
Indeed, there were too many rebellions in various places, and the intelligence of the Underworld Palace in the two duchies was not comprehensive, making it impossible to quell them immediately. Or, by the time they reached the rebel strongholds, the rebels had already relocated.
"Commander Leng, you've arrived."
Count Rops looked at Leng Feiyan in her armor. He had to admit that in recent times, Leng Feiyan had redefined his perception of women. Leng Feiyan alone was enough to rival an army, truly a female war god.
Wherever she went, cities fell, and rebel forces were suppressed!
"This matter may require alarming the Duke."
After pondering for a moment, Count Rops spoke, "Although Commander Leng and your subordinates can each fight a hundred, there are simply too few experts like yourselves."
"Count Rops, I can handle the rebellions within the Duchy of Bester, but the Duchy of Mixi is too far away for me to reach."
As they conversed, the two eventually reached an agreement to seek Ye Xuan's assistance.
...
In a room at Nine Dragons One Villa.
After a long period of activity, Luo Tianyi leaned contentedly in her man's arms and fell asleep. Ye Xuan embraced the sleeping beauty, recalling the events of the past six months since their reunion.
And in a few months, their small family would welcome two new members. Honestly, he was truly looking forward to it.
Moreover, the three little ones, Mengmeng and the others, could now call out "Dad," "Mom," "Grandpa," and "Grandma."
Before long, they would be able to run around and chase each other, and they were becoming increasingly like little cotton-padded jackets. Thinking of this, a smile curved Ye Xuan's lips.
Ding Lingling~
Just then, a phone call came in. The caller ID was none other than Count Rops, who was seeking help.
Upon answering the call, Rops' voice came from the other end, "Your Grace, I hope I'm not disturbing your rest."
Rops calculated the time. It was already around ten o'clock at night in Tianhai. He wasn't sure if Duke Ye Xuan was resting, but the situation in the Duchy of Bester, including the Duchy of Mixi, was critical, and he couldn't afford to delay, which was why he had made the call.
Looking at the sleeping beauty in his arms, Ye Xuan carefully got up and went to the balcony. "Not yet. What is it?"
"It's like this, Your Grace. Although the major forces within the Duchy of Mixi have been pacified by us, there are still small scattered forces everywhere, extremely tenacious, and highly mobile. Our intelligence on the Duchy of Mixi is not particularly detailed, making it very inconvenient to operate..."
Rops then roughly explained the situation within the territories of the Duchy of Bester and the Duchy of Mixi. This matter could not be delayed any longer. If it were to drag on, not only would the Duchy of Mixi not be stably controlled, but the Duchy of Bester itself could be dragged down.
"Rebellions everywhere?"
Hearing Rops' words, Ye Xuan pondered for a moment. When the Duchy of Mixi had fallen previously, he had already considered this. However, the situation was more serious than he had imagined.
"Alright, I understand."
After hearing Rops' report, Ye Xuan continued, "You and Leng Feiyan try your best to quell the small rebel forces within Bester. As for the Duchy of Mixi, I will handle it."
"Yes, Your Grace!"
Rops responded respectfully and then hung up the phone. With Ye Xuan's words, Rops felt relieved. Although he didn't know how Duke Ye Xuan would resolve it.
Next, Ye Xuan dialed Wang Tiezhuan's number.
"Young Master Ye, what did you say!?"
"Okay, understood!!"
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's call, Wang Tiezhuan stood up solemnly. "I'll arrange it immediately!"
After finishing the call, Wang Tiezhuan looked towards the Duchy of Bester with disbelief. Ye Shao's words echoed in his mind repeatedly.
What had he heard?
Ye Shao said... he had bought the Duchy of Bester, meaning that the Duchy of Bester was now Ye Shao's asset, and he was also the new Duke of Bester.
Furthermore, this wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that the Duchy of Bester had annexed the Duchy of Mixi not long ago. In other words, Ye Shao was actually the master of these two duchies.
Immediately, Wang Tiezhuan summoned the Luo Tian and Luo Yu Ru siblings, as well as Wolf Fang and others.
"Pfft~"
"Brother Wang, what did you say!?"
Upon hearing Wang Tiezhuan's words, Luo Yu Ru's eyes widened to their limits, filled with disbelief. "Young Master Ye, he... he bought the Duchy of Bester, and also annexed the Duchy of Mixi."
"And he wants us to send some people to the two duchies to quell the rebellions!?"
It wasn't just Luo Yu Ru; everyone else in the room was astonished. Quelling two duchies was a major undertaking. But how could Ye Shao have the ability and channels to buy the Duchy of Bester? When did this happen?
In an instant, they gained a new understanding of Ye Shao.
Before, when he single-handedly rescued Wang Tiezhuan from Hades, the Sun God Guard of the Dark Church, they were already amazed. Now, they realized they had ultimately underestimated Ye Shao.
A little over ten minutes later.
An order was issued from the highest echelons of Tianquan, and immediately Wang Tiezhuan contacted Tianhai Airport and the airports of Tianquan Security branches in major cities. Members gathered and headed towards the airports, with their destination being the Duchy of Mixi and the Duchy of Bester.
Ten people!
A hundred people! A thousand people!!
That night, Tianhai and its surrounding cities with Tianquan Security branches were in an uproar. Airplanes took off from airports and flew towards the Duchy of Mixi and the Duchy of Bester.
Every member of Tianquan Security had an excited look on their faces. Their journey abroad this time was of great importance.
The Tianhai Judicial Department and various other departments cooperated fully. The reason was that the Wang family from the imperial capital mobilized all their connections and resources to fully cooperate.
As for why the Wang family acted this way, it was because they had also learned through secret channels that Wang Yuyan was assassinated by members of the Church of Light eight years ago. They also knew that their son-in-law, Lin Feng, had already engaged in battle with the Church of Light and had destroyed one of its branches. In a sense, Ye Xuan could be considered a benefactor to their Wang family.
For the various cities with Tianquan Security, this night was destined to be a sleepless one.
