Chapter 66: Butterfly Dance Storm (Part 2)

  Yang Shuangfeng tried to make his tone calmer, and slowly said: "Die Fengwu, this is a complete misunderstanding. You are perfectly clear that it's a misunderstanding. The corpses of so many slaves outside can't prove everything? The slave rebellion in Bao Yingfu has nothing to do with me. I just want to return to Menis as soon as possible to fulfill my duties. Can you imagine why I would need to do this? What benefit would the slave rebellion in Bao Yingfu bring to me? I myself...

  "Butterfly Maple said coldly: 'This doesn't need you to say it, I will naturally conduct an investigation.'"

  Yang Shuangfeng let out a long sigh, and the depression in his heart can be imagined. He had never thought so strongly that he must have a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle in his hand. No matter who was unreasonable and rude to him, he could face it calmly, rather than being treated with cold eyes and insults like now.

  "General Fengwu, don't be fooled for a moment, Yang Suofeng might just be the mastermind behind this rebellion!" A slender and fleeting voice suddenly emerged. Yang Suofeng's face changed abruptly, he turned his head fiercely, glaring viciously at the figure that appeared in the doorway.

  Yoshikawa Michihiro, Governor-General of Tang Zhi!

  Tang Zhi hastily walked in, his face unable to conceal the panic in his heart. This was the first time Yang Shuangfeng had seen him look like this, and he felt both relieved and worried at the same time. The relief came from seeing Tang Zhi's disheveled appearance, while the worry stemmed from the fact that this riot had left even the usually calculating Tang Zhi at a loss for what to do, which gave an idea of its enormous scale. For a moment, his mind was filled with countless doubts and he stood there in a daze.

  "Mr. Tang, what's going on?" Hu Die Xuan furrowed her brow slightly and said softly, tapping the whip in her hand on the ground.

  Tang Zhi panted heavily and said, "This is not good. This riot is obviously organized, but I don't know who the mastermind is for the time being. However, based on my speculation, it may be related to those slaves transported from the Minis region. There are too many of them, which has caused an imbalance in the power among the slaves..."

  "Butterfly Maple Dance said disapprovingly: "Mr. Tang, the top priority is to investigate the situation clearly, not to speculate. The people I brought today are not many, and we must catch the thief first, take down the mastermind behind the scenes, otherwise, once the riot spreads out, it will bring unpredictable consequences. At that time, even if we can successfully quell it, it will still cause a large number of unnecessary casualties."

  Tang Zǐ glared fiercely at Yang Shuòfēng, gritting his teeth as he spoke: "General Fèngwǔ, I request that you immediately take this Yang Shuòfēng naval lieutenant general into custody. I suspect that everything is his doing, and that he wants to release the slaves in the Ménīsī area, so he intentionally instigated this rebellion."

  Butterfly maple dance, in the deep blue eyes suddenly flashed a compelling cold light, staring deeply at Yang Shuang Feng, tightly staring at his every move, said in a low voice: "Tang gentleman, please say it more clearly."

  Yang Shuangfeng angrily said: "Tang Zhi, don't frame me and shift the blame onto me! I didn't know at all that a rebellion had occurred outside! The matters between you and me, you are well aware of them!"

  Tang Zhi excitedly said: "General Feng Wu, don't be deceived by him. He is the one who killed Mu Shunying, the governor of Bao Ying Prefecture..."

  The butterfly maple danced with a sudden movement, the whip in his hand straightened into a line, and he said with a deep gaze: "He killed Mu Shunying Zhifu?"

  Tang Zhi nodded heavily and said: "Yang Suofeng is a ruthless and cunning person, who has committed all sorts of evil deeds. Not only did he kill Mu Shunying, but he also raped the widow of Cai Yanqi, General Su Yunruo. His wickedness is unmatched... General Fengwu, don't be deceived by his appearance, he's actually a despicable scoundrel..."

  Yang Shuangfeng indignantly shouted: "Tang Zhi, all of this is your design to frame me!"

  "Butterfly Maple stared at Yang Shuofeng and said coldly: 'I only asked you, did you kill Mu Shunying?'"

  Yang Shuangfen felt a surge of hot blood and angrily said: "Yes, Mu Shunying was killed by me, but..."

  Butterfly Maple Dance suddenly became furious, sternly shouting: "You don't need to say more. Come on, take him down, lock him up and hand him over to Director Ling for investigation!"

  Four officers standing by Yang Shuangfeng's side took action together, instantly tying up Yang Shuangfeng tightly. However, Yang Shuangfeng did not resist much either. Only She Yan and others still held the eagle-angle longbow, facing off against the shrinking encirclement of Qingyan Feiying.

  "Butterfly Maple said coldly: 'Yang Su Feng, order your subordinates to lay down their arms, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties.'"

  Yang Shuangfen closed her eyes and let out a long sigh. "Shaye, I order you to put down your weapons and stop this futile resistance."

  But Xie Yan's eyes turned red, and he said excitedly: "Feng Ling, I cannot accept your order. On that day, it was Feng Luan, the Empress of Wu, who ordered us to lay down our arms and not resist, and we ended up in this situation today. Since leaving the Yilina Imperial Palace, I have vowed that I will never execute an order to surrender to the enemy again! No matter where that order comes from!"

  Yang Shuang said weakly: "She Yan, they are not enemies! It's just a misunderstanding."

  "Sorry, I don't know how you judge the concept of an enemy. To us, palace warriors, as long as someone is holding a weapon and pointing it at us, they are an enemy! We, palace warriors, will never allow our lives to be threatened by others..."

  No sooner had he finished speaking than Butterfly Fragrance spat out a mouthful of air like orchids: "Shoot!"

  At the same moment, She Yan's low voice also coldly shouted: "Shoot!"

  The Qingyan Flying Eagle's longbow string in his hand loosened, and the whirring sound rang out instantly. The left scapula of every warrior in each palace was pierced by an arrow, but at the same time, all the Qingyan Flying Eagle soldiers were also pierced through their scapulas. However, the formations of both sides did not disperse, still facing each other silently, only the constantly dripping blood on the ground proved everything that had just happened.

  She Yan himself was also shot by arrows, with blood flowing from his shoulder, but he didn't frown at all, his face as firm as a rock. The row of Qing Yan Fei Ying stepped forward steadily, another row of blue-glowing arrowheads aimed at those angry Gong Dou warriors. Those Gong Dou warriors also re-drew their bows and arrows, taking aim at each other with deadly precision. The air seemed to have been sucked out, almost everyone could imagine that the next round of arrow rain would be a fatal blow to the heart.

  Yang Shuang's eyes widened in anger, and he roared: "Die Feng Wu, why are you doing this? What right do you have to harm my subordinates? What did I, Yang Shuang, ever do to offend you? Why are you acting so recklessly without distinguishing between right and wrong?"

  Butterfly maple danced coldly, looking at him, and said lightly: "Suppressing the rebellion is my duty. The people around you are indeed suspicious... I remind you again, order your subordinates to put down their weapons immediately, otherwise, you will only be able to see them in hell."

  Yang Shuang's mouth corner flowed out a faint trace of blood, and he said in a low and slow voice: "Die Feng Wu, you are not human at all!"

  Butterfly Maple danced coldly and said lightly: "At least 300 people have told me the same thing, but I'm still living well!"

  Tang Zidie sneered coldly: "Yang Suofeng, you'd better think about yourself first. You've committed crimes such as murdering government officials without reason, slandering innocent women, and even inciting rebellion. Each of these charges is enough to have you torn apart by five horses. Do you still hope to stay alive? What a joke!"

  Yang Shuangfeng calmed down instead, and said lightly: "Tang Zhi, I know why you want to put me to death. However, you may not be able to get what you wish for. Those who do many unjust things will inevitably bring about their own downfall. You should understand the meaning of these words."

  Tang Zihai burst out laughing and said with a nonchalant tone: "Is that so? Well, I'll be waiting with bated breath then."

  Butterfly Orchid Dance slowly said, "Yang Su Feng, their lives are in your words, think carefully."

  Yang Shuangfeng let out a long sigh, shook his head and said with emotion: "I finally understand why the empire is like it is today. It's all because of you, esteemed ministers and generals! She Yan, put down your weapons. I don't want to die here without knowing what's going on."

  Xie Yan and others' eyes seemed to be spitting fire, but finally, he fiercely threw his long sword to the ground, and the rest of the palace warriors hesitated for a moment before also putting down their weapons.

  Butterfly Maple smiled coldly and said lightly: "Yang Su Feng, you're clever, knowing the right time is a hero. Take them away, keep a close eye on them, let the doctor treat them, don't hurt their lives! After investigation, each person will receive due punishment!"

  Yang Shuangfen's face was gloomy and she didn't say a word.

  The butterfly maple dance waved its hand, and those green-faced eagles immediately escorted Xie Yan and Monty Yu away. Monty Yu did not resist, Xie Yan struggled with all his might to resist, but where was he a match for these people? They were soon taken away.

  The subordinate who had just been obtained immediately fell into the cage again, Yang Su Feng only felt that his heart was like a knife twist, and in front of him, it seemed like many things were flashing, with dizziness and vertigo, as if he was about to faint. With great difficulty, he barely managed to muster up his spirits, took a deep breath, and said with a bitter smile: "Die Feng Wu, you and I have no grudges or grievances, why do you want to do this? Why do you want to target me? What reason do you have to not let me go?"

  "Butterfly maple dance hand grasping horse whip, faintly pointing outside: 'Yang Suofeng Navy Lieutenant General, please make the concept clear. I am just doing my duty, don't talk nonsense.'"

  Yang Shuangfen silently sighed and said bitterly: "Perform your duties? What duties?"

  Butterfly Maple Dance did not respond, but proudly and coldly waved the horse whip, and two green-faced Flying Eagle officers immediately came up and took Yang Su Feng away.
