Chapter 257：Come to apologize

The crimson-blooded army was quietly waiting outside the city gate. 

At this moment, the guard galloped back from the lord's residence, scrambling up to the city tower in a hurry. Looking at the endless red-blooded iron cavalry, his heart couldn't help but tremble again. 

"Get out of the way? Apologize?" 

This guard felt a bitter taste in his mouth. If he were to say that they should go and apologize, would these people kill him? 

"Speak." 

Suddenly, a voice that was extremely domineering burst forth, causing his eardrums to vibrate violently. The guard shuddered all over and then closed his eyes, shouting: "The Lord Mayor said that you should all go over there and apologize." 

After shouting this word, the guard felt his body relax and a sense of relief wash over him. But the others on the battlements of the city gate all tightened their gazes. Their bodies tensed up. Damn it! This damned bastard howled like this. The Crimson Blood Iron Cavalry heard this sound and all fell silent. Immediately, a surging aura of malevolence condensed into a towering force, like a roaring hurricane, sweeping towards the people inside the city, making the crowd feel their bodies freezing and numbing with cold. 

It's so cold. This evil energy is extremely chilly. It makes one's body tremble with cold. 

Lin Feng was sitting astride Long Ju, and the horse's hooves were moving slowly forward. "Nalan Xiong, you look so calm and composed!" 

Under the mask of authority, a hint of smile appeared in Lin Feng's eyes. He said calmly, "Let's go to the Lord Mayor's residence. We'll pay a visit and apologize." 

"Yes!" A chorus of voices shouted in unison, their voices resounding with power. The long spear pointed at Yangzhou City. 

Lin Feng's voice was not loud, but the guards at the city gate and the people in the city heard it. These words of coming to apologize made them feel a bit cold. The person riding the magnificent dragon horse must be the so-called Red Blood Commander, so imposing! With a few words, the three armies obeyed the orders. 

"Boom, Boom, Boom!" 

The earth shook and trembled once again, roaring ceaselessly, with iron horses galloping. This rumbling sound was like a series of dull thunderclaps, constantly reverberating in the hearts of the crowd. 

The iron cavalry turned into a long red dragon and galloped into Yangzhou City, speeding along the main road within the city. 

At this moment, Yangzhou City was completely in a state of frenzy. No one dared to stand in the middle of the main road and everyone was trying to avoid it. 

"Such a powerful army! Where is this army from? Why did they come to Yangzhou?" 

In the hearts of people in Yangzhou City, doubts arose. Those who witnessed the iron cavalry galloping past them with their eyes were seized by intense tremors of emotion. It was so imposing and terrifying that merely passing by them made their legs tremble, and some even dared not move at all. 

In the lord's mansion, there was still a scene of great jubilation and festivity, extremely lively. 

Just at this moment, the earth seemed to tremble slightly, causing the people chatting and laughing in the city lord's mansion to cast their eyes in concentration and frown slightly. 

Immediately afterwards, the sound of galloping horsemen kept coming, a continuous and unceasing rumble. 

"What's going on?" 

"What's the matter here?" 

One by one, they all stood up. Their gazes were fixed. What a commotion! What happened? 

Nalan Xiong's eyebrows also furrowed. His gaze looked towards the direction of the Lord Mayor's residence, with a look of deep thought on his face. 

"Father, let them pass. With Du Jie alone here, even if they come, they'll be here to apologize." 

Seeing Nalan Xiong frown, Nalan Feng chuckled and said, "Even a person of such status as Zuo Gū Xiaohé would not be afraid of such a small army." 

"Um." 

Nalan Xiong gave a slight nod and then continued, "Come on, everyone, keep drinking. They've come here to apologize." 

Everyone chimed in in agreement, but their hearts were somewhat uneasy. Was this really a plea for forgiveness? How did they feel? There was a coldness constantly wafting from afar, as if it were some kind of evil aura. 

The rumbling sound grew louder and louder. Outside the Lord Mayor's residence, the guards stationed at the gate of the residence saw the red-clad cavalry galloping towards them from afar. Their eyes froze there. 

The crimson armor and the crimson steeds, imposing and cold in their demeanor, made their hearts tremble violently. 

In just a moment, the vast army, stretching as far as the eye could see, advanced to the outskirts of the lord's residence. 

"Boom!" 

A deafening explosion was heard, and a fierce slashing sound was carried by the wind. The main gate of the Lord's Mansion was directly shattered and split open by a single blow. 

"Boom!" 

The tremors kept coming one after another. Everything in front of the mansion was instantly destroyed. Anything that hindered the iron cavalry was annihilated in an instant. 

Trampling over the ruined things, the iron cavalry marched into the city lord's mansion. Although the place was vast and boundless, the iron cavalry were extremely orderly and there was not the slightest feeling of disorder. 

Those guards were completely buried under the warhorses at this moment. One after another, the iron-clad cavalrymen passed by them, making them stand still as if they could be trampled to death at any moment by the iron-clad cavalrymen. But those endless iron-clad cavalrymen passed by precisely and without touching them at all. They only kept terrifying and shaking them. 

The lord's mansion was in a complete chaos. The crowd was shouting and running around. This powerful army made them lose their minds and hearts in terror. 

On the vast open ground, the merriment and laughter of the banquet finally ceased. It was not drowned out by the sounds of the cavalry charge, but because no one could laugh any longer. 

The crowd all stood up and looked at the continuous imposing cavalrymen that kept coming into view. They felt their hearts, which had never fluctuated so violently for decades, shudder violently. 

The Iron Blooded Army is merely an army of incomparably great strength, capable of effortlessly destroying everything. 

Those people on the horseback, just by looking at them for a moment, would make their hearts tremble violently. 

Among these people, none were mediocre. All were elite troops. And such an elite force appeared in Yangzhou City, right before their eyes. 

This group of cavalrymen transformed into a swirling serpent, surrounding the crowd tightly like a bucket that is completely unbreakable and impossible to escape from. It was as if they had wings but still couldn't fly away. 

Nowadays, not a single person can go out. 

With just a shout of command from these tens of thousands of elite cavalrymen, they could shake people to the core of their being, causing their hearts and livers to burst. 

Nalan Xiong felt his heart quiver slightly. Could such a powerful army come to apologize? 

Du Geng Xiao's brows were tightly knitted. He put down the wine cup, stood up and then slowly walked towards the crowd in front of the iron cavalry. 

Looking at the stern-looking soldier in full armor and wearing a helmet, I saw that his expression was cold and his voice was icy. He said coldly, "What nerve you have! You are the Red Blood Iron Cavalry. Why are you here in Yangzhou City?" 

The Crimson Blood Cavalry, the elite troops of the Snow Moon Kingdom! 

The crowd shuddered again. No wonder! The red horses and the red armors. This legion was actually the powerful Red Blood Iron Cavalry. 

No one paid any attention to Yu. When he looked at Du Jiu Xiao, his gaze was as if he were looking at a little clown. This made Du Jiu Xiao's eyes flash a cold light. He felt very embarrassed. 

Especially, not long ago he boasted in public with great confidence and authority. 

"Who is your leader? Come out and meet me." 

Douxiao once again shouted, "Although I feel a bit uneasy in my heart at this moment, the pride that belongs to the Douxiao family does not allow me to let the dignity of the Douxiao family be undermined." 

In the Nalan family, everyone treated Du Jiusao with the utmost respect and reverence. He himself was extremely proud and imposing, and even ordered the Red Blood Cavalry to come and apologize. At this moment, how could he back down? 

Nalan Feng stood beside Du Jiu Xia, her gaze coldly surveying the crowd. A sense of pride welled up in her heart. In the Du family, no one dared to offend them. Even the Red Blood Iron Cavalry couldn't do it. This was her man. 

"Such audacity! How dare you break into the lord of the city's residence without permission?" 

Nalan Feng gave a stern scolding. With the dignity of a female hero, she was surprisingly not afraid at all. Because beside her stood someone from the Douxiong family. 

"Come out to see him? What nerve you have!" 

Lin Feng's eyes flashed a trace of mockery. He spurred his horse forward and slowly emerged. The bronze mask was grotesque and cold. His gaze ignored Douxiao and Nalan Feng and fell upon Nalan Xiong instead. 

"Lord Nalan Xiong of Yangzhou City, you sent someone to invite me here to apologize?" 

Nalan Xiong's gaze narrowed. "Lin Feng, how could you have known him?" 

His brows knitted tightly together, but then Du Jiu Xia shouted again: "I'm talking to you. Didn't you hear me?" 

Lin Feng glanced at Du Jiu Xiaowei for a moment. Another arrogant fellow, completely reckless. 

"What the hell are you?" 

Lin Feng gave a stern scolding, causing everyone's gazes to narrow. 

Dou Guxiao's gaze also froze for a moment. He felt extremely embarrassed and ashamed, and as a result, a cold light flickered in his eyes. 

"My surname is Guoju!" 

Dujiu Xia said coldly, causing a strange expression to flash in Lin Feng's eyes. Dujiu? 

No wonder it felt somewhat familiar. It was somewhat similar to Du Jiu'an. Looking at Du Jiu'an, Lin Feng's mask beneath the bronze armor showed a faint smile. 

"So what?" 

"Du Geng from the Du Geng family of the Imperial City." Du Geng said sternly. 

"From the noble family of the Grandees." Nalan Feng also spoke up, her voice filled with pride. 

"Now, kneel down and beg for forgiveness. I can pretend that nothing happened today." 

When Du Gengxiao heard the word "duke", a look of pride appeared on his face. 

"House of the nobles?" Lin Feng murmured, lowering his head and looking at Douxiao with a cold expression. He saw that Douxiao's head was even more arrogantly high. Yes, House of the nobles, the Douxiao family. 

"Cut off one of his arms." 

Lin Feng lifted his gaze, his voice was cold and distant. In an instant, the entire space seemed to freeze!
