Chapter 186 The Power of Ants
"Your Highness, what are you saying? Although there were some unpleasant things before, we are still subjects of our Great Liang Dynasty."
Those people cursed inwardly when they saw Yang Ling's appearance, and then hurriedly said something.
Yang Ling's glance just now almost scared him to death.
At this moment, he felt fortunate that he had not acted rashly, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"In that case, I thank you for your kindness."
However, I'm used to a leisurely life, so if you have nothing else to do, just stay put and do your own thing. And please, don't go looking for trouble.
Upon hearing his words, Yang Ling smiled and said, but a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
"Uh……"
Those people were stunned when they heard Yang Ling's words.
The crowd looked at each other in bewilderment. After a long while, an older man stepped forward.
"Your Highness, now is not the time to be willful. You should go back to His Majesty, apologize to him, and let this matter rest. It would be better for everyone, wouldn't you say?"
Yang Ling's actions have reached an irreparable point, and now all we can do is pray that the Ninth Prince will stop.
If this continues, the entire Great Liang Dynasty might really...
Upon hearing this, Yang Ling gave a cold laugh, immediately stood up, and turned to leave without looking back.
Those people stood there looking at each other, and although they were very dissatisfied, they didn't dare to even breathe loudly at this moment.
"Go and report to the lord; now it is up to the lord to take action personally."
One of them spoke up, a helpless expression on his face.
"Yes."
The others nodded, then dispersed and walked outside.
……
After Yang Ling came out, he took Li Qing to an inn not far away.
Although I haven't found the person I'm looking for, I shouldn't be discouraged.
After all, Bingzhou has its own strength.
"Your Highness, what are our plans next?"
Li Qing looked at Yang Ling. He knew that the previous plan had failed, but things had come to this point, and he couldn't just leave Bingzhou so soon.
"Just wait, someone will be coming to find us soon."
Yang Ling looked confident. He was well aware of the nature of those people in the imperial court. The news of his presence in Bingzhou should have already spread, and the governor of Bingzhou would arrive soon.
"Yes, Your Highness."
After hearing Yang Ling's words, Li Qing nodded without saying anything more.
After the two of them asked for a room, they sat down.
Soon, there was a knock on the door. Li Qing glanced at Yang Ling, who nodded slightly, and he immediately went to open the door.
Is His Highness the Ninth Prince inside?
The person standing outside the door was dressed in official robes and had a warm smile on his face.
"you are?"
Li Qing looked at the newcomer with a puzzled expression, after all, the person in front of him looked somewhat unfamiliar.
"Sir, I am the steward of the Bingzhou Prefectural Governor's Office. Our master invites His Highness."
The manager looked at Li Qing, then took out his waist token and showed it to him, saying...
"So you're from the Prefect's office. Please wait a moment."
Li Qing nodded, then said to Yang Ling inside, "Your Highness, the people from the Prefect's Office have arrived. Shall we go now?"
"Go, why not."
Yang Ling stood up, a slight smile appearing on her lips.
"Please lead the way."
……
Yang Ling followed the steward to a room in the backyard of the Bingzhou government office.
As soon as he entered, he felt himself being locked onto by someone's divine sense.
A smile appeared on Yang Ling's lips as she sat down with an air of nonchalance, seemingly oblivious to the danger.
A short while later, led by the steward, a middle-aged man in official robes strode in. This man was none other than Qin Tian, the governor of Bingzhou.
"Your Highness, I, Qin, have failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me."
Upon seeing Yang Ling, Qin Tian spoke with utmost respect.
"Lord Qin, there's no need for such formalities between us."
Yang Ling glanced at him, a slight smile appearing on her lips, and then said calmly.
"It's natural."
Qin Tian smiled slightly. He had heard of Yang Ling's name before. Among the princes in the court, Yang Ling was probably the only one with such abilities.
However, he was very curious as to why Yang Ling had come to Bingzhou.
"Now that Your Highness has come to Bingzhou, you are a distinguished guest of Bingzhou. Please feel free to give any instructions."
Qin Tian looked at Yang Ling with a slight smile on his face.
"My trip to Bingzhou this time is a private visit. What business could I possibly have? It's nothing more than sightseeing."
Yang Ling looked at Qin Tian and said calmly.
"If that's the case, then that's good. You can let me know anytime if you need anything."
Upon hearing his words, Qin Tian smiled, then turned to the person outside and shouted, "Li Fu, quickly prepare a table of good food and wine."
"Yes, sir, I will take care of it right away."
Upon hearing Qin Tian's words, the steward named Li Fu immediately turned and left.
Soon the food and wine were served. Yang Ling looked at the wine with a hint of disdain on his face, then picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
……
At this moment, in a secret room in the backyard of the Qin residence, a middle-aged man who looked very wealthy was sitting there.
This man was Zhang Tian, a staff member in Bingzhou Prefecture.
Zhang Tian was a renowned strategist in the Great Liang Dynasty. Although he was young, he was ruthless.
He once killed his own father for his own selfish gain.
Furthermore, he committed many heinous acts in Bingzhou, and if it weren't for Qin Tian's protection, he would probably be dead long ago.
Although this person was ostensibly a staff member in Bingzhou Prefecture, he was actually Qin Tian's right-hand man. Zhang Tian controlled all of the Qin family's affairs in Bingzhou.
"Young Master, I've taken care of what you asked me to do. Now we just need to wait for that kid's corpse."
Sitting in front of Zhang Tian was a young man, Qin Tian's son and only son, Qin Haoxuan.
Although he was still young, he was a notorious playboy in Bingzhou.
His favorite thing to do is to take advantage of his father's power and do many heinous things.
"That's good. I'd like to see how that kid manages to escape from us."
Qin Haoxuan said with a smug look on his face.
At this moment, he became interested in Yang Ling.
This is a prince, after all. If I can kill him, my father will probably be very happy and treat me even better.
"Young Master is right. As long as we seize the opportunity, what does it matter if we kill him?"
A ruthless glint flashed in Zhang Tian's eyes. To him, human life was nothing more than an ant.
