However, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on.

Even though Chen Qingzhu was unwilling to sacrifice too many lower-class people, undercurrents were still surging in several prefectures north of Daming Prefecture.

The first is Guangping Prefecture, which is adjacent to Daming Prefecture.

A few days after the imperial guards withdrew from Guangping, someone came to ask to see Hui'an, who was stationed in Daming Prefecture.

"General, this man gave a lot of silver, claiming to be from a prominent family in Guangping, and has something important to report to you."

Hui'an's skills far surpassed those of ordinary people, and he was not afraid of being assassinated, so he thought for a moment and said:

"Put it in!"

Soon, the person who wanted to see him arrived at the general's tent.

The man was about forty years old, dressed in an elegant manner of a scholar. When he saw Hui'an, the female commander, he did not show any surprise or disdain.

Instead, he flatters me as soon as they meet without any obstacles:

"I have long heard of General Hui'an's great name. Seeing him today, I am impressed by his extraordinary bravery! He is worthy of being the most powerful general under the command of the God!"

As he spoke, he presented a gorgeously decorated and priceless sword to Hui'an, saying that a sword worthy of a hero would not be covered in dust if it was in Hui'an's hands.

Hui An didn't like these fake scenes and said coldly:

"Please take your things back. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

The scholar then revealed his origins and said that he was the cousin of the head of the Xie family in the city.

Hui'an already had some understanding of the situation in Guangping Prefecture.

The Xie family is considered one of the top three families in Guangping Prefecture, but it is only ranked third and its strength is far inferior to that of the previous two families.

The Xie family has a good reputation among the people. In recent years, there have been few dirty things that have been exposed. They often provide porridge and recruit workers to help the people.

But the cousin of the Xie family's patriarch came to convey the following message:

"Like the people in the city, the Xie family has long been loyal to the Divine Lord. When they learned that the Divine Lord's army was approaching Guangping Prefecture, they were overjoyed and wanted to do something for the Du'e Army."

"My humble family has some popularity and appeal in the city. We have secretly organized the people who are loyal to the God and the servants of the Xie family, and are ready to cooperate with the Du'e Army to launch a surprise attack on the Imperial Guards at any time."

Hui'an is not ignorant of the ways of the world. The Xie family's attitude is so flattering. It is definitely not that they are truly loyal to the master, but they have ulterior motives.

She looked at the man with a scrutinizing gaze:

"What does your Xie family want?"

Hearing her ask so bluntly, the cousin of the Xie family master had no choice but to speak frankly:

"Of course, I want to ask for a share of the credit for following the dragon."

After that, he showed Hui'an the strength of the Xie family:

How much food and property he has? How many people and servants can he call upon to fight? He also has people in the imperial guards.

In short, they can provide great help to the Du'e Army in entering the city.

Hui'an thought of the uprising people in Daming Prefecture who died at the hands of the imperial guards, and felt a little disgusted.

One will be a million bones.

In order to help the Xie family achieve the goal of following the emperor, how many poor people in the city will die at the hands of the imperial guards.

"Go back and tell your family master that the God and the Du'e Army don't need you to do this."

"When the time comes, our Du'e Army will march into the city. Please don't act on your own."

The cousin of the Xie family master was also a smart man. Hearing this, he realized that Hui'an had a hidden meaning and quickly expressed his opinion:

"General, rest assured. Even if we did something, you will be the first to take down Guangping City. We in the Xie family don't mind following your lead in the future!"

Hui'an frowned.

"This general is not worried that you will steal the credit. This is the will of the God."

Worried that they would not listen to her advice, she emphasized:

The God does not want to sacrifice too many innocent people.

Of course, this is not something that can be said out loud, otherwise the people will become hostages in the hands of the court.

However, even though she emphasized this, she still couldn't defeat the Xie family's desire to follow the dragon.

The cousin of the Xie family head sneaked back to Guangping City and discussed with several core members of the Xie family. They all agreed:

"The Du'e Army has had very few tough battles on its way north. This female general is definitely afraid that we will snatch her chance to make a contribution!"
