614 The Unyielding Mayor Zhou


    The mayor of Dragon’s Gate Town subconsciously put up a defensive stance against the princess.


    It was not to prevent her from suddenly making a move; it was to prevent her from raising some unreasonable conditions.


    the princess could not see his stance and immediately said, “I want someone from Dragon’s Gate Town.”


    “Who do you want?”


    “Ning Caichen.”


    The mayor, Zhou Zheng, narrowed his eyes and said suspiciously, “Princess, ording to my understanding, Ning Caichen has nevere into contact with the Qingmiao Kingdom. When did he offend you?”


    “Are you questioning me?”


    The mayor shook his head, not caring about her anger.


    Although he was the mayor, Dragon’s Gate Town’s status was too special. It was essentially a border town. He was also considered a governor who guarded the border. Naturally, he would not be afraid of a princess of the Qingmiao Kingdom.


    “Your Highness, the people of the Dragon Marquis Kingdom have always been fair and just. If Ning Caichen has done something unforgivable, we will naturally punish him. But if he didn’t do anything treasonous, and it’s just a small conflict, I don’t have the right to capture him. After all, Ning Caichen is the leader of a sect in the Feather Kingdom.”


    Zhou Zheng had already heard the news that Ning Caichen had entered Dragon’s Gate Town. He had also discussed with some people that he would not do anything to him before the Dragon’s Gate Banquet began, whether it was positive or negative.


    However, the situation was different now. The princess had actually asked him to capture Ning Caichen. He did not know what had happened between the two of them to make this princess so angry.


    “It’s very simple. He provoked the person I love the most!”


    Hearing this, Zhou Zheng nodded slightly. He had also heard of this matter. The princess’s lover was the young master of the Divine Eye Sect. Later, he was humiliated by Ning Caichen and was still in a trance.


    If it was an ordinary person, they would have captured him, but the problem was that this Ning Caichen was not an ordinary person.


    “Your Highness, if you want to capture him, you can do so. You can go capture him in Dragon’s Gate Town. We won’t stop you.”


    Zhou Zheng said this, and his meaning was very clear. The princess waspletely dumbfounded.


    “Are you kidding me? Are you saying that you’re just going to watch from the sidelines while I go and capture her?”


    Zhou Zheng did not reply. It was as if all of this had nothing to do with him.


    The princess took a few deep breaths and stared at Zhou Zheng. “Mayor Zhou, please consider this carefully. I am the princess. I am the first princess of the Qingmiao Kingdom. If you don’t listen to me, it will definitely affect the friendship between the Dragon Marquis Kingdom and the Qingmiao Kingdom. Right now, the Dragon Marquis Kingdom is in the process of rising up. If you encounter any mishaps, I would like to see if you can withstand the consequences!”


    Hearing this, Zhou Zheng could not help but narrow his eyes slightly. He said unhappily, “I was wondering what it was. Is that it? Don’t worry, Lord Long has already made it clear that we definitely won’t need any help from anyone. We are all subjects of the Qing emperor and definitely won’t have any dealings with other kingdoms. Of course, if you want to do business, you can do so. However, your kingdom is unable to provide any support for government affairs, so…”


    In the end, Zhou Zheng sneered, causing the princess to instinctively take a step back.


    What was the meaning of this?


    Was he looking down on the Qingmiao Kingdom?


    “Zhou Zheng, are you going to help or not?”


    “Of course not, and you are only allowed to bring your trusted aides to search for him. The army is not allowed to enter, and the number of aides is limited to thirty people. This is already a big favor; don’t be ungrateful!” Zhou Zheng said firmly, causing the other party to be a little stunned.


    “Zhou Zheng, where did you get the confidence to actually dare to disobey me…”


    “Because I am the mayor of Dragon Gate Town, a subject of the Dragon Marquis Kingdom, not a subject of the Qingmiao Kingdom! Foreigners like you should settle your own matters. Don’t drag the Dragon Marquis Kingdom into this.”


    Zhou Zheng’s voice was extremely cold, causing the princess’s expression to change.


    “Zhou Zheng, don’t go too far!”


    “The one who has gone overboard has never been me, but you!”


    Zhou Zheng suddenly stood up and stared into the princess’s eyes.


    “You think that just because you’re the princess and have a close rtionship with the Chosen of the Cultivation Alliance, you can treat the Dragon Marquis Kingdom as if it’s below you. All these years, in order to ensure the safety of therge number of people outside Dragon’s Gate Town, we’ve been patient with the Qingmiao Kingdom, but in the end, what did we get? What we get is nothing more than the Qingmiao Kingdom crossing the line! You’ve crossed the bottom line of the Dragon Marquis Kingdom time and time again. You’ve even tried to use the Dragon’s Gate Town as a shield several times, treating our hundreds of thousands of people as cannon fodder. Do you think that we’re unaware of all this just because you’ve done it so secretly?!”


    His powerful speech made the princess’s eyelids twitch a few times. This time, everyone could not help but narrow their eyes. No one had expected that things would develop to such a stage one day.


    “Zhou Zheng…”


    “Shut up! Also, get out of Dragon’s Gate Town immediately. From today onward, if you dare to step into Dragon’s Gate Town again, the consequences will be unbearable!”


    At this moment, he stared at her and waved his hand to make her retreat.


    The princess quietly watched this scene, then took a few deep breaths before choosing to leave.


    Soon, a figure arrived and asked in a low voice, “Mayor, if we treat the princess like this, I’m afraid the Qingmiao Kingdom will not be kind to us.”


    He was worried that the Qingmiao royal court would make things difficult for him.


    Zhou Zheng sneered and said, “Why do you think I can be disrespectful to her? Was I very respectful to her in the past?”


    When the subordinate heard this, he immediately returned to his senses.


    “Could it be that there are some new instructions from the Dragon Marquis Manor?”


    “No, but that person gave me enough confidence. It is said that Ning Caichen has already obtained that item. As long as he brings it back, the Long family’s strength will rise to another level. They will no longer have to fear the Battle Marquis Manor, the Battle Marquis Kingdom, and the Qing royal family.”


    “That thing?”


    The subordinate did not understand at first, but his pupils quickly shrank. He said in disbelief, “Could it be that Dragon Burial Sword?”


    “Presumptuous! That was the fake sword. It is fine if others called it that, but as a subordinate of Lord Long and a member of the Dragon Marquis Kingdom, how dare you call it that?”


    Zhou Zheng was extremely displeased. His ancestor was of the Longqie General’s lineage, so he naturally respected Longqie General greatly.
