Chapter 107: Feng Xiyan’s Anger
In the evening, news of the failed rebellion reached Xiqiang City.
Walking into the commander’s tent in a hurry, Ding Zhenshun said, "Great General, bad news!"
Hearing this, Feng Xiyan looked up from the bamboo scroll he was reading and saw the tense expression on Ding Zhenshun’s face.
Placing the scroll down, he asked, "General Ding, what’s happened?"
Ding Zhenshun clasped his fists and said, "Great General, this subordinate just received a report from one of our spies. The commoners in Xiquan City began rebelling this afternoon, but the uprising was suppressed by Ji Hui in less than two hours."
Feng Xiyan’s eyes flickered coldly at his words. After a moment of silence, he asked, "How many casualties?"
Ding Zhenshun took a deep breath before replying, "We don’t know the exact number, but it’s estimated that at least thousands of commoners joined the rebellion. Only a few women and children managed to escape Xiquan City during the uprising."
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Xiyan slammed the table in anger. "How dare he?! Didn’t he know the reason why the commoners rebelled?!"
Seeing his anger, Ding Zhenshun quickly said, "Great General, please calm down."
Hearing this, Feng Xiyan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After regaining his composure, he looked at Ding Zhenshun and asked, "What is the current situation in Xiquan City?"
Ding Zhenshun pulled a small letter from his waistband and handed it to Feng Xiyan.
