Volume 3 Baoling Prefecture Chapter 80 Showing off your might

It was late at night when Mu Chen and the others finished dinner, and the group returned to Weifu in a hurry, the road was dimly lit, there were few pedestrians, and the wings behind Coco were no longer the focus, which made the sisters a lot easier, and they didn't need to protect her all the way.

"Mu Chen, what do you have plans for in the future, will we continue to spend it like this?" Jia Yue leaned over to him and asked.

"Of course, it will take some time to deal with the opposition of the human race, and besides, we have to go to Longya Mountain, so I have other plans. ā€

"Longya Mountain... Longya Mountain?, that's—" Jiayue was so surprised that she shouted.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"Lord Mu Chen, what does Longya Mountain mean?"

"Okay, don't ask, things have to be done one by one, and we'll talk about the matter of Longya Mountain later. ā€

As soon as the name of Dragon Cliff Mountain appeared, the two sisters and Coco showed frightened expressions at the same time. In this world, the prestige of Longya Mountain is well known, as the habitat of the dragon clan, it has always been a mysterious place, although some people try to find out, but whether it is a mercenary or a human, at most can only reach the foot of the mountain, often even the face of the dragon clan has not touched the Yellow Spring, the explorer who is fortunate enough to survive and resurrect only remembers the fear, and even the specific experience can not be fully recounted.

Dragons can soar in the sky without fear, they don't care about any threat in the air and on the ground, as long as they want to, nothing is indestructible. Not only the human continent, but sometimes even the major tribes of the wasteland, not for prey, but simply to show their strength and deliberately provoke. And the Spirit Race, which is also a flying race, has a fear of the dragon race from blood, and they are the absolute overlords of the air, so they can only avoid it. Therefore, although the sisters and Keke knew about Mu Chen's past with the Dragon Clan, and had also seen the Black Dragon and the Golden Dragon with their own eyes, they still couldn't believe that he was going to Dragon Cliff Mountain, which was tantamount to suicide in their hearts.

Mu Chen didn't explain more, he ended the topic when he saw the expressions of the three of them, what he was thinking about in his heart hadn't taken the first step, it was too early to tell the story.

In the middle of the night, Baoling City is quiet and peaceful, and if it weren't for the various shops on both sides of the road, no one would have thought of its busyness during the day.

The group enjoyed the comfort of not being noticed, but the sound of horses' hooves behind them gradually became louder and louder, the lights of the houses on both sides followed, the windows opened, and the residents poked their heads out to find the source of the sound.

In a moment, a neatly arranged cavalry appeared at the end of the street, they were not fast, but because of the huge number, the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the stones was deafening, Mu Chen watched them gradually approach, and the big banner of "Liu" came into view, and he immediately pulled up everyone and hid in the aisle between the houses.

"Mu Chen, what are we hiding for, why are there so many cavalry in the middle of the night. Before Chunyue could see the words on the flag, she was pulled in by Mu Chen.

"The cavalry of the Liu family is probably coming to me, and we want them to make a bigger move, and we will reappear. ā€

"This is obviously here to show off your might, if you don't go out to frustrate their prestige, why are you still hiding?" Jia Yue didn't understand what Mu Chen meant.

"A lord, there are thousands of private soldiers, and all of them are cavalry. The city lords of the states have always held the military power firmly in their own hands, and the garrison department has stationed troops in various places to defend the major lords against demonic beasts, lest they recruit the township to support their own troops and threaten the state government. Moreover, the trade of military materials was also strictly controlled, especially war horses, all state cities had clear regulations, and those who raised war horses must be registered with the noble council and supervised by the garrison. This Liu Yi first stepped on Quan Yuren's bottom line, Coco, you will be able to move soon. ā€

As Mu Chen expected, three thousand cavalry entered the city, such a big movement, not only the people in the city felt abnormal, but even the garrison defending the city felt threatened, these cavalry were not under the jurisdiction of the garrison, one city, two armies, no one dared to guarantee that they would be safe.

When the director of the garrison department received the news, he immediately ordered the arrest of the guard of the south gate, and then rushed to the council overnight, and happened to meet the worried full name, so the two went to see Quan Yuren together and reported the matter.

Quan Yuren had been asleep because of a headache, and after being woken up by Lao Chen, he was in a bad mood and reproached: "What's the matter, didn't you tell you not to see anyone, you..."

"Master, the director of the garrison department and the young master came together, it seems that something big has happened. ā€

"What's more? Quan Yuren complained twice, and raised his hand to signal Lao Chen to let them in.

As soon as the two of them entered the door, they didn't even salute, and asked directly: "Old city lord, the three thousand cavalry of the Liu family entered the city late at night, the purpose is unknown, how should we deal with it?"

"Father, he, Liu Yixian, is obviously here to demonstrate, you have to be prepared. ā€

"Wait... Wait, what are you talking about, the three thousand cavalry of the Liu family? What does this mean?" Quan Yuren rubbed his forehead, still a little confused.

The director of the Department of Garrison will explain the cause and effect clearly, and ask Quan Yuren to make a decision as soon as possible.

"Gather the garrison and the council guards, surround them, and command them to withdraw from the city at once, and if they resist, kill them. ā€

Quan Yuren is really murderous, it is a taboo to support the army and respect himself, and now he dares to take the initiative to come to the door to pressure, which is tantamount to despising his position as the city lord, if he retreats in this matter, the foundation laid in the past thirty years will be destroyed, and other nobles will no longer respect him.

The director of the garrison department left after receiving the order, and Quan Mingde seized the opportunity to further persuade him, persuading him to hurry up and fall to Mu Chen, the Liu family's intention to rebel is clear, if he continues to sit idly by, he will really become an outsider.

Regarding Mu Chen, the two fathers and sons reversed their positions in one day, it turned out that they had always been full of praise and benevolence, but now they were the opposite, sycophants were timid, full of resentment but actively fought for it, in the face of interests, the position was really just a rhetoric.

Liu Mingtong led the cavalry straight to the Wei Mansion, during which he ordered someone to go to the residence of the lord of the ghoul tomb to negotiate, in his eyes, this matter did not need him to come forward in person, the lord saw the battle of the Liu family, and would obediently hand over the title deed and complete the transaction.

Mu Chen and all the cavalry passed, and took everyone to deliberately detour a little far, he wanted to leave more response time for Quan Yuren, and it was best to make the city full of wind and rain, and become the talking point of all kinds of characters on the streets and alleys tomorrow.

The spies of the Wei Mansion reported the news of the Liu family's army entering the city in time, and Wei Gonglu immediately sent someone to the council to ask for help, saying that the Liu family's army intended to attack the Imperial Association Prison Tongcheng Mansion, and asked the old city lord to send troops to rescue him quickly.

He called Wei Rou again, he knew that the Liu family was coming to Mu Chen, but everyone was not in the mansion, Wei Gonglu was afraid that Liu Mingtong would really do something out of bounds, so the uncle and nephew decided after discussing that they would mainly appease their emotions and delay time, and not clash with him head-on.

With the arrival of the cavalry, Wei Gonglu straightened his clothes and waited for the attendants to report.

Liu Mingtong ordered the cavalry to surround the guards, especially the main road at the front gate, which was crowded with snorting war horses, and after the encirclement was deployed, he stared at the trembling guards in front of the mansion gate, and asked them to invite Lord Mu Chen.

After a few minutes, Wei Gonglu took Wei Rou out, and the two knew their situation, if they still regarded themselves as high-ranking officials, they were afraid of stimulating the soldiers of the Liu family and storming the mansion, so they had to go out to greet each other to show equality.

Liu Mingtong rode on a war horse, reported to his home, and then waved his hand holding the horsewhip as a return gift.

"Lord Imperial Eunuch, Mrs. Young City Lord, I don't know when Lord Mu Chen will come out to meet?" Liu Mingtong lowered his head and asked, his attitude was arrogant, and he didn't take the two of them seriously at all.

Wei Gonglu held back his anger, raised his head and replied politely: "Young Master Liu, Mu Chen and the Patriarch and others have not returned from their homes, I don't know what you are looking for him?"

"Grandfather ordered me to personally hand over the spirit stone to Lord Mu Chen, since he hasn't come back yet, I will wait here, if there is any trouble, I hope you two will forgive me. ā€

"Why don't you wait with the old man in the house, I think they should be back soon." ā€

"Lord Xie's kindness, I'm afraid your house can't accommodate my entourage, please." After that, the cavalry that followed Liu Mingtong drove forward, forcing Wei Gonglu's uncle and nephew to retreat again and again.

"Uncle, slow down, they..."

"It's okay, just look at it, the days of their Liu family's scenery will end soon. With Wei Rou's support, Wei Gonglu walked back to the house.

The closer Mu Chen got to Wei Mansion, the slower his pace became, which made Jiayue very depressed, and finally stopped in front of an intersection and asked loudly: "Mu Chen, we are detouring again, and we are moving forward at a turtle speed, what are you waiting for, the sound of horses' hooves has also disappeared, if we don't go back, can Wei Gonglu and Wei Rou deal with it?"

"Shhh Mu Chen didn't answer, but stared intently at the intersection of another block.

Everyone focused their attention on the direction that Mu Chen was staring at, and vaguely heard someone giving orders, and then the sound of heavy footsteps came down the ground, and after a while, the firelight illuminated the intersection, and finally the garrison defending the city appeared in military uniforms and with a unified pace, and they were ordered to assemble and drive away the Liu cavalry.

"Alright, let's go back. Mu Chen pulled Jiayue and ran, turning around and smiling at her as he ran, and the others hurriedly followed when they saw the two running away.

When they arrived near the Wei Mansion, they found that the cavalry had blocked the way into the mansion, so Mu Chen had no choice but to approach quietly with his sisters, and then used the war horse as a springboard, jumped to the wall of the mansion, and ran along the courtyard wall to the gate. Kiruna followed behind with Murphy in her arms, and the cavalry reacted as she moved, preventing her from making it to the wall, so she simply stepped on the top and shoulders of the cavalry next to each other and jumped towards the door. Faced with this situation, Coco was relatively simple, she flew directly into the air and followed behind Mu Chen.

After a commotion, several people arrived at the door, Mu Chen stood on the top beam of the gate, looked down at Liu Mingtong, and asked contemptuously, "Are you looking for me?"
