Chapter 202: Troops in the City
Under the leadership of Zhao Qing, the three of them soon got out of the ghost maze forest and came to the outside of a small city.
The city is quite tightly guarded, and there are not only many martial arts sentry posts in the city. Even at the gate of the city, there were dozens of martial cultivators patrolling back and forth, and passing martial cultivators, merchants, and even ordinary people had to be searched and confirmed before they could enter the city. This kind of defense doesn't seem to be able to fly even a fly.
"You, what are you doing?"
Suddenly, a large group of people pulled a cart full of things towards the city, but soon, their team was intercepted by Wu Xiu, who was guarding the gate.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard and simple clothes. He bowed to the guards at the gate of the city and said respectfully, "We have come to transport grain to the city, and we have already obtained the approval of the city lord. ”
"Where's the token?"
The guard at the head glanced at the people beside the carriage with a look of suspicion on his face.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man fumbled in his arms for a while, then took out a square token engraved with strange patterns and handed it to the guard.
The guard at the head took the token, observed it head-on for a long time, and then rubbed it with his hand for a while, which eliminated a little vigilance. Then, he waved his hand at the guards behind him.
Immediately, two people ran to the carriage from behind, took out the daggers in their arms, and stabbed them on a bag of sacks on the carriage. I saw that after the sack was punctured by a dagger, some grain leaked out of it. The guard caught the leaking grain with his hand, rubbed it for a while, and then leaned in to smell it, and then he was much more relieved.
"Let's go inside. The guard at the head nodded and looked at the people in front of him.
Hearing this, those people dared to pull the carriage into the city.
"Oh my God, why are the defenses so tight?"
Seeing the scene in front of the city, Han Qianyu couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
The queue into the city lined up for hundreds of meters, and many were intercepted along the way.
"There's no way, the army in Suoyun City and the Phantom Fox Clan are about to start a war, and all defensive measures must be taken to prevent the city from being mixed with the spies of the Phantom Fox Clan. Zhao Qing spread his hands helplessly.
"Then how do we get in?" asked Han Qianyu.
"Rest assured, I have the token. Zhao Qing said indifferently.
After that, Zhao Qing took Han Qianyu and Yan Mantian to the city, and they directly bypassed the team and walked towards the city gate.
"Vice General Zhao. ”
The guards at the city gate saw Zhao Qing and bowed down one after another.
"You're welcome, get up. Zhao Qing said.
Hearing this, the guards stood up one by one.
Seeing this, Zhao Qing took Han Qianyu and Yan Mantian to the door, but before they took a few steps, Han Qianyu and Yan Mantian were intercepted by the guards at the door.
"What are you doing here?"
Seeing those guards make such a move, Zhao Qing's face sank and he scolded angrily.
"Vice General Zhao is angry, the city lord has an order, and suspicious people are not allowed to enter the city. The first guard said to Zhao Qing.
"They're my friends, can't they?" Zhao Qing asked, glancing at the guard.
"Vice Admiral Zhao, even if they are your friends, they can't do it without the City Token or the City Lord's Edict. We are acting impartially, and we hope that Vice General Zhao will not embarrass us. "Defend the weak road at the head.
Zhao Qing looked a little embarrassed, he glanced at Han Qianyu and Yan Mantian, and then said confidently, "We were ordered by the city lord to investigate the Phantom Fox clan, delaying the military plane, can you afford it?"
Seeing that Zhao Qing was furious, the guards were all shocked, and the first guard said, "Since it is the order of the city lord, we naturally don't dare to intercept it, give way!"
After saying this, more than a dozen martial cultivators dispersed one after another, making way for Han Qianyu and the others.
Zhao Qing is a celebrity around the city lord, and several guards are naturally self-aware, if they offend Zhao Qing, their future road will not be easy. Moreover, Zhao Qing was seriously injured, and what he said did not seem to be false.
Seeing that these guards finally gave in, Zhao Qing took Han Qianyu and the others towards the city, and he looked quite serious so as not to be noticed by others.
"Two, you can find an inn in the city now, I will go back to the city lord and come back to you later. Zhao Qing said to Han Qianyu and the others.
Han Qianyu nodded.
"This is the city token, you can come and go freely with it, and it is easy to find me. However, it's better to wait for me to come and meet you. ”
After Zhao Qing finished speaking, he took out the token from his arms and handed it to Han Qianyu.
Han Qianyu took the token and asked, "Is it really okay if you don't have a token?"
Zhao Qing shook his head and said, "I am the deputy general next to the city lord, and most of the people in the city recognize me, so I don't need this token." ”
"The two of you must be hungry too, why don't you find an inn nearby to eat?" Zhao Qing said.
Han Qianyu took the token, and Zhao Qing saw it, so he left with confidence.
Han Qianyu and Yan Mantian found a nearby inn, found an empty seat in the inn, and began to eat after ordering a meal.
The non-stop hurry, coupled with the battle in the ghost forest, Han Qianyu was hungry and thirsty, and when he saw these foods, he naturally couldn't help but eat them.
Just when Han Qianyu was eating, the discussion of the two men on the seat next to him made him stop his appetite.
"Hey, have you heard? The city lord is going to send troops to the ghost forest today to exterminate the ghost fox clan. ”
The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes said first.
"Really?"
The other, slightly younger man, was a little unconvinced.
"Isn't it, it's all announced to the whole city, and the matter is quite big, I'll watch it again. ”
After saying this, he grabbed the wine glass next to him and drank it all.
"It's really good, the Charm Fox clan has done a lot of evil, and it should have died a long time ago, even if it was exterminated, it was deserved. The young man snickered.
However, Han Qianyu didn't dare to agree with this, he knew that there was a reason for the contradictions and disputes between the Phantom Fox Clan and the people in Suoyun City, if he didn't stop this war in time, it would definitely lead to a big mistake, and it would be out of control, and in the end, it would only cheapen those who were in the trap.
"You stupid boy, are you really concerned about this?"
Yan Mantian raised his wine glass and drank it nonchalantly.
"Uncle, since this is a misunderstanding, I must come forward to stop it, I can't watch the conflict intensify. Han Qianyu said very seriously,
"Whatever you want, it's just that this is a private matter of the locals, and we others should not interfere, and we don't have the ability to interfere. Yan Mantian continued to eat.
Han Qianyu screamed bitterly, "Uncle, I can't just watch the tragedy unfold and be indifferent. ”
Yan Mantian paused, his expression was stagnant, and he secretly said in his heart, "This kid is the same virtue as his father, and he likes to meddle in things, so I will follow your wishes." ”
"Do you really want to care?" Yan Mantian asked.
"Yes. Han Qianyu nodded seriously, her eyes burning.
"Okay, I'll try my best, if it doesn't work, we won't wade in this muddy water, we can slip away. You remember, our goal is the Spiritual Hidden Stone, not to do good, which is done by the gods. ”
"I see. Han Qianyu responded.
Just as Han Qianyu and Yan Mantian began to eat, they heard thunder outside.
Rumble ......
Han Qianyu put down the dishes and chopsticks, ran to the door of the inn, and looked outside.
On the avenue, a troop was advancing violently, and those soldiers were all armed with sharp weapons, swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and their expressions were extremely solemn.
The leader of the generals rode horses, showing off their might, while the soldiers in the rear followed in small steps.
The soldiers' cultivation was generally seven or eight in the Qi Gathering Realm, while those generals on horseback were stronger, ranging from one to nine in the Condensation Realm.
The horse team in front of the team is very majestic, although it is not as strong as the Benlei Iron Cavalry that attacked Tianning Sect back then, it is also a hammer team.
Han Qianyu's gaze swept over the entire army, and soon fell on the middle-aged man riding a jujube red horse at the head, only to see that his face was solemn, and he had a sense of not being angry and arrogant, and a suit of armor revealed his domineering feeling.
Han Qianyu was overjoyed, presumably the one who was the leader was the Suoyun City Lord, he didn't say a word, and hurriedly ran towards the head of the team and intercepted the team.
"Who dares to intercept the deacon's troops?"
The middle-aged man in the lead did not speak, but a general next to him was the first to ask, with a feeling of interrogating a prisoner in his words.
"You're the city lord, right? Han Qianyu didn't pay attention to the person who spoke, but asked directly at the middle-aged man in the lead.
"Bold! How can the city lord be able to ask for something that ordinary people say?" The general beside the middle-aged leader became arrogant and domineering, glaring at Han Qianyu with anger on his face, and his eyes seemed to kill someone.
Han Qianyu said in a polite tone, "This matter is very important, and I hope the city lord will approve it!"
Seeing that Han Qianyu had ignored him, the general who spoke was furious, jumped up from his horse and stabbed Han Qianyu with his spear.
"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!"
The spear stabbed out like a silver snake, piercing straight into Han Qianyu's throat.
The others were all happy when they saw it, and at the same time they had some admiration for the general.
Han Qianyu's face did not change and his heart did not beat, although the general in front of him was a powerhouse of the eightfold condensation realm, but the general he made did not dare to compliment, and it was full of flaws.
Han Qianyu pulled out the Burning Sun Sword on his back and slammed it towards the tip of the spear in front of him.
Boom!
The force was so strong that the general couldn't even hold the gun, and the current of energy rolled directly from the tip to his arm, causing his whole body to fly out, coming and going as fast as he could.
Everyone present admired Han Qianyu.
"Who is this boy?"
"I don't know, it's so strong!"
How ridiculous is it that the Eightfold Condensation Realm was overturned by a person who was inferior to the Eightfold Realm?
I saw that the general who shot fell heavily to the ground, and he couldn't even speak.
"Take him!"
Immediately, another general shouted.
Han Qianyu's move undoubtedly aroused the anger of the public, and Tai Sui's head broke ground, so how could they watch Han Qianyu go on so rampantly?
Han Qianyu, on the other hand, looked indifferent, and continued to look ahead, fearless.
