In the past few days, there has been some chaos in Star City, because the city lord has something to leave, so all the forces are a little unscrupulous, in fact, even when the city lord is there, many big families and big forces are the same, the power of the city lord's mansion is limited after all, it is impossible to cover everything, and the major forces themselves are also deep-rooted in Star City, very influential, and the city lord also has to rely on the balance of various forces in order to ensure his dominance, so he will definitely not easily offend these forces.

However, it is precisely for this reason that the city lord does not have absolute authority, at least in the eyes of the major forces, and the prestige of the city lord can only be reflected when facing the common people.

The city lord heard that he went out of the city to Tianyin Sect to do something, and it seems that things are still very important, so he will leave for so long, and as soon as the city lord leaves, first of all, the city guards will completely herd the sheep, and the vigilance that originally appeared to be somewhat relaxed has been relaxed, and even the city guards of the four city gates have begun to secretly take turns to rest, anyway, these are all details, and no one can find out when the city lord is not there.

However, at noon, news suddenly came that the city lord was already on his way back to Star City, and it seemed that the matter on the Tianyin Sect's side had been dealt with.

The people of Star City don't feel anything, after all, no matter when, they live like this, but those city guards can't help but cheer up, after all, they rely on the city lord to pay money, so that the city lord is not satisfied, they are the first to be dismissed, after all, these people are also ordinary people, and the city guards are a bowl of iron rice bowl, which can support their families.

At noon, sure enough, a team of people rushed over from the north of the city, looking at the Star City sign on it, it was indeed the city lord who had returned correctly.

"The brothers are all cheering up, the city lord is really back, if anyone drops the chain at this time, Lao Tzu will definitely give him a good look!" the captain of the city guard straightened his chest and shouted to his subordinates.

"Obey!" A group of city guard soldiers all ran to the door quickly, one by one, with their chests and backs pulled, trying to make their waists straighter, no one dared to drop the chain at this time, otherwise they would definitely be cleaned up by the captain of the city guard.

The so-called dead horse running across the mountain, this road does not look long, but it really takes a while to walk, the city lord's carriage and horse are dangling on the plain in the distance, and it takes half an hour to finally arrive in front of the north gate gatehouse.

"Lord of the City has arrived!" the herald shouted from afar, and the guards stretched their necks even straighter, hoping to pull them out directly to the extent of a long-necked deer. The lord's carriage and horse paused for a moment, and then the wheels began to turn slowly.

The captain of the city guard was on the side, watching the city lord's chariots and horses enter the city, at this time the city lord's chariots and horses were walking very slowly, and the clothes and armor bumped and bumped in the walk, constantly making noises, and the captain looked at the soldiers who were advancing without saying a word, and suddenly frowned.

"Why are these people so tired, it looks like they have gone through a long journey, but the city lord has only been away for a few days, and the Tianyin Sect is not far from here, how can they be so tired?"

After all, the captain has more knowledge than ordinary soldiers, and looking at this strange phenomenon, he can't help but think a little more.

If you look closely, you can see that the armor on the guards is quite damaged, as if they have gone through a hard journey, but there are no wounded or dead people, it is not like they have experienced a battle or a conflict.

"What the hell are these people doing?" the captain of the guard wondered.

The city lord passed in a flash, but the captain was full of doubts, since the city lord had passed, he didn't have to continue to be on duty here, said hello to his subordinates, and the captain left on his own.

After entering the city, he walked a few alleys before the captain stopped in front of a restaurant.

"Oh, Captain Ma, you're here!" said the shopkeeper with a smile.

"Well, Xiaoding, get some food, I haven't eaten in the morning, I'm a little hungry!" Captain Ma walked into the restaurant with his legs raised, walked straight to the second floor, sat down at a table by the window, and took off his official hat and put it on the table.

"How about getting some sauced beef, a few side dishes, and a pound of soju?" Xiao Ding asked with a smile as he took off the rag from his shoulder and wiped Captain Ma's table diligently.

"Okay, if you can eat, come up quickly!" Captain Ma nodded.

"Okay!" Xiao Ding turned around, put the rag on his shoulder, and ran quickly downstairs, while a clear voice echoed.

"A pound of sauced beef, a plate of fennel beans, a plate of sauced melon strips, a plate of spicy bamboo shoots, a pound of soju, walk!"

Captain Ma smiled, this Xiao Ding is very discerning on weekdays, every time he comes, he will take the initiative to entertain, of course, Xiao Ding's brother is a good person, often passing through the north gate, he often turns a blind eye, and will not interrogate too much.

The wine and food were quickly put on the table, and Captain Ma took a deep breath, picked up a pair of chopsticks, sandwiched a thick piece of beef, stuffed it into his mouth, and munched it.

Perhaps because of his professional habits, his eyes glanced around, and from his current position, he could see the entire second floor of the restaurant, and he could also observe the situation on the street below.

It can be said that the position chosen by the captain of the horse allows the maximum observation of the surrounding situation.

Now Captain Ma is also eating while his eyes are constantly sweeping around, but it is because of his behavior that he discovers a strange person.

The man was walking this way from the street, and because Captain Ma was condescending, he could see the man's movements carefully, and the man had only taken a few random steps, but his figure had already reached the door of the restaurant.

"Shrink into inches!" Captain Ma's eyes narrowed suddenly.

You must know that the means of shrinking the earth into inches can only be used by people in the Tianxuan realm, and if the earth system Tianxuanwu cultivation or cultivation is higher or even has a mutated physique, in short, this is a quite strong character.

But why did such a person appear in front of this restaurant, and what was the purpose of his coming here? Captain Ma felt that he had experienced too many things this day, and they were all very strange, which made him more curious.

The man took a few steps forward, and in the blink of an eye, he was actually across the table from Captain Ma!

Captain Ma also found that there was no trace of this person downstairs, but he was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head and saw the other party standing across his table, which made Captain Ma startled.

"What are you—what are you going to do?"
