Mu Xiaoling wasn't afraid even in the face of death. Even if there were a thousand of them, they still wouldn't be able to do anything to her.

Since he wouldn't let her in, she would force her way in.

Her silhouette flickered, and in just a few moments, all the soldiers were knocked to the ground.

"Go get someone!" Seeing that something was wrong, the leader shouted out a warning even though he could not get up from the ground.

At this moment, the sound of a zither exploded above everyone's heads.

The leader looked up and saw a young man dressed in embroidered clothing, holding onto a jade zither, flying through the air. Coincidentally, he landed right in front of everyone and immediately shouted: "It's Young Master Ya!"

Young Master Ya's eyebrows were like swords, his starry eyes were filled with a warm smile, as if he wasn't here to kill, but to meet his friends. "I'm Feng Jiuyang, who are you? Why do you want to charge into Immortal Yang City?"

Other than Xiao Yu, it was the first time Mu Xiaoling had felt threatened. Although Young Master Ya looked kind and amiable, she had a strange aura about him that prevented her from seeing his rank clearly, but even so, she had never lowered her head to anyone. She sneered: "If I don't challenge him, then it is destined that my reputation will be ruined by the officials today; if I don't challenge him, then my friends will definitely suffer injustice; if I don't, then I will definitely humiliate myself to death in front of this Immortal Yang City. Why don't you tell me?"

His words not only stunned the young master Ya, but also the leader of the group.

"How many girls on top of this city gate have you no idea?" Mu Xiaoling shot a disdainful glare at the man. "How many people were implicated and left without a corpse? Don't you know?" It really makes me want to vomit. "

"This... "This …" The leader looked towards the direction that Mu Xiaoling was pointing at. There was a dark patch on the head of the city gate, and the bloodstains on it couldn't be hidden from people like them.

However, now that they were exposed, they were afraid that they would be executed by Ling Chi. He immediately shouted: "You are slandering us, when have we ever done such a thing, it is obvious that you did not have the city entrance token in your possession, you did not cooperate with the inspection, and even injured us, please do not trust these people who lie to such an extent."

Qi Tai said, "My mouth is full of lies, then who are you? The young lady that was carried out just now is still warm. I saw you throw her body in the forest outside the city with my own eyes."

Feng Jiuyang looked at the leader, "Why don't we trouble this lord to go into the forest to have a look before deciding on anything else?"

Coincidentally, another soldier came and the leader immediately ordered them to go into the forest and investigate. Not long after, they brought back a few bodies that were still warm. Obviously, they had just been killed.

One of the soldiers said, "There are still many corpses in the forest that have rotted away. We can't see their faces, so we can roughly estimate … about two hundred. "

"What!" The leader was shocked by the number. The inspection had only lasted half a month, and there were already 200 people with bad hands. What kind of crime was this!?

He was furious and wished that he could stab those two officials in the face. He shouted, "Why aren't you guys calling for help!"

The two officials trembled like a sieve as they kneeled on the ground. They did not dare to argue and tremblingly narrated what had happened.

The three of them were related to the City Lord's Mansion in the yamen, so they could cover the inside. That was why they were assigned to such a good job at the city gate.

As for why it was a good job, it was because the people who entered the city followed them to capture all the treasures. Of course, it was only like this at the beginning, but after they took a girl's innocence after checking her wounds, the simple financial matter of kidnapping became like robbing with the other people. Anyone who took a fancy to it would not be able to escape, and those who dared to resist would all be killed.

The trio tasted the sweetness and became more and more presumptuous. It was not as if no one had ever complained about entering the city, but they had never succeeded. Even the soldiers guarding the gate were bribed by the three of them and they acted as if they hadn't seen anything until today when they met Mu Xiaoling and the other two.

"You beasts!" The leader cursed, and raised the long blade in his hand, wanting to cut down like this, but he felt that it would be too easy for them to die so easily, so he kicked one of them, "Tie them up and lock them in the water prison, wait for me, City Lord Bing Ming, I will definitely cut them short. There are still eight guards, tie them all up for me!"

The soldiers had long been infuriated by this, especially those who had gone to investigate in the forest. They immediately moved and firmly tied them up, pressing them back down.

Even though Feng Jiuyang was a bit good-natured, at this moment, he was thoroughly angered by this matter. He cupped his hands towards Mu Xiaoling and said: "I was reckless. I hope that little miss will not take offense."

"You said your surname is Feng?" Only now did Mu Xiaoling notice Feng Jiuyang.

Feng Jiuyang was also puzzled: "Does young lady know me?"

Mu Xiaoling truthfully said, "I was once saved by someone called Feng Wu Yi."

"You've met him?" Feng Jiuyang was slightly surprised, "He is my big brother."

Mu Xiaoling was surprised as he didn't expect this person to be from the Middle Realm. However, it was inconvenient for him to speak as there were too many people around.

Feng Jiuyang said: "Lady has just entered the city, so there shouldn't be any place for her to stay. As the saying goes, if you don't want to fight, then don't be friends. If Miss doesn't mind, then come and rest at my place for the time being."

Mu Xiaoling nodded. "I'm sorry for troubling you."

"I'm afraid not." The leader stood out and politely said, "With this kind of thing happening, I would like to invite young lady to return with me to the City Lord's Mansion to explain the situation."

Mu Xiaoling nodded. "Alright."

Feng Jiuyang said: "How about this? Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion to clear things up first, then we can go to my place to rest."

Mu Xiaoling also wanted to ask about the Central Region, so she agreed. "Then I'll be troubling you."

In fact, the management of each city in this world was quite chaotic. Only those that came from different families had the right to report to the government to establish the Mayor's mansion, so not every city had the City Lord's mansion. Most of the City Lord's Mansion existed in each family, and some smaller towns and cities were managed by the government.

Since he was able to establish the City Lord's Mansion, then this Xian Yang City must be a powerhouse of the city. To be able to make all the families submit to him, it must either have a very good reputation and a very high prestige.

No matter what, he was not someone to be trifled with.

The City Lord's Mansion was on the east side of Immortal Yang City and there were two huge stone lions by the entrance. On the plaque above the entrance, the words "City Lord's Mansion" were written in large golden letters.

Perhaps someone had already spread the news before, but the door to the mansion was wide open. A neatly dressed, meticulously dressed old man stood in front of the door and saw a few people walking forward: "The Mayor already knows, he is currently waiting for everyone in the guest hall."
