Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 200 Return to Yingzhou
"Everyone, please stop arguing. The decision on rewards has always been made by the host state. What you are saying now is..."

The Qizhou official shouted loudly, trying to suppress the noise of officials from several other states, but he didn't expect that the officials from other states didn't even let him finish his words.

"Everyone, we are all officials from various states, so we should be more respectful. It's not good to discuss this matter here. Why don't we go to the City Lord's Mansion first and discuss it properly."

Although this place is some distance away from several martial arts training grounds, the crowd on Micui Peak has not yet dispersed, so it is inevitable that some people will pass by here.

The officials in charge of Qizhou were afraid of affecting their image, and were also afraid of some outrageous rumors or even lies spreading, so they could only try their best to calm everyone's emotions.

"That won't do. If I go to your Qizhou City Lord's Mansion and land in your place, who knows what you'll say?"

"Don't worry, everyone! I will definitely give you an explanation."

"What are you afraid of? Let's just go to his City Lord's Mansion. We have to attend the banquet anyway. The Qizhou City Lord is not here, so we have to give the imperial envoy face."

"Yes, let's see what else Qizhou has to say."

……

Hearing the chaotic noise coming from behind, Director Yan couldn't stand the quarreling of the crowd any more, so he simply stopped walking, patted his storage bag, and rode on the giant wooden sword, flying away on the wind.

Just as officials from several states were arguing, someone discovered that Director Yan had already flown away on his sword.

The other cultivators were also unable to bear the quarrel among officials from several states. As jade cultivators, although they cherished their own flying magic instruments, they gritted their teeth and flew away like Director Yan.

"Let's quarrel! Okay, are you satisfied now? You really have to go on your own!"

……

"Prince, shall we go back to Yingzhou?"

The monk standing on the plain and exquisite boat asked Chu Ronghuan respectfully.

"Let's find a place to stop ahead and take a carriage." Chu Ronghuan said calmly.

"Yes." The cultivator naturally didn't dare to question Chu Ronghuan's order. He didn't ask any further questions, just replied.

For Chu Ronghuan, the mission of the cultivator beside him is to ensure his safety.

Chu Ronghuan had no doubt that he would be safely escorted back to Yingzhou.

But this monk was following the orders of Prince Rong, so naturally he was Prince Rong's eyes and ears and was responsible to Prince Rong.

Therefore, he was not a cultivator that Chu Ronghuan could completely trust.

During the days when the Five States were performing martial arts, Chu Ronghuan went to watch the battles in person every day.

His purpose was not to leave a people-friendly impression in the five states, but to have two purposes.

Firstly, he wanted to stroll around Yingzhou, and took advantage of this five-state martial arts performance to tell the officials of several states that he had appeared near Yingzhou.

In this way, those spies who are keeping an eye on him can report truthfully, which can not only reassure the superiors, but also give those with ulterior motives no reason to use this matter as a bargaining chip. His grandfather who is far away in the imperial capital will no longer be caught in a dilemma because of his affairs.

Even so, he still chose not to reveal his identity to anyone other than the officials of the martial arts arena.

Sometimes, being too flashy can backfire.

His goal would be achieved if all the officials of the Five States knew that he was present at the Five States Martial Arts Show. Secondly, and this was his biggest concern at the moment, was finding someone.

Looking for the warrior who saved him outside Yingzhou City that day, looking for his savior.

In Yingzhou, Chu Ronghuan used almost all the power he could mobilize and secretly searched the entire Yingzhou.

He not only sent people to investigate every household in Yingzhou, but also the Yingzhou Chamber of Commerce, including the three major families of the Yingzhou Chamber of Commerce: the Xu family, the Xing family, and the Jiang family.

Even the Yingzhou City Lord's Mansion, which he was not supposed to search, Chu Ronghuan still gritted his teeth and went there in person to look for it.

Fortunately, the Lord of Yingzhou City was a gentle person and gave Chu Ronghuan enough face. Although he didn't know what the prince was looking for, he was very supportive of him and cooperated with him in every way.

However, despite such a long search, Chu Ronghuan still found nothing.

Unable to find Yingzhou, Chu Ronghuan thought of the Five States Martial Arts Competition held from time to time.

Since the warrior that day was able to save me, I think he must be quite powerful. It is very likely that he participated in the Five States Martial Arts Competition to fight for generous rewards.

Therefore, when the Qizhou officials went to Prince Rong's Mansion to invite him as usual, which had not been accepted in the past, Chu Ronghuan thought it was a good opportunity and readily accepted the invitation.

It was the prince's sudden acceptance of the invitation that surprised everyone in the City Lord's Mansion of the Five States, as well as the officials from the Five States who participated in the martial arts performance. They were walking on thin ice throughout the entire martial arts performance in the Five States.

In order to find that warrior, Chu Ronghuan carefully observed almost every warrior participating in the martial arts performance on the viewing platform.

Chu Ronghuan observed not only the Heaven-level warriors, but also the Earth-level warriors, the Profound-level warriors, and the Yellow-level warriors one by one, not willing to let go of any possible warrior or any details.

In this martial arts performance, there were indeed several warriors who used bows and arrows as weapons, but none of them matched the warrior in Chu Ronghuan's memory.

There are also some warriors who only use bows and arrows in the first few battles and can easily win against weaker opponents. However, once they encounter stronger opponents, they have to give up bows and arrows and use more handy weapons.

In general, in this Five States Martial Arts Competition, Chu Ronghuan still failed to find the warrior who saved him that day.

However, no matter what, since the Five States Martial Arts Competition still failed to find the warrior who had saved him, Chu Ronghuan had to temporarily stop looking, although he was unwilling.

Because there are more important things that need him to deal with.

……

"Are you Ling Honghe?" Outside the Yingzhou City Lord's Mansion, a warrior wearing a full set of exquisite armor asked Jiang Xuan.

"It's me." Jiang Xuan judged that the other party was at least a warrior with strength reaching the peak of the heavenly level just from the other party's clothing and the faint aura.

Moreover, the other party appeared outside the Yingzhou City Lord's Mansion and guarded the Yingzhou City Lord's Mansion, so it was highly likely that he was the personal guard of the Yingzhou City Lord's Mansion.

As for the royal guards, their status in the entire Yingzhou City, and even in the entire Yingzhou, is self-evident.

Not only in Yingzhou City, but in almost every city, the royal guards are a group with a relatively special status in the city.

They are called the city lord's personal guards, and they perform the duty of protecting the city lord. However, except for a few personal guards, most of the personal guards are at the peak of the heavenly level and are not cultivators.

However, the mayors of each city are often monks, which makes the protection duties of the personal guards of the city lord's mansion somewhat misplaced.

In fact, there are only a few cultivators who have reached the Jade Cultivation Realm who can truly protect the city lord. In order to highlight their status, they are often appointed as the chief of the personal guards.
