Chapter 385 The storm in the city
After a long journey, a majestic city finally appeared before our eyes.
There were soldiers guarding the gate, and every citizen who wanted to enter the city had to undergo routine inspection.
On the top of the city wall, there were well-equipped soldiers standing every five steps and every ten steps, staring straight ahead with expressionless faces, ready for battle.
There were also soldiers holding spears and swords patrolling back and forth on the city walls, as if they were actively preparing for war.
"I don't know what happened these past few days, but the city has suddenly been under martial law. Every time you enter or leave the city, you have to go through inspections. The fresh herbs I dug have been tossed back and forth, and the price can't be sold anymore. Who can I go to for justice?"
Chu Mo looked in the direction of the voice and saw two middle-aged men dressed in fine cloth and dressed like herbal farmers walking past Chu Mo. The two were first attracted by the blue-eyed white dragon, and after looking it up and down, they nodded at Chu Mo who was sitting on the horse.
Chu Mo nodded slightly, and saw another man saying, "The news of the Black Tiger Gang being wiped out has been spreading like wildfire these days, and the murderer has not been found yet. I think we should be more careful. If the price can't be raised, then it can't be sold. It's better than losing your life."
The complaining person said: "You are right. Let's run a few steps quickly, otherwise we will have to queue again."
After saying this, the two of them started jogging hurriedly.
When Chu Mo saw this scene, he showed an innocent expression, and then signaled Yang Jiye and the other two behind him to follow him into the city.
Chu Mo rode on the blue-eyed white dragon and slowly walked towards the city gate. The people around him avoided him and looked at him on the horse with strange eyes.
At this moment, a small group of people holding spears surrounded the four of them. The leader rode a tall black horse to Chu Mo and said, "Hey, my governor has ordered that no one is allowed to ride into the city. Get off your horse and be inspected."
Chu Mo frowned slightly, because Xiayang did not have such a law, and the prefect Li Wei actually dared to set up private laws.
At this time, a familiar figure blocked Chu Mo's way and said to the leader in a stern voice: "You are blind. How dare you stop anyone's horse? This is a master from above. How can a mere city guard like you offend him? Why don't you apologize to him quickly?"
The soldiers surrounding Chu Mo knew the steward of the prefect's mansion. He had been wandering around the city gate for several days in a row. At first, everyone was very puzzled, but now they understood what he was doing here every day.
Having accidentally offended a big shot, the soldiers guarding the city were immediately frightened out of their wits. The leader even jumped off his horse in panic and knelt down directly in front of Chu Mo's horse.
This scene fell directly into the eyes of the people waiting to enter the city, and they immediately began to point and talk in low voices.
In the prefect's mansion, Li Wei was pacing anxiously in the lobby. For three consecutive days, he had been waiting for Chu Mo to come to him so that he could curry favor with him.
Li Wei's wife put the brewed ginseng health tea on the table and said, "Husband, aren't you tired from walking around? I made some tea for you, come and drink some to moisten your throat."
Li Wei frowned and said, "Drink, drink, drink. This is urgent. If I can't handle this matter well, I won't be able to sit in the position of governor. Do you understand? Who has the time to drink this stuff?"
Just then, a shout came from outside, getting closer and closer.
"My lord, my lord, the butler asked you to go to the city gate quickly. The person you are waiting for has arrived."
"My lord, my lord, the steward said that the person you are waiting for has arrived at the city gate."
Li Wei's spirits perked up upon hearing that. He immediately exerted all his strength to unleash his cultivation at the peak of the Second Level Soul Condensing Stage and quickly headed towards the city gate.
The servant who reported the incident looked at the governor in such an attitude. As it was the first time he saw the governor, he was stunned on the spot.
Just as Li Wei was rushing to the city gate with all his might, Chu Mo seemed quite embarrassed under the pointing and talking of the crowd.
"Who is this person? He doesn't even take the city defense order seriously. Why should we kneel down to him? This is really too bullying."
"Yes, yes, could it be someone from a big family? But why have I never seen him before?"
"The largest family in Tianyi City is the Li family. Our governor is from the Li family. I think this person is also from the Li family. From ancient times to the present, there have always been a few black sheep in that family."
As soon as this person said this, he was immediately nodded in approval by the people around him.
In the crowd, a man wearing a conical hat, dressed in black and holding a sword in his arms was watching all this quietly, but his eyes hidden under the conical hat were fixed on Chu Mo who was riding on the horse, and there was a hint of murderous intent in them.
The six sword slaves who were hiding in the dark to protect Chu Mo instantly noticed the hint of murderous intent and quickly locked onto the black-clad swordsman.
Chu Mo said to the person in front of him, "Geng Jinbiao, help him up quickly. Soldiers should follow orders from their superiors. This is what they should do. They have done nothing wrong. There is no need to apologize to me like this. Just let them do what they should do."
"Also, we have seriously disrupted the order at the city gate. Let's quickly go into the city."
Geng Jinbiao noticed that Chu Mo acted extremely low-key and probably didn't like the feeling of being the center of attention. Just when he was about to follow Chu Mo's orders, a voice came from behind him.
Hearing the voice, Geng Jinbiao's tense nerves relaxed.
"Didn't you hear what the adults said? Why don't you leave here quickly and do what you need to do."
When they saw the person coming, everyone was surprised. They never thought that Chu Mo could get the prefect to come and pick him up in person.
Even the people watching the show nearby were shocked. They couldn't imagine how noble Chu Mo's identity was that he could make the governor of a county come out of the city to greet him personally.
Seeing the guards standing there blankly, Geng Jinbiao couldn't help but shouted, "What? Didn't you hear what the governor just said? Why don't you leave quickly?"
Only then did the surrounding soldiers react. They became extremely panicked and quickly ran away from here and there.
Li Wei smiled brightly and said to Chu Mo: "I am Li Wei, the governor of Tianyi City, to greet you, sir. Welcome to Tianyi City. You really bring honor to our humble city."
"You have worked hard on this journey, my lords. I will take you into the city next."
As he spoke, he took a step forward, came to Chu Mo, grabbed the reins around the neck of the Jade Dragon, and said, "Come on, please follow me, adults."
Chu Mo patted the Green-Eyed Jade Dragon lightly, and the Green-Eyed Jade Dragon then cooperated with Li Wei's actions.
Noticing Chu Mo's little movements on the horse, Li Wei then turned his attention to the horse.
With just one glance, Li Wei could tell that this horse was extraordinary. Not to mention that it had dragon blood, just its hair that looked like flowing light was far superior to any war horse he had seen.
So Li Wei said with a smile: "Your Excellency's mount is truly extraordinary. If I am not mistaken, it should be the legendary Jade Dragon with Green Eyes."
"My Lord, you are so young and yet you are able to tame such a mount. You are truly a young genius."
Seeing the man personally holding Chu Mo's horse with a flattering look on his face, the people and soldiers at the city gate were all stunned. Is this the kind of scene they can bear to see?
The black-clad swordsman hiding in the crowd saw this and whispered, "This man is arrogant and domineering, just like the governor Li Wei, he deserves to be killed."
