The ancient martial arts master traveled through time

Chapter 163: Dealing with Prisoners [5]

The next morning, Ruan Xiaojiu and the city lord left Qionghai City in two carriages respectively and headed for the sea. However, because the city lord knew neither martial arts nor riding a horse, he could only travel slowly in the carriage.

The carriage took two hours to reach the fifty-mile distance, which made Ruan Xiaojiu feel uncomfortable in her chest and back. She was always flying around, but she didn't expect that riding in a carriage would be so tiring.

The city lord often rides in a carriage and is used to it. Although his face doesn't look very good, he still looks in good spirits.

Coming to the small towns near the sea, the villagers used to rely on the sea for their livelihood. Even if their lives were not rich, it was enough to fill the stomachs of the whole family.

But since the arrival of that group of bandits, the villagers can only dig for food in the fields, reduce their clothing and food, and their lives are becoming more and more difficult.

In a bad year, keeping warm during the winter became the biggest problem. But they were just ordinary people, unable to fight against officials or bandits. Even the city lord couldn't control them, and they were powerless to resist. They could only live in agony, at the bottom of society.

Kekelanglang finally arrived at the beach. There was a red line marked a hundred meters away. It was not allowed to cross it, otherwise they would be killed.

The carriage stopped, and the driver reported to the city lord, explaining the situation. The city lord lifted the curtain and saw a red line encircling the sea area.

He got out of the car and looked around first to make sure there was no one around. Then he walked to Ruan Xiaojiu's car and said, "Your Highness, we have reached their border. How do you think we should get across?"

Ruan Xiaojiu half-reclined in the carriage, her hand on her forehead. She felt a little uncomfortable, as if she were a little carsick. Although it wasn't serious, it still made her feel uncomfortable. Hearing the city lord's question, she felt annoyed. It was such a small matter, why did he have to ask? "Of course we can drive the carriage over. Are you going to let me walk?"

His tone was full of impatience.

The city lord's heart could not calm down. The danger here was no less than that on the battlefield, but he had to listen to Ruan Xiaojiu's words. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and order, "Drive the carriage over." He climbed onto the carriage quickly, with his ears perked up, ready to listen to what was happening outside at any time.

The driver received the order and slowly moved forward. Just after crossing the red line and traveling less than ten meters, several arrows flew around. The driver, Xiao Si, was so frightened that he froze in place and could only shout, "Enemy attack."

Ruan Xiaojiu had noticed that there were people around the moment he crossed the red line. They might be people who were specifically guarding the border line, Ruan Xiaojiu guessed.

When the city lord heard Xiao Si’s cry, his heart skipped a beat. It’s over... Prince, Prince, help me...

Ruan Xiaojiu dodged and flew out, casting a shield around the two carriages, blocking all the arrows. With a wave of her hand, a powerful force surged around the carriages, breaking all the arrows.

She was already dizzy, and seeing someone rushing towards the muzzle of a gun at this time was simply courting death.

The arrows failed to kill the man, and then a group of men in black came out. They had devil masks on their faces, and there were about ten of them. They blocked the two carriages and prevented them from moving forward. One of the men in black had a red mask, so he should be the leader, Ruan Xiaojiu guessed.

Sure enough, he stood up and said, "Who are you? You are not allowed to come near here. Leave immediately. This is not a place for you."

Ruan Xiaojiu floated in the air, looking down at the group of people. Without any further ado, he said directly, "Let your most senior official come to see this king."

The leader looked at Ruan Xiaojiu. Anyone who could call himself "the king" must be a member of the royal family. However, the only woman who called herself "the king" was the one from the Qin State.

Wasn't that person always unruly, cruel, extremely lustful, and worthless? But the one in front of him was different from the rumors.

Her martial arts skills were so high that she could float in the air without any external force. This was definitely not a trivial matter. The leader immediately felt a little apprehensive. If they fought, they might not be this woman's opponent. After thinking for a moment, he decided to ask, "What do you want to do in the Qionghai Sea?"

If she just wanted to salvage seafood, he could let her go, but she had to leave after salvaging the seafood, as he was afraid she had other purposes.

"What?" Ruan Xiaojiu raised the corner of his mouth in disdain.

"This sea area was originally under the jurisdiction of Qionghai. I heard that you forcibly occupied it two years ago. I am only here to reclaim it. Can you make the decision on this matter?"
