Seven Gods Guardian: Gun King Mission

Many matters require the joint efforts of both of us to proceed smoothly. Even if some things seem to be able to be handled by him alone, he still needs to seek my opinion before he can start to handle them.

At this moment, he was in his own office room in the City Lord's Mansion. He saw piles of various documents waiting to be processed on the desk in front of him.

Just because of the delay of the important matters a few days ago, the official duties in recent days have become more and more heavy.

Before receiving any new information or instructions, I sat here almost all day and all night. Even my three meals a day and rest at night were hastily done here. I had to keep dealing with these piles of documents.

At this moment, I am buried in a mountain of documents, busy dealing with various affairs.

Suddenly, a sharp, rapid knock on the door shattered the silence. "Who's there?" I instinctively raised my head, frowning, and asked loudly as I put down the documents in my hand.

"Sir, it's me! I have something important to report to you." A familiar voice came from outside the door.

He immediately recognized who it was and responded without hesitation, "It's you. Come in quickly."

With a creaky sound, the door was slowly pushed open and a man dressed as a servant walked in.

Upon seeing him, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, saying quickly, "Lord Zhan Huang, the capital has just sent a liaison officer. They say they have important news for you and want you to go to the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion to receive the order."

"Oh? The capital actually sent someone?" He was slightly startled, a hint of surprise on his face, and then asked, "Then where is this liaison officer now?"

"My lord, he is waiting in the hall right now. City Lord Shangguan has also been waiting there for a long time." The servant replied in a calm tone with no expression on his face.

"Okay, I understand." He nodded, then gently put aside the documents that he had not finished processing, stood up, straightened his clothes, and then strode towards the door.

Before leaving, he turned around and instructed the servant: "I'll go over and take a look. If there are other matters, I will deal with them when I come back." After saying that, he closed the door again and left the slightly crowded office without looking back, and rushed towards the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

He walked quickly towards the hall, wondering what important news had come from the capital. At this time, the servant who delivered the message had left and returned to his post.

When I stepped into the spacious and bright hall, my eyes were instantly attracted by the two people in front of me.

The elegantly dressed and distinguished Shangguan City Lord was standing shoulder to shoulder with a man who was the liaison officer from the capital.

"Greetings, Lord Zhan Huang!" The liaison officer bowed respectfully upon seeing him enter the hall. He then spoke, "The capital has ordered me to inform you to leave for the capital immediately. They say there's something extremely important that needs to be discussed."

Hearing this, he nodded slightly to indicate that he understood. At the same time, his mind raced, wondering what kind of important matter could be so urgent.

After a brief pause, he hurriedly asked, "Are you asking me to go alone? Do the other guardian gods also need to return to the capital together?"

Faced with this question, the liaison officer's expression became very serious. He nodded solemnly and replied, "Indeed, the situation is serious. We need all six of you guardian gods to rush to the capital."

After getting the definite answer, he knew that this matter was of great importance. He said no more and responded directly: "Okay, I understand. You go back first, I will make some preparations and then set off immediately." After saying goodbye to the city lord, he turned around and left the hall without hesitation, and hurriedly ran towards his residence.

After returning to his residence, he packed his luggage without any delay and put some necessary items into his bag.

After everything was packed up, he quickly went to the stable and led out an extraordinary horse. Then he slowly led the horse and walked towards the city gate with steady steps.

Along the way, I could see many people going out coming and going, bustling about.

Considering the large number of people, it is really inconvenient for me to ride a horse here, so as not to disturb others or cause unnecessary trouble.

So, I decided to be patient and wait until I was out of the city before riding a horse.

When he arrived at the city gate, the guards at the gate recognized him at a glance.

They greeted him one after another, showed their respect and then made way for him.

However, he did not have much free time to greet them at this moment. He just nodded slightly and couldn't wait to jump onto the horse's back with an agile somersault the moment he stepped out of the city gate.

Then, he gently shook the reins in his hand, driving the horse under his crotch to gallop out like an arrow, and rushed straight towards the capital.

All that could be heard was the sound of horse hooves echoing on the road, clear and loud.

As he was hurrying on, he thought to himself, "Perhaps the difficult battle between humans and demons is about to officially begin. I have been waiting for this for several days, and now I have finally waited for this moment! But, I really don't know how long this thrilling battle will last, and what kind of long and fierce fighting will be needed to finally determine the winner..." In this way, he rode his horse and rushed forward in deep thought.

The journey was quite peaceful and nothing unusual happened.

After all, it was still quite a distance from here to the capital, and I knew in my heart that this journey would probably take some time to reach my destination. Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, I had already walked for a long time.

Because the distance between Huangyun City and the capital is long, tortuous, even he himself finds it difficult to accurately calculate how long it took to complete this arduous journey.

"Oh! I don't know how long I've been riding. By now, those people must have already reached their destination," he thought anxiously. "I need to speed up!" Thinking of this, he raised the whip in his hand without hesitation and lashed the horse hard.

The horse under his crotch felt pain from the sudden attack, neighed, and then its four hooves flew, galloping away like an arrow.

The wind whistled past my ears, and the scenery on both sides quickly receded. In a blink of an eye, the towering city gate of the capital came into view.

Seeing that he was getting closer to the city gate, he hurriedly pulled the reins, signaling the horse to slow down.

When he was only more than ten meters away from the city gate, he pulled the reins hard again. The horse raised its front hooves high, neighed loudly, and then stopped steadily.

At the same time, he quickly dismounted, held the reins tightly, and walked towards the city gate.

The guards at the city gate saw a horse galloping like lightning from afar, and they suddenly became nervous. They tightened their weapons and went into alert.

Soon, he walked up to the guards.

The guards took a closer look and recognized that the person in front of them was themselves. They all knelt on one knee and clenched their fists and shouted, "Greetings, Lord War Emperor."

"Well, get up." I nodded slightly and responded with brief and cold words.

Then, he ignored those people and walked straight into the city.

As soon as I stepped into the city gate, I keenly noticed the oppressive atmosphere in the air.
