Returnee in Jianghu - C16

In the Azure Province, several fast horses were galloping along the main road. The ones who backed off were the vendors on both sides of the road or the pedestrians on the street.

It was precisely because after Princess Ning was attacked, the atmosphere inside and outside the Azure Province had visibly tensed up. However, this tightening had no effect on the prosperity of the Green Continent.

There were still many pedestrians on the street, and the clamor was still as loud as before.

It was just that the horses were moving quickly through the crowd. The ruckus that had been going on earlier was now completely in order.

The horse quickly stopped outside of a large courtyard in the northern part of Qingzhou City. The figure on the horse jumped off the horse, and the servants that came to greet the horse took the reins from the hands of the few figures.

“Is Mr. Zhou in the mansion?” The youth in the lead glanced at the gatehouse in the courtyard and asked.

In a side yard of the Residence of Supreme Commander, a middle-aged marquis stood beside a young man who was meticulously brewing tea.

“It seems like there’s been some news about that River Fish?” Liang Junlin indifferently glanced at Mr. Zhou by his side, then slightly rolled up the boiling tea in his cup and waited for Mr. Zhou’s reply.

“I still don’t know his exact identity, but according to our report, it’s very likely that this fish is an Earth rank expert.” Mr. Zhou sat down next to Liang Junlang. Seeing him pour tea for him, he quickly accepted his thanks.

“The illustrious reputation of that Prince Yuan would naturally not allow his daughter to be married off to an idiot. Continue to investigate. I’d like to see just what kind of background this River Fish has.” Liang Junlin snorted coldly. He wanted to see what kind of trash this Abyss Prince had found for Ning Ziqing.

“Yes, I will give the orders.” “One more thing. It is said that Luanshui and the thirteen mountains are both slightly in turmoil. How about we …” Mr. Zhou took a sip of the extremely light tea. It was a bit bitter and bitter, but after it entered his throat, it had a refreshing fragrance.

Liang Junlin saw that this Mr. Zhou had put down his teacup, and then picked up the teapot to pour another cup for Mr. Zhou. Smiling, he said, “Is Mr. Zhou anxious too?”

“How can we not be anxious? That person has already attacked Prince Yuan. We also need to quickly arrange for a setup.” “As long as we have Thirteen Mountains and Luanshui in our hands, the power of the two provinces of Qinglu and Luanshui will be in our hands.” At this point, a flush appeared on Mr. Zhou’s face, before he turned to look at the indifferent Liang Junlin. Clasping his fist, he smiled at him and said, “I can’t compare to young master’s kung fu skills.”

“I’ll have to trouble Mister Zhou to manage those thirteen mountains first. The group of dragons without a leader is changing, so it’s easier to eat than Luanhua.” After that, he got up and was about to leave, but he seemed to recall something, “Oh right, when will the Ba Dao Gang find a time to pay a visit to him? We’ll help him conceal it. They should at least show some sincerity, right?”

Mr. Zhou nodded in agreement, then sent Liang Junlin out of the room with his eyes.

Just as Liang Junlin stepped out of the room, a few figures followed him to welcome Mr. Zhou.

“Liu Jie, didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on the Abyss King’s Mansion?” When Mr. Zhou saw the surprised expressions of the people outside the door, the person at the front whispered in Mr. Zhou’s ear.

“Alright, I understand. You two continue to monitor the situation.” Mr. Zhou’s expression was a bit ugly. He waved his hand at the few of them, then looked at the Qing Province map hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back. He was frowning deeply.

Outside the city gates of the Azure Province, Old Gu was riding a horse carriage as he watched the Black Abyss Army blocking the entrance. He then turned around and glanced at Jiang Youzi.

“Keep walking.” Jiang Youyu was naturally aware of the situation within the Black Abyss Army. However, when he looked at the somewhat noisy city gates in front of him, he was unable to figure out what the Black Abyss Army was up to.

At the city gate, a group of Black Abyss Army soldiers wearing spears coldly stared at the few Qingzhou guards who were obviously frightened by the Black Abyss Army’s aura. It seemed that the leader of this group of Qingzhou guards was pointing at the Black Abyss Army and saying something to them.

There were quite a lot of people gathered at the city gate. Some of them were going in and some of them were going out. These people naturally couldn’t pass through as they saw the two groups of people standing in front of the city gate.

“You can’t blame the Abyss King’s Mansion for this. Tell me what kind of status that Princess Ning has, it’s the blood of an Emperor. She was killed in an attack in the Azure Province, and since the Governor’s Palace can’t capture those criminals, it’s natural that the Black Abyss Army can take over the security of the city.” Not far away from Jiang Youyu’s carriage, a boatman held a machete as he looked at the two groups of men standing in front of the city gate. He spoke out in the name of justice for the Black Abyss Army.

“However, it’s not good for the Black Abyss Army to interfere in areas like the city guards. The Big Ning Chronicle is very clear. Ah, this matter is taboo.”

“Heh, we, the Black Abyss Army, have guarded the border for over a dozen years just because of this aura. If this Black Abyss Army is beaten up by someone and then endured the humiliation, then I really won’t be interested in this Black Abyss Army. ”

When River Fish heard the clamor in the crowd, he more or less understood what the situation was like at the entrance.

It was probably because the Black Abyss Army had killed close to ten people and the Supervisor Army could not give any clues. In addition to the fact that that Ning Dajun had been attacked in Qingzhou City, the Black Abyss Army had blocked all the city gates of Qingzhou.

However, it was clear that the guards at the gates of the Azure Province weren’t that easy to handle. The defense of the Azure Province was always controlled by the supervising military, the Liang family. It was unavoidable for such a scene to appear at the city gates.

Jiang Youyu looked at the color of the sky, then looked at the two groups of people who were still in a stalemate. He quickly got Old Gu to find someone to ask about the time before they were allowed to enter the city.

Old Gu casually asked the two of them about it, then shook his head at Jiang Youyu, “They’re all waiting. I don’t think they’ll be able to enter the city today until this matter is resolved.” Old Gu was also very unlucky. He didn’t have much to rest while driving through the night, so he was very tired right now.

“Sigh, someone from the Liang clan has arrived.” It was precisely when Old Gu was lamenting about his own misery that someone near the city gate yelled out. Afterwards, the people blocking the city gate all looked towards the city gate.

At this moment, a fast horse was whining as it trampled on the green stone floor of the city gate. Soon after, a figure jumped down from the fast horse.

It was a young man who came. He was not that old, but it seemed that he had some status in the Azure Province.

“It’s Liang Cangji. He actually came.” There was no lack of people in the crowd. When they saw the dismounted young man, they immediately recognized his identity.

“This Liang Feng Ji is Young Master Liang’s cousin, and also the ruler of the Azure Province. I’m afraid that the Black Abyss Army will have to take a step back.” Most of the people still did not know the identity of this young man. Some of them explained in a few sentences and then looked at the two groups of people below the city gate. It was obvious that they were not optimistic about the Black Abyss Army.

Although the Black Abyss Army had a huge influence in the Azure Province, the Overlord Mansion’s influence was not small in the Azure Province. Besides, the person in front of them was Liang Wangsun.

“Ahh, the power of the Abyss King’s Mansion is indeed great, but other than Princess Ning, there are not many in the Azure Province who can hold up the name of the Prince’s Mansion. It’s not like the Liang family, which has had their roots in the Azure Province for many years. Although their power has always been suppressed by the Duke Yuan Palace, the younger generations in this family are each stronger than the other. ”

The crowd’s attitude was generally not optimistic about the Black Abyss Army. It was also true that when the Black Abyss Army saw Liang Dazhi’s stash, although they hadn’t taken even half a step back, their earlier sharpness had already faded quite a bit.

“Who is it? So it was Lieutenant Tang. “What, is Lieutenant Tang giving us Qingzhou guards some pointers from the way he’s acting?” The young man looked at the leader of the Black Abyss Army with a face full of contempt. His voice seemed to be a little too loud, which was faintly audible even to Jiang Youyu. His words carried a hint of sharpness.

As the governor of Qingzhou City, the Black Abyss Army didn’t even say a word before surrounding his subordinate Qingzhou guards. Wasn’t this slapping his face?

“So, our Black Abyss Army can’t stand it any longer and wants to help Commander Liang bear the burden.” There was a trace of anger on the young man’s face after Lieutenant Tang had finished speaking.

“The meaning behind Lieutenant Tang’s words is that I’m useless?” Liang Cangji snorted coldly as thick true qi gushed out of his palm and pressed down on Lieutenant Tang. The rules of the military had always been that anyone with the size of a fist had to listen to them. Liang Dazhi and General Tang didn’t belong to the same army, so there was no need to be polite between them.

“If Governor Liang wants to think so, I have nothing to say.” Lieutenant Tang’s true qi gushed out of him as well, catching Liang Cangji’s true qi. When the two strands of true qi assaulted each other, it was obvious that Liang Cangji’s cultivation was a bit deeper.

Lieutenant Tang retreated three steps in a row as he let out a muffled grunt before staring coldly at Liang Cangji.

“Hua!”

When the Black Abyss Army soldiers behind Lieutenant Tang saw that their heads had been secretly injured by Liang Cangji, they all immediately raised the spears in their hands and pointed them at him. Although there were only a dozen or so people, they were still able to condense a frightening amount of blood fiend energy.

Lieutenant Tang was making a gesture to the Black Abyss Army behind him. His order was to take over the city gate guards, not to have conflicts with them.

“Didn’t Princess Ning teach you how to lower yourself to a higher person?” This time, it’s a small punishment, leading your people and disappearing quickly. ” After Liang Cangji finished his strike, he stopped attacking. On his face, there was a hint of fear towards the Black Abyss Army that was condensed into a group. Moreover, the situation in front of them hadn’t reached the stage where they would have a falling out with the Black Abyss Army. Although the Liang family was not afraid of the Abyss King’s Mansion, they would not suddenly fall out with them for no reason.

Lieutenant Tang clutched his chest as he cast a cold glance at Liang Cangji. “I, Tang Chengjing, will remember this matter today. Let’s go.”

Since Liang Cangji was personally overseeing the city gate, the Black Abyss Army naturally wouldn’t bring ridicule upon themselves.

Liang Wencai, who was guarding the city gate, watched as the Black Abyss Army quickly left. His eyes revealed a fierce light, and he then called over the captain of the guards to quickly restore the entrance to the city.

The captain ordered his guards to remove the sharp wooden fence blocking the entrance of the city. A large group of people gathered outside the city slowly moved toward the gate.

“Investigate. Investigate them one by one for me. Capture any suspicious people on the spot.” He didn’t know if it was because of Tang Zhe’s words, or because he wanted to show some of the people in the city that he was leaving, but the young master of the Liang family didn’t leave immediately after that. Instead, he went up to the high platform on the side of the city wall and looked at the people walking under the city gate.

The guards were also obedient. With a cold glint in their eyes, they stared at the passersby who entered the city gate one by one. From time to time, they would stop one or two people to interrogate them. Of course, most of this interrogation was done by paying a few silver coins. It was also a standard practice in the Azure Province.

However, when it came to Jiang Youyu’s turn, this rule might not be as applicable.

First of all, there was a fish in the river that hadn’t been in the Azure Province for too long. Naturally, he didn’t know this rule. Secondly, you want to take money out of Jiang You Yu’s pocket, in addition to Jiang You Yu’s own pleasure, otherwise you can take out a silver coin to try.

However, it was clear that Jiang Youyu had overestimated himself.

“Who are you, kid?” What kind of king is he? ” The guard glanced at Jiang You Yu and snorted, “Where did you come from?”

“Aqua …” Old Gu pulled Jiang Youyu, whose face was full of astonishment, wanting to find the blind guard to argue with him, before hastily replying. Old Gu knew what character Jiang You Yu had. It was a bad thing to make Jiang You Yu step in. Old Gu really wanted to go back and rest. He didn’t want to cause any more trouble.

“Sure, then everyone will pay five taels of silver.” The guard glanced at the three of them. At least, they looked like they had some money on them.

Jiang Youyu glanced at the city gate guards and finally realized what was going on. Wasn’t it just robbing him in a different way? However, the city gate guards were blind. They had actually used this move on him, Jiang Youyu. This was a move that would cause him to lose a lot of face.

“Do you know who I am? You dare to take my money? ” Jiang You Yu had his hands on his waist as he glared unhappily at the city gate guard.

The guard at the city gate looked at Jiang Youyu with a strange expression as if he had never heard of him before. After hearing the accent, the guard sneered, feeling even more dissatisfied with Jiang Youyu and the other two. Although being a city gate guard was not enough, people still had to show their face. Not to mention that the head of the city gate was still giving him some face.

“Right now, I suspect that the three of you are the criminals from the Ye Chonglou’s manor. Bighead, come over and arrest these three people.” Therefore, the city gate guards started to think about how to deal with Jiang Youyu and the other two.

The guards, who had noticed the situation over at the other side, acknowledged the order and headed towards Jiang Youyu and the other two.

They were the kind of outsiders who liked to enter the Azure Province the most. They thought that they were arrogant, but in the end, they still obediently paid the money and left one by one. After all, entering the Azure Continent’s City Guards Institution was their problem.
