Every time Jiang Ning said a word, the guard captain's body trembled. By the time he finished speaking, the guard captain had completely collapsed on the ground.
Upon seeing this, the old village chief and others showed shocked expressions.
They couldn't believe that the so-called rebellion by bandits was actually done by the guards of the city lord's palace!
The villagers pay monthly taxes, isn't it for the blessing of Euphorbia City?
But who would have thought that the person who stretched out his claws towards them and others was the person they placed their hope on and sought protection from!
The collapse of faith left the old village chief in despair.
"Why, why is this like this..." He murmured blankly.
Jiang Ning's fists hidden in his sleeves tightened and loosened, and he suppressed his anger and continued: "Tell me, who asked you to do this!"
The captain of the guard knew that the matter had come to this, and it would not matter whether he said it or not, so he immediately told everything exactly.
It turned out that the person who asked them to do this was not the city lord of Euphorbia City, but the son of the city lord, the number one dude in Euphorbia City. Because the city wanted to strengthen the city, a lot of gold and silver was spent on the construction, and the second generation ancestor was nervous.
, just came up with this idea.
At first, they only robbed gold and silver, but over time, villagers in many villages learned the trick, took detours, and missed several times in succession. The young city lord couldn't stand it, so at the suggestion of his staff, he started selling people.
Old Shi and others were captured by them and planned to be sold to mining sites and brothels according to men and women respectively. If there were beautiful girls, they would be captured by the young city lord as captives and raised, and this was how much he spent.
One of the important reasons.
By the time the guard finished speaking, the coffin bearer in the village had red eyes.
Once, his wife and daughter followed the villagers to Euphorbia City to choose a dress for their daughter and her hairdo. However, they were kidnapped by robbers on the way back and there was no news about them.
Now that I think about it, he must have been kidnapped by that beast in Euphorbia City!
"You beasts!" The coffin bearer rushed up like a wild animal and struggled with the captain of the guard.
It took everyone a lot of effort to separate them.
"Little brother Jiang... No, sir, I beg you to make the decision for me!" The coffin bearer looked like he was crazy. He knelt in front of Jiang Ning and kowtowed.
The captain of the guard on the right also made a loud noise, and asked Jiang Ning to spare his life for the sake of his ability to do anything.
Jiang Ning sighed, knelt down and said to the coffin bearer: "Uncle Qian, don't worry, leave this matter to me. As long as my wife and little sister are still alive, I will definitely bring them back together."
"As for these scum, they should pay the price if they do something wrong!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guard captain who was kowtowing over there suddenly became violent and attacked Jiang Ning with his sword.
He heard Jiang Ning’s murderous intention!
But Jiang Ning moved faster than him. He made a fist with his right hand and touched the knife with his fist. The blade was broken inch by inch.
"You are willing to be your pawn. I believe that many of the women who suffered have suffered at your hands. How can a scum like you have the nerve to beg for mercy?"
After breaking the blade, Jiang Ning changed his fists into claws and grabbed the guard captain's neck, lifting him up from the ground.
"Spare... spare my life!" The guard captain's face turned red from being pinched and he couldn't breathe.
Jiang Ning didn't listen to his begging for mercy at all. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and when he exerted force with his five fingers, he only heard a click, and blood spilled out of the corner of the self-defense captain's mouth.
He left the guard captain's body on the ground like a piece of trash, turned to look at the other guards, and said, "Go back and tell your master that I will come to ask for him in person soon."
After hearing this, the other guards climbed on their horses and fled back to Euphorbia City.
"Village Chief, everyone, please get up." Since the guards had left, Jiang Ning naturally couldn't let them continue to kneel.
The villagers were a little cautious, but it was the old village chief who got up first before they dared to get up.
However, after such a commotion, it was obvious that there was a gap between everyone and Jiang Ning, and the eyes looking at Jiang Ning were full of awe and fear that they had not seen before.
Jiang Ning sighed secretly in his heart and said: "The truth of the matter has been revealed. The village chief will take them back to the village to wait for the news. I will go to Euphorbia City alone to bring them back."
The coffin bearer wanted to follow, but was held back by the crowd.
"Master Jiang, you must be careful. Little old man, I know what you are capable of, but there are many strong people in Euphorbia City. If you really can't do anything, please put your own safety first, and don't do it for the sake of the village.
You broke yourself in vain."
Before leaving, the old village chief pulled Jiang Ning aside and whispered.
"Don't worry, old village chief, Jiang Ning has his own sense of proportion."
Walking along Guan Road, the scenery along the way is pleasant.
The green rice on both sides is rippling in the wind, and occasionally the sound of frogs and insects is heard, which makes it feel very peaceful.
Jiang Ning was not in a hurry, he was playing while walking, and from time to time he would chat with the salesmen who were resting along the way, which made him feel quite at ease.
The sky gradually darkened, and the distant mountains formed silhouettes in the night.
Jiang Ning finally arrived at Euphorbia City.
There are thirty-seven cities in Wuzhou, and the remaining thirty-six cities are all named after weapons. Euphorbia City is one of them, and the remaining city is the main city of Wuzhou.
It is also the place where Zhan Zong is located, called "Wudi City".
Euphorbia City is surrounded by water on one side and mountains on two sides. It has a vast territory and rich products, especially iron ore, copper ore and other resources. It can be said that it is the largest supplier of weapons and military materials in Wuzhou, and it is highly valued by the War Sect.
As the Lord of Euphorbia City, Ouyang Qianqiu is conscientious and worthy of the training given to him by the Duo Zhan Sect.
Not only is he diligent in government affairs, but he is also a talented person.
The iron ore leftovers were mixed with clay to reinforce the city wall, making the city wall strong enough to withstand the attack of Nascent Soul warriors. At the same time, water conservancy was built and farmland was irrigated, so that the surrounding villages could live a life of abundant food and clothing.
Jiang Ning walked along and played while walking. The purpose was to get some information about him from others, so as to determine what kind of person Ouyang Qianqiu was and whether he was involved in human trafficking.
Otherwise, if you rush into the city rashly, you might end up not being able to rescue someone, and even get stuck in there.
Fortunately, word of mouth passed down that Ouyang Qianqiu seemed to be a good city lord.
"In that case, I will come to meet you, City Lord Ouyang." Jiang Ning appeared under the city gate and said with a playful expression.
He deliberately let go of the guards during the day, also wanting to test the attitude of Euphorbia City. If Ouyang Qianqiu was involved, there would definitely be cultivators running around in the city to keep an eye on them, and the city lord's palace would also step up security.
After all, practitioners in the Golden Core Realm already have a certain level of assassination ability, but now it seems that the situation they expected has not yet occurred.
There were soldiers holding halberds at the city gate, but no one blocked the way to search.
Jiang Ning observed for a moment, then followed the crowd of people along the main road as if nothing had happened and entered Euphorbia City.
