BXBX NOVEL Chapter 156 - 156 Surround Them
A group of soldiers stood out from the city tower and shouted, “What are you doing? The city gate has been closed, we have to enter the city tomorrow!”
Ming Zhiyan said in a deep voice, “I am the county magistrate of Shifeng County, Ming Zhiyan. I have something important to see the prefect of Cairo City! Quickly open the city gate!”
When Wei Jun heard Ming Zhiyan’s name, his eyes flickered. He knew that Ming Zhiyan had killed the Third Young Master of the prefect’s family. It could be said that the prefect had a grudge against him. If he could help the prefect…
When he thought of the opportunity to make a contribution, his heart pounded violently. His face flushed red as he suppressed his excitement and said, “I have to report this matter to the prefect before I can open the city gates! Please wait a moment!”
Ming Zhiyan’s face was grim. If Song Yuancheng knew about this beforehand, there would be many troubles. He immediately took out the jade pendant that the Emperor had given him before he left. He said loudly, “This is the Kunlun jade pendant that His Majesty gave us. Seeing the jade pendant is like seeing his majesty. I order you to open the city gates quickly!”
Great Wei had a total of three Kunlun jade pendants. Seeing the jade pendant was like seeing the Emperor. Other than not being able to command the army, everyone had to listen to the orders of the person holding the jade pendant.
The soldiers on the city wall were shocked. They all fell to the ground and shouted, “Greetings, your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!”
Wei Jun was anxious. Once the Kunlun Jade pendants appeared, they had to open the city gates immediately. This way, the prefect definitely would not have time to prepare.
He ordered a soldier in a low voice, “Quickly go to the prefect and inform the prefect that Ming Zhiyan is here.”
The small soldier replied in a low voice and quickly ran away.
Wei Jun dawdled for a long time and only slowly opened the city gates when he saw that he could not delay any longer.
Ming Zhiyan led a group of people and horses and rode into the city with a cold and stern expression on his face.
Every house in the city was closed, and all was quiet. Only the occasional sound of insects could be heard.
The orderly and stern footsteps of the iron cavalry broke the silence. From time to time, there would be human heads moving in the house to see what the sound was.
Wang Li asked solemnly, “Master, where are we going to find Miss Jian?”
Ming Zhiyan’s body was exuding a cold air that prevented strangers from approaching, he said with a cold face, “Surround the prefect’s residence!”
“Yes!”
Ming Zhiyan rarely looked like this ever since she came to Shifeng County, Wang Li felt both respect and fear in his heart. It seemed that Prefect Song was really in danger this time.
Before the little soldier who went to inform the secret had time to reach his destination, he saw a team of iron cavalry galloping over from the wide street. The soldiers on horseback were holding torches, illuminating the dark Cairo City as if it was daytime. The beam of light shot straight to the clouds, he was so scared that his legs were trembling. He cowered in the corner and did not dare to go out. After the team had passed, he ran back with trembling legs. His legs were already wet.
In the magistrate’s mansion, Ming Zhiyan had ordered people to surround the mansion. When the doorman inside heard the commotion, he rubbed his eyes and cursed, “What are you doing? You’re disturbing my sleep!”
When he pushed open the door, he saw that the cold and stern soldiers were shrouded in the warm light of the torches. It was as if a god of death had descended upon the world. He was so scared that he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, “Please spare my life! Please spare my life!”
The soldiers outside did not pay any attention to him. All of them looked ahead with determined eyes.
A servant inside saw the scene outside. He was shocked and quickly ran to inform his master.
Lin Zhiqing was wearing a black suit and quietly sticking to the roof. He lifted a tile and watched the movements inside. Just as he was about to jump down, a loud shout suddenly came from inside, “Master! Master! It’s bad!”
He paused and quietly shrank back on the roof.
