On the afternoon of the second day, Qin Shuang and her group successfully arrived at Liang City.
Standing outside the city gate, one could see that the tens of meters tall bluestone city wall was like a huge dragon lying on the ground. The huge dragon's head and tail were biting and swallowing up the area within a radius of dozens of miles.
The green moss and weeds on the city wall were proving to the world: "This is an ancient city that has been preserved for thousands of years.”
At dusk, the people who went out began to return to the city.
On the official road, there were martial artists who came on horseback, ordinary people, and all kinds of travel-worn traveling merchants. In short, all of this was proof that the people of the city were not ordinary people."The City of Liang is not only a place where humans gather, but it is also a prosperous city.”
"Young Master Shuang, the paper flower pigeon sent a letter saying that they have already entered the city.”
"Hmm? Enter the city immediately."
As she spoke, Qin Shuang first leaped down from the horse before striding towards the city gate entrance alone.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Those who want to enter the city should line up first. Each person will have to pay a single coin to enter the city…"
A guard shouted.
Hearing that it would take time to enter the city, Qin Shuang also asked,""Boss Xue, is the entrance fee set by Master?”
"There's no such rule. I came here the year before last. Young Master Shuang, after the Sect Master conquered Liang City, he only issued one rule, which was to abide by the law and order of the city and not to use force in the city.'”
Actually, Qin Shuang didn't believe that Xiong Ba would do something like 'draining the pond to fish' and infuriating the people.
After getting Xue Antian's confirmation, Qin Shuang could not help but guess,""It seems like the City Lord of Liang is deliberately taking bribes behind Xiong Ba's back.”
Towards this, Qin Shuang did not feel too disgusted. On the contrary, Qin Shuang was secretly impressed by the City Lord of Liang's action of 'tickling a tiger's head'.
After paying the entrance fee and successfully entering Liang City, Qin Shuang first instructed Xue Antian to send someone to find an inn to stay in while he brought Xue Antian and a few other attendants to stroll around the city.
The city gates of Liang were opened every day at dawn and closed at dusk. During this period, everyone could enter and exit freely. Once the time was over, without Xiong Ba's token, no one could enter and exit without permission.
This was also the mainstream lifestyle in this world.
Of course, this did not mean that humans in this world did not have nightlife. On the contrary, in Liang City, every night, brothels, casinos, and other fireworks venues of all sizes would release their powerful vitality and charm like bamboo shoots after a rain.
……
"Wu wu…"
All of a sudden, a mournful cry caught Qin Shuang's attention.
Looking over, he saw a group of swaggering attendants surrounding a woman in the middle.
"No, no, please let my father go. He's already dead…"
The woman begged bitterly.
Before the woman could finish her sentence, a man had already said arrogantly,"Aiyo, the little beauty is also so alluring when she cries…"
"Young Master Shuang, it's Chu Xiong's son, Chu Peng.”
"Chu Xiong?"
"He's the City Lord sent by the Faction Leader to manage Liang City.”
While Xue Antian was explaining, Qin Shuang had already stepped forward.
When they arrived at the place where the crowd gathered, they saw a middle-aged man who had passed away lying on a straw mat. The woman was about 14 or 15 years old and was dressed in coarse linen clothes. There was a large piece of white paper hanging in front of her, on which was written: "Selling myself to bury my father, willing to be a slave for life.”
As the saying went, the dead were the most important.
It is also said that all kinds of evil are the first.
It was broad daylight, and Chu Peng, as the son of the city lord, not only didn't set a good example, but he also took the lead in bullying the weak.
Just these two points alone were enough to make anyone with a righteous heart pull out their sword to help.
He looked around. There were not many martial artists with swords and sabers, but there were also quite a few. However, not a single one of them took the initiative to help the woman before him.?
"Eh? I killed her father yesterday and humiliated her in the street today. If this old man knew martial arts, I would definitely…"
"Old Man Sun, keep your voice down. They are from the World Association, and we commoners can't afford to offend them.”
"Isn't that so?"
"If it wasn't for the fact that I'm afraid of the leader of the World Association, Xiong Ba, someone would've torn Chu Peng into pieces by now.”
Hearing the discussions of the surrounding crowd, Qin Shuang couldn't help but sigh inwardly."Xiong Ba has been a fierce and ambitious man for a lifetime, but who would have thought that his subordinates were just a bunch of good-for-nothings.”
After regaining her clarity, Qin Shuang walked towards Chu Peng and the others.
"Cough cough…"
"Hmm? Who are you? Mind your own business, or the King of Hell will take you away!”
Qin Shuang did not pay any attention to the servant who was shouting. Instead, she smiled and said,"Young Master Chu, as the young city lord, you have a noble status. Why should you feel sorry for a weak woman? How about this, I'll let the servants bury this girl's father first, and you and I can find a restaurant to have a drink?”
Firstly, Qin Shuang did not reveal his identity, and secondly, he chose to prioritize peace, so his words were extremely polite.
As soon as Qin Shuang finished speaking, Chu Peng, who was dressed in brocade and holding a folding fan, walked up slowly.
Chu Peng came to Qin Shuang's side and casually fanned himself with the fan in his hand. He tilted his head and looked at Qin Shuang. After a while, he scolded,""Who are you? Where did it come from? What are you doing in Liang City?"
Chu Peng asked three questions in a row, each one of them was like a high and mighty emperor.
"Young City Lord, my status is low and I'm just a merchant.”
"Escort? Oh? So you're a bodyguard." As he muttered, Chu Peng suddenly raised his voice and shouted,""A mere escort actually dares to meddle in this young master's business. Do you want to die? Someone, disfigure this pretty boy. I'm annoyed.”
In Jianghu, people couldn't help themselves.
Some people killed each other for martial arts, some for swords, and some for fame and fortune. They never thought that Chu Peng would be jealous and troubled because of Qin Shuang's face.
" How arrogant. It's your fortune that our young master gave you face. You actually…"
Before Xue Antian could finish speaking, Qin Shuang had already waved her hand to stop him.
Initially, Qin Shuang did not want things to worsen. However, she did not want to lose face. This was not Qin Shuang's fault.
"Young City Lord, I have good intentions. Please reconsider.”
"Think twice? Missing my ass! What are you guys still standing there for? Don't kill him, just make his face ugly.”
Immediately, Chu Peng's seven guards surrounded Qin Shuang in the center.
The grudges of the martial world could not be explained clearly. Only martial arts could be seen under the sword.
"Brat, don't blame the heavens and people. You can only blame yourself for being blind! Go…"
"Kill…"
The three of them attacked quickly. They were only at Houtian Realm Level Two or Level Three.
"When someone invades, you have to be ruthless.”-- This was one of Qin Shuang's ways of life.
Just as the three of them were about to reach him, Qin Shuang moved. Her feet stepped on Frost Treading on Thin Ice, and her hands clenched into fists as she struck out at lightning speed. She used Frost and Snow Flying in a row for three consecutive times. Every move was so frosty that it pierced into the bones. The person who came was instantly lying on the ground with a miserable cry.
"Hmm? You actually have some skills. A bunch of good-for-nothings, and you still need this young master to personally take action…"
Chu Peng muttered and suddenly rushed forward, snatching the big knife from the guard's hand along the way. The big knife slashed and slashed, aiming for Qin Shuang's lower body.
" Young Master, it's the Five Tigers Gate Breaking Saber Technique. Be careful…" Xue Antian was so shocked that he warned Qin Shuang.
Qin Shuang didn't have much actual combat experience, and he didn't have much combat experience either. Facing Chu Peng's Five Tigers Gate Breaking Blade, he was at a disadvantage for a moment.
Even so, Qin Shuang still had the ability to protect herself.
"Haha, don't run if you have the ability. Today, this young master will turn you into the ugliest monster in the world…Kill! White Tiger Jumps into the Stream…"
With the White Tiger Jumping into the Ravine, the aggressive Chu Peng charged towards Qin Shuang like a tiger charging into the valley. He had already locked onto Qin Shuang's lower body.
However, just as Chu Peng was in the air, Qin Shuang suddenly charged forward and punched his dantian at an extremely fast speed.
"Ah…"
Suddenly, Chu Peng suffered internal injuries.
Before Chu Peng could fly away, Qin Shuang suddenly grabbed his right wrist with one hand and used Bright Jade Skill to absorb his internal strength.
"What happened? Not good, my internal energy…Go to hell, pretty boy!”
Although Chu Peng couldn't borrow the force of the attack, he suddenly felt something in his sleeve.| Nine tiny steel needles shot out.
"Hidden weapons? Young…"
Without waiting for Xue Antian's reminder, Qin Shuang had already turned around and appeared behind Chu Peng. She leaped into the air and kicked him to the ground.
At the same time, a strange arm glove appeared in Qin Shuang's right hand out of thin air. It was like the blade used by ninjas in her memory.
"Hmph, today is a small punishment. If you dare to do evil in the future and fall into my hands again, I will kill you without mercy!”
Facing Qin Shuang's killing intent, Chu Peng actually felt guilty, so much so that he ran to the side in a panic.
