C234 Obstruction!
Imperial City, four gates.
After these few days of hard work, these four main city gates finally regained their former glory.
However, even though the city gates were rebuilt, if one wanted to enter, it would not be so easy. They would need to go through heavy checks.
The reason why the city gates were so heavily guarded was because the King Ning's mansion had just taken control of the city. Naturally, they were afraid of those foreign Martial Cultivators. It wasn't a big deal if there were fewer people, but once there were more people, it would be a huge problem.
Wang Ren had been very pleased with himself recently. His father was a Supernatural Stage Martial Cultivator. He was fortunate enough to participate in the great battle of the Imperial Palace more than ten days ago. Although he was only one of the more than three hundred Supernatural Stage Martial Cultivators, with his contributions and status, he was given the position of captain of the Southern City Gate's garrison.
This position might not be high in rank, but it was fortunate that it had many benefits. In just a few short days, Wang Ren had earned several thousand gold coins. This was a wealth that many people would not be able to earn in their entire lives!
"You, stop, who is it?" Wang Ren looked at a middle-aged man who was about forty years old and asked.
This middle-aged man wore embroidered clothes and was slightly fat. He seemed to be quite rich. Behind him... There was a large caravan of around a hundred people... They were escorting a batch of goods and preparing to enter the city. It was obvious that this was a merchant.
"Sir, we are just merchants selling medicinal herbs. This is a little bit of respect, please allow us to enter." The middle-aged man smiled and took out a bag of gold coins and secretly handed it over.
Wang Ren took it without batting an eyelid and weighed it. It was quite enough. He glanced at it casually and nodded at the soldiers behind him. "Alright, let them pass!"
"Brother Wuyan, you lied to me. You said this place was not good. This place is too beautiful. It is many times better than our Panshan County!"
Suddenly, a tender voice came from behind him.
Wang Ren turned around and saw a group of people coming from behind. The group was quite long, at least a thousand of them. He couldn't help but feel delighted. This time, he would be able to get a big one.
However, when he saw their clothes, he could not help but raise his eyebrows. Although these people's clothes were not bad, they were only slightly better than ordinary people. Even the clothes of some small families were much better than these fellows.
So they were a group of poor people!
Wang Ren came to this conclusion in his heart, and his eyes immediately became somewhat cold.
"Stop, who are you all? Why are you entering the city?"
Wang Ren stopped them and asked.
"Sir, we are all from Panshan County. Our purpose in coming to the Imperial City is very simple. We want to settle down here."
Ji Weitian walked in front. When he saw a military officer emitting a terrifying aura and dignity, he immediately felt inferior and answered respectfully.
"Settle down? There are so many people here. Do you think I'm a fool?" Wang Ren looked at the other party with a cold smile. The other party really did not know what was good for him. He did not show any sign of wanting to enter the city. He did not care about the other party's expression at all. The other party didn't know how powerful he was.
"I can see that you are up to no good and want to rebel. Men, take them down at once!"
With a command, the soldiers at the back immediately charged forward with weapons in their hands.
"You're lying, my father isn't like this. There were several hundred of them just now as well. You didn't ask for anything, so just let them go! Why can't we? Why can't we? " When the little fellow heard that someone was framing his father, he immediately became unhappy. He pointed at the large merchant group in front of him and said angrily.
"Little brat, what did you say?" Wang Ren flew into a rage out of humiliation and stared at Ji Wufeng.
"Sir, please calm down. Children are not sensible and speak nonsense. This is a little bit of respect from us. Sir, please make an exception. Let us enter the city. " As an experienced martial artist, how could Ji Weitian not know what was going on? He did not want to have a conflict with the people here, so he immediately took out a gold coin pouch and stuffed it into it.
After taking the money pouch, Wang Ren restrained himself and slightly called out. His face turned gloomy again, "That's all. Are you teasing me? You have thousands of people. If it were ten thousand, you would cause trouble inside. Wouldn't I be asking for trouble? "
"A hundred people. With this amount of weight, you can only go in a hundred people at most."
"This..."
Ji Weitian gritted his teeth. He still felt that it was inappropriate to have a conflict with the other party. He planned to settle the matter peacefully and took out another bag of gold coins, ready to hand it over.
Seeing the other party's actions, Wang Ren smiled. A hint of pride flashed across his eyes. Hmph, a group of country bumpkins who came from some remote and poor village also want to fight me. They don't know what death is.
However, just as the money bag was about to reach Wang Ren's hand, an arm suddenly stretched out. In the blink of an eye, the money bag disappeared.
"Who?"
Wang Ren's smile froze. The fat that was about to fly out of his mouth flew and he immediately roared.
"Uncle Weitian, why do you have to do this? Don't you think it's unnecessary to do this with me here?"
A handsome young man appeared in Wang Ren's eyes. He had an imposing appearance. Although his clothes were not very gorgeous, it gave people a feeling of reverence.
"Wuyan, I know how powerful you are, but I don't want to offend too many people in the Imperial City!" Ji Weitian said with a bitter smile.
As the patriarch of Ji family, he had to consider the safety of the people of Ji family. Ji Wuyan was indeed very powerful, but the Ji family was too weak. Once Ji Wuyan left, wouldn't the Ji family fall into a state of being bullied and bullied by others?
Therefore, before the Ji family fully matured, he didn't want to offend too many people in the Imperial City. He didn't want to offend too many people.
"Third brother, why should we be afraid of him? Our Yan will kill as many people as he comes!" Ji Zhentian didn't show any signs of fear. He said domineeringly from the side.
Looking at his expression, he was afraid that others would not know how powerful his son was.
"That's right, Brother Wuyan is the strongest!" The little guy nodded seriously, his face full of admiration.
Ji Weitian smiled bitterly and did not say anything.
"I see that all of you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Men, arrest all of them for me..." Hearing that arrogant tone, Wang Ren also became exceptionally furious.
"Pa!"
Before he could finish speaking, a clear and loud slap suddenly sounded by everyone's ears.
Everyone looked over and saw a person flying backwards and heavily crashing onto the ground, landing a few meters away.
"You dare to hit me? No! It's really the opposite! Hurry up and call people over! Someone is trying to rebel!" Wang Ren was instantly stunned by the beating and immediately cried out in fear.
Ji Wuyan stood where he was and looked at him coldly.
The defending troops moved very quickly. In just a few breaths of time, thousands of soldiers appeared and surrounded the people of Ji family.
"What's going on?"
A middle-aged general in the lead stood out and asked in a deep voice.
"General Lu, they, they are not willing to cooperate with the investigation and even beat up their subordinates. Wang Ren stepped forward and pointed at the people of Ji family. Especially Ji Wuyan. His eyes were filled with hatred as he spoke fiercely.
Lu Han looked at the wound on Wang Ren's face. It didn't seem like a lie. It was obvious that it was real. He nodded. Just as he was about to give the order, his pupils shrunk when he saw someone.
"Pa!"
With a crisp sound, a figure flew out.
"General Lu, you hit the wrong person. You should have hit them!" Wang Ren felt dizzy. He pointed at Ji Wuyan and the others and said.
"Hit them?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Han sneered and appeared in front of Wang Ren in a flash. He swung his arm and with a bang, he was sent flying again.
"I'm the one who hit you!"
"Ah!"1
Lu Xuan stood up and shouted crazily. His two faces were swollen like pig heads. His eyes were red as he stared at Lu Han. "Lu, you've gone too far. Do you know who my father is? Just you wait. I'll get my father to deal with you immediately!"
Without saying another word, he crushed a jade talisman in his hand.
"Good! Very good! On the contrary, he actually dared to offend his superiors. Before your father arrived, I'll teach you a lesson on your father's behalf. " Lu Han was beyond furious. As a general who guarded the city gates, although his status wasn't very high, he was still a Supernatural Stage expert. Today, he was actually threatened by a mere captain.
Pah! Pah!
Crisp and clear slaps continuously rang out. Miserable screams that sounded like pigs being slaughtered rang out in the sky above the city gates.
This scene stunned the people of Ji family!
"Good, you did well. Right, this is how it should be. Hit me hard, and I'll let you bully us!" The little guy seemed to not be able to vent his anger. As he shouted, he clapped his hands excitedly.
"Stop!"
Suddenly.
A loud, furious voice could be heard from the sky, which exploded like thunder.
Everyone looked over and saw a figure flying toward them from the sky. In the blink of an eye, he had appeared in front of them.
It was a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Wang Ren!
"Dad! Save me! He had gone crazy! He wants to kill me! " When Wang Ren saw Wang Ming coming, it was as if he had seen his savior, and he immediately cried out miserably.
Wang Ming looked at his son who had been beaten badly. His heart was bleeding. He hadn't even beaten Wang Ming before.
His eyes turned red as he looked at Lu Han, trying his best to suppress his anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Han, what do you mean by this? What did my son do to offend you? If you don't give me a reasonable explanation... Today, this old man will fight you to the death! "
If it wasn't for the fact that the other party's strength made him a little fearful, he wouldn't have talked nonsense with the other party right now, and directly attacked.
"Explain, I didn't. If you want to explain, go find that person if you have the ability!" Lu Han said indifferently.
"Who?"
Wang Ming said angrily.
Lu Han raised his arm and pointed forward. Wang Ming's face was filled with anger as he looked in the direction of the other party's finger. A handsome young man's face appeared in his line of sight.
He narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, as if he had thought of someone. Instantly, his pupils constricted, and the anger on his face turned into fear. Cold sweat kept popping out from his forehead. A bone-chilling cold was born in his heart...
