89: C89 Nangong City

C89 Nangong City

The defeat of Zhan Yang to Xiao Chen was a huge shock to these guards.

This was their undefeated war god.

But to Xiahou Lan and the others, this was reasonable. Zhan Yang looked at Xiao Chen. He didn't expect that he didn't even touch the corner of Xiao Chen's clothes.

This man was really as scary as he said.

When they arrived at the camp, Xiao Chen came out of his tent and arrived at the outer perimeter of the camp. In front of him was a wide river. The surface of the river was very calm and there were no ripples on the surface of the river. It didn't have the imposing manner of surging waves.

However, it was able to emit an incomparably vigorous aura.

The surface of the water looked like it was without a trace and the surface of the water was calm. However, the muddy water was surging and the undercurrents were interweaving. It was extremely dangerous.

The Heavenly Sun River was the boundary between the Huaiyang City and Nangong City.

Soldiers were stationed on both sides of the Heavenly Sun River. The two armies looked at each other across the river. They knew each other, but they never interacted with each other. No one dared to relax because they were afraid that the other party would attack them.

"Young master?"

Xiahou Lan looked around the camp and did not expect Xiao Chen to come here. She stood beside the river with Xiao Chen and looked at the river in front of her. Xiahou Lan was also very helpless.

"Prepare a boat for me tomorrow!"

"Young Master, do you want to cross the river? Zhan Yang and I will see you off in person." Xiahou Lan said worriedly. She was afraid that the entire Xuzhou knew about what Xiao Chen had done in Huaiyang City. He had defeated Shangguan Family and made Huaiyang City the largest city in Xuzhou.

She was afraid that countless people thought that Xiao Chen was a member of the Xiahou Family.

The Nangong Family and the Xiahou Family had never been on good terms with each other. Xiahou Lan was worried that Xiao Chen would be harmed by the Nangong Family if he went there.

"No need! Our fate ends here! If we continue forward, I'll have to leave on my own!" Xiao Chen shook his head slightly. He had come to Huaiyang City for the pity of his good friend, the Sleeve Sword Lord. Since the matter had ended, he had no connection with the Xiahou Family.

Xiahou Lan did not insist on her opinion because she knew who Xiao Chen was.

Even if she persisted, it would be meaningless.

The next morning, Xiahou Lan and Zhan Yang found a boat for Xiao Chen on the river bank. The size of the boat was not small. It could carry a carriage across the river.

The soldiers stationed on the other side of the river were curious and nervous when they prepared the boat. Could it be that they were going to attack?

In an instant, the army was ready for battle. The atmosphere instantly became serious.

"Young Master, keep moving forward and take care of yourself. Xiahou Lan will always pray for you in Xuzhou!" Xiahou Lan stepped forward and bowed to Xiao Chen. During this period of time, Xiahou Lan had learned a lot from Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen treated Xiahou Lan like a teacher and a friend.

"Take care of yourself in the front!"

Zhan Yang walked up and cupped his fists. He was a soldier who did not have any tricks up his sleeves. He always spoke frankly and straightforwardly.

Xiao Chen nodded. "This is my gift to the two of you." As he spoke, Xiao Chen handed the thing in his hand to Zhan Yang.

Zhan Yang did not know what was going on. He opened the yellow cloth and was stunned for a moment.

This was a book about a Daolord's martial skill.

When he woke up from his shock, he saw that Xiao Chen had already boarded the boat and was in the middle of the river.

old servant gently rowed the boat while Xiao Chen stood on the bow of the boat. Xiao Fuyao felt that there should be fish in the river, so she stared at the river very seriously.

"Listen to my orders!"

Just as the boat approached the shore, an angry shout came from the shore. The sound was neat and tidy. It was like thunder from the nine heavens. This sound could be said to shake the mountains and shake the earth.

The bowmen bent their bows and nocked their arrows. The sharp arrows pointed at Xiao Chen one after another.

As long as they gave the order, Xiao Chen would probably be pierced through by thousands of arrows in an instant.

Xiao Chen was ready to fight, but he did not think much of it. He did not look at Xiao Chen at all. He stood at the bow of the ship calmly. He looked around and felt like he was enjoying the scenery.

Gradually, the boat docked.

Xiao Chen got off the ship. old servant pulled the carriage down from the ship. With one last palm strike, the ship disappeared from the surface of the river like a shadow.

Xiahou Lan and Zhan Yang blinked and the boat docked in the blink of an eye.

"Who are you?"

Xiao Chen stood on the river bank and stretched. A man walked towards him. He was holding a big ring knife. His voice was very rough. He had a square face and a beard. He looked very fierce at first glance and made people respect him.

"Xiao Chen!"

Xiao Chen looked at the man in front of him and answered.

"Are you the Xiao Chen who helped the Huaiyang City expand its territory and destroy the army of Holy Blue City?" The burly man sized Xiao Chen up and down with suspicion in his eyes.

They had heard about Xiao Chen before. To be able to kill an army of one million soldiers, he must be a man who killed countless people and had an evil look on his face. However, he looked completely different from Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen looked like a weak scholar.

"What brings you here?"

The burly man continued to ask.

"Excuse me!"

Xiao Chen said. If he wanted to leave the Xuzhou, he would have to pass through the Nangong City. Therefore, he had come here without any schemes or thoughts.

"Who are you?" Xiao Chen asked the burly man.

"Zhao Meng of the Dragon Tiger Battalion!"

Xiao Chen nodded slightly. Zhao Meng's status in the army was no less than Zhan Yang's. Both of them had their own merits.

Xiao Chen took a step forward. Zhao Meng suddenly raised his bow and aimed it at Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen stopped and looked at Zhao Meng in front of him. "You are making a wrong decision!"

"As the commander of the Dragon Tiger Battalion, I have an obligation to guard against everything. What if you are sent by Huaiyang City?" Zhao Meng looked at Xiao Chen and said coldly.

"I advise you to let your men put down the bows. Otherwise, this land will be stained with blood, and the river behind me will be dyed red."

Xiao Chen said word by word with a smile. His tone didn't contain any emotion, but it made people feel fear, as if Xiao Chen wasn't joking. If he didn't listen, blood would flow like rivers.

These words sounded like the cries from hell, as if they were extracting their souls.

It was cold and domineering, and it made everyone's hair stand on end.

Zhao Meng frowned slightly. He did not believe it, but he did not dare to act rashly, because Xiao Chen had killed Shangguan Yun's army. That was a genuine strong army. Shangguan Yun's soldiers and generals didn't even have the ability to fight back. This showed how terrifying Xiao Chen was.

However, the arrow was on the bow and could not be pulled back. If they stopped now, it would definitely damage the military's prestige and how they would lead the soldiers to fight in the future.

"Stop!"

Just as Zhao Meng was swaying left and right, a voice sounded. A person walked out from the crowd. He was dressed in embroidered clothes and was dressed very carefully.

Everyone saw this person put down the bows in his hands.

"Greetings, Second Young Master!"

Zhao Meng immediately cupped his fists and bowed to this man. Nangong Chu walked in front of Xiao Chen with a smile on his face. "I thought we wouldn't be able to meet again in the Huaiyang City after that. I didn't expect Brother Xiao to come to Nangong City!"

"I didn't come here on purpose. I just came along the way."

Xiao Chen was simple and concise. He completely ignored Nangong Chu's enthusiasm. Everyone looked at Xiao Chen. This tone, this attitude, this high and mighty attitude, it was as if Nangong Chu was begging Xiao Chen for something.

Nangong Chu didn't show any displeasure in the face of Xiao Chen's cold attitude. In Nangong Chu's eyes, anyone with talent and ability would have their own pride. You only needed to find their weakness, then these people would let go of their pride and willingly follow you.

There was no doubt about Xiao Chen's strength, Nangong Chu. If this person helped the Nangong City's City Lord position, it would be his.

"Since Brother Xiao has come to Nangong City, I must do my best to be the host. Don't worry, I will personally send you away."

Nangong Chu said with a smile.

"It's hard to be kind! Lead the way."

After saying that, Xiao Chen turned around and returned to the carriage. Nangong Chu was the only one left. The surrounding people were dumbfounded. They were completely stunned on the spot. What was going on? This man was too arrogant! He actually dared to leave Nangong Chu alone.

This was Nangong Chu, a genius of the Nangong family. Nangong Chu was a very kind man. No matter who Nangong Chu was, he had no prejudice against them. Therefore, Nangong Chu was very popular in the city.

Compared to Nangong Yu, Nangong Yu was much more straightforward. It could be said that there was a clear distinction between black and white, and there was absolutely no ambiguity. Right was right, wrong was wrong, there was no reason, no reason.

Because of his personality, Nangong Yu was often not liked by others.

However, Nangong Yu's talent in martial arts was very high. In addition, he was the eldest son. Therefore, he was still quite famous in Nangong City.

"Second young master?"

Zhao Meng went up and asked in a low voice. This Xiao Chen was still so arrogant.

Nangong Chu smiled and waved his hand. "Defend the border well!" After saying that, he turned around and left. old servant drove the car and followed behind Nangong Chu.

With Nangong Chu leading the way, the road was very smooth.

In less than a day, they arrived at Nangong City.

On a plain built in Nangong City, a city stood tall on the vast plain. Looking at the city from afar, it seemed very lonely.

The city was square and surrounded by 30 meters tall city walls. There were city gates in the east, west, north, and south.

Entering the Nangong City, it was very lively.

Nangong Chu found a place for Xiao Chen to stay in. The place was also very exquisite. The surrounding environment was like a painting. The most important thing was that it was very quiet.

Xiao Chen didn't refuse.

"Young master, this Nangong Chu has evil intentions!" old servant said after Nangong Chu left.

Xiao Chen nodded. Xiao Chen had seen this man when they met in Huaiyang City. He was good at planning.

"I would like to see what kind of plan he has." Xiao Chen observed the layout of the courtyard and said with a smile. Nangong Chu had brought this upon himself.

The news that Xiao Chen had come to Nangong City quickly spread throughout Nangong City. Everyone was talking about it. They were very curious about why Xiao Chen had come to Nangong City.

However, most of these rumors were related to Nangong Chu and Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen had only come to Nangong City because of Nangong Chu's invitation.2

Xiao Chen nodded with a smile as he listened to old servant's detailed explanation. All of this was within his expectations.

"Nangong Yu, what do you mean by Old Two invited Xiao Chen here?" Bei Mingxuan asked Nangong Yu, who was sitting opposite him.

No one knew that Bei Mingxuan and Nangong Yu were good friends. They were as close as brothers. They knew each other when they went out. Both of them were geniuses of Xuzhou, so they naturally wanted to spar with each other.

They had fought a few times, and they hated each other for not meeting each other too late. They had a feeling of empathy.

After that, the two of them often sparred and discussed Dao.

"Second Brother wants to use Xiao Chen to suppress me for this matter!" Nangong Yu frowned. He hated thinking about things like this the most. If Nangong Chu liked the position of city lord, he would definitely agree to it.

However, this scheme behind his back made Nangong Yu unhappy.

"Then what should we do?"

"Let's go visit them." Nangong Yu looked around the pavilion. "Since Lao Er has asked me a question, I'll go and take it. If I don't go, I'll think I'm scared."

"Alright, I will go too. I also want to see if this person has three heads and six arms or something!" Bei Mingxuan said excitedly.

Both of them were martial arts addicts. They naturally had to pay a visit when they heard about experts.
