  "Halt! Halt! All of you, halt!"

  Just as the situation in front of us was about to become extremely volatile and blood was about to flow like a river, a loud shout suddenly came from far away on the street.

  Right behind, a young man riding a white horse came galloping quickly and finally stopped steadily in front of the team of over 700 people: "Halt, halt, who allowed you to gather here? Lu Jiuying, as the leader of the Eastern Gate Garrison, failed to maintain order at the city gate, but instead followed and made trouble. What do you want to do, do you want to rebel?"

  Looking at the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him, Qi Baishi, the leader of the 700 men, was slightly taken aback, and then hastily said: "Young Master Tang Zheng, we received orders from above to cooperate with the City Guard Army to capture the criminal, now..."

  "Whose orders did you receive? We are all East Gate Guards, and we only need to listen to the orders of Governor Tang Zhengyuan. Since the governor's orders have not arrived yet, how can you act arbitrarily like this? What if some spies take advantage of the situation and sneak in? If something happens, can you bear the responsibility?"

  A young man named Tang Zheng on a white horse shouted loudly, his voice high-pitched, and directly put on a big hat.

  "Uh..."

  Lu Jiuying stood there, at a loss for what to do for the time being.

  "Get out! Get out quickly!"

  "Yes."

  Considering the person in front of him was a relative of their superior's superior, Lu Jiuying could only respond and retreat to one side, calling on those elite troops to continue maintaining order at the city gate.

  "And what are they doing, one by one, surrounding the city gate? Are they planning to rebel? Is there a large army hiding outside the city, letting them block the city gate and disrupt the order of the city gate, so that they can seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack and harm the peace of our Taixuan Kingdom's capital?"

  The captain of the city guard, who was initially speechless at the young man's absurd accusations, eventually stepped forward in a low tone: "We just received a report from the Yu Xuan Swordsmen Corps that someone has killed one of their captains, Baron Chang Le, and several elite soldiers. We've come to apprehend the culprit, so please don't interfere with our investigation, Baron Tang."

  "Fart!"

  Tang Zheng let out a loud roar, his expression stern as he said: "What nonsense is this? The Yuexuan Swordsmen Legion is one of the most elite legions in our kingdom. Every single soldier is a seasoned veteran, and every captain has the cultivation of a high-ranking swordsman. Who could possibly kill them, aside from those sword masters? Moreover, at present, the Yuexuan Swordsmen Legion is undergoing closed training in the military camp outside the city, and there are no orders for them to enter the imperial capital. Where did those soldiers from the Yuexuan Swordsmen Legion come from? Are you saying that someone dares to disregard the king's majesty, treating the Yuexuan Swordsmen Legion as their private army, mobilizing troops to enter the imperial capital on their own accord? Is this what you're trying to say?"

  "This... this..."

  The captain's forehead was immediately covered in sweat at this remark.

  The Jade Phantom Swordsmen Legion is a elite army that directly takes orders from the king, and no one else has the right to mobilize them except for the king. However, this army was trained by the Chang family after all, so although the king has strong control over them, there is still a small part of it in the hands of the Chang family. The Chang family usually moves some troops to do things, and everyone turns a blind eye, treating it as an unspoken rule within the industry.

  But now...

  Tang Zheng bluntly brought up this unspoken rule, making it clear that he was no longer giving the Chang family face. In this situation, if he were to respond, one misstep and he would immediately become a scapegoat pushed out by his superiors.

  "The Yu Xuan Swordsmen Corps is loyal to Your Majesty, but without your orders, how could they possibly enter the imperial capital? In my opinion, those who claim to be the Yu Xuan Swordsmen Corps are probably impostors, perhaps former notorious bandits who have sneaked into our imperial capital with ulterior motives. What we need to do now is to capture them as quickly as possible!"

  "This... Lord Táng Zhēng, we are just some officials..."

  Tang Zheng didn't listen to what the captain was saying, and directly waved his hand: "Although I'm just a small baron and not your superior, I also understand that if these evil-doing robbers cause trouble in the imperial capital, it will have what kind of influence. Can all of you still stand here unmoving?"

  "This... is..."

  "Still won't let go."

  Tang Zheng finished speaking and impatiently waved his hand, directly passing through the teams to arrive beside Wang Ting, who was surrounded.

  "Thank you."

  Wang Ting nodded slightly.

  At this time he had already recognized him, this young man, was the one he rescued from the Red Blooded Thief in the Temple Mission.

  "It should be me who thanks you, but this isn't the place to talk. I'm just a small baron, and even with my family's power, we can't intimidate them for long. Moreover, my family would never allow us to get involved in this storm and offend the Chang family. Let's leave the city quickly."

  Wang Ting nodded, he also didn't think that an unintentional move during the temple task would bring such generous treatment.

  If it weren't for Tang Zheng, he and Yin Xue might not have been able to break out of the encirclement of over 700 people.

  "Get out of the way."

  Tang Zheng shouted at the city gate guards with a false bravado, quickly clearing a path and leading the two of them swiftly out of the city. Before long, they had already left the capital.

  "Although the Chang family is currently in a prosperous period, after all, it's just an earl-level family. The private soldiers they raise will not exceed 300 people at most, and most of them have to guard the family estate. At best, only about 100 can be dispatched. Therefore, their main force is still the Yuexuan Swordsmen Legion. However, this legion is stationed west of the imperial capital, which is a considerable distance from the East Gate. Moreover, they don't dare to mobilize on a large scale. So, within four hours, we are safe. In these four hours, it's best to get as far away as possible."

  "We understand this point."

  "Take care."

  "Take care."

  Wang Ting nodded at Tang Zheng and turned his horse's head with Yin Xue, preparing to leave the city thoroughly.

  However, at the moment they turned around, a huge white tiger appeared in front of them, as if a king patrolling his territory, slowly approaching from afar. The kind of high-level fierce beast's oppressive aura rushed over, and the horses ridden by the three people suddenly became restless and fearful, and didn't dare to take another step forward.

  High-Ranking Ferocious Beast!

  That's a terrifying creature that even great swordsmen can't guarantee they can kill!

  "Fierce beast White Tiger..."

  Tang Zheng's pupils slightly condensed, his gaze instantly falling onto the body of that gigantic beast which was half a head taller than a horse...

  To be exact, it was the young man riding on the back of that white tiger!

  "Rise, Eastern Sun!"
