The ground was violently shaking, everybody was absolutely dumbstruck. Why would such an army come to Yangzhou City?
“Quickly, quickly, close the gate!” shouted some guards on top of the gate in panic.
“Shut the hell up, we have to keep it open, if somebody closes the gate, I’ll kill him!” shouted the leader of the guards. He was furious at those bastards who wanted to die. With such an army of armored-horses, if the gate was closed, a single attack would be enough to destroy it. Besides, if they made the army angry, such an army could massacre the entire city.
Amongst the guards on the city gate, none of them had the courage to fight. They were scared to death and their faces deathly pale. None of them had ever seen such a huge army in perfect formation.
That sort of army was only seen on a battlefield but not in a small town like Yangzhou City.
“Quickly, go and tell the head of the city, hurry up!” shouted one of the guards. Obviously, they didn’t know what to do. All they could think about was telling Na Lan Xiong.
“Roger.” said a few guards when they heard the order and then immediately left. After all, who wanted to stay there? If the army attacked, they would all die.
After that, when the vast army arrived near the Yangzhou City gate, they slowed down. They stopped before the gate of the city and didn’t enter it.
Even though the army was just calmly waiting there, they were still releasing extremely strong Qi. It enveloped the gate of Yangzhou City as well as the crowd on and around it. Everyone within the city felt like they were being suffocated by the intense Qi.
How monstrous. The red armor, red horses, the image was shocking almost like a psychological attack. It was too much for the crowd.
They had never thought that someday, such an army would appear in Yangzhou City.
At that moment, amongst the army, a silhouette emerged and raised their head, looked at the people on top of the gate and said: “Listen, from now on, Yangzhou City is the fief of the Chi Xie Marquis. Everything in Yangzhou City now belongs to the officer of the Chi Xie army. Now, bring the head of the city to come and greet him.”
The Chi Xie Marquis, the Chi Xie Officer, how powerful and majestic. Besides, he was making the head of the city come to greet them. They definitely had an extremely high social status.
So that’s how it was, the Chi Xie Marquis was the owner of Yangzhou City, but nobody knew who this person was.
The crowd felt a bit relieved, since the fief of Yangzhou City belonged to the Chi Xie Marquis, the army wasn’t going to attack the city. That huge army hadn’t come with malicious intent.
“Go. Quickly bring the head of the city here!” shouted the leader of the guards, on the top of the gate, to one guard who wasn’t moving. That person nodded and abruptly left in the direction of the government. He hadn’t clearly heard the words of the Chi Xie soldiers though, he had only heard when he was told to bring the head of the city to greet them.
The government was a huge and vast place. There were tables everywhere. The head of the city, Na Lan Xiong had organized an annual banquet to which many wealthy and noble cultivators were participating. He hadn’t invited the Lin Clan but the atmosphere was pleasant and lively
At that moment, many people were proposing toasts. It seemed that Na Lan Xiong was extremely proud because of his new son-in-law and he was so excited that he was unceasingly drinking.
“Master, master!”
At that moment, a worried voice spread in the air interrupting the crowd. Na Lan Xiong frowned and looked at the distance seeing a guard worriedly and hastily rushing over to him.
