Half River Rustle, half River Red.
Dusk, sunset.
A long shadow was left behind by the setting sun. Following the Coiling Dragon River that surrounded Fallen Dragon City, the Li Clan's caravan finally arrived at Fallen Dragon City before dusk.
The Coiling Dragon River could be said to be a natural moat for this city. The city walls were very tall, at least a dozen meters high. Even at dusk, the streets were still bustling with activity.
Ever since they met the bandits of Coiling Dragon Village, their journey had been very smooth. They did not encounter anything else and smoothly arrived at Fallen Dragon City.
When the caravan arrived outside the city, Li Jiaxing immediately cupped his hands to the crowd and said, "Everyone, you have worked hard along the way. The rewards that I promised everyone will not be less. Those who were injured or died, there will definitely be extra compensation!"
"Brother Li is too polite. This is what we should do!"
The many cultivators expressed their agreement. No matter what, although the escort this time was strange, they had only met a group of bandits. After that, they arrived at Fallen Dragon City smoothly. Furthermore, the rewards were much better than before.
The caravan started to line up to enter Fallen Dragon City.
"Halt, this is a routine inspection!" At the city gate, a fierce general in his thirties blocked the caravan's path.
He looked at Li Jiaxing and immediately said rudely, "What is in here? Open it all!"
"Sir, we are the Li Clan's Escort Agency of Coiling Dragon Town. This is a batch of herbs that we are escorting on behalf of the City Lord's Residence!"
Li Jiaxing mentioned the City Lord's Residence. At the same time, he took the opportunity to bribe the general.
"I don't care who you are. I will check everything to see if there are any prohibited items!"
The general directly overturned the benefits that Li Jiaxing had bribed him with. He directly gave an order, making Li Jiaxing feel very embarrassed.
"Sir, please don't joke around. If this joke gets out of hand, it will not be fun anymore!" Li Jiaxing's tone could not help but change.
"Are you threatening me?!" The general smiled coldly and said without a care, "Brothers, go and search. If you find anything, the general will definitely reward you greatly!"
General's Residence!
Li Jiaxing's face sank as he thought to himself, 'Not good, it's actually someone from the General's Residence.'
The Fallen Dragon City's City Lord's Office and the General's Office were two different systems. Generally speaking, one was for civil affairs, and the other was for the army. There were many cities in the Great Wei State that were like this. Firstly, the distinction between the army and the people was very clear. Secondly, the two of them supervised each other, and restrained each other.
Chu Yang looked at all of this, and his worry deepened. Fallen Dragon City's General's Mansion and City Lord's Mansion actually had a conflict because of this, what exactly was in this batch of medicinal ingredients? Zhang Hao's uncle, Li Jiaxing, was simply courting death this time. How could he get involved in such a matter?
"Swish!" Just as the general gave the order, there was a sharp piercing sound. A sharp arrow pierced through the air and instantly pierced through the general's head.
"Bang!" The officer's head exploded, and red and white brain matter splattered all over the ground.
"How dare you! You're just a little general, yet you don't even put our City Lord's Mansion in your eyes!" A cold voice transmitted over, "Everyone from the Li Family's Escort Agency, I'm sorry, I'm late!"
Everyone looked over and saw a group of people galloping over on horseback. They reined in their horses and stopped when they were near. The person in the lead was a young master who appeared to be around twenty years old. He was wearing a magnificent robe and holding a divine bow. He dismounted from his horse and casually threw the bow and arrow to an attendant behind him. Then he walked over in large strides.
"I don't dare, I don't dare. I didn't expect that the Eldest Young Master would actually come in person this time!" Li Jiaxing bowed with a humble attitude and was extremely respectful.
