As Shen Luo and the black-clothed cultivator exchanged questions and answers, more and more people gathered around to watch the show.
The black-clothed cultivator was ashamed and angry, but he did not dare to act rashly. At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of hooves and saw a group of black-armored cavalry rushing over from the separated crowd.
As if he had seen a life-saving straw, he hurriedly shouted, "Thieves, there are thieves here …"
Hearing the shout, the black-armored cavalry immediately drew their swords and rushed over.
Shen Luo looked in the direction of the voice and saw that this group of seven people was wearing bright black armor with runes carved into it. The long swords in their hands glowed faintly. Clearly, they were not ordinary soldiers.
"What's going on?" The leader of the group swept his gaze over the crowd and asked.
"We are from the Imperial Uncle's residence. This is the Imperial Uncle's youngest son. Just now, this person sneakily attacked and damaged the Yan Beast. Quickly capture him …" The black-clothed cultivator hurriedly stood up and shouted.
These black-armored cavalry directly belonged to the Great Tang government. Most of them were cultivators around the third or fourth level of the Qi Refining realm. They were usually in charge of the security of the Imperial City. Although their cultivation was not high, they had the backing of the Great Tang government. Generally, no one dared to offend them.
Shen Luo listened to him distort the truth and stood with his hands behind his back. His expression was normal and he did not defend himself.
The leader of the black-armored cavalry was a burly man with a curly beard. He glanced at the remains of the green ox in the distance and then sized up Shen Luo and the two people kneeling on the ground. He immediately guessed what had happened.
"Since you damaged the Yan Beast, pay up and leave quickly. Don't cause any more trouble." The burly man looked at Shen Luo and said.
Although his words were not polite, it was clear that he wanted to minimize the problem.
"What? He also injured my young master. We can't let him go like this. "The black-clothed cultivator heard this and immediately shouted.
Hearing this, the fat youth was stunned for a moment. Then, his body leaned back and he lay on the ground, wailing.
Seeing this, the surrounding crowd booed.
"According to the laws of the Great Tang, if the City Lord allows a beast to injure someone, he will be imprisoned. Think carefully before you speak," the bearded man said bluntly.
When the black clothed cultivator heard this, he hesitated. The youth on the ground suddenly sat up and said, "Prison food? My uncle is from the Ministry of Justice. "
Hearing this, the curly-bearded man was in a bit of a dilemma.
They had to deal with the Ministry of Justice on a daily basis to maintain the order of the Imperial City, so they had to give them face.
When the black-clothed cultivator saw this, he shouted again, "This guy is a cultivator and his actions are suspicious. He might be a wanted criminal by the government. It's best if you take him back and interrogate him properly."
The bearded man hesitated for a moment before saying, "Immortal Master, I'll have to trouble you to come with us."
"Without any evidence, why should I go with you?" Shen Luo's expression didn't change as he replied.
When the black-clothed cultivator saw this, he was even more overjoyed.
Once Shen Luo resisted, the black-clothed cavalry might not be able to do anything to him, but it would definitely attract the attention of the Great Tang government cultivators. At that time, no matter how strong he was, how could he fight against the government?
When the bearded man saw that Shen Luo refused to listen, he was a little annoyed.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Recently, Chang 'an City is preparing for the Martial Meet of the Three Realms. Immortal Masters and cultivators who enter Chang' an City need to file a record with the government. If you have already filed a record, you can let us check your document."
"Martial Meet of the Three Realms?"
"Document?" "No." Shen Luo was confused in his heart, but he answered casually.
"Then we'll have to ask you to come with us, Immortal Master." Hearing this, the bearded man said with a serious face.
"If you don't report when entering the city, you must be a thief," the black-clothed cultivator said.
Shen Luo didn't look at him, but took out a golden token and handed it to the bearded man. He asked, "If you don't have a document, can this be used as proof of identity?"
The bearded man took it and looked at it. His face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly saluted. "Oh, it's really a flood against the Dragon King Temple. It turns out that you are a government cultivator. Senior, please forgive my rudeness."
"It doesn't matter. As long as you act according to the law, you can't be blamed," Shen Luo took back the token and said slowly.
Hearing this, the bearded man's face stiffened slightly, and then he shouted, "Why aren't you arresting this guy who is maliciously slandering us?"
The armored soldiers immediately took action and tied up the already dumbfounded black-robed cultivator.
Just as he was about to beg for mercy, a black scabbard had hit his mouth hard, and all his words were forced back. The corner of his mouth was also broken, and blood oozed out.
The fat young man sat on the ground, dumbfounded. He didn't dare to move and just watched the black-clothed cultivator being dragged away like a little chick.
Shen Luo didn't want to argue with them anymore. After saying goodbye, he continued to go to the Tang government according to his memory.
Not long after, he appeared outside the gate of the government and was stopped by the guards on duty.
When he was checking the token, a gust of wind suddenly blew behind him.
Shen Luo frowned slightly. He suddenly turned around, raised his hand, and grabbed a fist that was handed to him.
"Hey, good boy. You have been away for so many years, as if you had disappeared from the world. Finally, you are willing to come back?" The owner of the fist laughed heartily, and his words were full of joy.
"Brother Lu." Shen Luo put down his hand and smiled.
It was precisely Lu Huaming, and there was a beautiful woman by his side. She wasn't a stranger, and she was Gu Hualing.
"Shen Daoyou." Gu Hualing took the initiative to salute.
Shen Luo was a little surprised, and then he saluted with his hands folded.
"Where have you been all these years? Why haven't I heard from you? "Lu Huaming asked.
"It's a long story." Shen Luo opened his mouth, but he still didn't know how to explain.
"Then we will talk about it later. Let's go back first. After I finish my task, I will prepare a banquet for you." Lu Huaming said with a smile.
Shen Luo nodded, and the three of them walked in together.
Shen Luo remembered the Martial Competition of the Three Realms mentioned by the black-clothed cavalrymen and couldn't help but ask, "Recently, Chang 'an City is very lively. Is there a grand event?"
"Oh, the first Martial Competition of the Three Realms will be held in Chang 'an City. Don't you know?" Lu Huaming was a little surprised.
Shen Luo was at a loss, and he shook his head.
"This is the biggest event in the Three Realms in the past 100 years. You really don't know?" Lu Huaming confirmed again.
Shen Luo thought for a while, and then he had to say,
"To tell you the truth, these years, I accidentally went into an Immortal's relic. Not only did I not get any benefits, but I also fell into the trap of the array and was frozen in it. It was not until half a year ago that I managed to get out, and I just returned to Chang 'an a few days ago."
"I see. I didn't expect that you would encounter such an accident …" Lu Huaming trusted Shen Luo, and he didn't doubt him.
On the other hand, Gu Hualing raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.
