"… Brothers, take him down! I suspect that he is a demon spy who is trying to sneak into the city with something that is a threat to Canglan City! "
With a loud roar, the thirty or so soldiers guarding the city gate immediately surrounded them with weapons in their hands, harboring malicious intentions.
Hmm, they have some brains. They are not idiots who only know how to fight. They even know how to frame others!
Chu Rui smiled coldly. Facing this group of idiots, he did not even bat an eyelid!
"Big brother!"
Goudan 'er, who had been searching Rui's body, suddenly ran over and stood beside him. Since his weapon had already been taken away, he could only clench his fists tightly, his face full of anger as he looked at the thirty or so fellows with ill intentions.
"Goudan 'er, it's fine!"
Chu Rui patted Goudan 'er's shoulder and asked him to step back. He was a little touched that this kid had stood up and stood with him without any hesitation. At least this proved that he did not misjudge him.
"Goudan 'er? What a good name! A bunch of country bumpkins, no wonder you don't know any manners! This is Canglan City. Today, I will teach you what manners are! "
A fair-skinned soldier squinted his eyes. When he heard how Chu Rui addressed Goudan 'er, he immediately laughed. His expression was full of ridicule. Many of these soldiers in the imperial capital were hereditary. After all, the imperial capital was not an iron bucket, but it was not as chaotic as the borders. This was the political and cultural center of the country, and even the economic center. It was extremely prosperous. Those who had ulterior motives would naturally not dare to set their sights on this place. Therefore, not every one of the soldiers guarding this place was a seasoned veteran.
Being a small soldier in the imperial capital was a lucrative job. Many of them had specially donated money to buy such a position. There were also many who relied on their connections to inherit the position. Perhaps many soldiers had never seen blood in their entire lives. Just like the one in front of Chu Rui. With such a fair-skinned face, he did not look like a soldier at all. If he did not have such a strong ruffian aura, he would look more like a scholar!
"Pa!"
However, the lesson Chu Rui did not come to fruition. Instead, a crisp sound rang out. Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.
"Heaven will punish those who are despicable! But I reckon that God is very busy right now, so I don't mind doing it for him. Helping others is the foundation of happiness! "
Chu Rui retracted his hand and looked at the man who was suddenly sent flying by his merciless slap. He spat out a large mouthful of blood in the air and his neck seemed to be crooked. He smashed heavily onto the confiscated weapons of the soldiers who had come all the way from Luo City to rescue them. Even though he had a scabbard, his flesh smashing onto solid metal was enough to make him suffer.
"Bastard!"
The thirty plus soldiers in charge of collecting the weapons were immediately stunned. However, they were quickly pulled back to reality by the painful moans of their brothers. Immediately, they flew into a rage.
"Big brother!"
Goudan 'er immediately became anxious. He wanted to step forward again, but he was stopped by the deputy general. The deputy general gave him a meaningful look, and then shook his head slightly.
Who doesn't have a temper? This was especially true for the soldiers, who were all hot-tempered! They had come all the way here to help, but they were treated like this. It made sense for him to confiscate the weapons like this. After all, it was an emergency period, and there was nothing wrong with being a little more careful. However, these bastards had gone too far by mocking and ridiculing such sincere reinforcements. If he had the strength, the deputy general would have wanted to teach these bastards a lesson. Now that someone had stepped forward, he naturally felt carefree in his heart.
He wasn't afraid of being held accountable. Now that they were in dire need of manpower, who would be willing to let go of a super expert like Chu Rui? On the contrary, they had to be careful and apologize. Otherwise, if the other party was unhappy and left, what could they do? After all, the other party wasn't their soldier. He didn't take the salary they gave him, and he didn't eat the food they gave him. What could they do to threaten him?
"Scum, trash!"
Facing the thirty plus soldiers, Chu Rui's expression became even colder. He could tolerate everything else from these fellows. If they didn't search his body, Chu Rui wasn't the kind of person who liked to be serious with these fellows. However, if they insisted on searching his body, that wouldn't do. However, he wouldn't be so ruthless. Although the fellow who was sent flying by his slap didn't die immediately, his neck bone was broken. In other words, other than his head, he couldn't move anything below his neck and was paralyzed.
The reason why Chu Rui was so angry was because these fellows were the most despicable. He was an extremely protective person. In this Cloud Mist Continent, he only recognized one person, Goudan 'er. This fellow was his savior, and now he was his younger brother. These fellows insulted his family, and he was already restraining his temper by not killing them on the spot.
"Boss, Little Six is crippled!"
A sobbing voice sounded. It was the soldier who went to help the fellow who was sent flying by Chu Rui. As a soldier, he was naturally not a parasite who only knew how to eat. With a light check, he knew the condition of his brother.
"Good method, good heart!"
With one sentence, the atmosphere at the scene immediately froze. Everyone was stunned. Other than Chu Rui, even the soldiers who followed him from Luo City to Canglan City widened their eyes. They originally thought that Chu Rui had only slapped the fellow who had a despicable mouth. Who knew that the slap would be so brutal that it would cripple that fellow. Just a moment ago, they felt refreshed and satisfied, but now, many of them were sweating cold sweat.
As the saying goes, pull one hair and the whole body will be affected. In a place like Canglan City, the network of people's relationships was definitely extremely complicated. To be entrusted with the heavy responsibility of guarding the city gate, one must have a powerful background. As outsiders, they offended someone with power the moment they arrived. Their ending wouldn't be good. Being killed directly might be too much, but it wouldn't be good for them. The best ending would probably be to be sent out as cannon fodder, and they wouldn't even know how they died.
"Why? Do you want to try? "
Chu Rui smiled coldly. He didn't have the slightest bit of regret or fear. Instead, he became even more ruthless. Sweeping a glance at these restless fellows who were filled with killing intent, he courteously continued to provoke them. He really hoped that these fellows would make a move. Then, he would have a legitimate reason to kill them. The King of Hell was easy to avoid, but the little demons were hard to deal with. He wasn't afraid of these trash, but if these local tyrants were to secretly plot against him, it would be disgusting. He didn't care about himself, but if Goudan 'er and the soldiers who came with him from Luo City were to be tricked, then it would be his fault. Therefore, in order to prevent future troubles, it was better to kill them first. As for their background, he would think about it later.
"Stop!"
Then, just as they were about to draw their swords, a crisp sound rang out. A clear and melodious voice rang out, instantly stopping the war.
"Greetings to Princess Cang Die!"
At the city gate, a black mass of people knelt down and bowed to the graceful figure who had suddenly appeared. — — Except for Chu Rui!
