Leading the warhorses, they slowly traversed through Tongtian Street.
The passersby on the road all cast respectful gazes. In the eyes of the commoners, this group of people dressed in white was a symbol of power, so many people gave way.
Lin Muyu frowned, and said in a low voice, "The commoners are afraid of us?"
Wei Chou smiled awkwardly, "Yes, but also not …"
"How so?"
Wei Chou said, "The Imperial Army is the largest part of the Imperial Capital's defense force. It is said that 7000 people can ensure the Imperial Capital is impregnable, but … on normal days, the Imperial Army is actually in a state of inaction, and there are even frequent incidents of invading and harassing the commoners. Commander Qin Lei is busy with official duties, and does not have the time to care about these things."
Lin Muyu frowned, and continued to lead the horse forward.
Shop after shop flashed past in front of them, and very soon, they arrived in front of a house with white walls. The faint sound of a woman crying could be heard from inside. With a "creak", the door opened, and a group of more than 30 women in ragged clothes walked out under the escort of guards. Each of their faces were ashen, and their eyes were lifeless.
"Hurry up and leave, you lowly servant!"
A guard raised his hand and used the hilt of his sword to fiercely smash a woman's shoulder, causing her to stagger and fall to the ground. She raised her head and looked angrily at the guard, but did not say a word.
Lin Muyu was instantly petrified, that woman's eyes were so similar to Xiang Xiang's!
"What's going on?"
Lin Muyu flipped over on the horse and rushed over. She had already raised her hand and pulled out the Burning Prairie Sword. The long sword quickly pierced through, and with a "keng", it broke the body of the sword that the guard raised again.
"How dare you, who is it?!" The guard quickly turned around, and saw Lin Muyu riding over on a horse, and the insignia of a centurion on his collar. He hurriedly and respectfully said, "General … Greetings to the general."
"What's going on with these women?" Lin Muyu asked indifferently.
The guard was startled, and said, "General, this is the Nursery Hall … These women are naturally the camp concubines. I am currently bringing them to the Imperial Army camp to carry out the daily task of washing clothes …"
Behind him, Wei Chou caught up and said, "General, these are indeed camp concubines …"
"What is a camp concubine?" Lin Muyu asked.
"Ying Ji, Ying Ji is …" Wei Chou found it hard to say it out loud. He clenched his teeth and said, "Ying Ji is also known as the laundry girl. She is responsible for washing clothes in the army. In addition … Ying Ji is also responsible for dispelling the soldiers' desires. So, General …"
Lin Muyu looked at the group of girls in front of him. Each and every one of them had lifeless eyes. Some of them were even very young, but their bodies were already riddled with scars. Instantly, an indescribable anger rose in his heart. He raised his hand and grabbed the Burning Prairie Sword that was circling back and said, "Take them back. Guards, follow me into this Nurturing Hall. I want to see what this Nurturing Hall is exactly!"
"General …" Wei Chou hurriedly stopped him. "This rule has been passed down since the era of the God of War, Xiang Wentian. We … we can't break this rule!"
Lin Muyu's heart ached. She gritted her teeth and said, "Wei Chou, are you willing to see them continue to suffer? If you can't bear it, then follow me in. "
"Yes, General!"
…
Ten imperial guards got on their horses and charged through the door of the Nurturing Hall. The dozens of guards inside the door didn't dare to resist when they saw the imperial guards. They all stood there dumbstruck.
This was a large courtyard. Not far away, the miserable cries of young girls could be heard.
Lin Muyu spurred her horse forward and directly knocked open the door of a room in the corner. She saw a fat body wriggling on top of a young girl's body.
"Who is it?!" Fatty turned around with a ruthless expression and shouted, "How dare you spoil my plans. You're courting death!"
He didn't even look at who it was. He grabbed a saber from the side and rushed over. His martial spirit appeared on the saber. This person's martial arts attainment wasn't low. Although he was fat, he was very agile.
Lin Muyu flipped off her horse. She gently extended her sword and sucked the opponent's long saber. She quickly turned and retreated, bringing Fatty out of the room.
The moment he was lured out of the room, Lin Muyu's entire body erupted with a wave of dou qi. The Burning Prairie Sword suddenly pressed down, bringing the fatty's body down. She then turned around and gave a roundhouse kick. The dense dou qi wrapped around her combat boots, and with a "peng", she kicked the back of the fatty's head. How could the fatty withstand such an attack under the influence of anger? His entire body flew up and crashed into the wall. The bluestone tiles scattered all over the floor. The fatty's protective zhen qi had completely shattered, and he had already fainted.
The surrounding people stood there dumbfounded. Only a young guard muttered, "Lord Zhao's cultivation level is at the second Firmament of the Earth realm. He was defeated in one strike. This Lord Imperial Guard is so powerful …"
Lin Muyu raised his head and looked into the room. The girl was sitting naked on the bed, crying in pain.
He slowly walked back into the room. He raised his hand and pulled the white battle robe from behind him. He put it on the girl and said, "Don't cry. It's all over now."
The girl suddenly tore off her battle robe and threw it on the ground. Her eyes were filled with despair. She looked at him with a pair of blood-red eyes and said, "Stop pretending. You soldiers are all beasts, all beasts!"
Lin Muyu stood there in a daze. He didn't explain anything. He turned around and closed the door.
…
There was a commotion outside. Another group of guards rushed in. The leader wore the rank of a chiliarch. He said with a livid face, "What happened? What's going on?"
One of the guards said, "General Man Jin, when Lord Zhao was' opening 'a camp concubine, this Royal Guard suddenly barged in and knocked Lord Zhao out!"
"Hmph!"
Man Jin looked at Lin Muyu with a face full of rage. "Who are you? Do you know the rules? Attacking the nursery is the same as attacking the Empire's army. Do you, the imperial guard, understand? "
"Can this place represent the Empire's army?"
Lin Muyu raised his eyebrows. His body was covered with dense Dou Qi and his Martial Soul was about to be unleashed. He looked at the group of soldiers in front of him and said through gritted teeth, "You guys treat women as tools to satisfy your lust and humiliate them. You guys don't treat humans as humans and trample on them like this. You guys are not fit to call yourselves soldiers of the empire. The territory of the Great Qin Empire would have been destroyed if it was left to useless people like you to protect it!"
"You! You … "
Man Jin's face was full of anger. He could feel Lin Muyu's powerful fighting spirit. He knew that he was no match for this squad leader. He pulled out his sword and said, "Soldiers with spears, surround him. I don't care if he's from the imperial guard or some other army. I, Man Jin, will send him to the military law office for hurting people in the nursery!"
"Come on!"
The corner of Lin Muyu's mouth curled up, revealing a handsome smile. He actually took the initiative to provoke them. Behind him, there was a group of girls in disheveled clothes shivering in the room. These girls were 'collected' from various places. Their only purpose was to use their bodies to please the Empire's army.
"Go!"
Man Jin shouted. Immediately, a large group of soldiers with spears surrounded them.
The men brought by Lin Muyu were not to be trifled with. Wei Chou pulled out his sword with a roar and swung it. He concentrated his true energy into the blade and turned it into a sword aura that swept through the crowd. In an instant, seven or eight spears were chopped off by him. As expected, none of the Imperial Guards were easy to deal with.
The rest of the imperial guards also pulled out their swords. Some of them had already mounted their horses and were ready to charge.
More and more soldiers poured into the room. The insignia on their shoulders indicated that they were from the Imperial Guards. Lin Muyu even recognized that Man Jin was a chiliarch of the Imperial Guards.
"Weng weng …"
Lightly raising her finger, she controlled the Burning Prairie Sword that was enveloped in flames. Ready to attack at any moment, Lin Muyu said indifferently, "General Man Jin, the commander of the Imperial Guards, Feng Jixing, is my big brother. I don't want to hurt the relationship between us. If you know what's good for you, immediately withdraw your men. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
After all, Man Jin was a chiliarch. How could he endure such humiliation? Waving his sword, he shouted, "What's the point of talking so much? Attack!"
A group of soldiers with spears leveled their spears and charged in from all directions.
Lin Muyu had a clear view of the situation. With a light wave of her left hand, the Martial Spirit Gourd immediately condensed into the wall of the gourd. "Dang dang dang", the spears of the Imperial Army were repelled. Her right hand controlled the Prairie Fire Sword to launch an attack. The blade of the sword transformed into a fiery rainbow that swept across. With a low roar, the Fire Dragon Sword Spirit instantly appeared. With a furious roar, it devoured a dozen of the spearmen. In the next moment, these people were already struggling to extinguish the flames while howling in pain.
"Bastard!"
Man Jin roared and slashed down with his sword with three streaks of light. His Martial Soul Roar!
There were no weak soldiers under a strong general. The moment Man Jin attacked, it was obvious that he was extraordinary.
But Lin Muyu was stronger, much stronger!
She swept her left arm across the horse's back and grabbed the shining Pear Blossom Spear in her hand. With a light shake, the tip of the spear shook and collided with Man Jin's blade.
"Ding!"
The sound of the collision was very sharp. Man Jin felt a chill in his arm. Immediately after, he saw a beast soul appear on the Pear Blossom Spear. It was the soul of the 11000 year Ice Qilin!
"Roar!"
The spear soul disappeared in a flash, and the Ice Qilin's sharp claws swept across Man Jin's armor. Snowflakes fell, and in the next moment, Man Jin was forced to take a few steps back. His face was filled with shock, and his entire body was frozen and numb. Frost crawled up his skin, and he instantly lost his ability to fight. After all, the difference between Earth Realm and Heaven Realm was too great, so he could not be blamed.
"Retreat … retreat …"
Man Jin's face was full of shock. The surrounding Imperial Guards also stopped. Everyone knew that with this small number of soldiers, they could not do anything to this young Imperial Guard.
…
The battle ended in less than two minutes. However, the blood on the ground was proof that this battle had happened.
Wei Chou held his blood-stained sword and said with a grave expression, "General, we have offended the Imperial Guard's patrolling troops. We have already made a mistake. What should we do now?"
Lin Muyu's gaze fell on the young girls imprisoned in the nursery. There were about 200 of them. He frowned and asked, "Wei Chou, if we leave now, what will happen to these women?"
Wei Chou was stunned. He said, "They will continue to live the fate that they deserve."
"Then what will happen if I let them go?"
"They will naturally be free, but General … I'm afraid you will be punished by military law."
"Then let them go …"
Lin Muyu sighed softly and said, "If there is any responsibility, I will bear it alone."
"Yes, General …"
