Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

On the surface, Jiang Xin was just curious and paid special attention to Zuo Feng and the others. It seemed normal for him to care about the direct descendants of the Kang family. Others did not take it too seriously.

But Zuo Feng was the only one present. His mind was completely tense. He was even ready for a life-and-death battle. Although if he tried to break out here, the chances of him and his people escaping would be very slim.

And Zuo Feng could see that the former "Tenth Elder" Jiang Xin in front of him was just familiar, but he was not sure. At the same time, this person seemed to have some other concerns, so even if he was suspicious of him and his people, he did not want to confirm it, or try to expose it on the spot.

Zuo Feng was confused and sighed about all these situations, but he was more vigilant against Jiang Xin. He was most worried about meeting Lin Hu when he entered the city this time, but now it seems that Jiang Xin should be more vigilant.

After his eyes paused on Ni Feng for a moment, Jiang Xin turned his attention to the two people at the gate of the city. It was obvious that although he had doubts in his heart, he was not in a hurry to solve them immediately. Especially once his doubts were wrong, his troubles might be even bigger.

There was something more important at the moment, and this was the main reason why Jiang Xin came here this time. He looked at the two Ben Xiao Pavilion warriors and said slowly, "What are you doing here, you two?"

The two Ben Xiao Pavilion warriors had become ugly since Jiang Xin appeared. When they heard Jiang Xin asking, their faces became more gloomy.

One of them said softly after a pause, "The defense of this inner city has been taken over by us, and naturally it is also under our jurisdiction. No matter who enters or leaves, they must be inspected, and they are no exception."

After a brief hesitation, the Ben Xiao Pavilion warrior finally chose to be tough. He had to remain tough, otherwise he would not only lose his own face, but also the face of Ben Xiao Pavilion, which would inevitably be broken here.

After hearing this, Jiang Xin's mouth curled up slowly and revealed a smile, which continued to expand and eventually turned into a wanton laugh. Mo Shangyou was stunned at first, but then he also laughed, but his smile was more calm, and he looked at the two Benxiao Pavilion warriors with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"I don't know if you really don't understand, or if you are really that stupid. Who is responsible for the affairs of this Acropolis is not something you can decide, unless you are the high priest, or you are the king?"

Although Jiang Xin said it in a half-joking tone, after hearing this, the faces of the two Benxiao Pavilion warriors changed immediately.

Although the two were not afraid of Jiang Xin, they also understood one thing. According to the management system of the empire, the power of the city lord is directly managed by the highest level of the empire. Even if they are people from Benxiao Pavilion, they cannot directly order or command the city lord.

The Pavilion Master of Benxiao Pavilion may be able to command the city lords of other cities, but it is another situation in Xinxu County. The environment here is very special. Even the Pavilion Master of Benxiao Pavilion cannot directly command or order. All they can do is negotiate with each other.

Although this is the truth, Benxiao Pavilion has a special status after all. The two people think that Jiang Xin should give them Benxiao Pavilion a face no matter what.

What the two people never expected was that Jiang Xin suddenly said such a thing. The words that seemed to be a joke on the surface, but behind them were huge murderous intentions. This was actually a hint that Benxiao Pavilion had plans to go against the decision of the top leaders and set their own rules.

This accusation almost meant that they, Benxiao Pavilion, had the idea of ​​betraying the empire. The two of them were already sweating coldly behind their backs, so how could they really take up the other party’s words.

Another warrior from Benxiao Pavilion gritted his teeth and said, "After we arrived, Pavilion Master Wu Tian has told you that the situation is serious now. If the two priests were here, they would definitely agree with our current approach and agree that we would take over the defense of the inner city."

"Oh, so you are not following the orders of the high priest, that is to say, you are doing it according to the instructions of the priest. This matter is simple. Hand over the priest's hand order for me to see."

Jiang Xin still had a smile on his face, stretched out his hand in front of the other party and waved it, indicating that the other party should take out the priest's "handwritten" to see.

The warrior from Benxiao Pavilion didn't have any "handwritten" and was ready to speak with anger. The companion on the side was relatively calm. He knew that if his companion spoke, he would definitely say something like "Why do you want a 'handwritten'" or "I won't show you a 'handwritten' even if I have one."

But there was a trap in the other party's words. As long as he followed the other party's words, not only would he and the other party have big troubles in the future, but it would even directly affect Yu Pavilion and cause misfortune.

After stopping his companion from speaking, the warrior of Benxiao Pavilion softened his attitude a little and said, "We are all from the Yelin Empire. We must work together to deal with the enemy. We also hope that Lord Jiangxin can consider the overall situation. After all, this matter is of great importance. I hope you can be more understanding."

These words lowered their posture, which was very difficult for the warriors of Benxiao Pavilion. After all, they had never shown such an attitude when facing the governor of Donglin County, Borka.

But after listening to this, Jiang Xin laughed awkwardly, shook his head and said, "Since you don't have a warrant, then you should leave the city gate immediately, otherwise I can report to the king that Benxiao Pavilion has already..."

At this point, Jiang Xin's eyes turned cold, and then he said word by word, "Taking over Weicheng, the city lord is useless!"

"You!"

When the warrior of Benxiao Pavilion heard this, his face turned pale instantly. This time, even the somewhat reckless companion beside him saw that the situation was not good.

The two did not expect that at the end of the negotiation, they would get such a reply from Jiang Xin, and they had never encountered a time when Benxiao Pavilion was embarrassed.

The expressions on their faces kept changing. After thinking for a while, the two Benxiao Pavilion warriors exchanged glances with each other, and then one of them said, "Lord Jiang, you should know that our Benxiao Pavilion suffered heavy losses this time. And we must give an explanation to the empire next, and we are preparing to give an explanation now.

But your behavior is completely obstructing the work of Benxiao Pavilion. If there is any accident, I hope you will not regret what happened today when you face the questioning of the empire."

"Regret, you said I regret, hahaha..."

Jiang Xin laughed up to the sky, and the laughter seemed to be deliberately heard from afar, attracting everyone around. At this time, whether it was the outer city or the inner city, the area within a few miles around the inner city gate suddenly became quiet.

"Your Benxiao Pavilion lost almost a complete team in Donglin County this time, nearly 200 people. Even the young pavilion master was almost killed. You just left Donglin County alone and came to my Weicheng to make comments. Do you mean to let me be responsible?"

Hearing this, the two Benxiao Pavilion warriors' eyes widened, and their eyes were bloodshot, as if they were about to spit fire. Jiang Xin exposed the matter of Donglin County in this way, which was equivalent to tearing off the last fig leaf of Benxiao Pavilion.

There are many merchants coming and going here. I believe that it will not take long, not only the Ye Lin Empire, but also other empires will know about the disastrous defeat of Benxiao Pavilion in Donglin County a few days ago.

In addition, Wu Tian has been trying to cover up the matter of Donglin County, and at the same time, he has used his various relationships in the imperial capital to minimize the impact of this matter. This is not only for the consideration of Yu Pavilion, but also for the consideration of the entire Benxiao Pavilion.

But Jiang Xin was completely merciless. If the news spread throughout the empire, they would not be able to cover it up or eliminate the impact. How could they not hate him?

"Jiang Xin, you are so cruel. I... We in Benxiao Pavilion will remember this!"

The warrior of Benxiao Pavilion was furious, and his spiritual energy surged violently in his body. He had the urge to take action immediately, but reason told him that it would only make things worse.

Another warrior of Benxiao Pavilion seemed even more excited. He stood there and stared at Jiang Xin, but his companions dragged him away.

After the two warriors of Benxiao Pavilion left, although there were still a lot of people blocking the gate of the inner city, it suddenly became much quieter. Jiang Xin turned to look at his team and said softly, "As usual, four people will be left here to guard the city gate. The rules are still the same as before. Don't pay attention to those people from Benxiao Pavilion."

Hearing such a "bold" order from their own city lord, the warriors guarding the city immediately responded with a roar of "yes", and then four warriors stood up and stood at the gate of the inner city.

After dealing with the warriors of Benxiao Pavilion, Jiang Xin turned to look at Mo Shangyou and said, "Brother Mo, I wonder if you are satisfied with my handling of the matter."

Mo Shangyou hurriedly bowed and said with a smile on his face, "You can't say that, Lord Jiang is so embarrassed. I am a small civilian, and I am really grateful to Lord Jiang for taking care of me!"

After the two of them finished speaking, they looked at each other and laughed at the same time. It seems that they were both very happy about driving away Benxiao Pavilion.

Slightly sideways, Jiang Xin extended his hand and made a "please" gesture, and said, "Manager Mo, please enter the city."

Mo Shangyou also hurriedly bowed and said, "Lord City Lord, please go first!"

This time Jiang Xin was not polite and walked to the inner city first. Mo Shangyou only lagged behind a little and walked into the city at the side of Jiang Xin.

Zuo Feng and the other four followed behind quietly. If Jiang Xin's appearance at first made Zuo Feng feel a little dangerous, through what just happened, Zuo Feng saw a glimmer of hope from Jiang Xin.
