"Okay, don't let him spread rumors to confuse the public anymore. It's tiring." Xia Younan sneered with his arms folded.

Zhu Li and Xiong Fei immediately understood what she meant. They tiptoed and simultaneously used their lightness skills to soar into the air, heading straight for the man in the crowd who was beating the gong.

The man was beating the gong with all his might when he saw two strong men running towards him aggressively. He felt something was wrong and ran in the opposite direction.

How could Zhu Li and Xiong Fei let him escape so easily? They pinned him down effortlessly, then each grabbed one of his arms and returned to Xia Younan's side in the middle of the square.

"What do you want to do? Why did you arrest me?" the man questioned them angrily, but his legs were shaking with fear.

Xia Younan ignored him, snatched the gong and gong hammer from his hands, then struck it hard, paused for two seconds, and struck it hard again.

A magical thing happened. After she struck the gong twice, the running animals slowly stopped. They no longer rushed around, but stayed where they were and paced slowly.

"Okay, the beasts have stopped causing trouble, everyone be quiet!!"

Xia Younan shouted to the people who were still fleeing around.

After a while, the panicked people calmed down, looked at the beasts that were no longer running wild, and breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear.

"What's going on?!" Someone couldn't help but ask Xia Younan.

Xia Younan did not answer but asked, "Have you heard of a profession called 'circus' outside Tang City?"

The people shook their heads upon hearing this, "What is that? We don't have anything like this in Tang City."

Xia Younan patiently explained to them: "It is a kind of acrobatic art among the people outside. The owner of the circus will get some animal cubs through some channels, and then feed them and train them in some way.

"Over time, these animals will become very obedient and will follow their owners' orders."

The people seemed to understand, "You mean... these beasts didn't come down from the mountains, but were raised and trained by humans?"

Xia Younan didn't comment, but pointed at the animals and said, "Look, these animals are covered with large and small wounds, both old and new. It's obvious that they were not obedient during training and were beaten by their masters. How could wild animals have so many wounds?"

When the people looked around, they saw that it was true. These animals had many scars on their bodies, including old whip wounds, stick wounds, and some that looked like burns left by branding irons.

Some animals were missing patches of fur, and some had bruises on their legs, looking really pitiful.

"But how are they given orders? We didn't see any suspicious people controlling them." Someone asked again.

Xia Younan smiled lightly, kicked the man in front of him to the ground, and said, "Isn't that it? You thought he was beating the gong to inform you, but in fact he is the trainer of these animals.

"The sound of the gong he struck was the signal, and when the animals heard it they ran after him, creating the illusion that the animals had entered the town to cause trouble."

"What? It's like this?!"

The people looked at the man at Xia Younan's feet in astonishment. They never expected that the man who rang the gong to notify them to run was actually the murderer.

"What, you don't believe it?" Xia Younan didn't waste any words. He picked up the gong and started hitting it "pa pa pa pa" like raindrops. The sound was crisp, fine and deafening.

The animal, which had been quiet, became violent again upon hearing the sound. It let out a low, dull growl and started to run away.

"Pah! Pah!" Xia Younan knocked twice slowly and forcefully, and soon the animals became quiet again.

Then, Xia Younan smiled and said, "Do you believe it? This is how he controls the animals. A quick tap makes the animals run, and two slow taps makes them stop."

The people were amazed and exclaimed: "I believe it, I believe it. It turns out that ferocious wild animals can be controlled by humans. It's amazing!"

"I remember now. The last time a wild beast entered the city, it was this man who beat the gong and shouted. He was also running in front, and the wild beast was chasing him from behind!"

Suddenly someone thought of the last scene and reminded everyone loudly.

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on and angrily pointed at the man who was beating the gong, cursing him.

The man's face turned red after being scolded, and he asked Xia Younan unconvincedly: "How do you know this?"

Xia Younan raised his eyebrows and looked at the embarrassed group of black-clothed men. "How hard does Ye Beimo think his men are talking? We just used a little trick and they confessed everything."

According to these people, Ye Beimo encountered a circus on his way here and discovered that they had a lot of tamed ferocious beasts.

He didn't take it seriously at the time, until he entered Tang City and came up with the bad idea of ​​disguising himself as a mountain god. He then realized that he could use the circus, so he sent people out of the city to chase him.

Money makes the world go round. Ye Beimo just made a little move and the circus owner readily agreed to help him.

"Who ordered you to do that?" City Lord Jun Zhonglin walked up to the man who was beating the gong and questioned him condescendingly.

I have to say, the city lord is the city lord. Just now, the animals entered the city and the people were in chaos, but he was the only one who was unaware and remained calm and composed.

“This…” The man who was beating the gong rolled his eyes, thinking about the moral principles of the martial arts world, and was unwilling to reveal Ye Beimo.

"Tell me quickly! Who ordered you to do this?" The onlookers asked angrily in unison. The thunder-like momentum frightened the man so much that his legs went weak.

Xia Younan looked at him coldly and reminded him, "Think it through carefully. Driving wild beasts to wreak havoc in the city is a capital crime punishable by beheading.

"If you don't tell us the real culprit behind this, you will become the scapegoat and you will never see the sun tomorrow!"

The man was shocked. Hearing that he would die, he no longer cared about the moral principles of the martial arts world. He nodded quickly, "Talk about it. I say, don't kill me!

"The man who paid me to do this is called Ye Beimo, and everyone around him calls him His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Sure enough, it was him!" Jun Zhonglin had been mentally prepared, but he was still furious after hearing it with his own ears. He gritted his teeth and said, "Ye Beimo! He did everything. In order to borrow troops, he treated us like monkeys!"

"We almost fell for his trick. What kind of chosen one is this? He is clearly a shameless villain!" Jun Ziyao also echoed, and at the same time was glad that he helped Xia Younan and the others in the beginning.

The people also clearly heard the words of the man who was beating the gong. The rage of being made fun of was overwhelming them, and like an erupting volcano, they angrily cursed Ye Beimo.

While they were angry, they also felt a sense of fear.

They felt filled with remorse when they thought of their ignorance and how they had surrounded the city lord's mansion and forced the city lord to borrow troops, which almost led to a big mistake.

"Kill him, kill Ye Beimo!" Someone couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and roared with his arms raised.

"Kill Ye Beimo!" Others followed suit, and shouts of killing resounded through the world.

Jun Zhonglin was not vague either, and immediately shouted orders, "Gather the troops quickly and capture and kill Ye Beimo!"
