The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

"It turns out to be Lord Su. What a pleasure to meet you!" Duan Tianyang cupped his hands and smiled faintly, "I was just about to go find you to report, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

Hearing Duan Tianyang's words, Su Wen was slightly stunned, and looked at Duan Tianyang again.

He asked doubtfully, "May I ask who you are...?"

Duan Tianyang took out a token from his arms and said lightly: "I am Duan Tianyang, and I have come to Xiguan City to serve as the captain of the guard on the orders of the princess." As he spoke, he waved the token lightly and threw it to Su Wen.

Su Wen took the badge steadily, looked down, and found that it was indeed the official badge of the chief of the Xiguan City Battalion.

He recalled that it seemed that the city lord had mentioned this matter half a month ago.

After confirming Duan Tianyang's identity, Su Wen felt much more relaxed.

He rode his horse to Duan Tianyang, handed the token back to him, and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Brother Duan. If we had known this, we wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble. Welcome to Xiguan City. I hope we can work together in the future to protect this land together."

The garrison in Xiguan City is divided into five battalions, and Su Wen, as the chief of the city guards, is undoubtedly the supreme commander of these battalions. He also has direct jurisdiction over the battalion guards.

He continued with a cheerful face, "Since we are all family, it will be much easier to handle things. Just hand the prisoner over to me. I will hold a banquet at the City Guard House to welcome you."

After saying this, he waved his hand gently, and several soldiers immediately rode up on horseback, intending to take Yan Bin away from the carriage.

However, Xiao Fang, Guan Hu and others stood around the carriage. Not only did they not move, but they seemed to form a human wall, protecting the carriage in the center.

Seeing this, the soldiers were unable to move forward and could only turn their attention to Su Wen.

Su Wen raised his eyebrows slightly and said to Duan Tianyang with a smile: "Brother Duan, your men don't seem to obey your orders very much!"

Duan Tianyang smiled and shook his head, saying leisurely: "Master Su, I think it is necessary to clarify two points about this matter. First, they are not my men, but my brothers. Second, you said Yan Bin is a traitor, do you have solid evidence?"

Su Wen was slightly surprised when he heard this. He raised his head and laughed, and said confidently: "As the chief of the city guards, how could I wrongly accuse an innocent person? My judgment is naturally justified."

Duan Tianyang responded without comment: "I respect your position, but I value the truth more. Only evidence can convince people."

Without evidence, no matter how powerful you are, will the judge believe you in court?

Seeing Duan Tianyang's insistence, Su Wen's expression changed slightly. He whispered, "Brother Duan, you have just stepped into Xiguan and you don't understand many things yet. It would be more appropriate to let me handle this matter."

Duan Tianyang smiled nonchalantly and said, "Since I bumped into Yan Bin, I will naturally take responsibility to the end. Without solid evidence, how can you call him a traitor?"

Su Wen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Duan Tianyang with a sidelong glance. There was a hint of sarcasm in his smile: "So, Brother Duan is planning to go against me?"

Duan Tianyang, however, looked nonchalant and shrugged his shoulders: "Sir Su, if you still need to personally handle such a trivial matter as interrogating a traitor, wouldn't it make us subordinates appear too incompetent? Please rest assured, if he is indeed a traitor, I will bring him to justice in public; if he is not, I will naturally clear his name."

Duan Tianyang paused for a moment, then continued, "Sir Su, I have made it very clear, and I don't want to repeat it again."

At this moment, Su Wen suddenly roared, turned around and was about to draw his sword.

However, Duan Tianyang quickly stretched out his arm and firmly held down Su Wen's wrist as he was about to draw his sword.

There was a sharp light flashing in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Sir Su, although I am lower in rank than you and am your subordinate, don't forget whose orders I am following. You have to think carefully!"

Xiguan City is quite far away from Xuanhuang City, and Yi Tian seems indifferent to the affairs of Xiguan. The communication between the two places mainly relies on carrier pigeons.

The news that Duan Tianyang was sent to Xiguan City by Ling Ziyan was also conveyed via carrier pigeon.

The content of the letter was not detailed. It simply mentioned that he was originally the princess's personal bodyguard. Due to the shortage of troops in Xiguan City, he was transferred to serve as the battalion guard chief.

Although it was considered a demotion, he was sent by the princess herself, so she had to give him some consideration!

Su Wen's hand that was tightly gripping the knife handle gradually loosened, and then he laughed and said, "Brother Duan, I was just joking with you, don't mind it. Come, let's go into the city and have a good chat!"

After saying this, he turned his horse around and waved to the soldiers below.

He walked ahead, his face as dark as clouds, an almost black haze covering his face.

I'm afraid that what Xuanhuang City sent this time is not helpers, but a huge trouble.

This person's existence is definitely a threat, and cannot be tolerated even if he is appointed by the princess herself.

In this remote borderland, the emperor is far away and the people in Xuanhuang City may not care about the life or death of a guard.

The group entered the city and saw shops and small vendors lining the streets, although they looked a little old.

But this is a transportation hub, with frequent caravans coming and going, and inns, taverns, and brothels everywhere.

People walking on the street are dressed differently, some in their own style, some in exotic styles, all kinds of colors, it is dazzling.

Su Wen pulled the reins, called a soldier over, and instructed: "Take Lord Duan to the barracks in the west of the city to rest!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to Duan Tianyang and smiled, saying, "Brother Duan, I still have some important things to deal with. You go and rest first. I will host a banquet to welcome you in the evening!"

Duan Tianyang bowed his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Lord Su!"

Su Wen waved his hand and laughed, "Brother Duan, you don't have to be polite, hahaha!" After that, he drove his horse towards the direction of the City Guard Mansion.

Halfway through the journey, several soldiers caught up with Su Wen. One of them said worriedly, "Sir, if Yan Bin falls into Duan Tianyang's hands, it may be bad for us. What if he leaks our affairs and Duan Tianyang tells Xuanhuang City, we will..."

Su Wen turned around suddenly, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and the man immediately fell silent upon seeing this.

He said in a cold voice: "Yan Bin must die! Do it tonight!"

"Sir, don't you think Duan Tianyang is an extraordinary person? After all, he used to be the princess's personal bodyguard, so he must have some extraordinary qualities."

Su Wen heard this and snorted coldly, saying sarcastically, "Even if he has some skills, he is just a guard. What can a person sent by the princess do? In this remote Xiguan City, even if the princess comes in person, I may not take it seriously."
