Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Chapter 514 Gold Paper Notice

Chu Xiaomu was distracted for a moment, and more than a dozen soldiers slashed down with their swords, and fifteen heads fell on the wooden platform with a thud, and blood spurted from the necks and eyes, like a dozen bright red fountains. Several more skulls rolled down from the high platform, leaving bloody marks on the ground.

Xiaoying screamed and threw herself into Chu Xiaomu's arms, not daring to look anymore. Jinglan also turned her head away, not wanting to look at the bloody scene.

The crowd watching below the stage was like a pot of boiling water, and they immediately became noisy. Many people cheered loudly and shouted that it was so exciting.

Chu Xiaomu thought that more than a dozen lives were lost just like that, and these people were cheering loudly. They were so cold-blooded and ruthless, no different from the people of Chisha. His hatred for the people of Jinyang increased even more.

The four people were in different moods. They returned to the restaurant, had a quiet meal, and then prepared to continue their journey.

While Liu Zang was paying the bill and leading the horse, Jinglan asked in a low voice: "Brother Xiaomu, are you...are you angry with me?" She asked this question because she saw that Chu Xiaomu had an unhappy expression.

Chu Xiaomu said coldly: "Why didn't you let me save them just now? With my ability, even if I saved those dozen slaves, it wouldn't ruin the event in Bicheng."

Jinglan pondered for a while and said, "Brother Xiaomu, Jinyang City is different from Bicheng. Their laws are ten times stricter. It's not difficult for you to save people, but it's not so easy to escape unscathed."

Chu Xiaomu snorted and said, "With only one silver lieutenant and two bronze lieutenants, I don't believe I can't do anything to them."

Jinglan also became a little angry and said, "This is not the right time to show off your abilities. You know how powerful the Golden Sword Sect is. They have spies in every city, not to mention this important market town for buying and selling black iron. I heard that since the last rebellion in Jiaoshan, the Golden Sword Sect has deployed three or four battalions of soldiers in this area. If they come to us, do you plan to kill them all?"

Chu Xiaomu didn't answer.

Jinglan went on to say, "Besides, the world is not peaceful now, and all cities have begun to buy black iron in large quantities to make weapons. This Bailaji is not only for people from Jinyang City, but also for people from Xihai City, Baijun City, Anfeng City and other cities in various countries. They have come from thousands of miles away to buy this expensive black iron, and they will never send only ordinary officials or civilians. Many of them must be very capable. Brother Xiaomu, you must not underestimate the heroes of the world!"

Chu Xiaomu recalled some of the faces he had seen under the wooden stage. Some of them did have divine eyes and restrained spirit. Some of the ones with unique appearances might be spirits. No matter how capable he was, he was afraid that he could not save someone in public without being discovered.

However, the sight of more than a dozen heads falling to the ground in an instant did shock him greatly. They were just like himself before, being captured and taken to Jiaoshan to be slaves without any freedom or dignity. It was really against his will to save such poor people but not to do so.

But if I think about it carefully, Jinglan's words make sense. Can I really save them in front of so many people without anyone noticing? Can I be so cruel as to kill all those ordinary soldiers? Even if I can save them, can I lead them to escape from Bailaji and Jiaoshan?

Thinking of this, he could only sigh. It was a pity that human power was so insignificant. Even a person like him with great supernatural powers was still helpless in the face of the great trends in the world.

Soon, Liu Zang had brought his horse over. It was past noon, and the four of them planned to find a place to stay after crossing the Ten-Arch Bridge. After that, it was only more than 200 miles away from Jinyang City, and they were expected to arrive at noon tomorrow.

Chu Xiaomu suddenly remembered something and said, "Brother, I heard that the Ten-Arch Bridge also requires a certificate from the Ding official. We..."

Xiaoying asked quickly, "What is the Ding Yuanwendie?"

Jinglan quickly said, "Don't worry, I'm prepared."

Liu Zang asked, "Young Master, you... didn't you come from Jinyang City? You don't even have a certificate of officialdom, do you?"

Xiaoying realized that she had let the cat out of the bag and quickly scolded him, "What do you care?"

Chu Xiaomu said: "Of course we have it, Brother Liu, I'm just afraid that you will be in trouble..." He thought to himself that if you can't make it, I will just have to leave you on this side of the bridge, and you can't blame me then.

Liu Zang chuckled and said, "I'm sure I don't have the turtle egg document, but I have my own way, so you three masters don't need to worry about it."

Xiaoying pouted and said, "I don't believe it. Can you fly over there?"

As the four of them were talking, they had already arrived at the north gate exit of Bailaji.

I saw the forty or fifty soldiers who had killed the slaves earlier standing in line in front of a white wall more than ten feet high, and two bronze officers were pasting a large piece of gold paper on the wall.

A large group of people gathered around, craning their necks to see what was written on the gold paper.

Jinglan said, "The notice was posted on gold paper. It looks like something big is going to happen in Jinyang City. Let's go take a look."

The other three were also curious, so they led the horse into the crowd to watch. Xiaoying was a little shorter, and couldn't see the gold paper even if she stood on tiptoe, so she simply rode on the horse's back.

No one was taller than her now. She could see everything in her surroundings and read out the words one by one: "The red soldiers are rolling in, and the red disaster is surging. The army of the Red Sand Country is now stationed at the southern gate of our city. The situation is critical, like an egg on a rock. In order to resist the red soldiers, our city plans to add a gold lieutenant, select talents through martial arts, and hope that heroes from all over the world will gather to join in the grand event..."

Then he jumped off his horse and asked, "Brother, this notice says 'selecting people by their martial arts ability', what does that mean?"

Chu Xiaomu and Liu Zang only understood half of these flowery words and looked at Jinglan together.

Jinglan said, "They in Jinyang City want to appoint another Jinwei, and they are going to select the talent through a martial arts competition. That's probably what they mean."

Xiaoying asked again: "What do the two big seals at the end mean?"

Jinglan was blocked by someone but didn't see it, so she could only say: "Whoever has the seal will be the one to handle this matter. It seems that this matter has to be jointly hosted by the two major forces in Jinyang City. No wonder it is covered with gold paper."

The silver lieutenant said in a loud voice: "Hello heroes, or friends who have heroes at home, or friends who know heroes, this is the notice of the martial arts competition to select the golden lieutenant in our city. This important event is jointly hosted by our city's young master Jin and General Xuan, and it is not a trivial matter. Three days later, there will be a martial arts competition in Jinyang City to select a golden lieutenant. Please spread the word, let the more people know, the better..."

The four of them immediately understood that this matter was jointly organized by Jin Lier and Xuan Ying.

Liu Zang shook his head and sighed, "This Xuanying and I used to live in the same room. I never thought that he could now be on equal footing with the young lady of Jinyang City... Alas, this guy..."

Chu Xiaomu was both happy and worried. He was happy that Xuanying had such great abilities and he would benefit from them to some extent; but he was worried that Xuanying was in a high position and must have a lot of things to do every day, and he didn't know whether he would be free to help him.
