Tian Shu County
As a town tens of thousands of miles away from the Great Wilderness City and far from the center of the Wilderness Domain, it can be considered remote and backward.
The urban population is less than ten million.
Compared to the hundreds of millions of people in other parts of the Great Wilderness City, Tian Shu County, being a small county town, is naturally insignificant.
The development there was not as advanced as that of the Great Wilderness City. Within Tian Shu County, only the county governor was a Saint, while the rest of the forces were only at the Divine Realm.
At this moment, Zhou Mu was a force to be reckoned with for the people of Tian Shu County.
now
Zhou Mu stood outside the gate of Tian Shu County, gazing at the bustling crowd at the city gate. He then turned to Su Yuan, who had come with him, and asked, "Where are those bandits?"
Su Yuan's face was already somewhat pale. He shook his head and said, "On the way here, I contacted Ye Ming. He said that the bandits had changed locations, and the Ye family had long been aware of their whereabouts. I'm afraid that only the Ye family knows this now."
After Su Yuan finished speaking, he took a few deep breaths.
It was only after that that things returned to normal.
A dark glint flashed in Zhou Mu's dark eyes.
"In that case, let's go to the Ye residence first."
As he spoke, he took the lead and went inside.
As I passed through the city gate, the pressure on my shoulders inexplicably increased.
He frowned, but when he looked at the person next to him, he found that the latter did not react at all.
My doubts deepened.
At this moment, soldiers in armor walked over and stopped Zhou Mu and his companion, saying, "Where are you from, sir? Judging from your appearance, you shouldn't be a local martial artist."
Zhou Mu said, "I came from Great Wilderness City to help my brother with some business."
He pointed to Su Yuan standing to the side.
At this moment, Su Yuan lowered his head, somewhat avoiding the gazes of the soldiers.
He silently took a step back.
It seemed like there was some fear in them.
The soldier sneered and said, "Raise your head and let me see what you look like."
Su Yuan stammered.
He didn't make any movement; he seemed somewhat afraid to look up.
As the soldier shouted in surprise, the surrounding soldiers slowly gathered around.
The city gate, which was once packed with people, was now only sparsely populated due to the soldiers' obstruction. After a short while, the soldiers saw that the crowd had mostly dispersed and slowly closed the city gate.
Several city gate guards were whispering among themselves, glancing at Zhou Mu from time to time. After they finished speaking, one of the soldiers hurriedly headed into the city.
Even if Zhou Mu was slow-witted, he realized at this moment that something was wrong.
He quickly looked at Su Yuan and asked, "What happened?"
The soldier who had spoken to them earlier asked, "Young man, is your name Su Yuan?"
Zhou Mu nodded.
After receiving an affirmative reply, the soldier shouted, "Fugitive Su Yuan, surrender now!"
As he spoke, his hand paused, and the sharp longsword slashed towards Su Yuan.
However, Su Yuan did not make a move, and seeing this, the soldier simply placed his hand behind Su Yuan's neck and then remained still.
At this moment, Su Yuan was completely under their control.
Zhou Mu, who was standing to the side, was stunned.
He was completely unaware of what was happening in front of him.
He swallowed hard, looked at the soldier from before, and said with a smile, "Brother soldier, what's going on? We're all law-abiding citizens, very law-abiding citizens."
"What kind of law-abiding citizen?"
The soldiers were completely confused.
Zhou Mu then realized that he had misspoke.
The term "good citizen" was merely a name used by evil invaders at that time.
"We're all good people, good people! Brother, have you arrested the wrong person?"
"Heh, whether it's right or wrong, it's not up to you or me. We'll decide the verdict when our superiors arrive."
After saying this, the soldier ordered his men to escort Zhou Mu and Su Yuan towards the prison outside the city.
Su Yuan remained silent throughout.
It was at the mercy of others, like a human doll.
Zhou Mu wanted to resist, but the soldiers had somehow installed some kind of secret treasure on him, which had suppressed his cultivation, making him no different from an ordinary person.
Inside the prison cell.
Zhou Mu looked depressed.
However, as he looked around the cell, something suddenly seemed familiar.
"Have I been here before?"
A wall covered in moss, with a tiny, pitiful window only about one and a half meters high.
The cell was very dark.
It's also very closed off.
Only by relying on the light shining through that window could one vaguely distinguish whether it was day or night.
The faint smell of blood made Zhou Mu feel increasingly familiar with it.
A surge of memories unexpectedly welled up in my mind.
In that lifetime, he was a powerful general, second only to the emperor, wielding immense influence over the court.
He spent his life on the battlefield, fighting against countless tribes, and finally pacified the world. Based on his numerous wounds and outstanding military achievements, he was specially granted the title of Duke of Zhenguo by the emperor, ranking above all officials and enjoying treatment beyond the first rank.
Then, out of great favor, the emperor disregarded the ancestral rule that people of different surnames could not claim the title of king, and allowed them to establish a clan temple and offer incense.
At that time, he commanded a million soldiers, all of whom were extremely loyal.
In the military camp, he commanded absolute obedience, listening only to the general's words and ignoring the emperor's decrees.
The world can be turned upside down in a single thought.
In the midst of his triumph, the emperor married his most beloved little princess to him.
He eagerly awaited his beloved, but what awaited him was a sharp, poison-laden blade and an assassination attempt by over a hundred elite assassins.
After being captured, the sage tore off his mask of hypocrisy and launched a massive crackdown on those who had been closely associated with him. In order to avoid implicating the innocent, he committed suicide in his cell.
