"Haha, no problem."
Chen Qing laughed, "Don't say that the sky of this barbarian city won't fall. Even if it does, the governor can hold it up. We don't have to worry at all."
He was just flattering a little bit. After all, the prefect of Mancheng was Zhao Tianci's father. Praising the prefect was the same as praising Zhao Tianci.
Zhao Tianci naturally benefited from this sentence, and the smile on his face became brighter.
But when he turned around and saw his subordinates who were just so impatient, his face immediately turned sinister: "Why were you so impatient just now? What happened? Are those barbarians from Beidi coming to attack again? Or are the bandits trying to attack the city and rob again?"
Because Mancheng was located on the border of the Dagan Dynasty, it was often invaded by enemy countries, especially the Rongdi Kingdom in the north. They were good at cavalry and often came and went like the wind, robbing things and running away, making the people miserable.
In addition, severe droughts, natural disasters and man-made disasters in recent years have led to an increasing number of refugees. When the refugees gather together, they become bandits.
Therefore, the Dagan Dynasty increased its troops to the border every year.
The Barbarian City originally had only three thousand elite soldiers, but now it has been expanded to eight thousand.
Several nearby cities also increased their troops to varying degrees.
In short, there are a total of 100,000 troops in the entire northwestern frontier.
"Tell me, what's the matter that makes you so irritable?"
Zhang Tianci glanced at his subordinates sideways, very calm.
To him, as long as it happened in Barbarian City, it was not a big deal.
Chen Qing also looked at this subordinate with some curiosity, wanting to see what he would say.
Suddenly, Chen Qing seemed to have thought of something, and subconsciously said: "What you want to say, could it be related to Chen Xuan under the city wall?"
Just as the subordinate was about to speak, Zhang Tianci said disdainfully, "Impossible. I have already sent a captain to deal with the man called Chen Xuan. A captain commands a thousand elite soldiers, which is more than enough to deal with Chen Xuan."
In his opinion, a mere Chen Xuan could not cause any trouble at all.
"Sir, this matter is really related to this Chen Xuan. The captain was almost beaten to death by him!"
The subordinate spoke quickly, he was worried that if he didn't speak up, the captain would lose his life!
"What did you say?!"
Zhang Tianci stared at him instantly, "This is impossible!"
Chen Qing also frowned and said in a deep voice: "You are mistaken, how could Chen Xuan be a match for a thousand-man commander? As far as I know, the weakest person who can become a thousand-man commander has the strength of a seventh-level warrior, and Chen Xuan is just a waste who can't practice."
Chen Qing had already learned about Chen Xuan through various channels.
Chen Xuan has had blocked meridians, poor blood circulation, and unclear eight extraordinary tendons and meridians since he was a child. He is a natural loser and is simply unable to practice!
In the capital, he was looked down upon and even dogs on the street would bark at him.
It was also because of this that when Chen Xuan was falsely accused of theft and exiled to the frontier, no one spoke up for him.
No one will beg for mercy for a loser!
Chen Qing arrogantly refused to let Chen Xuan enter the city to intimidate him, wasn't it precisely because Chen Xuan was unable to practice?
He thought he could easily control Chen Xuan, but who could have imagined that his subordinates would now inform him that a captain of a thousand men was about to be beaten to death by him?
Isn't this bullshit?
Seeing that the two did not believe him, the subordinate smiled bitterly and said, "My two lords, it is absolutely true. How dare I lie to you about such a thing? Go and have a look quickly. If it is too late, this captain will be dead. I have already informed Commander Ling Mo. In my opinion, without Commander Ling Mo's personal action, I am afraid no one can save the captain."
Hearing this, Zhang Tianci frowned, still with an expression of disbelief on his face, and said: "Humph, is this Chen Xuan so powerful? Does he need Commander Ling Mo to take action personally? I don't believe it. Lead the way, I want to see if he has any supernatural powers!"
On the side, Chen Qing thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you too."
The two men immediately walked down the tower.
As soon as he came down, he saw the sword in Chen Xuan's hand against the captain's throat.
The centurion's entire neck was stained red with blood, and his face showed shock and fear.
Zhang Tianci and the other man just happened to see Chen Xuan interrogating the captain about who had instructed him not to let them enter the city.
Thousands of soldiers surrounded Chen Xuan's men, but they were too cautious to move.
When Zhang Tianci saw this scene, he was so angry!
Thousands of people were forced into this state by just one person. It was a complete disgrace to Mancheng!
"stop!"
Zhang Tianci shouted angrily. Although this captain had lost face, he was still a seventh-level warrior after all.
The death of a master of this level would be a heavy loss, so the life of the centurion must be saved at all costs.
"It's Master Zhang who's here!"
"Great! Young Master Zhang has come in person. The captain is saved!"
The soldiers around who were afraid of the consequences were all overjoyed when they saw Zhang Tianci coming.
The captain's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had seen a savior, and he quickly shouted, "Master, save me!"
Chen Xuan couldn't help but turn his head and saw a young man wearing a silk brocade robe and an exquisite jade pendant around his waist, looking at him with anger on his face.
Behind him stood a young man in a green shirt. The young man also looked very elegant and was obviously the son of a wealthy family. Chen Xuan saw the word "Chen" on the embroidery on his chest.
This man in green is from the Chen family!
Chen Qing happened to be looking at Chen Xuan, and their eyes met for a moment.
There was a hint of arrogance in Chen Qing's eyes, as if he was a high and mighty ruler, looking down on a weak creature.
Chen Xuan was immediately puzzled. How could this guy, who was from a branch family, feel so superior? How dare he look down on him, a direct descendant of the Chen family in Beijing?
“Stop it!”
Zhang Tianci stared at Chen Xuan, his masseter muscles on both sides bulged, as he was clenching his back teeth.
Because he saw the centurion whose neck was twisted by Chen Xuan, the thousand-man captain whose neck was covered in blood, and the horse that was lying on the ground bleeding after its two front hooves were cut off by Chen Xuan.
The whole scene was in a mess!
This is a barbarian city. The Prefectural Governor's Office represents the highest authority. Eight thousand elite soldiers are under the jurisdiction of the Prefectural Governor's Office. Among the people of the entire barbarian city, who would not be terrified when seeing someone from the Prefectural Governor's Office?
And now, Chen Xuan, the outsider, is slapping them in the face without mercy!
If the common people saw this, how would they view the people in the prefectural government?
Your prefectural government has so many soldiers, and it seems that you are so invincible and powerful, but in the end, you still get beaten by others, don’t you?
It’s not that great.
