The obsidian worm's small wind blade can be launched anytime and anywhere. Although it is not very powerful, it is more than enough to deal with these first-level city guards.
In an instant, all the standard spears close to Zhang Mu had their spear heads cut off by the sharp second-order wind blades and fell to the ground in unison.
These first-level evolver guards only now discovered that the black beetle under Zhang Mu and the other man was actually a second-level mutant beast.
There are many second-level evolvers, but tamed second-level mutant beasts are extremely rare. It seems that only that adult owns one in the entire Hohhot city.
The one who can tame a second-level mutant beast is naturally a second-level evolver with extremely strong taming ability. The two wanted people in front of them are actually such people.
The soldier captain who had just brought out the portrait for comparison couldn't help but curse in his heart.
"You're trying to trick me? How can I catch this?"
"The target person is a second-level being, you can't defeat him, keep your distance!"
While shouting, Zhang Mu did not continue to let the obsidian worm attack. He took the opportunity to step back and shouted, "Team One requests support!"
The leader on the city wall just now thought that it was just ordinary people causing trouble. This kind of thing happened every day, so he was used to it. But when he heard the captain of the first team asking for support, his face suddenly changed.
"Hello, Lord Chimu, I have some trouble here. I'll go deal with it and then I'll take you to see the other Lords."
Ha Chimu was far away, and couldn't see clearly because of the crowd, but the sound of insects just now was Zhang Mu's obsidian insect. He instantly realized that there was a conflict with Zhang Mu. He thought to himself that this was not good. This was not his territory, but he didn't hesitate at all. He loosened the reins, pushed away the onlookers, and rushed over.
"Captain, these two are the ones City Lord Xiao Nan specifically asked to arrest."
The soldier just now ran to the leader in shock, holding the portrait and speaking to him breathlessly.
This huge black beetle has blown away a team of his men. Although no one suffered any substantial harm, with so many citizens watching, the image of the city guards has plummeted.
This leader obviously knew that he was going to arrest Zhang Mu and the others. He threw the portrait to this person without even looking at it, and his face became a little uncertain. Originally, arresting people was not a big deal. Even if they were second-level evolvers, he could mobilize people to arrest them. But now things were complicated.
While he was speaking, Hachimu stood in front of him with a huge axe in his hand.
They were talking to the young couple who were captured.
If it was just someone he had a good relationship with, it would be fine. He could just give the order to arrest the person. But this was not the case with Hachimu. Although he was also a second-level evolver, Hachimu's identity and strength were there.
He was the sub-city lord of the Ordos capital area. Even if it was the order from City Lord Xiao Nan, he couldn't do this directly without going through Ha Chimu's hand. Moreover, Ha Chimu was already walking towards him.
"Bardo, why did you order the arrest of my two friends?"
Zhang Mu didn't know why these people had his portrait. It was also his first time in the capital, so he couldn't be considered a wanted criminal. Ha Chimu was even more confused, but Baldo in front of him had a good personal relationship with him, so Ha Chimu asked him to be responsible for the negotiation.
"Ha, Lord Chimu, although you and I are of the same rank, in terms of identity, I am just a captain of the city guards. You know, I don't have the authority to deliberately arrest people."
The leader named Baldo also looked helpless. He took the portraits of Zhang Mu and Yuan Rui handed over by the people around him, showed them to Ha Chimu and said, "This is the order we received from City Lord Xiao Nan a day ago. Anyone entering the city who looks like the person in the portrait will be arrested directly. If there is resistance, kill without mercy!"
"Xiao Nan?"
Ha Chimu pondered for a moment and said directly, "I brought them to the auction. They are my people. Even if Xiao Nan is the mayor of this capital, if he wants to arrest people directly, they must have committed acts that endanger the safety of the capital. Otherwise, he has to come to me in person to arrest people, otherwise he would be too disrespectful to me, Ha Chimu.
You can spread the word that I, Ha Chimu, took the people away. If these two people cause any harm to the capital, I, Ha Chimu, will bear the responsibility. Or you can ask him to come and talk to me."
Baldo smiled bitterly and said, "You are also the mayor of the city. According to the rules of the capital, you should at least not let them into the city. But since you, Hachimu, asked, I, Baldo, will let them in first, but I must ensure that they will not harm the capital.
As for this matter, I will report it to City Lord Xiao Nan. I am just an errand boy, so please don't take your anger out on me."
This is because Baldo and Hachimu have a very good personal relationship and are drinking buddies, so they are not so wary of Hachimu's identity as the city lord and helped him this time.
"Remember to buy me a drink tonight!"
"No problem. I'll come when you get off guard."
"Brother Zhang Mu, let's go. I'll tell you in detail when we get into the city."
As soon as Ha Chimu blew the whistle, Chixue leaped over the heads of the crowd and rode into the capital together with Zhang Mu.
Even Baldo did not notice that a soldier from his city guards secretly slipped away with the flow of people towards the capital under the pretext of managing the crowded crowd.
"Who is this City Lord Xiao Nan?"
After listening to what Ha Chimu told him, Zhang Mu asked in confusion. He didn't know this City Lord Xiao Nan at all, let alone having offended him in any way. Now, this was his first time in the capital of Hohhot. It couldn't be that his enemies from future lives had been reborn and followed him here.
"Xiao Nan is the leader of the Wind Wolf Riders. He is usually quite taciturn. To use the words of you Central Plains people, he is a low-key person. He and I have basically no interaction. I don't know what he is talking about."
"Forget it. If something really happens, it will come to me. I'll just make the best of it."
Zhang Mu waved his hand and looked at the bustling streets, but his mind was not here at all, because the greatest attraction of this capital was not here.
Ha Chimu saw what he was thinking, turned his horse's head, and said to Zhang Mu, "Brother Zhang Mu, I originally planned to find a place to live first, but since you are so anxious, let's go to the temple and let you take a look first. Although the temple is heavily guarded, my status as the city lord is there, and I shouldn't stop you."
"That's great."
Zhang Mu nodded, and then quietly called the obsidian worm to follow Chixue closely, flying towards a remote path.
After about a quarter of an hour, Zhang Mu and the others arrived in front of a huge temple.
The Jiyuan merchant ring on Zhang Mu's right hand told him that this was the Jiyuan store, which had now been transformed into a temple. There seemed to be many believers and the incense was very strong.
It seems that it is true that those Jiyuan agents are deified in the hearts of ordinary people.
"How do I get through this?"
“This is the Great Temple for believers to worship. Your real temple, the Small Temple, is right below the Great Temple.
The above is just to hide the truth."
Ha Chimu looked at Zhang Mu with a strange look in his eyes and said, "Don't you know?"
If Ha Chimu hadn't told him, Zhang Mu really wouldn't have known. He could only determine the approximate location of the Jiyuan store. Who would have thought that these Jiyuan agents would come up with so many tricks.
