A day later, Li Mu arrived in Kyoto. The former Kyoto had long lost its prosperity. Like other cities, it was buried in the snow. There was a team of guards at the city gate. Although the gate was deserted, they still looked around vigilantly like hunting lions.
"You two, please show us your ID!" As Li Mu and his companion approached the city gate, a guard stopped them.
"ID? What is that?" Chen Xian looked confused.
The guard became alert upon hearing this and loaded his gun.
Fortunately, Li Mu took out his Dragon Soul Token and saved the day.
"What's the situation in Kyoto now?" Li Mu asked calmly.
"Reporting to the chief, the Xia Palace was attacked by a group of bandits some time ago, and Kyoto is now under control!" A guard reported to Li Mu.
"So, Xia Palace actually withstood the attack?" Li Mu was a little surprised.
"Yes, but we are not very clear about the specific situation. The higher-ups have strict control over this area," the guard added.
Li Mu nodded slightly, then strode into Kyoto City. Chen Xian hurriedly followed, and Miao Xiaobai sat on Chen Xian's shoulder.
Kyoto, the ruling center of Daxia, is indeed very different from other cities. Even in this extremely cold weather, the streets of Kyoto are still very clean, and even the snow has long been cleared away.
People walked on the street from time to time, but everyone was in a hurry, and even those who were traveling together did not communicate much.
Li Mu gave Chen Xian a look, and Chen Xian understood. He stopped a passerby and asked, "Hey, fellow villager, have you eaten?"
The passerby just looked at Chen Xian as if he was a fool, then walked away from Chen Xian sideways.
"Hey~ How come you, my fellow villager, have no manners at all?" Chen Xian complained as he looked at the back of a passerby.
Then Chen Xian stopped another person and used the same words, but was still met with a wave of cold stares.
Chen Xian was extremely depressed. Finally, he saw an old man passing by. Thinking that the old man would have a better personality, he stopped the man again and asked, "My fellow villager, what did you eat today?"
"Where did this country bumpkin come from? Where are we? This is Kyoto! Who is your fellow countryman?" The old man said angrily. "Fellow countryman" has always been the name used by Kyoto people to address others when they go to other places. When did anyone use this name for them? Isn't this a mess? Therefore, he, who shouldn't have said much, couldn't help but confront Chen Xian.
"Well...that's right. You and I are from two different worlds." Chen Xian was stunned for a moment. As a disciple of the four major sects in Kunlun Mountain, he originally wanted to establish an approachable personality, but he didn't expect that others would not appreciate it at all. So forget it!
Seeing Chen Xian adjust his position, the old man's expression eased a little and he continued on his way.
"Young man, wait, I have something to ask you." Chen Xian hurriedly stopped the old man. It was not easy to catch someone who could talk, he couldn't let him go so easily.
Hearing Chen Xian addressing him, the old man paused, then pointed at Chen Xian's nose and said, "You little thing, are you looking for a beating? Do you have any manners? Do you know how to respect the elderly and love the young?"
Li Mu was also a little speechless when he saw the situation here, so he quickly walked over and said, "Uncle, my little brother is not sensible, this doesn't work well, don't bother with him."
As he spoke, Li Mu pointed at Chen Xian's head.
"If you don't have a good brain, don't bring him out. This is Kyoto! Not just anyone can come here." The old man said angrily.
However, when Xiaobai, the cat on Chen Xian's shoulder, heard this, he was immediately unhappy. "You guys are quarreling, why are you dragging me into this?" Then he barked twice in dissatisfaction, but no one present paid any attention to him.
"Sir, what you said is too much." Li Mu frowned. It was because he had a good temper in the last few tens of thousands of years. If it were in the past, someone like this old man who spoke nonsense in front of him would have been slapped to death by him.
"Hey~ Have I said too much? Do you know that Kyoto is under control now? It is strictly forbidden to chat on the street, let alone talk to strangers, but you stopped me and made trouble. Aren't you looking for trouble?" The old man said angrily. He was so angry that Chen Xian broke the control rules just now, so he just let out his voice.
"Is the situation in Kyoto so serious?" Li Mu frowned and muttered.
Just then, a group of soldiers ran out from a corner of the street, and without saying a word, they immediately captured several people including the old man.
"Sir, I am innocent! It was this country bumpkin from outside the province who deliberately led me to talk to him." The old man hurriedly defended himself.
However, the soldiers had no intention of listening to his explanation. They just carried out the orders given by their superiors like machines. As for whether he was wronged or not, the people above would investigate it. It was not their concern.
But at this time Li Mu took out the Dragon Soul identity token. After the soldiers saw it clearly, they stopped and saluted Li Mu respectfully.
The old man was secretly shocked when he saw this: "Wow, this is a big shot!"
"Everything that happened here is a misunderstanding. You don't have to worry about it anymore." Li Mu said lightly.
To Li Mu's surprise, he actually saw a hint of embarrassment on the faces of these soldiers.
"Hmm~? Is there a problem?" Li Mu frowned.
"Commander, the control regulations were issued from within the Summer Palace. No one is allowed to violate them under any excuse..." The captain of the soldiers looked bitter.
"You mean, you're going to arrest me too?" Li Mu raised his eyebrows.
The captain of the soldiers straightened his face and said resolutely: "Commander, military orders cannot be violated. I hope you can understand. If you have any objections, you can report to our superiors in person. Now, please come with us!"
Li Mu smiled, and after a long while he said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
The captain of the soldiers finally let go of his worry after hearing this. You have to know that Li Mu is the Red Token, the highest level existence among the Dragon Souls, and one of the top few people in the Great Xia Dynasty. He really doesn't want to use force against Li Mu. As for whether he can defeat him or not, he is not worried. Now the times have changed, both warriors and cultivators are no longer popular.
Then the captain of the soldiers gave his men a look, and several soldiers walked towards Chen Xian and the old man with handcuffs.
