The woman in front of me was absolutely stunning, and she was followed by about twenty other young girls, all of whom were also very beautiful!
Offering these people to the Holy Kingdom, whether for conducting experiments or as a means of amusement, would be the best option!
But before he could speak, a burly man suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his lecherous gaze!
"You're Magistrate Liu of Xiqing County!?"
Magistrate Liu scoffed, "That's right! I am Magistrate Liu! Where did you audacious madmen come from? How dare you kill officials sent by the imperial court! Arrest them all!"
Lin Ru then spoke up to stop her, saying, "Wait! You, the county magistrate, have quite the airs of an official!"
"They didn't even kneel down to pay their respects when they saw me."
"Didn't the guard next to you explain this to you?"
"My name is Lin Ru! I am Her Majesty the Empress of Fengtian Kingdom! You are in Mianzhou, under my jurisdiction, so you should abide by my rules and come over here to pay your respects!"
Upon hearing this, Magistrate Liu burst into laughter, and even the officials behind him laughed with ill intent!
"You, a mere young girl, dare to call yourself Her Majesty the Empress? Are you even fully grown yet? What proof do you have that you are Her Majesty the Empress?"
"I think you're an imposter."
"Who says it isn't? And how can you prove it's under your jurisdiction?"
"This is clearly Xiqing County! It's under the jurisdiction of Magistrate Liu!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xianling proudly puffed out his large belly. The people next to him hadn't seen anyone dare to cause trouble at the county government office for a long time. Now, the people of Xiqing County had either fled or died. Those who remained were just an illusion. They were forced to stay in order to attract more outsiders. However, those outsiders wouldn't be so bold as to provoke the county government office on their very first day!
Everyone's eyes shone with excitement and anticipation!
"I think this little girl must have come from some remote mountain village, otherwise how could she be so ignorant?"
"You should be the ones coming to pay your respects to the magistrate and all of us officials, yet you expect us to pay our respects to a mere young girl like you? How ridiculous!"
"I've never seen anyone as bold as you before!"
Magistrate Liu sneered, "I think this little girl has been too well protected by her family; she doesn't know her place anymore!"
“Even when the Marquis of Zhenxi was in power, he wouldn’t have dared to say that this was his territory. How dare you speak so arrogantly? It seems you haven’t been taught a lesson.”
"Guards, hurry up and arrest these arrogant people!"
"But considering they're fairly good-looking, please don't damage their faces!"
"Otherwise, the interrogation will be very difficult!"
The people around seemed to be used to doing this kind of thing. Their faces were full of knowing smiles, and they drew long knives from their waists with lewd grins, ready to rush forward!
But to everyone's surprise, the beautiful young woman standing on the carriage pulled out something that looked like a bow and arrow from somewhere!
She pointed the object at the county magistrate standing at the front, and then there was a whoosh!
The county magistrate, who had just been spouting arrogant words, suddenly collapsed to the ground!
An arrow was clearly stuck in his eyebrow!
Before they could react, the second and third arrows were fired!
By the time these people realized what was happening and tried to find cover, it was too late. The seemingly burly man moved through the crowd like a ghost, and in a short while, half of them were killed by his blade!
The other half of the people died from those strange arrows!
These people just couldn't understand how a little girl who couldn't even kill a chicken could kill so many of them in such a short time.
If they had known these people were so powerful, they certainly wouldn't have come out to watch the show, nor would they have come out unprepared with only these guards!
The dozen or so people who had been following Lin Ru were all stunned by the scene before them. Their county magistrate had been dealt with in just a few moves!
These people simply couldn't believe it; now that the county magistrate and those officials were all dead, they were all starting to feel afraid!
They all wanted to take this opportunity to escape!
But to my surprise, that pretty girl reached the carriage with just a light touch of her toes!
Then he picked up the strange thing in his hand and aimed it at them, and there were a few whooshing sounds!
They actually fired ten arrows in an instant!
They quickly used their lightness skills to try to escape, but the sword was too fast and too powerful. Although they dodged the vital points, they were still cut to some extent!
Just when they thought they had escaped a disaster, the wound suddenly began to hurt intensely!
When they looked down, they realized that the blood flowing from the wound had begun to turn black, and the pain had spread from the cut to their whole body. Even bending the flesh of the injured area did not help!
The poison was fast and potent, and these people soon died!
This series of events happened so fast that Shui Xiang and the others didn't even have time to react before all the officials were dead!
Lin Ru smiled and put away the crossbow bolts. Wu Ling shouted loudly from the side, "The magistrate of Xiqing County and his subordinates disrespected His Majesty! They have been personally executed by His Majesty!"
"If the rest of you lay down your weapons and surrender immediately, we will spare your lives; otherwise, you will be punished as accomplices!"
After he finished speaking, there was complete silence around him. It wasn't that no one wanted to answer, but that they were all dead, and now only Lin Ru, Shui Xiang, and the others remained!
Moreover, the people in this area are already like frightened birds, and they will stay far away from anything that happens, so there is not even anyone to watch the excitement!
And so, Lin Ru and the others walked confidently into the county government office!
All the officials who didn't come out to watch the commotion were subdued!
They fed each of them a poison!
Finally, he led them to quickly kill the county magistrate and the families of the other officials!
They even led a team to count the number of the dead, ensuring that not a single one escaped, before finally having all the gold and silver treasures inside moved out!
They returned to the county government office in a grand procession!
This series of actions was like a thunderclap, and quickly spread throughout Xiqing County!
Even the magistrate of the neighboring county received the news!
