C148 Arcane Realm

Before the date, Kanming Jun ordered his men to hand over the weapons they had forged. Prefecture Lord Yann accompanied the people from the capital to inspect the weapons. At first glance, his expression changed. The people from the capital were even more furious, immediately ordering people to take down the four people from the Gan family. They went straight to jail.

At first, Gan Mingjun and the others thought that there was some misunderstanding, but they found out that... The crime An gave them was: The weapons used for the Emperor's birthday celebration were made of black paint by the Gan family. It must be because he was dissatisfied with the Emperor and his crime should be punished.

The Gan family knew that if they wanted to add the crime, they would have no choice but to do so. Such a crime could be big or small. Life and death were all in the mouth of others. If they had known earlier, they definitely wouldn't have surrendered without putting up a fight, so they might as well just fight to the death with the other party. Unfortunately, he was already a prisoner. He could only be the meat on the chopping block. These people hated Prefecture Lord Yann so much that their teeth itched.

If it wasn't for Zhang Jingxuan forcing them into a corner, Prefecture Lord Yann wouldn't have handed them over no matter what.

Zhang Jingxuan understood the whole story, and his contempt for Prefecture Lord Yann deepened. Since he had encountered the Gan family, he naturally had to take care of it.

"Alright, then I'll take some losses. I'll take these four people. One person for two hundred weapons, a total of eight hundred. Still lacking two hundred weapons, you're such a big old prefectural lord. Don't tell me you're going to say you can't take it out? "Seeing Zhang Jingxuan's bamboo stick cracking, Prefecture Lord Yann only felt tired in his heart. How could he be so unlucky to meet such a master?

Forget it, forget it. There were too many things that could happen in the long run. Prefecture Lord Yann was too lazy to even talk about the situation. He directly arranged for Zhu Xiuwen to handle the matter of people and weapons.

Zhang Jingxuan saw that the matter was similar to what he had expected, and he felt a burst of joy in his heart.

Getting out of the apprenticeship and benefiting from it, he had pretty much tormented this Prefecture Lord Yann. He still had to know when to stop in case he forced the other party to jump over the wall in desperation. He might not be able to gather all the food and weapons immediately, but it was too stuffy to sit here. Zhang Jingxuan rolled his eyes and moved in front of Prefecture Lord Yann, who was pretending to be asleep with his eyes drooped.

"Lord Yann, such a big thing has happened. With your personality of loving the people, shouldn't you go out and take a look yourself? Why don't you lead everyone to the city wall to see what's going on? What do you think?"

Yan Shiting thought to himself that there were too many things going on in his heart. Didn't he see that the capital was suffering? The capital felt bitter in its heart, but the capital did not say it.

However, since everyone who was staring at each other felt uncomfortable, he might as well pretend to agree readily. The grandmaster beside him called out, and the guards were like stars surrounding the moon. Prefecture Lord Yann was surrounded by a crowd of people, and they rushed out of the tower. Zhang Jingxuan followed beside him. No one paid attention to him either.

When they arrived at the city wall, they saw that the defending troops were facing a great enemy, and their faces were filled with fear.

Prefecture Lord Yann lightly scolded, "Raising troops for a thousand days, in the end, they still have no troops to use. Just these soldiers, what can we hope for them to do?"

When everyone went up the tower and looked out, almost everyone was speechless. They finally knew why the soldiers guarding the city were so uneasy.

They saw that the city protection river under the city wall was packed with people. Looking down from the high wall, it was pitch black like a group of ants.

Zhang Jingxuan did not know how he thought about it. It was no wonder that officials liked to call ordinary people ants. Because the officials always looked at the people high and mighty, and at the same time, they looked at their lives as lowly as ants. Perhaps that was the reason.

But today, these little ants gathered together, covering the sky and covering the earth. Even if they were going to die, they had to bite their opponent first, and with one bite, they could bite their opponent until there were no bones left.

This black mass of people could not be seen at a glance. What was even more strange and terrifying was that so many people had gathered together. Surprisingly, there was no noise, not even the occasional cries of children. They would be immediately stopped, and everyone would close their lips. They didn't say a word.

It had to be known that as long as there were ten people gathered together, there would be a few existences who would make loud noises. Now that there were so many people gathered together, it was almost completely silent. This kind of silent pressure was terrifying and suffocating.

Could it be that they had already been killed by the Hungry Devil or the Evil Devil, and were no longer strangers?

In the wilderness, there was only the howling of the wind that aimlessly echoed.

The scene in front of them was so strange that it was surreal. No wonder people couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air when they saw this.

After all, Prefecture Lord Yann had been through a lot. At this moment, his expression did not change. However, his voice did not seem to be as stable as before. "Advisor Ruan, look at how many people are down there."

Advisor Ruan replied in a trembling voice, but he wasn't vague either. “ When a man reaches ten thousand, he will be boundless. When a man reaches one hundred thousand, he will drag the earth down to the heavens. Sir, I think there should be around seventy to eighty thousand people just outside the gate. There are fewer outsiders in the other gates, but there should be ten to twenty thousand people in total. There should be about 100,000 people in total. "

Zhang Jingxuan did not know the concept of numbers that well. After hearing what Advisor Ruan said, he was also shocked in his heart. This number was about twice as much as what he had expected. It was one thing to have too many disaster victims. On the other hand, everyone was really well-informed. In such a short period of time, could it be that they had rushed over regardless of distance?

On the city wall, everyone had a worried look on their faces. Many people gathered together under the city walls. Surprisingly, it was not crowded or noisy. Instead, it gave people a sense of order, completely unlike a motley crew.

Zhang Jingxuan only felt that something must have happened, but what exactly was it? He could not catch it and could not say it. He couldn't help but feel a little regret in his heart. He shouldn't have been so careless. He came to the governor's manor alone. His whereabouts were unknown, and the people from the Breeze Stronghold who had been planted in the prefecture couldn't contact him either. Otherwise, they would more or less give him some information, and he would not be so blind as to not know anything.

He just did not know if the people from the stronghold had come out to be the leaders of this disaster and helped them maintain order. However, he didn't give such an order, and logically speaking, this shouldn't have happened.

While he was thinking, Peng Junhua came from the left and explained the situation to Prefecture Lord Yann. "Master, I also found out that there are more and more starving people outside the city. A big reason was that a rumor suddenly spread in the countryside, Demons are destroyed, and gods come out. Civilians have no hunger, and they are raised to fight and be sealed.

Besides the disaster victims, many of the people surrounding the city were believers of the Litre Bucket Sect. They were gathered here because the Litre Bucket Sect had been spreading rumors about the existence of demons and devils in the West'an Prefecture these few days. They had to eliminate the demonic devils in order for the weather to be smooth and the people to live and work in peace. Many ignorant people have been bewitched."

After Prefecture Lord Yann heard this, he turned to look at Zhang Jingxuan. Zhang Jingxuan slowly shook his head, indicating that he knew nothing about it. It had nothing to do with him.
