In the backyard of the City Guard Office, a gentle breeze brushed by, and the lake rippled.
"Zi Yu, are you really going to eliminate Tiger Head Stronghold?"
Yan Yao asked with a slight smile, holding the moonlight.
Ye Yang held a roster and said, "Well, since I have become the City Lieutenant, I must fulfill my duty to ensure peace in this area, right?"
Yan Yao's gaze was like water as she chuckled softly, "I think you have other motives, don't you?"
"Ah ha, how could that be?"
Ye Yang waved his hand and said, "I'm going to Azure Peak Mountain. The leader of Tiger Head Stronghold is quite powerful. Yan Yao, do you want to join me for some excitement?"
"Sure!"
"Aren't you afraid that the leader of Tiger Head Stronghold will capture you and make you his wife as the Princess of Yan?"
"Hehe, with you around, I'm not afraid!"
Yan Yao laughed lightly, her beautiful smile causing Ye Yang's heart to stir. When did this beautiful girl develop such trust in him?
At that moment, a messenger guard rode in swiftly. Dismounting, he held a command token and said, "City Lieutenant, Governor Lord Pang Jing has issued an order: during the Imperial Demon Extermination Order period, no one is allowed to lead subordinates out of the city to hunt down bandits!"
Ye Yang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "As the City Lieutenant, do I not even have this little authority?"
"Yes, my lord!"
The messenger guard replied solemnly. "According to Qin Law, any action involving more than 50 people must be personally approved by the city guard lord before proceeding. I hope you understand!"
Ye Yang couldn't help but ask, "Pang Jing, what do you have to say?"
"The lord he..."
The guard hesitated for a moment and said, "The lord has not made it clear, only stating that Liang City is stable and peaceful, and there is no need to leave the city to deal with bandits. Ouyang Hu, being an Earth Level Six expert, is not easy to handle. The city guard hopes that the City Lieutenant can think twice. Ouyang Hu has always been at peace with us in Liang City; we should not act rashly."
"At peace?"
Ye Yang gritted his teeth and suddenly threw the Bamboo Slip he was holding onto the ground, shouting, "Half a month ago, Ouyang Hu raided Qingshui Town and killed 17 people. Seven days ago, Ouyang Hu brazenly entered Ningyuan Town and abducted Pavilion Chief Zhang the Old Man's daughter. Three days ago, he robbed and killed 14 merchants on the official road. Such a wicked scoundrel, and you actually want to condone him? I think this Governor Pang Jing is no longer fit for the position!"
"My lord, you..."
Ye Yang's words were forceful and left the small guard speechless. He hadn't expected to provoke Ye Yang like this, nor did he anticipate that this young man would dare to insult the Governor so openly; it was truly outrageous!
Ye Yang looked at the guard and the recall order in his hand, extending his hand and saying, "Give me the token!"
"Yes... yes, my lord!"
The guard dared not defy him and handed over the token.
Ye Yang took the order in one hand and suddenly shouted, producing deep red flames from his palm that instantly melted the recall order into a pile of scrap metal.
Returning the token, Ye Yang said to the guard, "Help me deliver a message to Pang Jing."
The guard nearly fainted from fear, trembling as he asked, "What..."
"Being an official without serving the people is better than going home to sell sweet potatoes!"
“……”
“Are you still not leaving?!”
“Yes, my lord…”
The guard left, his earlier arrogance completely vanished.
Yan Yao finally couldn't help but chuckle, “If officials don’t serve the people, they might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes. It’s quite amusing, Zi Yu, what are sweet potatoes?”
Ye Yang was taken aback, “Well… it’s just a type of crop. Eating it keeps you youthful!”
“……”
Yan Yao smiled and asked, “Zi Yu, can you tell me why you sent that city lord's messenger away?”
Ye Yang smiled slightly, “Hmph, that old fool Pang Jing is just sitting on his position without contributing. He only knows how to scheme and fight for power, trying to stop me from eliminating Tiger Head Stronghold. Undoubtedly, he just wants to limit my command over the troops. Besides, he wants me to build my reputation among the Liangcheng Army. Hmph, he thinks too highly of himself!”
Yan Yao chuckled lightly, “Indeed, your mind is as clear as a mirror!”
“Hehe!”
……
In the blink of an eye, afternoon arrived. Led by Wang Lie, fifty Subordinates stood in formation at the City Guard Office. After a brief confrontation in the morning, Wang Lie's attitude toward Ye Yang had suddenly changed. This tough man respected only those with strength and virtue, and Ye Yang possessed both qualities while also being willing to rid the people of harm. Such a person was undoubtedly someone Wang Lie admired greatly.
“My lord, we are ready!” Wang Lie cupped his fists and said.
Ye Yang held the True Fire Sword and, accompanied by Yan Yao, said, "Thank you for your hard work, Wang Lie. Let's set off!"
"Yes!"
Wang Lie hesitated slightly, casting a glance at Yan Yao. "My lord, do we really have to bring this beautiful young lady? Tiger Head Stronghold is a place where villains run rampant."
Ye Yang couldn't help but chuckle and turned to Yan Yao, saying, "Princess, someone doubts your abilities."
Yan Yao angrily stepped forward, drew her sword, and with a swift motion, the Blade was sheathed again. In the blink of an eye, half of Wang Lie's sword hilt slowly fell away, cleanly severed. Wang Lie didn't even have a moment to react; in terms of strength, he was clearly far inferior to Yan Yao.
"This... how is this possible?" Wang Lie looked at the hilt in disbelief and exclaimed, "I didn't expect that besides Peng Yue'er from Liang City, there would be such a remarkable young lady with impressive skills. Miss, who is your master?"
"I won't tell you!"
Yan Yao stuck out her tongue and quickly returned to stand behind Ye Yang, leaving Wang Lie almost stunned.
Ye Yang was also slightly surprised. In just a few days, Yan Yao's strength had dramatically advanced to the Earth Level Four realm. With the Fifth-Rank Weapon Moonlight Sword in hand, her true power was likely comparable to that of an Earth Level Six expert. Perhaps with the Moonlight Sword, Yan Yao could even slay Ouyang Hu using the advantage of a Divine Weapon.
(Sorry, I couldn't get online yesterday due to matters in the countryside. I will post another chapter tonight.)
