C453 City entry blocked (2/2)

After the guard was asked, he was also stunned, and then he heard a rough voice, ”City lord has ordered for bandits to enter the city and massacre the city yesterday. Someone must have helped them, and the people who are missing in the city are treated as hostages. However, he did not know the details.

Now, the Crown Prince was risking his own life to save others. In order to prevent people from harming his highness, no one was allowed to enter the city today. ”Interrogate later!”

The one who spoke was a man wearing crimson red general armor. This person should be the leader among these people.

Right now, there were only a few hundred soldiers, but Mu Ru Yue's group only numbered less than fifty. Amongst these people, there were even elderly, women, and children. Naturally, they could not resist.

For a moment, everyone panicked.

”This... Lord, we escaped from the slave market! We were captured yesterday. Fortunately, someone helped us escape, so please let us in quickly. We cannot let His Highness the Crown Prince be tricked by a traitor! ”

Within the crowd, someone reacted first and hurriedly said to the general.

”Humph!” Nonsense, what slave market? When did my Peony City ever have such an evil place? Stop talking nonsense! ”Men, arrest these people, wait for the mayor to come back before you conduct an interrogation. Before that, do not spread the news and disturb the people!”

With that, these people rushed forward to capture him.

”No!” Lord, we didn't make any mistakes. ”

”Lord, you want us to meet the City Lord!”

The crowd struggled. If they really were captured by these people, they knew very well what would happen to their lives. If something really happened to the crown prince, then these people would be thrown out as scapegoats to face the wrath of the royal family.

They really had nowhere to run.

They had just escaped from the den of wolves, and now that they were entering the den of tigers, they were naturally unwilling to do so.

”Capture him quickly. Kill anyone who resists.” The general said impatiently. The sideburns on his face were twitching, and his eyes were glaring ferociously.

Mu Ru Yue looked at these people and couldn't help but sneer.

”Is that why you brought us back?” On the side, a young man in tattered clothes looked at Mu Ru Yue, his eyes filled with killing intent. Mu Ru Yue was stunned by his gaze, but then she chuckled. You know, I'm one of you victims right now. ”

As she spoke, Mu Ru Yue walked out as well. ”This general guarding the entrance of the Peony City is really impressive. Since when did you have the qualifications to punish human life? ”

”Who is it?” Do you dare to doubt the orders of the City Lord of Peony? ” He then walked towards the crowd. When he saw that Mu Ru Yue was a girl, he said with even more dissatisfaction, ”You are just a woman, how dare you question our mission?”

”Why not?” Mu Ru Yue asked.

After Murong Yue walked out, the people who came with her also realized that there was still Mu Ru Yue.

”Who are you? Do you have the city edict of Peony City? This general suspects that you are related to those bandits. Capture this woman for this general! ”Interrogate him on the spot!” The general looked coldly at Mu Ru Yue and glanced at the crowd as he spoke.

He looked at these people with satisfaction and immediately quieted down.

As expected, killing a chicken to make an example of a monkey was right.

Mu Ru Yue's gaze instantly turned cold. She looked at that person and smiled. ”You want to capture me? I'd like to see what qualifications you have to capture me. ”What qualifications do you have to interrogate me?”

”Who do you think you are? Are you still planning to threaten this general? Even if you are from a powerful family in the city, it's useless! ”The city lords have ordered that the bandits outside the city shall be the ones to be arrested first. This general even has the right to kill them on the spot!” With that, all of them rushed to Mu Ru Yue's side.

Mu Ru Yue's gaze chilled as she took out a jade pendant. This jade pendant was given to her when they first got married. She had never used it. It was also the only thing that could identify her.

However, before Mu Ru Yue could light up the jade, she heard a shout from inside the city, ”Stop! Don't be rude to the Seventh Princess! ”
