Lin Chen tied the reins, stopped on the spot, sat on the horse's back, and looked into the distance.

"Young Master Lin, what's wrong?" Liu He, who was driving the car behind, saw Lin Chen stopping, so he immediately stopped the carriage and asked.

"There are officers and soldiers searching the city gate in front!" Lin Chen watched for a while, and then answered.

"Search?" Liu He also felt strange when he heard this.

As the bandits said, there were no governments in various parts of Nanzhou, only local residents or nearby sect disciples acted as militias to defend the city. Even if they were defending the city, not to mention Nanzhou, even if they were big cities in the three states of the east and west, north and the west, under normal circumstances, they would just send a few soldiers to stand at the gates to guard the city. Unless they encountered some major incident, there would be no situation where they would need to search one by one when entering the city.

Since that's the case, what's going on ahead?

Lin Chen turned over and got off the horse, and slowly walked forward with the horse.

He patted a passerby on the back shoulder and asked, "Brother, do you know what happened ahead?"

The man turned around, looked up and down at Lin Chen, and asked, "Brother, are you from another place?"

He shook his head and continued, "What else can I do? In the past few months, a group of bandits have appeared outside the city. It would be fine if they were ordinary bandits, but by chance, they actually disguised Liang State as a caravan and snatched them! If such a thing happened, how could those Liang people resist? They directly asked someone to defend the surrounding county town and wait for Liang State to send troops to suppress the bandits!"

"Can it pass?" Lin Chen asked again.

The passerby shook his head and said, "If you want to enter the city, it's okay. If you leave the city, you can only walk out one by one. If you want to pass through the city from the other side, you can only wait until the Liang army comes to suppress the thieves before leaving."

"Is there no other way?" Lin Chen frowned slightly.

Passers-by said: "It is said that Liang Jun has obtained the consent of Wangyue Tower in this matter, so there is probably no other way except waiting to suppress the thieves... But I think you should be a gangster, right? I heard that Wangyue Tower is calling on all walks of life to suppress the thieves. Then Liang Jun said that when the thieves are suppressed, they will leave. Brother, since you are a gangster, you might as well go and have a look."

"Thank you!" Lin Chen nodded and turned around and walked back.

Liu He, who was waiting in the carriage, saw Lin Chen walking back, and quickly got up and got out of the car and asked, "Shaoxia Lin, what's the situation ahead?"

"The situation is not very good!" Lin Chen frowned slightly and said, "The officers and soldiers of the Liang State were robbed by bandits. It is said that they had to wait until they sent troops to suppress the bandits before opening the city!"

When Liu He heard this, he sighed and said with a bitter face: "How can you encounter this matter?"

Lin Chen shook his head and said, "It's useless to complain about these, let's talk about it first!"

As he said, he pulled the horse slowly towards the city gate.

"stop!"

Before a few steps, a soldier guarding the city gate placed his left hand on the hilt of his waist, while his right hand had five fingers together, his palms turned outward, making a stop gesture, and said, "Search!"

Lin Chen spread his hands.

"Who is in the carriage?" The officer and soldier searched Lin Chen and Liu He. Apart from a sword body and a small purse, he didn't find anything else. So he turned to look at the carriage behind him and asked.

"Woman." Lin Chen said, "Do you want to search for this?"

"No! My lady is weak, how can she..." Liu He spoke hurriedly.

Unexpectedly, the officer and soldier turned around and asked, "We are not qualified to watch it? Will we bump into your lady?"

"This..." Liu He said for a while. He wanted to say "yes", but he didn't dare. Just as he was about to grit his teeth and agree, he saw the officer and soldier wave his hand and said, "I don't know how many times you have heard this!"

After saying that, the officer and soldier did not care about Liu He's rudeness, but pointed to a civilian woman who was about to enter the city and waved, saying, "Come here, go in and see who is inside!"

Seeing this, Liu He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said nothing.

It is better for a woman to go in and search than a man to go in and search. If he stops him, he will be ignorant. Even if the officer and soldier have a good temper, he may be angry.

Soon, the woman got off the carriage and said respectfully, "Sir, there are indeed two girls in the carriage."

The officer and soldier stared at the expression of the civilian woman carefully and asked, "Is there anyone else?"

"No more!" said the civilian woman.

When the officers and soldiers heard this, they stopped being embarrassed. They stood aside, waved their hands, and said, "Go over!"

"Let's go!" Lin Chen said to Liu He, and then turned his horse on his back.

"Okay!" Liu He responded and also flipped into the carriage.

Several people entered the city, first found an inn to settle it, and then Lin Chen carefully told Mu Yuejiao about the ban on passing.

"Mr. Lin, what should we do next?" Mu Yue asked softly.

Lin Chen shook his head and said, "It is said that the Liang Kingdom's thief suppression army will be able to arrive for a while, so at present, they can only rely on Wangyue Tower to summon people from the Jianghu Lake and the existing Liang army to suppress the thief. If Miss Mu is not in a hurry to go back, then it is okay to wait for a while. If you are in a hurry to go back, then I will go to Wangyue Tower to take a look."

Mu Yuejiao missed her for a moment and said softly: "Then I'll trouble Mr. Lin."

As soon as this is said, the meaning will naturally be clear.

Lin Chen nodded and said, "Then I'm leaving. Please stay in the inn and don't walk around in a random way! After all, no one knows whether this bandit will sneak into the city!"

"Please rest assured, Mr. Lin, Yuejiao knows the importance of it." Mu Yuejiao smiled.

…………

I raised my glass to look at the bright moon in my drunkenness, and wanted to climb the sky above the tower.

This city is called Wangyue City, and the sect in charge of this city is called Wangyue Tower.

The Moon Tower is located in the center of the city, and its building is very tall and magnificent, and can be easily found.

At this moment, many people gathered downstairs of Wangyue. Judging from their dress, they were probably a group of people from the world.

It seems that the rumors that Wangyue Tower is going to spend a lot of money to summon people from the world are correct.
