Chapter 357, City Lord Wang

After Wang Da Shao and his group ran away completely without even seeing the smoke, Ning Rongrong said helplessly: "These guys are really useless. I didn't even use my auxiliary soul skills, and they were actually beaten away by you, Qi Ling!"

And Xue Ke, who was standing aside, was looking at Qi Ling, who was showing his power, with a face full of infatuation, and was almost fascinated.

How could there be such a perfect person in the world, impeccable in both temperament and appearance, and with such powerful strength, and just the right way to treat people and things, he is simply the favorite of God.

"Okay, let's get ready to enter the city." Qi Ling said, "But looking at the appearance of this Wang Da Shao, when we enter the city, it is estimated that there will be a welcome ceremony!"

"Ah? Welcome ceremony? Will there be an event?" Xue Ke was immediately happy when she heard that there was a welcome ceremony.

And Qi Ling looked at her and couldn't help laughing. As a princess, she probably didn't know what the welcome ceremony she was talking about meant.

The three of them walked towards the city together. They did not encounter any soldiers blocking them on the way, but after entering the city, the city gate suddenly closed, trapping them in the city.

Then, a large number of soldiers suddenly poured out of the city, led by a fat man on horseback, and blocked Qi Ling and the other two at the city gate.

"Stop! Where did you come from? You are so brave that you dare to touch my son, the king city lord. Don't you want to live?" The fat man was riding on the horse, and the horse's back was almost bent, but he still said arrogantly.

Facing the siege of a large number of soldiers, Qi Ling was not panicked at all, because the reason why the king city lord could be so arrogant was because of his status as the city lord, which gave him an illusion of high status and power.

But now, Qi Ling's status is a marquis, which is much more noble than this so-called city lord, because the city lord is just a position, and he does not have a title himself, which is equivalent to just a worker who manages the city for the marquis.

Even though Qi Ling, the newly appointed Marquis, could not be taken seriously, the person next to Qi Ling was the only princess of the Tiandou Empire. Even if Qianxunji stood here, he would not dare to touch her at will.

No matter what Xue Ke thought, she represented the glory of the entire Tiandou Empire. Anyone who dared to use force against her could be regarded as a challenge to the Tiandou Empire, and in serious cases could even be punished for treason.

So when this Wang City Lord was so arrogant and dared to send troops to encircle and suppress them, he was destined to be unlucky today. As for the degree of unlucky, it depends on his next performance.

So Qi Ling rode forward and said to City Lord Wang: "Are you the city lord here?"

City Lord Wang raised his nose and said: "Exactly! There is no one in this area who doesn't know me, City Lord Wang! Where did you come from, country bumpkins, and how could you be so ignorant?"

Qi Ling smiled and said: "That's a pity. Unfortunately, we have never heard of your name. However, I think you should know this thing, right?"

Qi Ling said, took out the token symbolizing the identity of the Marquis, and threw it to City Lord Wang.

City Lord Wang didn't care at first, thinking that Qi Ling wanted to bribe him, and just took the token casually, but when he saw the words on the token clearly, he was so scared that he trembled and almost fell off his horse.

"This, this is the Marquis's Order! And it's the latest Marquis's Order! Are you..." City Lord Wang said timidly.

"You are sensible, and not only that, Lord Wang." Qi Ling let Xue Ke next to him out and said, "The one next to me is the beloved daughter of the current emperor, the only princess of the Tiandou Empire, Princess Xue Ke! Do you know how big a crime you have committed?"

Lord Wang was shocked again after hearing this. He didn't expect that his son would like Princess Xue Ke! Offending the princess is a capital crime!

"I...I..."City Lord Wang's forehead was covered with cold sweat. Even as arrogant as he was, he knew what kind of trouble he had caused.

And now he took a closer look and found that this man was so handsome and outstanding in appearance, and he was such a young marquis. Could he be the son-in-law?

In this case, it would be even more impossible for him to forgive himself. His three-generation family business might not be able to be saved! Thinking of this, Lord Wang couldn't help but become timid and determined.

"Come here! Catch these two people pretending to be the marquis and princess!" City Lord Wang suddenly shouted, and quietly hid Qi Ling's marquis order.

"These two people actually disguised themselves as the marquis and princess, and swindled people along the way! Fortunately, this city lord saw through their conspiracy and prevented them from succeeding and causing greater losses! Hurry up and catch them, regardless of life or death!"

Qi Ling saw that City Lord Wang actually slandered him as a liar, and immediately understood his plan. He must have planned to keep himself and his men here in order not to be punished. He was so bold that he even dared to touch the princess!

So Qi Ling shouted: "Soldiers, don't be bewitched by him. City Lord Wang has committed a capital crime by openly attacking the imperial marquis and princess. You don't have to die with him."

"Nonsense! You are simply liars, you can't be marquis and princess!" City Lord Wang said anxiously, "Whoever catches them, I will reward you heavily!"

As the saying goes, a big reward will attract brave men. After hearing the reward promised by the city lord, these soldiers immediately showed greedy looks. They were short-sighted and didn't care whether they had the life to get the money or the life to spend it.

Seeing this situation, Qi Ling snorted coldly and said, "Dear soldiers, I advise you not to make mistakes. I am a genuine marquis, and the one next to me is also the real Princess Xue Ke. If you don't get out of the way, I will punish you for treason!"

Hearing Qi Ling say this, many soldiers hesitated. After all, Qi Ling really didn't look like a liar. They had to consider their own lives.

Qi Ling didn't have time to wait for them to make a decision, so he said, "From now on, I will count to ten! If there are still people standing in front of me after I finish counting, I will regard you as enemies of the empire and eliminate you!"

"Ten! Nine! Eight..."

After Qi Ling finished counting ten numbers, some soldiers chose to withdraw and left here, but more soldiers still stayed, obviously deciding to be enemies with Qi Ling.

The fate of most of these people is tied to the King of the City. If the King of the City is unlucky, they will definitely not be much better off.

"It's just right, it seems that we can get rid of all the pests here at once." Qi Ling smiled, "Let you see what real power is!"
