794: Chapter 754 The City Lord’s Letter_1 794: Chapter 754 The City Lord’s Letter_1 The group of new guards before me obviously hadn’t realized the severity of the problem yet.

They had been training in the barracks all along and knew little about the outside world.

But there was one thing they knew, and that was the City Lord’s command must not be defied.

The leading guard captain looked at Dongfang Cheng soberly and said, “I will say it one last time, the martial law level this time is at its highest, concerning a major issue that relates to the safety within the city.”

“If at this critical juncture, someone with ill intentions breaks in here, and causes harm to the fragile Myriad Stars City, can you bear the responsibility?”

With his hands on his hips, Dongfang Cheng looked at the captain and asked, “What if I say that I can bear the responsibility?”

“Sorry, but what you say doesn’t count.

Only what our City Lord says matters; he is the ruler of this city and the only one who calls the shots here.

His orders are something we all should obey.”

The look on Dongfang Cheng’s face darkened as he stared at the captain, saying, “Stop talking nonsense; I don’t want to waste too much time on you!”

“We don’t want to waste time either.

We have other matters to deal with.”

Dongfang Cheng continued, “If the City Lord is called over for this little matter, it might blow up into something big, which wouldn’t be easy to resolve.

I don’t want to escalate things to that level.”

“I advise you to be wise and open the gate.”

But the captain of the guard squad remained in his spot, serenely looking at Dongfang Cheng, “Impossible.

Even if the City Lord himself came, he would praise us for doing well, for diligently completing the task he entrusted to us.”

Covering his forehead, Dongfang Cheng sighed helplessly, “Just a bunch of greenhorns fresh out of training; so be it, let the City Lord come then.”

He turned his head towards the attendants of the Dongfang Residence and said, “You go to the City Lord’s Mansion and tell the City Lord to come to the north city gate.

I’ll wait for him here, and oh, also tell him Lu Chuan is here too.”

“Alright, Young Master.

What should I do if he doesn’t come?”

“He wouldn’t dare not to come; just go to the City Lord’s Mansion, we will wait here for a moment.”

The attendant got off the carriage and started running towards the City Lord’s Mansion.

At this time, Lu Chuan also got off the carriage and walked towards Dongfang Cheng, “They don’t intend to let us pass?”

“Not at all; they’re incredibly stubborn and actually think they’re doing the right thing.”

Lu Chuan shrugged helplessly, “Then let’s wait for the City Lord.

It’s his negligence for not disciplining his soldiers well.”

After a short while, they saw from afar City Lord Zhao Huangqian galloping towards them on a fast horse.

Soon enough, the horse arrived and stopped beside the carriage.

He quickly dismounted and walked towards Lu Chuan.

“Young Master Lu, I hope I’m not too late?”

Zhao Huangqian hurried over, looking anxiously at Lu Chuan.

“You’re not too late, but it indeed has delayed us.

We’re heading to Forest City and time is tight; I hope not to waste any more time.”

Hearing this, Zhao Huangqian nodded vigorously, “No problem, leave the rest to me.”

He then walked over to the guards.

“Have you all gone mad?

Daring to block anyone!

This young master of the Dongfang family, and Young Master Lu, are both highly reputed figures in Myriad Stars City, not people your rank and file can stop.

This is an embarrassment to me!”

He scolded them.

Suddenly, a squad of guards all knelt down to Zhao Huangqian, not daring to talk back any further.

“Kneeling down to me is useless.

Kneel to Young Master Lu, apologize to him.

If he forgives you, you may yet save your lives.

If he doesn’t, then you might as well be dead!”

Zhao Huangqian shouted in a fury.

Swish!

The captain of the guard squad quickly lifted his head, looking at Zhao Huangqian with a surprised expression.

He never imagined that the man he had casually stopped would bring him to the brink of execution!

He immediately broke out in a cold sweat on his back, his body shaking, and hastily knelt towards Lu Chuan, “Lu…

Young Master Lu…”

“It was my blindness that failed to recognize Tai Shan; please forgive me!”

Lu Chuan looked down at him and asked indifferently, “Didn’t you say that during martial law, no one is allowed to enter or leave?”

“Do I have that authority?”

He nodded hastily, fearfully saying, “Of course you do, please forgive me, I train in the barracks all day long and have little understanding of the outside world; I did not recognize your esteemed name, it is truly my negligence!”

His body trembled violently; he was just a new soldier who knew only to blindly adhere to rules, and now realizing he had offended a person of influence, he acknowledged his grave mistake.

Faced with such a situation, Lu Chuan could not be bothered to argue.

“Forget it, since your attitude seems sincere, I’ll spare your lives.”

“Now, we should be leaving the city.”

“City Lord Zhao, let’s meet another day.”

Lu Chuan turned to look at Zhao Huangqian.

“Hold on, I have something for you.”

Lu Chuan looked on curiously as he took an envelope out from his bosom.

“This is a letter of introduction I wrote.

Take it to Forest City, and you can give it to the Forest City Lord; after he reads it, he will naturally understand more about you.”

“The Lord of Forest City is a close friend of mine, we often meet in private, and once you hand over the envelope to him, he will be of great help to you.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan quickly took the envelope, “Is that so?

Thank you very much for your concern.”

“I was mainly thinking that in Forest City, the City Lord’s power is absolute.

If you don’t get along with the City Lord, it would be much harder for you to get things done in Forest City.”

“Take it with you, we’ll meet another day.”

Zhao Huangqian waved his hand towards Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan boarded the carriage, the city gates slowly opened, and the carriage proceeded out.

After leaving Myriad Stars City, the carriage headed north, making its way towards Forest City.

During the long journey, there is always a need for something to ward off the boredom.

Gu Xiaorou leaned against the window, starting her embroidery, while Gu Xiaorou herself simply lay on her side to sleep.

“Young Master Lu, the journey is long, you should rest for a while.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, then continued to ask, “Do you know much about Forest City?”

Dongfang Cheng immediately became interested and continued, “I lived there for a while when I was a child; it’s a nice place with beautiful scenery, very suitable for living.”

“Moreover, the spiritual energy is abundant there.

When I was laying the foundation for my martial arts training as a child, I completed it in that place.”

“That truly could count as a wonderful time.

When playing in the mountains and forests, one could feel the beautiful breath of nature.”

“Once we get there, I’ll take you around, it’s been many years since I’ve been, and I may not be very familiar with many places.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “No problem, it seems that you do know something about Forest City, at least much more than I do.”

“Young Master Lu is making a jest, you come from the secular world; if I didn’t know more than you, it would mean I’ve lived here in vain.”

Suddenly, Dongfang Cheng’s curiosity was piqued, and he asked, “By the way, what is the secular world like?

I’ve never been there, nor have I heard anyone talk about it, but I’ve heard that it’s a world starkly different from the Kunlun Domain.”
