The Legend of the Resourceful Princess

"Yes." The City Lord of Peony City had a respectful and cautious attitude. Then he said, "Your Highness, it's time to go. The bandits' request is to go to the west side of the river. The west side of the river is still quite a distance away from here." The man reminded him.

Feng Qing nodded when he heard this.

"Your Highness …" Are you serious? " However, Feng Qing didn't even turn his head back as he directly left the City Lord's Mansion.

The gate of the City Lord's Mansion was opened. The commoners that surrounded the mansion saw Feng Qing coming out, all felt a burst of disbelief. Feng Qing looked at the crowd and frowned. The Peony City Lord said, "His Highness the Crown Prince is kind and benevolent. He has already decided to go save the Crown Prince. Leave quickly and don't delay your journey."

"Long live His Highness, the Crown Prince."

Someone in the crowd shouted. The crowd then shouted out in unison. Even after Feng Qing got into the carriage, his ears could still hear the shouts. When the City Lord of Peony City came up, he said respectfully, "Your Highness is truly respected by the people. Even I, the City Lord, have never been this enthusiastic."

"I am only doing what I have to do. As for respect, for the citizens who will come to pay their respects to the royal family, that is the right thing to do, isn't it? " Feng Qing looked at the Peony City Lord as he spoke indifferently.

When the man heard this, he was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, "Your Highness' words are correct. I was stupid. "

"The mayor is a smart man." Feng Qing said. His gaze descended upon the City Governor of Peony City. He couldn't help but recall the first time he saw the City Lord. Back then, when the City Lord was still alive, he had already taken control of the entire Peony City.

The him at that time was a bit more immature than he was now, but his style of doing things had already been revealed. Now that he had taken over the Peony City, he was much more obedient compared to before. Previously, he had heard that the Peony City's City Lord was very hospitable, but after arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, he hadn't seen a single guest at all. In fact, he hadn't even seen a single guest. It was as if he was being placed under house arrest.

The City Lord of Peony City was not as simple as she seemed to have agreed with Jun Mo Xie's words.

"Your Highness, actually, I have a little bit of it, I have never understood it." The mayor of Peony City looked at Feng Qing and asked.

"City Lord, be direct."

"May I ask Your Highness, why must you come here? Your Highness, your status is very high, even if you do not come, it is still okay. Even though there would be people who would be disappointed, it would not truly cause them to feel cold. What exactly is the reason for putting yourself in danger like this? "

The mayor of Peony City looked at Feng Qing, waiting for his answer.

When Feng Qing heard this, he remained silent.

The man didn't continue asking after making himself look like a fool.

The gray sky gradually turned white as the sun rose. Outside the city, the people who had escaped from the slave market had finally arrived at the city gate. They looked at the huge carving of the peony flower and the signboard inscribed with the three characters' Peony City '.

The crowd stood at the entrance of the Peony City with deep emotions. Some of them even burst into tears.

"Your father …" and he's really back! "

"Haha, I survived."

Everyone outside the city continued to shout and shout. Some of them excitedly rushed to the main gate and prepared to enter, but before they could enter the city, they were blocked by three times the number of soldiers than usual.

They faced the people in front of the door and coldly glared at them. "Who are you? "How dare you cause a ruckus at the Peony City Gate?"

"I'm from three streets in the city. This, this is my city entrance token." The people blocking the entrance were flustered as they took out their city entrance tokens. In Peony City, the local residents all had these tokens, so when they took the tokens into the city, they didn't need to pay any money.

Due to the fact that they were all people from the Peony City, the guards of the city gate had been very good to them in the past. However, this time, these people coldly looked at them: "Come! Capture these people! "

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of guards surrounding them.

"Master, what does that mean? We... What did you do? " Everyone panicked.

Within the crowd, Mu Ru Yue looked at this scene coldly. She didn't step forward, but wanted to see what exactly was happening.

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! "
