Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

Chapter 270 Token

"lead the way!"

Xiao Zhixue's order was powerful, but it also caused her family to worry.

Zhou Shuqiong hurried forward and tried to dissuade them: "Third girl, this is dangerous. What if the other party imprisoned you?"

Xiao Wei also had an anxious look on his face, and obviously didn't want Xiao Zhixue to be in danger.

Xiao Zhixue smiled warmly, patted her mother's hand gently, and turned to her father and brothers and said, "Don't worry, with Fan Yanmu here, the city lord won't dare to do anything to me easily."

Zhou Shuqiong and Xiao Wei looked at each other, confused. Their knowledge of Fan Yanmu was limited to that he was a brave warrior guarding the border, but they didn't know that he also had a distinguished status as a descendant of a marquisate.

Just as everyone was talking, a tired little tit struggled to fly towards Xiao Zhixue.

That was Jiuer. After a long journey, I finally found her.

However, when it fell tremblingly into Xiao Zhixue's hands, it had exhausted its last bit of strength.

Xiao Zhixue took Jiuer into her own space with heartache. There was plenty of food and spiritual spring water there, enough for Jiuer to restore her strength.

When Xiao Zhixue faced her family again, she had already made up her mind. She smiled at her mother's question and said, "Mom, I let it go free. Now is not the time to talk about this. I have to go see the city lord. You and Sister An stay here. An Ying'er will protect everyone."

An Ying'er received the signal and said nothing extra. Her gaze lingered on Fan Yanmu for a moment, knowing that she didn't need to say anything more.

Protecting her family's safety is her duty.

Xiao Zhixue walked up to Ren Fei, only to see that he was still kneeling on the ground, trembling.

"Lead the way. If you make any unusual moves, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

Ren Fei had no choice but to straighten his back. His men also got up one by one. Fear made them restrain their previous arrogance.

The group walked out of Shengyuan Mansion in a panic like defeated generals.

Xiao Zhixue and Fan Yanmu followed closely behind, while Ying Yi and Ying Er stayed behind to protect everyone at home.

He rode his horse at full speed, heading straight for the City Lord's Mansion.

When they arrived at the mansion, the guards saw Ren Fei returning and thought he had returned victorious.

But when they looked carefully, they found that Xiao Zhixue and Fan Yanmu were safe and sound, but Ren Fei and his group were covered in wounds. They immediately realized that something was wrong.

A man hurried into the mansion to report.

Ren Fei dismounted and cautiously led Fan Yanmu and Xiao Zhixue into the City Lord's Mansion.

When the city lord Yuan Gaoxuan heard the news, he was furious and was ready to order the capture of the two men.

Before the order was given, Xiao Zhixue and Fan Yanmu had already walked into the hall. Ren Fei knelt on the ground and appealed: "City Lord, it's them!"

Seeing this, Yuan Gaoxuan shouted angrily: "Come here, take them down!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense and a storm was about to happen.

Soon, several nimble figures suddenly rushed into the magnificent hall. Their eyes were fixed on Xiao Zhixue and Fan Yanmu, and they were eager to capture them.

However, as soon as they took a step forward, there seemed to be an invisible barrier in the air, and an extremely powerful internal force surged silently. In an instant, these intruders were bounced back several feet away like kites with broken strings, and fell to the ground in horror.

Yuan Gaoxuan, the second young master of the Nanchong City Lord's Mansion, was usually arrogant and domineering, but when he saw this scene, his usually domineering eyes revealed an expression of incredible horror.

In his mind, the plan he had previously conspired with Yuan Shang and Ren Fei to frame Fan Yanmu was instantly shattered by this sudden change, as if it had become a distant and vague phantom.

Fan Yanmu has an upright posture and steady and powerful steps, and every step he takes reveals a majesty that cannot be underestimated.

He walked towards Yuan Gaoxuan slowly and leisurely, as if he was strolling in his own back garden.

He just waved his hand and grabbed Yuan Gaoxuan's throat easily as if catching a shadow. The force gradually increased, making Yuan Gaoxuan's breathing difficult. His face turned from pale to red and he was in unbearable pain.

"Although you have many eyes and ears, you still can't learn to restrain yourself! How dare you challenge me!"

Fan Yanmu's voice was as cold as ice, and every word was like a biting wind that made Yuan Gaoxuan's heart tremble.

Yuan Gaoxuan's consciousness began to blur, and he instinctively stuck out his tongue in an attempt to relieve the pressure in his throat.

Yuan Shang witnessed this scene on the side. Fear made his whole body stiff and he dared not make a sound.

Although he had no impression of Fan Yanmu, Xiao Zhixue's face was deeply imprinted in his memory. She was a woman who was not only skilled in martial arts but also ruthless, and had made his subordinates suffer.

He never expected that the person who caused him huge losses that time was a seemingly weak woman.

When Yuan Shang saw Xiao Zhixue raising a cruel smile and approaching Yuan Gaoxuan step by step, he was filled with fear and cold sweat dripped down his face, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

He once fantasized that with the power of the city lord, he could do whatever he wanted in Nanchong City, but the reality was a loud slap in the face.

Not only was he frustrated, but even the reputation of the City Lord's Mansion was severely trampled underfoot.

At this time, Ren Fei had already been knocked to the ground by Xiao Zhixue's heavy punch and was unconscious.

Xiao Zhixue walked in front of Yuan Gaoxuan, the smile on her face looking increasingly cruel and playful.

"Oh, so you are the mayor of Nanchong City. You are well-known. After meeting you today, I find that your reputation is well-deserved. Where is your usual bossy demeanor? Now you are like a tiger with its teeth pulled out."

Yuan Gaoxuan felt the pain of suffocation and struggled desperately, but Fan Yanmu's hand was as motionless as an iron clamp.

Xiao Zhixue's words were like a raging fire, igniting the anger and unwillingness in his heart, and his body trembled more due to anger.

Just when Yuan Gaoxuan thought he was about to die here, Xiao Zhixue signaled Fan Yanmu to show mercy for the time being.

"Let's keep this person for now. Maybe he can be of great use."

Fan Yanmu loosened his grip slightly as instructed, allowing Yuan Gaoxuan to catch his breath, greedily breathing in the precious air.

"Who are you? What are you doing in Nanchong City? Why are you hurting my family and my men for no reason?"

As Yuan Gaoxuan questioned, his tone was filled with a hint of powerlessness and despair.

Xiao Zhixue smiled contemptuously and explained their purpose: "The border is in constant war, and the emperor has ordered us to come here to recruit able-bodied men. I didn't expect your nephew to dare to challenge the law, and as the city lord, you cannot escape the punishment of the law."

Yuan Gaoxuan frowned, obviously full of doubts about such an explanation.

Here, where two countries are fighting, how could the Emperor of Xiliang directly intervene?

Even though he was in an unfavorable situation, he still tried to raise doubts: "Unless you can show me the imperial token, I will never believe your one-sided words."

Xiao Zhixue chuckled, took out a finely carved token from her space ring, and held it in front of Yuan Gaoxuan.

"Open your eyes and take a good look. This is the token of the general at the border. He can command thousands of troops. How can you question it?"
