I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2228 Big Iron Plate

Chu Nanchang looked grim. He was not afraid of Li Wancai because they were of the same rank, but the city lord was his direct superior. His sword-holding hand trembled slightly, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he was torn between his conscience and his desires.

"Sir, let's take a gamble." The attendant whispered beside him, looking at Chu Nanchang firmly, "I think this young man has an extraordinary demeanor, maybe..."

Chu Nanchang took a deep breath, suddenly drew out his sword, and pointed the tip of the sword directly at the ground: "Attack!"

The trusted men behind him immediately took a defensive stance and stopped the guards and officials outside the door.

"Chu Nanchang, do you want to rebel?" Mo Huaiyuan frowned and spoke in a low voice, but there was a barely perceptible hint of joy in his eyes.

This sentence was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing ripples around it.

Since Chu Nanchang was transferred to Hezhou City, he has become a thorn in Mo Huaiyuan's heart. Although this guy is upright and honest, his unyielding and outspoken character makes Mo Huaiyuan feel threatened.

Mo Huaiyuan had tried many times to find opportunities to get rid of this troublesome person, but Chu Nanchang acted upright and never left him any handle. Today, this opportunity seemed to have finally arrived.

"I'm not rebelling. I just can't stand your behavior of abusing your power and oppressing the people as officials of the Divine Realm!" Chu Nanchang stepped forward with a firm gaze and a powerful tone.

"Oh, if you want to rebel, just rebel. Why are you looking for a high-sounding excuse?" Li Wancai sneered at the side, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes.

"Brothers, Chu Nanchang has rebelled! He is no longer our city guard officer! Whoever follows him is a rebel! I don't need to tell you the consequences, just think about them carefully!" Li Wancai shouted to the city guards.

As Li Wancai finished his words, another group of soldiers armed with weapons quickly came up and surrounded Chu Nanchang and his confidants.

These soldiers are also city guards, but they are not Chu Nanchang's confidants. They are all natives of Hezhou City and obey the orders of the city lord. Especially those who extort pedestrians outside the city gate are even more obedient to the city lord, Li Wancai and others.

However, facing this sudden change, Chu Nanchang's confidants did not panic at all. They looked at each other, their eyes full of trust and determination.

These confidants are brothers who have followed Chu Nanchang through life and death many times. Their friendship has long transcended life and death, and they can completely trust each other.

"What the hell are you yelling about? I've long disliked you good-for-nothings. When I think about the time when I was defending my country at the front, it was you rubbish that I was protecting. I can't wait to chop you to pieces," a confidant stood up and cursed.

"That's right, you are a bunch of trash and you are not worthy of standing over my head and ordering me around. On the battlefield, you can't even last a charge. Don't waste time, fight quickly, I'm in a hurry to eat." Another confidant also stood up.

There was a touch of emotion in Chu Nanchang's eyes. Although he knew that these people would not betray him, he was still a little scared when it really came to this moment.

There was a hint of surprise in Liu Jun's eyes. This kind of morale and comradeship were very common in elite troops like the Jihuo Army, but not in ordinary armies. This Chu Nanchang had a way of leading troops.

"Go up." Mo Huaiyuan waved his hand coldly, his eyes revealing unquestionable determination.

Officials, guards, attendants, and newly joined city guards rushed towards Chu Nanchang and his men like a tide.

Chu Nanchang and his confidants behind him all tightly grasped their weapons. A trace of determination flashed in their eyes, a kind of courage to risk their lives, and a strong desire to fight ignited in their hearts, as if to set the whole world on fire.

"Where are the guards!" Liu Jun suddenly stood up and roared like a loud bell.

There was a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes. He had been waiting for such an opportunity to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger for a long time. Now he could finally act cool for a while.

When Mo Huaiyuan and his group arrived, he had already sent a signal to Tiger and his group outside the city. According to the time calculation, the Imperial Guards should be arriving soon.

However, his voice did not elicit the expected response. The scene instantly fell silent, and everyone looked at each other, as if they were wondering if they had heard it wrong.

"Oh my god, this is really showing off," Liu Jun muttered softly with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

He clearly felt that the guards were not far from here, so why hadn't they appeared yet?

"Guards? Are you still asleep? What kind of guards are there?" Li Wancai laughed at the side, his face full of sarcasm and disdain. He seemed to have seen the failure of Chu Nanchang and others, and his heart was full of pride.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the ground began to shake. The shaking became stronger and stronger, as if a large group of cavalry was approaching rapidly.

Everyone's faces showed surprise and panic. They began to realize that things were not as simple as they thought. In the distance, dust was flying and the sound of horse hooves was deafening. A well-equipped and aggressive cavalry team was sweeping in like a red storm.

Their armor gleamed coldly in the sunlight, and the spears and swords in their hands flashed cold light, as if they were going to destroy everything that stood in their way.

"The Guards are coming!" someone shouted in horror, with an undisguised tremor in his voice, as if he saw the end of the world coming.

Mo Huaiyuan grabbed Li Wancai by the collar, his eyes wide open, furious: "Didn't you say that you have checked these people thoroughly and found that they don't have any backers? Now that the Royal Guards have shown up, doesn't this prove that the identities of these three people in front of me are extremely noble? I, Mo Huaiyuan, have definitely hit a wall this time, and it's an extremely hard wall!"

Li Wancai's face was pale, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. He was completely frightened and stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence: "This...this...I, I did ask a lot of people before, and they all said that these three people were particularly cowardly when they were blackmailed by the soldiers at the city gate. They didn't look like powerful people at all. I...how could I know it would be like this!"

Recalling the past, Li Wancai felt a strong sense of regret. He had indeed inquired from many sources and confirmed that these three people had no power to resist when they were blackmailed by the soldiers and behaved extremely cowardly. In the past, those powerful people with backgrounds who were blackmailed would either backhand or slap them in the face. How could they pay the money honestly like these people?
However, the facts slapped him in the face. The three people in front of him seemed ordinary, but in fact they were of noble status, and even the imperial guards came in person. How could he not be terrified and regretful?
Mo Huaiyuan glared at Li Wancai fiercely, loosened his collar, turned around and looked at the three people surrounded by the imperial guards, with a trace of fear and helplessness in his eyes.

He knew that this matter had far exceeded his expectations and control, and he had to find a way to remedy the situation as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Unfortunately, before Mo Huaiyuan could rack his brains to come up with a plan, Liu Jun had already lost his patience. He raised his finger and pointed directly at Mo Huaiyuan and Li Wancai, his tone revealing an unquestionable determination: "Catch these two!"

"Yes!" With the order, four or five guards in fiery red armor rushed towards Mo Huaiyuan and Li Wancai as fast as cheetahs.

Seeing this, the ordinary soldiers and officers standing in front of the Imperial Guards hurriedly retreated, fearing that they would be affected by this unstoppable momentum.

However, no matter how fast they dodged, there were always people who couldn't dodge in time. One soldier was a little slow to react, and was shot away by a guard. He drew a beautiful arc in the air and finally fell heavily to the ground.

In a flash, Li Wancai and Mo Huaiyuan found themselves pressed against their throats by the cold tip of a gun. The tip of the gun flashed with a cold light, as if it could penetrate their skin at any time and cause fatal damage.

"Brother-in-law, save me!" Li Wancai's face was filled with fear, and his voice was trembling and desperate. He had never thought that he would fall into such a desperate situation.

"Shut up, can't you see the tip of my gun?" Mo Huaiyuan glared at Li Wancai, his eyes full of anger and helplessness. His brother-in-law always caused trouble for him, and now he was in a life-and-death crisis.

Mo Huaiyuan took a deep breath and tried to calm his panic. He knew that as the lord of Hezhou City, he couldn't lose his composure easily. So, he suppressed the fear and anger in his heart and asked, "Well, I don't know why you want to arrest us? We are..."

But before he could finish his words, he was slapped hard by a guard. The guard's face was cold and ruthless, and his voice was full of threats: "Shut up, did I ask you to speak? Who you are is not important in front of us. Now, be honest!"

Mo Huaiyuan's cheek was hurt by the beating, and there was even a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. He stared at the guards in front of him with wide eyes, anger and humiliation intertwined in his heart. However, he knew that he was at an absolute disadvantage at the moment, and the slightest carelessness could lead to death.

So, he could only suppress the anger and humiliation in his heart and silently lowered his head. Li Wancai was so frightened that he was trembling all over and didn't even dare to breathe. They all knew that their fate was now in the hands of these guards.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Liu Jun, the Platinum God King. You can also call me the Skyfire God King." Liu Jun slowly walked in front of Mo Huaiyuan. His voice was very low, but it seemed to contain endless majesty and power.

Mo Huaiyuan's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, as if a bolt of lightning had struck his heart. His legs instantly lost strength, and he knelt limply on the ground.

He had been praying in his heart, hoping that he could bleed a lot and pay more money, maybe so that this mysterious person would let him go. However, the person in front of him turned out to be the legendary God King! In this platinum divine domain, the existence of the God King is as bright and unattainable as the stars. Who is not full of awe for the God King?

Seeing this, Liu Jun just frowned slightly, then waved his hand and said, "Take them to the government office in Hezhou City and wait for their fate."

"Yes, sir!" The guards nearby responded in unison and quickly stepped forward to arrest Mo Huaiyuan and others.

Liu Jun turned to look at Chu Nanchang again and threw a token to him: "Chu Nanchang, take my token and bring your subordinates to immediately block all the gates of Hezhou City. No one is allowed to enter or leave, and anyone who violates the rules will be killed without mercy!"

Chu Nanchang took the token with both hands and nodded solemnly: "Yes, sir! I obey your command!"

Although he didn't know Liu Jun's specific identity, but since he could mobilize the guards, he must be a big shot in the God King City. Killing him would be as easy as killing an ant, so there was nothing wrong with calling him 'sir'.

Liu Jun looked at the captain of the imperial guards and ordered, "Send a few imperial guards to cooperate with them to ensure that the city gate is blocked without any mistakes. The main reason is that Chu Nanchang has too few people under his command. I am worried that they will not be able to block the city gate."

Upon hearing this, the captain of the imperial guard immediately took orders and quickly mobilized several capable guards to assist Chu Nanchang.

At this time, Hezhou City was in chaos because the city lord Mo Huaiyuan and others were arrested.

The main reason is that Mo Huaiyuan's faction has been operating here for too long. From the city lord to the soldiers, there are so many people who are like-minded. If the biggest one falls, how can these small ones not panic?
