Are you crazy? The marriage robbery happened to my young master of the imperial family

Because of the outbreak of the monster tide, ordinary people from many surrounding towns flocked into Hanyang City.

The entire Hanyang city became overcrowded.

There were guards everywhere maintaining order and checking the identities of passers-by.

Thanks to his status as a prince, Xuan Jing had a smooth journey and arrived at the City Lord's Mansion without any obstacles.

The guards of the City Lord's Mansion did not dare to be negligent in the slightest when they saw his identity as the prince of the Xuanwu Empire.

"Your Highness the Thirteenth Prince, the Lord of the Ancient City is in the lobby."

A guard respectfully led Xuan Jing the way.

Walk into the lobby.

Xuan Jing saw Gu Zhencang sitting in the main seat at a glance.

Gu Zhencang's hair was slightly gray, and there were more wrinkles on his face than the last time he entered the palace to meet the emperor. His eye sockets were sunken, and there was a faint dark blue under his eyes.

Obviously, he didn't get a good rest during this period because of the monster tide.

At this moment, Gu Zhencang was checking the information sent by various groups and carefully analyzing the current situation.

Xuan Jing thought to himself that if he could ask Gu Zhencang to deal with Jun Lintian, it would be a sure thing.

"Lord Gu." Xuan Jing greeted him and sat on the chair next to him.

Gu Zhencang did not show too much respect towards Xuan Jing.

He raised his eyelids slightly, "What's the matter, Thirteenth Prince?"

Although he is the lord of Hanyang City, he is not essentially affiliated with the court of the Xuanwu Empire.

If he met Emperor Wu, he would have some respect for him. A prince was not worthy of his seriousness.

"This……"

Xuan Jing did not rush to state his purpose, but subconsciously glanced at the guards around him.

How could Gu Zhencang not know Xuan Jing's thoughts? He frowned and said, "Thirteenth Prince, just say whatever you want to say. There are no secrets in my City Lord's Mansion."

There was a hint of displeasure in these words, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with Xuan Jing's little action.

In fact, if it weren’t for Xuan Jing’s status as a prince, Gu Zhencang would never have been able to meet him at this critical juncture.

After all, the monster tide was getting more and more fierce. He hadn't slept at all recently. Even when he was eating, he was thinking about how to save Hanyang City.

He only took the time to meet Xuan Jing out of respect for Emperor Wu.

Yesterday, Xuan Jing came to the City Lord's Mansion, but Gu Zhencang did not see him even though he was here, just to let him know when to advance and retreat, and not to come to him for trivial matters.

As soon as Xuan Jing saw Gu Zhencang's attitude, he felt a little uneasy.

But he still said, "This prince wants to ask the ancient city master for something."

"Can you please just say what you want to say?" Gu Zhencang rubbed his temple, his tone sounding a little tired.

"After I finish dealing with these matters, I still have to lead my troops to resist the monster tide. I really don't have time to chat with Your Highness."

I really don't know how these people in the court developed such a character. Is there anything they can't just say directly?
Xuan Jing took a deep breath and got straight to the point: "This prince would like to ask the Lord of Ancient City to deal with Jun Lintian."

"According to this prince's speculation, Jun Lintian must be protected by experts. If it weren't for the mid-stage Quasi-Emperor like the Ancient City Lord, it would be difficult to take him down."

Xuan Jing talked to himself, but Gu Zhencang's brows furrowed even more tightly.

At this time, Xuan Jing continued, "In addition, Jun Lintian offended my father in Xuanwu City. If the Lord of Gu City can get rid of Jun Lintian, my father will definitely be very pleased. At that time..."

"Enough!" Gu Zhencang's face darkened and he interrupted Xuan Jing directly.

He looked at Xuan Jing coldly: "Did the Thirteenth Prince come to this city lord to talk about these things?"

"With the monsters raging right now, this city lord doesn't have the time to do these childish tricks."

"This city lord is at least a mid-stage quasi-emperor expert, not a thug from your Xuanwu Empire!"

These words were extremely serious, and Xuan Jing's face instantly turned red. He was almost going crazy in his heart.

What exactly is going on?

Why has he been running into obstacles everywhere these past two days? Even Gu Zhencang was so rude to him.

Gu Zhencang was even more disdainful in his heart. He was only serving as the city lord here out of admiration for Emperor Wu.

Otherwise, with his cultivation level of a mid-stage quasi-emperor, he would be a guest of honor wherever he went.

Now, a prince with only a weak cultivation base actually wants him to deal with a junior?
Gu Zhencang said directly in a cold voice: "If you want to deal with the young master of the Jun family, do it yourself. The Emperor Wu has issued an order before that no one is allowed to cause trouble for Jun Lintian."

"So this city lord will definitely not help you with this matter."

"in addition……"

Gu Zhencang's expression suddenly became colder and his tone became serious.

"This city lord submitted a memorial to the court half a month ago, requesting the court to send reinforcements. Why is there still no news?"

Xuan Jing was also very unhappy, but facing a mid-stage quasi-emperor master like Gu Zhencang, he did not dare to show any anger.

"Lord Gu." He could only say with a smile: "Didn't the emperor already send this prince and three hundred guards here?"

Unexpectedly, Gu Zhencang sneered and mocked: "Just you? A prince in the early stage of the Divine Bridge Realm, plus a few hundred guards in the Wheel Sea Realm, are not enough to fill the teeth of the monster!"

"What happened at the court? Why haven't reinforcements been sent yet?"

When Xuan Jing heard this, his face became even more embarrassed.

Of course he knew the reason.

Because now the three cities of Wuyang City, Suyang City and Xuanyang City have been given to the Jun family, in order to prevent the Jun family from further encroaching on the Xuanwu Empire.

Therefore, most of the Xuanwu Empire’s troops were transferred to the vicinity of Wuyang City.

In addition, Emperor Wu also dispatched additional troops to guard the border with the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After all, we have to guard against the Great Zhou Dynasty taking advantage of the situation.

In short, the Xuanwu Empire’s court now has no extra troops to reinforce Hanyang City.

But how could Xuan Jing possibly say these words?

In fact, he also knew what his father meant. The tide of monsters in the north was just a small matter. He could just let Gu Zhencang lead the troops of Hanyang City to guard it alone.

So what Xuan Jing needs to do now is to stabilize Gu Zhencang.

"This... troop mobilization is a major military and national issue. I'm afraid we need to think about it carefully."

Xuan Jing had no choice but to speak.

"Let's take a long-term view?" Gu Zhencang sneered again: "This city lord thinks you have the time to deal with a young master of the Jun family."

"If you were willing to put this effort into resisting the monster tide, perhaps the imperial court's reinforcements would have arrived long ago."

Xuan Jing was speechless and his face was burning with anger.

But he didn't dare to contradict Gu Zhencang, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart and stand up.

"As the ancient city lord is teaching, this prince will not bother you anymore."

"Farewell!"

--------

Hanyang City was not quiet for a few days.

After Jun Lintian had in-depth exchanges with Yingnu in the mansion for a few days, he heard the guards report that the outskirts of Hanshui County near Hanyang City were full of monsters and many cultivators were heading there.

"That's interesting."

He raised a wicked smile and prepared to take Yingnu and Xu Miaoyin to take a look. (End of this chapter)
