Mythical Three Kingdoms: Martial Arts Reach Divine Ranks, I Alone Rule the World

Luodu East Gate.

Zhang Mu looked at the guard who approached respectfully, saying he was willing to obey his orders and serve him...

He glanced at the long line of people waiting to be inspected on the other side before laughing, "You haven't even verified whether my town general's token is real or fake. Aren't you afraid I stole it?"

The guards were taken aback by what Zhang Mu said.

The other guards on duty at the east gate were so shocked that their expressions changed drastically, and they instinctively gripped their long spears tightly.

"Don't move!"

The guards in front of Zhang Mu gave a soft shout, stopping their comrades' overreaction.

A hint of ingratiation appeared on his face.

"hehe!"

"General, you are joking. Who would dare to steal such a token?"

"Besides..."

The guard abruptly changed the subject.

He said in a light tone, "Even if you stole it, that's still your skill, isn't it?"

"A strongman like you."

"Why would they lower themselves to the level of nobodies like me?"

As he spoke.

The guard took down the garrison commander's token that was floating in front of him and thoughtfully tied it back to the brocade belt around Zhang Mu's waist.

"What are you guys standing there for!"

"Temporarily halt the procession of civilians entering the city, and respectfully invite this General of Yanmen Town to enter!"

Without turning his head, the guard gave orders to his comrades behind him.

Upon hearing what he said...

The other guards at the East Gate, who had previously been wary of Zhang Mu because of his joking remark, breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that they didn't start fighting.

Although they were just the most inconspicuous people among the guards at the city gates of Luodu, their eyes were not blind.

The scene that just happened before my eyes—the general from Yanmen Town descending from the sky with a beautiful woman…

They saw it all clearly.

They really don't want to face such a formidable opponent.

after all.

The military funds allocated to them by the Luodu Imperial Court were barely enough for them to support their entire families in Luodu City.

If they die here today...

Their families are going to have a tough time from now on.

Yes.

The other guards were very enthusiastic about stopping civilians from entering the city and making things much easier for Zhang Mu.

Not long after.

A large open space was cleared in front of the city gate.

The long queue of people was kept far away from the open space.

The guards who were shouting stood at the front of the crowd of people, staring at them with hostility.

They were afraid that Zhang Mu would be dissatisfied with their cutting in line and would then foolishly run out and clash with him, thus courting death.

They were wary of Zhang Mu's strength and status...

but.

For these ordinary people...

Ah!

They weren't afraid of the long spears in their hands at all.

Saintess Zhang Ning noticed the people who, under the guards' shouts, remained obediently in place, looking at the spot where she and Zhang Mu stood with expressions of awe...

Her delicate nose wrinkled slightly.

In her heart, she felt an ever-growing loathing for the guards before her and for the Han imperial court behind them.

Father is right.

This corrupt imperial court, which is unpopular and degenerate, should not continue to exist.

Even Zhang Ning noticed the smallest details.

How could Zhang Mu not see it?

Unfortunately.

Although he disapproved of the actions of the guards at the East Gate of Luodu, he was, unfortunately, a beneficiary of their current atrocities.

If he were to display his likes, dislikes, and hatreds on his face like Zhang Ning did, and reprimand the guards before him...

What's the difference between that and "standing up and standing down at the same time"?

Even in the harmonious world he lived in his previous life, there were millions of city officials who did nothing but cause trouble.

Furthermore.

Compared to the reactions of the common people, Zhang Mu was extremely interested in the guards who were closest to him.

He noticed that.

Just moments ago, when Zhang Ning wrinkled his nose in displeasure, the guard in front of him narrowed his eyes and looked sadly at the back of the man in the distance.

undoubtedly.

Skilled at reading people, he realized that the actions of his comrades had aroused the dissatisfaction of the noblewoman who was traveling with the town general.

"My lord, look..."

The guard spoke, looking expectantly at Zhang Mu.

He only hoped that Zhang Mu would enter the city quickly and not bother with them.

however.

To his surprise...

"What's your name?"

Zhang Mu suddenly spoke.

"I?"

The guards hadn't expected Zhang Mu to be interested in his name.

He first looked behind and to both sides to make sure no one was there, then pointed to himself with an incredulous expression.

Zhang Mu smiled without saying a word, simply observing the man quietly.

Seeing Zhang Mu act this way...

The guard immediately replied, "Reporting to the garrison commander."

"My surname is Ji, my given name is Yuan, and my courtesy name is Boda!"

Ji Yuan?

Ji Boda?

Upon hearing the name announced by the guard, Zhang Mu's expression turned somewhat strange.

His gaze swept over half of the man's body almost imperceptibly.

That name... is so domineering.

"Ji Boda, is that it? I'll remember that!"

"Tomorrow at noon."

"Come see me at the Red Mansion in the south of the city; there are some matters to attend to in this town..."

Zhang Mu paused for a moment, then stared at the guard Ji Yuan and said, "I need you to do it!"

The words were spoken.

Zhang Mu took Zhang Ning's hand and, with his literary energy surging around him, the two of them flashed into the city and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Stay where you are.

Only a group of civilians and other city gate guards who looked at the guard Ji Yuan with envy remained.

The other guards couldn't help but feel envious.

Through Zhang Mu's words, how could they not realize that their comrade-in-arms was about to soar to great heights?

Gaining the favor of a powerful town general, even the slightest favor from them, is far better than guarding the city gate every day.

If I could be taken in as a personal guard by the garrison commander...

hiss!

OK!OK!

"Ji Boda, if it were you, you would stand guard at the entrance of that brothel tonight, and you certainly wouldn't wait until tomorrow morning!"

"Old Ji, if you become rich and powerful, don't forget me."

"If you ever achieve great success in the future, don't forget your old brothers who were always laughing and joking!"

"Hold a banquet! We absolutely must have a banquet tonight! Why don't I have the same good fortune as you, Ji Boda!"

"..."

Hearing his comrades teasing him, the guard Ji Yuan rolled his eyes.

Suppressing his excitement, he replied with a laugh and a scolding tone, "Be serious, all of you."

"Quickly release the people and let them pass through as soon as possible."

"otherwise."

"Forget about having a banquet tonight, you won't even get a chance to smell his stinky fart."

When the guard Ji Yuan said this, it immediately drew a barrage of condemnation and ridicule.

……

We entered the east gate of Luodu.

Zhang Mu walked along the wide bluestone road, which was even longer than a football field in his previous life, and secretly observed the changes that had taken place in Luodu since his last visit.

"Brother Mu, was that guard unusual?"

"He's actually worthy of your high regard!"

"Hmm?" Zhang Mu turned his head to look at Zhang Ning, who had asked the question, and stopped walking.

"Ning'er, even small people have their own wisdom."

"Hehe, don't be disgusted by their rudeness to the common people in order to please me."

"Didn't you notice...?"

Zhang Mu reached out and smoothed the strands of hair from Zhang Ning's forehead, chuckling softly, "That Ji Boda seems to fawn over me, trying to please me, appearing utterly humble in front of us..."

"But in his heart, your Mu-ge'er didn't seem afraid at all."

"Such insignificant people may now be obscured and forgotten."

"but."

"Who can say for sure that he won't have some good fortune in the future?"

There was something Zhang Mu was too embarrassed to say to Zhang Ningming.

If his previous attention to Ji Yuan...

However, his extraordinary performance aroused Zhang Mu's sudden interest and attention.

So.

From the moment Ji Yuan announced his name...

What Zhang Mu was interested in was the man's kidney.

The name Ji Boda...

If it truly lives up to its name.

Placed in the previous dynasty.

There was a two-character name, called... Marquis Changxin of the Great Qin.

Seeing that the Holy Maiden Zhang Ning looked enlightened after hearing his explanation, Zhang Mu smiled and said, "We don't need to worry about Ji Boda anymore."

"Ning'er, quickly sense it..."

"Where is your old Taoist priest father in the city now?"

The dense array of magic formations within Luodu City not only prohibits high-altitude flight but also greatly hinders and weakens the detection range of divine consciousness.

If such restrictions were not imposed...

Ha ha.

To those with powerful cultivation, the petty things that happened in the capital city at night were no different from a live online broadcast.

In addition, Zhang Jiao was elusive and adept at concealing his presence.

Without special means and pre-arranged contact methods...

Even someone as strong as Zhang Mu.

Finding someone in the vast city of Luodu is like finding a needle in a haystack.
