<strong>Attack On Wuling City (1)</strong>


    After the ident in Ziqing Sacred Land, Wuling City entered a state of internal tension and external performance.


    On the surface, Wuling City seemed to be in good order, but in fact, it stepped up patrols in private and equipped the guards of the City Lord Mansion with a full set of city defense equipment to guard against enemies that might appear at any time.


    As Feng Shao’s eldest disciple and adopted daughter, Feng Lingxue became the temporary captain of the guards of the City Lord Mansion. She would patrol around with guards every day, almost non-stop, monitoring the entire Wuling City.


    Outside Wuling City, several outposts were set up, the farthest of which could be hundreds of miles away, to check and find out all the people entering the city and prevent any infiltration of external forces.


    It can be said that the current situation of Wuling City can be described as “acting to face a big enemy.”


    Although the others were unclear whether there would be enemies, Dai Zhixin was confident that there would definitely be enemies, it just depends on how many there would be.


    Dai Zhixin often expresses some strange opinions, but she can hit the mark every time. Therefore, the officials of Wuling City trusted Dai Zhixin very much, and these days they never rxed their surveince inside and outside the city.


    Even so, idents still happen.On this day, Feng Lingxue led people to patrol around Wuling City as usual. When patrolling to the east city gate, Feng Lingxue also checked the city defense as usual and prepared to leave only after confirming everything was correct.


    At the same time, a medium-sized caravan is being inspected and ready to enter the city.


    After a while, the inspection was over, and the caravan filed in.


    But when the caravan walked past Feng Lingxue, Feng Lingxue’s heart skipped a beat suddenly, with an inexplicably ominous premonition.


    She immediately cast her eyes on the caravan and shouted, “Stop!”


    The caravan stopped again.


    The leading businessman quickly got out of the carriage, trotted up to Feng Lingxue, and asked with an apologetic smile, “Young miss, do you have any questions?”


    Feng Lingxue looked at the businessman in front of her up and down. He was wearing a vest and a melon skin hat, with a big belly and a fleshy face that was almost squeezed into a ball, and others could barely see his eyes.


    He rubbed his hands together, seeming a little nervous.


    But this is not surprising, any caravan will inevitably be a little nervous when facing the city defense guards.


    There was nothing unusual about this person, just a very ordinary businessman, but Feng Lingxue always felt that something was wrong. She nced at the caravan, pondered for a while, and said, “Let your guards also be checked.”


    “This…” The businessman suddenly looked embarrassed.


    Feng Lingxue asked, “What? Is there any problem?”


    The businessman smiled bitterly and said, “To tell you the truth, this guard is not directly under thepany, but hired temporarily.


    Thispany has cooperated with them many times, and there has never been any problem.


    And thispany, I really have no right to order them to do other things, I hope the young miss will forgive me.”


    Feng Lingxue smiled lightly, “It’s just to let them ept the inspection, it’s not a big deal, why not? Or is there something wrong with them?”


    The merchant looked embarrassed, and after hesitating for a while, he had no choice but to turn around and discuss with the leader of the guards.


    After a while, the merchant trotted back again, and smiled at Feng Lingxue, “Young miss, we have already discussed. They can ept the inspection, but there is one condition.”


    “What conditions?” Feng Lingxue asked.


    “Their condition is that Wuling City must makepensation for this,” The businessman said helplessly.


    “Oh? Compensation?” Feng Lingxue said with a yful face, “I never knew I needed to provide some kind ofpensation for checking people entering our city? In which ce is this a custom?”


    The businessman sighed, “The young miss doesn’t know that the guards hired by caravans must be martial practitioners or cultivators, because only they can deal with most dangers. Big businesses have the ability to gradually cultivate cultivators, but small firms like ours can only hire cultivators from other ces. The young miss should also know that each cultivator’s temper is bigger than the other, and their dignity is more important than life. The young miss wants to inspect them, and they feel that their dignity has been insulted, so they want somepensation.”


    Feng Lingxue nodded and ordered, “So that’s the case, then call them over first!”
