Little Meng City was norapped in chaos Many of the people in the city didn’t knohat had happened, and were gathering on the streets, trying to figure out as going on While most people were filled orry and trepidation, Wu Qi was dancing with joy as he led the rest of the City Guards, and over two thousand over new recruits, out toany people to stay on the street

The chaotic scene in the Mayor’s Mansion lasted for nearly fifteen minutes before the ures sprinted out fro frouards, and relatives still had soether it was quite a huge sue and odd rus had their minds dulled by previous events, so no one came out and clarified these ruht-hand uards they hired Rumors could mess with one’s decisions easily, therefore, all of the over three thousand guards within the Mayor’s Mansion cauards went on strike, setting fire to the Mayor’s Mansion, and robbing everything owned by those people ere close to Yi Yan, and kidnapping a few hundred beautiful servant ladies from within the Mansion Then they opened up the front door of Mayor Mansion and sneaked out into Little Meng City

Little Meng City was a land of anarchy There were no other cities within a few hundred do Mountain produced a lot of precious products, not even a stray dog would want to be here Because of this, the only people who ca to risk their lives for a profit, those rogue barbarian hunters ere dancing on the edge of death, or outlaho had nowhere else they could go

Since Yi Yan and his brothers cauards to protect the City were actually those rogue barbarian hunters and cruel outlaws

These men were like a pack of bloodthirsty wolves When Yi Yan could feed them, they would put their lives on the line for hier support these people they would turn their heads and bite at hiuys now struck out without thinking twice They took away all theCity without any feeling of guilt

Wu Qi was giving orders to the City Guards and keeping order in Little Meng City, but they only focused on the civilians and traders, avoiding any conflict with those guards who had betrayed their , and Wu Qi’s soldiers had no way to defeat them Also, there’s no reason for Wu Qi to stand in their way because he was not so kind hearted to sacrifice hisalong thebig or s the street and disappearing into the dark

With a wave of his hand, ten bronze ‘knife coins’ [1] were thrown beside Yi Yan The ‘kind-hearted’ Wu Qi looked at a few of the servants standing beside Yi Yan They had pale faces as they stood there, shocked, “I thought you guysout of money to hire a physician, so here, this is soe, I presume you need it as you are out of money?”
