When the sentries guarding the Ping City main gate saw Ji Fengyan and the others approaching, they were slightly taken aback but immediately came forward.
“Who are you?” The sentries guarding the city looked in shock at the troop of people. From their armor, the sentries could guess that they were from the army.
Linghe stepped forward to exin their origins. He pointed to the brothers, Han Xiao and Han Yu, and spoke a few words to the sentries guarding the city.
The sentries were very surprised, and looked at Ji Fengyan and the others in shock before hastily dispatching someone to carry a message into the city.
Linghe walked back to Ji Fengyan’s side and said, “Miss, I’ve rified matters with them, but... they need to inform the City Lord first.”
Ji Fengyan nodded slightly. She did not me the Ping City soldiers for their surprise. She could imagine that many refugees hade to Ping City in recent times, but... they had probably not encountered any refugees who needed such a crowd, and even the regr armed forces, to personally escort them.
After a while, the sentry who had gone to pass on the news hurried back.
“The City Lord respectfully invites everyone from the Wolf Smoke Regiment to enter the city.” The sentry said.
Ji Fengyan nodded slightly. She had originally intended to let Linghe hand Han Xiao and Han Yu over to the Ping City soldiers while she continued to investigate matters rted to the Demon n. However...
Sensing that they were about to be handed over, the brothers Han Xiao and Han Yu immediately fixed their eyes on Ji Fengyan. Their expression was full of unease and terror, even a trace of... pleading.
Ji Fengyan was slightly taken back. She did not know whether tough or to cry.
Did these two silly kids really think she was their savior?
However, facing their piteous looks, Ji Fengyan just could not harden her heart. Intending to see the matter to its conclusion, she decided to personally hand the two children over to the City Lord and ask the City Lord for news of the Demon n in the area, before making ns.
“Then I shall have to trouble you,” Ji Fengyan said with augh.
The two children let out an obvious sigh of relief at Ji Fengyan’s words.
Ji Fengyan increasingly felt unable to eitherugh or cry. She had no choice but to follow the sentry and enter Ping City with everyone else.
They met a peaceful scene within Ping City. Throngs of people hurried back and forth along the city streets while the road-side hawkers enthusiastically shouted their wares. It looked peaceful andfortable. If not for their recent tragic experience in the vige massacred by demons, no one would have guessed that the peaceful Ping City was in the same area as the massacred vige.
Further, when Ji Fengyan led over a hundred tall, armored soldiers into Ping City, they immediately created arge stir. All the citizens on the street stopped whatever they were doing as their gaze swept towards Ji Fengyan and the others. Their expressions were full of shock, and even some agitation.
No one knew why a group of soldiers had suddenly appeared in the city.
Linghe had noticed the citizens’ unrest and lowered his voice to say, “Ahem... actually... Miss, you should just bring them into the city yourself.”
In any case, these children were only unwilling to bid farewell to Ji Fengyan. It did not matter whether the rest of them came along.
Ji Fengyan could not help butugh and shake her head. Her gaze swept over the scene on the streets. Such a peaceful andfortable city could be found anywhere within the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon. However, it appeared especially rare andmendable here, amidst the turmoil of the in of Corpses.
In a moment, the sentry had led Ji Fengyan and the others to the main gate of the City Lord’s residence, which was already open. There stood a middle-aged man with intense eyes, who was graying at the temples.
