Chapter 216 The Tu Emperor
Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Liu's face suddenly showed a trace of suspicion. He stared at Yun Muheng and looked him up and down, as if he still couldn't believe that the man in front of him was the legendary King Yun Xin.
After a long while, he hesitantly asked softly, "Are you...really the renowned King Yun Xin?"
Facing County Magistrate Liu's questioning, Yun Muheng simply raised his head slightly and replied proudly, "Yes, it is this king!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene suddenly fell into deathly silence.
However, unexpectedly, after a brief silence, County Magistrate Liu suddenly burst into deafening laughter without any scruples, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
The laughter resounded through the sky and echoed throughout the entire street, even making him laugh so hard that he fell forward and backward, and tears couldn't stop flowing out.
A moment later, County Magistrate Liu raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a contemptuous smile, and stared at Yun Muheng with a condescending and disdainful look.
He said sarcastically, "Humph! Just now, that group of ignorant lowly people were talking nonsense, saying that they were eagerly waiting for King Yunxin to come and save them from the dire situation.
But now, a guy has appeared with such audacity, claiming to be the King of Yunxin. Do you really think I am as easy to fool as a three-year-old child? "
Then, a hint of sarcasm appeared on County Magistrate Liu's face again: "I'm telling you, if you want to impersonate someone, why don't you pick a more reliable character, but choose such an extremely noble figure as Prince Yunxin.
What is the status of Prince Yunxin? He is a high-ranking figure with great power and influence. How could he condescend to come to our remote and desolate place?
Do you really think that just anyone can impersonate King Yun Xin? What a foolish dream!
If you can be considered the Prince of Yunxin, then this county magistrate can openly declare himself the current emperor! Hahahahaha..."
After saying this, County Magistrate Liu turned to look at a yamen runner beside him with a playful look on his face, and deliberately raised his voice and asked, "Hey, do you believe it?"
Upon seeing this, the yamen runner hurriedly nodded and bowed, responding with a flattering face, "I believe it, of course I believe it! My lord, you are wise and powerful, and you are the well-deserved local emperor in our Muyang County. Who here dares not obey your orders?
Even if the king of heaven came, he would have to give you some face!"
After hearing these flattering words, County Magistrate Liu was immediately overjoyed and became even more complacent. He once again turned his gaze to Yun Muheng and shouted arrogantly, "What do you think, little brat? Now you finally believe it, right?
In Muyang County, I am the ruler of this land. If you attempt to help those lowly commoners, I'm afraid you will never get away with it in front of this county magistrate!"
At this time, a guard strode forward. His eyes were as sharp as torches, staring at County Magistrate Liu intently, and a chilling aura emanated from his whole body.
The guard said in a voice so cold it seemed to freeze the air: "Humph! How dare you, a mere county magistrate who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, speak so brazenly to Prince Yun Xin! Don't you know your own limitations?
You haven't even considered how many lives you need to calm the wrath of King Yun Xin!"
Facing the guards' angry rebuke, County Magistrate Liu only showed a hint of impatience on his face.
He curled his lips and responded nonchalantly, "Yo! I say, are you guys going to stop? Just play your part, don't waste my precious time!"
"Get as far away from me as you can. I don't have time to mess around with you. You should think carefully about how many lives you have to sacrifice before I can calm down!"
After saying this, County Magistrate Liu suddenly waved his hand and shouted to the group of yamen runners holding sticks behind him: "Listen up, everyone! Action! Take down all these ignorant bastards!"
Ye Xiaotuan, who was standing aside, hugged Yun Muheng's neck tightly, sighed helplessly, and muttered softly: "Look, people don't believe you at all. Sigh... You are such a failure as a prince!"
Hearing this, Yun Muheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer: "Haha, yes! This king is indeed a failure.
But, just based on these few insignificant little characters, I don't even take them seriously!"
Before he finished speaking, Yun Muheng put Ye Xiaotuan in his arms steadily on the ground.
Then, he turned around and sternly instructed a guard beside him, "Be sure to protect the little dumpling well. No mistakes can be made!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone saw Yun Muheng's sharp eyes like a hawk quickly glance at the group of yamen runners who were approaching them rapidly.
Immediately afterwards, he appeared in a flash, and like a ghost, he teleported to the side of the yamen runners at an astonishing speed.
In a flash, Yun Muheng suddenly reached out and snatched the long knife from the hand of the yamen runner closest to him.
He raised his sword and chopped down the yamen runners without hesitation, with precise and ruthless movements.
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere and wailing sounds rang out one after another.
At the same time, except for the guard who had been guarding Ye Xiaotuan, the other companions exchanged glances with each other, and then rushed into the chaotic battle without hesitation like arrows.
County Magistrate Liu, who was standing not far away and watching all this, couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart when he saw these people displaying such superb, sharp and terrifying skills, and suddenly felt panic-stricken and at a loss.
Could it be that... these people were really sent by the imperial court? Otherwise, why hadn't I seen them before?
But if they really are from the imperial court, then I'm afraid I won't be able to escape this time!
Thinking of this, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down County Magistrate Liu's forehead and his face turned extremely pale.
At this moment, a sinister and vicious look suddenly flashed across County Magistrate Liu's eyes.
He gritted his teeth secretly and muttered to himself viciously, "Humph! Regardless of whether they are sent by the imperial court or not, now that they have already set foot here and know the true intentions of this county magistrate, we must not leave any of them alive!
Even if it means a fight to the death, I must kill all of these guys here, otherwise I will undoubtedly be the next one to die! "
