Allure of a Country Maiden-Chapter 829 - 827_1

Shangguan Xuanyi indifferently said to Yang Mei, as if no one else was present: "You go first with the innkeeper."

Yang Mei shook her head at the sight of so many soldiers: "Master, you go first with the young lady."

Shangguan Xuanyi cast a cold glance at Yang Mei: "I don’t want to say the same thing twice."

The leading man snorted upon hearing this, waving his big sword: "You killed someone and yet you still want to escape! Did you ask my big sword first?"

Shangguan Xuanyi and Yang Mei didn’t even look at him.

"Yes." Yang Mei didn’t dare to object again, she quickly bowed, ran to the bed, hoisted the innkeeper on her shoulder and jumped out of the window.

This was outrageous, these people were simply ignoring them! Were they treating these soldiers like air?

"Hurry up and chase, we can’t let that old woman take the man away! They must be trying to destroy the evidence!" The leading man pointed at the escaping Yang Mei in a fit of anger.

Xiao’er silently praised the man’s imagination when she heard the words about destroying the evidence.

The soldiers at the front immediately ran out to chase Yang Mei.

"Why are you all standing still! Hurry up and catch them! What’s happened to the law when someone dares to kill and run away in broad daylight!" The leading figure was utterly angered by the refusal of a large group of soldiers to advance due to a single menacing look from Shangguan Xuanyi.

Were they really afraid of these two people with so many soldiers?

The soldiers, on hearing this, moved forward with their swords once again.

Shangguan Xuanyi glanced at them coldly, then calmly said: "There’s no need to arrest them! Take me to your superior."

Shangguan Xuanyi took hold of Xiao’er’s hand, and moved to leave.

The soldiers were left in awe by Shangguan Xuanyi’s air of authority, upon leaving they parted way.

Passing by the leading man, Xiao’er couldn’t help but kindly remind him: "You got it wrong earlier, it’s not ’broad daylight’, it’s ’darkest night’!"

What are you talking about? The leading man was completely baffled.

Shangguan Xuanyi led Xiao’er out of the inn. The soldiers hadn’t yet recovered from the awe that Shangguan Xuanyi had deliberately displayed. As he turned around, his predatory gaze fell onto the man in charge: "Still not leading the way!"

Shangguan Xuanyi just stood there looking at him, with an air of untold nobility, supreme authority, unmatched dignity and a sense of superiority that made one subconsciously bow before him.

The leading man instinctively replied: "Yes!"

Xiao’er couldn’t help but cover her face for him! Did he get intimidated just like that? How weak!

The leading man suddenly realised what he just said, his dark face instantly turned red, but fortunately, his skin was too dark and it was night, so no one could see it.

Steadying himself, he thumped his sword on a nearby table, splitting it in two: "Damn it, even a murderer dares to act tough in front of me! Take them away!"

The soldiers surrounded Xiao’er and Shangguan Xuanyi, but they didn’t dare to arrest them.

After saying this, the leading man left. As he passed by the two of them, he instinctively quickened his pace, then barked out an order: "Take them away!"

Shangguan Xuanyi followed with Xiao’er. He wanted to see how they were planning to frame him.

The soldiers dared not approach Shangguan Xuanyi, for his air was too intimidating. But Xiao’er was different; a weak woman, exceptionally beautiful, someone extended a hand to grab her.

However, before his hand could touch Xiao’er’s clothes, Shangguan Xuanyi made a slight move. Everyone saw a flash of sword light, then a palm fell to the ground.

The man who reached out saw his hand on the ground and then looked at his arm that no longer had a palm. Startled, he let out a piercing scream: "Ah!"

The rest of the soldiers backed away and pointed their long spears at Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao’er.

The leading man turned around, immediately noticing the hand on the ground. He managed to suppress the panic in his heart, and said calmly: "Didn’t you pick it up and go find Doctor Jin to get it reattached!"

The slow-reacting man finally understood, quickly picked up his own hand, and ran off to find the doctor!

The fear of having no palm made him completely forget the pain of having his palm severed!

After the man had left, the leading man turned to Shangguan Xuanyi, "Obstructing official business, deliberately injuring soldiers, increasing the severity of the crime!"

"Lead the way!" Shangguan Xuanyi calmly commanded.

"You!" The leading man wanted to say something.

Shangguan Xuanyi looked over sharply, which immediately silenced him.

"I won’t stoop to join an argument with you! You’ll get what you deserve later! Move!" He dropped the threat harshly, using bluster to hide his own cowardice.

The leading man turned around and moved forward, whilst the other soldiers surrounded Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao’er, escorting them towards the Government Office.

Along the way, Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao’er strolled leisurely, while the soldiers, clutching their weapons tightly, looked at them nervously, not daring to move forward.

Fortunately, it was late at night, otherwise, if the people saw them, they would think that some dignitary had come!

However, the people of the town did hear the commotion, but they dared not come out to see what was happening.

The Government Office was quite far from the inn; the group took about one hour to reach there.

It was still a bit of time before dawn when the leading man took them to the outside of the cell.

"Get in! Wait for the official trial!"

Shangguan Xuanyi wanted to know how this official would react! He also wanted to see who was being held in the cells. He walked into the cell with Xiao’er as if entering his own home, without so much as a frown on his face.

The leading man watched Shangguan Xuanyi obediently enter, his mouth twitching slightly, cursing inside his mind that he was just an empty threat.

But recalling the severed palm, he didn’t dare to curse out loud.

Moreover, he had a hunch that these two people were not simple; did they hit a snag this time?

The leading man signaled the jailer hurriedly to open two cells and lock them in.

Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao’er went in immediately.

"Wait, men and women are to be detained separately!" said the jailer.

"Yes, they can’t be locked together, they must be separated!" The leading man immediately echoed.

Shangguan Xuanyi just turned his head and looked at him without speaking.

The leading man immediately shrank back, shaking his hand: "Never mind, let them be locked up together!"

The jailer was a bit confused: did he somehow feel that he was entertaining distinguished guests instead of detaining criminals?

He looked up at Shangguan Xuanyi, and when Shangguan Xuanyi felt his gaze, he glanced down at him. The scornful gaze terrified him, causing him to immediately run out, even forgetting to lock the cell door.

Xiao’er: With this level of courage, how did these people manage to frame, frighten the whole county?

The leading man locked the cell door and ran out in a hurry.

He needed to warn the official that the two men they had caught today were not normal!
