Chapter 1631: Citywide Lockdown
uan asked."Well, if Master thinks this is the best course of action, then so be it." Murong Jian replied weakly.Yuan Sanquan nodded gently and said, "Since you agree... then I'll call them over."Muron...The many black armored soldiers in the courtyard were now also looking grim.
With so many soldiers present to surround them, they didn't stop the other party, and... even didn't know when or how the other party left!
This inevitably left the seasoned soldiers feeling ashamed.
"My lord, even if this man tried to run, he couldn't get far. We should immediately seal off the entire city and dig three feet under the ground to unearth him!" The leading soldier strode before the mayor and declared fiercely.
The mayor's face remained grim. He glanced at the head soldier and said in a cold voice, "Do as you say, put out a city-wide warrant for this man!"
Having said that, he turned his gaze to Nuo Ling, who was still standing in the center of the courtyard, her face pale.
"Also, throw Noling into the dungeon for me!" the city lord said coldly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the surrounding soldiers changed, and they all looked towards Nuo Ling in the center of the courtyard.
This is Lord Mayor's only daughter, Miss Noling... The Lord Mayor actually had them take Miss Noling to the dungeon!
Remember, the dungeon holds only hardened criminals!
All the soldiers in the courtyard stood motionless, just stunned.
Noor looked at her father, her delicate frame trembling uncontrollably, her face ashen.
"Are you defying my orders" the City Lord said with a cold face.
At once, the surrounding soldiers dared not delay any longer.
The chieftain beckoned with his hand, signaling two soldiers to step forward and take Nola captive.
Two soldiers walked towards Norling.
"Help outsiders steal our secrets What a fool!" The City Lord glared at Nora, angrily rebuking her.
Noling trembled all over, tears swirling in her eyes, but she dared not speak.
And the two soldiers didn't dare to be too rough, they only held her shoulders.
"Miss Noling...come with us." a soldier said.
Norling bowed her head and followed the two soldiers out.
At this moment, on the outermost periphery, those familiar servants of Noling's house all had expressions of shock and pity in their eyes.
The Lord of the City was clearly still in a foul mood. They dared not speak, let alone plead for Nuo Ling's forgiveness.
Thus, Nuo Ling was taken out of the City Lord's Mansion and then escorted to the dungeon by two soldiers.
At the same time, a state of martial law was declared by the City Lord's Mansion.
The city gates were closed, and tens of thousands of soldiers patrolled within the city.
Such a large city immediately went into lockdown, with an atmosphere of panic and fear.
Soldiers carrying large posters disguised as propaganda images walked down the streets, asking questions.
……
No one knows that at this very moment, Fang Yu is in the most dangerous place.
Across the street from the City Lord's Mansion, there is an inn, less than a hundred meters away.
Therefore, the scene of Nuoling being taken away was also witnessed by Fang Yu.
"This city lord is far less dignified than he wants to appear. I tricked him, slapped him in the face... and he vented his anger on his own daughter." Fang Yu shook his head, a sneer spreading across his face.
The map was given to Noling personally by the City Lord. At that time, he had already harbored suspicions and must have had a plan, believing that even if Fang Yu obtained the map, he would be unable to leave.
Unexpectedly, Fang Yu not only obtained the map but also left effortlessly.
This made him feel incredibly embarrassed.
After all, due to his extreme confidence, he gave away the real map.
...and he could have, originally… just arrested them without handing over the map!
...it was all a ploy to catch them red-handed, to have witnesses on the spot, or perhaps to show off his uncanny foresight. In any case, under some unseen force, the city lord handed over the real map! ...
If Fang Yu truly is a spy for the enemy, the map he handed over... could have extremely serious consequences.
Therefore, the city lord would be exceptionally angry and vent his rage upon Noling.
"Good sir, this map only shows twelve cities, indicating a relatively small area," Chen Qianyuan said.
"Yes, this is a map of the western territories of the Shadow Clan." Fang Yu turned around and said.
"This map is way too rudimentary, and all these words on it are unique to the Shadow Clan. We can't understand them at all," Chen Qianyuan said.
"Then we should find a Shadow Clan member to translate," Fang Yu said.
"Your taking the map should be common knowledge throughout the city by now, there's no one to translate it." Tianji Daoist said.
"Well then... I guess we'll just have to find a professional translator." Fang Yu replied.
"A specialist" Both Tianjidao and Chen Qian'an were taken aback.
Fang Yu smiled slightly and said, "I'm going to bring someone back from the dungeon."
……
The dungeon is located at the edge of town.
The surface level of the dungeon is also a large prison, but it holds only minor offenders.
...while the dungeons below held a variety of hardened criminals. ...
Before being escorted to the prison, Nuo Ling looked at the dim and gloomy jail in front of him, his face pale.
The soldiers beside him couldn't bear to look. "Are we really going to lock Miss Norling in the dungeon" one said, his voice trailing off. "It's… well…"
Another soldier sighed and said, "The city lord has given the order himself. Who dares to disobey"
"Miss Norling, don't worry too much. You're different from those repeat offenders. Once the Lord Mayor cools down, he should release you soon."
Noelle bit her lip, saying nothing.
This prison was heavily guarded on all sides, with over a thousand black-armored soldiers standing watch.
Two soldiers, with Nolring in tow, were about to deliver her to the entrance of the dungeon.
Just then, a howling sound suddenly came from the sky.
""
Many guards at the prison, along with the two soldiers escorting Nola, all looked up to where the voice came from.
Just then, they only felt a blackness before their eyes, as if they were blind, losing all sight.
This state lasted for about two seconds and then quickly returned to normal.
At this moment, the two soldiers looked down and found that the Norling between them had vanished!
"Little, Miss is gone! She was taken away!"
The soldier's face was ashen, and he shouted.
The shout roused all the guards in the prison.
……
"Bang!"
Upon hearing that Nuo Ling had been abducted before entering the dungeon, the city lord was so enraged that he smashed the table in front of him to pieces!
He stood up abruptly, his face contorted with anger, his eyes blazing with fury.
"How is this possible! How is this possible! He completely disregards my No River!" A wave of gray mist emanated from the City Lord's body, his aura intensely powerful.
The entire hall was shaking!
"Sir, please don't be angry. The other party must have come from an enemy camp, prepared in advance, and with multiple plans. Now that the city is sealed, finding them is just a matter of time..." A man with a mustache stepped forward quickly, clasped his fists and said.
"I will not only find them, but I will personally, in public, execute them!" No Jiang roared, "Bring me my armor and sword!"
……
Inside the inn.
"No Ling, it seems your father found out. He's quite angry, his aura is completely different from before." Fang Yu stood by the window, looking at the City Lord's Mansion opposite him, and smiled.
At this moment, Noling was trembling violently all over. There was no way she could speak.
It's fine that I was forcibly taken away, but the place where I ended up is just across from the city lord's mansion, in a guesthouse less than a hundred meters away!. "If you're going to bring the competition up, then I'm going to take it seriously.""It's already started." Fang Yu said lightly."Boom..."At this moment, Bao Lei, who was still on the spinning stage,...
