"You!"
Chu Tiannan was enraged by Luo Wu's impudence. He coughed violently and instinctively wanted to attack Luo Wu.
Luo Wu did not avoid the attack. Instead, he smirked and taunted, "Why? Are you going to attack me, County Chief Chu?
Let's give it a try then! "
"Damn it!"
Chu Tiannan's face turned even paler and was filled with rage. Just as he was about to attack, a hand appeared on his shoulder.
"Lin Xiao, don't stop me."
Chu Tiannan frowned when he saw that it was Lin Xiao. He said angrily, "Guang 'an Prefecture has gone too far. If I don't teach them a lesson today, they will think that Jiangchu Prefecture is easy to bully!"
"Enough. Your body is already in such a state. Stop acting tough!"
Lin Xiao glared at Chu Tiannan and whispered to him in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Don't worry. Leave this guy to me."
Even though Luo Wu looked like a dog relying on its master's power, his strength wasn't weak at all. He was even comparable to Chu Tiannan at his peak. If Chu Tiannan rashly made a move against Luo Wu, he would most likely suffer a loss!
Chu Tiannan withdrew his weapon when he heard Lin Xiao's words.
When Luo Wu saw this scene, he could not help but raise his eyebrows. A sinister look flashed across his eyes as he sneered rudely, "County Governor Chu, it looks like your position as County Governor is in vain. You actually let a junior control you?"
Guang 'an Prefecture had sent him here to test the extent of Chu Tiannan's recovery. He was about to succeed in provoking Chu Tiannan into attacking but was stopped halfway. How could he not be angry?
But Chu Tiannan didn't pay him any attention.
Luo Wu was so angry that his expression changed. He glared at Lin Xiao and asked fiercely, "Who are you?
I am talking to County Chief Chu. How dare you interrupt us? "
"How dare you!
Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to my master like that! "
As soon as Luo Wu finished speaking, Yang Jian took a step forward and unleashed the power of a sixth-level Body Integration Realm cultivator. His three-pointed, double-edged saber appeared and went straight for Luo Wu's throat.
"You …"
Sensing Yang Jian's terrifying aura, Luo Wu instinctively wanted to dodge. However, he was horrified to discover that he was unable to move as though he had been imprisoned.
He could only watch as the cold light got closer and closer to him!
Seeing the three pointed, double-edged blade pointed at his throat, Luo Wu felt the aura of death.
The three-eyed man in front of him was not simple!
When Guang 'an Prefecture received the news that Chu Tiannan's poison had been cured, they sent him over. Because he did not use a flying instrument, he spent half a month to reach Jiangchu Prefecture. Therefore, he did not know anything that happened during this period of time. Naturally, he did not know how powerful Yang Jian was.
However, even though he did not know who Yang Jian was, the fear of death made Luo Wu surrender instinctively. "Let's talk this out … Let's talk this out …"
"Are you worthy?"
When Lin Xiao heard this, he raised his eyelids and asked disdainfully.
"You … I …"
Luo Wu's eyes were wide open. He wanted to curse, but the cold light of the three-pointed, double-edged blade was at his throat. He had no choice but to surrender.
After all, his life was more important!
However, he was not an easy person to deal with. He quickly regained his composure and said, "Sir, I don't know who you are, but I have to remind you that I am the Deputy Governor of Guang 'an Prefecture and an official of the imperial court. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to allow your subordinate to point at me like this?"
"Oh?"
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and did not rush to reveal his identity. Instead, he crossed his arms and asked calmly, "You said that you are the Prefectural Minister of Guang 'an Prefecture. Are you the Prefectural Minister?"
"I have a warrant to prove it!"
Luo Wu thought that Lin Xiao was terrified. He raised his chin proudly and took out the warrant. He passed it to Lin Xiao and said angrily, "Can you let me go now?"
"Beat him!"
Lin Xiao took the warrant and flipped through it casually. Suddenly, he changed the topic and ordered.
"Yes."
Yang Jian did not care if Luo Wu was the Deputy Governor of Guang 'an Prefecture. Anyway, if Lin Xiao asked him to beat him, he would beat him. Even if Lin Xiao asked him to kill Luo Wu, he would do it without hesitation.
Luo Wu was brutally beaten by Yang Jian with the hilt of the three-pointed, double-edged sword, rolling on the ground in a sorry state. While rolling on the ground, he scolded, "How dare you beat an official of the imperial court!
Prefectural Governor Chu, don't you care? Is there any law in Jiangchu Prefecture? "
Chu Tiannan stood there without saying a word. The guards of the Prefectural Governor's Residence were gloating over Luo Wu's misfortune.
It was only when Luo Wu was beaten up by Yang Jian that Lin Xiao ordered Yang Jian to stop. At the same time, he walked in front of Luo Wu and stepped on his head. He said coldly, "Since Guang 'an Prefecture is so ill-informed, I will reluctantly inform you today that I, Lin Xiao, am the Prefectural Governor of Jiangchu Prefecture!
In Jiangchu Prefecture, I am the law. Do you understand? "
"This …"
Luo Wu did not expect the young man in front of him to be the Prefectural Governor of Jiangchu Prefecture. He could not believe his ears.
Could it be that Chu Tiannan's injuries had not healed?
Otherwise, why would he give up the position of Prefectural Governor to a young man who was not related to him?
Just as Luo Wu was puzzled, Lin Xiao stepped on his face. He frowned and asked impatiently, "I asked you if you understand!"
"I … I understand …"
Luo Wu's heart was filled with humiliation. However, he could not do anything to Lin Xiao in the current situation.
In terms of martial arts, he was no match for Yang Jian. In terms of logic, Lin Xiao was the Prefectural Governor of Jiangchu Prefecture. He deserved to be beaten for being disrespectful to the Prefectural Governor.
Seeing Luo Wu sprawled on the ground like a dead dog, Lin Xiao retracted his foot. He even patted it twice in disdain before saying, "You can get lost now."
"Yes … I will get lost now!"
Luo Wu struggled to get up from the ground and said through gritted teeth.
However, before he could take two steps, Yang Jian used the handle of his three-pointed double-edged sword and slammed him to the ground. "My Lord said to get lost. Don't you understand?"
"You …"
When Luo Wu heard this, his face turned extremely ugly. His expression was more interesting than eating sh * t. He stared furiously at Yang Jian and Lin Xiao.
What a humiliation!
This was a great humiliation!
Ever since he became the Prefectural Governor of Guang 'an Prefecture, he had never been humiliated like this. Even the Prefectural Governor of Guang' an Prefecture did not dare to treat him this way.
Seeing Luo Wu's expression, Yang Jian frowned in displeasure. He slammed his three-pointed double-edged sword on the ground.
Luo Wu trembled in fear. The anger on his face disappeared without a trace. He said with a smile, "Yes, yes, yes. I will get lost now. I will get lost now!"
