To his surprise, the girl calmly shook her head. “Uncle Wang, now that we’ve arrived at the Qiu Kingdom. You can leave according to the agreent.”
She would not follow them to the Duanmu Trade Union or implicate them in her troubles. Since she chose to fall out with the Qiu soldiers, she would not spare them so easily.
Of course, since she was the instigator of this matter, she would shoulder all of the responsibility.
“Uncle Wang, quickly go to Duanmu Trade Union with your workers. I’ll be fine!” Qiao Mu urged Uncle Wang and his group to leave.
How could Uncle Wang be willing though? “But I promised the city lord that I would safely take you to the Qiu Kingdom.”
“Brother Monkey, take Uncle Wang and leave. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Instead, I’d have to divert my attention to take care of you if you stayed here.” The corner of Qiao Mu’s lips turned up as she expressionlessly said, “Thank you for taking care of during this journey, everyone. We’ll et again if fate wills it.”
After she said that, she flicked several immobilization talismans again and promptly immobilized the eight shocked Qiu soldiers to their spots.
Uncle Wang finally saw the signs.
He had previously suspected this child had an extraordinary background. Now, upon seeing her thods and linking it with City Lord Gu’s words, he did not hesitate any longer.
Xiao Qiao was right. If they stayed here, they might truly beco her burden.
They should take advantage of this mont and enter the town so that they could seek protection from the Duanmu Trade Union and obtain true safety.
The town’s entrance was complete chaos. The common people who were in line all followed the lead of Uncle Wang’s caravan and quickly entered the town. No one dared to linger any longer.
In the end, the small town’s entrance was deserted, except for Qiao Mu.
Of course, that was if you neglected the eight Qiu soldiers who were kneeling at the entrance with their arms tied behind their backs.
The weak chicken pattered to Qiao Mu with its thin legs and elegantly sat down next to her on its knees.
Qiao Mu glanced at it without saying anything.
The weak chicken also turned its chicken head and glanced at her, cawing twice.
A company of about 100 Qiu soldiers appeared from Pony Town upon hearing this news.
The colonel of Five Moon City would not arrive so quickly, so this had to be all of the guards stationed at the town.
The tiny Qiu Kingdom composed of only one capital city and two small cities. It was not one hundredth the size of the Mo Kingdom’s northern region.
However, the Qiu Kingdom laid in the western frontier, so it was very effective in shielding against the tribes in the Western Wilderness and there was frequent comrce between the two kingdoms, so the rulers of the Mo Kingdom allowed this barrier to exist.
Otherwise, the Mo Kingdom would have annexed such a tiny and unnoticeable kingdom several centuries ago.
Hence, when the lieutenant colonel of Pony Town heard about “an enemy troops invasion,” he was truly shocked and could not figure out why they were suddenly being attacked.
Was it the Liang Kingdom? Or was it the Zhao Kingdom? Or was it... the Mo Kingdom?
The leading lieutenant colonel looked outside of the town. His pupils first contracted before incomprehension covered his eyes.
There was a little girl, around seven or eight years old, sitting at the town’s entrance. She was holding a black ferule and lightly tapping it against her palm.
“Who are you?” The lieutenant colonel did not dare to make trouble and reined in his horse to a stop.
Before the child could say anything, a “caw” was heard, and the weak chicken suddenly stood up. It shook its stubby wings and shakily staggered toward the soldiers.
The lieutenant colonel and his soldiers were utterly dumbfounded. What the heck was this chicken doing?
Qiao Mu also jumped up and pulled out a handful of talismans.
Then, the weak chicken made a gurgle and displayed its feathers.
*Pew!* A water pillar fiercely shot into the crowd like a torrential current.
“Ah!” The company imdiately dispersed due to the impact, and quite a number of soldiers tripped and tumbled into the water, scrambling for purchase.
