My Cultivation Starting from Archery

The prisoners of war captured a good number of barbarian soldiers.

Some of them were imprisoned within Dongyi City, numbering around twenty thousand.

"Yes, the prisoners of war have caused trouble!"

Xia Cong reported, "Last night at the second watch, several tribal leaders suddenly led more than twenty thousand people, claiming to avenge the barbarians and said they wanted to counterattack Liangzhou. However, soon, General Lü led the Xuanwu Camp to suppress them."

"Where are they now?"

Chen Sansi stood up and asked.

"They're all... dead."

Xia Cong paused, "Over twenty thousand people, completely massacred."

The light in Chen Sansi's eyes deepened.

These twenty thousand people.

They were originally intended to be slowly assimilated, whether it was for building walls or to be used in the future for raising horses, they were all a saving.

The key is...

The barbarians' main force had been destroyed; amongst these twenty thousand people, not even a single Mysterious Phenomenon appeared. How could they think about counterattacking Liangzhou? Isn't that just seeking death?

Even a fool would know.

There was something fishy going on.

Eldest martial brother...

Chen Sansi possessed the Qi Observation Skill; he had long noticed that he had begun cultivating the Incense Fire Divine Dao.

Presumably, it was granted by the Emperor after the incident at Ziwei Mountain.

Thinking back to the Evil God Path that the Crown Prince cultivated...

He could probably guess what had happened.

Twenty thousand barbarians had died.

Chen Sansi didn't feel much sympathy for them.

After all.

Had the Blood Sacrifice succeeded back then, these Central Plains People would have become second-class citizens or even slaves.

But this matter couldn't be ignored.

"I understand. You may go now."

Chen Sansi left the camp and went straight to Duke Weiwu Mansion, but on his way past the government office, he encountered a public trial of a case, only the person judging the case seemed amiss.

In the Great Sheng Dynasty.

If any incidents occurred among the people, it would typically be the county government's responsibility.

Even within the Prefecture Cities, there are county offices in the attached counties, not the Magistrate's job to handle.

However, Liangzhou City, being a state city, was directly governed by the governor for judicial cases.

Only at this moment, the person sitting on the public seat was not the governor, but...

Qu Yuanxiang!

During the past two days of seclusion.

Chen Sansi heard that this Cultivator wanted to experience the mortal world; relying on the gold medal, no one dared to provoke him as he meddled in government affairs, and he was mostly causing chaos. It seems that today he wanted to indulge in the thrill of judging cases again.

"That—"

Qu Yuanxiang, while drinking, glanced sideways at a kneeling woman and a frail man below the stand, asked unclearly, "Who are you down there, you want to... to accuse your uncle, huh!"

The woman sobbed, "My, my husband is a traveling merchant, and his brother, he forcefully, forcefully defiled me!"

Qu Yuanxiang looked at the frail man who seemed like a skinny chick and questioned, "Is there such a matter?"

"My lord, there's no such thing!"

The man shook his head repeatedly, "This woman has the heart of a serpent and scorpion. My elder brother has been missing for a long time, and last night I discovered that she was having an affair with the steward. I was going to report this to the government office, but she noticed and decided to accuse me first. My lord, you must discern the truth!"

"That Pan!"

Qu Yuanxiang raised an eyebrow, "I will ask you one last time, Pan, is everything you said the truth?"

"The truth!"

The woman swore, "It's absolutely the truth."

"Good!"

Qu Yuanxiang suddenly picked up a Command Arrow in front of him and pointed at a clerk as skinny as the man, saying, "You, before everyone here, defile this Pan for me to see!"

"Ah?"

The clerk was stunned, "Immortal Master, you, you're joking, right?!"

"Do what you're told!"

Qu Yuanxiang snapped harshly, "Or else, off with your head!"

"Pan, I'm sorry!"

The clerk, not daring to disobey the order, could only leap towards the woman in front of the crowd.

The woman, not expecting such a maneuver, fought back desperately.

The two actually began to fight in the broad daylight and public view.

The woman, evidently of wealthy upbringing, could be described as "strong and muscular" without exaggeration.

In comparison, the already thin clerk looked like a monkey. After struggling for a while, not only did he fail to succeed, but he was the one who got scratched up, blood covering his body.

"You."

Qu Yuanxiang pointed to another person, "Charge! Reinforce!"

"I, obey!"

As a result.

Neither could harm a single hair on Pan's head.

"Slap!"

"Enough!"

On the public seat, Qu Yuanxiang slammed down the gavel, making his final decision, "Two couldn't take her down, showing that you are lying through your teeth. Your uncle is innocent! Bring this Pan and that steward of theirs, drag them down to the dungeon for me!"

"Oh my!"

The man was tearfully grateful, "Great heaven-sent judge!"

The case carried no injustice.

Because Chen Sansi noticed that the steward had already made an escape in advance.

Yet this didn't mean there was no issue.

He could see the scorn in that drunken Cultivator's eyes, disdain for everyone here, as if everything here was truly just pawns for his own amusement.

If he continued to wreak havoc...

And yet this person had significant Cultivation and a gold medal in hand.

Chen Sansi could only leave and head to Duke Weiwu Mansion instead.

He was guided by a servant to the courtyard, just in time to see the bloody Lü Ji disarming, while Nie Yuan was quietly discussing something by his side.

"Junior brother?"

Lü Ji said in a deep voice, "What brings you to my place."

"You should be well aware, eldest martial brother."

Chen Sansi looked at the bloodstains on him; no further explanation was necessary.

"Oh."

Nie Yuan hurriedly intervened, "That, the already submissive barbarians suddenly rebelled last night. It was a sudden event, and since you, junior brother, were in seclusion and thankfully eldest martial brother timely..."
