Long Rui became alert immediately. Holding Xuexue, he leapt and flew onto the City Gate Tower.
In the hazy moonlight, he was like a great bird spreading its wings, moving with incredible grace. Everyone was dumbfounded, unable to believe that this outsider possessed such high martial arts skills that he could ascend the city gate without any support. Instantly, they felt a bit relieved; even if the horse bandits came, with such a master, they might not necessarily lose.
The county magistrate was guarding above. Seeing Long Rui come up, he quickly whispered, "Prince, what's going on?"
"The horse bandits are here. Tell everyone to be careful."
"No, they aren't!"
Hearing the dog barking, the county magistrate also thought the horse bandits were coming. However, from his vantage point above, he looked for a long time but saw nothing unusual in the darkness below.
Long Rui pointed at a spot below the city gate and said, "Sir, take a closer look down there."
