Chapter 147: Capturing the County Magistrate

Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing were both shocked by the sudden appearance of the cannon. Ye Wenjing said, "That's the weapon of Dragon Country!" Jiang Lingyin asked Mengduo in her mind, "Could there be someone else who has traveled through time and brought with them even more powerful technology? How could they have even built a cannon?"

Meng Duo's voice rang out in Jiang Lingyin's mind: "Master, this matter is indeed strange. We are still unable to determine who did it."

Jiang Lingyin frowned, her eyes full of doubt and vigilance. She stared at the cannon, thinking about how to deal with it.

Meng Duo: "My dear master, the aura on this cannon is somewhat familiar. It is the same as the Fusang energy fluctuations that were captured at the beginning."

Jiang Lingyin was shocked when she heard this: "Could it be that someone from Fusang is behind this?"

Ye Wenjing looked stern: "If this is true, then the matter becomes even more complicated."

Jiang Lingyin's eyes were firm: "No matter what, let's solve the crisis at hand first."

Meng Duo said: "Master, I will do my best to assist you."

Jiang Lingyin nodded slightly, looked at the cannon that exuded a strange aura again, and secretly thought about her next move in her heart.

Zhang Yu continued to shout at this time: "Humph, even if you know, what can you do? You will all die here today!"

Jiang Lingyin snorted coldly: "Then give it a try!"

She and Ye Wenjing exchanged glances, and the two rushed towards the cannon again, ready to fight a desperate battle with this unknown danger.

Ye Wenjing said solemnly: "This is definitely not something that an ordinary person can do. There must be a huge conspiracy behind it."

Jiang Lingyin gritted her teeth and said, "No matter what, let's find a way to destroy this thing first!"

Ye Wenjing nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's be careful!"

While they were discussing, Zhang Yu laughed triumphantly: "Haha, you can't escape today!"

Jiang Lingyin glared at Zhang Yu: "Don't be happy too soon!"

Ye Wenjing has traveled through another world for more than ten years and is well aware of the power of cannons.

His eyes revealed a deep fear, awe for this powerful weapon. In the more than ten years of living in another world, he had witnessed the terrifying killing power of the cannon with his own eyes. The roar, the impact of the explosion, the power that could instantly turn everything into ruins were all deeply engraved in his memory.

At this moment, facing this familiar and terrifying weapon again, Ye Wenjing's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. But he knew that he could not retreat and had to find a way to deal with it, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Ye Wenjing took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. His brain was working rapidly, recalling what he had learned about the weaknesses and countermeasures of the cannon. He stared at the black muzzle, as if he could see the destructive power that was about to burst out.

"Jiang Lingyin, we have to be careful and not fight head-on." Ye Wenjing said in a low voice.

Jiang Lingyin nodded. She understood the seriousness of the matter from Ye Wenjing's expression.

Ye Wenjing continued, "Although this cannon is powerful, it takes time to load ammunition. We must seize this gap and look for an opportunity to get close and destroy it."

Jiang Lingyin responded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The two men stared intently at the cannon's every move, ready to launch a surprise attack at the critical moment.

Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing stared intently at the powerful cannon, looking for an opportunity to destroy it.

With Zhang Yu's triumphant laughter, they took advantage of the gap between the soldiers loading ammunition and approached quickly like lightning. Ye Wenjing swung his sword at the soldier operating the cannon, while Jiang Lingyin flew towards the cannon, trying to find the key part to destroy.

However, how could Zhang Yu let them succeed so easily? He commanded more soldiers to surround them. For a while, there were flashes of swords and the battle was extremely fierce.

Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing relied on their superb martial arts and tacit cooperation to break through many obstacles. Ye Wenjing cut the key rope connecting the cannon with a sword, and Jiang Lingyin poured his internal force into his palm and slapped the cannon with force.

There was a loud bang and the cannon exploded, flames shot into the sky and debris flew everywhere.

Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing were knocked to the ground by the blast, but they quickly got up and looked at the cannon that had become a pile of scrap metal with smiles of victory on their faces.

Zhang Yu stood there in a daze, his face turned pale. He never expected that his last trump card would be destroyed like this.

Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing successfully destroyed the cannon, and the surrounding soldiers were frightened and panicked by this sudden change.

Jiang Lingyin dusted off her body and looked at Zhang Yu fiercely: "Your support is gone, why don't you surrender!"

Ye Wenjing held a long sword in his hand, with the tip of the sword pointed directly at Zhang Yu: "You have done so many evil things, today is your end!"

Zhang Yu looked ashen, but he was still unwilling to accept defeat. He shouted loudly, "Go ahead, kill them!"

However, the soldiers had already lost their fighting spirit, and faced with the powerful momentum of Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing, they retreated one after another.

Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing pressed forward step by step, and Zhang Yu kept retreating, and was finally forced into a corner.

"Mercy, mercy!" Zhang Yu finally broke down and knelt down begging for mercy.

Jiang Lingyin snorted coldly: "The crime you committed is unforgivable!"

Ye Wenjing said: "You must be handed over to the law and made to pay for everything you have done!"

Afterwards, Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing tied up Zhang Yu and escorted him out of the county magistrate's mansion. When the people learned of their victory, they cheered.

From then on, the land returned to its former peace and tranquility.

Zhang Yu was captured alive, and Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing immediately began to interrogate him.

In the dim room, only an oil lamp emitted a faint light. Zhang Yu was tied up and sat on a chair, with his head lowered and his face depressed.

Jiang Lingyin stared at Zhang Yu with a sharp gaze and said coldly, "Zhang Yu, tell me everything you know about the conspiracy!"

Ye Wenjing stood aside with his arms folded across his chest, threateningly saying, "Don't even think about hiding anything, or you'll be in trouble!"

Zhang Yu raised his head, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but he still tried to be tough: "Humph, don't even think about getting anything from me."

Jiang Lingyin took a step forward, slammed the table, and said sternly: "Do you think you can still resist? Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist!"

Ye Wenjing also said: "You are doomed now. If you tell the truth, you may be able to survive."
