As Shen Luo and the black-robed monk were asking and answering questions, more and more people gathered around to watch the fun.
The black-robed monk was filled with shame and indignation, but he did not dare to act rashly. At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves, and then saw a group of black-armored cavalry rushing over from the separated crowd.
He immediately seemed to have seen a life-saving straw, and shouted loudly: "There are thieves, there are thieves here..."
Hearing the shouts, the black-armored cavalry immediately drew their swords and rushed over quickly.
Shen Luo looked in the direction of the voice and saw that this team of seven people were wearing bright black armor with runes engraved in the fine details. The long swords in their hands were covered with a faint luster. It was obvious that they were not ordinary soldiers.
"What's going on?" The leader glanced at everyone and asked.
"We are from the Prince's Uncle's Mansion. This is the Prince's Uncle's youngest son. He was just ambushed by this man and his Yan beast was broken. Hurry up and capture him." The black-robed monk quickly stood up and shouted.
These black-armored cavalrymen are directly under the government of the Tang Dynasty. Most of them are cultivators at the third or fourth level of Qi Refining. They are usually responsible for the security of the imperial city. Although their cultivation is not high, they have the support of the government of the Tang Dynasty behind them, so generally no one dares to mess with them.
Shen Luo listened to him distorting right and wrong, standing with his hands behind his back, his expression calm and without making any excuses.
The leading black-armored cavalryman was a big bearded man. He took a look at the remains of the green ox in the distance, then looked at Shen Luo and the two people kneeling on the ground, and immediately guessed what had happened.
"Since you have damaged the Yan beast, pay the compensation and leave quickly. Don't cause any more trouble." The bearded man looked at Shen Luo and said.
Although the words were impolite, it was obvious that he intended to make a big deal out of a small matter.
"What? He even injured my young master. We can't just let him go like this." The black-robed monk shouted immediately after hearing this.
The fat boy was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then he leaned back and lay on the ground wailing.
When the audience around saw this, they immediately booed.
"According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, anyone who lets wild animals injure people on the main road in the city will be sent to jail. Think carefully before you speak." The bearded man said bluntly upon seeing this.
The black-robed monk hesitated after hearing this, but the young man who had fallen to the ground suddenly sat up and said, "Eating jail food? My uncle is from the Ministry of Justice."
Hearing this, the bearded man was a little troubled.
They maintain the public order of the imperial city on a daily basis, and they have to deal with the Ministry of Justice, so they have to give them face.
Seeing this, the black-robed monk shouted again, "This guy is a monk, and his behavior is suspicious. He might be a wanted criminal by the government. You'd better take him back and interrogate him."
After hearing this, the bearded man hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master, please come with us."
"There is no evidence at all, so why should I go with you?" Shen Luo said without changing his expression.
The black-robed monk was even more delighted when he saw this.
Once Shen Luo starts to resist, these black-armored cavalrymen may not be able to do anything to him, but they will surely attract the monks from the Tang Dynasty government. By then, no matter how strong he is, will he be able to get in trouble with the government
Seeing that Shen Luo refused to obey, the bearded man became a little annoyed. After thinking for a while, he said:
"Recently, Chang'an City is preparing for the Three Realms Martial Arts Conference. All immortal masters and cultivators entering Chang'an need to register with the government. If the immortal master has already registered, he can just give us the document for inspection."
