Chapter 189: Betrayal
The power of Pei Guang's punch shocked the audience, and Lu Jinglong didn't need to say it, and the city lords of the other three cities also looked at each other.
The white-clothed city lord is far superior to Tsing Yi's. Although it is said that the strength level of the city lord level is uneven, but in the area around Wucheng, several city lords have dealt with each other and have a certain understanding.
The strongest is Lu Jinglong, the other three, and Pei Guang. Why did he suddenly become so powerful today? Looking at Pei Guang's current terrible state, his whole body burned with an amazing momentum. Several people were thinking in their hearts, I am afraid that this is a very costly secret method.
These three people are Peng Yuanzhi, the city lord of Jingcheng, Mei Ying, the city lord of Jixian City, and Chi Hai, the city lord of Chutian City. Today, Lu Jinglong found them and invited them to eradicate the black sheep. Although several people have a good impression of Pei Guang on weekdays, Lu Jinglong's evidence is conclusive, so there is no reason to oppose it.
It was the duty of the city lord to slay demons and protect mankind. Now the great enemy is present, and the coast is in danger. There are scum who collude with demons to kill our clan in the rear, it is really intolerable!
Although the four cities are strong together, the people of Xinhe are also very united. The boss on both sides ended the fight, and the two sides were red-eyed. Seeing that the situation was about to break out, Mei Ying, the lord of Jixian City, drew his thin sword.
I only heard a dragon chant resounding in all directions, and both sides were shocked, and they couldn't help but set their eyes on this handsome and heroic woman.
Mei Ying's actual age is close to forty, which is about the age of an aunt. However, the swordsmanship she practiced was quite beautiful, so she looked no more than thirty years old.
But no one will despise this eldest sister because of her appearance. Her strength is not very strong, but she can use the Falling Moon Sword Technique in one hand. I don't know how many powerful monsters have become the souls of her swords.
At this time, a sword was unsheathed, buzzing, everyone watched, Mei Ying said to Pei Guang Zhengse: "Pei Guang, it is intolerable for you to accumulate monsters and kill people and goods." Do you still want to drag all the brothers of the river to die with you?"
She should stand up first, of course, she is sad and angry at what Pei Guang did. But the bigger reason is that we can't bear to see humans kill each other. Mei Ying always believed that there must be a few black sheep who participated in the murder, but most of the cultivators in Xinhe were victims who did not know the truth.
Cultivators can die on the battlefield against demons, but they should not die in cannibalism, which will only make their relatives and enemies happy.
Mei Ying still has compassion in her heart, but the people around her don't think so.
Chi Hai, the city lord of Chutian City, was a middle-aged man with a pale face and a somewhat gloomy temperament. Chu Tiancheng has many specialties and is originally quite rich. But in recent days, many of the transport teams have gone but not returned, and Chi Hai's elites have suffered a lot of losses.
The matter of killing people and overselling goods had a great impact on Chu Tiancheng. He had already started to investigate this matter, but he didn't expect the truth to be revealed today.
He didn't think that Pei Guang's life alone could be worth the hundreds of lives that died in vain in Chu Tiancheng. In his opinion, everyone in Xinhe is involved, they are all guilty, and they all deserve to die!
It is better to kill them all and pay tribute to his unknown brothers who died.
"Mei Ying, why do you have to do so much nonsense with him, the four of us will do it together, I think he still has great ability?"
Of those present, only Peng Yuanzhi, the city lord of Jingcheng, did not express his position. This is a bald man, who seems rude but is actually thoughtful.
Jingcheng and Xinhe City are very close, although his friendship with Pei Guang is average, but he instinctively feels that there is something strange in it. When they came together, he doubted his heart.
Now I see Pei Guang fighting with grief and indignation, but he doesn't seem to feel ashamed, and he is even more suspicious. The other two city lords waited for him to express his position, he pondered for a moment, and said to Lu Jinglong:
"City Lord Lu, let's follow the original plan and call someone to come out and confront Pei Guang. Let the brothers of Xinhe, and the brothers on our side, be convinced. ”
Peng Yuanzhi is not wrong with this, in fact, this is the original plan. It's just that Lu Jinglong saw that Pei Guang actually fled back, and he was confused for a while, so there was this confrontation.
Lu Jinglong thought about it, in fact, Pei Guang was not present, and it didn't make much difference, but there were some more variables. Thinking of this, he put away his sword and rebuked loudly with a pretense of gesture:
"Pei Guang, you colluded with demons to kill your kind, and now you still want to resist to the end? You and I comrades-in-arms, as long as you are willing to restrain your hands, you will be captured, I promise you ......"
Before he finished speaking, Pei Guang scolded.
"Lu Jinglong, why don't you mention the word comrade-in-arms to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu wants to vomit when he hears it!"
But Pei Guang didn't patronize and scold, now that everyone was present, since he had the opportunity to speak, he must expose Lu Jinglong's true face.
"You, Wucheng Qingyi Yao Song, with a dozen blue-clothed people, used shadow claws to rob the convoy of Xinhe City outside the city. I didn't expect to be killed by our three blue-clothed people. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen. He clenched his fists and explained to several other city lords, "I went to Lu Jinglong this morning to ask for an explanation, I thought he was just a mistake of negligence on the part of His Majesty, but I didn't expect him to be the mastermind behind the scenes! He poisoned my wine and locked me up." I'm afraid the idea is that now I'm convicted here, kill me with a knife, and clean myself up.
Such a villain, you must not be deceived by him!"
Lu Jinglong laughed, turned his face and scolded: "Pei Guang, you are still spewing blood here! Do you still want to throw the good things you did on me?"
I already have evidence of your affairs, and I invited you to discuss this morning because I thought of my comrade-in-arms and persuaded you to stop doing evil and surrender to the headquarters. I didn't expect you to want to attack me when you saw that the matter was revealed.
I restrained you, and I couldn't bear to kill you, so I invited the city lords of the three cities to discuss the matter. You're so good that you still have the face to escape back here!"
The two exchanged words, and two completely different versions appeared. This kind of Rashomon-like plot made everyone present look at each other.
Including Mei Ying, Chi Hai and Peng Yuanzhi glanced at Lu Jinglong without a trace.
Because Pei Guang's statement is not unreasonable. When Lu Jinglong found a few people today, he said that he had decisive evidence in his hands. But what is this evidence, everyone has not seen it yet.
Chi Hai, the city lord of Chutian, arched his hand and said loudly: "Two city lords, in the past half a year, there have indeed been frequent disappearances of transport teams outside the city in our cities, and there have been great losses in personnel and property. A month ago, we were in contact over the radio to discuss a joint action to rid up this elusive monster.
Judging from the current situation, this is not a demon disaster, but a man-made disaster. The Oriental White Shield fended us off the demon army on the front line, but we played infighting in the rear and stabbed us in the back, which is really sad.
Two city lords, there must be a result in this matter today. You both have your own opinions, so why don't you come up with evidence. Otherwise, this empty talk, I'm afraid that there will be no result even if the quarrel is old and old. ”
"What Brother Chi said is true. Lu Jinglong laughed, but he didn't rush to come up with evidence, but asked Pei Guang instead: "City Lord Pei, you said that your people broke Yao Song's control monster in the wild and attacked your convoy in Xinhe, do you have any witnesses." ”
"Of course there are witnesses!"
"Where?"
Pei Guang was speechless for a while.
The four people Jiang Ping knew about had been taken away by Lu Hua'an, where did he come from.
Peng Yuanzhi saw that he didn't answer, and prompted: "City Lord Pei, if you have evidence, you must come up with it now." ”
Pei Guang sighed and said, "My witness has been arrested by this despicable villain. ”
Peng Yuanzhi was silent. And Lu Jinglong laughed again: "That is to say, you have no evidence."
But I have!"
A Tsing Yi stepped forward from behind, and after Pei Guang saw this person clearly, his eyes suddenly dilated.
The person who came was Luo Cheng, who stayed in Xinhe City to watch the family, Pei Guang's most trusted deputy!
