Chapter 37: The Great Enemy

The day lit up again, and Bai Yishi's heart was finally relieved. Not a single arrow was fired from the building in the distance, nor did it come to question.

Xu Ji stayed by his side all night, and when he saw Bai Yishi making a move, he immediately stepped forward to help him up.

Bai Yishi's body is far inferior to Xu Ji, he sat like this all night, his legs were quite numb, and without Xu Ji's support, he really couldn't walk.

"Lord Bai, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid this building would have been destroyed last night!" Xu Ji had been in Fangyuan City for many years, and he knew the temperament of the people here. They absolutely didn't want to see a Fang Yuan Mansion suddenly fall on their heads. Murder is as simple as eating and drinking for these most vicious people. What's more, this group of Imperial Guards does not have any combat power at all. As for the mastermind who shot the arrow yesterday, his strength is even more unfathomable, and I'm afraid that he alone will be enough to raze this place to the ground.

If a hundred people of the Imperial Forest Army and more than 50 court officials are killed here, no one will be caught, and no one will provide clues or testimony anything, and this will become an unsolved case. If Fangyuan City wants to be destroyed, it will be destroyed together, and if it is born, it will be born together. If you really want to exterminate Fangyuan City, I'm afraid that the imperial court will really break your bones, this is definitely not what most people want to see.

Bai Yishi's face was expressionless, and he slowly broke away from Xu Ji's support and walked into the old building.

The guards who stopped Bai Yishi yesterday were timid and didn't dare to face the other party. Of course, they couldn't imagine that the young man in front of them could do what he said and save their lives in disguise.

There was no longer chaos in the old building, and there was no crying and shouting, but they still sat on the same ground, looking around in horror. At the beginning, they knew that coming to Fangyuan City to be an official was a chore, but they didn't expect it to be a lifeless errand, they didn't think about anything now, they just wanted to leave this ghost place immediately.

Bai Yishi glanced at these people, didn't say much, and went up to the second floor.

The prefect Zhao Xincheng had already woken up, and he also saw what Bai Yishi had done, and when he saw the other party coming up, he immediately greeted him, and thanked him: "Bai Zhaomo is really a young talent, and he has great courage, if it wasn't for Bai Zhaomo yesterday, I would be in danger." ”

Everyone thanked each other, but there was not much sincerity on their faces. A teenage hairy child, doing earth-shattering things is not worthy of admiration from the bottom of people's hearts, and yesterday's events are just a mistake of a newborn calf.

Bai Yishi returned the salute and said, "Yishi just did what he had to do, and he never thought that it would have such an effect. But this is a temporary move after all, and it still needs an adult to preside over the overall situation. ”

Zhao Xincheng hurriedly asked, "I don't know what Bai Zhaomo's idea is?" Even as a prefect, he is now in a state of confusion, and he is in a hurry to go to the doctor.

"Your Excellency still has to investigate the people's situation first, and then think about it in the long run. ”

The people behind Zhao Xincheng said angrily: "Still thinking about it in the long run? I and other officials in the court were almost killed, and I still have to think about it in the long run?

On this night, the people here did not just sleep peacefully here, but debated countless countermeasures, and sent people to take action. Looking back on half their lives, they have never been so scared for a day.

"That's right! The people of Fang Yuan Mansion actually dared to commit murder against the imperial court officials in broad daylight! Such a blatant murder would be a complicity in the crime! They would definitely press the border with a large army and bring all the vicious people to justice!"

"The arrogance is soaring, there is no king's law, and the punishment is not enough to deter Fang Yuan Mansion! If this is not the case, Fang Yuan Mansion has no prestige, how can we talk about governance!"

"Fangyuan Mansion is not a place outside the law, it is also my Ming territory!"

“......”

The people were filled with righteous indignation, and once again they were united in their hatred of the enemy.

Bai Yishi knew that they must have sent someone to ask for a large army to be sent to suppress Fangyuan City, and he didn't want to say anything more.

Zhao Xincheng looked at Bai Yishi, but he didn't expect to ask any good ideas from the other party, so he turned around and discussed countermeasures with the officials again.

Bai Yishi turned his head to look at Xu Ji and asked, "Is there a county chronicle of Fangyuan City?"

"Yes. Xu hurriedly responded. Everyone may have been busy discussing, and they didn't pay attention to Xu Ji, so they didn't mention the matter of driving him out.

"Show me. Bai Yishi found a free place to sit down and looked out from the dilapidated window. Fangyuan City is still the same as yesterday, nothing has changed.

In less than half a moment, Xu Ji held a thick stack of books in front of Bai Yishi.

"This is last year's prefectural chronicle. ”

"How can there be so many?" Bai Yishi really didn't expect that there would be so many books, even if he looked at ten lines, he would have to read seven or eight lines before he could do it, it stands to reason that this small place should not have so many things to remember.

"There are a lot of chaotic people in Fangyuan City, and there are even more poor scholars who have nothing to do, they can't wait to write 1.8 million words to show their level, and they don't pay attention to the truth of things, they only write nonsense, like gods. More than ten people compiled, each with their own words, and the county chronicles of a year naturally wrote so much. ”

Bai Yishi didn't have any good ideas to extract the essence, so he could only watch first, he looked at Xu Ji and said, "You go and help me do something, ask what happened to the sky-high fire yesterday, and whether anyone is missing." In addition, you also inquired, did Ning Du from Qingteng Garden go back. ”

"Okay!" Xu Ji had nothing to do, and those adults couldn't look down on him, so he simply obeyed Bai Yishi's orders.

It wasn't until late evening that Xu Ji rushed back and said: "Yesterday's firelight was a shot from all over the world, as if it was chasing and killing a person, and the person being chased was burned to ashes on the spot, and more than 100 people around were affected, and the casualties were quite heavy. ”

Bai Yishi was stunned and motioned for Xu Ji to continue.

"Also, there is no news from Ning Du in Qingteng Garden, it seems that many people are looking for this person. "Xu Ji has been in Fangyuan City for many years, and he still has the ability to inquire about the news.

"Keep inquiring about this person. ”

"Done. Xu Ji answered, and when he saw that Bai Yishi no longer commanded, he stepped forward and asked, "I don't know what Lord Bai's plans are, can't you live tonight like last night......?"

Bai Yishi said: "Don't worry, someone is more anxious than us." ”

Xu Ji looked up, his heart was full of doubts, but he didn't continue to ask.

As early as noon today, Zhao Xincheng and the others went to the more comfortable fifth or sixth floor, but they did not feel the slightest comfort, but were like ants on a hot pot.

More than 100 copies of the documents to the Ministry of War, the Criminal Department, the Imperial Forest Army, and the East Jinwei have been written, but there is no news like a mud cow entering the sea.

"What the hell is going on? Is it just watching us being killed here?"

"If that's the case, what are you sending us here for? Don't panic, the imperial court will definitely send someone to save us!"

"What if no one comes? We just sit and wait for the arrows that come from sometime and where?"

"What is the noise! Can the quarrel produce a result? Shut up and wait in peace!"

The prefect Zhao Xincheng was also helpless, and he could only look out the window with fear, hoping that the people of Fangyuan Mansion would abandon evil and follow good, and would not release cold arrows again.

Bai Yishi didn't care much about the people above, he was about to continue reading the county chronicle in his hand, but he found that he couldn't completely meditate, and the effect was not as good as before, so he couldn't help but look out the window.

"Why is there no news yet? How can something happen to you? You want to be the best person in the world!"

——

A corner of Fangyuan City was filled with all kinds of debris, and due to years of flooding, it emitted a strange smell of decay.

The upstairs not far away was full of people, but it was a little eeriely quiet.

Suddenly, someone fell from the sky, and when he was about to fall onto the plank, the plank suddenly reversed, and the man fell directly into the water below, but the splash was blocked by the board that closed in reverse, and only a few drops of water were raised. It's as if nothing had happened, the boiling in the distance, and the silence here.

The speed of the person who fell into the water decreased sharply, and when it was almost still, it turned around and swam towards the dark rock like a big fish, and the vitality in his hand formed a special imprint, imprinted on a special rock, and then a passage appeared.

"Whew!"

It had been a good moment before the man emerged from the water again, but he was now in a man-made cavern in the rocks at the foot of the mountain, and no one would find him.

"How's it going?"

"If you are cremated, you will definitely die. ”

"How did you kill him?"

The Four Realms cultivator who chased and killed Ning Du yesterday snorted coldly and said, "Don't kill him yet, keep him to kill us later?"

"It's just a small difficult situation, why be afraid of this?"

In less than a year, this small difficult situation will be like picking up things from your pocket!"

"Then how can you give an errand to the princess? The princess said that even if he is not a living person, he must have his corpse!"

"Can I not know the princess's orders?!"

"Then you can't wait for another good opportunity?"

"I repeat, if this person is not killed, it will become a big disaster in the future!"

"Okay! Okay! Okay! All the responsibility for this operation is on you! If you don't complete the task, you will burn this person to ashes, see how you explain it to the princess!"

"I didn't do anything wrong!" Whenever this Dark Fire member remembered the battle with Ning Du, he was afraid that he had thoroughly studied Ning Du's abilities, but in the end he almost let him escape. If it weren't for his intention to kill the other party, I'm afraid that the end would not only let Ning Du escape, but his own life might be threatened.

"This person must not be left behind! Even if he takes my head back to restore his life, this person must be killed! Otherwise, there will definitely be one more great enemy in the south!"
