Chapter 8: Murder and Might

After Feng Xiaotian helped Zhao Kuo up, he took the ministers behind him into the city. Although Feng Xiaotian is young, he is a city lord after all. He still has to report on everything in the city. In simple terms. There were nearly 1,000 households in the city. There are 70,000 soldiers and horses stationed there. Of these, 40,000 are elite troops. The remaining 30,000 are some old and weak soldiers who are not very strong in combat.

The architecture of the city is somewhat similar to that of a fortress. To the east is a forest with a group of monsters. It's fierce. To the north is a neighboring country, which is also often harassed. Although Feng Xiaotian had fully understood the situation before coming. But I was still very patient to listen to him through all this. After he finished speaking, he said politely: "Uncle Zhao has worked hard." I'm new to the city, and I'm not familiar with the city. I'm sure I'm going to cause you a lot of trouble. You go get busy first, I'll go around casually by myself, and I don't have to accompany my junior. ”

Zhao Kuo heard Feng Xiaotian speak so politely. Favorability adds another layer. And he does have a lot to do. Recently, the monsters on the edge of the forest have become more and more unstable. He also had to take measures to deal with it earlier, and after a few polite greetings, he got up and left.

After he left, Feng Xiaotian also began to get to know the local officials and some powerful wealthy businessmen here. After finishing all this, he returned to the City Lord's Mansion and continued his cultivation. Since these three energies can't be removed, they can only go all the way to the dark. Moreover, the emphasis of cultivation is on cultivating the mind. Once the spiritual realm reaches a certain level, then mana is a matter of course. In this way, he handles interpersonal relationships during the day and cultivates at night. Occasionally, he also wrote letters to Xu Ling. Although the days are boring, he is still full of fighting spirit with infinite desire for the future.

In the blink of an eye, autumn is over. After the first snowfall, the hardest time for Linguan City began. That's the most dangerous thing, the beast tide is coming. At this time of year, a bunch of wild beasts come out to grab food. The leader is an ape beast whose strength is about the third layer realm, and his subordinates are some small demon beasts that can't eat as soon as winter comes. Their purpose is simple, that is, to grab food. Whether it's people or livestock, whoever comes doesn't turn down. Therefore, defending them every year has become one of Zhao Kuo's most important jobs. These monsters don't have many brains. As long as you keep the key places, it's still easy. Originally, this was an activity that everyone was accustomed to. But this year there was a crisis.

That was the general of the Song State, Ouyang Lie led his troops to attack at this time. It's a bit tricky. The nearest reinforcement will arrive as soon as a day. Looking at the current situation, I can't bear it for half a day. This made Zhao Kuo, who had always been calm and calm, so anxious that he stomped his feet. And the officials below him were even more at a loss, and they were even thinking about how to run away quickly. For a time, the morale of the army was extremely low. Looking at the officials who were pregnant with ghosts, Zhao Kuo was angry, but he was helpless. After all, a catastrophe is coming, if he kills people at this time, not only will they not let them fight the enemy together. On the contrary, there will be rebellion, unite together, and it may be treason together. In order not to have such a terrible situation. He can only endure it.

At this moment, a small figure came to the main hall and said, "I have a way to relieve this siege." When the silent people heard this, they were first surprised. But when they saw that the person who came was nothing more than a six-year-old doll, they were immediately deflated again. Of course, the people present knew that he was the king of Chang'an, but he was in danger right now. Everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, where can anyone care about this little child. No one respects his identity anymore. Even some people who had already seen him unpleasantly said arrogantly: "Little brat, this is not the place for you to come, hurry up and go home to feed." ”

"Hahahaha......" When everyone heard this, it was a burst of laughter.

Feng Xiaotian was not angry when he heard it, and said in his heart that he couldn't find a reason to be worried, and if he was in military law, you kid would send it to the door to find death. Then he sneered. Said angrily: "This is which shrunken turtle farts there, and there is a kind of standing up for everyone to see." ”

When the man heard this, he shouted angrily and stood in the middle of the crowd. Loud said, "That's what I said about you?"

I saw that this person was eight feet tall, with a strong body, a cold complexion, and unkind eyes, and no need to dress up could make people see at a glance that he was the kind of typical ruffian hooligan. Of course Feng Xiaotian knew this person. His name is Kaohsiung, and he is a prison sent by the prince. Relying on the big backer of the prince, he does all kinds of evil on weekdays, bullying men and women. He has been stationed here for 10 years. During this period, hundreds of girls died at his hands. Even Zhao Kuo, who has always been upright, only dared to be angry with him. Who makes the backstage hard? Besides, Zhao Kuo can still be more restrained in him, so the two of them have been fighting openly and secretly in this middle city.

For his initiative, Feng Xiaotian was quite happy. Directly shouted: "Come on, take down this traitor." ”

"Yes," the guards of the temple rushed forward without hesitation when they heard his order. It only took two or three hits to take Kaohsiung. Kaohsiung, who was taken, was blinded on the spot. He was usually high up on the ground and was actually caught like a dog today. A wave of anger rushed straight to the brain, but after all, he was a person with the status of a prince. He still maintained a shred of sanity, and what he said just now was a momentary gaffe at best. Sin is not unto death, and he is the prince's man. When I think of this backer. He immediately said, "Your Highness, what do you want to do? I am a prison sent by the crown prince." You have no right to kill me. For your sake, the king of Chang'an. Hurry up and let me go, I don't care anymore. ”

In his opinion, he is already very low. If the other party still cares about the prince. You should let yourself go. It's a pity that he guessed wrong today. At present, the crisis in the city has not been eliminated, and the people's hearts are scattered. It's just a matter of killing a man of a lot of weight to stand up. How could he let him go so easily? As for Zhao Kuo's worries, he didn't care. With his current strength. Are you still afraid that a few rebellious soldiers will not succeed?

As if he hadn't heard Kaohsiung's plea for mercy, he walked to the center of the hall and sat down. Then he said angrily: "According to this king's investigation, Kaohsiung is the Song State of the Song Dynasty, he secretly told the Song State to deliberately expose our time to resist the beast tide, so that the inside and outside should join forces to capture Linguan City, after the success of the matter, he sat here as the city lord, and there are letters here as proof." Then he took out a piece of paper from his bosom and shook it in front of everyone. Then he continued: "Now that the evidence is conclusive, someone has dragged it down and beheaded it." ”

This made Kaohsiung really feel the threat of death. shouted in horror: "Wronged, Your Highness has no such thing, this must be a villain's frame." ”

"Oh, someone framed you, so who do you say this person is? Are you talking about this king?" Feng Xiaotian asked with a cold face.

"This ...... The villain doesn't know. But I was wronged. Kaohsiung continued to say aggrievedly. At the same time, I was thinking. Isn't this obvious? It's obvious that you've wronged me. But now that the knife is in someone's hands, how dare he fight it. Immediately afterwards, he moved out his life-saving straw. "There must be a misunderstanding here. Can you let me go in front of the prince first, and when I find out the truth in the future, there will be a good reward. ”

But today, the prince's name doesn't seem to be good. Feng Xiaotian wanted to establish military prestige, how could he easily let him go? There was no room for nonsense. Directly to: "What are you still doing in a daze? ”

This time, no matter how Kaohsiung shouted, no one dared to pay attention to the pleas for mercy. After a few moments, the shouting stopped. Everyone was startled at first, and then suddenly felt a chill down their backs. Looking at Feng Xiaotian's eyes, it was no longer contempt, but awe. Those who had thoughts of running away lowered their heads. for fear that Feng Xiaotian would see the clues, so as to become the second Kaohsiung.
