Eat a full meal and get a good night's sleep.

At dawn the next day, Dongfang Shuo naturally opened his eyes.

After a brief wash, I prepared a clean suit and went out.

But just as he opened the door and walked out of the yard, when he was about to fall down, he found three people waiting in front of the door.

Two middle-aged soldiers in their forties stood outside the door accompanied by an old acquaintance of Dongfang Shuo.

"City Lord Yang, why are you here?"

Dongfang Shuo looked at Yang Dongsheng suspiciously, and asked.

Seeing him like this, Yang Dongsheng smiled and said: "Mr. Dongfang is really too outward, since he is back, I will let me know, if it weren't for the fact that a veteran of mine saw you in the city yesterday, I might not have known that you were here until now." ”

"It's just that I'm coming back for some trivial things, so I don't think there's any need to alarm you, after all, you're already the city lord now, and you must have a lot of things to deal with on weekdays. Dongfang Shuo also said with a smile.

Yang Dongsheng shook his head: "If it weren't for you, I would have been reduced to dry bones in the grave now, and my family would have become prisoners, and the people of this city were able to get out of the sea of suffering, and they all relied on you, Mr. Dongfang." Therefore, Mr. Dongfang, whatever reason you have returned, I should also go out of the city to meet you. ”

Hearing these words, Dongfang Shuo couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.

This Yang Dongsheng is full of enthusiasm, not only loyal to the liver and courageous, but also quite arrogant, and understands Entu.

At this time, Dongfang Shuo looked at Yang Dongsheng and asked, "You are standing here, you won't wait for me for a long time, right?"

"Not long after. ”

But Yang Dongsheng immediately shook his head and stopped with a smile.

However, before his words fell, the voice of Spy A came from the courtyard: "He has been waiting for you outside the courtyard for almost an hour." ”

Dongfang Shuo was stunned: "Since it's been an hour, why don't you invite him in?"

"I don't know the relationship between Lord Dongfang and him, and I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to let him in privately. At this time, Scout A hurried to the door, also showing a guilty look.

Seeing this situation, Yang Dongsheng immediately said: "I knew that Mr. Dongfang came back last night, but I didn't close my eyes all night, and I came early this morning, it was I who came uninvited, and this little brother should let me wait outside for the safety of Mr. Dongfang." Fortunately, there was not much to do in the city these two days, but I was able to relax. ”

Dongfang Shuo sighed lightly.

"Please come in. ”

So, he made way for Yang Dongsheng.

But Yang Dongsheng didn't leave immediately, but wondered: "Mr. Fang Cai is in a hurry to open the door and come out, isn't there something to do?"

"It's true that there is something to do, but it's not urgent, you've been waiting outside the door for an hour, and I'm not missing this hour. Dongfang Shuo shook his head with a smile.

When Yang Dongsheng heard this, he also smiled, and after glancing back at the two behind him, he followed Dongfang Shuo into the courtyard together.

After that, Dongfang Shuo and Yang Dongsheng began to chat with each other, most of which was about the people in the city.

After understanding, in the past two months, through the efforts of Yang Dongsheng and all parties in the city, this ruined city has been put back on track and entered the mode of recuperation.

Fortunately, in addition to the infrequent monster attacks, the biggest dispute in this city is the neighborhood dispute.

In the process of this conversation, Dongfang Shuo also took the opportunity to ask some things about the old city lord back then, but although Yang Dongsheng was already in an important position at that time, he didn't know it.

"Speaking of which, how is Su He?" Yang Dongsheng said, "Although it is very hateful to say that the old city lord murdered by his father, after all, the child is still innocent, he has suffered too much injustice in his life, and I feel sorry for him." ”

Seeing Yang Dongsheng like this, Dongfang Shuo pursed his lips.

"He's doing well, at first he was covered by me, and then he has been thriving in the spiritual realm with his own cleverness. ”

He said.

Sometimes, a white lie is better in the face of well-meaning people.

And Yang Dongsheng nodded with a smile, and said, "That's good, that's good." More than two months ago, I was thinking, instead of leaving him alone in this sad place, it is better to let him go to the spiritual realm with you, and now it seems that this choice is very wise. ”

This sentence made Dongfang Shuo's face inexplicably show a trace of bitterness.

"yes, that's wise. ”

But this emotion was not expressed by him in his tone.

At this time, Yang Dongsheng looked at the sky.

"It's not too early, I've been bothering you for so long, and it's almost time for me to go back. Yang Dongsheng stood up as he spoke, and then glanced at the two accompanying generals sitting on the side, "This time, I also came because I was uneasy because I couldn't go out of the city to meet you, so I came to see your condition." ”

So, Dongfang Shuo also got up.

After all, Yang Dongsheng is also the city lord, and there is no need for him to stay if he wants to leave Dongfang Shuo.

"I should be able to finish my business in two days, and I will leave when I am done. Dongfang Shuo said.

Yang Dongsheng nodded: "Then when you want to leave, if you have time, come to me again, and I will send you." ”

Dongfang Shuo shook his head with a smile and said, "No need, City Lord Yang, I appreciate your kindness." I'll come back again if I have the chance. ”

"Well, okay, I'll wait for you, but next time you come, you must notify in advance, so I can go out to meet you. ”

"Got it. ”

After talking, Yang Dongsheng left the courtyard with his people.

And after they left, Dongfang Shuo exhaled lightly, and he was ready to do his own thing.

"Lord Dongfang. ”

But before he got out of the yard, Spy B suddenly stopped him.

Dongfang Shuo turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Don't you think it's a little strange, Lord Dongfang?"

Spy B.

Dongfang Shuo was stunned: "Strange?

"Yang Dongsheng. ”

"What's strange about Yang Dongsheng?"

"You're kind to him, aren't you?"

"Sort of, but it's just a gesture, and I don't care about it. ”

"According to him, you have saved the whole city by saving him, and now that you are in the city to do something, it is only natural that he should ask you what is the matter and if you need help. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, isn't it strange that he seems to know what you're here to do, and doesn't say a word about what you're going to do from beginning to end?"

Yang Dongsheng used to be a general, and his mind was not as meticulous as you, and it was normal for him to be occasionally negligent in this kind of polite etiquette. ”

"Maybe I'm overthinking, but my gut always feels like there's something wrong with that. ”

"Prepare your lunch for today, I'll be back. ”

As soon as the words fell, he pushed the door open.

When he had left the courtyard, he went all the way west, toward the west.

Stepping out of the West Gate, he could see the mountains in the distance, undulating but not towering, and his destination was in the middle of the mountains.

After leaving the city, because the terrain was flat and spacious, he unconsciously quickened his pace.

But in the blink of an eye, he was already close to the crossing of the mountains.

But as soon as he stepped at the foot of the mountain, a thought in his heart suddenly made him pause.

His perception is far beyond that of ordinary people, and he can perceive things that ordinary people can't perceive.

At this moment, within his perception, the aura of heaven and earth within a hundred zhang was slightly disordered, and it seemed to be blown away by a force, as if a spiritual power battle had just taken place in this range.

After pausing, he calmed down and felt carefully, and faintly felt a trace of weak murderous aura from the mountains in the air.

Thinking of this, the solemnity in his heart made him frown.

Immediately, the spirit sword was unsheathed, and he rose from the ground, and the sword instantly swept into the mountain like a bolt of lightning.

In the blink of an eye, he had already rushed into the mountains, and when he looked down, he saw the flowing stream, and the fenced yard beside the stream.

However, at this time, the courtyard was safe and sound, and there was not a trace of a fight around.

However, at this moment, in the mountain stream, Dongfang Shuo sensed a strong force, accompanied by a murderous aura that had long stopped but had not yet dissipated.

Looking down, his gaze swept around the yard, and he finally saw a corpse by the edge of a wild tree.

He immediately lowered the tip of his sword and quickly flew to the side of the corpse.

After landing on the ground, when he collected his sword, he sensed the residual warmth that still remained on the corpse, apparently he had just died. But there was no blood on the wound, and he didn't even have time to vomit blood from his mouth, and he died.

After glancing at it, Dongfang Shuo immediately looked back in the direction of the fence yard, and the overly calm courtyard made Dongfang Shuo frown.

So, he approached, stood outside the fence and looked in for a moment, and then finally pushed the fence open.

Crunch.

There was a loud noise, which seemed to alarm the people in the house.

When there was a sound of footsteps in the house, Wen Chenggong, an old man who was still on crutches, appeared in front of Dongfang Shuo.

"Adin, is that you?"

Because he didn't hear the voice of the comer, the old man didn't know who was coming.

Dongfang Shuo squinted, at least it seemed that this old man was fine.

Fortunately, he left Ah Whale here in advance, and that person should have been killed by Ah Whale. If this hand is not left, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable, and this murderous aura will inevitably prove that they are here to kill this old man.

"It's me. ”

Dongfang Shuo spoke.

When the old man heard this, he sighed: "It's you." ”

So, he turned back and went into the house.

"Old man remembers my voice?"

"Naturally remember. ”

"Sure enough, as rumored, the old man's ability to never forget is really good. ”

"It's a pity I'm blind......"

"Oh? So the old man admits that he has never forgotten it? So you should remember the events of ten years ago, right?"

"You ......" Wen Chenggong stopped, his face was slightly sideways, and finally sighed, "Don't ask me again, I really don't know anything." ”

Dongfang Shuo smiled and said, "You kept your mouth shut about me in order not to hurt the innocent, but as everyone knows, there are still people who want to kill you." ”

These words made the old man frown.

"No way, he's not such a person!" said the old man.

Hearing this, Dongfang Shuo hooked the corners of his mouth and asked, "He?"
