Sitting on the horse, Dongfang Shuo looked at the city that he hadn't seen for months, and was silent for a long time.

Finally, the city was opened, and Yang Dongsheng went out of the city in person.

And Dongfang Shuo stepped off the horse, and the two approached, looking at each other speechlessly.

Before this, Yang Dongsheng only knew that a storm had begun to sweep within the empire, and at the center of the storm stood a man named Dongfang Shuo. He had known these for a long time, but what she didn't expect was that Dongfang Shuo would appear outside the city again today, and he came with soldiers and horses.

This couldn't help but make Yang Dongsheng a little worried.

"Isn't there anything that City Lord Yang wants to tell me?"

Suddenly, Dongfang Shuo asked.

Such a question made Yang Dongsheng shudder in his heart.

But soon, the latter hurriedly bowed his hand and bowed slightly, and said, "Lord Dongfang, don't come unharmed." ”

Dongfang Shuo's eyebrows moved slightly, and he asked unknowingly, "Is this the only sentence?"

Yang Dongsheng raised his head and looked at Dongfang Shuo suspiciously: "I only have a few relationships with Lord Dongfang, what else can I say besides this?"

"You should be able to see the 30,000 soldiers behind me, at this time, shouldn't you kneel and beg for mercy?"

Dongfang Shuo said with a smile.

Yang Dongsheng stared, and immediately said: "I don't think there is any unfinished festival between me and Lord Dongfang, so Lord Dongfang has no reason to send troops to attack me, so why should I kneel down and beg for mercy? Unless, Lord Dongfang himself said that he came to kill me." ”

He's very clever.

At this time, he must not show timidity, if he shows timidity first, he is weak-hearted. At that time, even innocence becomes wrong, and innocence becomes guilty.

The more he didn't know Dongfang Shuo's purpose, the more he was able to show his weakness.

And looking at his appearance at the moment, the corners of Dongfang Shuo's mouth couldn't help but hang a hint of a smile but not a smile.

"It is worthy of being the Lord of Yang City, this kind of behavior is really amazing. ”

Dongfang Shuo said with a smile.

At this time, Yang Dongsheng said bluntly: "Then may I ask, since Lord Dongfang is not here to kill me, what are you doing here?"

At the end of his words, Yang Dongsheng's tone and demeanor became more and more respectful.

This is not a tribute to Dongfang Shuo, but a fear of Dongfang Shuo.

If fear cannot be expressed, it behaves as if it were respectful.

And Dongfang Shuo looked at Yang Dongsheng in front of him at this moment, and he couldn't help but have a complicated look in his heart.

When he first met Yang Dongsheng, he was regarded as a master by Yang Dongsheng, and Yang Dongsheng's respect at that time was really respectful. When he saw Yang Dongsheng for the second time, Yang Dongsheng's attitude was ambiguous, and he talked freely with Dongfang Shuo. Now that he saw Yang Dongsheng for the third time, Dongfang Shuo was already able to make Yang Dongsheng feel frightened.

The whole before and after, but only half a year.

"In the city, how are the talents?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

Yang Dongsheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yuwei City is a remote town, and it is close to the Demon God Mountain Range, and there are always demon beasts encroaching on it, so there are really not many people who have real talent and learning. ”

"Is that there?" Dongfang Shuo paused, then then asked, "So among the talents in Yuwei City, are there any people who can take on great responsibilities?"

As soon as these words came out, Yang Dongsheng's face suddenly changed slightly.

His eyes immediately showed a look of doubt.

Listening to his tone, it was like coming to Weicheng to find talents.

"This ...... It's just that I don't know, what kind of official and what kind of position is the 'great responsibility' that Lord Dongfang is talking about?"

Yang Dongsheng asked.

Dongfang Shuo's eyes sank slightly, and he opened his mouth and said, "City Lord." ”

When the words fell, Yang Dongsheng trembled.

The palpitation flashed in his eyes, but it was not very obvious, and was soon overshadowed by the calm that had been forced out.

His eyes trembled a little and looked at Dongfang Shuo, but the respectful movements in his hands did not waver at all.

"Excuse me...... What do you mean by that?"

He asked tentatively.

Dongfang Shuo looked at him, and a cold color flashed in his eyes: "What do you think?"

When he saw Dongfang Shuo say this, Yang Dongsheng's brows couldn't help frowning.

Although he has become the lord of the city for less than half a year, the originally smoky and miasma city has been in order and has achieved initial prosperity and development under his governance.

And after half a year of hard work, he can now start to enjoy the glory of becoming the lord of the city.

But Dongfang Shuo's words at this moment undoubtedly gave him a slap in the face.

"You still won't let me go. ”

Yang Dongsheng stared.

The corners of Dongfang Shuo's mouth hooked: "It's just weird, your means and abilities are too outstanding, which has aroused my interest." ”

"Is the husband innocent, but guilty?"

Yang Dongsheng said.

Dongfang Shuo shook his head: "No, you are guilty." ”

Yang Dongsheng stared: "The people don't think so. ”

"Even now, you still talk about the people?"

"Whether there is sin or not is up to the people of the world, not you alone. ”

"Do you think you know the world very well?"

"I don't think I can go into more detail about this, do I?"

"Am I a man of the world, can you read my mind?"

Dongfang Shuo's eyes showed deep meaning.

And Yang Dongsheng frowned, shook his head and said, "I don't understand." ”

"Don't give me an answer so quickly. Dongfang Shuo said, "Think about it yourself, whether you really can't understand it, or you don't want to understand." ”

These words made Yang Dongsheng's eyes stagnate.

"What do you mean by that?"

"As you just said, you think that there is no enmity between me and you, so I have no reason to kill you. ”

"Isn't it?"

Yang Dongsheng asked.

And Dongfang Shuo smiled: "Of course it is." He pointed to his head again, "Your sins are not told by the world, but they are recorded here." For the people of the world, I really have no reason to kill you. But for myself, I have no reason to let you go. ”

Yang Dongsheng stared: "What do you want to do?"

"You haven't answered my question yet, is there anyone in the city who can handle the great task?" Dongfang Shuo asked rhetorically.

"Hoo ......"

After Yang Dong let out a long breath, he said, "There are two people who have the ability to take over my position as the city lord. ”

"Then set up two city lords in the city, let them check and balance each other, so that there will be no more dominance of the situation. ”

Dongfang Shuo said with a smile.

Hearing this, Yang Dongsheng sank his gaze.

"Okay, I'll arrange it. He nodded.

Now, there is no room for him to resist.

Facing 30,000 iron horsemen from the southwest, the strength of the city is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

"As for you," Dongfang Shuo looked at Yang Dongsheng, and after a pause, he continued, "Come with me, you have to be by my side to make a contribution." ”
