Chapter 16: Behind the Sadness
In Shengyuan City, there is a lot of vegetarianism.
The huge force that struck from nowhere turned the City Lord's Mansion into a ruin, and the people nearby were shocked and spontaneously acted one after another, and actually exhumed hundreds of bloody corpses from the ruins, none of which were alive.
It was easy to think about what had happened, and the citizens of Shengyuan were dismayed to find that their dearest city lord might have become one of these vague corpses. Because of such a thing, if the lord of the castle is still alive, he will stand up and declare his safety to the people of the city as soon as possible.
And now, those broken walls and those corpses all prove the destruction of the city lord's mansion, and also indicate that the city lord may not have escaped this catastrophe.
The residents of Shengyuan City recognized the corpses one by one, their faces blurred, but their clothes could vaguely identify the identity of the corpses. Hundreds of corpses came down, and no one matching Xu Yuanshan was found, which made people breathe a sigh of relief, but they didn't dare to believe that the city lord was really alive, but it only showed that the possibility of death had decreased a lot. Even so, more people hung white lanterns in front of their homes, as if their families were holding funerals, and many businesses in the city temporarily closed their doors to express their condolences to the lord of the castle.
The corpses of the City Lord's Mansion, whether they were recognized or not, were finally buried in one place. The mourning and music in Shengyuan City rang out, and Shengyuan City, which was usually lively and celebrated, fell into solemnity at this moment.
Many women and children with weak psychological defenses are even crying, their voices are hoarse, their tears are dry, but the sadness in their hearts is endless. Xu Yuanshan has done too many things for this city, and what he has done is obvious to all.
Xu Yuanshan is the living god in the hearts of the people, bringing peace and tranquility to Shengyuan City. And on this day, the City Lord's Mansion was destroyed, and Xu Yuanshan may also be destroyed. It turned out that the gods were not omnipotent and would die
"Who the hell wants to do this to our city lord!" The people shouted angrily.
"The murderer must be found!"
"We want to avenge the city lord!"
"Maybe we are ordinary people, maybe we don't have any strength, but we live and work in peace and contentment under the protection of the city lord, and now the city lord is in great trouble, even if we die, we must find out the murderer and avenge the city lord!"
"Those who can kill the city lord must be those extremely powerful cultivators, but we are not afraid. Unite as one, the anger of thousands of lives, and let the murderer get the retribution he deserves! ”
Now that the beloved lord of the city has been killed, how can the people not be angry? When I mourn, I am also full of anger! Although he has no power to restrain the chicken, he has a heart for revenge.
The city was full of mourning, and those ordinary people or cultivators who were only temporarily staying in Shengyuan City were all infected with this sad feeling.
Behind the sadness of the city, there are also different movements that are secretly generated.
Shengyuan City is shrouded in a layer of sad haze. Tens of thousands of people in the city, in addition to most of them are city residents, there are also all kinds of people, or hide their identities, or walk directly, forming the entire city. The city lord's mansion is now destroyed, and the position of city lord is vacant, which has greatly hindered the operation of this great city. This city, which Xu Yuanshan has been operating for many years, finally shows its heritage as a big city. Deputy City Lord Dong He urgently took over the burden, he was the son-in-law of the Wang family, the largest family outside the Shengyuan City City Lord's Mansion, although his prestige was far inferior to Xu Yuanshan, but he also had the ability to take charge of himself. In addition, under the rule of Xu Yuanshan, Shengyuan City has always been in order, and Xu Yuanshan's residual power is still there, so it is easy to restore it to its original state now.
Dong He stood in the East City Gate Tower, looked at the traffic on the streets of the city, and sighed: "I am far inferior to the city lord Xu. ”
On the side was Dong He's father-in-law, the current head of the Wang family, and he smiled: "Now Xu Yuanshan can almost be defined as death, you are now temporarily acting as the city lord, or it won't be long before you become a regular." The virtuous son-in-law should make good use of this opportunity, this time will be an opportunity for the rise of my royal family. ”
Dong He glanced at his smiling father-in-law, and faintly felt that the matter of the City Lord's Mansion was related to the Wang family, but he couldn't help but say it with suspicion in his heart, and just said: "I am willing to do my best for Shengyuan City." ”
"You must know that your qiē is given to you by the Wang family." The head of the Wang family was slightly displeased, "You have to put the Wang family first." ”
Dong He knew that his father-in-law was dissatisfied with his previous words, and his expression was complicated, so he immediately said, "Yes, the little son-in-law remembers." ”
In the remote corner of Shengyuan City, someone exchanged heads and ears, secretly conveying information.
"The master commanded that you should not act in vain to avenge him. All the hunters are temporarily under the orders of the deputy master, and now they are standing still, waiting for the orders of the deputy master. ”
"I'll get the word on"
"Also, swear to protect the young master to the death."
"The hunter is here, and the young master is here."
In the Shanhe Gate, He Yingzhuo received the news from Shengyuan City, and sneered: "It's that I underestimated Xu Yuanshan's status in the hearts of those people, but unfortunately, no matter how much trouble ordinary people make, they are just 'mantis arms', and they can't stop the huge 'car' of my Shanhemen!" ”
"Door master, according to the news from No. 1, the deputy door master accidentally let way and escaped to the Sword Pavilion, ready to expose my Shanhe Gate in the spiritual decision. If this is the case, I am afraid that my reputation will be damaged and spurned by the world. At that time, our mountains and rivers will become the target of public criticism, and other sects will also fall into the well and be unfavorable to us. He Yingzhuo said that he was an elder of Shanhemen.
"Hmph, it was indeed unexpected for the road punishment to escape, I already know the details, if it weren't for Xu Yuanshan's desperate blockage, the road punishment would have no life at all." He Yingzhuo's face was gloomy and he wanted to condense a few dark clouds, "Xingwen is not to blame for this matter, I ordered this to be done, and there is a strategy to deal with this matter, so there is no need to worry." Shan Yinan figured out that guò was a threat to my mountain and river gate, and this idea was very good, but it would be in vain. ”
He Yingzhuo's face showed anger and said: "Based on the words of road punishment alone, how can it be assessed that it was done by my mountain and river gate? Besides, it's still a question of whether he will survive to that day! If the Sword Pavilion asks him to identify my Shanhe Gate now, I will still feel a little tricky. However, after two months, even if the road punishment comes forward, it will only shoot itself in the foot! ”
"Do you want to order No. 1 to erase the road execution now?" Elders ask for instructions.
"Kill it." He Yingzhuo spit out the word softly, although the road punishment would not cause much damage to Shanhemen even if he was alive, but He Yingzhuo was happy to see that he could wipe out the hope that Shan Yinan wanted to deal with Shanhemen now. He Yingzhuo was looking forward to the arrival of that day, he could imagine how angry Shan Yinan would be at that time when the Sword Pavilion thought that he had the road punishment that caused a ruinous blow to the reputation of Shanhemen, and he died without using his effect. And the anger of Shan Yinan is the source of He Yingzhuo's happiness.
At that time, even if they were to detect the existence of No. 1, the matter would already be a foregone conclusion, and the Sword Pavilion would no longer be able to return to the sky. If the Sword Pavilion knew that the genius disciple they thought would never betray the Sword Pavilion was actually a pawn planted by my Shanhe Gate. I'm looking forward to seeing that kind of scene.
Nan alone, not only that, but I will also make you happy and sad, and happy and sad. Your state of mind will fluctuate with my manipulation, and eventually fall into a deep valley of no rebound!
