Chapter 70: The Death of the City Lord

The air suddenly became tyrannical, rolling up bursts of yellow sand, which looked extremely eerie. The sky was also much lower again, and everyone felt extremely oppressed, and even breathing became a little difficult.

"Lord Tang Cheng. Wang Yan, who was lying on the ground, swallowed a mouthful of blood and said with difficulty. "Why is this happening?"

"Our honorable city lord was assassinated an hour ago, and I have someone to report that it was you who did it, of course you have to be arrested and questioned!" Tang Cheng snorted coldly again and said in a deep voice.

"What, they killed the lord of the city? Oh my God, the sand disturbance is over. ”

"How is it possible, they look like they are only twelve or thirteen years old, how can they kill the city lord. ”

"The lord of the castle is not ......"

The people around him, like ants on the stove, suddenly became frantic and suddenly made a fuss.

"What? cough cough ......" Wang Yan was excited, and was suddenly choked by a mouthful of blood, couldn't help coughing, and said with difficulty. "Something happened to the lord of the castle, what the hell is going on? cough ......"

"We just arrived in Disturbing Sand City, and we don't even know who the city lord is, how can we kill him?!" Qin Xiao, who was not far away, roared loudly, although he saw that Wang Yan was still alive, but at this time he was already covered with blood, and he looked like a waste person, Qin Xiao and the others were extremely sad.

"Who can prove that you have just entered Sand City?!" Tang Cheng glanced at Qin Xiao playfully and said with a sneer.

"Then how do you prove that we didn't just enter Sand City?" Fang He also said indignantly.

"I don't care about this, anyway, you have to go with us today!" Tang Cheng said indifferently, and suddenly yelled. "Don't take it away yet!"

The remaining soldiers around hurriedly surrounded him, escorted Wang Yan up, followed Tang Cheng, and walked towards the center of the city......

In a dimly lit stone-walled room, all kinds of torture weapons hung around the walls. Some glowed with a ghostly cold light, and some were already covered with a layer of crimson rust, as if they had just been used, and the blood stains left behind were shocking.

"Boy, don't you admit it?" In the center of the room, a middle-aged man in his thirties sat loosely on a mahogany chair, picked up the teacup on the table next to him, took a sip gently, slowly put it down, his fingertips gently tapped on the table, and looked playfully at the five teenagers tied in front of him. This person is what people call Lu Meng, the magistrate who disturbs Sand City. Tang Cheng stood respectfully beside him, and the long black whip in his hand hung straight to the ground, looking extremely weird.

Wang Yan and the five of them were all tied up, and the thick rope had been deeply embedded in their flesh like a sharp blade, and the rope had been dyed red, and occasionally a few drops of blood dropped, falling to the ground, making a ghostly sound, which looked very terrifying. Pulling their heads and hanging heavily over their shoulders, their distorted faces showed the pain they were suffering at this time. The godless eyes were full of helplessness and unwillingness, they never thought that in this place far away from the emperor of the mountain, there was such a royal law. has been tied up here for three days, and during the three days, he has been tortured all the time, and Wang Xin has not entered a drop of water, and Wang Xin has fainted several times.

"I ...... As I said, Lord Castle, no...... We didn't kill it!" Wang Yan swallowed a mouthful of blood, raised his head with difficulty, and his parched and pale lips opened slightly, making a hoarse sound.

"Haha. Lu Meng sneered and joked. "I like people who don't admit it. Haha, I believe that it won't be long before you beg to tell me!" The cold laughter echoed in the room for a long time, as if it came from the soul, Wang Yan and the others all looked at Lu Meng in fear, and couldn't help but shudder.

Lu Meng took another sip of tea and slowly stood up. Stretching his waist, twisting his stomach, snatching the long whip in Tang Cheng's hand, and shaking it a few times, he suddenly made a crackling sound, looked at Wang Yan and them with cold eyes, and walked over slowly.

"Your Excellency, your Excellency. Just as Lu Meng was about to approach Wang Yan, a shout sounded outside, Lu Meng frowned, and thought to himself, "When I was enforcing the law, no one dared to disturb, why was this little soldier so presumptuous, could something have happened?"

After a while, Tang Cheng walked down the staircase again with a heavy expression, hurriedly walked to Lu Meng's side, and whispered a few words, Lu Meng's face suddenly changed greatly, he dropped the long whip in his hand, straightened his clothes, and walked outside. Tang Cheng glanced at Wang Yan and the others, and then followed.

In the city lord's mansion, a middle-aged man was sitting in the hall, his smooth face was as smooth as a mirror, his long hair was straight to his shawl, his gray robe covered his whole body, his eyes were slightly squinted, his brows were tightly locked, and he looked at the door with a heavy face. Suddenly, I saw two figures walking in, and my face was a little better.

"My lord, when did I blow you here, the little one is far away, please forgive me. The people who came were Lu Meng and Tang Cheng, and as soon as Lu Meng entered the door, he put his hands together, arched them on his chest, and saluted with a smile on his face. Tang Cheng behind him bent his body to ninety degrees and saluted respectfully.

The gray-robed man flicked his sleeves casually and said with a solemn face. "I heard that the lord of the castle had a misfortune a few days ago, so I came to take a look. ”

"Thank you for your concern! I didn't expect the city lord to only think about the people, but in the end he was ...... like this," Lu Meng said, shaking his head pretending to sigh, and the rest of his words also stopped.

"Yes, I think I've been good friends with the city lord for many years, but I didn't expect him to go like this. It seems that this disturbing sand city is not peaceful. The gray-robed man stared at Lu Meng and said with a little doubt. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he asked with a frown. "I heard that you have found the murderer of the city lord?"

"It's not a small one, but it's true that a few murderers have been caught, and they are still being interrogated, but they have already recruited. Lu Meng secretly pinched a cold sweat, not knowing what the gray-robed man was going to do.

"Oh, take me to see them. The gray-robed man suddenly stood up and said. looked at Lu Meng with a solemn face, waiting for him to lead the way.

"This, this is not good, my lord, these little things, let us deal with the small ones, how far away the adults come, I will arrange for the adults to pick up the wind and wash the dust." Lu Meng chuckled in his heart, hurriedly said, and then turned around, ready to tell Tang Cheng to make arrangements.

"No need!" the gray-robed man snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and said in a deep voice. "I want to see who is so bold that he dares to assassinate the city lord and not lead the way?!"

At this time, Lu Meng's Eshan was already sweating, bowed his head in response, and hurriedly walked towards the door. But in my heart, it is like a river and sea, with turbulent waves.

Soon, under the leadership of Lu Meng, the three of them turned a few corners and came to an open place guarded by heavy soldiers, a few huge stones in front of them were quite weird, looking at Lu Meng and others coming, the surrounding soldiers hurriedly saluted.

"My lord, it's here. Gently wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, Lu Meng made a gesture and said softly. Immediately pressed a few times on the stone, and a boxy hole slowly appeared in front of everyone.

Lu Meng looked at the gray-robed man cautiously and walked in first. The gray-robed man took a deep breath and followed.

After descending a dozen steps, the three of them came to the dark room again. The whole room was filled with the smell of blood, and not far from the wall, five teenagers were tied to the pillar with thick ropes, their heads drooping, the whole flesh and blood were blurred, and there was still a little human appearance anywhere.

"Don't wake them up yet?!" the gray-robed man's eyes looked extremely painful, and he roared in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes" Lu Meng hurriedly saluted, and glanced at Tang Cheng behind him, who immediately took out the bucket in the corner and walked towards Wang Yan and them.

"Is this how you woke up?!" the gray-robed man looked at Lu Meng angrily, clasped his hands, and shouted loudly.

Lu Meng hurriedly walked forward and was about to pat Wang Yan's body, but when he saw Wang Yan suddenly move, he slowly raised his head, which really startled him. The roar of the gray-robed man had already awakened Wang Yan and the others, Wang Yan blinked vigorously, and a blurred figure appeared in sight. Slowly, the blurred figure became clearer and clearer, Wang Yan frowned, and said in a low voice.

"Is that you?"

The gray-robed man pursed his lips, nodded slightly, and then glared at Lu Meng, shouting, "Don't put them down quickly." He pointed to Tang Cheng behind him and shouted. "You!go prepare some meals, get the best!!hurry!"

Lu Meng was already dumbfounded at this time, except for the city lord, he had never seen anyone more fierce than this, and hurriedly took a few steps forward, letting go of Wang Yan and them one by one.

Wang Yan and the others still had any strength at this time, they were all weak on the ground, and when they touched the wound, their whole bodies trembled again. The gray-robed man hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hands, and the sword qi instantly submerged into Wang Yan's body.

The sword qi entered the body, and everyone felt as if they had soaked in a hot spring, and they couldn't help but emit a trace of **. Wang Xin also opened his hazy eyes. When he saw the gray-robed man, his eyes were full of surprise. I wanted to say something, but I saw that the gray-robed man nodded slightly to him, and he had to swallow the words that came to his mouth.

"Nameless Master, why are you here?" The gray-robed man was the owner of the Nameless Blacksmith Shop outside Ruihao Academy—Nameless. Wang Yan felt a little better, and hurriedly asked.

"I happened to be here to do some errands, but I didn't expect to hear that you were here too, and you were arrested, so I came to see you. Nameless smiled bitterly and said lightly.
