"This man is—" An old man paused, looking at the scars burned by the fire all over his body, and blood stains oozing out.

"Hell..."A woman was picking out a puppet for the child next to her at a stall on Chunxi Street, when she suddenly heard the child's screaming cry.

Seeing Shangguan Junqian's terrifying appearance, a rough-clothed man hurriedly covered the eyes of the boy in his arms with his right hand and whispered, "Don't look..."

"Come back soon!" A child begging on the street was stopped by the old man behind him, the beggar squatted outside the pharmacy, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, looking at the back without a good piece of skin, full of chain marks, and kept whispering in his mouth, "How did it burn like this.... How painful it is to endure. ”

Shangguan Junqian dragged his scarred body and walked on Chunxi Street, the most prosperous and crowded street in Longcheng, which was the only way to Shangguan Mansion. Chunxi Street runs from south to north, the south reaches the Imperial City, and at the end of the north is the Shangde Gate of the Dragon City.

He stopped and looked at the people around him, all staring at him with strange eyes, full of horror and fear. All this was known when he removed the layer of ashes on the water of Kunlun Pond, and when Shangguan Junqian saw his appearance through the reflection on the water, he even thought about falling into Zehai with Yun Shenghao, but he still persevered at the last moment.

He wanted revenge, although he didn't know who wanted their lives, but being able to launch such a large-scale attack in Dragon City was by no means as simple as an ordinary vendetta.

The sun shone on the earth, and the long knife wound on Shangguan Junqian's back was pierced by the scorching sun, and pus and blood flowed all over his back along the scars of the iron chain. He clasped his hands tightly and walked on the bluestone road with difficulty, and every footprint behind him carried a trace of blood.

In the largest mansion on the left side of Chunxi Street, two huge stone lions sit on an eight-foot-high stone pier, looking down on the bustling crowd on the street. Shangguan Junqian supported the last bit of breath, holding the stone pier to the south with both hands, and the last bit of consciousness in his eyes glanced at the stone steps piled up with white marble in front of the mansion.

"Where did you come from?" A burly, slightly chubby middle-aged man walked quickly, spat on Xingzi, and broke open the hateful-looking young man in front of him who was covered in burns and wearing only half a rag.

Shangguan Junqian grabbed the stone pier tightly with both hands, and the middle-aged man saw that he couldn't break it, so he turned his head and shouted to the guards at the gate of the mansion, "If you don't come up to help, if the little master finds out, there are beggars fooling around outside the mansion gate, and they will punish us again." ”

"Fuchen! You guy, you don't even recognize me? I am Jun Qian. Shangguan Junqian shouted out with all his strength, and the hoarse voice was completely indistinguishable. He shouted as hard as he could, his whole body falling backwards, and his hands slowly loosened from the white marble pier.

Gong Fuchen is the commander of the guards in the front yard of Shangguan Mansion, responsible for the security of the front yard of the entire mansion, and often accompanies Shangguan Jun to go out of the city to hunt, he knows him, he was stunned for a moment, looked at the young man in front of him who was not human, froze, and squeezed out three words in his mouth, "Little young master?" ”

He hurriedly held up Shangguan Junqian, who was only covered by half a rag, and shouted to the guards who rushed behind him, "It's Young Master Junqian, hurry!" Fast! Go and report to the master. ”

One of the guards hurriedly rushed into the mansion to report, and several other guards helped put Shangguan Junqian on Gong Fuchen's back, and everyone escorted the two of them into the mansion quickly. With a "boom", the gate of the Shangguan Mansion was closed, and the guards knew that something big had happened when they saw this situation, and the guards in the front yard all lined up on both sides of the gravel road made of white marble.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! The "Quenching Dragon Bell" in the front yard of Shangguan Mansion suddenly rang, and the guards of the front, north, west, and south courtyards of the mansion hurriedly lined up in the courtyard as if they were facing a great enemy. The Shangguan Mansion will ring the "Quenching Dragon Bell" every time the enemy is in the present, once the bell rings, there will be a major event in the palace, and the last time the bell rang was a hundred years ago.

At this moment, the guards of the north courtyard were all kneeling on the bluestone floor, and everyone knocked their heads on the ground, and no sound could be heard in the entire courtyard. A heart-rending cry came from the small building by the lotus pond in the courtyard, "Check it for the old man!" Examine! Be sure to find the real culprit! An old man sat paralyzed on the vermilion lacquer carved Taishi chair, he tried his best to hold on to the chair, and looked into the room, his eyes were bloodshot.

Shangguan Gu, as the head of the Shangguan family of the four major families of Dragon City, and the third generation of the Shangguan family, he thought that the Shangguan family would be extinct in his generation, and he never wanted to have a son on his sixtieth birthday. He has loved Shangguan Junqian since he was a child, and as the only seedling of the Shangguan family, he is even more cared for by everyone, and he never thought that he would be burned like this now.

"Master, there was only one fire in Dragon City last night." Gong Fuchen knelt on the ground and replied in a low voice.

"Kunlun Pool?" Shangguan Gu hesitated, he knew that something big had happened when he saw the Dongshan fire last night, but he never thought that this matter would fall on his own family, and he was still his precious son.

"Yes." Gong Fuchen nodded, and replied worriedly, although the front yard is not Shangguan Junqian's personal guard, but the young master has now fallen into such a situation, and everyone can not escape the responsibility.

"Send someone to investigate immediately, my son, you must not be so unclear and inexplicable..."Shangguan Gu's right hand clenched into a fist, and the wooden chair beside him was shattered with a "bang".

"Yes, I'll take someone to check it myself" Gong Fuchen arched his hand and was about to exit the door.

"Wait..."Shangguan Gu shouted to Gong Fuchen, who had just walked to the door, he thought for a moment, Shangguan Junqian is a strong person, he looks like this now, he must not let others know, the investigation of the murderer can only be carried out in private, and it cannot be known all over the city.

"What else does the master command?" Gong Fuchen was still a little uneasy, he couldn't guess Shangguan Gu's intentions, the quenching dragon bell had sounded, and all the guards in the palace would face an unpredictable fate, whether it was life or death, everything was in the hands of Shangguan Gu.

"Check quietly, Jun Qian.... It is the only successor of my Shangguan Mansion, and I must not..."Shangguan Gu's eyes were slightly closed, and he waved his right hand to signal him to step back.

"My subordinates understand." Gong Fuchen hurriedly nodded to accept the order, he walked to the door, looked at the guards of the North Courtyard kneeling on the ground in the courtyard, couldn't help but turn around, and asked worriedly, "I don't know..."

"What else do you have to do?" Shangguan Gu said lightly.

"What should the guards of the North Courtyard do?" Gong Fuchen hurriedly knelt on the ground, and when he asked about it, he was informed that it would cause thunder and anger, but he had to ask, hundreds of lives were in one thought.

"Kill, they are Jiu'er's personal guards, and they can't escape the blame for this matter." Shangguan Gu's eyes were full of murderous anger at this time, and he only had murder, revenge, and revenge for his only son in his heart.

“.... Obey" Gong Fuchen arched his hand and slowly retreated. He let out a long breath, and the guards of the North Courtyard could not escape death, but Shangguan Gu did not mention the guards of the other Courtyards.
