Chapter 19: The First Fire of the New City Lord?
"Do you think I'm too ruthless?" Wen Biyao asked, looking at the City Lord's Mansion shrouded in the shadow of death.
Li Changan lowered his head, looked at Gu Shan and the corpses of the man in black, and did not speak.
"There's nothing wrong with them living in the Lord's Mansion, they live in the Lord's Mansion, and that's sometimes ...... wrong. Wen Biyao said softly, as if reminding herself and the people around her.
Fengtian City shook, because a major earthquake caused by the ancient mountain was suppressed by Wen Baguio, the princess of Wen Kingdom, and the people slowly calmed down.
The city cannot be left without an owner for a day, and within a few days, the new city lord was airborne, and took over the Fengtian City Seal in the hands of Wen Baguio, dominating one side.
However, all this has nothing to do with Li Changan.
The night in Fengtian City is approaching, but there are still quite a few people in the city, a lively and extraordinary appearance, and there are patrol guards patrolling around the city, guarding the peace of the late returnees.
Li Changan and Wen Biyao walked down the street, silent all the way.
"Three months later, it will be the national test of Wenguo, and all the cities in the territory will send people to participate, I hope that when the time comes, you can come to Wenguo and participate in this grand event, if you want, you will participate in the name of Fengtian City. ”
"Then what if I don't go?" Li Changan said.
"Whether you go or not, the quota in Fengtian City is all yours. Wen Biyao's footsteps did not stop, her voice was crisp, leaving Li Changan alone, a little stunned.
Watching Wen Biyao's figure gradually disappear into the moonlight, Li Changan's inner emotions were constantly changing, and finally sighed and walked in the opposite direction to Wen Biyao.
The two figures stretched longer and longer under the moonlight, and gradually drifted apart, incompatible with the lively atmosphere of the city, and deviated by a few miles......
Late at night, a little spark in the city of Mukden shone brighter, and the brighter it became, and then it turned into a scorching fire, and the fire was monstrous!
Someone was awakened by the firelight, banging on the door of the neighbor's house, and the streets of Fengtian City in the middle of the night, the crowd was bustling, looking at the burned place, and the scalp was numb: "The new city lord has just taken office, and someone has lit this first fire, which is really bold!"
"This seems to be the tavern of the Wang family next door, right?" someone exclaimed, and rushed into the moonlight.
"Let's go, the new city lord will come in a while, and if the anger implicates us, it will be over. Someone shouted loudly to evacuate the crowd, but the crowd of onlookers looked at each other, and no one left, so they simply stood in place in a wait-and-see state, watching the fire engulf the tavern little by little.
"The city lord is here!" I don't know who shouted, and the noisy crowd instantly fell silent and looked at the figure in the center of the running guard.
"Let's go. Someone whispered, pulling the people around him away from the crowd and disappearing into the night.
"Fence it off. With a wave of his arm, the guards stood with silver spears, divided into two teams, and surrounded the burned restaurant, which was impassable.
The crowd of onlookers took a deep breath, and their hanging hearts slowly let go.
The new city lord looked at the restaurant that was gradually engulfed by the flames, turned his back to his hand, and watched quietly without saying a word.
"Restaurant, my restaurant!" In the night, a bloated figure cried, getting closer and closer, looking at the house that had been burned down more than half, and crying continuously.
"It is the king's treasurer, and the burnt tavern is his. ”
Looking at the heart-rending middle-aged man who was crying, there was a trace of pity in everyone's hearts, and this life's work was buried by a ruthless fire.
"City Lord, City Lord, you quickly order them to put out the fire! this tavern is my life!" the shopkeeper of the king crawled and collapsed at the feet of the new city lord, and his eyes glistened with the last glimmer of hope.
"Don't say it's a tavern, even if ten taverns are burned, you don't need me, the city lord, to be there in person, now, do you understand?" Hearing this, the king's shopkeeper turned pale, and the figure paralyzed on the ground became more and more weak.
The crowd of onlookers was silent until the tavern was burned to the ground in the eyes of all.
"Go home!" the city lord ordered, and many silver spears that emitted cold light in the night instantly melted into the darkness and quietly left, leaving behind a ruin.
"It's over, it's over, it's all over. The bloated man sitting on the ground looked at the scorched black patches and his eyes were blank.
"This fire can't be set by the City Lord's Mansion, could it be that this Wang Shopkeeper has annoyed the New City Lord?"
Seeing the lively crowd of onlookers, their hearts trembled, they didn't expect that the city lord was not here to put out the fire, but was afraid that the fire would be extinguished.
is so strong, no one dares to step forward and touch the mold.
With the passage of time, the fire decreased, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dissipated, as for the figure sitting on the ground, now, I am afraid that no one will go to his side to warm up.
Not far away, on the roof of an inn, Li Changan sat on the ground, taking in everything just now.
He set the fire, but he didn't expect it to accept Wen Baguio's love.
In the meantime, Li Changan was a little distracted, looking at the moonlight in the sky, and his consciousness sank into his mind.
In his mind, the Ten Thousand Dao Diagram sometimes floated, sometimes silent, but the lines on the first ancient coffin were vivid, in stark contrast to the other dull coffins.
Li Changan vaguely remembered that the lines that flowed out when he was injured were absorbed by the Wandao diagram in his body, and the lines outlined by his own blood were used as a guide, but at this time, although the lines on the first ancient coffin were bright, they were intermittent and not particularly complete.
"Could it be that there is not enough blood?" Li Changan frowned, cut his palm, and the blood dripped down the palm prints, which did not cause any reaction in the ancient coffin in his body.
"As a thing of the origin, why is this Ten Thousand Dao Diagram the appearance of six ancient coffins? Is the thing of the origin a martial art? a spiritual decision? or a spiritual weapon? Li Changan has no clue. Li Changan thought about it again and again, but he really couldn't figure it out. I simply didn't think about it anymore, came back to my senses, and watched the moonlight in the sky.
"The fifteen-year-old Enlightenment Realm can only be regarded as average, but who can know, my cultivation has only been for three months. Li Changan looked at a meteor in the sky and muttered to himself.
Mukden City, the city lord's mansion.
Although it was late at night, the lights in the city lord's mansion were still bright, and the new city lord had not changed the original pattern, and everything was as usual.
At the same time, a figure galloped in the direction of the city gate, the sound of horses' hooves, approaching the city lord's mansion, turned over and dismounted, looking at its appearance, it was undoubtedly a soldier defending the city.
Within a few moments, a letter was delivered to the new city lord.
The man took the letter, did not hurry to open the envelope, turned around and walked a few steps to present it to the delicate girl sitting on the throne of the city lord.
The girl opened the envelope, and there were no letters in it, only five copper coins sinking at the bottom of the envelope.
The girl was stunned for a moment and smiled lightly: "Interesting." ”
