Chapter Fifty-Nine: Grievances
The people who did not know the truth under the review stage booed, including the old appraiser, Tong Xiangyu, Bai Piaopiao and others, and the second monk was puzzled. [Ran^Text^Library] []. []. Only a few people such as He Shuai, Liu Peng, and Xingzhi secretly gave a thumbs up to the generals on the stage.
"Old city lord, what's going on!" Finally, a squire in the audience began to ask, and then more voices came out of the crowd: "Old city lord, isn't the general always trying to harm you!?" "Isn't the general the real murderer?" "Wasn't this mutiny an attempt to overthrow the general's rule? Isn't it all written on the leaflets? What's more, he picked up the leaflet he had just handed out and asked.
The old city lord first smiled kindly, and then waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, which showed the awe of the city residents towards him. I only heard him say slowly: "Three years ago, I led 7 guards out of the city to hunt, and I was indeed attacked by the enemy, but this person is definitely not our current General Zhao, but a spy from Burning Snow City, unfortunately the rest of my 6 personal guards were all poisoned......" Speaking of this, the old city lord sighed deeply, and said, "I can clearly realize that this attack was premeditated for a long time, and the poisoned arrows they used were specially made to seal their throats, and the number of them was as many as 100 people." Moreover, there were also enemy spies in Piaofeng City at that time, so I had no choice but to hide in the bushes and wait and see what happened. The old city lord looked at General Zhao and motioned for him to speak back.
General Zhao was very grateful to the old city lord for giving him the opportunity to explain, and took a step forward, first hugged his fist, and then bowed deeply to the people of Piaofeng City under the stage, before speaking: "The city lord disappeared in front of my eyes like this, and all six of my brothers were killed. I wanted to fight the enemy to the death, but I had no choice but to rob them of a fast horse and flee back to the city, and gathered a few of my brothers to form a death squad to return to the place of the incident to find the whereabouts of the city lord. However, the forest was no longer a human figure, even the corpses of the six dead brothers were gone, and even the poisoned arrows shot at the tree poles and the blood on the ground were all gone. ”
General Zhao recalled the past, he couldn't help but burst into tears, he calmed down for a long time before he said: "We returned to Piaofeng City in frustration, but, a more terrible thing followed, I found that there were many 'people' in the city that I had no influence on at all, everyone knows that I grew up in Piaofeng City, although I can't name all the city's citizens, but at least they are familiar, but these people are never seen by me." I realized that there was a powerful force behind the scenes, and I immediately took the opportunity to block the news of the old city lord's disappearance and take control of the entire Floating Maple City! You must know that the old city lord is the spiritual pillar of our Piaofeng City, once the news of his murder or disappearance spreads, not to mention that our city will not be chaotic, even other cities will take advantage of the situation, and even attack our city! However, after all, the paper could not contain the fire, and the people also found out the news of the disappearance of the old city lord. I had no choice but to establish myself as a general and take over the military and political power of Piaofeng City. I know that many people think that I have harmed the old city lord, but I really have never thought of it, and I dare not think of it. Speaking of this, the general cried bitterly, and all the grievances of the years broke out at once.
The old city lord stepped forward and patted General Zhao's back to show comfort, and then continued: "I have been secretly observing the movements of the group that assassinated me in the woods, their methods are clean and neat, and they are even more professional in handling the aftermath, these people cannot be the subjects of my Piaofeng City, then there is only one explanation, they are professional killers cultivated by hostile cities, and even the Royal Forest Army!" I followed them all the time, and after they had dealt with the scene, they went deep into the woods to meet with a leader who was the younger brother of the general of Blazing Snow City, and now the adjutant of the army of Drifting Maple City. The adjutant is a very deep city, he first destroyed his original appearance with a red iron, and then killed one of his subordinates with a knife, and used human skin disguise to become his current appearance, even if he is captured and killed, no one will know his true identity! ”
He Shuai inadvertently turned around, only to see that the young man next to the old appraiser turned pale when he heard the Royal Forester, and perhaps he also felt his gaffe return to his former calm expression in a moment. But all this and handsome have been seen in their eyes.
The people in the audience were all talking to each other in disbelief, no wonder the adjutant of the barracks was always smiling and expressionless, it turned out that he had always been wearing a human skin mask. After everyone calmed down, the old city lord continued: "On that day, the adjutant did not stop and led this group of people into Piaofeng City, and successfully entered the barracks. As General Zhao took over the military and political power of Piaofeng City, he won the trust of General Zhao in a short period of time with his ingenuity and took on the important position of adjutant. Later, he secretly assassinated many soldiers and generals who were loyal to me, and spread these evils to General Zhao, and let his subordinates brazenly claim that General Zhao had plotted against me and secretly killed me, and that your general was a good general. ”
After listening to the old city lord's explanation, the doubts in the hearts of the people for many years were also solved, and they couldn't help but be moved by the general's deep understanding of righteousness, and they also hated the wolf ambitions of those who plotted against the law. The old city lord finally breathed a sigh of relief after speaking, although he said every truth, but also for himself to not show up for three years to go out to travel the rivers and mountains to find a big reason, the old appraiser and he forgot to know the truth of the matter by looking at his expression, and laughed in his heart: "This old boy goes out to play, he can really live in vain!" ”
"Old City Lord, we should attack Snow City and avenge you!" I don't know who in the crowd shouted, and then countless people responded: "Attack Snow City!" "Avenge the old city lord!" "We are all actively participating in the war, and we are bound to set foot in the scorching snow city!"
The old city lord said with a smile: "It's not up to me whether to attack Burning Snow City, the world has long been the world of you young people, and the second city lord of Piaofeng City is invited to come to power, and he will take over the position of the city lord in my place in the future, leading the people to the peak of Piaofeng City!" Saying that, he waved to Heshuai, who was still thinking about the question of the old appraiser's closed disciple brother just now, and when he heard the master call himself, he stumbled onto the stage. His appearance was extraordinary, in exchange for the laughter of the people and players, and even the brothers of the dynasty couldn't help but turn their faces and shake their shoulders fiercely.
It was the first time that He Shuai was in front of so many people in the audience, and he had no microphone but to shout: "That, hello everyone!" ”
"Good young city lord!" The crowd shouted in unison. There may be many players in the audience who have not seen him, but his name and deeds have long been passed down in the mouths of players: what is the boss Dryad, the burning of the forest, the first gang that subdues and oppresses players with the power of one person, and the leader of the emerging power dynasty...... However, the people all knew that he was the leader and planner of this mutiny, and they were all blessed to see the old city lord again, so they also respected Heshuai very much.
