Chapter Seventy-Six: Cangzhou's Past Surfaces
On a certain street in Cangzhou City, a large group of people and horses dressed in black tough armor and armed with sharp knives and spears walked towards the onlookers in an orderly manner. The sharp spear slammed forward, stabbing towards the people without hesitation, stabbing away some of the people who wanted to stop the army and give Sun Shengyang time to escape.
"Lord City Lord, help, this Diao people want to kill me!" Seeing the city lord coming over with the army, Song Junde saw the savior, and shouted for help to the city lord standing at the front.
"What kind of bullshit city lord are you, little white face, this person robbed the people's girls in broad daylight, you don't care?" Sun Shengyang did not stop Song Junde's escape, and watched Song Junde run behind the city lord and look at himself proudly.
Sun Shengyang raised his hand and fiddled with his nails, and then glanced at the city lord with disdain without saying a word, and said indifferently.
"This young man doesn't seem to be from Cangzhou City, in the city lord Wu Junyu of Cangzhou City, I don't know if there is anyone to prove what the young man said?" City Lord Wu Junyu smiled, not angry, but after looking around with his eyes, he spread his hands and asked Sun Shengyang.
Sure enough, the onlookers were hindered by the majesty of the city lord, and none of them dared to speak, although Sun Shengyang already had this premonition, but he also had to sigh that the world was cold.
"I testify. I don't know what the city lord will do with this young master of the Song family?" The surrounding people didn't dare to speak, but it didn't mean that Lu Feng, who had been watching the play, didn't speak. As soon as the words fell, Lu Feng floated down from the window on the second floor of the restaurant, stood beside Sun Shengyang, looked at the city lord and said.
Lu Feng was also a little surprised in his heart, this Wu Junyu was a little too young, Cangzhou City was located on the border of the empire, even if he was not a warlike general as the city lord, but he should be an experienced veteran, a white-faced scholar was indeed a little inappropriate.
"Oh, this young man, you can't talk nonsense. Wu Junyu didn't know Lu Feng, and when he heard someone speak, he dared to question his judgment, and Wu Junyu was also angry in his heart, but his expression was still the same as that of a son.
It's just that the eyes that looked at Lu Feng revealed threats and intimidation. Lu Feng naturally saw Wu Junyu's warning, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and still said calmly to Wu Junyu: "Yes, I was eating just now, I did see it, is there anything wrong?"
"Haha, no problem, since someone is present, then I will review it carefully. Someone came, escorted Song Junde back to the City Lord's Mansion, and waited for me to go back and strictly examine him. I don't know if that's the case, but the young man is still satisfied?"
Wu Junyu laughed loudly, with Wu Junyu's scheming, how could he not know that Lu Feng and Sun Shengyang were together, raised his hand and waved his hand, and asked his subordinates to escort Song Junde away. From beginning to end, Song Junde did not resist, and glared at Lu Feng and Sun Shengyang intentionally or unintentionally before leaving.
After seeing Song Junde being escorted away, Wu Junyu turned his gaze to Lu Feng and said with a smile. It's just that that smile looks too hypocritical in Lu Feng's eyes.
"The lord of the city is impartial and upright, and admires it in his heart, and if there is nothing to do, then he will retire in the next place. After raising his hand and bowing his hand to Wu Junyu, Lu Feng turned around and wanted to leave.
"Shaoxia is slow, I don't know the name of Shaoxia, although my city lord's mansion is not big, but I want to ask Shaoxia to move to the cold house, I don't know if it's good?"
"City Lord's Mansion, thank you for the city lord's good intentions, in Xia Luchen, it's just a civilian, it's better not to go, so I will leave, and there will be a period later." Lu Feng stopped and turned his head slightly, and then said lightly. After finishing speaking, he continued to walk forward, completely ignoring what Wu Junyu was thinking behind him.
Seeing this, Wu Jun didn't stop him any longer, waved his hand, and left in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion with his subordinates, and the surrounding crowd also looked at the direction of Lu Feng's departure with admiration.
"Feng, why didn't you go up and beat him just now, what kind of bullshit city lord brought Song Junde back, he must have let him go. After the two of them went around in a circle, after returning to the Ling family, Sun Shengyang said to Lu Feng indignantly.
"Of course I know this, this city lord is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the city is extremely deep, so it is difficult to deal with. Do you know who the prime man in black and gold armor behind Wu Junyu was just now?" Lu Feng returned to the room, sat down, touched his chin with one hand, and then asked Sun Shengyang.
"Damn, how do I know, just ask Ling Gaoze's old horseman. Sun Shengyang is still obsessed with Ling Gaoze's things to hide from him, and he is called an old horseman.
"Forget it, it's getting late, wait, there may be guests tonight. Lu Feng looked through the window of the room, looking at the cold moon hanging high in the sky outside, most of it was covered by thick dark clouds, and the corners of Lu Feng's mouth rose slightly.
"Guest?" Sun Shengyang didn't quite understand Lu Feng's words, but after watching Lu Feng walk onto the bed and close his eyes to recuperate, Sun Shengyang also shrugged his shoulders boredly and sat down in a daze at the window.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, the dark clouds gradually completely block the moonlight, the whole Cangzhou City seems to fall into endless darkness, and there are a few lanterns hanging outside the streets, and the faint candlelight in the lanterns is like a lighthouse that illuminates the darkness with a slight light.
Suddenly, Lu Feng, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, looked out the window, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his lips opened slightly and said lightly: "It's here." ”
Sun Shengyang on the side was awakened by Lu Feng's words, and then saw Lu Feng push open the door, jumped, jumped on the roof and ran in a certain direction, Sun Shengyang rubbed his eyes, and then followed Lu Feng away.
Lu Feng has been running wildly, Sun Shengyang is also following behind, the two have already left Cangzhou City, the faint candlelight behind them is gradually moving away, until they run to a secluded forest outside Cangzhou City, Lu Feng's figure slowly falls.
The dark clouds above the sky slowly drifted, slowly revealing the moonlight, and the cold and windy night, under the illumination of the cold moonlight, looked particularly bleak.
With the faint moonlight, under a big tree not far in front of Lu Feng, a figure in the prime of life in a pitch-black suit stood there quietly.
Lu Feng slowly walked a few steps towards the figure and then stopped, the figure turned around slowly, and a black cloth on his face covered his original appearance. He looked at Lu Feng with blazing eyes and said, "You are not from Cangzhou, why did you come here, this is not the place you should come to, let's leave quickly." ”
"What should I come, what should I not come, if I come, I will be safe, since my eyes are hinted at during the day, why should I hide my eyes and ears at night, so I make a mystery?" Lu Feng smiled slightly and said indifferently at this figure.
"Hehe, Shaoxia is really not an ordinary person, but I still have to advise the two of you that it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and it is better to leave quickly. The prime man ripped off the black cloth covering his face, and it was the one wearing black and gold armor who stood behind Wu Junyu during the day.
"I don't know who Your Excellency is? As a member of the City Lord's Mansion, you are not afraid that your City Lord will trouble you at this moment? You know, we are openly against your City Lord during the day. Seeing the face of the person in front of him, Lu Feng was not surprised, as if he had known it for a long time.
"I'm Tian Zhenguo, the deputy city lord of Cangzhou City, hehe, what if you know, Cangzhou City is no longer the original Cangzhou City, hey. Tian Zhenguo first introduced himself, then laughed miserably, looked at the direction of Cangzhou City from afar, and sighed lonely.
After Lu Feng heard this, after glancing at Sun Shengyang beside him, he stepped forward and patted Tian Zhenguo on the shoulder, and said to him, "I don't know how we can help?"
"Forget it, unless the imperial power comes, what can you do, but unfortunately the emperor is far away, and the imperial capital may not know about Cangzhou City at all. Tian Zhenguo's eyes first flashed, and then quickly dimmed, looked up at the two teenagers in front of him, and continued to sigh.
"Hey, if you don't say anything, how do you know we can't help you. Sun Shengyang, who was beside him, really couldn't stand such a grinding conversation, and then stepped forward and said to the listless Tian Zhenguo.
"Well, I don't know when I'm going to die, so I'll just complain to you. Half a year ago, Cangzhou City was still a prosperous scene, but since the old city lord disappeared for no reason and left a suicide note saying that Wu Junyu was appointed.
Cangzhou City has fallen into deep trouble, I have followed the old city lord for so many years, although the suicide note is indeed the old city lord's handwriting, but in my understanding, the old city lord will not be so hasty. And according to my observation in the past half a year, this Wu Junyu is very likely to be a member of the Water Night Empire.
After Wu Junmei took office, he vigorously supported the Song family and suppressed the Ling family. The Ling family was originally the largest family in Cangzhou City, and they had an excellent relationship with the old city lord, and they were also very good to the people of Cangzhou. It's a pity to be at this point now. ”
In the end, Tian Zhenguo's expression was extremely lonely, those eyes were blazing, first the nostalgia for the old city lord, then the hatred for the new city lord, and finally the helplessness for Cangzhou City.
Lu Feng looked at Tian Zhenguo in front of him, judging by the slightest trace of Xuan Qi left by the rush just now, Lu Feng was sure that this deputy city lord must be a veteran who killed the enemy in blood on the battlefield, and he could force a veteran to such a point, it seems that the affairs of Cangzhou City are indeed not easy to handle.
"Okay, I've said what I should say, you guys go quickly. I hope that you will have the opportunity to spread the news of Cangzhou City in the future, if you can let the emperor know, then the people of Cangzhou will suffer less. Tian Zhenguo stood up straight, retracted his lonely thoughts, and said urgingly to Lu Feng and the others.
"Deputy City Lord Tian, although I can't let the people from the imperial capital come over now, I don't know if this can help you?" Lu Feng did not turn around and leave, but took out a token from his arms and handed it to Tian Zhenguo.
Tian Zhenguo casually took the token handed by Lu Feng, glanced at it casually, and then his eyes were extremely shocked, and he said incoherently: "This is Xingzun? Tian Zhenguo, the deputy city lord of Cangzhou City, meet Prince Xingzun!"
