Leaving Rock City, Shi Yong did not hesitate for a second, and went directly towards the territory of the Lion Clan.

Summer is over, and the yellowing leaves herald that it is now the autumn gods who rule the world. Speaking of which, this is the most popular of the four seasons gods, but no one has ever seen it, so the existence forms of the various tribes of the barbarian tribes in the north are different, and they are very different.

The autumn god of the Niu clan is a middle-aged man and amiable.

The autumn god of the Tiger Clan is a fat aunt with round breasts, round buttocks, round arms, and round legs.

The autumn god of the Eagle Clan is an old man who is always smiling.

The autumn god of the Leo tribe is an old woman with a giant hair ornament on her head, like a Mexican corn hat in the era of civilization, filled with ears of wheat and fruit.

Riding on horseback, Shi Yong crossed the border between the two clans, and he couldn't wait to return to his city.

The city of Broken Gold is now in the harvest period, and now is the right time to go back. The people below must be let know that the lord of the castle is still alive, and at the same time a new tax rate for next year will be enacted. Shi Yong carefully considered that the tax would be lower than this year, so as to reassure people, especially those civilians who had lost their families.

On the way, he has been thinking about corn and potatoes, including Tianhao's conversation with himself in prison. Shi Yong felt that he vaguely seemed to have grasped something, but he couldn't find specific clues.

Directly ahead, the border checkpoint can be seen in the distance. It was a tower that stood inside the deer and moat, heavily guarded by wooden walls, and dozens of wooden houses scattered around the perimeter. Relying on the nearby terrain and mountains, it formed a small military stronghold, which was regularly transported from the direction of Broken Gold City.

Faintly enough to see a few lion soldiers standing on the tower, Shi Yong felt that his heart suddenly became hot, and he couldn't help but clamp the horse's belly with his legs, urging the mount under his crotch to speed up.

The faces of his wife and his two sons came to mind...... Shi Yong is a man with a strong family concept, and he can't wait to return to the Broken Gold City, hug them tightly, and kiss them fiercely one by one.

"Whoosh!"

A feather arrow shot from the tower, firmly nailed to the ground about three meters away from the horse's head, Shi Yong, who urged the horse to gallop, was scared out of a cold sweat, and hurriedly strangled the reins, and the horse who was blocked by the momentum suddenly raised the horse's hooves, accompanied by a violent roar, and was forced to jump sideways.

"Bastard, how dare you ......"

As soon as this foul language was uttered, before the rest of the sentence was finished, six heavily armed lion soldiers immediately rushed out of the sentry post, holding spears in their hands, lining up along the deer bar, pointing the sharp tips of their spears at Shi Yong.

"Are you blind? It's me ......" Shi Yong was angry from his heart, and he scolded on his horse, he immediately controlled his anger and explained in a furious voice: "I am the city lord of Broken Gold City, get out of the way immediately!" ”

Not all soldiers knew themselves as the lord of the city.

The soldiers looked at each other, but no one did what Shi Yong said.

At this moment, a commander in half-armor hurried from the tower, he passed through the spear formation of soldiers, forcefully moved a gap between the deer bars that was passable, walked quickly to Shi Yong, grabbed the reins tied to the horse's head, and said excitedly: "My lord, are you back?" ”

Shi Yong glanced at the hundred-headed pattern on the armor of the left arm of the visitor, then moved his gaze to the other side's face, carefully studied it for a few seconds, and said uncertainly: "...... Are you Yongzhi? ”

He remembered that this person used to be his personal guard, and the year before last, he was promoted to the head of the hundred people and sent to the border post as the commander.

Yongzhi nodded hurriedly, he grabbed the reins, and without saying a word, dragged the horse into the woods by the roadside. Although Shi Yong had doubts in his heart, he did not object and let the other party move.

This place is relatively secluded, Yongzhi glanced sideways at the sentry post in the distance, turned around, lowered his voice, and said anxiously, "My lord, why are you back?" ”

His tone and voice made Shi Yong's heart sink suddenly: "What's wrong?" ”

"Your Majesty issued a decree a few months ago, declaring that you are a rebel." Yongzhi's next words made Shi Yong fall into an ice cave, and his hands and feet were cold: "The city lord of Broken Gold City has been replaced, and going back now is tantamount to throwing yourself into a net." ”

Shi Yong's eyes widened, bloodshot eyes occupied his sockets at a visible speed, and his face was full of disbelief: "You...... What did you say? ”

The terrible decree comes from Roaring City.

The lion king's rash army galloped to aid the capital of the pig tribe, but he didn't want Fangfang City to be broken by the Niu clan early, he thought that the direction of the broken gold city reacted quickly, and Shi Yong led an army of 50,000 even if he could not fundamentally change the war situation, at least he could hold back the Niu people, and when the main force of the lion clan arrived, they would work together to eat it.

The situation has turned the lion king's vision into a void. The sentry at the front came with the news———— the main division of the Broken Golden City was attacked Yong, and the whole army was annihilated. Tens of thousands of lion soldier corpses were left at the scene, and the rest were missing.

The enraged lion king could only turn to withdraw the army, he deeply hated Shi Yong for being stupid, failed to let himself complete the strategic concept, and in anger, deprived Shi Yong of the position of city lord, and issued an edict declaring Shi Yong a traitor to the lion clan.

Just a city lord, and a useless waste, such a person has no sense of existence in the lion king's heart, and if he dies, he will die, save food, and by the way, he can also take back the direct jurisdiction of the broken gold city.

Shi Yong felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his mind was in chaos, and he completely lost his ability to think.

After a long time, his face turned pale and he made a trembling voice: "...... No...... I didn't...... I didn't betray Your Majesty, I really didn't betray. ”

Yongzhi deeply felt Shi Yong's promotion of himself back then, and lowered his voice and patiently advised: "My lord, you better go quickly!" If you insist on going to the Broken Gold City, it will be a dead end! ”

“…… I will meet the king and make everything clear. Shi Yong's heart was full of unwillingness.

"You can't get to Roaring City." Yongzhi sighed and shook his head: "Your Majesty has already issued a reward, whether you capture your head alive or bring it back, you can get a large sum of money, and you can also get the position of the head of a hundred." Fortunately, you took all the veterans from the outpost last time, and now they are recruits from other places, and they don't know you, otherwise it would be unimaginable. ”

"I didn't surrender!" Shi Yong's eyes burned with rage: "Even if I was locked up in prison by the Niu people, I never bowed my head to them. Why did the king do this to me? ”

Yongzhi looked at him sympathetically: "My lord, you better go!" The world is so big, where can it not be accommodated? Besides, your family is dead, and they ......"

"What did you say?" Shi Yong once again had the feeling that his heart was being pinched hard, he jumped off the horse, grabbed Yongzhi's arm with both hands, trembled his body, and asked through gritted teeth: "You, do you say it again?" ”

"The new city lord killed your family, your parents, wife and children, including the entire family, were not spared." Yongzhi's tone was calm, revealing a deep helplessness: "He announced that your property is illegal gains, and all of them will be confiscated and handed over." Your family...... It was distributed to the civilians of the city. ”

The last sentence pierced Shi Yong's heart like a knife, he slowly let go of his fingers, and took several steps back, a tree blocked his crooked body, not letting him lose his balance and fall.

There was no trace of blood on his pale face, Shi Yong felt that all the strength in his body was drained, his body was leaning against the trunk of the tree and sliding weakly, his eyes were empty, and he muttered to himself: "...... How can they do that? I'm so good to them, Broken Gold is the city with the lowest tax rate in the entire race, and no one has ever starved to death under my rule. They...... I broke up my family, my son ......"

Yongzhi walked over slowly, squatted down, he hesitated for a few seconds, and said in a low voice: "The new city lord issued an announcement, declaring that you are a traitor, and you have united with the Niu people to create a trap, and all the soldiers who accompanied you on the expedition were killed...... They lost their families, and the whole city of Broken Gold was full of crying during that time. ”

Shi Yong half-tilted his body, fear and anger entangled in his mind, and salty tears slipped silently from the corners of his eyes: "I'm not thin on them, don't you...... Isn't there anyone standing up to me to do justice? ”

Yongzhi opened his mouth, then lowered his head: "...... Of course...... They were all dead, and they were all killed. ”

When he raised his head again, through the hazy vision, Shi Yong saw that Yongzhi was the same as himself, tears drawing wet marks on his face.

"Like me, they uphold the dignity and integrity of warriors. They are brave people who really dare to speak up and speak up for you. Your Excellency, the guards around you, including some of the officials in the city, have addressed the Lord of the New City, asking for your family to be spared, and asking to see Your Majesty and ask for your forgiveness...... Because there were too many people, the new city lord pretended to agree, and suddenly sent troops to kill people afterwards. ”

"Many of them are my friends."

"I'm ashamed not to stand with them."

"Please, go, don't go to the Broken Gold City. I am a despicable villain who survives in secret, I did not die with them then, and I have no cheekiness to beg your forgiveness now...... Let's go, this is my last piece of advice to you, never come back. ”

……

When Shi Yong rushed into Rock City like a madman, the people had just finished the grand sacrificial ceremony, and everyone's faces were full of laughter, celebrating the harvest season bestowed by the gods.

The galloping horse was like a chariot, ignoring the warnings of the guards and rushing into the city gate, the heavy hooves of the horses woke up the people, disturbed the celebratory atmosphere, brought panic and fear, countless pairs of eyes watched the heavily armored guards rush from both sides of the street, brandishing spears and smashing the knee bones of the horses, Shi Yong was thrown far away from the horse's back under the action of great inertia, fell heavily to the ground, and could not get up for half a day.

The soldiers escorted Shi Yong into the City Lord's Mansion and came to Tianhao.

His clothes were in tatters, his face was cut by sharp pebbles, there was a large abrasion on his left cheek, there were obvious bruises on his arms, his hands were tied behind his back, and several hands pressed his shoulders fiercely, forcing him to kneel down, unable to stand up.

Tianhao, who was dressed in costume, sat on a chair and looked at Shi Yong coldly, with a trace of doubt in the depths of his eyes.

"Aren't you leaving, why are you coming back?"

Shi Yong struggled to raise his head, he stared at Tianhao with bloodshot eyes, trembling all over, and let out a hysterical roar: "It's you!" You did it, didn't you? Everything is your conspiracy, everything is your calculation behind your back! ”

Tianhao was slightly stunned, his expression immediately returned to normal, and he said lightly: "I don't understand what you're talking about." ”

Shi Yong stumbled and cried, sometimes letting out a fierce howl like a beast, sometimes lying on the ground and sobbing in a low voice, telling the story again. He hadn't eaten a single bite of food for days, and his rage and revenge had allowed him to rush all the way from the border, and even the physiological need for water was compressed to a minimum.

“…… It was you who killed them......" Tears flowed down his cheeks and into the wounds, mixed with blood: "You did everything to make me surrender, and it was you who sent people to spread rumors in Roaring City, otherwise Your Majesty would not have done this to me at all." ”

Tianhao's face gradually became ugly.

"I haven't done it." He added coldly: "Whether you believe it or not, I haven't done it anyway." ”

Shi Yong stared at him with wolf-like eyes, his chest rose and fell violently, and his words were full of unspeakable hatred: "You are a shameless liar!" ”

Tianhao let out a contemptuous laugh, bent down from his chair, and stared at Shi Yong with a fierce gaze: "You think too highly of yourself. Who do you think you are? Do you think you're a noble man who deserves all my effort on you? Don't forget, you went out with 50,000 leonins, and no one escaped except for the soldiers who died in battle, and they are now either smashing stones in the mines to dig peat or honestly burning bricks and irons on the construction sites. They're my booty, they're slaves, you know? ”

"Each of them works a lot better than you do." Tianhao continued to let out a sarcastic sneer: "You obviously don't understand the rules of value exchange between input and harvest. A meal, two steamed buns, a piece of meat, and a bowl of vegetable soup can sustain their physical exertion for half a day, and they can bring me plenty of ore and peat. And you? Staying in prison every day, eating the same food, what else can you do but pee and? ”

"Yes, I do want you to surrender. You have a nimble mind, and I admit that I want to get corn and potatoes through you, but my investment in you has failed, both before and now. The Lion King thinks you are a traitor, and you have no way to prove your innocence. Actually, I knew about this before, but not as much detail as you say now. ”

Shi Yong swallowed a mouthful of bloody saliva hard, and let out a crying cry in a trembling voice: "...... You, you know? Are you deliberately hiding it from me? ”

"I'm a lord, and I still have a little bit of information in the lion territory." Tianhao sneered and spread his hands: "What if you know but don't tell you?" It's my right, who decreed that I must be a chatter and have no secrets in front of you? ”
