"No, Song Shoujiang, listen to me, it's not like this, that person has nothing to do with me......" City Lord Zhao's expression was very flustered, he had been trying to find a way to break free from his hand, and at the same time defended himself: "I was forced, it was all him, it was all forced by that demon Dao to do it!" ”

He put all the blame on Xuanchen Lao Dao, but Xuan Chen Lao Dao is dead, and no one will believe his words.

"You still have to quibble when it comes to the end!" General Song pulled him closer again, making him look directly at him.

"You look me in the eye, you look me in the eye! Do you dare to say that you didn't find that demon way? Don't you still support him in setting up a battle with the blood of a virgin? Have you forgotten what you said?! ”

The emotions that had been suppressed were constantly exploding, and his eyes were bloodshot, and several people watching from the side could feel his anger.

"Song Shoujiang, I, I will do this, I do this for a reason, you, you let me go......"

Fear was intertwined in his heart, and he shirked his responsibilities and pleaded over and over again to show his cowardice and incompetence, but no one present would pity him.

Song Shoujiang's hand holding his shirt tightened inch by inch again, and he opened his mouth word by word, his tone was almost humble and begging: "Then here today, I, Song Weirong, want to ask you a word from City Lord Zhao, why?" ”

His hands were trembling, and his eyes were wide open with anger, so frightened that City Lord Zhao didn't know what to say, and his heart was already in a panic.

"Why!" Three words again, Song Shoujiang yelled directly at him, the pain made his head almost burst, and this anger and hatred made his excited heart unable to calm down for a long time.

The former Zhao City Lord was not like this.

"I never thought you'd be like this. I remember that you personally guarded Hezhou City, and you also said that Hezhou City will be your home in the future, but is this how you treat this home now? ”

Song Shoujiang pointed to the ruined Hezhou City with one hand, grabbed him with the other, and looked at him, with tears in his eyes.

The sadness spread silently, and the tall back, which should have stood up to the sky, looked indescribably fragile at the moment.

"It turns out that the City Lord of Zhao I know has changed at some point, and has become so reckless of human life, colluding with the Demon Dao to ruin the lives of people in a city!"

He threw City Lord Zhao on the ground, then turned around and pulled out the sword in Gou Yao's hand, and then walked towards City Lord Zhao step by step, that tenacious step, every step carried deep anger and hatred towards City Lord Zhao.

General Song Shoujiang still remembers that when the city lord of Zhao first came to Hezhou City three years ago, the first time they met was at the gate of this city, and he said politely at that time: "The contemptible surname is Zhao, and he is the new city lord of Hezhou City." ”

Although he was lame at that time, they did not look at him in a strange light, because they heard that the new city lord had been a general and had been on the battlefield, and he was a man who defended his family and country.

And then he has always been very good to the people, Hezhou City because of too many merchants, it is inevitable that there will be disputes, at that time he also stood up and said: "Since it is in my Hezhou City, then you must abide by the rules of my Hezhou City!" ”

Sometimes there would be mountain bandits who wanted to rob Hezhou City, and at that time he threw away his crutches, raised his spear, and led everyone to stand at the head of the city and guard Hezhou City.

He said: "This Hezhou City will be my home from now on, and the people of Hezhou City are my family." I vow to protect my home and my family. ”

However, the city of Hezhou, which he had sworn to protect, had been destroyed by him since he didn't know when, and he announced loudly in the main hall of the city lord's mansion yesterday morning: "With the blood of boys and girls, set up a great array of ......"

The blood of a virgin boy and a virgin? Listen, this is the method that the city lord of Zhao who loves the people like a son said it himself.

But they always thought that he was forced to helpless, so they chose to forgive him and no longer pursue him, but a sentence he heard in the cave broke all his illusions.

He said to Xuanchen Lao Dao at that time: "For the sake of this soul bead you said, I don't even want the lives of the entire people in Hezhou City, so you give me such a result?" ”

Yes, he heard it right, City Lord Zhao didn't even want his own home for the sake of that so-called soul bead.

Song Shoujiang approached step by step, while City Lord Zhao supported the ground with his hands, and his body kept retreating.

He really felt frightened, now he has long lost his original backbone, and in order to achieve his goal, he is no longer the former Zhao City Lord.

Song Shou pointed the long sword in his hand, the tip of the sword was aimed at him, and a pair of eyes stared at him.

"From now on, there will never be Hezhou City again, and there will never be a Zhao City Lord who loves the people like a son."

Despair, loss, little by little occupy the heart, how much they loved him once, and how much they hate him at this moment.

Suddenly, City Lord Zhao sneered, with a deep sense of mockery.

He no longer flinched, stood up directly from the ground, and then bypassed Song Shoujiang's long sword, walked in front of him, looked directly at him, and said, "Do you want to know the reason?" Then I'll tell you now! ”

"I, Zhao Yu, was the general of the South Vietnamese State Sanpin, and I have been doing my best for the country on the battlefield for many years, bravely killing the enemy, and I have no complaints about everything I do."

He pointed at himself, angry, and then pointed to his leg, his expression instantly appeared with grief, "However, a person like me lost not only his leg but everything in one night!" ”

When the city lord of Zhao recalled the past, he still couldn't help but feel sad, his leg was injured three years ago, at a critical period for the rise of the Nanyue Kingdom.

He is not the highest general in the army, and above him are Ye Yunshen, who did not become the idle king at that time, and Yun Ling, the son of the former protector general.

He still remembers that rainy night, with lightning and thunder and heavy rain, he was trapped in the canyon because he led his troops to encircle and suppress the enemy army, when the enemy generals tried to persuade him to defect to the enemy, and even captured his wife and children to threaten him.

He hesitated, but his wife would rather die than defect to the enemy, and while she struggled, she died by the sword of the enemy.

At that time, his two children, the eldest son was only eleven years old, and the youngest daughter was only eight years old, and he could still hear them crying and calling him daddy.

Later, the enemy general promised to return the children to him, but when the two children came running for him while calling for Daddy, the enemy general shot both the children alive......

"Ming'er, Chan'er!" He was shouting at his two children, almost out of breath from the pain of losing a loved one.

Desperate, he rushed up to hug the two children who fell to the ground, and the little daughter who still had a breath of breath said to him in his arms: "Daddy, Chan'er hurts so much." ”

"Ahh

The rain kept falling, and the two little bodies were soaked, and at the same time they were dripping on his face, and tears were mixed with the rain and flowed down, and his only relatives in this world died, all of them died!

He vowed to avenge his wife and children, and that night they fought the enemy, but it was then that he was wounded in the leg.

Later, Ye Yunshen led troops to the rescue, and only then did he kill the enemy general. He saved his life and brought back the bodies of his wife and children for burial.

His leg injury, Ye Yunshen invited Feng Qingyue to treat him, but Feng Qingyue said that his leg injury was poisoned, if he couldn't find Qi three kinds of medicinal materials, then his leg would be saved, but the residual toxins made him no longer able to walk like a normal person.

"So two of the three medicinal materials are missing, and my legs are so wasted, and it is no longer possible to work on the battlefield like before, so I have become a wasted person!"

City Lord Zhao said, his eyes glancing at the people present, his sad expression accompanied by pain.

Feng Qingyan stood aside and watched quietly, she didn't expect that this matter would also involve Yun Shen and her brother.

City Lord Zhao also said that because of this incident, his military rights were taken away by others, and he has been immersed in the grief of losing his family and has no energy to care.

At that time, there were a lot of moths in the South Vietnamese Dynasty, and he lost his power and became a waste, so those who had long been dissatisfied with him left no room for secret suppression against him.

At that time, the enemy army would often sneak attack and resist, and Ye Yunshen and Yun Ling had a lot of military priorities to deal with every day, so they couldn't take care of him at all.

Once, he had a public argument with someone in the army, and then he accidentally killed the man with a sword, and it was not long before someone joined forces to impeach him.

"That's when I realized that I had fallen for it, and that it was a trap they had set up. Not long afterward, His Majesty ordered me to be sent to Hezhou City to be the lord of the city......"

Chu Xi Kingdom is a hundred years of tranquility, this country rarely has wars, and Hezhou City is close to Chu Xi Kingdom, so the local people are also free from disturbances.

Sending him here may also be because the emperor has made great contributions.

At first, he accepted this identity, tried to forget everything in the past, and once made Hezhou City his home.

But later someone told him that the reason why he was trapped in the canyon in the first place, and the reason why his wife and children fell into the hands of the enemy, was because someone was deliberately setting up a situation.

"So from that moment on, I don't want to stay in Hezhou City anymore, I want to go back to Shangjing, find out the truth of what happened back then, avenge my dead wife and children, and give me back this useless leg!"

"But ......" After a pause, he almost cried: "My leg has become the biggest obstacle to my return to Shangjing, I am a worthless person!" ”

The Emperor may have forgotten him, and he had asked those who had been close friends to help him, but they shunned him, and they mocked him, saying that no one would help a worthless waster.

Thinking of his wife's unyielding death before she died, and thinking of the sentence that his youngest daughter said in his arms, "Daddy, Chan'er hurts so much", he couldn't calm his heart.

He cried, resented, and all the time, he desperately wanted to heal his leg, and after a long time, this became an obsession in his heart that could not be dissolved.

Seeing that those people could walk normally and the family could be reunited, how envious he was in his heart, but he could only bury all this deep in his heart, and resent himself alone in the middle of the night, hating himself for being too useless!

He's not reconciled, he's really, really unwilling!

A year ago, he had no intention of getting an ancient book, knowing that the Soul Bead could completely heal his leg injury, but relying on his strength was not enough to condense the Soul Bead.

Finally, there was a way that he couldn't give up, so he began to look around for the right person.

Finally, God gave him a chance to save the injured Xuanchen Lao Dao.

Xuanchen Lao Dao cultivates the side door and left way, which is not tolerated by the sect people who claim to be righteous, and is often chased and injured, for which he has always wanted to take revenge.

So, it didn't take long for the two of them to agree to condense the soul beads together, and when the time came, one and a half.

He told Xuanchen Lao Dao the method of condensing the soul bead, so Xuanchen Lao Dao was responsible for condensing the soul bead, because he didn't tell him the method of condensing the soul bead at the end, so he was not afraid that he would run away.

Later, because of the appearance of the ghost clan, Xuan Chen Lao Dao hit the idea to the three states of the netherworld, and after he found out about the ghost clan army, he felt that it was an opportunity.

So they worked together to set up a large array, trying to trap the ghost army in the city, and then devour them and the people of the city, and use them to condense the soul beads.

His obsession has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, as long as he can heal his legs, as long as he can avenge his wife and children, he can do whatever he wants, even abandon the people of this city.

"You and that demon Dao have harmed so many people for their own selfish interests, what is the difference between you and those who harmed you back then?!" After listening to his story, Song Shoujiang still couldn't forgive him.

Wrong is wrong, right is right, this shouldn't be an excuse for him and Xuanchen Lao Dao to harm the people of a city.

"But those who hurt me, why don't they deserve to die? I have paid so much for the country of South Vietnam, has Your Majesty ever thought of finding out what happened back then and giving justice to my wife and children? Give me a statement from Zhao Yue?! ”

City Lord Zhao asked in a voice, but no one answered, and as outsiders, they were not worthy of answering.

"Home? Do you think this is really my home? He looked at Song Shoujiang and laughed self-deprecatingly again and again, with deep pain in that smile.

"My wife and children all died under the enemy's army, and since then, I have no home!"

"I am dedicated to the country, but in the end I got such a result, do you think all this is deserved?"

He couldn't stop the grief in his heart, squatted on the ground, covered his face with his hands, and sobbed softly, his broad shoulders trembling uncontrollably because of the crying.

Who doesn't have a home? Who is free from pain? Would he have done it if he hadn't been cornered?

"But the cycle of heavenly principles, retribution is unpleasant, you have to do everything for yourself in the end......" With a backhand turn, the sword body in Song Shoujiang's hand was a little cold.

"Pay the price."

Hearing this, City Lord Zhao stood up from the ground, raised his hand and pointed at himself, and yelled at him with all his strength: "Song Weirong, I am the city lord of Hezhou City, you are just a guard, you can't kill me!" ”

He is not willing to die like this, his revenge has not been avenged, he has not found out the truth of what happened back then, how can he die like this!

General Song's eyes were a little cold again, he was just a small guard, but the city lord of Zhao was the lord of a city, and he was personally appointed by the Nanyue Emperor.

Did he, Song Weirong, dare to kill the city lord?

Do you dare? Dare to kill the city lord?

The answer is: he dares!

"Your past may be sad, but how innocent are the people of this city? As the lord of the city, you have no regard for human life, and you have caused trouble with the demon way. ”

The sword in his hand pointed at the city lord of Zhao, the city lord of Zhao retreated step by step, and he approached step by step, with an unpersuadable resoluteness in his eyes: "Today, I, Song Weirong, represent the people of this city, and kill you!" ”

The long sword was raised, and the second before it fell, General Song still looked at him with hatred: "You just take this sin all over your body, go down and make amends for them!" ”
