Chapter 362: City Lord
Xiaowei has no place to go now, and these people in front of her are her only way to survive.
After the discussion, everyone was ready to go back and pack their things as soon as possible.
In order to prevent accidents, the group went straight to their residence, but unexpectedly, they were still one step late.
"With so many people around, it seems that this matter will not be good, Miss, shall we go out."
Tassel thought about whether to go directly first, as long as the young lady was okay, nothing mattered.
"I'm afraid, it's not so easy to ask us to leave." Mu Chenjue signaled, only then did he find that several people were really swaggering, and the appearance of bloodstains on his body had already been discovered by the people on the side.
Looking at so many people, Xiaowei subconsciously hid to the back, trembling all over.
"That's them, come here, don't tell them to run, come here." I don't know who shouted, Shangguan Juan and the others suddenly became the target of everyone.
Seeing that he couldn't hide, he simply stood generously under everyone's noses, undisguised with bloodstains. The people around may have been frightened by the momentum of a few people, and no one dared to approach.
"Several, we don't know each other, why should we make a fuss, as long as you leave the people we want and leave here, it will be treated as if you have never been here." An old man walked out of the crowd.
"Speaking of which, on this one, Miss Ben also said that if this person doesn't take it away, we won't leave." Shangguan Juan was very strange, these people did things that were inferior to beasts, but they didn't dare to make a big deal out of it.
"Drive them out, drive them out, and sacrifice fire to appease the wrath of the gods."
The crowd didn't know who got up, everyone started shouting, and the circle around everyone was getting smaller and smaller, Xiao Yun looked at this posture not quite right.
Everyone protected Xiaowei and Shangguan Juan in the middle, looking at the ugly faces of these people.
"This is our custom here, if those who are rejected by the gods can only be sacrificed by fire, if we do not follow this, there will be calamities in all our city, and unfortunate things will happen, and we will suffer." The old man's vicissitudes of life came out, and everyone calmed down, just staring at Xiaowei without moving.
Xiaowei didn't dare to show her face at all, she knew what kind of result she would have, there was no way out, and the clansmen who were very good to her on weekdays would give up on her in the face of the curse.
"Help me! Help me! ”
A pair of small hands tugged at the corners of his clothes, Shangguan Juan knew who it was, and at this point, he couldn't just leave it alone.
Feeling the warmth covering her hands, she slowly looked up and saw Shangguan Juan's eyes, Xiaowei felt that she might be saved.
"Fire sacrifice, isn't this murder, if it were your own brothers and sisters, would you also watch her die?" Where have tassels ever seen such a murderous situation, such a young girl, because of such a trumped rumor, was sentenced to death.
"You don't know, this is not a rumor, we are not for no reason, this has happened before, we don't have a fire sacrifice, but since then, people have died every month, and there are all kinds of disasters, there is really no way, you are not from us here, you don't understand at all, this is a disaster, you can't hide it."
Slowly, there were still sounds of crying around, and I don't know how much truth there was.
Shangguan Juan looked at Xiao Yun and the others, made eye contact, no one changed their minds, this girl can't stay, staying, there is only a dead end.
"Let's get out." Shangguan Juan looked at the dense crowd, and he didn't know if his decision was right or not, only Mu Chenjue heard what he said.
"Don't be afraid." 000 Literature
There was heat in his ears, and Shangguan Juan's heart skipped a beat.
Just as a few people were about to force their way out, they suddenly heard a commotion in the crowd, and everyone got out of the way.
The person who appeared, wearing a purple gold embroidered dragon pattern, the momentum of a person who had been in the top position for a long time, Shangguan Juan always felt that this momentum was very familiar.
"Meet the Lord."
Hearing people's names, several people reacted, this is the city lord of Huaicheng who has never shown up, but it is really mysterious.
"Several, I am the lord of Huaicheng, this matter is our internal, outsiders really shouldn't interfere, a few of you should take care of your own affairs."
Originally, he didn't plan to come forward, but unexpectedly, these people were extremely stubborn, and the city lord of Huaicheng had no choice but to come forward himself.
"Lord of the city, I have really heard of the name for a long time, but we have already intervened in this matter, and it is impossible to let it go now, this girl can't be sacrificed by fire."
The face of the person in front of him was obviously much uglier with these words, and Shangguan Juan was sure that he had never seen this person, and he didn't know where that inexplicable familiarity came from.
This matter has consumed a lot of lips and tongues, and in the eyes of the city lord of Huaicheng, there is no need to spend it on, just kill these people.
"Come on, let's do it." At the sound of an order, all the well-equipped guards of the City Lord's Mansion surrounded them.
"Miss, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave today." Tassel's worried tone came, these guards were different from the previous villagers, after they really did it, Shangguan Juan's side couldn't get any benefits.
The few people in front of him who were bloodstained, in the eyes of the city lord of Huaicheng, just didn't know what to do, and now these people don't look like ordinary people, if they don't pay attention and cause trouble, it will be very difficult to deal with.
"Looks like we're going to have a fight today, Lord Castle."
The sarcasm of ridicule came, and the city lord of Huaicheng looked at Shangguan Xuan, and slowly looked at it, that jade pendant,.
Mu Chenjue found that the city lord on the opposite side seemed to be enchanted when he looked at Shangguan Juan, and with the realization of it, it was the jade pendant left by Shangguan Rong before leaving.
"Stop, all stand down!"
After repeatedly confirming that he had not admitted his mistake, the City Lord of Huaicheng paced forward and withdrew the guards.
"You're sorry." I don't know why the other party suddenly retreated, and put on a kind look, with a smile on his face.
The more I look at it, the more I look like it, and my temper is strong enough, the city lord of Huaicheng is completely in the same mood as his daughter for Shangguan Juan now, Shangguan Rong's daughter, isn't that his daughter.
Mu Chenjue looked at everything, and thought about the strange place, it was a jade pendant, Shangguan Rong's jade pendant, then Shangguan Rong and this place are inseparable.
"This is actually, it's just a misunderstanding, in this way, I won't be in a hurry to deal with this girl, you see that you are all injured, go to the city lord's mansion first, rest and recuperate, let's discuss it well." Shangguan Juan and the others were not prepared for the sudden change, but at present, it seemed that they could only go with this strange city lord first.
Anyway, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and they don't have any worries.
With vigilance, several people cautiously followed this strange appearance of the city lord towards the city lord's mansion.
