Chapter XVI: The New Bishop

Looking at the Chosen City in front of him, Zhong Liyi's eyes were full of complicated emotions.

She had been out of town for days, but she still hadn't made up her mind to return to the city. She knew that this time the disaster was too big for her to bear, even though it was just an accident. But from ancient times to the present, when a bad thing happens, someone must come out to take responsibility, and among those who can take responsibility, only she is still alive!

Zhong Liyi is waiting, waiting for Zhong Li Yuhua and Mei Gan's anger to gradually subside, and when this matter slowly passes, the person who escaped first must have reported the war in the Guhaicang Coal Mine, maybe my aunt will take the initiative to go out of the city to find her.

Zhong Liyi didn't wait for Zhong Liyuhua, but waited for a full seven gunships to fall towards the Chosen City.

Zhong Liyi decided not to wait any longer, she had a very bad feeling, she wanted to go to the city immediately, once some things lose the initiative, the result of not being present and being present will be diametrically opposite.

Zhong Liyi walked briskly towards the city, the oppressive atmosphere in the city these days was swept away, and the faces of the believers were full of joyful expressions, even the communicators in charge of patrolling tasks were relaxed.

Zhong Liyi didn't see a single priest or preacher along the way, the new bishop came, everyone was in the chapel, and she quickly learned why.

Unable to go back to his small courtyard to change into a new priest's robe, Zhong Liyi hurriedly walked towards the chapel, no one stopped her, Zhong Liyi rushed directly into the church, and everyone's eyes turned to her.

Originally, there was a tall fat man sitting in the seat where Christian sat every day, and the fat man tried his best to make a kind appearance with a smile on his face, but he still looked very vicious, he was the rumored successor of Christian, the new bishop Duke, who was known as the "ghoul". Barry.

Zhongli Yuhua stood on Bishop Duke's left hand side, with the same smile on his face, but there was a subtle hint of bitterness in his smile.

To Duke's right stood a black woman in armor, with a cold face and no expression, and a heavy sword the size of a door panel on her back. Streep.

Further to the left and right, almost all the priests and preachers were there, each with a smile on their face, but even the same smile had a different meaning.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Zhong Liyi hurriedly bowed and saluted the man on the bishop's seat.

Behind Duke stood a slightly chubby man with white hair, seeing Zhong Liyi's salute, the man stepped forward with a smile and whispered in Duke's ear, this man's smile was so gentle and kind.

"A hundred miles are safe!" Although the man was smiling, Zhong Liyi's back was cold. Sure enough, Bishop Duke's face gradually sank.

"Priest Zhongli, why are you the only one who has come back? What about the priest Chen? What about Cameron? What about the preachers you brought out? ”

Zhong Liyi didn't expect Duke to be so direct, and he questioned himself directly as soon as he came up, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"You don't have to say it, those who fled back have said it all, and I believe they would not dare to lie to the Lord. I heard about you on my first day in office, what a stupid woman! Duke had no scruples about Zhongli Yuhua and Mei Gan standing beside him. The fact that Streep is also a woman was directly scolded.

Zhong Liyi, who was usually arrogant and accustomed to this kind of grievance, also reacted at this time, and raised his little eyebrows and said smoothly: "Lord Bishop, this kind of thing is not something you should say. Besides, although my operation failed, it was also for the church to retake the coal mine, if someone else was replaced, it was not certain that he would come back alive? ”

"Zhong Liyi, you are presumptuous!" The first to speak was Zhongli Yuhua, who was standing aside.

Duke smiled coldly, "It doesn't seem to be ordinary stupid!" As for whether you have merit or have been there, the church will definitely give you an explanation. Priest Baili, this matter will be left to your inquisition! ”

Duke's words fell into a low exclamation. The Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition, who is responsible for punishing heresy and the precepts of the Church, the Grand Commander of the Celestial Punishment Order, who is in charge of the high-level forces of the Church, and the High Priest who is in charge of the day-to-day affairs of the Church, are the triumvirate under the bishop. During Bishop Christian's tenure, because of the well-known relationship between Zhongli Yuhua and Christian, the Grand Inquisitor has always been concurrently served by Zhongli Yuhua.

Now as soon as the new bishop took office, he divided half of Zhongli Yuhua's power, and the one who picked up this pie that fell from the sky turned out to be unharmed. Another layer of exclamation means that Zhong Liyi was actually sent to the inquisition, and everyone knows that those madmen in the inquisition should be burned at the stake more than the heretics sent in.

Baili Wuxian stepped forward and bowed, "Please rest assured, Lord Bishop, we will definitely give Priest Zhongli justice." ”

Zhongli Yuhua had a cold face and wanted to step forward to speak, but the corners of his mouth moved, and he finally held back. She couldn't figure out whether Duke wanted to give herself a dismount and let herself come forward and beg him or suppress her in front of everyone, as a woman who could become a high priest, Zhongli Yuhua didn't say anything.

Megan. Streep remained motionless with a cold face, only inadvertently frowning.

Zhong Liyi still wanted to distinguish again, and several magistrates from the court had already come up to arrest her. Zhong Liyi was about to turn his face and make a move, but he suddenly looked up and found that Zhong Liyuhua was staring at him with anger in his eyes, and he could only let a few magistrates come up and grab his arms.

......

Looking at the apocalyptic Phoenix City in front of him, Chen Qi's eyes were full of complicated emotions.

He was carried into the city in a cage, and there were countless pointing crowds of onlookers on both sides of the road, who had experienced countless similar scenes, except that he was sitting on a high seat raised by four people, and the crowd of onlookers fell to their knees. And now he is hunched in the cage, and the crowd of onlookers stands high.

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, although he is used to seeing the ups and downs of life, Chen Qi knows that this time his life is really over. Because he knew that this was the place where eight of his preachers had disappeared, even though there were no five large silver metal letters on the castle tower that read "Doomsday Phoenix" before.

Just when Chen Qi thought that he was going to die, the high-level officials in Phoenix City had a lot of arguments about his life and death.

"Captain Chi, no matter what, you have to hand over Chen Qi to me, I will kill him one by one in front of all the survivors of the underground camp in Xining City, and avenge all those who died at the hands of the Gate of Heaven, including Qi Hao and Li Dong!" Song Yu finally showed his fierce side, crossed his waist and vowed not to give up until he reached his goal.

"No, Chen Qi is still useful." Chi Hua refused just as simply.

"We've got all the information we want about Heaven's Gate from him, and you must make it clear to me what value he has, you can't let him relent." Song Yu is equally uncompromising.

"The enmity of Xining City should be remembered on the Heaven Gate Church, not on someone, and Chen Qi is just an executor." Chi Hua slowed down his tone and wanted to persuade Song Yu.

"I know the truth better than you, if you don't hand over Chen Qi to me today, my sister will not be finished with you!"

No matter what kind of woman she is, once she becomes rude, it doesn't make sense, and a woman like Song Yu is no exception.

Chi Hua glanced at Yi Fengleng and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, "This matter is very important, I wanted to keep it secret until the last moment, Elder Yang and Sister Yu left everyone else out." ”

"Senior brother, I'm going out too?" Ma Qingqiu's personality was full of curiosity, and he was a little lazy and didn't want to go.

"Let's go, people want to say something private, don't you understand if you think we're an eyesore?" An An pulled Ma Qingqiu, pouted and took the lead in walking out, and glanced at Song Yu intentionally or unintentionally when he left.

Chi Hua could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

When there were only four people left in the house, Chi Hua Chong Yi Feng coldly pouted and motioned for him to speak.

Yi Fengleng didn't shirk either, "Sister Yu, in fact, it's my intention to keep Chen Qi, he has greater value, I want to use him to make a vote." ”

"Vote? What is a vote? Song Yu was confused, and even Yang Hongquan cast a puzzled look.

"We joined the Bright Alliance's vote, I don't think there's a more credible vote than grabbing a priest from the Gate of Heaven and sending it over, right?" Yi Fengleng smiled meaningfully.

Song Yu stood up and looked at the two of them in disbelief, "Are you two crazy?" You Chi Hua is registered in the Bright Alliance, do you think that the priest who sent a gate of heaven to the past will not pursue the previous enmity with you? ”

This time, Chi Hua looked at Song Yu and smiled meaningfully, and Song Yu wondered if there was something on his face, "Naturally, it's not that I, Chi Hua, want to join the Bright Alliance, but that you, Song Yu and Song Cheng, mainly join the Bright Alliance, and the Bright Alliance doesn't know that Chi Hua and An An have taken refuge in the Song City Lord." ”

Song Yu nodded, "That's true, but I still don't understand the meaning of the two of you doing this, don't you have a common enmity with the Light Alliance?" ”

Still Yi Fengleng continued: "We captured a priest and killed a deputy head of the knight order this time, which can be regarded as officially standing in the foreground, if the Gate of Heaven comes to attack with all its might, with our current strength, we will not be able to defend Phoenix City no matter what." Therefore, it can only be borrowed, and the easiest potential to borrow now is naturally the Bright Alliance! ”

Yang Hongquan on the side also couldn't help nodding, "As long as the light can help us to be involved on the side, so that the Gate of Heaven does not dare to attack with all its strength, they dare to come and die!" "Since the last battle, Yang Hongquan has incomparable confidence in the power of Doomsday Phoenix City and Chi Hua and others.

It's just that Song Yu was still a little worried: "Although you are going to negotiate, is it too dangerous for you to go to the City of Light?" ”

Chi Hua pretended to be stunned, "Who said I was going to the City of Light?" Phoenix City wants to join the Bright Alliance, and in order to show sincerity, it is natural for City Lord Song to make a trip himself! ”

"Ah, you actually calculated my sister and me, see if I don't clean you up!" Regardless of the presence of Yang Hongquan and Yi Fengleng, Song Yu directly reached out and twisted Chi Hua's waist.
