Chapter 59 - The Mysterious Dragon Tomb (Lost Footing)
Early the next morning, in the early morning, the people walked out into the streets, and the original calm Lichen County suddenly became no longer peaceful, and the fundamental reason was that a note was posted on the edge of the city wall in this Lichen County that made all the people and even all the soldiers feel deeply strange. On this letter, Li Yan clearly told all the people in Lichen County that they were now officially under the rule of Chen Xinyu, the emperor of Lichen County, and were no longer as neutral and unretentious as in the past. As soon as this remark came out, all the people were very surprised by this, because they were originally in a neutral territory with several surrounding counties and even the big city of Songcheng further north, and they had not yet expressed their true position on this aspect. But now, the county magistrate Li Yan suddenly said such a thing, how could this make the people not be surprised by this?
So, in the early morning of that day, a large number of people had gathered at the gate of the county office, hoping to get an explanation from the county order. But no matter how the people shouted, how they called, and even insulted, the gate of this county government was just guarding dozens of officials armed with swords and spears. These officials also received a death order from above, and no matter what, they could not let the people enter the county government. Again and again, the officials completely rejected the desire of the people in front of them to go in and have a look, and they would not answer any of the questions they asked. These officials are standing there like this, making people feel like solemn statues.
Slowly, these people seemed to have realized that this was really not the time to understand the situation clearly, and some of the people who had originally come here to see the excitement immediately chose to leave this place and simply went home. As time passed, by noon, there were no more people at the gate of the county office. Most of the people have woken up to the meaning. In fact, for their ordinary people, who rules and governs them is really not a very important matter. The people are not more concerned about these things, but who can bring them a stable and comfortable life, which is the key.
The common people are well aware of this, and in the last two years, although they are said to be in the neutral realm of the two forces of the members of the royal family and the emperor of the country, they can obtain the greatest benefits. In fact, when the people think about it, the current situation is not exactly like this, and they have really suffered a lot of this in the past two years, because being in a neutral realm makes them unable to get the support of these two forces, which is actually not a good thing for everyone. Of course, these people didn't notice what they didn't notice at first. And the county commander Li Yan also told all the people that they were not in a hurry to decide the current direction and position, and they should remain neutral and obtain the greatest benefits.
Now the county commander Li Yan suddenly issued such an order, which surprised all the people, but in fact, after the people figured out the joints, they were no longer so surprised. For many people, it is better to go home and continue their daily lives at this time than to be entangled in these things. Other issues are not something they can decide, and they are also issues that the people don't really care about. The people also changed from being puzzled at the beginning to supporting the decision of the prefectural order step by step. And today, Li Yan, the county magistrate who has been silent, quietly watched all this happening in front of him from a restaurant not far from this county office, and he saw the joy on the faces of ordinary people. This made his already incomparably complex heart even more mixed. He really didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to do this, but he didn't have to worry about it now, the two young men had already left Lichen County this morning and continued to move westward. The goal of their two siblings, Li Yan naturally knew it, they were going to the city. At this time, even Li Yan couldn't help but admire the courage of these two young people, at this time, such a thing happened here, and their two brothers and sisters dared to choose to continue to go to the city, this is an indescribable courage and courage, Li Yan thinks that he does not have this kind of courage. Even an hour ago, he hoped that these people would oppose the current support of Empress Chen Xinyu, but he never thought that the people didn't care about these at all, they only cared about which side of the current power could bring them long-term benefits, this is the simple dream of the people, and it is also a simple but almost unrealizable wish.
For this point, even Li Yan, who doesn't want the people to choose this way, can't choose to refute or even prevent the people from choosing this path, this is the people's own choice, and it is really a fact that he can't change.
Thinking of this, Li Yan couldn't help but sigh deeply, and then thought about another thing, those two brothers and sisters not only let go of themselves, but also let Chen Jing go, what was their intention in doing this? They were going to continue to go to the city at this time, what was their intention? Li Yan even felt that these two questions would be entangled in his mind for a long time
Facing the rising sun, walking on the street outside Lichen County, watching Lichen County disappear from their sight little by little, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two brothers and sisters, really didn't know that Li Yan, who was still the county order, was still there thinking about their two brothers and sisters. They all thought that this Li Yan didn't hurry up and forget about their two brothers and sisters, and he still missed them deeply at this time. This is really something that Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, did not expect at all.
Early this morning, after the two siblings had completed all the things in Lichen County, they immediately chose to leave Lichen County. The most important thing for them now is to go to the city to understand the final possibility and outcome, maybe this time will eventually lead to the whole situation developing into a destabilizing situation. So, after Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two brothers and sisters, finished this matter, they immediately left this Lichen County. Heading to the city, of course, the two siblings didn't know the way, and now they were heading east with the guidance of the people around them and their sense of direction.
Feng Shanshan's mood is really unstable now due to what happened last night, and she won't pay attention to Feng Yuchong beside her along the way. No matter how Feng Yuchong persuaded his sister, he even persuaded his helplessness with good words and comfort. But Feng Shanshan in front of her said a little angrily: "Brother, you guy is also bad, silently bullying me like this, you can tell me, what happened before?"
After Feng Yuchong heard his sister's words, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "Ahem, it turns out that Shanshan, in fact, you are not really angry with me, but only because of what happened before, this Shanshan, you listen to me explain to you, okay?"
Feng Shanshan didn't really blame her brother, she just didn't untie her knot at first during this time. Originally, his brother respected his opinion the most, but this time he didn't listen to his opinion, which made Feng Shanshan have some small emotions that were difficult to soothe in her heart. And now, her brother's sincere explanation made her emotions soothed again, if she hadn't blamed her brother herself, according to Feng Shanshan's original strong character, she would definitely not easily make it clear to the person in front of her again.
Looking at the sincere but somewhat helpless face of his brother beside him, Feng Shanshan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Okay, okay, brother, I don't really blame you for anything." It's just that I've been thinking about what we're doing now? What kind of benefits do we have for us to help His Majesty the Emperor who has left the country? Brother, you also know that in this Xuanling Continent, we don't have any place where we can feel the aura of the soul, which means that we can't practice the soul cultivation, is this a loss for us?"
Feng Shanshan smiled indifferently, "It turns out that what you are worried about now is these problems, to be honest, I used to think about this." What we are doing now on this Xuanling Continent doesn't seem to be of much help to us. As you said, we can't cultivate the Instrument Soul now, which is a very serious matter for a Tool Soul cultivator of our age, but Shanshan," Feng Yuchong's voice suddenly became serious, and the original joking tone no longer existed. He continued, "Now, all of what we're doing may even change the situation. If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that this Xuanling Continent has an accidental but inevitable connection with our Demon Spirit Continent."
As soon as Feng Yuchong finished saying this, he suddenly felt a lightness under his feet, and his sister Feng Shanshan beside him also felt that he had stepped on the air. At the last moment of their fall, the two siblings realized that the path they had traveled had completely deviated from the path they had taken to the city. It seemed that they had come to a mountain range outside Chen County, but after that, the two siblings could no longer see their surroundings, and only felt that their bodies had fallen downward at an extremely fast speed in a short period of time.
