CHAPTER XXIV
The battle situation in the field, as Lin Lan expected, as the old man of the two-star battle sect fought, the more frightened he became, the more he fought, the more frightened he became, the more he fought, the more he fought, the more frightened he became, these three juniors were obviously the cultivation of the eight-star war master, which in the past, he could kill with a wave of his hand, but at this time it brought him a deadly threat.
That threat mainly comes from Cha Cha's sword, that sword, contains countless killings, and each sword will bring him the threat of death.
If only that sword is okay, he can still deal with it, but there is also Huang Pu's ban, whenever he thinks he has grasped the opportunity, his mana will always be uncontrollable, although he will break free in an instant, but that opportunity has long slipped away.
He wanted to use the weakest-looking woman as a breakthrough, but he reluctantly found that the woman seemed to be the weakest, but she was the most difficult person, because the two people on the front could more or less find a chance to collide head-on, but that woman couldn't even touch him, let alone kill him.
Rao is he is well-informed, and it was only after a few rounds that he suddenly woke up, it turned out that what this woman cultivated was the way of time and space that was difficult to find in the world, the Hongmeng realm was vast, but there were very few people who cultivated the way of time and space, and among the few, it was even more rare to be able to cultivate the essence of the way of time and space, but he encountered it today.
The old man knew in his heart, not to mention that there were still Cha Cha and Huang Pu, even if there were no them, he would not be able to catch this woman who was wandering in time and space.
With the passage of time, the cooperation between the three became more and more tacit, and the pressure on the old man became more and more, and after a few rounds, the old man had to admit that he couldn't help these three juniors, and if he dragged it on, he really had the possibility of being dragged to death by these three juniors.
So, the old man fled, panicking like a lost dog, however, he didn't escape, because Lin Lan on the city tower didn't let him escape, so he died, and he didn't even have a name.
On the ruins of the Drunken Immortal Building, the three of them stood side by side, suspending pranayama, and after a while, the time to come finally came.
When the three of them were surrounded by the defenders of Lan Jian City, Huang Pu's face was cold, and he was quite annoyed that Lan Jian City had taken a child's heart into the dish and the government knew nothing about it, but after thinking about it, maybe there were some unknown reasons for this matter, so he angrily threw a token to the defender general, and then said: "First, the whole process is under martial law, and you are not allowed to enter or leave; second, arrest all those involved in the Drunken Immortal Building; and third, let the city lord come to see me quickly." ”
Strictly speaking, this Lan Sword City is not under the jurisdiction of Huang Pu, but the name of Huang Pu is comparable to the existence of the Holy Decree in any place in Great Qin, just because Huang Pu has brought the foundation of Great Qin for eternity, and it can reach the peace of eternity.
Therefore, the general of the defending army did not hesitate and took the order first.
After a short time, the city lord came with his people.
The lord of Lanjian City was a middle-aged scholar, whose name was Zeng Fan, who was appointed by the imperial court.
Zeng Fan took the lead in saluting Huang Pu, but before Huang Pu could speak, a young official behind Zeng Fan came out of the crowd and shouted to Huang Pu in a hurry: "Is it Senior Brother Huang Pu? Is it Senior Brother Huang Pu? Oh, I finally met Senior Brother Huang Pu." ”
Zeng Fan was in a hurry, and it was too late to stop it, so he could only sigh helplessly, and this young master was doing nonsense.
Huang Pu was stunned for a moment, glanced at Cha Cha and Mu Qiu, Gu didn't know why, and secretly said when he had an extra junior brother, could it be that the master accepted another apprentice in this short period of less than a word, this is unlikely.
So, Huang Pu asked suspiciously: "Who are you, why do you call me senior brother?"
The young man immediately said, "I'm Lu Xishan, doesn't my senior brother know me?"
Huang Pu laughed angrily and asked again, "Should I know about you?"
Lu Xishan replied: "No, didn't the senior uncle tell the senior brother that you have me as a junior brother?"
Huang Pu's anger had not yet subsided, and when he saw that this guy was talking with a donkey's lips and not a horse's mouth, he said a little impatiently: "Ming, who is your master? Who is your uncle?"
It can be seen that this is a guy with thick nerves, and he didn't notice Huang Pu's impatience in the slightest, and still said with such a big grin: "My master is Lin Huang, senior brother, don't you really know me." ”
Huang Pu was stunned, the name Lin Huang seemed to be a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while, and was about to ask, but Cha Cha next to him opened his mouth: "You are Uncle Lin Huang's apprentice, Fan Mingyan's junior brother?"
Gu Yili was overjoyed and said, "Yes, yes." ”
When Cha Cha mentioned Fan Mingyan's name, Huang Pu finally remembered that Lin Huang was Lin Lan's sister, and Fan Mingyan was the fat man's sister.
It's no wonder that Huang Pu is really because for thousands of years, Huang Pu has never seen the pair of master and apprentice once, the two seem to have disappeared from the world, and they have never shown the slightest figure, if it weren't for the fat man often mentioning his sister, Huang Pu really can't remember.
Cha Cha is different, Cha Cha has seen Lin Huang, and the Buddha beads in the hands of several of his brothers were given by Lin Huang, and, for some reason, even after thousands of years, Fan Mingyan's figure has been lingering in Cha Cha's heart.
Now that he can determine the identity of this Gu Yili, Huang Pu's expression softened a little, and said to Gu Yili: "Oh, it turns out that he is really a junior brother." ”
Gu Yili nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, senior brother, you don't know, I wanted to go to all the senior brothers and sisters a long time ago, but the master was unwilling, so he taught me to the senior uncle, and the senior uncle didn't let me go, and threw me here to be an official, what's so fun about being an official, I'm about to be suffocated, senior brother, just come here, take me away." ”
The three of Huang Pu looked at the chattering Gu Yili in a daze, as if they were looking at the second fat man, so they couldn't help but sigh, fortunately Huang Pu still remembered the business, so he said to Gu Yili: "Senior brother, you step down, senior brother still has some things to deal with, and when it is done, it will not be too late for us to talk about the old days." ”
Gu Yili wanted to say more, but he was glared at by Huang Pu, and suddenly he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he hurriedly lowered his eyebrows and retreated to the side.
Zeng Fan smiled helplessly, and only then did he have the opportunity to come forward to greet Huang Pu, and said: "I don't know if the Hou Ye has arrived, I have missed the distance, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”
Huang Pu asked straight to the point: "There is a dish in this drunken immortal building, called Fu Lu Shou, do you know?"
Zeng Fan replied: "Yes." ”
Huang Pu asked, "What kind of ingredients are used?"
Zeng Fan: "I don't know. ”
Huang Pu asked again: "Is there a child missing in the place under your jurisdiction?"
Zeng Fan was stunned, didn't dare to hide it, and said, "Yes." ”
Huang Pu: "How many?"
Zeng Fan: "A lot. ”
Huang Pu's voice aggravated: "How much is a lot?"
Zeng Fan hurriedly knelt down: "Almost every month, as little as one or two, as much as three or five." ”
Huang Pu said: "When did it start?"
Zeng Fan said: "About a thousand years ago. ”
Huang Pu said: "Why don't you check?"
Zeng Fan: "I checked, but I didn't find it." ”
Huang Pu said: "Why don't you report it?"
Zeng Fan said: "The lower officials think that this is a trivial matter, and they dare not bother the upper officials." ”
Huang Pu was furious: "Presumptuous, this is a small matter, so in your eyes, what is a big matter?"
Zeng Fan was shocked, and hurriedly said: "The lower official is guilty." ”
Huang Pu said angrily: "Your sin is unforgivable, come and behead." ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone who heard it was shocked, and in an instant, all the officials and soldiers here knelt on the ground, crying and pleading, and among the crowd of onlookers, there were also many people who spoke out for Zeng Fan's justice, which can also be seen that Zeng Fan was still diligent in governing on weekdays, otherwise there would not be so many people to intercede for him.
But this does not hinder Huang Pu's determination to kill, in Huang Pu's heart, even if you have great merit, as long as you make a mistake, you must be punished as you deserve.
Looking at the pleading everywhere, Huang Pu became even more angry, and said in a cold voice: "What, do you want to disobey?"
When everyone hesitated, Gu Yili stood up, drew his sword out of its sheath, and shouted, "I'll come." ”
Someone wanted to stop it, Huang Pu snorted coldly, and everyone was silent for a moment, and they could only watch Gu Yili's sword stabbed into Zeng Fan's chest, Zeng Fan fell to the ground with a bang, Gu Yili returned the sword to the sheath, and stood aside with a solemn face.
Looking at Gu Yili, who returned the sword to the sheath, Cha Cha's brows furrowed, Mu Qiu's face was cold, but Huang Pu gave the two of them a look, and then glanced at Gu Yili with great meaning.
At this glance, Gu Yili's cold sweat suddenly fell, he knew that what he had done could be hidden from the world, but he couldn't hide it from Huangpu.
In fact, he didn't kill Zeng Fan, his sword, named Zangsheng, seems to be a murder, but in fact it is saving people, but it is a trick to hide from the sky and cross the sea.
He has used this trick many times, but he has not been exposed by others once, which makes him very puzzled, because Lin Huang once told him that this trick, under the Zhan Sect, no one can see it.
What Lin Huang didn't tell him was that she learned this trick from Tuoba Pifu, and she only learned a fur, how could she deceive Tuoba Pifu's personal disciple with this fur alone.
When Huang Pu's words sounded in Gu Yili's heart, Gu Yili sweated like rain, but at the same time, he was relieved in his heart, because Huang Pu said to him: "Only this once, not an example." ”
This side represents that Huang Pu forgave him for this incident and does not plan to pursue it.
Zeng Fan's death was like a big stone pressing on everyone's hearts, no one knew why Huang Pu was angry, was it just for those missing children, but Lan Jiancheng was so big, isn't it a trivial matter to lose a few children? Even if he has been missing for thousands of years in a row, he can't kill a feudal official for this.
At this moment, the general of the defending army came to report, saying that all those involved in the drunken immortal building had been captured, and asked Huang Pu what happened next.
Huang Pu groaned slightly, and instructed the defending generals: "Put them all in prison, and I will interrogate them one by one." ”
