249 What is your intention?
Two days later, the blue sky of Weijun City is clear, as clear as washing, and the delicate clouds are like cotton wool, such a sunny weather is rare in the cold winter wax moon. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, in the north of the outer city of Weijun City, especially in the direction of the north, the weather gradually became gloomy, and the heavy clouds swallowed the sky and locked the sun, and the sky and the earth were vast.
Here, the population gradually became scarce, only a barren mountain with rocks piled up, like an ancient beast entrenched on the ground, surrounded by clouds and mist, which seemed quite mysterious.
In normal times, no one will come here, because if you accidentally break into this barren mountain, you will definitely get lost in the fog, and it is almost impossible to get out of it, which has also become a forbidden place for people to smell and change.
But today, at the foot of this barren mountain, there are many people gathered bustlingly, and a steady stream of people are coming, as if rushing to the temple fair.
There is no other reason, in the morning of this day, the officials want to preside over the trial of the city lord, and select the new city lord for the three cities, such a scene is not to be missed, those people who have received the news flock to it, as if they are all coming to see the excitement, after all, such a grand event is rare.
"Everyone, I don't know if you've heard that there are actually three candidates for city lord in Baiyue City?"
"That's right, the old city lord of Baiyue City has died, but he has no children and no daughters under his knees, so according to the rules, three city lord candidates must be nominated. ”
"Well, so the three of them compete on the same stage, and only one of them can become the city lord, but I don't know who can be such a lucky person?"
"Then you don't need to ask, of course it's Wu Zhuangyuan Yu Huaji, that's a genius of the younger generation, and it just happens to be a candidate nominated by the Ministry of Officials, if there is no accident, the Lord of Baiyue City must be in his pocket. ”
“......”
These people gathered at the foot of the mountain, and soon they discussed the trial of the city lord, but the topic was all on Baiyue City, and there were a few sentences about Dragon and Tiger City, but no one mentioned Wuji City.
At this time, some people don't quite understand and immediately ask such a question.
"Brothers, you are always talking about Baiyue City, and Dragon and Tiger City has also said it, but Wuji City doesn't mention it, but I don't know why?"
As soon as his words fell, he was immediately stared at by the surroundings, but they were all disdainful and disdainful, as if he was watching a fool.
"I said are you stupid, what do you have to say about Endless City?"
"Baiyue City is a third-order city, and it is also a city of princes that the court and the central government are quite fond of, so Wuji City is only a first-order city, but what is there to say?"
"Yes, the combat power of Wuji City is weak, and it is almost the lowest ranked city, which is simply a drag on the defense of the country, and I don't know when it will be destroyed. ”
"That's right, that Wuji City is built on the border, I'm afraid that it will be destroyed if it's a little careless, no matter who becomes the city lord, sooner or later it will be a slave to the dead city, but what else is there to care about?"
“......”
At that moment, the person who had just begun to question him suddenly became the target of public criticism, making him red-faced and red-eared and afraid to speak again.
At this time, at the foot of the mountain along the barren mountain, there is a rather majestic high platform, on which several seats have been placed, and there are melon fruit spirit tea, etc., and there are seven or eight beautiful maids waiting beside them, which are obviously reserved for important people to sit.
At the bottom of this high platform, there are hundreds of soldiers dressed in gold and sharp, guarding the surroundings with solemn expressions, which adds a bit of solemn atmosphere.
"Shen Sikong, this time the city lord trial, but it is a little different from the past. ”
An old man in an official robe walked up to the stands, his thin cheeks seemed to be frozen, and he didn't have any expression when he spoke.
"Lord Situ, the City Lord Trial is led by the Wenxuan Division, but his subordinates have already contacted the Formation Division of the Ministry of Works, as well as the Prison Division of the Criminal Department, and asked them to deploy the venue overnight. ”
A middle-aged man with a white face and beard followed respectfully, with a smile on his face: "Please rest assured, there should be no mistakes." ”
"Good!"
Situ Kong just nodded slightly, then stepped forward to sit in the middle of the stands, he reached out and picked up the teacup next to him, took a sip of the spiritual tea inside, and became careless.
"Shen Sikong, I don't want to ask anything else, but Yu Huaji is a martial champion, and that Baiyue City is also a third-order city, but it must not be sloppy, you must remember this matter. ”
The white-faced and beardless middle-aged man, of course, was Shen Baiyi, the Sikong of the Ministry of Literature and Selection, and he obviously knew the most about the orders of his boss, and immediately nodded and said yes.
Yu Huaji is not only the champion of martial arts, but also the future beloved son-in-law of the internal affairs envoy, and he is also the big celebrity around the prince of the Heavenly Sword, this time it is inevitable to win the lord of Baiyue City, but no one can stop it.
As for the other two cities, of course, no one cares, so they can only be left to their own devices, after all, only cities above the third order can be regarded as the cornerstone of the defense of the country, and the second-order cities are really not enough.
This was also expected by Shen Baiyi, just so that he could manipulate it, the so-called city lord trial was just for others to see, and in fact, it was not under the control of the officials?
Power is the only measure of justice, and only those who make rules are often the beneficiaries of the rules.
At the same time as the two officials sat down, there was a sudden hearty laughter, and the Divine Sword Prince, surrounded by eight guards, walked up to the high platform with a proud face.
"Divine Knife Child?"
Situ Kong's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, obviously he was a little confused, but he still got up and hugged his fists, his expression seemed to be a little confused, and even his tone of voice was indifferent.
"I didn't expect the Divine Sword Master to come, and the old man was not well received as a minister, but I don't know what advice I have?"
Although the words are polite, the meaning is not friendly, and I didn't send an invitation to the Divine Sword Mansion, but you came uninvited, what are your intentions?
After all, the Divine Sword Young Master and the Heavenly Sword Young Master compete for the position of the prince, which is also well known to the Chinese Martial Arts Hundred Officials, that Wu Zhuangyuan Yuhua and the capture of the Baiyue City Lord, but also got the instructions of the Heavenly Sword Prince, this matter is already ironclad, could it be that his Divine Sword Young Master wants to intervene?
"Lord Situ, please rest assured. ”
The Divine Sword Gongzi seemed to see Situ Kong's concerns, but he strode forward and laughed loudly: "That Tang Long of Dragon and Tiger City can be regarded as the old acquaintance of this son, and this time he came just to cheer, I hope he can get the city lord of Dragon and Tiger City." ”
"I see!"
On Situ Kong's originally somewhat solemn cheeks, a relaxed smile suddenly rippled, and he said with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter, the Divine Sword Master only needs to arrange it, and then he can listen to the good news, but why come in person?"
Having said that, the two looked at each other and smiled, naturally they were tacit, as long as the interests of both parties could be guaranteed, of course, there was no need to be tense.
Soon, someone prepared a seat and invited the Divine Sword Master to the upper seat, but when he sat down, Shen Baiyi, who was also at the bottom, glanced at each other, and the latter immediately nodded slightly, as if everything had been arranged.
In this City Lord Trial, not only must Tang Long pass smoothly, but more importantly, he must find a way to get rid of that Yi Tian of Wuji City inside.
The thorns in the eyes and the thorns in the flesh are all unpleasant, for this country boy in Wuji City, the god sword boy is eager to kill and vent his anger, and the most suitable place to do it is, of course, in the trial of the city lord.
Dying in the trial, no one will pursue it, the Divine Sword Master suppressed the monstrous anger, and he didn't do anything in the past two days, but isn't it just the day he was waiting for?
