Chapter 63: I am willing to listen to the grace of the father
In front of the gate of Qiu Ling Courtyard, there were three people standing, it was Bai Yi and two disciples. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Today's Qiu Ling Courtyard looks desolate and lonely, and the once smooth stone paved square is now overgrown with wild grass. The red paint on the gate is also peeling off layer by layer, as if it has been eroded by many years. The bronze nails of the beast's head on the gate were also mutilated, and the beast's head was pulled down diagonally. I don't know who picked up the tiles on the top of the wall, and one wall still looks like it has collapsed, and there are obvious signs of reconstruction.
It looked desolate, but the door was closed, and I didn't know if there was anyone inside at the moment.
"Master, is this the Qiu Ling Courtyard where you and Senior Brother Wang Yang once studied?" Bai Qingyou grew up in the Yunxiang Sect since she was a child, and she heard that other disciples came out of the academy, but it was the first time she had seen the academy with her own eyes, although there were many students coming in and out of her resemblance, and there was no sound of Lang Lang reading, but she was still full of curiosity.
"Yes, it used to be very lively and beautiful here, but I don't know why it has only been gone for two and a half years before it has become like this. Wang Yang said regretfully.
Bai Yi probably guessed the reason, thinking that at the beginning, the three gentlemen of Qiu Ling Courtyard were against the city lord Qiu Sheng for him. Now that Qiu Lingyuan has become like this, it must have an inseparable relationship with Qiu Sheng.
Wang Yang tried to push the door, but he pushed the door open, and then glanced at Bai Yi.
"You two go in and have a look, I have something I want to talk to him. Bai Yi commanded.
Wang Yang looked at the crazy man, and didn't understand why Bai Yi wanted to talk to him, but since it was ordered by the master, he just did it.
"Hey, you kid, why did you bring me here, tell me Qiu Sheng's whereabouts, and I'll leave. After the crazy middle-aged man watched Wang Yang and Bai Qingyou enter, he said impatiently.
"Senior, tell me the truth, who are you?" Bai Yi asked.
"Why should I tell you, waiting for you to report to the old thief Qiu Sheng?"
"You should know each other here, right? This is the Qiu Ling Courtyard that your great-grandfather personally supervised. ā
"You...... Do you know who I am?"
"Qiu Jian, your brother is Qiu Sheng. ā
"How do you know?" Qiu Jian looked at Bai Yi in amazement.
Bai Yi sneered and analyzed: "Qiu Sheng has been very cautious all his life, since he sat on the position of the city lord, he cherishes his reputation very much, and has always shown himself to be honest and loves the people, and he has never heard of an enemy, even if ordinary people will not offend him, how can he make enemies? However, his only enemy is his brother. When the old city lord was alive, he wanted to pass on the position of city lord to you. But in order to get the position of the city lord, Qiu Sheng killed the old city lord, did a lot of dirty things, framed you, and put you on death row, so he got the position of the city lord. But don't know how you escaped from death row. ā
Qiu Jian laughed and said, "You kid is quite smart, you can even guess things without leaving ten. Saying this, Qiu Jian's gaze became ferocious: "Qiu Sheng's old thief, in order to get the position of the city lord, he actually killed his father, although he didn't kill me, but he transferred me to the death row of Fanyou City. For decades, I have lived a dark life on death row in Panyou City, and this revenge has never been forgotten. Fortunately, God has eyes, and this time the prisoners filled the northern frontier and released me. I was almost killed on the volleyship, but I was able to escape. ā
"Coincidentally, I was the one who destroyed the ship. Bai Yi smiled.
"You? That big bell is your magic weapon? You are young, don't blow through the cowhide. ā
"If you don't believe it, look at it!" As soon as Bai Yi stretched out his hand, the Yuntian Clock appeared in his hand, and with the thought of it, the Yuntian Clock quickly became larger, and when it was as big as a person, it was put away.
"Sure enough, it's ......" Qiu Jian was originally a man of temperament, and his grievances were clear, so he immediately knelt down for Bai Yi. "Thank you!"
Bai Yi hurriedly helped Qiu Jian up: "There is no need to make this big gift. ā
Qiu Jian's attitude towards Bai Yi immediately changed and became very polite.
"Engong, just now you said, you know Qiu Sheng's whereabouts now, but is it true?"
"Qiu Sheng has been killed by me. ā
"Kill Qiu Sheng, I don't believe it!" Qiu Jian looked at Bai Yi suspiciously.
"You should know this!" Bai Yi shook the token in his hand, it was a golden token, shining with golden light, and on the token, there was a word "Qiu".
"City Lord Token!" That's right, this token Qiu Jian has seen his City Lord father hanging on his waist every day since he was a child, and he will definitely not admit his mistake.
"I didn't leave you to slash the enemy with your own hands, I'm really sorry for you. ā
"Kill!" Qiu Jian was stunned, after waiting for decades, what could support him until now was revenge. But now, the enemy is dead, and he suddenly feels that these decades have been in vain. If he was someone else and robbed him of the opportunity to kill the enemy, he would fight hard with this person, but Bai Yi was kind to him and couldn't do anything to Bai Yi.
"The enemy is dead, where should I go?" Qiu Jian shook his head lonely.
"That's what I'm talking to you about, I want you to be the lord of the city, this city lord is yours, there's nothing reluctant, right?"
"If you want me to be the city lord, what is your purpose?" Qiu Jian began to doubt Bai Yi's purpose in helping him.
Bai Yi didn't hide anything, and directly said what he thought in his heart: "Qiu Sheng took refuge in the crown prince Honglie, and it stands to reason that Xiaqiu City has become Honglie's territory. Therefore, once the news of Qiu Sheng's disappearance reached Honglie's side, he would take over the city. I won't watch Honglie swallow Xiaqiu City, are you willing to give up your ancestor's city to others?"
"It is natural for me to defend my ancestral business with my life, but what do you want?"
"Because one day I'm going to fight Hongyeol head-on, I'm going to look for an opportunity to weaken him. ā
"Honglie is the prince of today, and he will be the son of the summer in the future. How can you compete with the Son of Heaven?
"Then stop him from being a big summer. ā
"You're crazy! Why do you think you can shake the prince?"
"It's just that I'm crazy, if people go crazy, they dare to poke a hole in the sky, maybe one day, I also have the urge to pierce the sky. Your life was given by me, your enemy was killed by me, and with this city lord token, you can be your city lord back. I gave you everything, how can you repay me?"
Qiu Jian sighed, then relieved, knelt down on one knee to Bai Yi, and said, "From now on, Qiu Jian is willing to listen to Engong's dispatch." ā
"Please, you and I will be colleagues in the future, and we don't have to kneel. Bai Yi picked up Qiu Jian, and handed over the city lord token to Qiu Jian.
"If there's something you can't handle, I'm here to help. ā
"Thank you!"
"Let's first bring Qiu Lingyuan over, and then let the city guards serve, and then surrender the internal guards, with the city lord token, you don't have to be afraid anymore, if anyone doesn't accept it, there will be no mercy!"
"That's right, you have to be iron-fisted to be convincing. ā
"Bai Yi, sure enough, it's Bai Yi! Why don't you come in when you're back?" It was Lin Shan who spoke, and he walked out of the courtyard with a loud voice.
"Sir, don't come here unharmed?" Bai Yi said.
Lin Shan pulled Bai Yi to look left and right, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Oh! Bai Yi, I thought you went to Northern Xinjiang to die for a lifetime, but later I listened to Xiao Linzi, who was selected by the disciples of Fucheng, say that you actually became an elder of the Yunxiang Sect." This is great news. Come on, let me see, I'm more energetic than before, not at all like the stupid boy I used to be, haha!"
"Sir, you're still the same. Bai Yi smiled lightly.
"I don't know if this is ......" Lin Shan glanced at Qiu Jian, who looked like a beggar and a madman.
"The city lord of Xiaqiu City, Qiu Jian. Bai Yi introduced.
"Bai Yi, stop kidding. ā
"No kidding, Qiu Sheng will never come back, he is the next city lord. ā
Since Bai Yi left Xiaqiu City two and a half years ago, Qiu Ling Yuan also offended Qiu Sheng because of this, and since then, Qiu Ling Yuan has never received any subsidies for repairs, and after being often destroyed inexplicably, only three gentlemen paid for repairs themselves, and finally, exhausted their family wealth, all of which were used to repair and maintain the lives of Qiu Ling Academy's students.
The three gentlemen have cut down on food and clothing, and in order to maintain this dignity, it is not easy to persist so far. The news of Qiu Sheng's disappearance made them excited, and they hoped that Qiu Sheng would not come back alive.
When they heard Bai Yi personally say that Qiu Sheng was dead, they couldn't believe it. The three of them had joined forces to fight Qiu Sheng, and they could crush them in one move. Could Qiu Sheng of the Martial Sect Realm die in the hands of Bai Yi?
Can Qiu Jian, who is as down-and-out as a beggar in front of him, really become the next city lord?
But Bai Yi's words, they had to believe that since Bai Yi was sent to northern Xinjiang to fill the army, in the past two years, the three gentlemen have always felt ashamed of Bai Yi and failed to protect Bai Yi. Now that Bai Yi is back, he has achieved an achievement that they can't match.
Such an excellent Bai Yi, who has not forgotten his roots, how could he deceive them?
So, Bai Yi said that he would naturally agree to the matter of standing on the united front with Qiu Jian. In fact, there is no contradiction, Qiu Jian can become the city lord, and Qiu Lingyuan's life will be better. If agreeing to an alliance is beneficial to both sides, why not!
The three students of Qiu Ling Academy, when they heard that the mythical predecessors, Bai Yi and Wang Yang, were back, and they couldn't help but want to see the style of these two legends.
Wang Yang did not participate in their conversation, so he took Bai Qingyou around Qiu Ling Courtyard to visit. Then, he was surrounded by a group of teenagers and asked questions.
can make this group of children envious in his heart, Wang Yang is still quite proud in his heart, but he doesn't like to express it.
Bai Qingyou was also embarrassed by this group of enthusiastic children, but when she heard them call Sister Beauty, she couldn't stop laughing.
The two of them were annoyed by these students' various inquiries about the Cloud Xiangzong, and hurriedly looked for an opportunity to slip away.
