The firelight lit up the sky, and the air was dull and dead, but the surroundings were surprisingly quiet. No voices, no neighing. Only the heavy metal that kept rubbing against each other collided with each other, and the terrifying footsteps sounded like a death knell.

Duan Xing anxiously ran to his father's side, with a panicked look on his face: "Father, is it from the City Lord's Mansion?"

Duan Cheng's eyes were firmly fixed on the flickering firelight in the sky, and he sighed and said, "Except for the City Lord Guards of Wuling City who can surround Xuanwu Hall silently, who else would have such a big move?"

Duan Xing trembled and asked in a panic, "Can't we go?"

Duan Cheng looked down at his son, although his son was already very sensible, he was only a sixteen-year-old boy after all. He hasn't had time to appreciate the wonders of this world yet, how can he be cut off here with himself?

Duan Cheng smiled slightly, gently stroked his son's head, and said with a firm face: "Don't worry, with me, I will never let you have & no & wrong & novel {} thing." I haven't done anything for you, and there's only so much I can give you, but you have to believe that no matter what the danger is, I'll still bear it. ”

At this time, the footsteps in the distance were hurried, and the group ran over quickly. Long Yunzhou could sense with the breath of the other party that many of them were clansmen who came here during the day to drive Duan Cheng away, and there was no lack of Duan Cheng's good second brother.

Although these people are in a hurry, the pace is disordered. But they deliberately kept their voices low, trying to remain silent in the dark. They were obviously afraid of disturbing the surrounding ironclad soldiers outside the Xuanwu Hall.

Duan Cheng's second brother rushed directly into the thatched hermitage, he glared at Duan Cheng angrily, and only then did he burst out full of anger at this moment: "You bastard, it is you two broom stars who have attracted the army of the City Lord's Mansion." How many times has the patriarch instructed you not to sell pills and not to sell pills, but you two still turn a deaf ear, do you want to drag everyone into hell?"

The second brother scolded Duan Cheng angrily, and his whole body trembled like chaff. The people who followed behind were all dead faces, and everyone trembled.

Thirty years ago, when the old city lord was alive, he had strictly ordered Xuanwu Hall not to sell pills without permission, and if there was any disobedience, it would be punished as the crime of collaborating with the enemy.

Although they don't know what the relationship between selling an elixir without permission has anything to do with the enemy, they know that the crime of collaborating with the enemy is a big crime, and it is a big crime that can kill everyone.

Now the soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion surrounded the Xuanwu Hall, sharpening their swords and Huo Huo was silent, as if he was going to face the enemy on the battlefield. This had to make everyone frightened, they thought that it must be Duan Xing who had annoyed the city lord by selling medicine privately, so the city lord sent a large army to kill their entire clan.

"Yes, these are the two broom stars. Originally, the Xuanwu Hall was glorious in the world, and there was an endless stream of people looking for medicine from all over the world, how brilliant the Xuanwu Hall was at that time. It's Duan Cheng, a bastard, who ruined our Xuanwu Hall, and now he has to cause everyone to die with him. ”

"He is just dissatisfied in his heart, thinking that everyone has been suppressing him for so many years. He himself felt that he didn't meet Huaicai, so he came up with this poisonous trick to let everyone die with him, this bastard was simply mad. ”

"Crazy heart, crazy heart.........." The people who came were gritting their teeth for a while, eager to bite Duan Cheng's neck to relieve the hatred in their hearts. They are like father-killers who have a deep hatred, and they have no family affection at all.

Duan Cheng looked at the crazy faces of these relatives, and suddenly felt that he was actually so redundant. Not to mention the peach forest he is in, I'm afraid it's a thatched hermitage, and these people won't give it to him.

He was disheartened, sighed heavily and said, "Second brother, brothers, Duan Cheng is sorry for everyone. I don't have the shame to stay here, so I left here with Xing'er and never came back. ”

As he spoke, he turned to pack his baggage, but his arms were tightly clamped.

He turned his head and saw his second brother looking at him fiercely, with a crazy look on his face: "Go? You caused such a big disaster, and you still want to leave? Leave so many of us with the butcher's knife in the City Lord's Mansion and then you take your son and leave? I tell you, it's impossible!"

The second brother roared angrily: "I will tie you and your son up and hand them over to the City Lord's Mansion, whoever does something wrong will bear it." Don't bother us all!"

Without waiting for Duan Cheng to speak, the second brother glanced behind him. More than a dozen men immediately rushed up, they tied up Duan Cheng's father and son, and several peers who usually looked at Duan Xing were even punched a few times in the stomach.

Although Duan Cheng is a first-class alchemist, he is not as good as an ordinary person in terms of skills. He and Duan Xing had no room to resist at all, and under the tearing of the angry strong men, they were quickly tied into zongzi and thrown aside.

The second brother smiled strangely, he looked at Duan Cheng viciously: "Duan Cheng, Duan Cheng, you finally have today, have you ever thought that you have today?"

He was like a filial son who slaughtered his father's enemy with his own hands, and his face was full of excitement: "Father gave you the most time and love, making you a genius that everyone envies, but he doesn't even look at us." Hehe, but he didn't expect that the genius he cultivated would eventually become like this one day. ”

"Duan Cheng, the more you gain, the more you lose. Your wife ran away, and today you and your son are going to die, this is fate. This is the life you took from us all fathers. "The second brother is already on the verge of madness.

Laughing, he waved his hand for the clansmen to carry away Duan Cheng's father and son, and when he left the thatched hermitage, he glanced at Ling Yun and the others. But he couldn't figure out where the other party came from, so he just sighed fiercely and left.

The Xuanwu Hall disaster was coming, and he didn't know if he could save the Xuanwu Hall with the lives of Duan Cheng's father and son. However, he was already very ecstatic in his heart, and his long-cherished wish for so many years finally came true, and this genius brother who snatched his father's love was finally trampled underfoot. That was enough, as long as he could see this brother dead or down, he would be happy.

As for Xuanwutang's loneliness or disappearance, what does the life and death of the clansmen have to do with him, all he wants is for this genius brother to fall ruthlessly at his feet.

When everyone was gone, Long Yunzhou asked Ling Yun angrily: "Why didn't you save them? Didn't you say that you wouldn't let them have an accident? You liar, you won't let me move if you don't save yourself, what are you thinking in your head?"

Ling Yun smiled and walked straight out of the house, leaving only a back for him: "Look at the show, don't be in such a hurry to destroy, maybe the things in the back will be more exciting?"

Long Yunzhou reluctantly followed, he really didn't know if this master was hard-hearted or if he loved to watch other people's tragedies, why was he so hateful!

The dilapidated gate of the Xuanwu Hall was already surrounded by iron-clad soldiers, holding Changge and hanging sharp blades from their waists. The red torches shone brightly, and a cold light shot out of the eyes.

Liu Qing was dressed in bright silver armor, which was very conspicuous in the moonlight. The cold color of the metal and the silver of the moonlight blended perfectly, and the murderous aura on his face was also much more solemn in the moonlight.

"Tell the city lord that the Xuanwu Hall has been completely surrounded, and not a single fly can fly out. The brothers of the bow and crossbow battalion are already deployed at a high place, if someone rushes out, they will immediately fire ten thousand arrows!" a captain half-knelt on the ground, and with a cold report, the murderous aura spread all over his body, like a knife that could be cut at any time.

"Got it, let's go down!" Liu Qing nodded slightly. He was able to be the lord of Wuling City at a young age, and his decision to kill has always come from his heart.

Give others the impression that this person is simply decisive and never hesitates to do things. Therefore, whether it is in the people of Wuling City or in the army, he has a very high prestige.

"City Lord, are you attacking?" asked a general beside him.

Liu Qing smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "Salute first and then soldier, we don't know who is coming." Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated. ”

He patted the horse's back, and the pure white steed walked towards the gate of the Xuanwu Hall with steady steps. The sergeants on the road avoided one after another, and although they were uniformed, they could not hide their respect for the city lord.

Liu Qing's horse stepped on the steps, and at this moment, the dilapidated gate of the Xuanwu Hall opened. Countless torches illuminated the gate, which had long been unattended, and many people poured out of it at once.

The soldiers roared outward, and the sound was amazing, and they all blocked Liu Qing's horse.

Those who came out of the Xuanwu Hall were also stunned, facing the strongest city lord guard in Wuling City, many of them were pale, their legs and stomachs trembled, and some even knelt down on the spot.

Liu Qing looked at the people in front of him with a smile, he knew from his dead father why he wanted to seal the Xuanwu Hall. I thought to myself that these people were the legendary alchemists, and they looked very timid.

"Who of you is the steward of the Xuanwu Hall?" Liu Qing's serious expression turned into a smile, and he couldn't help but be happy when he saw the frightened appearance of these people.

The second brother walked out of the crowd tremblingly, bent down and saluted: "The villain Duan Fei is the director of Xuanwu Hall. ”

"Kneel down .........." Countless voices sounded at the same moment, mighty and deep, Duan Fei was so frightened that his legs became weak, and he knelt down on the spot.

Liu Qing looked down at Duan Fei, who was majestic in the Xuanwu Hall, and said contemptuously, "Do you know why I came?"

Liu Qing didn't know Duan Fei, but Duan Fei knew Liu Qing. What a glorious role the city lord of Wuling City was, Duan Fei often watched Liu Qing gallop out of the city with the army on horseback, and he was naturally deeply impressed by him.

"The lord of the city forgives his sins, and the lord of the city spares his life. It's all my brother and nephew who can't do anything, and the rest of us in Xuanwu Hall have nothing to do. Duan Fei kept kowtowing, as sincere as kneeling down to worship his ancestors.

"I have ordered them both to be bound and left to the fall of the lord of the city. For the sake of our honesty, please let the rest of us go!" Duan Fei was already in tears, but instead of sincerely begging the other party to spare his life, he was frightened by the momentum of the city lord's palace guards.

Liu Qing was happy, watching the people of Xuanwutang push out the Duancheng father and son who were tied up like zongzi, he really wanted to laugh. It turned out that these people had misunderstood their intentions and thought that they were going to exterminate their Xuanwu Hall.

Liu Qing pointed at Duan Fei with a horsewhip and said disdainfully: "What a mess, what's the use of my family's waste, hand over the two strangers who live in your house, Lao Tzu is not interested in you!"
