The tenement building, which used to be bustling, is now silent.

Heavy, anxious, flustered.

The uneasy mood, the tense atmosphere, brewing in the air, wandering among the crowd, teaching people to almost suffocate.

Xu Zixian sat in the center, swept his gaze over the silent people around him, and then looked at the solemn girl beside him, with some doubts in his eyes.

He was originally staying in the room, thinking carefully about today's fight with Gu Xiaodong, but he didn't want to be suddenly dragged here by Tang Yu from the room.

The people around him, men and women, old and young, were all bitter and gloomy, obviously having encountered something difficult.

Xu Zixian had the heart to ask, but he didn't want to take the lead, so he asked Tang Yu.

"What happened?"

Tang Yu shook his head, cast his eyes on the crowd, and opened his mouth lightly, and the crisp and pleasant girl's voice broke the heavy silence.

"Everyone, now that you have entered my tenement building, you don't need to have any scruples."

She said softly.

"Whatever is difficult, you can say it."

Hearing this, the silent crowd immediately became agitated.

Everyone pushed and shoved, noisy and noisy, their faces were full of confusion and hesitation, and no one stood up to speak.

The reason why they had the audacity to enter this tenement building, which they didn't dare to look at in the past, was naturally to beg Tang Yu to help them save their relatives.

But now that the matter is coming, they are a little afraid to speak.

The reason is that Tang Yu's performance today is too majestic and domineering.

Even the Xuancang City Lord and the disciples of the Sword Sect had to concede three points against her, and they, ordinary people, would not be cowardly in front of her.

The second is because people are precious and I am light, and they are not relatives, so it is true that they can't open their mouths.

However, the matter is about the closest relatives, no matter how cowardly and embarrassed they are, there will always be people who dare to stand up.

The gentry who was huddled in the crowd was also like the rest of the people, hesitating and not daring to speak.

was entangled, and Wang Ergou at hand suddenly tugged on his sleeve.

"Daddy."

The little boy with a tiger's head and a tiger's brain, his eyes were full of tears at some point.

"Aren't we waiting for our mother at home?"

"If she comes home and can't see us, she'll be in a hurry."

He cried and asked, "When will my mother come back?" ”

Suddenly, Wang Shen was struck by lightning.

Countless memories flooded over him.

He remembered her timidity when she first met, her shyness when she was excited, her joy when she got married, her pride when she had a child, and...

The calm when he was captured, the fear and despair hidden underneath, the back that didn't look back when he left, and the slightly trembling feet.

It was the child's mother, his treasure, God's gift to him.

She was snatched away, but he couldn't do anything, and now that he had the opportunity, he cowered.

He's damned!

Wang Shen gritted his teeth and strode to the front of the crowd.

"Lord Patrol, please be kind, save the cheap, save the villain's family!"

He dragged Wang Ergou, father and son, pushing the golden mountain and pouring the jade pillar, both kneeling in front of Xu Zixian and Tang Yu.

"The disciple of the Sword Sect that the Lord killed today had previously forcibly taken away the Cheap Sect on the grounds that the big people in the sect needed someone to serve him."

"The young husband and wife, both of whom had both parents dead, only relied on each other to support each other to survive and get to where they are today."

"Now that she has been arrested and taken to the Sword Sect for no reason, I don't know how many crimes she will suffer, how many insults she will suffer, her little heart is anxious, but she is helpless, there is really no way, so I ask you to come here."

"I beg the adults, help the little ones to save the cheap ones, the little ones don't ask for revenge, and they don't ask the adults to help the little ones uphold justice, I just want the cheap ones to return safely."

After that, he kowtowed to Tang Yu very hard, and the sound of "bang, bang" was endless for a while.

"My lord, please, save my mother!"

The little boy next to Wang Shen also kowtowed with tears on his face.

"Ergou can't live without his mother, he can't live without a home!"

"You..."

As early as when the father and son knelt down, Xu Zixian and Tang Yu both got up and left their seats and stood beside them.

Now seeing that the two of them kowtowed again, they hurriedly stepped forward and tried to help them up.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, a few more "poofs" sounded.

They raised their heads, and immediately found that more and more people, following Wang Shen's father and son, knelt down in front of Tang Yu.

I don't know when, the surroundings are already dense, and I fell to my knees.

"Please, sir, save my daughter..."

"My little sister has just gotten married..."

"The child in the family has not been weaned yet, and the child is..."

"My hard-working sister hasn't had a good life for a few days..."

These people behaved in a variety of ways, from sobbing to grief, to howling loudly, to weeping silently.

They have different identities, they have parents, brothers, husbands, and children.

But at this moment, they all knelt on the ground and asked Tang Yu for the same thing.

Ask Tang Yu to save their relatives from the Wind Listening Sword Sect.

Nearly 100 people knelt on the ground and kowtowed in unison.

More than 40 families, because of listening to the Wind Sword Sect, separated from their close relatives, did not become a family.

Faced with this situation, Tang Yu's pretty face was full of anger, his eyes were cold, and the blood in his chest was surging.

She taught the kneeling crowd to get up first, then cleared their throats and said in a straight voice, "Don't worry, everyone. ”

"Although the Tang family is engaged in business, they will not turn a blind eye to such evil things when they encounter such evil things."

"But it's a big deal, so I hope you can give me some time."

"When everything is clarified, this patrol envoy will definitely personally go to the Wind Sword Sect to bring back your relatives and seek justice for you!"

Hearing Tang Yu's loud promise, countless people cried loudly.

We don't cry because of sorrow, we cry because we see hope.

Weak and helpless, many people asked for help but there was no way, lived in the dark for a long time, and finally saw the light.

"Thank you, sir."

Hundreds of people knelt on the ground, kowtowed in unison, and when they raised their heads again, their eyes were already full of brilliance.

With a hard-won hope, everyone left the tenement building one after another in a thousand thanks.

After a while, the originally crowded and noisy lobby became silent.

After sending off those bitter masters, Tang Yu's emotions gradually calmed down, and in addition to resentment, there was also a touch of sadness in his eyes.

As for Xu Zixian, his face was still calm, but there was still some mockery in that calm.

His ridicule was not for those who had lost loved ones.

His ridicule was against Xuancang City and at Tianfeng Country.

It's hard to imagine how desperate these ordinary people should be to take a Tang family who came here by chance as a savior.

The Patrol Division, the City Guard Division, who was supposed to protect the people of the city, became the minions of others and aided the abuse.

Birdwall City is like this, and Xuancang City is even worse.

At least there is a good lord in Torigaki City, who dares to seek justice for the people of the city with his life.

And Xuancang City, I'm afraid it's rotten to the bones, which can be seen from today's events.

The nobles of the top-level palace are busy fighting for power and profit, the middle-level sect officials exploit and oppress all day long, and the low-level ordinary people can only let people and mermaids.

This Heavenly Wind Country, just like this bullshit world, is rotten.

Xu Zixian exhaled a breath of turbid air with a little annoyance, walked to the door, called out General Goose, and threw him out of the tenement building.

The big white goose fluttered its wings, flew into the sky, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Teach General Goose to investigate the Wind Listening Sword Sect?"

Tang Yu, who was also depressed in his heart, came to Xu Zixian's side, held the door frame with his hand, and looked up at the dim sky.

"It's okay, when I find those women who have been captured, I can immediately summon the Tang family's secret guards and go to the rescue."

"You'd better leave this matter alone."

Xu Zixian shook his head while commanding General Goose.

"It was just before, but now you are the Tang family's patrol envoy on the surface, everything you do, your words and deeds, all represent the Tang family, if you get involved, it will cause a lot of trouble in the future."

"If you move this rudder, the high-level people of the Wind Sword Sect will definitely not be able to sit still. Once your identity is recognized, there will be no peace in the future. There is only one last section left from Jiang Cheng, so it is better to be safe. ”

"Moreover..."

He looked at the girl beside him and said softly: "This matter has nothing to do with you and the Tang family, right?" ”

Tang Yuxiu frowned slightly.

She knew that Xu Zixian was telling the truth and was the best choice at the moment.

From a businessman's point of view, helping those ordinary people and going to the Listening Wind Sword Sect will not make any gains, not to mention, but will cause a lot of trouble and risk exposing their identities.

But...

I thought of Fang Cai's tear-stained face, and those eyes that rekindled hope.

Tang Yu, who has always been calm and self-controlled, rarely has red eyes.

"But, I've promised them."

"I said I would do justice for them, I said I would bring back their relatives."

"How can I leave it alone?!"

"I didn't say I didn't care."

Xu Zixian shook his head.

"I'm not from the Tang family, and I don't have any hidden identity. I have already provoked the Fuyan Sect, so I am not afraid of offending another Listening to the Wind Sword Sect. So..."

He stepped out of the door, stood in the empty street, stood in the last glimmer of the evening, and smiled back at the girl.

"I'll take care of this matter."

"But..."

Tang Yu's face was complicated.

"Doesn't this matter have nothing to do with you?"

Independent?

Naturally not.

Xu Zixian smiled but said nothing.

He was going to kill Gu Xiaodong, but now, there was just one more valid reason to kill him.

Moreover...

He is the person who holds the lamp, the person who holds the lamp for the common people.

Xuancang City was shrouded in darkness, and he walked forward as a lamp, lighting a light for the people in the city.

Thinking so, he waved his hand with his back to the girl, and crossed the last rays of the sun, and walked alone into the long, empty street full of darkness.
