In Sunset City, people are celebrating against the attack of the beast tide, the city gate has been opened, and some people who have not had time to enter the city have also entered the city to seek shelter.

And in this group of people, Mo Lan saw Wang Tingyue with a sluggish face, with multiple scars on her body.

She suddenly raised her head to meet Mo Lan's gaze, and then it seemed that she had seen something, and hope ignited in her eyes.

She rushed over and knelt in front of Gong Yi, "Lord, Lord, I am Wang Tingyue of Qianhe Sect, my senior brother Chu Li was separated from me when he was in the beast tide, I can't find him now, please have mercy on the prince, take me in for the time being, and when I find my senior brother, I will leave!" ”

Gong Yi looked at her coldly, "There are temporary shelters built in the city for the suffering to live, if you don't have a place to go, you can go there." ”

Saying that she was about to move forward, Wang Tingyue didn't know where she got the courage to pull Gong Yi's clothes.

"Lord, I won't trouble you, the temporary residence is mixed, I don't dare to go to my daughter's house."

Many people who entered the city noticed the movement here and stopped one after another.

Gong Yi was obviously impatient, and his left thumb was against the sword grid, and the blade of the sword had been exposed by an inch.

"Heh, which crazy woman should I be, it turned out to be from Qianhe Sect, when the Seven Princes organized a retreat, didn't you believe it? insisted on staying in the town, and also instigated a lot of people! ”

The person who came looked mocking, and the clothes on his body were also bloodstained and tattered.

"How good are you from the Liuyun Sect, didn't you follow the Seven Princes into the city? Why are you still here! What's more, we stayed, it was at the orders of the four princes, if you want to blame, you go to the four princes! My senior brother doesn't know where he is now, you just look at me and bully me alone! ”

Wang Tingyue sat on the ground and began to cry, Mo Lan directly pulled out her sword and put it on her neck.

"Lord Wang, her nonsense like this is related to the reputation of the four princes, whether she wants to deal with it."

Wang Tingyue was so frightened that she immediately silenced, and looked at Mo Lan incredulously with a blushing face and tears.

Gong Yi regained his grip on the sword and restrained his murderous aura, "Bring people to the City Lord's Mansion, as well as the people of the Liuyun Sect." ”

"Yes."

After receiving Gong Yi's instructions, Mo Lan immediately commanded the people of the city defense camp and brought the relevant cadres to the City Lord's Mansion.

And at this moment, in the City Lord's Mansion, Gong Yudong was crooked on the soft chair drinking fine wine, and the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect were simply blind, most of them blushed with shame, lowered their heads and remained silent.

Lingxi was a little surprised after seeing Mo Lan, "Miss Mo, why are you here?" ”

Mo Lan held his sword and hugged his hand, "Master Lingxi, I came with the disciples of the academy to participate in the trial, but I encountered the beast tide and got separated. ”

Lingxi could see at a glance that the sword in her hand was extraordinary, and her face was full of admiration, "Your sword ......"

Mo Lan glanced at his sword, then put it down, "I got it by accident." ”

Suddenly, a sword patted her on the shoulder, and Gong Yi walked back, "Keep up." ”

Mo Lan immediately said goodbye to them, leaving Lingxi with a sluggish face.

"Senior brother, how did you recognize her at a glance, if you hadn't taken the initiative to call him, I would have thought it was a beautiful woman that the prince had collected somewhere."

Ling Yin approached Lingxi with a gossipy face, and bumped into him in a daze, "However, if I'm not mistaken, the sword in Miss Mo's hand is exactly the same as the one in the prince's hand." ”

Lingxi glanced at him, "What she has hanging around her waist is the token I gave her, otherwise I wouldn't dare to recognize it, and besides, keep your mouth shut, otherwise Uncle Gong will treat you as an experimental subject." ”

Ling Yin covered his mouth and glanced at Gong Yudong, who was staggering in front of him, fortunately, he was drunk.

Gong Yudong saw Mo Lan in a daze, and stood up suddenly, forming circles under his feet, as if Tai Chi, "Granddaughter-in-law!" ”

His voice made the originally busy and noisy hall quiet for a moment, and the echo of the three words of granddaughter-in-law clearly reached everyone's ears.

Mo Lan clenched her sword and silently recited in her heart: respecting the old and loving the young is a traditional virtue.

"He was drunk, and asked the city lord to order someone to take him down to rest." Gong Yi walked to the main seat and sat down, and the city lord of Sunset City was looking at Mo Lan with a smile at the moment.

Hearing him say this, he waved his hand, and immediately two people left with Gong Yudong on their back, and the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect also left.

"What's going on in the city now?"

"Many nearby towns have been attacked, and there are some remote villages, there are probably tens of thousands of people who have taken refuge in the city today, no, even my main hall is vacant for your imperial grandfather to drink alcohol."

The city lord smiled as he spoke, "When he came just now, he said that you might be hanging, and I was quite sad. ”

Gong Yi glanced at him coldly, and he immediately sat upright.

"Now there are 10,433 people who have entered the city and registered, including dozens of sects, major guilds, and people from the royal families of the Three Kingdoms, this is the first time that my Sunset City has been so lively."

Gong Yi rubbed his eyebrows, "Where are my two nephews now?" ”

"Your seventh child is still busy working outside the house, helping to settle it, the fourth child, I guess I'm tired, and I've gone to rest."

"Go get both of them."

The lord of the city immediately motioned to the people at the door to find someone.

Wang Tingyue and the people of the Liuyun Sect stood in the main hall, and Mo Lan and Li Shoufeng automatically stood behind Gong Yi.

After a while, Gong Ruize and Gong Hongyi came in together, and the latter was already pale.

The previous person had already confessed, and after receiving Mo Lan's notice, Gong Ruize immediately contacted the magistrate to evacuate.

At that time, the town had not yet felt any warning of the coming beast tide, and Gong Hongyi took the lead in refusing to evacuate.

Even almost had a big fight, some of the sect's disciples and people chose to stay, and more people evacuated to Sunset City in order to save their lives.

The crowd evacuated in batches and in an orderly manner, and almost all of them withdrew before sunset.

When passing through a village, where people were trapped in the cellar, the disciples of the Liuyun Sect took the initiative to rescue them, delaying the time to enter the city.

The disciples of Qianhe Sect had different opinions, Chu Li took some of his disciples to retreat first, and those who were unwilling to leave followed Wang Tingyue to stay by Gong Hongyi's side.

"You say, why are they still outside the city, and you have already gone into the city to rest!"

Gong Yi raised his voice, unconcealing his anger.

"I... I thought about it later, if there was really a beast tide, it would be a dead end to stay in the town, so I left. ”

Gong Hongyi buried his head so low that he could barely hear his voice.

Gong Yi stepped down from his position, "Then do you have the person you choose to choose and you stay?" ”

"I... I..."

"Say!"

Gong Hongyi was instantly frightened, and knelt on the ground with a crying voice, "I didn't, I also did it for the sake of the royal face, Uncle Huang, if the seventh brother just left, I will inform them to evacuate, what will others think of me?" What do you think of the royal family? ”

Wang Tingyue turned her head suddenly, "You actually left by yourself!" It's ridiculous that I also invited two juniors to find your traces! ”

Uneasy, frightened turned into anger at this moment, Gong Hongyi pulled Wang Tingyue's collar, "If you hadn't betrayed me, how would Uncle Huang know about this!" Don't think that I don't know your little thoughts, seeing that you can't climb me, you want to climb up to the imperial uncle, shamelessly begging my imperial uncle to take you in at the city gate, the rivers and lakes are reckless, and you want to join the royal family! ”

Mo Lan frowned when she heard this, no wonder the others were in the City Lord's Mansion, but they arrived with Gong Ruize, it seemed that they had gone to inquire about the news.

The atmosphere in the main hall reached the freezing point in an instant, and it could be seen that Gong Yi was trying his best to endure it.

"Lord Wang, the casualty statistics are probably out."

Chifeng held a few booklets in his hand and looked at Gong Hongyi, who was kneeling on the ground, with a complicated expression.

Gong Yi picked up the booklet, flipped through a few pages, then closed it hard, pulled out the sword, the sword flashed, and Gong Hongyi's knees instantly spurted blood.

"Ahh

He fell to the ground in pain, clutching his wounds.

Everyone present was taken aback, they didn't expect him to be so cruel to his nephew.

Mo Lan was even more frightened and took a step back, and Li Shoufeng helped her in time.

"These thick books record every person who has died, and the corpse can still be found, and there are many people who have not left bones, who have not been registered, the lives of thousands of people! How are you responsible! Somebody, throw him into the dungeon! ”

Chifeng knelt down instantly, "Lord Wang, think twice!" ”

The city lord also walked down the steps, "Yes, you have to think twice, no matter what, he is still your nephew, the son of your imperial brother, his knees are just broken, and he is only afraid of his life when he enters the dungeon at this moment." ”

Gong Yi's jaw was tense, the sword in his hand was trembling, and blood was still dripping.

"It's better to lock him in the room and dispose of it when he returns to Beijing Bingming."

Mo Lan suddenly spoke, she knew that if Gong Hongyi died in the hands of Gong Yi at this time, even if the emperor didn't attack Gong Yi, he would break his wings, and at that time, the Mo family was only afraid that it would not be safe.

Gong Yi glanced at her, Mo Lan instantly lowered her head, a little trembling, it was the first time she saw Gong Yi angry, and this time of getting along made her forget that he was the decisive Hades.

"Take it down."

After a long time, Gong Yi spoke, and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

The city lord patted him on the shoulder and waved everyone out.

Mo Lan was grabbed as she passed by him.

Feeling her trembling, Gong Yi let go of her hand.

"Even if someone stays in the town, there shouldn't be so many people killed, can you change your appearance and help me check."

He took off his mask, his face was full of pleading, and for the first time he looked at Mo Lan with pleading eyes.

"The prince commanded, and Mo Lan should obey."

After thinking about it for a while, Mo Lan still mustered up the courage to speak, "Actually, when the Liuyun Sect went to save the villagers, I had doubts, the beast tide had not arrived, and they were the first to evacuate, so they should not have entered the city last, maybe someone was plotting against him, the crowd here is complicated, Mo Lan is afraid, the people hidden in Sunset City have a bigger conspiracy." ”

"What do you want to do?"

"This place intersects with Hening Mansion, Qingyang Mansion, and Northern Xinjiang, and the army guarding the north can't move, so an advance team will be transferred from Qingyang Mansion, all composed of array mages who can open the teleportation array, lurking outside Sunset City, if there is any abnormal movement, open the teleportation array, and support it as soon as possible."

Gong Yi walked to a chair and sat down, wiped the sword clean, and didn't say a word.
