Suddenly there were many more pedestrians in the streets, each carrying a large bag of grain or some cloth and medicinal herbs, and they walked westward, their faces depressed and unfocused, as if they were rushing to the battlefield to face a cruel death.

Jielan and the three of them were going out of the city from the west, so they were also caught in these crowds.

After walking for a while, three soldiers suddenly came from the opposite side, the one who walked in front held the scabbard hanging from his waist, and looked angry, and the two behind him pulled a cart, and on the cart lay a soldier in a red robe, his chest and clothes were cut out by a sharp blade, and the sternum covered with blood was exposed, it seems that this is his fatal wound.

Jielan took a closer look at this person, but it was the red-robed guest who intercepted their carriage last night, this person was Kong Jing's descendant, but why did he suddenly die violently? When the two soldiers walked in front of them, Jielan saw the wound clearly, it was caused by the fierce finger force, she suddenly thought of Cheng Feng, remembered the red blood left on his fingertips, then this person was killed by him, but why? When Jielan turned around and wanted to inquire about him, he was missing from the vast crowd, and his indifferent and arrogant figure was missing.

"What about him?" Jielan asked Qi Xue, who was still concerned about the red-robed guest beside her.

Qi Xue turned around and looked at Jielan, looked around again, and suddenly became more nervous than Jielan: "It was still there just now, how could it be?" Don't? "It's hard for Sakiyuki to calm down.

Jielan knew that Qi Xue was the most reassuring person, so she said, "It should be not far away, he is so powerful, how can something happen?" ”

But Jielan knew that this was just a word of relief, and she was worried that something would happen to him, because killing the soldier in the city would definitely attract the attention of those officers and soldiers, and now his demonic power was sealed by himself, and if he really encountered danger, he was afraid that it would be too late to save him.

Suddenly, Jielan realized that she was worried about the safety of the demon, which made her a little stunned and disgusted, but she thought that she must just be worried about him for Qi Xue, and how could she take him to heart.

The two turned around and looked in the direction where they came from, and the bustling streets were crowded with people, and the two were caught in the crowd, and it was extremely difficult to even walk, let alone find someone.

However, when a person's figure flashed in front of Jielan's eyes, Jielan was suddenly stunned, she couldn't believe her eyes, and it was even harder to believe that this was the truth, when the figure left sight, Jielan hurriedly opened the crowd and chased after the figure, she knew that even if she was wrong, she would rather believe that figure.

Qi Xue saw Jielan, who was so desperate to lose her soul, and hurriedly shouted, "Did you see him?" ”

Jielan didn't answer, just chased after the familiar figure, but in the end, the figure disappeared into the crowd, as if it was a sad and bleak dream, and everything disappeared when she woke up.

Qi Xue, who finally caught up with Jielan, gasped and asked, "Blue, what are you chasing?" Is it Chengfeng? ”

She still looked like she had lost her soul, and she just shook her head, her disappointed eyes losing their brightness.

"And who were you chasing?"

"Maybe I'm wrong." Jielan smiled bitterly, "How could he still be alive, and how could he appear here?" ”

"You've confused me, who the hell are you talking about? Someone you knew before? Qi Xue asked curiously.

Jielan shook her head, "I've only known him for a few hours. She paused, as if recalling that night, which made her feel both sweet and sad, "but I would rather never know him in my life, or he wouldn't have died because of me." ”

Qi Xue looked at Jielan's sad appearance, although she wanted to ask again, but she was afraid of touching the most hurtful part of her heart, so she kept silent and stopped asking.

At this moment, a fiery red horse galloped in, the crowd dispersed to make way for a way, Qi Xue and Jielan were also involuntarily forced back by the crowd, they looked towards the sound of the horse's hooves, but saw that the man was wearing black armor, wearing a red cloak, and a long sword hanging from his waist, and his rough face looked fierce and solemn.

How could such comers Qi Xue and Jielan not remember that in order to save their lives, they did not hesitate to let others be used as demon bait, and abandoned their subordinates to flee for their lives alone. Just as Qi Xue was about to step forward to teach him a lesson, Jielan took her hand and whispered in her ear, "Don't be impulsive, bear with it first." Although Qi Xue could not suppress the anger in her heart, she did not want to disobey Jielan's intentions, so she did not move.

But what I didn't expect was that all the people around me knelt down to worship when they saw Kong Jing, and only Jielan and the two stood proudly in the group, although the two of them could blend in the crowd and bow to him without being discovered, but how could they give up their dignity and bow down for such a person?

Jielan has spiritual power in her hands at any time, as long as Kong Jing orders his subordinates to come and arrest the two of them, she will use her spiritual power to force him back, and then take advantage of the chaos to escape with Qixue.

But that Kongjing only glanced at Jielan and them, and then ignored them, he dismounted, helped the people who knelt in front of him, and said, "You don't have to be like this, get up quickly, how can I stand it." ”

The old man who was helped up by him suddenly burst into tears: "General, you have to save our suffering people, my family can't pay so many taxes, and my two children can't go to prison!" ”

"I will respond to your difficulties with the city lord, it's really hard for everyone, I'm really ashamed of you as a general, but please rest assured, I will definitely do my best to help you persuade the city lord to reduce taxes this year." Kong Jing's sincere demeanor seemed to have changed, and he couldn't see the arrogance and hypocrisy of the past.

Perhaps this is the most clever, otherwise how can these people be convinced of him.

The three soldiers walked up to him and bowed down on one knee and saluted, "General! ”

Kong Jing glanced at the deceased, his brows furrowed slightly, and his face immediately became solemn: "What's the matter with him?" ”

"When we were defending the city last night, we saw the Qi guard, and he said that he had something important to see the general, but suddenly a white-clothed guest appeared and killed the Qi guard, and his subordinates were incompetent and failed to catch the man."

"Did he say anything before he died?"

"The subordinates heard him say that he saw the female demon of Xueling Mountain, and the latter was killed before he finished speaking."

Kong Jing snorted and didn't say anything more, but his frowning brow didn't stretch for a moment.

"General, do you want to send someone to arrest that man?"

"I have my own opinion, you let him be buried alive, find his family, and give him compensation."

"Yes!" The soldier stood up, "Men quit!" He ordered the two men behind him to pull the dead man away, and he himself retreated.

Kong Jing looked around, looking at the people who were still kneeling down, but only the two girls were missing, Kong Jing smiled coldly, and he didn't take it to heart, and he repeated the same tone to the people who bowed down to him.
