Although Chao Ya was a little disappointed that the city lord had not fully believed in him, he was also a little relieved to think that the lord had somewhat changed his opinion, "The lord can understand the last general's painstaking efforts, and the last general is already grateful." ”

"Get up!" Du Ju's expression was calm, "But the lord still has to go back to the city, as the lord of a city, how can he abandon the city and flee because of the threat of the courtiers." With that, he turned back and walked out of the woods. Seeing this, Chao Ya hurriedly stepped forward to chase after him, and said while chasing: "Lord, you must not, this time you go to Kongjing must know that you have noticed his rebellious intentions, and he will definitely attack the lord, now the military power is all in his hands, and the commander of Lu You went north to exterminate the Northern Yandi, and there is no one in the city court to protect the safety of the lord, so you must not go back!" ”

Chao Ya's pleas did not pay any attention to them, and still walked briskly towards the woods.

After a few steps, there was a sound of hurried footsteps at one end of the woods, the footsteps were neat and loud, accompanied by the sound of swords colliding, and it seemed that a large number of officers and soldiers were chasing after them.

"Oh? It seems that Kongjing has come to pick up the master! Du Ju stopped, waiting for the empty man to come and greet him.

Chao Ya was a little frightened in his heart, he knew that it was not easy to take the Lord out of the city, how could he be brought back by Kong Jing again, he ran forward and said, "Offend the crime of rudeness!" Chao Ya's elbow lifted and slammed into the back of Duju's neck. Duju suffered pain in the back of his neck, and he fainted.

Carrying his lord on his back, he scurried deep into the jungle, hoping to evade his pursuers.

.................

Escaping from the woods, there is a green hill at the foot of a stream, and at the top of the stream there is a deserted temple.

The quiet scenery here could not keep Chao Ya's panicked heart, he carried the Lord on his back, walking more and more slowly, but the pursuers behind him chased more and more closely.

"Only when you go to that temple and hide the Lord will speak." Chao Ya ran towards the temple, his old face paling even paler as he went.

The temple is a bit dilapidated, with cobwebs hanging from the front of the house, and the door is ajar, and the light inside is dim so you can't see anything clearly.

Chao Ya pushed open the temple door and walked into the temple. The temple was littered with tables and chairs, dust and dirt were piled up in a thick layer, the oil lamps and incense candles on the shrine were piled up haphazardly, and a large Buddha statue in the temple was intact. Chao Ya looked around and saw that only after placing the city lord in the Buddhist shrine would it not be easy to be discovered by Kongjing's pursuers. He walked behind the Buddha, took the city lord off his back, and reclined him on top of the Buddha.

However, at this moment, Du Ju began to ache again in his chest, and he woke up from his dizziness, he looked at the man in front of him, and his eyes burst out with hatred, "You... If you dare to treat your master like this, your master will never spare you. ”

Chao Ya knelt down in fear, "The last general is also forced to do so, it doesn't matter how the lord wants to punish me in the future, but the last general will never hand over the lord to Kongjing again." ”

"You... You..."Du Ju wanted to scold Chao Ya again, but he didn't know what to scold.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the temple gate split it with their swords, and a large number of officers and soldiers rushed in and began to look for it.

Du Ju wanted to scream, but Chao Ya immediately sealed his dumb hole, Du Ju couldn't scream, and only stared at Chao Ya viciously with bloodshot eyes.

After a while, a man with short red hair and a long sword at his waist walked in, and he was Kong Jing, who looked calm and calmly looked around, but when he saw the row of footprints in the temple leading straight to the back of the Buddhist shrine, he already knew that someone was hiding behind the Buddhist shrine.

"The rebel who hijacked the lord should come out and surrender by himself, if Ben will go in, you will have no way to live, and you will be executed immediately."

Du Ju behind the Buddhist shrine was still struggling a little, trying to get Kong Jing's attention and rescue himself. Chao Ya was a little disheartened with the city lord, and when he came to this desperate situation, he was dead before and after anyway, so he could only let it go, and he said softly to the city lord: "If the lord does not know the heart of the end of the city, and does not know the painstaking plan of the lord of the city, then go out here, and the lord listens carefully to the heart of the thief who is a traitor." ”

Chao Ya stood up, flicked his right hand towards his face, and used the illusion technique to transform into the appearance of the city lord. Du Ju looked at the person in front of him who had become exactly like himself with some surprise, and he didn't know what his intentions were.

Chao Ya staggered out of the Buddhist altar. When all the soldiers saw someone coming out of the shrine, they were on guard with their swords. However, when Kong Jing saw that this person was actually the city lord, he was a little puzzled, and he ordered the soldiers to collect the sword weapon, "Wait, this person is the city lord." ”

When the soldiers heard this, they were a little frightened, and they hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"Dare to ask where the thief is?" Kong Jing asked.

"The master went out of the city by himself, but he didn't expect to be chased by your troops." Chao Ya calmed his mind and pretended to be inviolable.

"But Gonggong Han said that the lord was kidnapped out of the city by the peasant guards, and even the stunned guards in the 'Yuehua Pavilion' were brought out by the lord by the peasant beard, so how could he be alone."

"Yes, it's true, when you chased after you, the farmer's beard guard hid the master here, and then left himself, saying that he wanted to lead you away, but I didn't expect you to find it anyway."

Kong Jing's expression became solemn, "Listening to the tone, the Lord seems to have a heart for the traitor, but he wants to murder the Lord's person, how can the Lord easily forgive such a person." ”

"Really? I think the peasant guards are loyal, but I am very disappointed in you. ”

Kong Jing's whole face was gloomy, "Could it be that the last general has offended the lord somewhere, and the lord said so." ”

Chao Ya snorted coldly, "In the past ten years, you have been tempting the master, don't you know that you are the master?" I command you to send the criminals of the city to the Northern Flame Land to serve in the labor, so that they may pay for their sins, and at the end of the service period, they may return home, and if any of them are outstanding in the group, they can be recruited as soldiers, but over the years, I have sent soldiers to investigate, and you want to turn the Northern Flame into your private army. You deliberately captured many innocent people in the city, and then sent them to the Northern Flame Land to be forced to serve, and the interlocutors tortured them in every way, and even you spared your life, and everyone who did not meet your requirements was fed to the demons. You also privately cast horcruxes and domesticate demon beasts, you say that what the master said is false? ”

Kong Jing sneered, "The Lord seems to be seriously ill, and he is talking nonsense, so the last general should be sent back to the city court as soon as possible to receive treatment from the imperial doctor." ”

"The master is not sick, but General Kongjing is not lightly ill. Ten years ago, you said that the back of the city was a demon, so you reported to the owner, the owner was deceived by you at that time, so I really thought that the back of the city was a demon, but in fact, you let the possessed demon possess the body behind the city, so that the owner could see the form of the demon behind the city, and the owner was fooled by you, and in the end he gave the queen of the city to death, and exiled my son. Kongjing, how can you afford this crime? ”

Kong Jing looked at Du Ju with a grand face, and immediately laughed wildly, "Please remember that the person who thinks that the queen of the city is a demon is the lord, the person who gives death to the city is the lord, and the person who expels the young master from Chiyan City is also the lord, and the last general is just an order." ”

"So you're admitting." Chao Ya asked fiercely.
