Chapter 420: Recidivism
Seeing Zhou Tianlong talking about the defensive problems of Sunlan City, the faces of Mao Zhi and Zhao Cheng changed slightly, and they immediately realized that something was wrong with the problem.
Mao Zhi hesitated slightly, and then smiled: "Look at me, patronizing the matter of the virtuous brother, I actually ignored the defensive problem of Sanglan City. Brother Xian is right, if the Hui Sun Empire comes to attack, such a thing is bound to go wrong. City Lord Zhao, you only need to send a third of your generals to look for it!"
"Yes! Obey the orders of the fifth prince!" replied respectfully.
Mao Zhi nodded, and said to Zhou Tianlong: "Brother Xian, there are 50,000 soldiers in Sanglan City, and now more than 10,000 people have been sent out to investigate, presumably there will be the whereabouts of the Hellfire Sect soon, so Brother Xian shouldn't worry too much!"
Zhou Tianlong arched his hand and said: "Thank you big brother for your help! It's just that looking for Yi Tian is a private matter of my Tianyu Sect, and it seems a little inappropriate to use the imperial generals without authorization!"
Mao Zhi shook his head and said, "It's okay! This Zhao City Lord once received a great favor from my father, and he obeyed my words!
Zhou Tianlong frowned slightly, and replied: "Okay, there is no other way at the moment, it can only be like this......!
Zhou Tianlong looked at Zhao Cheng: "City Lord Zhao, you used the soldiers who defended the city without authorization, aren't you afraid that His Majesty the Rain Emperor will blame you?"
"This ......" Zhao Cheng couldn't answer for a while, and subconsciously looked at Mao Zhi.
Mao Zhi said with a smile: "Brother Xian thinks too much, as long as Sanglan City is not lost, presumably His Majesty the Rain Emperor will not blame City Lord Zhao for this trivial matter!"
Zhou Tianlong nodded, arched his hand and said, "Okay, everything will be left to City Lord Zhao!"
Subsequently, Zhao Cheng arranged a place for Mao Zhi and his party in the City Lord's Mansion, which was extremely luxurious, several times more luxurious than Jinhua Villa, and it was also a delicious meal to entertain Mao Zhi and others every day.
Hua Rong still plays in the City Lord's Mansion every day, and goes to the banquet in the evening, and has a very happy time.
But in the blink of an eye, another month passed, and all the generals sent by Zhao Cheng to inquire about the whereabouts of the Hellfire Sect had also returned, but unfortunately, they did not bring back any news about the Hellfire Sect.
Zhao Cheng was furious, and in front of Mao Zhi, Zhou Tianlong and others, he scolded each of these generals with twenty boards, and ordered them to continue to go out to find the whereabouts of the Hellfire Sect, and if there was no news, they should not come back.
On this day, Zhou Tianlong, Zheng Fei and Hua Rong went to find Zhao Cheng and Mao Zhi, wanting to ask how the investigation of Yi Tianxia's whereabouts was going. Originally, according to Zhou Tianlong's intentions, there was no need to go to ask Zhao Cheng and them, but Zheng Fei and Hua Rong insisted on going, so Zhou Tianlong had no choice but to come with them.
"Three, this official has something important to deal with today, and tomorrow I will personally go and carefully interrogate those soldiers who went out of the city to find out, and see what clues they have!" Zhao Cheng said to the three of them.
"Oh?" Zhou Tianlong was slightly stunned: "I don't know what is important for the City Lord of Dao Zhao today?"
"This ......" Zhao Cheng stopped talking, and then looked at Mao Zhi.
Mao Zhi said with a smile: "That's the case, City Lord Zhao captured a felony in the imperial court a few days ago, and plans to behead him today!"
"Repeat offender?" Zhou Tianlong frowned slightly, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly said to Zhao Cheng: "City Lord Zhao, I have never seen the imperial court kill a felon, I don't know if you can go and see it together?"
Zhao Cheng was still hesitant, still looking at Mao Zhi.
Seeing that Zhao Cheng seemed to have to consult Mao Zhi for everything, Zhou Tianlong nodded secretly, and a sneer appeared on his face.
"What's wrong with this!" Mao Zhi was extremely cheerful, and immediately agreed to Zhou Tianlong.
"I'm not going!"
Hearing that she was going to see the killing, Hua Rong's face suddenly turned pale with fright, and she turned around and was about to leave.
However, she had just walked a few steps, but she was grabbed by Zhou Tianlong's arm: "Xiao Rong, don't be afraid, let's go with you!" This city lord killed the felons of the imperial court, and he also eliminated harm for the people, so we should also go and take a look!"
Hua Rong made a lot of noise, saying that he would not go to see the head of the killing, but Zhou Tianlong did not give up, and insisted on taking Hua Rong to go, Zheng Fei and Mao Zhi kept persuading Zhou Tianlong, saying that since Hua Rong was timid, he should not let her go, but I don't know what happened to Zhou Tianlong today, no matter what, he will not agree, he must bring Hua Rong.
In the end, Zhou Tianlong actually grabbed Hua Rong's arm to death, letting her fight and make trouble, but he didn't let go.
Hua Rong hated Zhou Tianlong, pouted, snot and tears flowed down, and vowed never to pay attention to Zhou Tianlong again.
But no matter what she said, Zhou Tianlong didn't care at all, and he must take her with him. Zheng Fei didn't understand what Zhou Tianlong was doing today, and he was very puzzled in his heart.
At that moment, Zhao Cheng, Mao Zhi, Tian Zhen, Zheng Fei, Zhou Tianlong, Hua Rong and a group of more than a dozen people came to the vegetable market entrance of Sanglan City. At this moment, the entrance of the vegetable market is already crowded with people, and countless soldiers and generals are here to maintain order.
Zhao Cheng took Mao Zhi and others to the front of the prison shed to sit down, Hua Rong wanted to sit next to Mao Zhi, but Zhou Tianlong grabbed her and didn't let her leave him half a step at all, Hua Rong was so angry that she didn't say a word, tilted her head, and deliberately didn't look at Zhou Tianlong.
Seeing that everything was ready, Zhao Cheng said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, this person who is going to be executed today is a felony of the imperial court, who has killed countless people and committed many crimes in his life! I will be beheaded by the holy decree of His Majesty Emperor Yu!"
As he spoke, Zhao Cheng shouted: "Come on, bring the prisoner!"
Immediately afterwards, a dozen large men were lifted out of a prisoner's car, who was in ragged clothes, with fluffy hair, chains tied up and down, his head bowed, and a cloth stuffed in his mouth, and he was pushed all the way to the execution table.
"Sure enough, it's him!" Zhou Tianlong's face changed instantly, although the prisoner lowered his head, Zhou Tianlong couldn't see his appearance, but judging from his body type, he was the person Zhou Tianlong guessed.
"It seems that all this is really like this!" Zhou Tianlong nodded slightly, and now, he was clear about the cause and effect of everything.
Seeing that the prisoner was pushed to the execution table, Zhou Tianlong suddenly stood up and asked loudly, "City Lord Zhao, may I ask what crime this prisoner has committed?"
Before Zhao Cheng could answer, the prisoner in the distance heard Zhou Tianlong's voice, raised his head suddenly, his eyes widened rapidly, and he was so surprised that he couldn't say a word.
"Why is he here?" the prisoner's face changed dramatically, puzzled.
Seeing that the prisoner saw himself, Zhou Tianlong nodded slightly, the reason why he spoke loudly just now was to attract the prisoner's attention.
Zhao Cheng replied: "Zhou Shaoxia doesn't know, this person has committed many crimes on the southeast coast, and he has countless lives!"
"Oh?" Zhou Tianlong raised the corner of his eyes: "I don't know what his name is?"
"His name is Song Cheng!" replied Zhao Cheng.
"Haha!" Zhou Tianlong looked up to the sky and smiled: "The level of Zhao City Lord's nonsense is really unusual, your name is Zhao Cheng, so you just call him Song Cheng casually, yes or no?"
Zhao Cheng's face changed slightly, glanced at Mao Zhi next to him, and said again: "His name is really Song Cheng!"
Zhou Tianlong glanced at the prisoner and asked again, "Why did City Lord Zhao stop his mouth? As far as I know, there is no such rule when the dynasty is executed!"
"This ......" Zhao Cheng was speechless for a while, and kept glancing at Mao Zhi.
"Brother Xian, this prisoner keeps yelling and screaming, and City Lord Zhao is doing this so that he can be quiet!" Mao Zhi said.
"Haha!" Zhou Tianlong looked up to the sky and smiled: "Brother Mao, City Lord Zhao, don't act anymore! The reason why you gag his mouth is because you are afraid that the people and generals of Sanglan City will know his identity, and they are even more afraid that they will know your conspiracy!"
Mao Zhi and Zhao Cheng's faces changed drastically, and they didn't know what Zhou Tianlong wanted to do, let alone how Zhou Tianlong saw their flaws.
Zhou Tianlong said loudly: "Because this person is not a court repeat offender at all, he is the only son of Song Tianfeng, the king of Dingbei of the Rain Dynasty today-Song Xin, the Duke of Xingguo!"
"What?" All the people and generals were all blown up, even if they didn't know who Song Xin was, but the prestige of Song Tianfeng, the king of Dingbei, they were clear, they didn't understand how Song Tianfeng's son could become a repeat offender of the dynasty, and they looked at Zhao Cheng with doubts on their faces.
Mao Zhi and Zhao Cheng's faces changed instantly, they never dreamed that Zhou Tianlong would know Song Xin, and they were a little confused for a while, and they didn't know what to do.
Zheng Fei's face also changed instantly, for Song Xin's name, he heard Zhou Tianlong mention it I don't know how many times, Zheng Fei was also very puzzled at this time, how could Song Xin's dignified Tianyu Dynasty Xingguo Gong become a prisoner of this Sanglan City.
Seeing that Mao Zhi and Zhao Cheng's faces were getting more and more ugly, Zhou Tianlong smiled coldly, and said to Mao Zhi: "Big brother, so far, you still refuse to tell your true identity?"
Mao Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and a fierce light suddenly came out, staring at Zhou Tianlong deadly, and said in a cold voice: "I said, I am a businessman!
Zhou Tianlong looked up to the sky and smiled: "Big brother, this business is really big, and the entire Tianyu Empire has become a commodity for you to buy and sell!"
Mao Zhi's face became more and more ugly, and his eyes looking at Zhou Tianlong became more and more cold, and he didn't say a word, and his whole body suddenly appeared with fierce killing intent.
Zhou Tianlong sneered: "Okay! Since the eldest brother is unwilling to tell his true identity, let the younger brother guess!"
Zhou Tianlong slowly stood up, slowly walked in front of Mao Zhi, and said with a smile: "Although the younger brother can't guess who the eldest brother is, but there is one thing, the younger brother can be sure!"
"I don't know what Brother Dao Dao is talking about?" Mao Zhi stared at Zhou Tianlong coldly and said in a deep voice.
Zhou Tianlong smiled slightly: "This point is - big brother, you are not from the Tianyu Empire!"
Hearing Zhou Tianlong's words, Zheng Fei and Hua Rong's faces changed instantly, and they looked at Zhou Tianlong with a puzzled expression, not understanding what he meant.
I only heard Zhou Tianlong say again: "Or rather, the eldest brother is from the Huiri Empire!"
