I asked Wei Cheng to pretend to be a city protector and pretend to clash with the people of Linbo City, so that the city protectors would massacre the civilians in Linbo City, and for a while, the angry people surrounded the mansion of the city lord Zhou Lie.

Liu Fangyuan came to me like crazy, gritted his teeth and said that the city lord of Zhou was invited.

Although the process is not very pleasant, but fortunately, the first hurdle to return to the city this time is over, otherwise I won't even be able to see Zhou Lie's face, how can I talk about wooing him.

"Cicada Song, let's go," I followed Liu Fang away with Cicada Song, and when I was about to reach the door, I turned my head and whispered to Wei Cheng: "Brother Wei, you stay, there is a care outside." ”

"The general ordered me to protect the girl every step of the way. Wei Cheng said: "Don't worry, girl, I have already arranged the person who will answer." ”

Wei Cheng was steady, I was relieved when he said this, and immediately went to the City Lord's Mansion with Cicada Ming and Wei Cheng.

After more than a year of absence, I came to Linbo City again, and the streets and houses in the city have been repaired, but the atmosphere of war is still there, and it still looks very depressed.

All the way to the City Lord's Mansion, a large group of people have been surrounded around the City Lord's Mansion, the sky is not yet dark, the people outside the City Lord's Mansion have lit torches, and some are still squatting on the ground, with the momentum of carrying to the end.

Zhou Lie's guards were transferred back a lot, and they surrounded the mansion inside and out.

Liu Fangyuan seemed to be very familiar with the people in the City Lord's Mansion, and as soon as he appeared, a soldier who seemed to be the leader nodded at him, and arranged for people to let us in, and some of the people couldn't sit still.

"Hey, who are these people, and why are they allowed to go in?" shouted a sturdy man at the front.

"That's right, who are they, the city lord is so interested, and he still calls women at this time. The person next to him was obscene and authentic, and he immediately got a lot of people's response.

"That's right, this person follows Liu Dagongzi, it's not small, don't be the top brand of any big city!"

"You're blind, this kind of appearance is also called the top brand, and it's not as handsome as the girl in our Hongcui Building." ”

Listening to these gossip, my face couldn't help but turn black and black, and I said in my heart that the old lady is good at looking at your, and she is embarrassed to judge me with her wrinkled face.

Wei Cheng probably couldn't listen to these words that couldn't be put on the stage, and he was about to make a move, when he heard Liu Fangyuan over there open his mouth first: "You guys take care of your mouths! If it weren't for the city lord of Zhou opening a warehouse to release grain, you lazy wastes would have starved to death in the gutter." ”

"That few grains are enough for a few people to eat?" those scoundrels said shamelessly: "Linbo City is so big, so there is so much food? Who believes it? I'm afraid it's not Zhou Lie's old thing that fills his pockets!"

"You are shameless!" Liu Fangyuan still wanted to argue, but I hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said: "Liu Gongzi calm down, what can you tell from these scoundrels, go to see the city lord first." ”

I just don't want to waste time with these scoundrels, I've seen too many people since I was a child, just moths struggling at the bottom, and I don't have any reason to talk to them.

"You little girl, who are you talking about?" A rickety, dirty man pounced at me with his mouth slanted, and his stiff thugs grabbed my clothes: "When will there be a woman in the world of men to speak? Look grandpa, I tore your mouth!"

Wei Cheng had been following me, surrounded by people, he wanted to rush over but was blocked by the crowd, and I screamed in shock when I saw that the man's dirty hands were about to pinch my face.

Syllable!

Liu Fangyuan, who had been in front of me, suddenly held the dirty hand stretched out towards me and blocked in front of me, his thin and pale hand grabbed the man's wrist, and said in a cold tone: "I advise you, keep your mouth clean, this girl is not something you can afford to provoke." ”

"Isn't it just a mother-in-law. The man was obviously frightened by Liu Fangyuan's momentum, but he still held on.

I took a deep breath in horror and glanced at the man in disgust, when the city guards finally controlled the restless people, and a small leader crowded in front of us, clenched his fists and said, "Surprise a few people, please." ”

Liu Fangyuan let go of the man's hand at this time, and turned around and left with a snort.

I walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Liu Fangyuan, who was running wildly, and said softly: "Thank you Liu Gongzi for coming to the rescue." ”

"It's nothing," Liu Fangyuan didn't seem to be angry, and the whole person looked super uncalm.

Last year, I had lived in the City Lord's Mansion for a short time, so I was quite familiar with this place, and we followed the leader all the way to the hall, where Zhou Lie was already waiting.

"Meet the City Lord of Zhou," Liu Fangyuan saw Zhou Lie from afar, and saluted thoughtfully.

"Little girl Mingxiu, meet the city lord of Zhou. I bowed calmly.

"Hmph, the old man can't afford your worship. Zhou Lie gave me an indifferent look. "He's afraid I'm going to call you a mother. ”

I knew that Zhou Lie was sarcastic about me, but I could only endure it and said calmly: "At this time, please don't be emotional." ”

"Do you still dare to say that the old man is emotional?!" Zhou Lie said angrily: "It is you who are emotional, and you don't know anything about the situation in the city to mobilize the people's anger." I think Qin Yuefeng is really crazy in order to be the emperor!"

"City Lord Zhou is cautious!" Wei Cheng, who had been silent beside me, suddenly spoke, the atmosphere was originally solemn, but now it was even colder, I looked at Wei Cheng who suddenly stood up in surprise, he didn't seem to be nervous or afraid at all, his eyes looked at Zhou Lie firmly and honestly.

"What," Zhou Lie sneered: "Qin Yuefeng hasn't become an emperor yet, so he needs to avoid it?"

"Alright. "I stood between Zhou Lie and Wei Cheng, trying to maintain the atmosphere, and said in my heart that Qin Yuefeng asked me to fight for Zhou Lie, but I couldn't stiffen the scene.

"I caused the disaster," I said to Zhou Lie, "I also came to solve this matter." ”

"It's easy to get into trouble, but it's not so easy to solve it. The people of Linbo City are violent in their bones, otherwise it would be impossible to survive on this harsh border," Zhou Lie said: "I think how much effort I spent to gain their trust at the beginning, and now they believe that my city guards slaughtered the people, how easy it is to turn it around, not to mention, there is indeed no food in the city." ”

"There is no food in the city, but the Qin army has. I said calmly: "City Lord Zhou is very clear. ”

"The old man is clear, but Qin Yuefeng is the opposite, he is a rebel, my Zhou family has been loyal to the army for generations, how can he bend down and bow to the rebels! The old man has played the Son of Heaven, and the food will soon be allocated, at the moment, the important thing is to lock up a few of you troublemakers, so as not to cause trouble, and when the food arrives, the anger of the people will be resolved. ”

It sounds like a thoughtful method, but to do all this, it is under the condition that the imperial court is willing to allocate food, but the current situation in the capital is only more complicated than here, the army is gathering, even if the saint has the heart to allocate food here, I am afraid it will not be possible to do it in a short time.

"City Lord Zhou's recital must have sent out more than one letter," I said, "Have you received a reply?"

"You ......" Zhou Lie glared at me.

I shook my head: "Don't misunderstand the city lord of Zhou, our people did not intercept the twists, although the city lord of Zhou has been on the border for many years, but he has been an official for generations, and he has always had a close relationship with the capital, so he should not know that the capital is not peaceful at the moment, I am afraid that the saint will not be able to take care of himself and will not be able to take care of the border." ”

"It's nonsense!" Zhou Lie said angrily: "This is the northern border of the empire! How fierce the Youta clan is! No matter how chaotic the capital is, it is just an internal matter of the empire, but if the northern border is lost, it will be a big matter, how can the saint not be able to distinguish the severity!"

"The Holy One can naturally distinguish between the important and the important," I said calmly, "because the northern border is very safe now." ”

Zhou Lie's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character: "What do you mean." ”

"Don Rick and Qin Yuefeng have ceased war. For a long time, the Youta clan will not come to attack, and the northern border is safe now. ”

"You little girl, you are talking wildly......" Zhou Lie obviously didn't believe it, but after a long time, he hesitated: "You said that the demon of the Youta clan has ceased war with Qin Yuefeng?"

"Don Rick is Don Rick, don't be a demon and a demon to buckle his hat. I frowned, and said it without thinking, and only after saying it did I feel that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly said: "City Lord Zhou, I really don't need to lie to you, if it is fake, then even if it is Qin Yuefeng, I must take out twelve points of spirit to deal with Tang Likke, where will I have the heart to come here to fight for you." ”

Zhou Lie snorted coldly and stopped talking, as if he was thinking about whether my words were true or false.

At this time, Liu Fangyuan, who had not spoken for a long time, said: "City Lord, Miss Mingxiu's words are true. ”

"How do you know? ”

"This person naturally can't believe it, but I believe in General Qin. Liu Fang said from afar.

After hearing this, I immediately rolled my eyes, and said in my heart how bad my reputation is, I can't believe it, Qin Yuefeng believes it. Fang Cai was still a little grateful to Liu Fangyuan for standing up for me to stop the harassment of the ruffians, but now this gratitude immediately turned into anger.

As if sensing my angry gaze, Liu Fangyuan turned his head slightly to look at me, and then turned his head away with great disdain.

Depend on!

"Fang Yuan, the old man knows that you have a deep relationship with Qin Yuefeng, and the old man originally admired Qin Yuefeng very much, who knew that when he met such a demon girl, his whole person changed, and he actually wanted to rebel for this demon girl!"

"The city lord is not right!" Liu Fang said without humility or arrogance: "A few years ago, when the city lord first came to Linbo City, the people in the city did not trust the city lord, but later the city lord worked hard to really think about the people, and the people gradually accepted you, and now, the people no longer believe you because they think you have done something sorry for the people. ”

"What do you mean. ”

That is, the people will follow only those who are good to them, regardless of who belongs to them in the world. ”

Liu Fangyuan said the true meaning in one sentence, and Zhou Lie was speechless.

I really didn't expect Liu Fangyuan's mind to be so clear, and I couldn't help but appreciate him a little more, remembering that Wei Cheng said that Liu Fangyuan was a person who cared about the people, it seems that this is indeed true.

"City Lord Zhou, you should be very clear about what the lives of the people are like, especially in the past few years......"

The decline of the empire is a foregone conclusion, Zhou Lie is not without calculation in his heart, but the ups and downs of the Zhou family in the imperial court for decades, if it is really said that the dynasty is changed, then it is most likely that the Hou Mansion is on the throne, originally Long Hui married Qin Yuefeng, with the relationship between the Zhou family and the Hou Mansion and the Qin family, this team has confidence, but now Qin Yuefeng and Long Hui ...... It made Zhou Lie a little unable to see clearly, and the hesitation in his heart was also this.

If you take one wrong step, you will never recover.

Thinking about this, Zhou Lie couldn't get used to the seemingly delicate woman in front of him.

If this woman disappears, then Qin Yuefeng and Long Hui can be together again, and at that time, he will bet on all the Zhou family, and he will also have confidence.

Thinking of this, Zhou Lie waved his hand at Liu Fangyuan: "This old man understands. ”

After that, Zhou Lie looked at me and said: "Girl, you are not deeply involved in the world, the old man needs to warn you, don't be fearless with a little cleverness, now in the world, the old man is not without calculation, in this world, who should be who it is, Qin Shinephew, is indeed a hero in troubled times, doesn't he just want Linbo City, then he will take it." ”

"Really?" I was shocked, a little unable to believe my ears.

"Fang Yuan also said that the people will only follow those who are good to them, if the people recognize Qin Shi's nephew, the old man has nothing to say, just ......"

"What?"

"It depends on whether you have the ability to calm the anger of the people. ”
