Chapter Ninety-Five: The Conspiracy Begins in the Dark
He didn't speak, looked at the back of Yu Ling leaving, raised the teacup and took another sip, as if tasting the aftertaste of tea, after a while, he came back to his senses and walked around the cage where Liu Li was locked and said: "You guy makes me more and more curious, you are a demon, even your partner is a group of demons, an interesting group of young people, it's just ...... Have you played with me?"
"Push it down, go tonight, the plan remains the same. He commanded, and several people pushed Liu Li away again.
"Hmph, are you going to disappoint? Things are starting to get interesting, hehe! Don't you like to be drugged? Then I'll give you some fierce information, thank you for giving me a good show of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, how far will things go? Dongtui, Xuefeng, don't let me down. The nine golems smiled sadly.
Yu Ling got the news, naturally there was no need for Long Xingtian to continue to investigate, but at this time, Long Xingtian's guy didn't know where to go, and not long after, Yu Ling saw a group of soldiers guarding the city crossing the street, bringing the news of blocking the city gate, and couldn't help but be shocked, but he wondered in his heart, whether Long Xingtian had already left Liu City.
Thinking of the guy's cowardly performance, Yu Ling became more and more sure that he had left the city, and as soon as Yu Ling thought of this, she quickened her pace towards the outside of the city, and when she reached the city gate, she saw that the city gate was closed, and she had to find another way out, she found that the city wall near the west of the city was short, and there were not too many guards, so it was more likely to go out without being discovered.
Suddenly, a group of people came over, it was the soldiers guarding the city, Yuling didn't say a word, turned over the wall, stepped on the low city wall, and was about to jump off, but was surprised to find that a large number of residences in the west of the city were in ruins, and the ruins seemed to have built a building similar to an altar, I don't know what it was.
"There are people on the walls. When a soldier defending the city spotted her, Jade Ling immediately jumped off the city wall and went straight to the cemetery on the outskirts.
Long Xingtian didn't go, he couldn't go, he just came in, and soon got the news that the city gate was closed, and the people were not allowed to go out, so he tried everything he could, but he couldn't get out, and he was almost caught by the guards several times over the city wall, if he didn't run fast, it was estimated that he would see Liu Zhao go now.
Now he was the only one walking alone on the cold streets, he didn't know what was going on in this city, didn't the eldest brother say that it was quite lively?
"Alas! I'm too tragic, isn't it? I'm actually locked up here, this city lord is sick! The sun hasn't set yet, and it's not dark, what kind of city gate is closed? The city gate is closed, presumably Liu Zhao's guy won't leave, so let's find out the news tomorrow! It's better to have a good rest today than to stay in the cemetery with the eldest brother. "Long Xingtian is a standard optimist, but a little irresponsible.
He was going to find an inn to stay in first, but there was an inn not far from the road, and he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Hey, the shopkeeper is open! Long Xingtian shouted as he knocked on the door.
"Don't knock, people are going to die, what kind of business are you doing!" The door of the store did not open, only the voice of the shopkeeper was heard.
"Hey, you don't make any money. Long Xingtian muttered, and left dissatisfied, he didn't understand the meaning of the shopkeeper's words, what does it mean that people are going to die?
"Come on, I want to go to the sky and the jade tree in the wind, a beautiful son, and now I am going to end up sleeping on the street at night, how can it always be my turn to be unlucky?
At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of countless gongs and drums around him, which surprised him.
"What's the matter, the gongs and drums are beating everywhere, are they here to arrest me, no? I haven't done anything, this can't be curfew time! What kind of place is Liu Cheng, the curfew time is too early! No, you have to find a place to hide quickly, otherwise you will have to be beaten to death if you are caught." Long Xingtian broke out in a cold sweat, jumping up and down, this guy was scared, and when he saw this battle, he thought he was coming for himself, so he hurriedly found a house, leaned against the gate, and looked at the street in the distance, only hoping that the group of guys would not see him.
A few people appeared not far away, and they began to shout at the top of their throats after a burst of gongs: "Neighbors, everyone listens, the city lord has an order, the plague incident found in the west of the city this morning is not the plague, but the poisoning of the wicked, 237 people in the west of the city were all poisoned and died overnight, the death is tragic, if you have relatives and friends, I hope you will go to the west of the city as soon as possible to collect the corpses." ”
When a few people were talking, there were already loud crying voices coming from every house, and some of them were angry and lost their minds, and they even ran out desperately with stones and kitchen knives.
This matter can be a big trouble, Liu Cheng is not big, the population is not much, nearly a fifth died in one morning, and the sun set at night This matter came out, which shows the degree of secrecy in this, this is the responsibility of the lord of a city, as the lackeys of the city lord, even if they pass the word on behalf of the public, they will not escape the blame.
After the men hurriedly retreated, the door-to-door door opened, some went out crying, some were terrified, some were angry and scolding, some were heartbroken, and some were puzzled, but at this moment, the streets were already full of people, and they were not as cold as before.
Long Xingtian leaned against the door, watching people appear on both sides of the street reflected by the clear moon like a tide, and suddenly shuddered.
Plague! He almost scolded, the plague was raging, you Liu City Lord still dared to open the city gate, how could the little master resist the persecution of the plague, something was wrong, who to cry with, but he breathed a sigh of relief, it was not the plague, he was fine, everything was fine, as for the more than 200 people who were poisoned, it could only be regarded as the end of it, he was not a good person, as the so-called matter is not his own business, hang high.
Speculate on the possible situation, satisfy your curiosity, reflect your own cleverness, no, wisdom, just do it, as for what so-called revenge, within the harm for the people, who is willing to do it, who will do it.
"Who could have poisoned it? Why did you poison more than 200 lives in the west of the city?" Long Xingtian muttered to himself.
"It shouldn't be the third sister, right?" Long Xingtian was also frightened by his own thoughts, but after a while, he suppressed this idea again, it could never be Yuling, a few people went together, and they only arrived in Liu Cheng this afternoon, where there would be a suspicion of poisoning.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt a loosening of his shoulder, and the door opened, and he was unsteady on his feet, and fell to the ground.
He looked up and saw that there was a man and a woman who opened the door, not tall or thin, ordinary, the woman seemed to have a little bit of posture, Long Xingtian was a little embarrassed, and under the surprised looks of the two, he stood up slowly.
"Why did this brother suddenly break in when I opened the door?" the man asked, looking at Long Xingtian's gaze at his woman, a little wary.
"Oh! I'm just coming to see if there's anyone dead in your house. Long Xingtian's mouth has never said good things.
"What did you say?" The man's eyes immediately widened, the guy in front of him was sinister, although it was already dark, but he could see at a glance that this was not a good thing, his clothes were in tatters, and his eyes were still looking at his wife from time to time, how good could it be?
"Oh! I don't mean anything else, I'm just here to ask if your family has any relatives in the west of the city or something?" Long Xingtian's words still meant that, but the couple didn't hear it.
"No, it's none of your business!" the man said angrily.
Obviously, Long Xingtian is not interesting to himself, the couple followed the other people to the west of the city, such a big thing happened, it will always make people panic, someone needs to stand up and say a few words, explain the current situation, there are relatives in the west of the city, they go in groups, want to seek justice, as for more is to go to see the excitement, Long Xingtian is, he will definitely go.
I thought I had to go a long way, but I found that there were actually only a few steps at all, and I walked nearly five hundred meters to the west of the city, looking at the old house, Long Xingtian just sighed that Liu Cheng's poverty was not comparable to the worst city he had ever seen before, if it weren't for Liu Cheng's city walls, I am afraid that it would not even be as good as a small town.
There was a fire at the intersection in front of them, and when they turned the intersection, the flames were bright, as bright as day, and what came into their eyes was a ruin, and then everyone knew that the west of the city was almost completely turned into broken stones in front of them except for the old houses they passed when they came.
No, not exactly the ruins, the center of the ruins was rebuilt with a huge high platform, the high platform was in four directions, on which there were unidentified stone piles made of stones, red traces all over the stone platform, bright red as blood, dozens of burning torches were inserted on the edge of the stone platform, the fire came from here, and there was a group of guards standing there under the stone platform, some anxious, some looked at each other, and some were afraid and trembling.
One after another, ordinary people came here one after another, and when they saw this scene, they all stopped and looked at the scene in front of them with puzzled expressions, Is this still the familiar west of the city yesterday? The cemetery outside the city and the mass graves are not as chaotic as here! So those who wept even more loudly and lamented even more stomped their feet and lamented.
"What the hell is going on, evil!" said an old man, stamping his cane in his hand from time to time.
"Many people said that last night, they heard the sound of fierce fighting, and the sound of ghosts crying and howling!" said another.
"That's right, I heard it, it's so scary, it scared me out all night, oops!" said a man, shaking his head.
Didn't Liu Wei send someone to say that the people here had been poisoned and died? But how could this scene be explained? What was the purpose of building a high altar in the middle of the ruins? "There are people in the crowd who are highly respectable.
There are traces of fierce battles, but these ordinary people don't understand it, they only have broken walls and ruins in their eyes, but Long Xingtian knows, when everyone walked to the guards under the high altar, he looked at a huge fist hole on the big stone not far away, and looked at it with fascination.
He dared to conclude that this was Liu Li's masterpiece, but he hadn't seen him for three days, and Liu Li was so powerful, or did he not use all his strength at all when he was in the ranking battle, Long Xingtian thought a lot.
It's just that the power of one punch is so powerful, why is it still captured? Was it defeated by the seriously injured Liu Zhao? So how terrifying is Liu Zhao?
