Chapter 42 The Son's Debt is Repaid by the Father
The danger of Chentangguan is not so easy to solve.
Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, appeared on the fifth day of the flooding of Chentang Pass, but it was just to reiterate his previous conditions and force Li Jing to hand over Nezha and Biyuan.
Of course, Li Jing would not agree, and the situation was so deadlocked.
For more than ten days, the water outside the city has always maintained the water level, and Chen Tangguan can't get out of the city, let alone people.
Although the shrimp soldiers and crabs in the East China Sea did not dare to get too close to the city, the entire periphery had been completely controlled by them, and the three waves of help sent by Li Jing were like stones sinking into the sea, without a single response.
In addition to eating and sleeping every day, Zhang Ran is thinking about how to break the game.
With such a delay, time flies too quickly, and I am really a little worried about Li Ergou and Yu Jiaoniang who are being detained in Skull Mountain.
Seeing that most of the one-month deadline given to him by Shi Ji had passed, Zhang Ran couldn't help but become anxious.
"Childe, I'm sorry! Now there is a shortage of food in the city, and everyone's diet is being controlled. Even so, it is estimated that it will not last long. Alas, I don't know when the water will recede......"
The breakfast porridge delivered in the early morning was much thinner than in the past, and the shopkeeper saw Zhang Ran's puzzled eyes, and quickly explained with a wry smile.
After the blood, it was cold, and the shopkeeper never mentioned Nezha's heroic feats.
The customers in the store are even more booing and sighing, and the words of complaint can be heard from time to time, and after the same hatred at the beginning, more people choose to focus on the more practical problems at the moment.
Zhang Ran hurriedly ate and came all the way to Li Jing's mansion.
When they arrived at the door, the two generals guarded the door boredly, telling him that Li Jing had not returned to the house for many days, and the third son, Nezha, was nowhere to be found.
Zhang Ran had no choice but to turn around and return to the Shuai Mansion in the city.
After a short time, when he arrived at the marshal's mansion in the city, the guards on duty made a report and led him to Li Jing's office.
Li Jing came back from the inspection of the wall and just picked up his job.
After a few days, Li Jing has lost his majestic atmosphere in the past, his hair is a little messy, and his eyes are even more red.
Zhang Ran looked at the millet porridge in front of him, and found that it was similar to what he drank, and he knew in his heart that the diet of the entire Chentangguan had been strictly rationed.
"General Li, you are the backbone of Chen Tangguan, and you can't keep doing this. But the people of this city are looking at you, and if you fall, the city will be the first to be in chaos. At that time, it will be difficult to cage people's hearts again!"
"Thank you Zhang Gongzi for reminding me. When Li Jing heard this, he was shocked, but he said helplessly: "It's just that now, there is a shortage of food and clothing in the city, and I'm afraid it won't last a long time." It's just that the old man is very ashamed in his heart......"
"I have no choice but to wait for the Qiankun Bow to save people. Zhang Ran replied.
"General Li, you have a relationship with the old dragon king, can't you use Bi Yuan to make a fuss and negotiate a deal?"
"Originally, I also wanted to use Bi Yuan to restrain the old dragon king, but she didn't have any real evidence in her hands, so it was difficult to bluff the old dragon king. Li Jing shook his head and said.
"That's why I've always had people keep a close eye on Bi Yuan. If she dies, we won't have a single card to play. ”
"If ...... Die"
Zhang Ran muttered, his heart moved, and he asked, "May I ask the general, do you know where the third prince Nezha is?"
"Oh. He went to the Jinguang Cave of Qianyuan Mountain two days ago to find Taiyi Zhenren. The situation in Chen Tangguan, Nezha blamed himself deeply, and always felt that he had caused everyone a burden, so he wanted to go to his master to find a way to solve it!"
Li Jing really didn't have much appetite, and he only drank half a bowl of millet porridge, and then held it in his hand in a daze.
"It seems that the bell must be tied to the bell. ”
Zhang Ran said secretly in his heart, and was about to say goodbye, when he saw a soldier outside the official room running in with a panicked expression.
The Dragon King of the Four Seas hit the east gate, claiming that if he didn't hand over Nezha and Bi Yuan, he would have to lose his life in Chentangguan!"
Li Jing was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but tremble, "Bang!" The bowl fell to the ground with a bang and shattered.
"The other three dragon kings are here?"
He knew very well in his heart that with the addition of the other three dragon kings, the situation became even more serious.
The Dragon King of the East China Sea is only good at controlling water, and the Qiankun Bow can also resist the water attack of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, but the Dragon King of the South China Sea is good at using fire, the Dragon King of the West Sea resists the wind, and the Dragon King of the North Sea is sharp frost and snow, which is completely impossible to prevent......
The four dragon kings joined forces, and the destruction of Chentangguan was only in a moment.
And now that the other dragon kings can come, it is obviously because they have been acquiesced by the heavens, otherwise they can't and dare not all gather together.
Zhang Ran and Li Jing hurriedly left the Shuai's mansion, the street was already crowded with people, shouting with heavy expressions, and when they saw Li Jing coming out, they all stopped talking and silently made way for the two.
The two hurriedly came to the arrow tower of the east gate, only to see the dragon kings of the four seas outside the east gate, each riding the clouds, hovering in mid-air.
"General Li, I know you and I once, as long as I hand over Nezha and Biyuan, I will let go of the people of Chentang Pass. ”
Ao Guang saw Li Jing coming, and said coldly.
"Brother, what do you have to talk to them!" Ao Qin, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, couldn't help it, and with a wave of his big sleeves, a side hall of the arrow tower instantly burst into flames.
The Dragon King of the West Sea, Ao Yan, immediately rose in the wind, which contributed to the fire.
The soldiers in the hall were suddenly in a mess, looking for things everywhere to put out the fire, and in the panic, several soldiers were squeezed and fell off the wall, causing a splash.
Immediately, the Dragon King of the North Sea, Ao Shun, cast a spell, and the weather was suddenly cold, penetrating into his bones.
It snowed in June!
A group of people waited, all of them freezing their teeth......
"Isn't there a royal law? You are so reckless! Aren't you afraid of the law to punish you and the other dragon clans for waiting in vain?" Zhang Ran asked angrily.
Ao Qin sneered and said fiercely: "Nezha killed my nephew first, and then counterattacked my brother in front of Baode's gate, who is the one who has lost the royal law? The Emperor of Heaven has given us permission to avenge this wrongdoing!"
If you hand them over today, everything will cease for you. If not, I will burn your Chentangguan into a white ground, and there will be no chickens and dogs!"
When Zhang Ran heard this, he realized in his heart that the Dragon King of the Four Seas had indeed obtained his will...... It's just that it's so devastating, it's really unbearable to look at.
"Hmph, even if you get the will, can you be so vain about the living beings? There is a head for injustice, there is a master for debts, you don't have the ability to take Nezha, you don't have the courage to provoke Qianyuanshan Taiyi Zhenren, and you only take the people to get angry, what kind of right way can you get? Full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, they are all fed to the dogs!"
"Boy, shut up! We can't allow you to intervene in the affairs of our dragon clan!" Ao Qin's eyes sank, and he shouted: "Nezha's matter is his Chen Tangguan Li Jing's matter, and all the consequences will naturally be borne by Chen Tangguan!"
Zhang Ran was about to answer, only to hear Li Jing pull out the Tiangang knife with a snort and stand majestically on the wall.
"You're just trying to kill me. Now that the Son has paid the debt to the Father, I will give you back my life, right?"
Li Jing smiled miserably, and the Tiangang knife was crossed around his neck and waved lightly......
