The temperature difference between day and night in Hongli City is very large, and the morning is very short, and the temperature in the city is boiling as soon as the sun climbs the city wall.

The scorching sun scorched the houses, roads, and pedestrians in the city.

Although it was still early, as the shops opened to welcome customers, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased.

"Have you heard? Ouye's house was burned down yesterday and burned clean!"

"I knew it last night, and I could see the fire from afar. ”

In front of a restaurant that sells breakfast, two vendor-like customers at a table chatted while eating the bean curd in the bowl.

"This Ou Ye family thought about what a beautiful scene it was back then, even if people from Yanzhou Mansion had to give three points, he thought that in just ten years, it had become this scene. ”

Someone sighed.

"Every good thing of these family gate valves, what do you pity them for? If it weren't for the Immortal Alliance destroying so many family gate valves and sects, we casual cultivators would only be afraid that we would never come out of the way by them. ”

"Just say it casually, where do I pity them? It's just a pity that the Ou Ye family's skill in forging weapons is a real weapon for cultivators. ”

"Do you think the Immortal League can't think of this? Ou Yejia's secret technique of forging weapons, the Immortal Alliance naturally sent someone to take it away. ”

"According to you, yesterday's fire was ...... The people of the Iron Castle ......"

"Eat your bean curd well, everyone knows this, things are in the hands of the Immortal League, it's better than the Ouye family's exclusive enjoyment, isn't it? The Immortal League is different from them, it is on the side of us scattered cultivators and ordinary people. ”

"That's right, after having the Immortal Alliance, we, ordinary people, no longer have to look at the eyes of those children of the family sect. ”

After the two chatted about the affairs of the sect and the Immortal Alliance for a while, the topic suddenly changed.

"Anyway, a strange thing has happened in the Iron Castle these days, I don't know if you have heard of it. ”

"I've been busy sorting out the goods that were shipped to the city a few days ago these days, and I haven't been there, what's wrong?"

"Three days ago, the city lord killed a group of Qiushui remnants and hung their heads on the walls of the Iron Castle. ”

"Over the years in Hongli City, the Qiushui remnants have been killed, if not thousands, but hundreds, what's so strange about this?"

From that day on, a child who came out of nowhere has been kneeling in the square in front of the Iron Castle, without eating or eating for three days and three nights, motionless. ”

"Could it be that there are relatives of this child in this batch of Qiushui Yu Party?"

"But the guards of the Iron Castle did not come out to drive them away, let alone arrest people. ”

"You don't understand that. ”

"How?"

"The city lord is killing chickens and monkeys, rather than risking a bad reputation to kill a powerless child, it is better to let him kneel under the city to deter those in the city who dare to be with Qiushui. Over the years, the Guillotine Alliance has been rampant in ten states, and I am afraid that many of the people of Hongli City have been bewitched by it, and the city lord just took this opportunity to warn those people that they would kill two birds with one stone. ”

"In this way, we Twilight City Lords are really clever. ”

"You and I are ordinary people, it's useless to argue about these, why don't we gamble, can this kid survive today, if he can survive today, brother, this month's wine money, I will cover it!"

"No, no, this kid, three days of exposure to the sun, no matter how you look at it, you can't live today, I will definitely lose if I bet like this. ”

Then the two began to quarrel because of this.

"I'll bet with the two of you. ”

But at this time, a man in a long shirt walked up to the table of the two.

"If that kid can't survive today, this spirit stone will belong to the two, if it survives today, how about the two of you invite me to drink a bowl of lotus seed porridge?"

The man held a roast goose wrapped in oiled paper in one hand, and pinched a spirit stone in the other hand and looked at the two of them with a smile.

Or the man appeared too abruptly, and the two people who had been chatting before were stunned for a while.

The man with the roast goose, the two of them did not speak, they just smiled, and then took the roast goose and left, and the direction he left was the Iron Castle.

"What's that, who's going to bet on you?"

"Where did the foreigner come from, dare to talk to us like this, and when we go to the city lord's mansion to report him, maybe we can get some reward. ”

"My brother is right, I will draw a portrait of this person immediately, and I will send it to the City Lord's Mansion later. ”

When the man with the roast goose disappeared into the street, the two suddenly broke out and cursed, and the thought that maybe they could exchange some reward money made the two of them excited.

......

In the square in front of the Hongli City Iron Castle, a group of people looked around the city as if watching a monkey show, looking at a little boy in the center of the square.

This boy is none other than Tang Beidou

At this time, the sun was getting hotter and hotter, the air was scorched without a trace of moisture, Tang Beidou's sweat dripped onto the bluestone slab ground and was immediately dried, his chapped lips opened and closed slightly, and his eyes without any luster looked up in the direction of the iron castle from time to time.

He knelt here for three days and three nights.

Some people think very simply, thinking that this Tang Beidou is a fool, and he kneels here when he sees the stimulation of killing.

Some people think very complicatedly, because the head hanging on the iron castle belongs to the Qiushui Yu Party, so the child kneeling here is very likely to have something to do with the Qiushui Yu Party.

Even, this kid may have been a decoy deliberately planted here by the Guillotine League.

Whether it is complicated or simple, in the eyes of some citizens of Hongli City who like to watch the excitement, this is undoubtedly a very interesting thing.

So many people are waiting for this kid to fall, and as long as he falls, this kind of speculation will have a result.

But they didn't know that Tang Beidou would kneel here, it was just a son's instinct after losing his father.

After seeing his father die at the hands of the Iron Castle, he had two choices, one was to endure the humiliation and steal his life and leave, and the other was to risk his life and rush to the Iron Castle to take revenge, even if he died in the Iron Castle in the end, he would have died a well-deserved death.

His father is the only motivation for him to survive, and Tang Beidou has no reason to steal his life, so he will not choose the first option.

And the second way, he can't choose, because as long as he rushes over, the Ouyee family will be implicated for taking him in.

He didn't want to run away, he couldn't take revenge, he could only kneel here.

"Dad, I'm coming to see you soon. ”

Tang Beidou's lips opened and closed silently.

At this point, his mouth was as dry as a red-hot soldering iron. If it weren't for the power of his divine soul, I'm afraid he would have fainted from the sun on the first day.

"I don't know what the city lord who lives in the iron castle looks like, if he can treat other people's lives like grass like mustard, he must have a fierce face. ”

He muttered as if he had returned to the light.

"Who? Don't go over!"

"Hey, that boy, come back!"

"You don't want to die!"

Just when Tang Beidou was thinking this in his heart, the crowd of onlookers not far behind him suddenly let out an exclamation.

Tang Beidou instinctively glanced back.

I saw a young man in a cyan Confucian shirt, holding a paper umbrella in one hand and leading an oiled paper bag in the other hand out of the crowd, and then walked through the empty square with an umbrella and walked towards him little by little.

Although Tang Beidou's consciousness was already a little loose at this time, he still recognized the figure after all.

Compared with teenagers of the same age, Tang Beidou's heart is much more resolute, whether it is the pain of losing his father or the burning of the hunting sun on his head in the past few days, it has never made his resolute heart weak.

But at this moment, when he saw that figure, tears somehow burst out of his eyes from his face, which no longer had any expression.
