Chapter 42: The Marriage Contract
"The selection of the city lord in Dongzhou is to select the city lord first, and then wait until the position of the city lord is vacant to select one of the selected people to take office, and the selection criterion is the person who performs well in the city lord election. Therefore, if you have no power or power, even if you pass the selection of the city lord, you can only be a candidate for the city lord for a lifetime. ”
Four young men and women dressed in shabby cloth clothes walked along the official road leading to Tianshui City, but the content of their conversation was very inconsistent with their clothing.
"Yun Xuan, don't you have no background? Then how did you become the city lord? Shouldn't you kill all the other candidates?" Ling Xiyue asked.
Leng Lanying sneered: "Even if he can do it, but the city lord's election is once every three years, and there are countless candidates for the city lord, how can he kill the other candidate city lords?"
Yun Xuan didn't speak, but Jiang Ming faintly guessed: "In the face of a genius like you, there must be many forces that want to win you over, even the core of the Nine Underworld Sect is tempted, not to mention other forces." And Leng Lanying is from a big family, and you have a marriage contract with her sister, I'm afraid this is a quid pro quo!"
Marriage is something that big forces often do, and it is not uncommon to sacrifice the women of a family to win over a peerless genius with no background. If the cloud void has no background, they will become the background of the cloud void, so as long as the cloud void still needs their strength, they must become one of them.
Although the marriage, my sister really likes him. However, after he became the lord of the city, he repeatedly postponed the marriage. Leng Lanying said.
Even if you don't have feelings, you have to fulfill your promise after receiving their benefits, not to mention that one of the girls' hearts is on Yun Xu, and this matter is a bit too much.
There was no guilt on Yun Xudu's face: "Lan Qiu and I were tied up because of interests, but in the process of getting along, we both had a good impression of each other, although there is no life and death promise in folk tales, but we are both looking forward to this marriage." After I succeeded as the lord of the city, I thought that the identity of the lord of the city was worthy of her, so I began the preparations for the wedding, wanting to marry her in a beautiful way. ”
Leng Lanying was stunned, this is different from what she heard!
She originally thought that Yun Xuan was just using her sister, and she abandoned it after she had no use value, and she was an out-and-out negative person, but now it seems that this is not the case.
"Just as I was preparing for the wedding, there was an incident of bandits slaughtering the village in Tiannan City. Although I kill a lot of people, I still can't do it to ordinary people, and those bandits who have no humanity, whether they are old people or children, will not let go, if they are women, the end will be even more miserable. ”
Speaking of that past, Yun Xuan's face could not hide his anger, "So, I swore to the corpses of 1,652 villagers that I would definitely avenge them, and if I didn't kill all those bandits, I wouldn't get married." ”
Leng Lanying was a little stupid when she heard it: "It turns out that you postponed the wedding because of this matter, I thought you wanted to regret the marriage, I'm sorry." ”
Ling Xiyue also showed anger: "At first, I didn't understand why my father had to kill all the bandits in the jurisdiction, I heard that many of them couldn't survive before they fell into the grass, but after I saw the villages that were ravaged by them, I no longer have any sympathy for them." ”
However, what they didn't expect was that there was a reversal in the story of the end of the clouds.
"After knowing my thoughts, Lan Qiu expressed his understanding, and in order to help me fulfill my wish, he privately mobilized people from his family and asked professionals to teach me the habits of bandits and how to eliminate them. In the end, with the help of Lan Qiu, I found the murderer of the slaughtering village, the Blood Dragon Gang, and successfully surrounded and suppressed it, leaving no one behind. ”
"At that time, I felt that it was the greatest honor in my life to be favored by such a girl, and I would never fail her in this life." ”
No wonder he attracted five waves of bandits in three days, and it turned out that he had specialized in learning. However, I always felt that there was something wrong. Jiang Ming thought of the fact that Yun Xuan had attracted five waves of bandits in three days along the way.
Knowing the habits of bandits, did they often eliminate bandits? He was a little puzzled.
"In that case, why didn't you get married in the end!" Leng Lanying asked.
Her sister has put in so much effort to marry him, and he has fulfilled his wish, why not get married, he has no reason to shirk.
Yun Xuan said: "Because, those bandits are raised by the cold family." ”
A chill enveloped Leng Lanying, making her unable to believe Yun Xuan's words: "This is impossible, what evidence do you have! And why would our Leng family do this! What good is that for us!"
Jiang Ming and Ling Xiyue also felt incredible, this reversal was too big, and there was not even an excess, which made them unable to accept it for a while.
"Come with me!"
Yun Xuan sped up his pace, and although the three people behind him were puzzled, they still followed. The three of them soon came to a village that was in shambles.
"Please, let us go!"
"Our family depends on this bit of food for the winter, how can we live if you take it all!"
"Let go of my daughter, you brutes!"
"Dad, mother, help me!"
"Dad, wake up, you, what are you going to do!"
A group of robbers were looting and slaughtering unscrupulously, several strong men fell in pools of blood, their bodies and heads had been separated, a little girl pounced on her father, crying and trying to put the head back in place, but was found by several bandits, and dragged to the side of the house with a cruel smile, and then needless to say, she knew what was going to happen.
"They're damned!" Ling Xiyue and Leng Lanying's eyes were about to erupt with fire, they instinctively wanted to draw their swords, but found that their swords were gone.
Only then did they remember that before they set off, their swords had been placed in Jiang Ming's scabbard. They were about to look for Jiang Ming, but they saw that Jiang Ming had already come out of the room, still holding an unconscious girl in his arms.
They didn't ask how the bandits inside were, Jiang Ming wouldn't be soft at this time.
"Cloud Void, did you already guess that something like this would happen here?" Jiang Ming asked scoldly, "If we had come one step earlier, we would have been able to stop them." ”
"Yes, I have long guessed that even if this place is not looted, other places will be looted, and you will always come across it if you walk a little further. ”
Yun Xuan confessed calmly, and he shouted loudly: "How do you think I guessed? Why do you think I brought you here, your divine sense is so strong, can't you even go back to your memory? Go and kill all these bandits, and then take a good look at these bandits if there are any people you know!"
