Chapter 44: Getting Out of Trouble III
The ink knife followed the city lord to the first and second floor of the small building.
There are no plaques, no guards, and compared to other houses, the two-story building in front of it is even more modest.
It is hard to imagine that the lord of a city could live in such a humble place.
The lord of the city pushed the door in, and the ink knife followed.
A voice came from the hall.
"Your Excellency, you're back. "An old man, sixty or seventy, with white hair and white beard, wants to be the housekeeper here.
"Who are?" asked the city lord. At this moment, the hall was full of people, divided on both sides, facing each other.
Mo Dao looked over and saw that Guo Xiaofei was also in the crowd, as well as the man in white before.
"My lord, it's a shame to come to disturb me so late. The man in white in the crowd was the first to speak.
"You're you again?" said the city lord as he looked at the man in white, a hint of impatience in his tone. "What's going on this time. ”
"Your Excellency, you have to call the shots for the lesser!" said one of the other men. He was a burly man, with a fierce look, a pair of black trousers, shirtless, and a long scar on his chest, which slanted down from his left chest.
"Wait a minute. The city lord smiled apologetically and said to the ink knife. Then he instructed his subordinates to bring a chair for Modao to sit down.
"What's going on?" asked the city lord after settling the ink knife.
"My lord, that's ......" The man in white was about to explain, but before he could finish his sentence, he was stopped.
"You speak first. The lord looked at the other.
"Your Excellency, you set the rules of this city. We've always played by the rules, but this guy relies on his good skills to not only stop us, but also hurt our people. Your Excellency, you must be in charge of us!" the man said, and a man was lifted up from behind him. The man was covered in blood and unconscious. The right arm was unnaturally twisted, and it looked like it was broken.
"Is that so?" the lord asked.
"Your Excellency, listen to me......"
"I ask you if you have any of that. The city lord's voice grew colder, and his gaze became sharper.
"Yes. The man in white lowered his head and said, as if he didn't dare to look at the city lord's gaze.
"You should know the rules. ”
"But they ......"
"No, but!" the city lord snapped up and scolded loudly, "I have said many times that no woman is allowed to appear in my Abandoned Heaven City, and once she appears, she must be caught as soon as possible and sent to me. ”
"Are you farting when I say it?" the city lord's voice was even colder.
"The villain doesn't dare. The man in white lowered his head even deeper.
Ink knife on the side, quietly watching. When he first came to this abandoned heaven city, he was a little strange, he didn't see a woman along the way, and it wasn't until this moment that Modao knew that he had been arrested. However, the ink knife didn't care about this, it had nothing to do with him after all.
From the moment the ink knife entered the door, Guo Xiaofei saw it. Looking at the ink knife with a pleading gaze, she hoped that the ink knife could help her. But when she found out, the ink knife was ignored by her. Guo Xiaofei lowered his head and let out a self-deprecating sneer. "I was so stupid to expect that cold-blooded man to come and save me. Not disappointed, she had just been disheartened.
"Do you like her?" the city lord asked suddenly.
The man in white was stunned when he was asked, as if he didn't expect to be asked this question at all. Still, he nodded slightly, "Yes." ”
"Ah......h Hearing the man in white answer, Guo Xiaofei was taken aback, she didn't understand why the man in front of her, who only had a relationship with her, liked her. But at this moment, Guo Xiaofei's heart is warm, being liked by others is a happy thing after all, not to mention being a person he doesn't hate.
After all, when she was killed, it was the man in white in front of her who helped her.
After receiving the answer, the city lord was silent for a moment and then said, "I can give you a chance." ”
"Thank you, sir!" said the man in white excitedly.
"I'm not done yet. The city lord glanced at the ink knife beside him and continued, "I can give you a chance, as long as you can kill him, I will give you this woman, along with her maid." ”
After speaking, the city lord looked at the ink knife: "This can be regarded as my test for you." If you can't defeat him, then you don't need to go there. ”
"Good. Modao was the first to answer, without a trace of hesitation.
"My lord, she's not a bargaining chip, it's not fair to her. The man in white said, seemingly not in favor of the showdown.
"It's unfair or not, I have the final say, I'll only give you this chance, and you can choose the rest. The lord of the city said word by word.
"I'm ......," the man in white grimaced.
"I believe in you. Guo Xiaofei said suddenly. While speaking, he looked at the ink knife viciously, and the good impression of the ink knife in his heart had turned into hatred at this moment.
Guo Xiaofei's words seemed to make the man finally make up his mind, and he gritted his teeth in response. "Good!"
The man in white said the word 'good', and the next moment the ink knife suddenly moved.
Preemptively, the broken sword was held in his hand, and the ink knife rushed forward, and in an instant, he came to the man's approach. The next moment, a broken sword was already across the man's throat.
There was no reaction, and in the face of the sudden attack of the ink knife, the man had no power to fight back, and he didn't even see the sword in the ink knife's hand.
There was an incredible expression written on his face, and the man didn't even believe that it was all real. In this Heaven Abandoned City, he can be said to be an absolute master, except for the city lord, few people are his opponents. But at this moment, he was dominated by someone else's move.
"Despicable!" Guo Xiaofei shouted loudly, she would never have thought that the ink knife who was willing to cut off his arm in order to save people would do such a despicable thing.
"You lost. The ink knife said, and the sword in his hand was put down. Mean, Modao didn't feel it, or he didn't care what others said about him. No matter when, as long as you do it, the ink knife will use all its strength at the first time.
The City Lord of the Abandoned Heaven City was also slightly stunned, he was ready to enjoy a fight. That's one of his pleasures.
He never imagined that this duel, which seemed to him to be evenly matched, would end so quickly that he didn't even have time to watch it.
Looking deeply at the ink knife, at this moment, the city lord of the abandoned sky city had a new understanding of the ink knife in his heart. It was also at this moment that his heart became agitated. A long-cherished wish has finally been realized.
The thought of being able to get that thing made the heart of the Abandoned Heaven City City Lord excited.
"My lord, I'm not convinced!" said the man in white.
"Take it down. The city lord of the Abandoned Heaven City commanded, and he didn't look at the man in white. At this time, all he had in his eyes was the ink knife, the person who could help him realize his long-cherished wish.
