Wang Junliang entered the back hall to rest at the request of Huang Yuchen, and Huang Yuchen continued to sit in the hall, he didn't know what he was waiting for, but he always felt that something was going to happen, and he had this feeling in his heart in recent days, which made him a little uncomfortable.

At noon, Pang Qi came to the City Lord's Mansion with a few township party members from Ekang City, and after bowing to Emperor Yuchen, Pang Qi said: "My lord, have you lived well in the past few days?"

Pang Qi is an ordinary person, he doesn't have any cultivation, he doesn't know about these turbulent things that happened in Ekang City, but he feels that since Huang Yuchen came, Ekang City seems to be more stable than before.

Except, of course, there was an assassination in the first place.

Huang Yuchen looked at Pang Qi, got up, and said with a smile: "Old Pang, I'm resting well, why are you here?"

As he spoke, Huang Yuchen led Pang Qi to a chair on the side and sat down, for this old man, Huang Yuchen still admired it from the bottom of his heart.

"A few days ago, someone assassinated an adult. Pang Qi was helped by Huang Yuchen to sit on the chair beside him, with a worried look on his face, and said: "Since then, the old man has been restless day and night, and I came to find the adult today to recommend a few competent people to the adult." ”

"Oh?" Huang Yuchen was stunned for a moment, and then turned his gaze to the few township party members standing on the side, these people looked burly, but they were older and had passed the prime of life.

"These are hunters in the nearby mountains, who spend their days navigating snowy mountains and rivers in pursuit of nimble beasts. Pang Qi looked at Huang Yuchen and said, "My lord was assassinated in this city, and the old man couldn't sleep and eat, so I found a few of them, and wanted them to stay with the adults and keep them safe." ”

Huang Yuchen glanced at a few people next to him, smiled and said to Pang Qi: "Old Pang, no need, ordinary people still can't get close to me, if you meet someone with advanced cultivation, I'm afraid these people can't stop them." ”

Of course, Huang Yuchen believed that Pang Qi was kind, but the few people he brought really couldn't get into Huang Yuchen's eyes. Not only are they not cultivated, but they are also older, although they have been shuttling among the mountains and rivers all year round and have a strong tracking ability, but they have no effect on protecting Huang Yuchen at all.

Naturally, having a strong tracking ability can help Huang Yuchen do some things, such as tracking down those cultivators who have left Ekang City, but if they are discovered, I am afraid it will be the line between life and death.

Besides, Huang Yuchen didn't know anything about these people, and he didn't know if he could trust them.

Pang Qi heard the meaning of Huang Yuchen's tone, sighed softly, and said: "Don't blame, my lord, in Ekang City, there are only these few people who can be found by the old decay, these few people can be trusted, and the old decay can guarantee his life." ”

When Huang Yuchen heard this, he gently patted the back of Pang Qi's hand and said, "Old Pang, I know that you are kind, but now let these uncles stay by my side, I am afraid that I will harm their lives." ”

"We all came voluntarily, and even if we lost our lives, we were willing, and we would never resent adults. ”

"To be able to stay with the adults and do something for the empire, that's what we want!"

"My lord, leave us behind, we are absolutely obedient!"

"My lord, you are also short of a hand-off person, you can't let you do everything yourself, leave us!"

A few big men behind you say a word to me, and they naturally listen to it

Out of the distrust in Huang Yuchen's words, they all opened their mouths to express their hearts, and it seemed that they really wanted to stay by Huang Yuchen's side.

Huang Yuchen turned his head and saluted a few people slightly, and several people were immediately shocked and hurriedly returned the salute.

"It's not that I don't want to keep a few people around, the news of my return has already spread, and the heads of other forces in the vicinity will inevitably arrange someone to assassinate me, they have lost last time, and the people sent out later will only be more difficult to deal with. ”

"A few uncles stayed by my side, I was afraid that I would really worry about my life, and now there are still a few people around me who can protect me. ”

After Huang Yuchen finished saying these words, several big men immediately looked anxious, but when they saw Huang Yuchen waving his hand, they could only hold back what they wanted to say.

......Seeing this, Pang Qi got up from his seat, looked at Huang Yuchen, and said: "The old man knows that the adults are short of manpower, although these people are too old, they have the ability that ordinary people do not have, and staying in the adults may not be able to protect the adults, but there must be other uses." ”

"I understand your wishes. Huang Yuchen whispered to Pang Qi: "I really lack some manpower, but now is not the time." ”

"After this matter settles down for a while, I will definitely go to find Pang Lao, and I really need the help of a few uncles. As he spoke, Huang Yuchen saluted a few big men again.

As a high-ranking person, the younger brother of the current emperor can do this to the civilians, which flattered several people, and they hurriedly returned the salute respectfully, but at the same time felt that forcibly staying here might really make it difficult for Huang Yuchen, so they didn't say anything more.

Pang Qi saw Huang Yuchen's appearance, sighed softly, and said: "My lord, the old man can help the adult, that's all, the old man is a small city, the young children have been taken out of the city by Fan Liao, and the rest of the city are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they can't help to protect the adults, and the old man is really ashamed." ”

"What did you say, Old Pang. Huang Yuchen hurriedly said: "If you weren't old, I wouldn't be able to stay in Ekang City now, you have a sincere view of the empire in your eyes, how can you blame your seniors." ”

"Hey......" Pang Qi looked at Huang Yuchen, the look on his face was very helpless, and said: "Since the adult has decided, the old man will not say more, and then go back, the adult is so precious, the old man can't do anything else, the adult's three meals a day, in the future, the old man will let people send it directly to the adult." ”

Huang Yuchen looked at Pang Qi's appearance, and he was embarrassed to refuse, so he had to nod.

This old man's mind Huang Yuchen can understand, he feels in his heart that if he doesn't do something for Huang Yuchen, he won't go, if Huang Yuchen insists on resigning, I'm afraid there will be some bad effects.

"Then, the old decay will leave, and the adults don't have to send it. Pang Qi bowed to Emperor Yuchen, and then left the hall of the City Lord's Mansion with a few big men.

Huang Yuchen looked at the back of Pang Qi leaving, looked at his somewhat stumbling steps, and suddenly felt a little sour in his heart, he reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose, turned around and sat down in his seat, feeling a little stunned.

Pang Qi is such a person, he has seen it for the first time in his life, this person does not seem to do anything from his own interests, and does it completely for the ideal in his heart, which makes Huang Yuchen admire it very much, this is actually the first ideal in his heart.

Once upon a time, Huang Yuchen's ideal in life was to enter the empire and use himself

What you have learned will benefit all sentient beings and build Qitian into a peaceful and prosperous world and a powerful empire.

And now, it is very difficult to pray that the heavens are falling apart, and it is still trying to do all this.

Therefore, after Huang Yuchen saw Pang Qi, he was moved by the thoughts and practices in his heart, and it also resonated in his heart.

As the sun set, Pang Qi really arranged for someone to bring a sumptuous meal to Huang Yuchen, and when he left, this person also made the stove in the hall prosperous, and this fire-making technique was much stronger than Huang Yuchen, who only used fire attribute energy to make fire.

After this person left, Huang Yuchen sighed lightly and prepared to dine directly in the hall.

At this time, a figure appeared in the hall, and Huang Yuchen looked up to see that it was Su Rong, who had left before, she was arranged by Huang Yuchen to keep an eye on the cultivators in the city, but she didn't know why she suddenly came back.

"Senior, what's wrong?" Huang Yuchen was about to eat with chopsticks in one hand, and when he saw Su Rong's appearance, he was suddenly stunned.

Su Rong didn't speak, but walked straight forward, took off the chopsticks in Huang Yuchen's hand, put them back in the lunch box, and then put every meal on his table back into the lunch box, looking at him like that, he didn't want Huang Yuchen to eat these things at all.

"Uh......" Huang Yuchen didn't stop him, but he wondered in his heart, Surong's temperament has always been cold, she must have her purpose in doing all this.

Don't......

"This meal is not edible. Su Rong said lightly to Huang Yuchen, and then put the lunch box in his hand on the ground, his mind moved, this lunch box seemed to be squeezed by a strong external force, and Huang Yuchen could clearly hear the sound of the dishes breaking inside the lunch box.

When Su Rong squatted down to open the lunch box, Huang Yuchen looked down and saw that the food inside had already been messed up, but he could clearly see that there were some black things mixed between the meals, but he didn't know what it was.

"It's a poison. Su Rong closed the lid and said to Huang Yuchen: "It won't have any effect when used separately, but if it is mixed together, it will become poison." ”

"This thing won't kill you, but it will clog your meridians and affect your fighting spirit. "Su Rong's words are very concise, and it is already very good to be able to say so much.

Huang Yuchen was stunned when he heard this, and immediately asked, "How does the senior know?"

"The few people who followed me today have come to the City Lord's Mansion. Su Rong said: "Among the people brought in by the old man, there is one who is very hidden, and this person who brings you food is another target of my attention." ”

Huang Yuchen's brows immediately furrowed, and he said, "Are they going to attack me?"

Su Rong nodded and said, "There are some people who have started to move here intentionally or unintentionally, it should be the same group." ”

"They met you in person during the day, analyzed your abilities, and decided to poison you first, and if the poisoning was successful, they would enter the City Lord's Mansion and take you away. Su Rong pointed to the lunch box on the ground and said, "If I don't come back, you've been tricked by now." ”

Huang Yuchen absolutely believed what Su Rong said, because Su Rong had no reason to lie to him at all, but he didn't notice that this incident happened in front of his eyes.

"How does the senior know?" asked Huang Yuchen.

"It's simple. Su Rong looked at Huang Yuchen with a cold face: "I only pay attention to the people who want to contact the City Lord's Mansion." ”
