In the City Lord's Mansion, Tang Qianjun was lying on the bed, with green muscles and a high abdomen, like an old man in the twilight, and his breath looked very weak.

Tang Yun waited on the edge of the bed, holding her father's thin palm, her beautiful face crawling with sorrow.

Lu Chen went out for less than a moment, and another big event happened that made her feel worse, I don't know who was secretly doing it, and even quietly spread the news that the city lord was seriously ill, making Wushuang City boiling, rumors spread, and Wushuang City was about to change the sky. When the people heard the news, they immediately panicked and fidgeted, for fear that Baihulou would send an army to attack Wushuang City and make a lot of trouble.

Don't look at the prosperity of Wushuang City on the surface, but since the people who experienced the scourge of the last war have long been exhausted and do not want to be victims of the war anymore, many people have begun to pack up their soft and prepare to leave their hometowns and leave the city overnight to avoid disaster.

Tang Yun temporarily acted as the city lord, how could he let the people leave their hometowns and avoid disasters everywhere, so that Wushuang City would become an empty city. So, she made a decision to send people everywhere to arrest the rumor-mongers, and at the same time closed the city gates, sent more men and horses, and strengthened the city's defenses.

Now there are internal and external troubles, and there are constant troubles, which makes Tang Yun anxious, and she is always worried about her sister Tang Xuan and Lu Chen, who went to Niutou Mountain to collect medicine, not to mention how tired she is.

A group of people in the hall were all worried, seemingly worried about the safety of the city lord, but their stomachs were full of thoughts.

"Hey, how should this be good, the city lord is seriously ill, and I don't know who revealed this matter, and now the city is in an uproar, full of wind and rain, and eventful!" An old man with gray temples walked up and down the hall, sighing, his old face full of anxiety.

Another strong man in heavy armor persuaded softly: "Elder Tang, don't wander around, the matter has come to this point, let's take this matter to the sect, let the sect master come forward to solve it, it is a matter of life and death in Wushuang City, we have to act cautiously!"

"Well, I think General Ren has a point, now that the city lord is seriously ill, and the entire county is leaderless, and the top and bottom are in chaos, it is better to write a secret letter and send it to the sect's Elder Liu, he is sitting in the backing city, and it is close to us, let him hurry up and send reinforcements to come over to reinforce and deal with these troublesome things!" A big man with thick eyebrows said with a sad face.

Another burly man snorted: "Shut up, things haven't developed out of control yet, don't panic, everyone, hold steady, we can handle this matter ourselves." What's more, the city lord is not dead yet, you are thinking about asking for help everywhere, are you afraid? Still do you feel ashamed enough? When the time comes, what will those people in the sect think of us!"

"Jiang Tian, what are you talking about!"

"Hmph, old man, I see that you are the spy who spreads rumors!"

"Bastard, who do you think you are?"

As soon as Jiang Tian's words came out, a group of high-level officials in the hall exploded, glaring at Jiang Tian angrily, spitting stars flying all over the sky, scolding, and noisy voices made the entire hall into a miasma.

And in a corner of the hall, Situ Jian, who was disguised as Wei Lan, was silently watching this scene, with a look of watching a good show, and the corners of his mouth were full of sarcasm.

Let's make a fuss, the bigger the trouble, the better, and the better the situation will be for him.

He was happy in his heart, this was the situation he had been looking forward to for a long time, as he planned, only the last step was missing, as soon as the city lord died, he immediately sent his men lurking in the county city to attack the guards at the city gate overnight, quickly open the city gate, let the army of the White Tiger Tower enter the city, and when the time came, kill them without leaving a piece of armor, and occupy Wushuang City in the shortest possible time.

With such great achievements, he Wei Lan has made great contributions, and when the time comes, Baihulou will not remember his great achievements, and in the future, his status in the sect will definitely rise in a straight line, and he will no longer have to be looked down upon by those so-called elite disciples.

Thinking about it, he seems to have seen a bright future.

"Peng!" Just when everyone was arguing irresistibly, suddenly a teacup slammed on the ground, and the loud sound shook everyone at once!

A group of people looked at each other, looking at Tang Yun with a cold face, and no one dared to say a word for a long time.

"Have you had enough noise!" Tang Yun shouted coldly as she looked at everyone coldly, and a majestic momentum quietly diffused from her thin body.

After half a ring, Jiang Tian took a step forward, bowed down and said, "Miss, what do you think we should do next?"

Tang Yun glanced at Jiang Tian seriously, then swept over everyone, and pondered for a moment before saying: "First appease the people in the city, send more people to strictly investigate the spies, strengthen the defense of the county town, and then wait for Lu Chen to come back!"

When Jiang Tian heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "Miss, I don't know if I should say it or not!"

"General Jiang, it's okay for you to say!" Tang Yun said with a very high authority.

Jiang Tiandao: "That Lu Chen's origin is unknown, although he is appreciated by the city lord, but Jiang always feels unreliable, maybe he ....." He hesitated for a while and continued: "Let's think of another way!"

Tang Yun said bluntly: "You think he is a spy!"

As soon as these words came out, a group of people in the hall became strange, and Situ Jian's eyes were full of banter.

Jiang Tian said respectfully: "It's not impossible!"

Tang Yun's eyes flashed: "What evidence do you have?"

Jiang Tian hesitated a little, and responded: "I have investigated his details, this person's parents died in his early years, although he belongs to the Wushuang City clan, but three years ago, he suddenly disappeared, and his whereabouts are unknown, and now he suddenly appeared in Wushuang City, just at the time of the turmoil in the county town, it is too much of a coincidence! Moreover, he has nothing to do with our city lord, why is he so concerned about the city lord's serious illness, it will inevitably cause others to be suspicious." ”

Tang Yun looked directly at Jiang Tian and said coldly: "Just because of your one-sided words, you think that Lu Chen is a spy, do you think this statement can convince others! If this is possible, can I also suspect that anyone present is suspicious?"

When Jiang Tian heard this, he immediately sweated, his head was as big as a fight, and he hurriedly said, "Miss, you misunderstood!"

"Okay, General Jiang, don't say it, you have done your best for your father, and he will understand your heart. But there is no need to say anything about things without evidence, this spread will easily affect the reputation of the City Lord's Mansion! Moreover, I also believe in Mr. Lu Chen's character, since he has a way, just wait for him to come back, and I will take care of this matter. Even if you find a way to go to the sect, I'm afraid it's already too late! Wushuang City is in a stormy time, I hope you will unite as one and unite to get through the difficulties, and the little girl is grateful. When my father wakes up, I will reward you for your meritorious deeds. Tang Yun looked around and said calmly, looking confident.

After listening to the eldest lady's words, many high-level executives discussed in a low voice for a while, and then they all bowed their hands and said: "I am sent by the eldest lady!"

In fact, Jiang Tian's suspicion Tang Yun didn't think about it, although she didn't know much about Lu Chen, but after experiencing that night, I don't know why, she had an almost blind trust in Lu Chen.

At this point, the entire Wushuang City was in chaos, and he could only put the bet on Lu Chen and gamble.

At this time, a guard hurriedly walked from outside the hall and handed Tang Yun a note.

Tang Yun took it with one hand, and his cold face suddenly appeared a little dignified, and his gloomy expression seemed uncertain.

Situ Jian in the corner looked at this scene in surprise, his brows furrowed slightly, and he secretly guessed in his heart, could it be that Lu Chen really picked up the medicine and returned safely?

According to the agreed plan, he had sent his junior brother Zhou Yuntao to lead the 'Thirteen Swords of Yuhua' to assassinate Lu Chen, if nothing else, the other party was only afraid that he would have died in Niutou Mountain by now, and he should not appear in Wushuang City.

Could it be that there was an accident on the way, Zhou Yunhai's assassination failed, allowing Lu Chen to escape?

Tang Yun stood in the center of the hall and rushed to Jiang Tian in front of him: "General Jiang, I order you to lead a team of guards to the south of the city to deploy defenses. ”

Jiang Tian's thick eyebrows furrowed, and he wanted to speak again, but when he saw Tang Yun winking at him slightly, he suddenly understood, turned around and walked out of the hall.

And this kind of action, Situ Jian saw it all in his eyes, and faintly felt that something was not good in his heart, could it be that there was a mistake in the plan that had been agreed on a long time ago? He glanced towards the outside of the hall, and caught a glimpse of a bamboo kite painted with a harrier rising from the sky in the distance outside, and then he found a reason and slipped out of the City Lord's Mansion, among the many high-level officials, only he had a low status, plus Situ Jian acted low-key, they naturally would not pay attention to him!

The kite that was dropped from the house in the sky near the city lord's mansion was actually the code agreed upon by Zhou Yunhai and Wei Lan, and in case of any emergency, the two sides could contact each other immediately, which was very convenient.

The sun is setting on the west mountain, and the sunset casts two long silhouettes on the two figures galloping on the official road.

"The city gate is closed, so early?" Lu Chen looked at the closed city gate not far away, with a surprised expression.

Seeing this, Tang Xuan immediately became angry and said: "What are these people doing, what city gates are closed for no reason, it's not time yet, go back, I will definitely make this group of people look good!"

Lu Chen pondered for a moment and said indifferently: "Something happened in the city!"

When Tang Xuan heard this, she was a little stunned: "How is it possible, before we go out, the Wushuang City is still calm and peaceful." ”
