Shangguan Ru arrived first, and as soon as he jumped down from the flame horse, he bowed down at the same time with more than a dozen female soldiers and the swordsmen of the Kun Society, and said with a smile: "The Dragon King issued an order to prohibit killing, Bi Yucheng is grateful to Dade, the Kun Society is weak and weak, and it can't help much, so I am willing to be the first to respond and abide by this order together." ”

"Welcome. Gu Shenwei stood at the door of the barracks and returned the salute, and the two were polite.

The red bat followed the dragon king, looking excited and excited, although she went into the city every few days to meet the sect leader, she still couldn't help crying at this time, Shangguan Ru walked over and took her hand and entered the barracks together.

The Lotus Girl came alone, riding a small donkey, dressed plainly, and was almost stopped by the patrol soldiers of the Dragon Army, until someone recognized her as the Imperial Master of Xiaoyue Hall, so she respectfully let her go, and escorted her all the way to the gate of the barracks.

Gu Shenwei still went out to greet him.

The lotus girl did not even get down to the ground, nodded to the people, and rode into the camp on a donkey.

Han Fen didn't want the imperial master to look shabby, so he learned the expression of the red bat, sobbed and cried, and helped the imperial master to lead the way with the reins, and the soldiers standing in line on both sides of the road couldn't help but wonder in their eyes, thinking that this was a folk girl bought by the dragon king.

This was an official meeting, Shangguan Ru, Red Bat and Lotus Girl, and Han Fen were considered guests, and Gu Shenwei was accompanied by Zhong Heng, Chu Nanping, and a guard.

Zhong Heng presided over the meeting for the Dragon King, the first thing he said was the ban on killing, he had already spread the order in the Dragon Army camp in the east and the Shule [***] camp in the west, and Hu Shining in the city also publicly announced that he would restrain his swordsmen and killers, and no one was allowed to kill, and all disputes within the Dragon King's sphere of influence must be resolved by the Protector Army.

The Protector Mansion is an institution that Gu Shenwei has just established, the mansion is the same mansion as Hu Shining's stronghold, and Zhong Heng is the first Guardian Captain, compared with the city patrol captain he used to serve as a native of the Central Plains, the area under his jurisdiction is now smaller, only nearly half of the southern city and less than a quarter of the northern city, but the power is real.

"Whether or not to accept the protection and mediation of the Protectorate is voluntary. Zhong Heng explained that the Dragon King was not yet the lord of the city, so he could not force outsiders to accept the ban on killing, "However, from the feedback I have received, the vast majority of people are willing to respond to this order, at least the four swordsman villages have agreed not to solve the problem with swords, and they will publicly announce this decision tomorrow." ”

Shangguan Ru was very happy, "Although Kunshe is small, there is also a piece of land in the north of Nancheng, we voluntarily accept the jurisdiction of the Protector Army, and in the future, Prime Minister Zhong Cheng will be Zhong Protector, you are probably the first official in the history of Biyu City to set up rules, right?"

Zhong Heng coughed twice, "I, an official, only have a little power within the Dragon Army, and in Biyu City, I have to rely on your support and help, which is why the Dragon King invited the two of them to gather here." ”

As Shangguan Ru said, the Kunshe is indeed very small, although it has hundreds of swordsmen and female soldiers, it never participates in the competition for territory, only a small area northeast of Nancheng seeks its protection, and most of the people living there are small businessmen and poor people, and the most important thing about Kunshe is that it does not charge fees.

The one who can really have an important impact on the ban is Xiaoyuetang.

Xiaoyue Hall has no public territory in Biyu City, the Bodhi Garden Underground Palace has been abandoned, and the Lotus Girl and some of her disciples live in the Xindeyi Building in Liuren Lane, and there has been no action for many days, indicating that they are just a group of passers-by who rent in Nancheng, but everyone knows that the people in that building, regardless of gender, are evil stars, and they can't be easily provoked.

The Lotus Girl once said to the Dragon King that Xiaoyue Hall still has hidden strength, and its impact on Biyu City is immeasurable.

The lotus girl sat there and listened for a while, and said, "The Dragon King has the right to prohibit his subordinates from killing again, but I don't know what benefit Xiaoyue will do to respond to this order?"

Han Fen added: "Yes, if you don't kill people, how can that person die?

Zhong Heng said with a smile: "Of course there are benefits, the imperial masters must also know that the forces of the Central Plains are infiltrating Biyu City, and the new protector of the Western Regions will arrive tomorrow, and it is likely to find an excuse to take over Biyu City at that time, and one of the benefits of the ban is that it does not give the Central Plains the truth." ”

The lotus girl was still lukewarm, "With all due respect, the Dragon King is a bit nosy, Biyu City is not his, nor is it mine, what does it make if anyone takes over? Besides, the Dragon King issued a ban on his own without consulting with Xiaoyuetang, and his reputation is all his, Xiaoyuetang has nothing to gain, only the impression of groveling to please the Dragon King." ”

Shangguan Ru's face was slightly red, knowing that there was something in the Dutch girl's words, Han Fen looked at the red bat and repeated: "Grovel to please the Dragon King." The red bat was glared.

The lotus girl was so straightforward and tough, so that the veteran Zhong Heng was a little overwhelmed, "This...... Where did you grovel?"

Gu Shenwei opened his mouth and said, "Those moves are not something I came up with, I will tell you the source, in exchange for Xiaoyue Hall to comply with the ban on killing." ”

The lotus girl thought for a moment, "This is a benefit, the dragon king should have said it from the beginning." ”

Zhong Heng smiled awkwardly, thinking to himself that these two people were like the king of an army and the master of a family, more direct than a bargaining vendor.

"The Imperial Master can ask for more benefits, and I see that the Dragon King will agree to anything. Han Fen whispered with a wink, swept away by the cold gaze of the Dutch girl, and didn't dare to speak again for a long time.

"In this way, Xiaoyue Tang is also willing to restrain his subordinates to prohibit killing?" Zhong Heng asked, he was not very relieved not to get a clear answer from the lotus girl.

"I will prohibit Xiaoyue Hall disciples from killing outsiders, but I will not prohibit cannibalism. ”

Zhong Heng was stunned, looked at the Dragon King, and said for a while: "Of course, no one can interfere in the internal affairs of Xiaoyue Hall, the family has a family law, the door has a door rule, and the imperial master can punish the disciple as much as he wants." ”

This is Zhong Heng's understanding of "cannibalism" to the greatest extent.

The red bat couldn't help it, and whispered, "Sect leader, don't you mention some conditions?"

Shangguan Ru was slightly stunned, "Banning killing is the biggest benefit, what conditions do you have to mention?"

The red bat was embarrassed to respond, turned his head and saw Han Fen making a grimace at himself, so he snorted disdainfully, and suddenly found that this would make the sect leader misunderstand, his face turned red, and he wanted to explain but couldn't speak, and he couldn't help but be very angry in his heart.

Shangguan Ru didn't have the conditions, but Zhong Heng did, coughed twice, and said: "With the support of Kunshe and Xiaoyuetang, the ban on killing can be regarded as half of the success, but there is one biggest obstacle, or two ......."

Zhong Heng is good at kung fu in circles, Shangguan Ru helped him save time, "Zhong Hujun is worried about Jinpeng Fort and Tianshan Sect, leave this matter to me, I don't dare to guarantee that it will be successful, but there are always seven or eight points of certainty." ”

Red Bat kept tugging at the corners of the sect's clothes, suggesting that she shouldn't take things so easily, but she didn't get a response, so she could only secretly regret it.

Han Fen would not back down, and pointed behind the Dutch girl, even he didn't know what the purpose of doing this was.

"This is very good, tomorrow Biyu City will use the ban on killing to welcome the new protector of the Western Regions. Zhong Heng didn't expect things to be so easy, he was very happy in his heart, his task had been completed, so he found an excuse and retreated from the main tent with Chu Nanping and the guards, not thinking about how the Dragon King would face the two girls next.

The red bat consciously retreated, but Han Fen waited until the Dutch girl gave the order before reluctantly retreating.

There were three people left in the tent, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, everyone's eyes were looking in different directions, and no one looked at anyone, Gu Shenwei felt that he had an obligation to explain this matter, so he spoke: "It's better to talk about it, the three of us all want to be the lord of Biyu City, right?"

The lotus girl turned her head and glanced at Shangguan Ru, who smiled, "That's right, I also want to fight for the position of city lord." ”

Many things need to be explained, but explanations seem redundant, and Shangguan Ru simply doesn't say it.

Gu Shenwei didn't ask, "With the addition of Jinpeng Fort and the Central Plains people, there are five parties competing for the position of the city lord, and the Central Plains people will help Jinpeng Fort at that time." ”

"Didn't the people of the Central Plains form an alliance with the Dragon King?" Shangguan Ru asked in surprise.

"The alliance with me is King Xiao, and there is another faction of Central Plains people who prefer Dubu King, I guess the new Western Regions Protector is the latter faction, for the Central Plains people, this is a two-sided bet, no matter who wins, they will be the winner. ”

The Lotus Nu snorted, because no Central Plains people were optimistic about Xiaoyue Hall, "Does the Dragon King want the three of us to fight against Jinpeng Fort and the Central Plains people together?" She glanced at Shangguan Ru again, full of doubts.

Shangguan Ru understood what she meant, "My father allowed me to return to the city, it doesn't mean that I will become a person from Jinpeng Fort again, let's put it bluntly, the 'backer' behind me is the Four Noble Truths, and the monks hope to turn Biyu City into a place where Buddhism flourishes, I think this is a good thing, and the Dragon King's ban on killing is a beginning." So I don't want Jinpeng Castle to take the position of city lord, although my father gave up the killer, but that is only a stopgap measure, and it will return to the old state when it is done. ”

The lotus girl raised her head slightly, and her heart no longer had the restraint when facing the old lord, "I only have one question, why are you competing for the position of city lord?"

In the impression of the Dutch girl, Shangguan Ruke has never been a master.

Shangguan Ru smiled slightly, "A high monk passed on his life's skills to me before he died, and the Four Noble Truths Garan knew about it and taught me a few kung fu, so I have to fight." ”

The lotus girl looked at Shangguan Ru and warned herself not to underestimate this opponent, the person who is favored by both the Four Truths Garan and the Dubu King should not be mediocre, "This is also the reason why the Dubu King allowed you to return to the city?"

Shangguan Ru's face was slightly gloomy, because what the lotus girl said was right, between her and her father, family affection played a very small role.

The three of them made an alliance agreement, and the atmosphere fell into embarrassment again, this time it was Shangguan Ru who broke the silence first, and there was a sentence she had endured for a long time, "Are you injured?"

The lotus girl's heart trembled slightly, she had already seen that the dragon king was injured, but this was not the key, she finally confirmed a fact from Shangguan Ru's tone and eyes, Han Fen was right, these two people did have a skin-to-skin relationship, and they were destined to be outsiders.

So what? The Dutch found that she was not jealous, but relieved, that there was no longer any need to worry about a thought, and that the only obstacle standing in the way of the dead man's path was gone.
