Chapter 70: The Aftermath of Insanity
A few days passed
Chen Liu had been to the City Lord's Mansion a few times, but he didn't find anything, it seemed that the City Lord had no interest in Xu Tian's whereabouts, but he knew in his heart that there was probably someone more useful than himself, and it should be the "guard" who gave advice there, if it weren't for the fact that he proposed the City Lord to let me send Yu Nan's life, he wouldn't be so embarrassed now.

It's thankless, Chen Liu is now a two-headed hat, he is worried every day, and even dreaming is all kinds of ways to die, isn't it bitter to death.
Yu Nan's wound has also healed a lot, but he is still very careful with his gestures, the wound is too deep and long, and the scab is easy to crack, the kind of pain and itching, but he can't scratch or scratch, he can only endure it, which is not a small torture.
Xu Tian and Dongsheng have their own things, one meditates and practices all day to strengthen their spiritual power, and the other refines medicine and makes pills, and they are not idle, only chatting or discussing before and after dinner in the morning and evening.
The enemy doesn't move, I don't move, Xu Tian is ready to wait for Duan Buqun to strike first, according to the news that Chen Liu brought back in the past few days, he has already estimated that strange "guard", the eight achievements are Zhao Ziheng, at the same time, he sincerely feels a kind of admiration for Zhao Ziheng's scheming, but he was taught a lesson, he can keep chasing him to Beicheng, and colluding with Duan Buqun is also considered a little capable.
And everything that seems to be calm in the past few days is just a façade.
After Zhao Zhenyue took over the first stone mine, his gratitude to the city lord was very deep, and he was going to sit in the city lord's mansion for three days, and accompanied Duan Buqun to fight chess and hot wine, both of them were very happy.
Although Zhao Ziheng avoided everywhere and did not want Zhao Zhenyue to find out that he was in the city lord's mansion, Zhao Zhenyue had always sent people to secretly stare at Zhao Ziheng, and Zhao Ziheng naturally couldn't escape Zhao Zhenyue's "magic eye" where he was.
However, Zhao Zhenyue didn't say anything, and when he was only eating, he privately explained to the city lord that Zhao Ziheng and himself were uncles and nephews, and he also toasted three glasses of wine in a row, hoping that Duan Buqun could take more care and cultivate.
After that, Duan Buqun had a new attitude towards this Zhao Ziheng, but he didn't make any big decisions, just quietly observed, and then saw if this person was a usable talent, and the most important thing was whether he could use it for himself.
The people of Beicheng returned to their usual state, Xu Tian's evil deeds twice in a row had already been said to be rotten, and seeing that the city lord and the ruling people had no movement, they put away their benevolence and righteousness, only from time to time a few women would talk to each other, but soon moved on to the next topic.
Zhang Wanguan also did a lot of bad things before, but the city lord was also indifferent, Zhang Wanguan often sent money to the city lord and the rulers in the city, who didn't know, the people were like a mirror in their hearts, and at this time they naturally thought that Xu Tian was blocking things with money.
The people can't control these "big things", they can only talk and laugh, and just give up, but Zhao Ziheng, who is next to the city lord, is an anxious man, and he feels very anxious about the city lord's silence for the past few days.
"City Lord, when are you going to do it to Xu Tian?"
This is the second time Zhao Ziheng has asked Duan Buqun this question, and he is respectful, but the unhappy expression on his face has already explained his mood.
"Young people just can't hold their breath...... Hehe. ”
Duan Buqun was still the same as before, and did not make any answers, slowly picked up the tea, lightly whisked the fragrance of tea, and said in a rather old-timer tone.
"I just don't understand what the city lord is waiting for, Beicheng belongs to your cultivation to the highest, Xu Tian's crime has been so turbulent, there is nothing wrong with you going to arrest him!"
Zhao Ziheng organized the language in his heart, chose a way not to offend, and expressed his doubts.
"Xu Tian naturally has nothing to be afraid of, it's just that Dongsheng of Wancaotang, every day by Xu Tian's side, I have to be careful!"
Duan Buqun sighed lightly, envious of Xu Tian in his heart, he could have such a friendship with Dongsheng, if he didn't have any trouble, it would be difficult to fly Huang Tengda in the future, as the saying goes, with excellent people, dead wood can also agarwood, and fellowship with despicable people, you can only become more despicable!
Zhao Ziheng naturally knows who Dongsheng is, but he has different opinions, and he looks down on Dongsheng in his heart, thinking that he is admired by everyone because of his family power.
"But it is the responsibility of the ruling powers to arrest Xu Tian, Dongsheng has no right to intervene, if the city lord insists, Dongsheng is afraid that he will not be able to stop it!"
Zhao Ziheng said with some indignation, inexplicably contemptuous of Dongsheng even more.
"Dong Sheng can't stop it, but behind Dong Sheng is the entire Medicine King Sect, and as far as I know, Xu Tian is still the apprentice of the Medicine Half Immortal, and the people involved are too wide, I have to think about it carefully before making a decision. ”
Duan Buqun rarely had such patience to talk to others about what he thought in his heart, but Zhao Ziheng's seemingly despicable means of dealing with the enemy made him feel a little interesting, thinking that maybe this kid could come up with something he couldn't think of.
After hearing this, Zhao Ziheng's face showed disdain, his eyes unconsciously showed a trace of arrogance, and he snorted coldly: "What if I tell you that Yao Banxian is dead......
As soon as these words came out, Duan Buqun immediately stood up from his chair and asked in a shocked and hurried tone: "Is this true?
"Heh! I said that it was because I killed it well, or because Xu Tiancai died well!"
Zhao Ziheng seemed to be talking to himself, but he was obviously talking to Duan Buqun.
Of course, Duan Buqun didn't understand what these words meant, his face was suspicious, his eyes were fixed on Zhao Ziheng, and the whole person looked like he was not angry and arrogant.
Zhao Ziheng didn't pay attention to Duan Buqun's gaze, only coldly raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, unhurriedly as if he was saying something general, the death of the medicine half-immortal, explained very carefully for Duan Buqun, and when he talked about Yanshan, the smile on the corner of his mouth was colder and thicker, and he looked like a wolf.
"City Lord, if you still care about Dongsheng's back, then I really want to laugh at you......"
After Zhao Ziheng finished talking about the medicine half-immortal, seeing that Duan Buqun had not spoken for a long time, his eyes drifted indifferently into the distance, and he said in a tone that seemed to be smiling.
"Elder Yanshan has a very high prestige in Jiuzhenmen, and Beicheng is also a household name, he expelled Zhao Ziheng from the division, I am afraid that it is not only because of the death of the medicine half-immortal, this Zhao Ziheng, to say that it sounds good, is brave and strategic, but he wants to put Xu Tian to death, looking at the meaning between his words just now, it is estimated that Yanshan has an unfilial heart, this kind of violent person, it is difficult to achieve. ”
Duan Buqun didn't answer, but secretly figured it out in his heart, he still had some cultivation intentions, but at the moment, he was in vain.
Zhao Ziheng was a little anxious, and he felt strange in his heart, but he still didn't think so, so he could be regarded as honest, and when he listened to my words, how could the city lord be impressed with me!
"City Lord, Sect Master of the Medicine King Sect, how can you help Dong Sheng to prevent you from arresting the guilty person, wouldn't you lose the knowledge of right and wrong, and make people see that you are an unreasonable person, if it were you, what would you ......do?"
Zhao Ziheng's attitude became a lot more respectful, and he was a little unsure under his confidence.
Duan Buqun glanced at him meaningfully, and looked at him carefully from top to bottom, his expression was a little strange, and he didn't speak, and Zhao Ziheng was apprehensive for a while.
