With a popping sound, crystal water droplets splashed on the slowly flowing river, but the woman who had just been looking forward to leaving the city sank to the bottom of the river in a sack.
Within a few breaths, the splashing water fell back into the river, the spreading ripples disappeared, and the entire moat returned to its former appearance, as if nothing had happened.
"Boss, did this woman make any mistake? She actually asked the commander to deal with her by name?"
After watching for a while by the river, he found that there was no sign of the body floating. One of the city gate guards breathed a sigh of relief and asked their leader.
"Who knows, maybe he didn't know where he offended Commander Liu."
The man in the lead didn't take it seriously and casually replied that he was just following orders and couldn't care about much.
"But this is already the second one today, isn't it? She seems to be a maid in the city lord's palace. Isn't it a bit..."
Another guard's words were filled with worry, and he still felt confused.
First, it’s okay if Miss Ling from the mansion hurried out of the city with a long sword. Whatever her status is, she is still a monk. They have no control over this kind of thing.
But then there was a problem with the two maids who sneaked over to get out of the city. Their faces were full of panic and uneasiness, and they looked like they were fleeing in fear of crime. Thinking about it, they probably made some big mistake.
But the maid in the city lord's palace made a mistake, how did Commander Liu know? And you specifically ordered them to finish it off?
This hand is stretched too long and has crossed the line!
If the young city lord interferes, they themselves will be the unlucky ones.
"Shut up and stop thinking!"
The leading man snorted coldly, stopped all the distracting thoughts in their hearts, and said in a deep voice: "Even if you have anything to say, keep it to yourself. If anyone dares to ruin the important matter of the Lord Commander, I will treat you like just now Both women sank into the river."
"Yes, boss!"
Faced with such a severe scolding, everyone was trembling and did not dare to say a word.
Seeing this, the man's indifferent tone couldn't help but soften a bit: "Don't have any resentment in your heart. When the great things of leadership are accomplished, the benefits will be indispensable to you. Do you really want to guard the city gate here every night? Don't you want to be here?" Looking for a comfortable position in the city lord’s palace?”
"But, isn't this something that the young city lord has decided..."
"Haha, who can say for sure?"
! ! !
Everyone's scalp was numb on the spot. After all the words were said, who else didn't understand what might have happened tonight.
Liu Tong leads Liu Xiaowei, is he planning to rebel?
Everyone was worried and did not dare to think too deeply. Will Luoxia City be turned upside down in just one night?
However, when they organized their thoughts and mentality and returned to the city gate to continue standing guard, they suddenly all froze in place.
"Where are the people...the people? Where are the other people left behind?"
"Shouldn't there be half of them left on duty? Why did they suddenly disappear?"
"Or are you just lazy and sleeping?"
The four or five people who came back looked at each other, confused by the situation in front of them.
"Wherever you guys are fooling around, come out!"
The leading man was a little uneasy and shouted loudly on the spot, but the expected figure did not appear. Instead, there were steady and clear footsteps behind him.
"You... give me... ah!"
The man was so angry that he turned around and wanted to teach him a lesson.
It's really embarrassing to dare to be so sneaky and undisciplined.
Then, as soon as he turned around and said a few words, a pitch-black spear flew over at high speed, pierced into his chest, and then flew out with him, and was killed with a roar. Nailed on the solid city wall.
The painful wailing looked particularly frightening in the night, and there were drops of scarlet blood rolling down from the end of the gently trembling gun handle, which made other people's hair stand on end.
"you you……"
"Young...Young City Lord..."
"Meet...meet the Young City Lord..."
Seeing such a brutal scene with their own eyes, the remaining people had no intention of resisting at all. Regardless of whether they were brave or not, regardless of whether they were strong-willed or not, they all knelt on the ground in a series of thumps, trembling, and kowtowed repeatedly. .
Qin Niyu secretly looked at Su Xinhong with her peripheral vision, and saw that his face was cold and emotionless without any change, so she could only sigh in her heart.
This behavior makes him truly a tyrant!
Why was she so unlucky that she fell into his hands?
"Who can tell me what happened? How many things are you hiding from me?"
The man hanging on the city wall still screamed in pain, which made the people who heard it feel hairy in their hearts, but Su Xinhong's indifferent voice made them tremble like they had fallen into an ice cellar.
"To tell you, Young City Master, we really don't know anything. We are just following Commander Liu's orders."
"Then let's talk about what he did when he left the city this time. You should be the people he sent back, right?"
Su Xinhong still cared about this. He clearly arranged for Liu Xu to get rid of the ferocious tiger. Liu Xu also completed the task and the system rewards were distributed. How could he still have the heart to do such a thing?
"this……"
Several city guards glanced at each other, and without much hesitation, they began to talk in a few words.
"To tell you, Young City Master, we were ordered to go to the mountains nine days ago to search for the vicious tiger that hurt people."
"On the first day, traces of the ferocious tiger were discovered. On the second day, the ferocious tiger had fallen into the trap set by the commander and was unable to escape."
Caught the next day?
Su Xinhong frowned. This didn't mean that the task could be completed eight days ago, but he deliberately refused to kill him and was delayed until two or three days ago. What happened during this period?
"We don't know very well, but Commander Liu refused to kill the tiger. He said he wanted to see if there were any other ferocious beasts left, so he could use it as bait to catch them all. But he waited for several days and found nothing."
"When we were in the mountains, Commander Liu often asked us to stay in the camp, but he went out alone. We don't know what he did?"
"By the way, Commander Liu seemed to be very knowledgeable during this period. He led us to kill a lot of game, dug several spiritual grasses, and picked up more than ten spiritual stones. He was like a prophet who knew everything. It’s crystal clear.”
Su Xinhong and Qin Niyu fell into silence for a while. Isn't this ability a bit...
Um!
He suddenly thought of something, and turned to the man who was pinned to the wall with no air coming in. He raised his hand and grabbed it from the air, and a brocade bag made of linen flew out of his arms.
Su Xinhong opened the kit, and inside was a piece of paper that had been folded several times.
"Hey, what is this, let me see?"
Upon seeing this, Qin Niyu quickly came over curiously and stood on tiptoe to watch.
The note read:
[The day after you go back and report, the Young City Master will arrest a girl and bring her back.
In the evening, I first sent a maid to tell me that the situation here was critical and to transfer the young lady.
Then, late at night, someone would be sent to untie the girl and guide her to the young city lord's residence. She would take action with anger and send the young city lord on his way. 】
Su Xinhong: "..."
Qin Niyu: "!!!"
