After Mu Qing and Murong Jing left the inner city, the news that Bai Hao had died spread quickly. Under Chen Zhuo's deliberate propaganda, Bai Hao was described as a devil who devoured flesh and blood for training. Hidden Valley was in this battle. Zhong paid a lot of sacrifices to protect the safety of the people in the inner city.
It is a pity that although the Guards remained silent under the restraint of Xing Fei, the people who withdrew from the inner city believed their own eyes even more. What the Guards did was deviated from the word of mouth. In essence, Xing Fei made a fuss out of a molehill and killed innocent people indiscriminately.
Mu Qing's guess was correct. Bai Hao's death, although there was no killing and quietness in Suzaku City at dusk, was just the beginning of chaos. At least at this moment, people in various forces could only know what to do. But he can really figure out what the other party is doing secretly.
The autumn sun was shining brightly, but at night it became increasingly cooler. Not everyone who had evacuated from the inner city found a place to stay in the outer city. The sky, which had been illuminated by the curtain of fire for most of the day, quickly darkened silently. When we got down, the thought of going home became more and more intense. Many people had already rushed to the city gate in groups. Guards soldiers guarded the city gate. After fending off several groups of people, they finally found Xing Fei's place.
In the military tent, Xing Fei, who was feeding Yan Qing a bowl of soup, heard the footsteps behind him and asked in a deep voice: "What wave is this?"
Lao Qi, who was still wearing a bloody armor, looked a little ugly and responded: "It's already the seventh wave, and what was expected before has also happened. Many people say that you are killing innocent people indiscriminately."
Xing Fei's face was calm, he put down the medicine bowl, stood up and walked out of the military tent. Lao Qi followed him. Xing Fei looked towards the direction of the city lord's palace, and his voice became more serious: "Are you sure he is dead?"
Lao Qi followed his gaze and whispered: "After getting the news, I have found someone to confirm to Mrs. Wang that Mu Qing killed the city lord."
"Huh~" Xing Fei exhaled heavily, looked at Lao Qi, and there was a rare hint of relaxation on his face that had been stiff for a long time, and said: "Then we only need to do two things."
When Lao Qi heard this, he stood up straighter. Xing Fei patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be so nervous. I told you before, so the first thing is to set up camp for the brothers. The second thing is Well, you lead a team of elite troops and walk through the tunnel of Baita Temple. If Ge Shan is not dead, the road is probably still down there."
"This..." Lao Qi subconsciously looked towards the night sky in a certain direction, where there was no longer the pure white spire in the night, and asked: "Xiong San has led a thousand brothers, and he has not found his second brother. It is time to come back." Well, is there something wrong?"
Xing Fei nodded solemnly. In the chaos, the whereabouts of a thousand people seemed inconspicuous compared to the hundreds of thousands. However, because Xing Fei was concerned about the safety of Geshan, he did not forget the thousand people Xiong San. , said: "Xiong San took with him a thousand elites. The best result is that they have reunited with Geshan, but by this time not even a messenger has returned. The possibility of something happening is even greater."
Lao Qi guessed: "Have you entered some maze by mistake and can't find the direction?"
Xing Fei looked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion. Because of the continuous fire in the afternoon, the night sky there seemed much cleaner, but also because of the clean life, the night had a bit more deep silence.
The worst outcome did not occur. As expected, he received a lot of suspicion and abuse. Xing Fei was also happy for the surviving people. He believed that his judgment was not affected, but he also understood that the uneasiness in his heart at this time was more like a Intuition, so he just looked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion and fell silent.
Lao Qi thought for a while and frowned and asked, "Could it be that the elder brother thought there was still danger similar to that in the afternoon, so he never opened the city gate to let the people in?"
Xing Fei shook his head and said: "This is my intuition, so I asked you to find out the truth. Once the whereabouts of Xiong San and the others are determined, it is the safest plan to let them into the city."
Lao Qi took the order and left. Xing Fei didn't rest for a moment and asked people to carry several boxes of gold and silver collected to the south gate.
Under the misty night, the people gathered together looked like a high slope stretching out. Xing Fei looked around and his heart condensed slightly. He did not expect that there were tens of thousands of people outside the city gate at this time. Seeing them at the city gate The people who suddenly became noisy after the opening were actually people who wanted to return to the inner city.
The crowds closest to the city gate ran the fastest, and they were also the people who had wanted to enter the city before. They cursed Xing Fei as a domineering and barbaric bastard general. In the blink of an eye, they rushed ten feet away in front of Xing Fei. He was planning to knock Xing Fei and the others away from the elm knot in front of the city gate, but at this moment, the soldiers behind Xing Fei stretched the lit torch forward.
Under the flickering firelight, Xing Fei's cold face flickered.
Those with angry faces and curses immediately became mute. They wanted to shrink back to the crowd behind them, but were pushed closer and closer to Xing Fei by those who had not seen Xing Fei's face clearly.
These people blushed when they saw the blood stains on Xing Fei's armor and the big gun standing beside him. They didn't care that they were scolding Xing Fei just now. They slapped the people pushing behind them and yelled at their necks. Said: "The commander is here! The commander is here! Stop it quickly."
The people who were originally flowing towards the opened city gate like water suddenly froze in place. Xing Fei looked a little complicated. As a soldier, it was his duty to protect the people in this city, but when he saw this group of people Afraid of him like a tiger, Xing Fei still felt a little tired.
He calmed down his emotions, glanced at the people who shouted loudest, and asked, "You all want to go back to the inner city?"
After a period of impatient silence, someone finally answered: "We have not purchased any property in the outer city, and we have no relatives to join us. It is getting colder and colder after dark. Where should we go?"
Xing Fei said directly: "The danger in the inner city has not been completely cleared up yet. I advise everyone to overcome it."
Seeing that Xing Fei did not kill people as he did in the afternoon, everyone became more courageous. Someone asked: "Lord Commander, I heard that the city lord is dead. Is it going to change the situation in our Suzaku City?"
Xing Fei was silent for a moment, looked at the crowd crowded together under the night, and replied: "The city lord is indeed killing innocent people indiscriminately for the sake of cultivation, but it is not clear whether his current situation is life or death."
Bai Hao has been the city lord for so many years. He has a tough approach and a mentality that treats the people under his rule as ants, so the image left to these people is very bad. Bai Hao's life and death are not what they care about. They just want to judge the inner city. How chaotic it was. At this time, Xing Fei received a positive reply. At one time, more than half of the people took the initiative to disperse into the distant night.
Xing Fei watched this scene in silence, but there was a trace of sympathy and sadness for these people in his heart.
In a chaotic situation where even he didn't fully understand the situation, how much could these people know, and how many of them were acting numbly and without thinking?
He wanted to tell these people more truth, such as the source of danger in the inner city underground, but he was afraid that it would cause greater panic. He could only say in a deep voice: "I, Xing Fei, am not a person who kills indiscriminately. There will be chaos in the inner city next." In the past period of time, I hope everyone can understand that at this time, only surviving is the most important thing."
