He has stood in the world for decades. Although he has done many things that are against morality, Qiu Moyuan's ultimate goal in those years of life and death is just to allow Yunzhong City to gain a good foothold in the world.
So many orphans living in Yunzhong City may have witnessed his unbearable past.
When the wedding was held in Yunzhong City, he also received an invitation from Ranchen. He had already decided to leave all the right and wrong and had no intention of joining in the fun, but in the end he still couldn't bear to part with these children who followed him into Yunzhong City. They decided to go to Yunzhong City.
But in just a few days, Yunzhong City has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The day Qiu Moyuan decided to set off for Yunzhong City, the sky was very bright, and the water of the Yellow River rarely became much clearer.
It was such a sunny day, but he suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart. The next moment, Xian Lin hurried in, but his suspicion was confirmed.
Hearing about the changes in Yunzhong City, he exclaimed in surprise.
"Mr. Qiu, this matter must be related to the imperial court, right?" However, no news came back from the people who held altars in various parts of the city. In just a few days, most of the places where the altars were held had been monitored overtly and covertly by the imperial army.
At the beginning, Yunzhong City had reached an agreement with the imperial court. Yunzhong City would check and balance the forces of the world for the imperial court, and the imperial court would also become the most powerful backing for Yunzhong City. To show its sincerity, it even gave an iron certificate of alchemy, but now the Holy Lord, Are you going to throw away the iron coupons and swords given by the late emperor and destroy Yunzhong City?
Qiu Moyuan suddenly trembled a little. Did he make a mistake in pushing Ranchen to that position?
"Mr. Qiu, what should we do now?"
Ranchen and his five companions could be said to have been brought up under Xianlin's single-handed care. At this time, their safety also worried him.
"Let's rush back first. Ranchen will not be unprepared."
"yes."
If the current Holy General ignores the agreement between Yunzhong City and the late emperor, then Ranchen...
Qiu Moyuan didn't dare to think about it carefully.
Hope everything comes in time.
Two horses galloped on the forest road.
But what he didn't know was that everything had changed too much in the years since he was gone.
In fact, he and Xiao Yanjing are no different. Their original intention was to protect their own people, but in order to achieve this goal, they sometimes used some extraordinary means, and under these means, someone was destined to do it. sacrifice.
The Jianghu is a scary place, but the court is not such a place.
It's daylight again.
There was another commotion in Yunzhong City.
The people in the city had only let go of their worries for a few days, but they raised their concerns again.
The cold-faced deputy general appeared at the city gate again, and behind him were five suspects escorted by the Xuanwei Army.
There was an uproar in the crowd.
Because they discovered that today's five suspects were completely different people from yesterday.
Their family members were crying heartbrokenly and wanted to rush forward, but were indifferently blocked by soldiers holding long guns. The suspects who saw their family members were also shaking their arms desperately, trying to break away, but where could they? The opponent of a soldier could only make a buzzing sound with his mouth blocked by a cloth.
Sun Tian glanced at the restless people and said calmly: "General, in order to ensure the safety of the people here, we will not let anyone with suspicion go. If they are really innocent, the general will not unjustly accuse anyone." Alone, they will be able to go home safe and sound."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him received the order and almost dragged the five suspects towards the pillar outside the city.
They were just ordinary people, but they were pushed up to high pillars by expressionless soldiers. Hemp ropes as thick as arms tightly wrapped them around each other. It was just a matter of a cup of tea. The top of their head was poisonous. The bright sunshine had already scorched them so much that they were shivering.
The intense pain continued to tear apart, almost turning a person's heart into powder.
Everyone was trembling with anger after hearing the news that Zhao Qitan had returned.
Nan Liluo and Mo Ningyi even wanted to rush out on the spot, but luckily they were stopped by Nan Liyu.
"As a general, Gongsun He was able to be so cruel to the helpless people." Although Wen Jirou has always claimed to be ruthless, he has never harmed the lives of truly innocent people in such a long time. , Gongsun He's actions now also allowed him to see once again how cruel the monarch he once served was.
He didn't believe that Gongsun He would have done such a thing without the Holy Spirit's tacit approval.
"He just wants to force us to show up," Ranchen said, "We can't hide any longer."
"I agree with you, but we can't show up so rashly. Even with our martial arts skills, can we ever be worth the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Xuanwei Army?"
"Do you have any countermeasures?"
After hearing Wen Jirou's words, Nan Liluo knew that he had been impulsive again just now. Although their skills were hard to match in the martial arts world, the Xuanwei Army was a well-trained army, and they rushed in so recklessly. It's like hitting an egg against a stone.
"To shoot a man, shoot a horse first; to capture a thief, capture the king first."
That day, outside Yunzhong City, it was still silent until sunset.
Gongsun He still didn't wait for the person he wanted to wait on the city wall.
But Sun Tian couldn't help it anymore: "General, does this method really work? I'm afraid if this continues, the people in the city will rebel before Ranchen."
Gongsun He seemed to have recovered from his long trance. In fact, he had begun to feel panic and uneasiness in his heart. It had been two full days. With the current weather, being exposed to the sun for one day would almost be enough. It was said that half of his life was lost. If this Ran Chen was really as kind as the legendary heart, why could he watch them suffer such torture for two whole days without making a move?
If this is the case, then does this move have no effect?
If this leads to complaints from the people, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
"General?" Seeing that there was no response, Sun Tian called Gongsun He again.
"Shh," he suddenly raised his middle finger, signaling to the people around him to be quiet. He closed his eyes and thought for a while, as if there was time for a cup of tea. "We will continue tomorrow. If no one shows up tomorrow, we will find out who has no parents or relatives there. Take the head and display it outside the city gate."
Sun Tian did not feel the slightest surprise when he heard Gongsun He's instructions. He just made a gesture to accept the order and retreated.
After a long time, Gongsun He finally stood up from the bench.
But at night, he regretted it.
During the hours when he kidnapped people and put them in public every day, he dispatched the most elite troops of the Xuanwei Army to prevent anyone from showing up. He knew very well the cunningness of these martial arts masters.
But after all, he is still a military commander. He only has experience in fighting with enemy armies, but he does not know that late at night is the most difficult time to guard against martial arts masters.
Black shadows passed over the glazed roof one after another without making a sound.
In the middle of the night, those pale pink eyes looked extremely eye-catching.
"You go get the Ji Shi Dao, and I'll go find Gongsun He."
Nan Liyu grabbed Wen Jirou's arm: "You have to be careful, I will come over to help you after I take the Jishi knife."
"Don't worry," Wen Jirou patted Nan Liyu's arm, "I met Gongsun He a few times when I was still in the palace. Although he won some good reputations on the battlefield in his early years, he was a mediocre person in the end. Senior, I can handle it."
He supported the tiles with both hands, but looked at the soldiers patrolling below: "Only if we capture him can we let him send a message to Xiao Yanjing for us. This situation can only be resolved with him." .”
After saying that, he took advantage of his hands and jumped up, heading towards the opposite roof.
