Twenty sounds were heard continuously from far to near. At this moment, Hu Xing was stunned. The fact that he could not believe was before his eyes. All the forbidden troops were in trouble almost at the same time.
Ping An's face remained as usual, as if he had anticipated all this, and said calmly
"If you, your Excellency, want to fight to the death to break through, we will try our best to block it. However, I still want to advise you, everyone is their own master. There is no need to meet each other."
Hu Xing looked at the officers and soldiers around him who were several times his own, and swallowed hard.
The only street that was not affected by the Chuanfeng Camp officers and soldiers was Taiyang Road, which was blocked last night.
There was no other reason. Since early in the morning, a swordsman in white had been standing on the street with a sword. Just like this, the thousands of officers and soldiers of Chuanfeng Camp in the distance felt as if they were facing a powerful enemy. They only dared to watch from afar, hesitating. forward.
And this swordsman in white is naturally Wan Chaoyang, now the only grandmaster in Taiyang City.
He alone is far more powerful than a thousand armies.
Wan Chaoyang stood calmly on the spot, seemingly not caring about the thousands of well-equipped officers and soldiers.
He stretched out and rubbed his eyes, as if he hadn't completely woken up yet.
"Since I came to the capital, I haven't had a good look around. This is really not cool."
He was bored and could only talk to himself.
Not far behind, several forbidden soldiers came over. It was Qin Wuyi and others who came to Taiyang Road for help last night and were poisoned. After a night of conditioning, the toxins in their bodies were almost eliminated.
"Master Wan."
Qin Wuyi and others greeted Wan Chaoyang with fists in their hands.
"I'll wait for a while for Master Wan."
Wan Chaoyang looked at a few people, then at the officers and soldiers in the distance, and said
"It's not that I don't want to be lazy, you really can't intimidate that group of people."
Qin Wuyi and others looked a little embarrassed
"We can't repay the ghost doctor for saving his life. Now that we are facing a formidable enemy, we would be ashamed if we didn't do our part."
However, Wan Chaoyang's expression changed, and Qin Wuyi and others felt the internal energy rushing toward them like waves.
"somebody is coming!"
Qin Wuyi and others were stunned. They didn't feel anything yet, but Wan Chaoyang could detect someone approaching, and they were even more impressed.
After half a stick of incense, a young man appeared in everyone's sight.
It was Xiao Zhong who came to the City Lord's Mansion alone after failing to go to Lu's Xiao Long Bao.
Xiao Zhong was shocked when he saw the intimidating momentum of the two groups of people on Taiyang Road. He still didn't know what happened, and he was even more confused at this moment.
Wan Chaoyang looked at Xiao Zhong, frowned, and after a moment, he withdrew his surging internal energy.
"Who did I think it was? It turned out to be a little baby."
Qin Wuyi said
"Master Wan, do you want to drive him away?"
Wan Chaoyang thought for a while
"That's fine. This place is so dangerous. If ordinary people come here, they may die unexpectedly. Just drive them away. Don't hurt anyone."
When Qin Wuyi and others received the mission, they immediately became energetic. These tall and sturdy men, wearing armor, walked toward Xiao Zhong with great momentum.
Xiao Zhong was so frightened that his legs became weak and he almost fell to the ground.
"Who are you...?"
Qin Wuyi deliberately put on a vicious face
"Boy, this is not a place to play house. Go home and nurse!"
Xiao Zhong's face turned pale when Qin Wuyi shouted at him, but he was not really weak and held himself up with all his strength.
"I came to see the Lord of the City to tell you something important."
Qin Wuyi was a little impatient
"City Lord, you can see me whenever you want. Go back quickly."
Xiao Zhong looked a little better now. He slowly took out a token from his arms and held it up in front of Qin Wuyi.
"The Lord of the City said I can see her at any time."
When Qin Wuyi saw the token, he felt like he was dead. He naturally recognized the token. The token was clearly engraved with the word "Red Flower". This was given by the Human Emperor himself when he bestowed the title of Lord of Honghua City. City Lord's Order to the City Lord.
Logically speaking, it should be in the hands of the city lord, but how could it be in the hands of this young man.
Qin Wuyi and others immediately knelt down. When Xiao Zhong saw this, he was surprised when he looked at the token in his hand.
"The token Chang Sheng gave me is so useful..." The greedy girl who came here was standing at such an unreachable height.
Xiao Zhong was still dazed, but he saw the swordsman in white not far ahead, with fluttering clothes and an unruly look.
But for some reason, a biting chill arose in his heart. When he accidentally met the eyes of the swordsman in white, his whole body seemed to be cut in half by an invisible blade.
He looked at the officers and soldiers in the distance again, and was suddenly horrified. How could these thousands of officers and soldiers be so forced by this man that they dared not take a step beyond his reach?
Wan Chaoyang glanced casually and saw the boy looking at him, and immediately smiled. He also saw the token in the boy's hand. Although he didn't know the details, he thought it was related to Chang Sheng. Now, he was not good either. Then drove people away.
The two passed by each other, but Xiao Zhong's face turned pale, and an indescribable feeling grew in his heart.
Is this the oppressive feeling of a martial arts master mentioned in the play?
Xiao Zhong thought that as an ordinary person, the dangerous aura emanating from the white-clothed swordsman was so overwhelming that he couldn't breathe.
It wasn't until he was several feet away from Wan Chaoyang that Xiao Zhong felt that he was gradually returning to normal. He turned back and took a deep look at the swordsman in white, his eyes full of awe.
"You're here again."
Every time he sees Xiao Taohua, Xiao Zhong feels that she always has a smile on her lips.
"Is Chang Sheng here?"
"What do you want from the city lord?"
"There is something important, and it may have something to do with the strange things that happened in the city recently."
Little Taohua pondered for a while and said
"Okay, I'll take you to see the city lord."
According to Chang Sheng, as long as he holds her token, he can see her directly without notification, but Xiao Zhong has never used that token, because in his opinion, this token It was given by Chang Sheng. In his opinion, it was a token of love, and tokens of love could not be taken out at will.
Chang Sheng was very anxious now. Yan Sihai didn't return all night, and something might have happened. The Jianghu people sent out to find out the news circled outside the palace gate for a long time, but they couldn't find any news.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the main hall, and Chang Sheng suddenly became happy, thinking that it was Yan Sihai who was back.
"Old Yan!"
But it was not Yan Sihai who came, but Xiao Taohua leading Xiao Zhong.
"Little clock?"
Chang Sheng was a little surprised and didn't know why he came.
Little Peach Blossom Road
"City Lord, this guy said he had something important to discuss with you, so I brought him in."
Chang Sheng nodded.
"You go down."
When Xiao Zhong sat down, Chang Sheng asked
"Xiao Zhong, have you encountered any difficulties?"
Xiao Zhong shook his head
"We have encountered strange things in the past two days. I thought there was no need to tell you these little things, but yesterday I saw that there seemed to be some trouble in the city, so I thought that this information might be of some use to you."
When Chang Sheng heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
:"tell me the story."
Xiao Zhong tried hard to recall what happened in the past two days, organized his thoughts, and then said
"I still remember that I came to see you the day before yesterday, but two strange things happened on the way home. I was attacked by a man in black."
Chang Sheng was shocked
"What! Are you hurt?"
"No, the man in black asked me a very strange question and let me go."
"what is the problem."
"He asked me how many fireworks he wanted for the latest business in my shop. I said I wanted a thousand ten-ring fireworks, totaling ten thousand."
Chang Sheng took a breath, ten thousand rings, this is not a small amount, how can a normal person want so much, and who is the man in black, and why does he care so much about this matter.
Seeing that Chang Sheng didn't speak, Xiao Zhong continued.
"The second thing is that every time I go back to Handicraft Street from here, I always walk along Changming Lake. Shortly after the man in black left, I was shocked, but I heard the sound of falling into the water again from the other side. Come, then I couldn’t help but look to the other side, only to find a pair of eyes with a strange green light!"
Chang Sheng's brain buzzed when he heard the glowing green eyes.
"Are you sure that's a human eye?"
Xiao Zhongdao
"I can't say for sure, but it should be close. Because that section of the river basin is narrow, you can barely see the situation on the other side. The green light is really weird. I couldn't help but take a few more glances. It looked like a person's eyes. , that outline is clearly that of a human being, I still wonder why life is so terrible."
In the lobby, there was a wordless silence. Xiao Zhong looked at Chang Sheng, who was holding a flowerpot in his hand and his lips tightly closed, feeling a little unsure.
Delicate fingers kept clasping the pelvic floor, two willow-leaf-like thin eyebrows were closely pressed together, and a few beads of sweat appeared on Chang Sheng's forehead.
Xiao Zhong didn't dare to disturb her thinking.
After a long time, Chang Sheng breathed a long sigh of relief. The news brought by Xiao Zhong allowed her to finally combine some scattered fragments into a story line.
She said two names lightly
"Lu Ying, Ji Shen...the top priority is to find these two people. Finding these two people is equivalent to finding the key to unlocking the truth."
Xiao Zhong asked
"Are the two people you mentioned the same people I met that night?"
Chang Sheng shook his head
"Probably not. The two of them are defected Imperial Guards. The time when they were poisoned should be after you saw the green-eyed monster, so the green-eyed monster you saw should not be them, but the situation of these two people should be similar to That green-eyed monster agrees.”
"Poisoned? What does this have to do with poisoning?"
Xiao Zhong was a little confused, but then he was awakened by another message from Chang Sheng.
"Two Imperial Guardsmen who defected?"
"What's wrong, have you seen them?"
Xiao Zhong hesitated and said
"I'm not sure, I haven't seen it, but two Forbidden Soldiers visited Sister Wu's shop on the street and stole Sister Wu's wine. Sister Su said that the two were Forbidden Soldiers, and there were unicorn patterns on their armor. At that time Everyone thought those two people were fake imperial guards."
Chang Sheng frowned
"Tell me the details."
Xiao Zhong told Chang Sheng exactly what happened in Wu Qinghui and Su Qinqin's shop these two days.
"It's really strange. If the two Imperial Guardsmen who went to the wine shop were Lu Ying and Ji Shen, then did they just break out of the Nine Heavenly Prison just to steal the wine?"
But even Chang Sheng himself felt that this statement was extremely ridiculous.
"Little bell."
Xiao Zhong looked at Chang Sheng doubtfully.
Chang Sheng stood up
"Please take me to the place where you saw the green-eyed monster that night."
Xiao Zhong nodded.
"good."
