A shrill scream was heard, and everyone who heard it felt their eyes hurt as well.
Chengfeng stood in front of Qi Changyi, preventing him from seeing the bloody scene.
All the other dignitaries present stood up and looked at the situation in shock.
Li Wuyan watched the porcelain piece pass across Master Sun's eyeball and closed his eyes in shock.
Pei Zheng withdrew his hand, threw away the porcelain pieces on his hand, and wiped his fingers slowly.
Master Sun fainted from the pain after only a few screams, and was then carried away by someone.
"What kind of logic is this! How can you hurt someone like this for no reason? Is there any law?"
Someone sitting below said this, and was immediately supported by other dignitaries. Some of the bolder ones even shouted at Li Wu to call the guards in to ensure their safety.
Before the man could finish his words, a palm gust easily shattered the wine glass on his table and cut his cheek.
"If you shout any more, no one will be able to guarantee your safety."
Everyone immediately fell silent, but their eyes were still looking at Li Wu, their gazes full of help, hoping that Li Wu could help them vent their anger and not let an outsider be so arrogant.
Li Wu gritted his teeth and ordered the person next to him, "Call the people in, go quickly!"
Unfortunately, the guards who were originally surrounding the ancient building had already been cleared out by Chengfeng.
When Li Wu found out, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Pei Zheng had already walked back to his seat and sat down. He was holding a glass of wine and talking to Qi Changyi next to him. He didn't take other people seriously at all.
"Master Li," Pei Zheng suddenly said, "The entrance fee that Master Sun mentioned just now should be returned this morning. Also, order the city gates to be opened and all refugees at the gates to enter the city tonight."
Li Wudao said, "I'm afraid Master Pei doesn't know this. There is no place left in Anli City to accommodate refugees. If we allow so many people to enter,
Come, there is really no place to arrange it. Besides, I hope Lord Pei can reconsider the issue of the entrance fee."
Others followed suit.
"That's right, if you say you don't want to charge, then you don't have to charge. Then all kinds of people are crowding into our city. Where should we go?"
Listening to these discussions, Qi Changyi took the initiative to grab Pei Zheng's hand.
Pei Zheng's brows softened a little. He said nothing, but just glanced at Cheng Feng beside him.
Chengfeng nodded, and quickly flashed to Li Wu's side. He drew his sword and pressed it against Li Wu's neck mercilessly.
Li Wu was so frightened that his eyes widened, and he stood trembling in the middle, ordering others not to speak.
The room immediately became quiet.
Pei Zheng was still sitting there, looking very leisurely, but his long fingers under the table had already pinched the little hand and were gently kneading and playing with it.
"Okay, now it's Lord Li's turn to consider. If you can't do what you just did, then..."
Chengfeng thrust his sword forward, cutting Li Wu's neck and causing a little blood to flow out.
Since there is no point in reasoning with this group of people, then well, Pei Zheng is not used to reasoning with others.
Li Wu was already frightened by this scene. He had just witnessed Pei Zheng blinding Master Sun. So even if he cut his throat now, it would only take a blink of an eye.
"I, I agree, Master Pei, please ask him to put the sword away first! Everything can be discussed, and you can propose any conditions. My words are final for Anli City!"
"Since Lord Li has said this, please write down a document so that we can keep it as evidence."
Li Wudao, "Stand up! Stand up! Hurry up, stand up now!"
The other minor officials and dignitaries looked at Li Wu hesitantly, then reluctantly took out paper and pen and wrote a document, not only returning all the entry fees collected, but also immediately opening the city gates, inviting all refugees into the city and settling them down properly.
After writing, Pei Zheng added calmly, "Everyone press the fingerprint, cut the palm of the hand, and press with blood."
As a result, everyone present had to cut their palms and leave bloody handprints.
The document was carefully brought to Pei Zheng. Pei Zheng raised his chin to Qi Changyi beside him and said, "Here."
Qi Changyi wiped his hands, then took the document with both hands, folded it twice, and put it into his arms.
Li Wu broke out in a cold sweat, his body almost stiffened, and asked, "Master Pei, this is fine, right? Can you let me go now?"
Someone nearby seemed to want to rush over and save Li Wu, but unfortunately his skills were too poor and he was kicked away by Chengfeng. The sword shook twice and cut another bloody mark on Li Wu's neck.
Li Wu screamed in pain, "Don't come over here! No one should come over here! Everything is up to Master Pei!"
Only then did the others dare not act rashly again.
Pei Zheng stood up, then reached out and pulled Qi Changyi up.
"Let's go and open the city gate."
No one expected that Pei Zheng would come in person to watch the city gate open.
Everyone followed them to the gate of the city wall. Li Wu had been tied up tightly by Chengfeng, and was carried along with a sword at his neck.
After arriving at the city gate, Pei Zheng took Qi Changyi to stand on the high city wall. Looking out, they could see the refugees lying and sleeping on the ground outside.
After the city gate was opened, no one dared to come in at first, until some brave people rushed in and found that not only were they not charged any fees, they would also be arranged to sleep on the next street or in a house, and they would be given quilts and dry food. All of this was much better than freezing outside, and they felt much safer than outside.
The crowd began to rush towards the city gate. After they entered the city gate, they hugged each other and cried with joy. They finally had a "home" again.
When someone saw the two people standing on the high city wall and knew that they were the ones who gave the order to open the city gate, they all knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the two people, and then stood up and walked into the city.
Batches of refugees entered the city safely. In fact, Anli City could even accommodate several thousand more refugees.
The wind on the city wall was quite strong, and Qi Changyi's nose was blown red.
"That's great. Now that everyone is inside, we're all safe, right? Nothing will happen again, right?"
Qi Changyi looked at Pei Zheng, his eyes sparkling with stars.
Pei Zheng wanted to tell him that it was not the case. This high city wall might be able to resist temporary war, but it was not always safe.
But he was afraid that the little man would suffer another blow, so he did not say it out loud, but rubbed his cheek.
"Why is it so cold? Are you feeling cold? Let's go downstairs."
Pei Zheng then led Qi Changyi down to the city wall. Qi Changyi was led away obediently, but was dissatisfied that Pei Zheng did not answer his questions.
"Is that true or not? Why are you ignoring me?"
Pei Zheng suddenly stopped, turned around, and hugged the little person in front of him into his arms.
"Because I said I wouldn't lie to you, but I don't want to make you sad anymore."
Pei Zheng tightened his arms again and felt that the little guy's toes were off the ground because of the hug he was holding.
"Ahem"
Two coughs were heard in the dark. It was not Chengfeng who came from there, but the tied-up Li Wu.
Li Wu accidentally saw two people hugging each other. He didn't know where to put his embarrassed eyes, so he could only pretend to cough twice, hoping that the two people could restrain themselves.
Qi Changyi was indeed frightened and his body trembled twice. Then he came to his senses and tried to break free from Pei Zhenghuai.
After Pei Zheng found out, he glanced over with cold eyes and looked at Li Wu from a distance. Li Wu almost thought that he wanted Chengfeng to kill him to silence him.
The little person in his arms finally broke free. Pei Zheng's face turned ugly, but he still held Qi Changyi's hand and didn't say anything.
After getting down the city wall, there were many people waiting below, including some guards with weapons, ready to come forward and rescue Li Wu at any time.
Cheng Feng led Li Wu in front and said, "Let them all retreat, or I will give you a few more strokes."
Li Wu quickly ordered all the guards to retreat and no one was allowed to stop them.
The guards of Anli City were originally soft-hearted people with no blood, so they all retreated obediently.
So Chengfeng took Li Wu as a shield, and Pei Zheng and Qi Changyi followed behind leisurely. They returned to their previous residence smoothly.
After Chengfeng threw Li Wu into the room, he went around to check for news at any time.
Pei Zheng and Qi Changyi followed suit and walked into the room. Li Wu's hands and feet were tied tightly and he huddled in a corner of the room.
As soon as he came back, Pei Zheng sat down at the table, poured a cup of tea and put it aside, then said nothing.
Qi Changyi noticed that something was wrong with him, but he didn't know what was going on, so he also made a "卩恒" sound, then walked to the bed and lay down on it with great care.
The room was very quiet for a while. Li Wu in the corner secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no embarrassing scenes occurred.
But the next moment, he no longer thought so, because the person sitting at the table had gone to the bedside without him noticing.
Qi Changyi had his eyes closed, but when he opened them, a person appeared in front of him. He was startled and exclaimed in a low voice.
But to Pei Zheng's ears it sounded like a startled kitten, a soft and delicate sound that trembled in his heart.
"I'm angry, and you won't come to comfort me?"
Pei Zheng's voice was very low and a little hoarse, and his eyes wandered around the face, neck, collarbone, waist and other parts of the person under him.
Qi Changyi was confused, "Were you angry just now? Why were you angry? Did anyone provoke you?"
Pei Zheng grabbed his wrist and squeezed it, such a thin circle, then put it close to his ear.
"My heart is troubled."
