The green-clothed swordsman froze; he could actually tell where he came from and where he was coming from... Was this considered a half-threat
"I wonder if you would accept Mr. Guo's apology?" Guo Yan's eyes were sharp.
Chapter 10: If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to say, just do it.
"I wonder if you would accept Mr. Guo's apology?" Guo Yan's eyes were sharp.
"I..." The green-clothed swordsman opened his mouth but no words came out.
The city lord Guo Yan didn't say anything, but just waved his hand. Then the crowd of soldiers surrounding the long street parted, and two soldiers came over with a beautiful woman.
"Jiang Lang..." The beautiful woman lowered her head, feeling extremely ashamed. She had never expected things to turn out to this point.
Obviously, the beautiful woman did not escape too far. She was discovered by the soldiers under the city lord and was brought back.
This Yan City is the territory of the city lord Guo Yan.
Even if we let them run, they would find it difficult to get out of the city.
"It's all a misunderstanding." Guo Yan said solemnly:
"But fortunately, the young man and his wife were not seriously injured."
"I will give you one hundred taels of silver as compensation. Can you two forgive my son's rudeness this time?" Guo Yan said solemnly.
The green-clothed swordsman couple looked at each other and saw a kind of helplessness in each other's eyes.
The city lord Guo Yan behaves very differently from his son.
It's not only showing off one's fists, but also trying to build relationships.
On the surface, Guo Yan, as the lord of a city, was willing to apologize to them, which was already very respectful.
This was pretty much the best outcome they could have expected.
Then they could only nod.
"You are too polite, City Lord. Actually, when my husband and I first entered Yan City, we were a little reckless..." said the green-clothed swordsman.
Seeing the blue-clothed swordsman finally lower his head, the people around him finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that this matter should end here with mutual apologies from both parties.
"After getting into this kind of thing, this is the final outcome. Being targeted by the city lord's son, I am lucky enough to not lose my life or my innocence."
"I thought both the couple would die here, but I didn't expect the result to be so bad."
"That's good. Let's keep things quiet. Less trouble is worse than more."
At this point, the originally tense atmosphere has gradually eased.
Even the city lord Guo Yan, who had always had a gloomy face, relaxed a little. He immediately turned his head and looked at Qiao Mu.
In fact, as a city lord, he had seen young and inexperienced people like Qiao Mu before.
So after the two sides met, Guo Yan, who was the lord of a city, lowered his posture and apologized sincerely, eliminating any possibility of angering Qiao Mu, and then placed the breakthrough point on the green-clothed swordsman couple.
Until now.
The meaning in his eyes was very clear.
Both he and the Green-Clothed Swordsman have reached a settlement and apologized to each other. What about you, a passerby
Is it necessary to hold his son captive
"Lord City Lord, I only have one question to ask." Qiao Mu had been watching quietly from the side without interrupting. He only asked quietly at this time:
"May I ask, can a broken mirror be put back together?"
The words fell with a loud sound.
This question echoed far along the long street.
The green-clothed swordsman's expression gradually changed from gentle to confused, and he couldn't help but look back at the beautiful woman beside him.
But in my mind, I was recalling the scene where the other party just left.
He also knew in his heart that it was impossible for him and his wife to pretend that nothing had happened.
Can a broken mirror be mended
Under this question.
The false harmony just created by the city lord was instantly shattered.
The reconciliation just now was just an apology between the two people with the city lord Guo Yanqiang holding their heads down.
But for weak people like him, this is already the best outcome.
It's good enough that we can calm down the situation peacefully.
But Qiumu tore off this fig leaf and let them see the bloody reality.
Did he really want to reconcile and pretend nothing happened
Of course not. But he couldn't say it, and didn't dare to say it.
"Guo Yan!" Qiao Mu grabbed Master Guo's neck with one hand and shouted:
"You think that as the mayor of the city, you can just pay some money, bow your head and apologize, and the matter will be over, right? This is just a one-sided settlement from you, right?"
The green-clothed swordsman's eyes moved slightly and his fists clenched unconsciously.
Even he, the person involved, was forced to nod and agree to a settlement, but Qiao Mu, an unrelated passerby, dared to directly scold the city lord and express what he dared not say
The green-clothed swordsman secretly clenched his fists, feeling inexplicably ashamed: this young hero is truly chivalrous and courageous. He is clearly just a warrior in the training stage, not as strong as me.
Qiao Mu continued, "The swordsman and his wife were able to escape death and were not sent to the palace as slaves today because of a nosy passerby like me!"
"But what about before that? Your son has a reputation as a playboy. It's not the first time that he has let his guards whip people to clear the way and robbed people in the street."
Qiao Mu pointed under his feet and saw that the long street paved with bluestone slabs was still stained with blood.
When Mr. Guo was paraded through the streets, he always had servants and guards holding whips to clear the way. Anyone who came close to him, regardless of gender, age or status, would be whipped. The bloodstains are still there.
The whipping of the warrior servants is not just a simple blow that tears the skin and flesh, it is a force that can break bones and send the whole person flying.
Some people who were physically weak were beaten to death on the spot.
"Guo Yan, have you reconciled with the swordsman and his wife? Have you also asked about the countless people who have suffered physical pain, or even lost their families and become slaves because of you and your son over the years?" Qiao Mu shouted sternly.
The sound fell on the long street, causing a commotion among the crowd on the street, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Qiao Mu.
Apart from anything else, many of them had just been whipped by Master Guo's servants, and there were still whip marks on their bodies.
When a passerby spoke up for justice and expressed what they dared not to say, how could they not be touched
No one is born knowing that they have to accept what is given to them, it's just that they are unable to resist.
The city lord Guo Yan remained silent for a long time.
This time, Qiao Mu wanted him to apologize to all the people his son had bullied over the years
But how is this possible
Even if he wanted to, he couldn't count how many people his son had bullied.
It took him a long time to speak:
"My dear, I did apologize when you asked me to. You might as well tell me what it takes for me to let my son go."
Qiao Mu became excited when he heard this.
Good guy, if you had asked this earlier, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble with you.
"If you want me to let him go, it's easy." Qiao Mu said firmly:
"Unless I die!"
All he wanted was death!
The ability of immortality allows Qiumu to not fear life or death.
If you have something to say, say it. If you have something to say, do it. There is no need to weigh the pros and cons, no need to measure the gains and losses, and no need to care about whether you offend the powerful.
He was not just trying to gain a temporary advantage by talking.
Bad words can't save people, they can only make victims like the Green-Clothed Swordsman feel happy for a moment.
Cursing the city lord will not change the current situation.
Actions speak louder than words, and fists are more powerful than reason.
As long as the city lord kills him in the street like this, Qiao Mu can transform himself into a big daddy and come back to take revenge personally by smashing their heads off!
Chapter 11 The Correct Way to Open the Gold Finger
"Unless I die!" Qiao Mu's true intentions were revealed.
The more spectacular your death, the higher your death evaluation will be, and the stronger you will be after your resurrection!
He wished he could die at the hands of this city lord right now.
However, in the eyes of everyone, these words and actions seemed like a person who had put life and death aside.
"A stranger whose name is unknown would actually speak up for the swordsman couple and even risk his life?"
Everyone was in awe.
Only the city lord Guo Yan sighed slightly:
"It seems that we have nothing to talk about."
The moment he sighed, a gray figure appeared behind Qiumu.
Qiao Mu only heard the sound of wind behind his ears, and when he reacted, he felt an irresistible force on his hands.
This was an old man in gray. His arms turned into a shadow, and in an instant he had captured and locked Qiao Mu's hands. And Mr. Guo, who had been held in his hands, finally fell to the ground.
Before that, Qiao Mu took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and subdued Master Guo who was guarding the crowd.
Now, the old man in gray also hid in the crowd. He quietly approached when Qiao Mu was talking to the city lord, and then suddenly attacked.
Qiao Mu used both hands to try to break free, but his hands were fixed and could not move at all, and he had no ability to resist at all.
With a strength of 500 kilograms in his arms, he could easily deal with ordinary people, but it was useless in front of this old man in gray.
"The difference in strength is greater than I thought. What rank is he? I didn't even react just now."
Qiao Mu was not panicked at all, and was even a little secretly happy.
My heart sank, and the Ouroboros longevity lock in my mind kept glowing!
At this moment, he and the city lord Guo Yan had the same thought in their minds.
The outcome has been decided!
This incident happened suddenly and the crowd was in an uproar.
Soon, several guards came forward and several of them helped up Mr. Guo, whose cheek was swollen. Several other soldiers surrounded Qiao Mu with swords in hand.
City Lord Guo Yan also breathed a sigh of relief. If the negotiations had not failed, he would not have been willing to let his subordinates take action secretly. Who knows if there would be any more mistakes
Then he glanced quietly at the faces of the many people around him, but a hint of gloom flashed across his face.
"Boy, what's your name?" He looked down at Qiao Mu who was surrounded by soldiers.
"City Lord Guo is worrying too much." Qiao Mu knew that his death was near, but he laughed out loud, and his voice could be heard from far away:
"My name is Qiao Mu. I am just a nobody without any support or background. City Lord Guo, you can kill me if you want!"
"He is quite courageous." City Lord Guo Yan stepped forward and looked at Qiao Mu carefully, then suddenly said:
"Let him go."
The soldiers were stunned, but naturally did not disobey orders and took a few steps back.
City Lord Guo Yan said solemnly: "Qiao Mu, you are extremely brave and courageous. You are indeed not an ordinary person. If you are interested in joining the army and serving the country, you can report to my Yancheng City Lord's Mansion at any time."
