Duan Yan is the lord of Fengjian City, and Zhou He is the commander-in-chief of Fengjian City. They are both high-ranking figures, but in the eyes of Shi Dong and Mu Qing, they are nothing but mediocre. Staring at the two of them, Shi Dong's expressions were extremely cold, and a powerful aura spread around, making all the soldiers outside the Wu Mansion tremble.
A person at the peak of the Divine Vein Realm is no joke!
"Two elders, please calm down for now. We don't mean to offend you." Duan Yan got off his horse and said, "I got news that a disciple of Jiuyang Wufu named Lin Tian killed three of us in Fengjian City on the street today. Generals in the divine vein realm, I think the two elders should understand the seriousness of this matter."
Duan Yan's cultivation level is not weak, he is at the seventh level of divine veins, but compared with Shi Dong and Mu Qing, he is a little inferior. Moreover, although he is the city lord, in terms of status, Shi Dong and Mu Qing are not lower than him. , even higher in a sense. Therefore, in the face of Shi Dong's scolding, Duan Yan did not get angry and seemed very calm.
Seeing Duan Yan dismounting, Zhou He also dismounted and stood quietly aside.
Shi Dong and Mu Qing looked coldly and glanced at Zhou He.
"City Lord Duan, have you ever asked your subordinates why something like this happened today?"
Mu Qing said.
Duan Yan looked a little surprised: "Elder Mu, what do you mean by this?"
Shi Dong's temper was not as good as Mu Qing's. He snorted coldly: "Why, ask him Zhou He yourself!"
Duan Yan was even more surprised. He tilted his head and asked, "Zhou He, what's going on?"
"City Lord, my subordinates also don't know what Elder Shi and Elder Mu mean."
Zhou He shook his head.
Shi Dong stared at Zhou He and said with a cold face: "Zhou He, put away your tricks. What happened today, there is something fishy in it, do you think we won't know? We didn't come to trouble you, you You should be lucky! You actually dare to gather soldiers and come to the gate of Wu Mansion. Do you think Jiuyang Wu Mansion is just a decoration?"
Lin Tian's killing of Chen Ping and the others has spread throughout Fengjian City. Shi Dong and Mu Qing naturally knew about it. Moreover, they even asked Su Shu personally and learned the details of the entire incident. As elders of the Wu Mansion, the two of them are not only powerful in cultivation, but also extremely experienced. How could they not see through the conspiracy
Something like this happened right after Zhou Hao died. No matter how you look at it, there is a big problem in this.
"Naughty? I don't know what you are talking about!" Zhou He said: "Today, three soldiers were ordered to deliver a message of war to me. They were stopped by your martial arts disciple Lin Tian on the street. The three soldiers only scolded a few words and then They were beaten, and Chen Ping and the other two happened to be passing by. After a few words, they were beheaded in the street... "
"Nonsense!" A voice sounded. Behind Mu Qing, Su Shu stood up and glared at Zhou He and said, "It was obviously those three soldiers who deliberately rode their horses towards us. Later, the horses were frightened for no reason and were thrown off their horses. Just because of this , those three people wanted to arrest us, Lin Tian just took action out of legitimate self-defense."
"Coincidentally, as soon as this happened, three generals came with their troops, as if they had planned the time early in the morning. What's even more outrageous is that these three generals ignored us and ordered us to be suppressed! Hmph, this is obvious Some people have ulterior motives and deliberately want to harm others!" At this point, Su Shu changed the topic and said: "By the way, Commander Zhou, not long ago, in a fair life and death battle, your son Zhou Hao died at the hands of Lin Tian. , could what happened today be your conspiracy?"
As soon as Su Shu finished speaking, many people around him changed their expressions and their expressions became weird.
"That commander's son was killed in a life-and-death battle?!"
"Is there such a thing?"
"this… "
"Come to think of it, it's a bit strange when you think about it. It's such a coincidence."
"That's what they say, but there is no evidence. Just speculation is not credible."
Many people were talking about it.
In the distance, Xin Yao and Pu Shi stood among the ordinary people, slightly surprised.
"This little brother Lin Tian is really brave. Before this, he actually killed the commander's son."
Pu Shi smiled bitterly.
Xin Yao's eyes flashed: "This guy is really interesting!"
From the other direction, Qin Luo was sweating on his forehead. He really didn't expect that Lin Tian would actually kill the commander's son!
Duan Yan frowned, looked at Su Shu and said, "Who is this?"
"My disciple."
Mu Qing said.
With that said, Mu Qing pulled Su Shu back behind him.
Duan Yan nodded: "It turns out he is a disciple of Elder Mu." As he said that, Duan Yan tilted his head, looked at Zhou He, and said, "What on earth is going on? Is what this girl said true?"
"Lord City Lord, Zhou is a soldier! He should have the honor of being a soldier!" Zhou He's face was sad, but he straightened his chest: "The child died. As a father, Zhou really wanted to take revenge, but as the girl said, Hao'er was killed in a fair life-and-death battle. Although Zhou hated it, he could only endure it! Zhou swore on the honor of an imperial soldier that what happened today had absolutely nothing to do with Zhou, otherwise, Zhou would not have a good death!"
Zhou He's words were sonorous and powerful, coupled with his sad expression, causing many people to fall silent.
Moreover, after Zhou He finished speaking, three of the thousands of soldiers behind him came out.
"Who are these three people?"
Duan Yan frowned.
The three soldiers knelt down on one knee: "I'm telling you, Lord City Lord, the three of you below are the ones delivering messages for the commander-in-chief."
"Oh? Tell me what happened at that time."
"Yes!" the three of them ordered, and one of them said: "Yesterday, the three of us were ordered to go to the nearby commander-in-chief of Luo Yuecheng to pick up a letter of war and hand it over to the commander-in-chief Zhou. After trekking all night, we finally arrived at Fengjian City this morning. But just On the way to the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion, we were stopped in the middle of the road by a young man who frightened the horses and caused us to fall off our horses... "
"It's okay for the three of us to fall off our horses, but the key point is that the letter of war is broken. Lord City Lord, you also know how important the letter of war is. The three of you were so angry at that time that they subconsciously yelled a few words, not wanting to do that. The man is really fighting, that man is a genius in the martial arts, and the three of us are naturally no match..."
"It happened that at this time, the three generals Chen Ping who often patrolled the streets passed by here and wanted to seek justice for the three of us. But who knew that that man was so strong that he actually killed the three generals." At this point, The three of them shed tears and shouted: "Lord of the City! Lord Commander! Please avenge the three generals!"
Hearing this, everyone around him was moved again.
"this… "
Many people couldn't help but frown.
Su Shu was so angry that he pointed at the three of them and said, "You lied! Twisted the facts!"
"Every word of the three of us is true. If there is even half a lie, we will be punished by heaven and earth!"
The three of them said forcefully.
At this time, Zhou He stepped forward, looked directly at Shi Dong and Mu Qing, and said: "Zhou learned that Lin Tian is the most brilliant genius in your house, but so what? Is it just because he is a rare person? Can the genius you see allow him to do whatever he wants? Can he kill others at will? Impossible!" As he spoke, Zhou He tightened his fists tightly, with a sad look on his face again: "The three of Chen Ping are not only Zhou He A certain subordinate and friend, and even an Imperial soldier who retired from the battlefield, must not die like this! The murderer must be severely punished!"
"Punish the murderer severely!"
"Punish the murderer severely!"
"Punish the murderer severely!"
As Zhou Hao finished speaking, a group of soldiers behind him started shouting.
Thousands of soldiers gathered together and roared like this, and the momentum was really scary.
Looking at this scene, many onlookers were moved.
In the distance, Pu Shi and Xin Yao stood together, and Xin Yao couldn't help but frown.
"This Zhou He has some authority and a clear mind. He knows that with the strength of a few people, he is not qualified to talk to Jiuyang Wufu, so he gathered all the soldiers in the city here. At this moment, thousands of soldiers shouted together, If Jiuyang Wufu hands over the murderer, even the elders of Wufu will be in trouble."
Pu Shi Dao.
"A cunning thing!"
Xin Yao hummed.
A group of soldiers roared with great force, one wave after another, shocking the hearts of the people.
Shi Dong and Mu Qing looked at Zhou Hao with serious faces and said coldly, "You gathered a crowd to threaten us?!"
"I dare not." Zhou He said: "Everyone in Fengjian City knows the status of the Wu Mansion. Even if Zhou had some courage, he would not dare to coerce the two elders. However, the imperial generals cannot just rely on nothing. If Zhou was killed and did not attack the murderer because he was afraid of his status in the military government, wouldn't it chill the hearts of thousands of warriors?" At this point, Zhou He clasped his fists with both hands and bowed forty-five degrees: "So, Zhou is bold , please two elders hand over the murderer!"
"Please elders hand over the murderer!"
"Please elders hand over the murderer!"
"Please elders hand over the murderer!"
All the soldiers bowed like Zhou He and roared in unison again.
Especially the three people who claimed to be the messengers shouted loudly.
Shi Dong and Mu Qing's expressions were very ugly. When facing Zhou He, they could scold him, and when facing the city lord Duan Yan, they could not be polite. However, facing thousands of soldiers, they were really powerless.
Duan Yan frowned: "Everyone stop!" Duan Yan is the Lord of Fengjian City. With this shout, thousands of soldiers stopped. After that, Duan Yan looked at Mu Qing and Shi Dong and said: "Two elders, these soldiers are subordinates of those three generals. I hope the two elders can understand their feelings. Duan will not say anything about punishing the murderer for the time being. If so, can you let Lin Tian come out and have a few confrontations? There won't be any problem in this way."
Being able to sit in the position of city lord, Duan Yan is naturally not a simple-minded person. Hearing the word "catty" from Shi Dong's mouth, and then listening to Su Shu's words, he became slightly confused. What Zhou He reported was indeed true. Chen Ping and the other three were indeed killed by Lin Tian. However, Duan Yan also knew the character of Shi Dong and Mu Qing very well. Since Shi Dong said the word "catty", and cooperated with Su Shu's words, there may really be something hidden in this. After thinking about it, Duan Yan decided to make a choice, let Lin Tian come out to confront him, and then make a decision.
Shi Dong frowned and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Mu Qing.
"Su Shu, go call Lin Tianlai."
Mu Qing said.
Since Duan Yan has regressed, wouldn't it look guilty if they continue to refuse forcefully
Su Shu snorted coldly, glared at Zhou He, and ran towards Lin Tian's residence.
A dark light flashed in Zhou He's eyes. It was conclusive that Lin Tian killed Chen Ping and the others. Even if Shi Dong and others guessed that there was something fishy in what happened today, what could these people do as long as he refused to admit it? The commander-in-chief of Luo Yuecheng has been his friend for many years, and the three soldiers kneeling in front of him are absolutely impossible to offend him because of a martial arts disciple. They will definitely stand by his side. Even if Shi Dong and others want to investigate, there is nothing they can do. In this way, as long as Lin Tian is called out, with the combined efforts of thousands of soldiers, there is no need to worry about Wu Mansion not surrendering in the end!
…
In Wu Mansion, Lin Tian walked out of his residence and walked towards Jingwu Pavilion. The cultivation level of the Divine Vein Realm has been completely stabilized, and only 30% of the Cang Lei Sword Technique has been fully cultivated. He is going to Jingwu Pavilion to select the lower level martial arts of the Divine Vein Realm.
"Speaking of which, the most advanced martial arts in Jiuyang Martial Palace are the lower-level martial arts with divine veins."
Lin Tian said to himself.
Thinking about it, Lin Tian's eyes flashed with brilliance. After a while, Jiuyang Martial Palace might not be able to satisfy him. If he wants to go further in the martial arts, he has to go to a higher place.
"Imperial City, Northern Yandi Courtyard."
Lin Tian murmured.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian shook his head. The most important thing at the moment was to improve his strength. After all, as Luo Xiao said, entering the Northern Flame Emperor's Academy was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
"Lin Tian."
A voice sounded from the front, and Su Shu ran towards him.
