Evergreen Immortal - Chapter 268
The moonlight was shining lightly, and 32 lights were dotted, and Qinghe City was peaceful.
“Old Liu, what’s going on with you? You’ve moved into a new room and you’ve lost your waist?”
There was a burst of strange laughter under the city gate.
Old Liu was not annoyed at being teased. He smiled and said with a good temper: “I am getting older, and I still want to have a son.”
The other guards looked at Old Liu with strange expressions.
Among them, Lao Liu is the oldest.
Strangely enough, Lao Liu was not incapable of giving birth.
On the contrary, it is very lively.
It’s too early to get a wife.
But she was unlucky and gave birth to seven girls in a row, which made Old Liu very worried. Recently, under the pressure of his mother, he had a baby, just to give birth to a son.
In Yu State, it is absolutely impossible to have a man in the family, and even a small wealthy family cannot do it. If the family is all women, they will be devoured.
It’s equivalent to the bloodline of the ancestors being cut off. In the future, Zhongyuan will not be able to eat incense, and the ancestors will suffer from hunger one by one down there. Can’t they all be blamed on Lao Liu?
Of course Lao Liu is in a good mood.
Working hard day and night finally paid off.
Pregnant.
He is already old. In a few years, he will go to Dian Shi to beg for mercy and let him work as an errand in the sixth house.
Even if this life is not in vain.
Just when a few people were chatting enthusiastically, the sound suddenly stopped.
I saw the county magistrate Zhong walking over expressionlessly.
Just say: “Open the door.”
Hearing this, the commander guarding the door hesitated a little and asked, “Master Zhong, it’s almost midnight, why do you want to open the door?”
It’s too weird to open the door at this time.
If the inspector found out, it would be a big deal that would kill him.
Zhong Zheng looked at the commander coldly: “Why, I am not the county magistrate, so my words are useless. I remember it was Mr. Zhuang who proposed your position as commander.”
“Yes, yes.”
The gatekeeper commander was suddenly frightened and broke into a cold sweat.
This matter has always been his heartache. He was the former magistrate Zhuang Renhe, otherwise he would not be assigned to such an important position as guarding the city gate. But now that Zhuang Renhe is dead, he will definitely be liquidated.
Zhong Zheng would definitely find it difficult to punish him no matter how he found it.
He gritted his teeth and said to the person behind him:
“Open the city gate.”
Then he saw the city gate slowly opened, and Zhong Zheng rode out alone.
After a while.
Zhong Zheng came to a barren mountain outside the city.
Mrs. Lingluo and Yuan Gao were standing not far from him. As they approached, Zhong Zheng’s eyes flashed with struggle, and he said in a dull voice: “The city gate has been opened.”
“very good.”
Mrs. Lingluo’s eyes flashed a strange purple color, as if a datura flower was blooming.
“Now that you’ve finished your work, you can go and die.”
A cold light flashed!
Zhong Zheng’s pupils expanded instinctively, and he stared at the woman in front of him with wide eyes.
Until his death, he didn’t even understand when he fell into the illusion.
Mrs. Lingluo didn’t even look at the body on the ground.
He just looked at Yuan Gao and said lightly:
“Let’s go, arrest people!”
“Why do you think Mr. Zhong went out so late?”
A few soldiers were chatting at the city gate, looking at the boundless darkness in front of them.
Too weird.
Although there is no curfew in Qinghe, it seems a bit strange for a county magistrate to go out of the city alone at night.
The guard commander also felt something was wrong.
But for his black gauze hat, he could only do this.
If he offends Qingtian, who is now the Qinghe County Government Office, he will definitely not have a good life in the future, and may even end up with his family ruined.
He climbed up to this point with great difficulty.
I really can’t bear to part with this wealth and splendor.
He suppressed his uneasiness and said, “Just wait.”
A full half hour passed.
Just when a few people felt that the county magistrate Zhong Zheng would not come back, they were wondering whether to close the city gate first.
suddenly.
Lao Liu, who had been silent all this time, pointed to the darkness ahead, with an obvious tremor in his voice:
“Then what is that?”
I heard Lao Liu’s voice.
Several other people also looked in the direction of Lao Liu’s finger, and their pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole in an instant.
Monster.
A monster beyond sight.
The blood in the guard commander’s body went cold in an instant, and his mind went blank.
It was Lao Liu who reacted first and shouted:
“Close the city gate!”
“Close the city gate quickly!”
At the same time, he ran towards the top of the city wall with all his strength.
‘Son, daddy probably can’t see you anymore. ’
A roaring sound like rolling thunder exploded in the dark night. Standing on the city wall, half of the sky was red.
“Monster!”
“It’s a monster!”
The night was like ink, and the outer city of Qinghe was in flames. The thatched roof was licked by the flames, and instantly turned into a sea of fire. The strong wind blew, and the fire spread out of control.
“It’s flooded, hurry up and put out the fire.”
“What are you putting out? The monster is coming!”
Various calls for help, howls, and cries were intertwined, and it was like purgatory on earth.
The city gate is open.
The monster beasts rushed into the outer city without any obstacles, and one living life after another was buried in the beast’s mouth.
Peace Guard.
“Enemy attack?”
Li Rui opened his eyes and turned over suddenly, the rapid sound of bells echoing in his ears.
This is a wake-up call.
It only sounds when the enemy leaves the city, but this is Liqing River, how could there be an enemy attacking the city.
Just ridiculous.
The country of Yu was stable and peaceful, and nothing like this had happened for hundreds of years.
He stood up quickly, put on his clothes and shoes, picked up the long knife and went out.
At this time.
Wang Zhao and Yang Yong walked out of the room in a daze, even forgetting to put on their shoes.
“What’s going on?”
Li Rui looked at the red half of the sky not far away and narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Something serious has happened.”
“Follow me.”
Li Rui took two quick steps, grabbed Wang Zhao and Yang Yong’s hands and dragged them into his room, opening the tunnel under the shocked eyes of the two.
“You go in first.”
Wang Zhao and Yang Yong looked at Li Rui in surprise. Seeing that he had no intention of going in together, they couldn’t help but panic:
“Master, what about you?”
Li Rui said in a deep voice: “Liang He is still outside, I want to find him back.”
As a human teacher, and he is already one of the top few in the city, he cannot sit idly by.
After the new city was built in Qinghe, it was divided into an inner city and an outer city.
There is also a city wall in the inner city.
Fortunately, the inner city has not yet been breached, and the people living there are all the prominent nobles of Qinghe. As for the outer city, it has been completely occupied.
The Heaven and Earth Alliance is not the eight major sects.
I couldn’t afford land in the inner city, so I stayed at the original location, east of the outer city.
A bit of golden light flashed and shot through the head of a giant python, bringing out a long and thin line of blood.
The little girl, covered by the python’s body, didn’t even know what had just happened.
Magical power at the snap of a finger!
Li Rui does not need feathered arrows, he can kill monsters directly with the snap of his fingers, which is extremely powerful, and he does not have to worry about recovering the arrows.
‘It’s only one person who can be saved. ’
He sighed inwardly.
There were two corpses lying next to the little girl, one male and one female. Even if they killed the giant python, they might not be able to survive in such troubled times.
If you are poor, you can benefit yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world.
Li Rui is neither a saint nor cold-blooded.
Now that his fifth-level realm was considered very high in Qinghe, he could save someone casually, so why not do it.
Although there are many monsters attacking the city.
But the strength is mostly average.
He can easily kill the monster without losing anything.
‘So, what happened? ’
Before leaving Anning Guard, he had already gone to the Junjun Mansion. Only a group of Huaqing Sect disciples were left. Jiang Linxian was missing, and so was Jiang Yan.
Everything has a hint of weirdness.
Li Rui looked at the smoke in the void.
A bloody red.
County government office.
The chief elders of the eight major sects in the city gathered together.
“Where’s Zhong Zheng?”
“Why is the city gate open?”
“The Qinghe government needs to give us an explanation!”
If the city gate hadn’t been opened, the monsters wouldn’t have been able to wreak havoc in the city so easily.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
They lived in the inner city and were safe, but many of their properties were in the outer city, which was unacceptable to them, so they gathered together to attack the county government.
Lord Bo Liuquan looked bitter.
You ask me.
I asked who to go?
What a ghost. First the county magistrate of Qinghe died, and now even the county magistrate is missing. At the critical moment, the biggest one is actually his third-ranked boss.
Heaven.
‘I’m just a small clerk in the county government office! ’
“The situation is unclear, but now Qinghe is in trouble, and I hope the eight elders will help. The court will definitely remember this kindness.”
Liu Quan quickly regained his composure.
How could he be a layperson if he could become the chief registrar or the seventh-grade chief registrar of Qinghe?
He will definitely not take the blame.
But now it’s not that far to break up with the Eight Great Sects.
They were all grasshoppers on a rope when monsters besieged the city. No one from Anning Guard had come yet, so something had obviously happened. The only ones he could count on were the elders of the Eight Great Sects.
Zhou Ting, the elder of Baizhan Sect, has a hot temper.
He snorted and was the first to speak: “A group of flat-haired people are born out of nowhere. Can they really sit on my head and shit?”
On the side, the elder of Shenbing Villa, Shi Zhou, sneered:
“Of course the demon must be killed, but the culprit must be found!”
He thought more deeply than Zhou Ting.
The monsters entering the city today are not natural disasters, but man-made disasters.
Otherwise, what is the explanation for the wide opening of Qinghe City Gate?
Someone did it on purpose.
Although the elders of the other six sects remained silent, their attitudes were very clear.
It is necessary to suppress the demonic chaos.
They not only represent themselves, but also the sect behind them. If the people of this sect know about a group of monsters, they will not dare to go out, and how will they be able to hang out in the world in the future.
Seeing that the heads of the eight major sects all agreed to take action.
The chief secretary, Liu Quan, was more excited than ever before, and even his hands began to tremble slightly.
Sometimes crises represent opportunities.
He is the chief registrar and has neither a county magistrate nor a county magistrate. If he can suppress this demonic rebellion, it will be a great achievement. It is possible for him to directly become the magistrate.
‘Great opportunity, great fortune! ’
Liu Quan seemed to have seen the golden road to promotion slowly opening towards him.
Breathing became rapid.
Suddenly——
Liu Quan’s eyes turned to panic. His hands did not obey his command at all, and he slowly raised them to hold his head.
Click
After a crisp sound of bones breaking.
I saw Liu Quan twisting off his own head.
Seeing such a strange scene, the elders of the eight major sects all looked condensed.
Zhou Ting was the first to burst out:
“Monster, don’t pretend to be a ghost here!”
The sledgehammer behind him smashed toward the door like a gust of wind.
Bang!
Zhou Ting’s body flew backwards instantly, accompanied by the sound of bones crackling and breaking.
If they were just angry when the chief clerk Liu Quan died before, now they were terrified.
Who is Zhou Ting?
He is a fifth-grade junior master!
He was knocked away by someone in a face-to-face encounter. The person who did it at least crushed Zhou Ting in terms of strength.
Bai Zhan Men follows the path of horizontal training. There are too few people of the same level in the martial arts world who can crush Bai Zhan Men in terms of strength.
So there is only one answer.
‘Fourth-grade innate! ’
The other seven elders all felt depressed. Elder Bai of Dao Shi Zong was quick-witted and caught Zhou Ting with his clever strength, staring at the door.
“Since the elders are all here, I don’t have to look for them one by one.”
A woman’s voice sounded.
Madam Ling Luo walked into the room leisurely.
She didn’t care about the gazes of several people at all, just glanced at Liu Quan on the ground: “Master Liu, don’t worry, the county magistrate and the registrar have gone down to wait for you in advance.”
Hearing this.
The elders of the eight major sects all felt depressed.
The county magistrate Zhuang Renhe was already dead, and this woman killed the county magistrate, the chief clerk, and the registrar in one breath, and the Qinghe County Office was directly killed.
Shi Zhou looked at the strong man like an iron tower behind the woman with fear, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
“It’s really innate.”
Innate realm, even if the eight of them go together, they may not be the opponent of the strong man.
At this time.
Bai Jing of Daoxuan Sect suddenly said: “Lord of Lingluo City?”
When Madam Lingluo saw that someone recognized her identity, her smile became more charming: “Senior, do you recognize me?”
Seeing that Madam Lingluo did not deny it.
The faces of the other few people instantly became extremely ugly.
The woman in front of him was the lord of Mangu City, and today’s siege was obviously caused by this woman.
It’s simply audacious!
What does she want to do?
Declare war with the State of Yu?
Madam Ling Luo sat in the seat of Liu Zhubu with a smile: “I came here today to discuss a business with the elders?”
Business?
The eight people in the room looked at each other, not knowing what Madam Ling Luo was talking about.
Moreover, doing business with the Wu Kingdom thieves, what is the difference between this and treason?
“How can we collude with a witch like you?”
A middle-aged man with a curly beard was the first to disagree.
Madam Ling Luo winked at the strong man behind her.
Boom!
There was a loud bang.
The elder of the Beiyue Sect, the middle-aged man with a curly beard, was punched out of the room, leaving only a huge hole.
Seeing this, everyone stopped talking.
This woman is really as cruel as the rumors say.
Shi Zhou quickly said, “Lord of Lingluo, please tell me.”
Madam Lingluo narrowed her beautiful phoenix eyes and smiled with satisfaction:
“Everyone go back and control your disciples. In return, no one else will know what’s going on here. How about that?”
The people in the room looked at each other.
They couldn’t make up their minds for a while.
It was Shi Zhou who spoke first: “Okay.”
With the first person taking the lead, the rest will be much easier. Even Zhou Ting nodded in the end.
Seeing this scene.
Madam Lingluo stood up.
If Qinghe City wants to take down Jiang Linxian, it must not let the people of the eight major sects make trouble.
There are people to kill Jiang Linxian.
She just needs to control the people of the eight major sects.
Just then, a man in black came up to her and whispered something. Then Madam Lingluo’s face changed drastically. She walked out of the room quickly and disappeared in the fiery red night.
Only a few people were left looking at each other.
The bearded man who was supported spat: “How did you raise a weakling like you in the Divine Weapon Villa? Mr. Shi, don’t say you’ve ever had a drink with me in the future.”
They are all well-known elders of the eight major sects, so of course they have personal relationships with each other.
The bearded man didn’t know how many times he had a drink with Shi Zhou.
In the past, I thought Shi Zhou was an alien in the Divine Weapon Villa, without the boldness of the Divine Weapon Villa. Now it seems that he is a coward!
Shi Zhou glanced at the bearded man:
“Elder Hu, if I hadn’t spoken just now, you would have been beaten to death now.”
At this time, Elder Bai of Daoxuan Sect also joined in: “Elder Hu, the situation just now was that the enemy was strong and we were weak, so we used a delaying tactic, otherwise none of us in the room would be able to leave tonight.”
The bearded man was speechless for a while.
But he also understood that Shi Zhou had indeed saved his life just now.
Zhou Ting suddenly said: “Don’t worry about that idiot, they seem to have all left, so what should we do next?”
Shi Zhou’s mouth corners slightly raised.
Just now, when Mrs. Ling Luo left, she was obviously a little flustered. Given that woman’s temperament was shaken, it must be a big deal.
Obviously, things have taken a turn for the better.
He has developed a good temper over the years, but he is a blacksmith after all. Do you really think that your uncle Shi has a good temper made of clay?
A woman from the Wu Kingdom is also worthy of riding on their heads?
“Of course, fuck her mother.”
“No, fuck her!”
