"All dead?" Upon hearing Liu Fugui's words, Ding Tanhaoxuan almost sat on the ground. If General Zhendong and the 10,000 soldiers were really dead, then he, the housekeeper, was not far away from death.
It’s not surprising that Ding Tan thought this way. Ding Tan was the one who took the lead in sending General Zhendong to Ding Maocheng. It can also be said that he died because of him. If Ding Mao knew about this, it would be enough even if he didn’t skin him.
"Liu Fugui, you damn thing have hurt me. Didn't you say that the strongest person on the other side is a little king? Why didn't even General Zhendong come back this time?" After Ding Tan finished speaking, he broke out in cold sweat.
.
"Steward Ding, this...this..." Hearing what Ding Tan said, Liu Fugui was dumbfounded. By now, if he didn't know what the consequences were that he was going to face next, then his life would have been in vain.
.
Looking at Liu Fugui sitting on the ground, Ding Tan wished he could slap him to death, but he put his slap down as soon as he lifted it up.
"Liu Fugui, just wish yourself well! Get up quickly and follow me to see the city lord. I hope the city lord will be merciful and not kill you."
The reason why Ding Tan did not shoot Liu Fugui to death was because he had his own thoughts. The death of General Zhendong was a big deal. Such a big thing had not happened in Ding Mao City for countless years. Ding Mao would definitely be furious when he knew about it.
As the instigator, I will probably become his punching bag. It can be said that this meeting with Ding Mao was a narrow escape from death. No, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a narrow escape from death.
He decided to take Liu Fugui with him to see Ding Mao. If he found something wrong, he would put all the blame on Liu Fugui and let Liu Fugui be the scapegoat. When the matter was about life and death, he didn't care about his friends or not.
The most important thing is to save your own life first.
Liu Fugui was so frightened that he could not stand up. Ding Tan grabbed him by the collar of his clothes, lifted him up, and ran towards the city lord's mansion on the top of the mountain.
At this time, Ding Mao was furious in the mansion, standing in front of the hall and pacing back and forth. Beneath him knelt a commander in golden armor covered in blood. This man was the only officer who escaped after the battle in Zhangjia Town.
"Tell me again, how did General Zhendong let that man beheaded that day?" This commander had already said it in detail, but Ding Mao would never believe that a third-level emperor under his command just let him be killed.
A king beheaded.
Not to mention Ding Mao, no one would believe this, because in the entire Heavenly Emperor's Domain, there has been no genius who has crossed the big realm to kill his opponent for countless years.
"Reporting to the Lord of the City, that young man in white robe is so terrifying. Even the general, he killed the general with just three shots. Especially the last shot was even more terrifying. The general's soul was completely destroyed."
No need to elaborate further, the opponent killed General Zhendong in three moves, which explains the problem very well.
"Ding Tan, it was all your fault, but you actually deceived me." Upon hearing Ding Tan, Ding Mao's eyes suddenly revealed murderous intent.
As the chief steward of Ding Mao City, Ding Tan would not be stopped by anyone even if he met Ding Mao. When Ding Mao said these words, Ding Tan happened to come to the door, and Ding Tan heard everything he said.
Ding Tan couldn't help but pause in his steps, and immediately broke out in cold sweat. From the tone of Ding Mao's words, it was easy to tell that his master had murderous intentions.
He looked back at Liu Fugui, who was a few meters behind him. At this time, Liu Fugui was trembling with fear, and his whole body was shaking like chaff. Although his face was covered with a layer of blood, he could not hide his deathly look.
"Hehe, thanks to my saving a hand, I brought Liu Fugui here, otherwise I would definitely be the one who died. Old friend, I'm sorry, but when my life is at stake, I can only let you die."
Ding Tan sneered in his heart, but on the surface he comforted Liu Fugui: "It will be fine if you explain the matter clearly to the city lord. We are old friends for many years, and we will definitely help you speak at critical moments."
Ding Tan was Liu Fugui's only life-saving straw now. He knew that this guy was very unreliable, but he still managed to squeeze out a smile. However, in the eyes of others, this smile was uglier than crying.
"In that case, I would like to thank Brother Ding for being rich and noble, and please ask Brother Ding to intercede more in front of the city lord." Now even the title has changed, instead of calling Ding Tan the steward, he has become Brother Ding.
"Huh! Liu Fugui, it's not that I won't save you, but I really can't save you. For my own life, you have to die." Ding Tan listened to Liu Fugui's words and felt a murmur in his heart.
"Ding Tan, why are you still standing outside! Come in here." After hearing Ding Tan's conversation with Liu Fugui outside, Ding Mao immediately shouted angrily.
Suddenly hearing Ding Mao's words, Ding Tan couldn't help but tremble all over, and hurriedly waved his hand towards Liu Fugui, indicating that he would come with him to meet the city lord.
Ding Mao didn't ask Liu Fugui to go in with him, but Ding Tan had to call him. He was his scapegoat and now he had to follow him at all times.
Ding Tan pushed open the door of the hall and walked in, followed by Liu Fugui with a look of fear on his face. Today, he opened the door of this hall that he had been to countless times, and he felt like he was at the gate of hell.
Ding Mao stared at the murals on the wall with his hands behind his back. Generally speaking, the walls of the living room are hung with landscape paintings, but here Ding Mao hangs a figure painting.
This painting depicts a mountain. There is a huge palace on the mountain. There is a person sitting on the throne of the palace. This person has a face like a crown jade, eyes like bright stars, and wears a golden hair crown on his head.
Wearing a jade hairpin.
There is a pillar in the square in front of the temple. There is a person tied to the pillar. This person has disheveled hair and a drooping head. Beside this person, there is an executioner wearing a scarlet waistcoat. The executioner is holding a ghost-headed knife in his hand and is holding it high.
The power of splitting.
Seeing Ding Mao staring at the mural, Ding Tan knelt down on the ground with a plop, and immediately burst into tears. In an instant, tears flowed freely, and the tears fell to the ground.
Ding Mao slowly turned around, with his hands behind his back, and the expression on his face was exactly the same as that of the person on the mural.
"Ding Tan, do you know what this painting means? Do you know how I feel now?" Ding Mao had a look of sadness on his face.
"City Lord, even if Ding Tan has forgotten his name, he will definitely not forget this painting. What Ding Tan did this time is a capital crime. However, City Lord, please consider my father's loyalty to you and be able to
Spare me this time."
"Ding Tan, your father committed a serious crime back then. It would be difficult for me to convince the public if I didn't kill him. Although he is my brother, I must kill him. But over the years, I always feel guilty in my heart for arranging you.
Although I am a housekeeper next to me, in my heart, I regard you as a junior and pamper you in everything. But you really disappointed me. This time you actually killed General Zhendong and 10,000 elite soldiers.
Tell me what I should do."
"Whenever you make a mistake, I will look at this mural. I hope this painting can eliminate my urge to kill you, remind me of my brother, and remind me that you are his only heir."
"Now, all the generals have come to impeach you and strongly demand that you be killed. You said that you have to risk your life to avenge your cousin. Is it worth it?"
Ding Tan knelt in front of Ding Mao and cried loudly. After hearing Ding Mao's words, he had already burst into tears, but it was not difficult to tell from Ding Mao's words that the city lord wanted to kill him.
"City Lord, Liu Fugui is not my cousin. I have nothing to do with him. I just know him. I was bewitched by him before. Everything was done by his treacherous villain."
Ding Tan crawled forward two steps and hugged Ding Mao's legs. He burst into tears and explained to Ding Mao desperately, trying to persuade Ding Mao to spare his life.
After hearing what Ding Tan said, Ding Mao was silent for a moment. He suddenly raised his lowered head and looked directly at Liu Fugui, who was standing behind Ding Tan, with a terrifying light shining from his eyes.
When Ding Tan finished speaking, Liu Fugui immediately thought of what the other party was going to do. He was obviously going to use himself as a scapegoat. He wanted to tell the difference, but he knew it was useless. In front of Ding Mao, he was nothing but an onion.
.
Liu Fugui was so frightened that his calf muscles twisted. When Ding Mao looked at him like this again, his whole body went limp and he fell to the ground as if he had no bones.
"Come here, take this man named Liu Fugui out and cut him into pieces," Ding Mao shouted, and two powerful emperors came in and dragged Liu Fugui out, who was lying limply on the ground.
Liu Fugui was now like a dead dog. The two emperors had sealed his meridians as soon as they caught him. Needless to say, he couldn't display his cultivation, and he couldn't even speak.
"Ding Tan, Liu Fugui is your scapegoat this time. With him, I can explain to the generals, but you have to behave yourself in the future to prevent similar things from happening again."
As soon as Ding Mao said this, a terrifying pressure suddenly came from outside the palace. This pressure was so powerful that even a powerful man like Ding Mao, who was on the ninth level of the Emperor, could not help but pause, and his face instantly showed horror.
With such a look on his face, his figure flashed, ignoring Ding Tan who was kneeling on the ground, and disappeared into the hall in the blink of an eye.
Lu Qingfeng arrived outside Dingmao City. His divine body was suspended in the sky outside the city. He paused for a moment, then suddenly accelerated and flew directly towards the mountain peak in the center of Dingmao City. At the same time, the power of the Emperor's ninth-level peak soul emitted and rushed straight to this mountain peak.
Sweep away.
"Mo Wuji, it turns out that you returned to Dingmao City and your injuries were not serious, so I just killed you right there."
The divine body turned into a stream of light and flew to the north side of the mountain in the blink of an eye. The Big Dipper Sword was held in the palm of his hand and suddenly raised high. In an instant, a dazzling light lit up on the long sword. As the light flickered, the mountain seemed to suddenly appear.
Like a small sun.
The Big Dipper Sword suddenly slashed down towards the north side of the mountain. The long sword suddenly turned into a ten-thousand-meter sword light. The sword light fell from the sky, like a bolt from the blue, and instantly landed on the north side of the mountain.
boom!
A shocking roar sounded, shaking the entire city of Dingmao, which was thousands of miles away. The sound was like the sky and the earth breaking apart, causing everyone in Dingmao City to feel their hearts shake.
