Chapter 7: When people are unjust, there are people who cry out
The entire space seemed to be still for a moment. No matter the upper city on the turtle's back or the twenty-seven lower cities, everyone subconsciously held their breath.
Then the beast lifted its feet.
A tiny black shadow emerged from the ground and once again stopped in front of the giant beast.
People are excited!
The soldiers on the city wall all hit the ground with the tails of their spears.
"Wei!"
"Wei!"
"Wei!"
The invincible god of war who protects their country, the commander of the monument-bearing army Zheng Chaoyang!
The elite monks who rushed into the twenty-seventh city also quickly found out the problem while he was fighting for it.
Fighting broke out all over the city.
Looking up, I saw black smoke rising from many places in the twenty-seven cities. Every black smoke represented a curse.
Judging from the scale, the curse represented by these black smokes is not powerful, but there are nearly a hundred places!
If every place represents an existence full of hatred and malice like that white-haired old woman, then this city...
Jiang Wang couldn't help but think, as the wet nurse of the crying woman in the deep courtyard, why did that white-haired old woman have such a bone-crushing hatred?
These powers, these malices, and these curses are not terrifying individually. Any Zhoutian monk can eliminate them independently. But once they are gathered together with some secret method, they are enough to provoke the ferocity of this giant turtle beast.
Once the power of the curse was crushed, the giant turtle beast with Baxia's bloodline was instantly appeased and returned to its original state.
But Shangcheng did not remain calm.
"Yin Guan, the lord of the twenty-seventh city, is not effective in governing the country, and even uses deceitful means to influence the holy beast. He has committed a heinous crime! He will be swallowed by the holy beast as punishment for his crime!"
The sound was silent for a moment, and then he suddenly started drinking again.
"Damn it! Go find him!"
Obviously, what happened today was planned by the lord of the lower city named Yin Guan. Moreover, he escaped with all the main force of Youguo!
Following the capital's order, the monks scattered in the twenty-seven cities of the lower city not only did not return, but more elite monks rushed down to the capital.
The big man who gave orders in the upper city obviously believed that Yin Guan was still in the twenty-seventh city, and decided to seal the place tightly. He checked inch by inch and found out who he was.
…
"cousin!"
Jiang Wang suddenly heard a voice that was almost wailing. He followed the sound and saw that it was still the woman who was crying in the deep courtyard and lighting the cursed paper man on fire.
She was on the long street, her face was ashen. Her beautiful face was full of tears.
Jiang Wang deliberately alarmed her family before, hoping that her family would control her and prevent the woman from getting into trouble again.
But I never wanted to go around in a big circle and still meet her on the street.
What a coincidence!
Moreover, her cousin is actually Yin Guan who caused such a big incident. He is the city lord of the twenty-seventh city!
Jiang Wang felt that his head was getting big, so he turned around calmly and used the crowd to cover himself.
He was just a passing visitor to Youguo and didn't want to get himself into such a big trouble.
"Beauty, what were you shouting just now?"
At this moment, a man dressed completely differently from the Monument-bearing monks stood in front of the woman named Mu Qing with a smile.
Although the woman is overly sad and a little confused, she is not stupid.
As soon as he saw that this person did not look kind, he immediately turned around and walked elsewhere.
He hurriedly explained: "No, it's nothing."
"Hey!" The man's face was not ugly, but a little oily and pink. He was wearing a pink and white Confucian uniform. He chuckled: "It's nothing, then why are you running?"
As he spoke, he gently reached out and caught the woman's wrist without making any movement.
"Let me go!" The woman struggled hard, but failed to break free, and shouted coldly: "I am from the Zuozheng Su family in this city!"
It is different from the political system of Zhuang State. In You State, the city lord changes every half a year. Only the best talents in a city are qualified to become the lord of the lower city and rule for half a year.
But because the time was so short, there was actually a family in the lower city that specialized in handling mundane affairs, and that was the real core family in the lower city.
The Su family where Su Muqing lives is the Zuozheng family in Twenty-Seven City.
Of course, power is not overwhelming. Real major issues still need to be decided in the city.
The sacred beast that protects the country regularly patrols the country's borders, allowing the capital on its back to control the entire country very deeply.
In the semiannual assessment, if the city lord performs well, he will be eligible to enter the upper city to practice as a reward. If the performance is unqualified, he will be swallowed by the sacred beast that protects the country as a punishment.
Su Muqing's cousin Yin Guan is such a city lord.
"Hahahaha, the Zuozheng family?" The pink-faced man laughed, pulled her and turned around: "Then it will be easier to talk!"
"stop!"
Although Jiang Wang avoided the crowd, he had been paying attention to what was going on here.
The person who stopped him was not him, but the mean Xu Xiangqian whom he had met once before.
His extremely high forehead is very eye-catching.
"In broad daylight, everything is clear! What do you want to do with my cousin?" he asked angrily.
Originally, this pink-faced man kidnapped people on the street, which made passers-by very dissatisfied. However, due to his status as a monk in the upper city who was performing his mission, he was worried that Su Muqing was indeed involved in today's incident, so he did not dare to come forward.
At this time, Xu Xianggan came forward, and passers-by turned sideways and vaguely surrounded them.
Seeing this situation, the pink-faced man showed no fear, but looked at him with contempt.
"Your cousin?" He turned around, looked at Xu Xiangqian, and smiled: "What's your name? What's her name? Where does she live? How old is she? Now, if I say the wrong one, I'll kill you!"
Su Muqing wanted to speak, but he held her chin, unable to speak.
Following his words, some monks from the nearby upper city also roughly pushed through the crowd and surrounded Xu Xiangqian.
Only the monks wearing the uniforms of the Monument-bearing Army were still carrying out their tasks meticulously and searching everywhere.
Xu Xiangqian was stunned for a moment. He did have good intentions, but he couldn't really understand Su Muqing's situation. Naturally, he couldn't answer the pink-faced man's question.
"Did everyone see it? He actually lied to me while I was performing my official duties. I wonder if it has anything to do with those heresies?" The pink-faced man laughed, turned back to look at Xu Xiangqian: "I can kill you right now. Arrest him and lock him up for ten to eight years, do you believe it or not?"
"Just come!" Xu Xiangqian didn't look like a scholar and started rolling up his sleeves: "I'm afraid you won't be your grandfather!"
"I hope you can always be so sharp-tongued." The pink-faced man's smile faded and he said coldly: "This person is suspected to be related to the traitor Yin Guan. Get him!"
Amidst the chaos, a clear voice suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute!"
A man with a handsome, young face but long gray hair squeezed out of the crowd.
"Her name is Su Muqing. She lives in the biggest house on the street behind you. Turn left at the end and turn right at the end! Her age is something I can't tell you because a woman's age is a secret. You Don’t deserve to know.”
"I'm here to testify that the person Su Muqing called her cousin was Xu Xiangqian! Is there anything else you want to ask?"
…

ps: There was an earthquake just now, but it didn’t affect my updates!
