Jiang Wang deliberately chose the opposite side of the city gate from the giant tortoise to leave the city.
He was neither fast nor slow in the city. After leaving the city, he sped all the way and arrived at the countryside in a flash.
"Sigh."
In the whistling wind, he suddenly heard such a sigh.
"May I know why this passerby is in such a hurry?"
Jiang Wang stopped and held his sword.
Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him, he said slowly, "I'm running for my life. I have no choice but to be in a hurry."
The person who appeared in front of him was a handsome young cultivator. He wore ordinary clothes and had no expression on his face, but his eyes made people feel melancholy.
He smiled. "You're the savior of Youguo, the great hero who destroyed the Thousand Severing Curse. Why are you running for your life? "
Jiang Wang sighed. "Maybe I'm not."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I chased after you because I wanted to take a closer look at our messenger of justice, our moral model." He shook his head and sighed. "So that's all there is to it."
Jiang Wang said, "I just did what I should do. There's no justice to speak of. City Lord Yin, if there's nothing else, I'll be on my way. "
At that time, on the rooftop of the restaurant, he saw a group of officials going up to the city to report on their work. One of them was Yin Guan.
Therefore, Jiang Wang remembered his appearance.
Everyone thought he was still hiding in the Twenty-Seventh City. The Monument Army was still searching in the city, and the commander of the Monument Army, Zheng Chaoyang, personally blocked the gate. However, he appeared in the countryside outside the city under everyone's noses.
"Ha! You really think you saved this city? "Yin Guan sneered." Youguo Youguo is a hopeless country! "
"Maybe I saved it, maybe I didn't. But at least I saved an innocent girl. " Jiang Wang said, "As for whether Youguo has any hope, that's something you Youguo should consider."
"You stopped Mu Qing and erased the first curse. Then you must've seen Mu Qing's wet nurse. Do you know why she resented her? Have you asked her why she would do such a thing at all costs? "
Yin Guan's voice was filled with anger. "Do you know how her only son died?"
"I didn't have time to ask, nor did I want to ask."
"Her only son was the city lord of the twenty-seventh city two years ago!"
The Brother Qing that Su Muqing mentioned?
Jiang Wang was shocked. He had thought that perhaps the old woman's son had been wronged or persecuted by someone. In short, they were all stories of bitterness that could be imagined. Although they were pitiful, they should not be a reason to hate the world.
Every injustice has its perpetrator and every debt has its debtor. Kill whoever you hate. You shouldn't implicate the innocent.
He had thought of many possibilities, but this answer was still unexpected.
Jiang Wang immediately thought of Su Muqing's words. "My cousin is very good. He's very good. But no matter what he does, he will die. "
Yin Guan was the governor who was going up to the city to report his work today. According to Su Muqing, he would definitely fail the evaluation today and end up being devoured by the Holy Beast.
On the other hand, he had set up a trap to trigger the Empire Protector Divine Beast to go berserk, allowing him to escape from death. It had even almost destroyed the twenty-seven cities. If the giant tortoise beast continued to go crazy, it was not impossible for the country to be destroyed.
He was just trying to save himself?
"He was a very outstanding person. We grew up together with Muqing and the other two. Both of us worked hard in cultivation. In order to spend more time with Muqing, I purposely hid my abilities and let him become the city lord that year. I thought it was a form of compensation. But I didn't expect … to push him straight to hell! "
"Do you know what it means to be the city lord of a lower city?"
"You Country is only divided into upper and lower cities."
"Above and below the tortoise shell. There is only one upper city, which is the capital. "
"There are a total of thirty-nine lower cities. The names are from the first city to the thirty-ninth city. Have you ever seen a city that only has a number? You don't know how to name a dog kennel or a chicken coop. Because you know that it is a dog kennel or chicken coop. That's enough. "
"Because the so-called change of city lord is just a cover! The current political system of You Country is only to select the most outstanding and talented cultivators from all over the country to be the food of the Holy Beast! The one with the worst evaluation is actually the one with the highest talent. But talent has instead become the reason for death! "
"Only in this way can it keep growing, keep staying in You Country, keep 'protecting' here!"
"But the people's grateful protection is just a beast's instinctive behavior of protecting its food!"
Yin Guan's eyes were distorted by a kind of pain.
He was laughing. He was laughing at himself and also laughing at this deformed country.
"So that's how it is!" Jiang Wang said.
"So that's how it is?"
"I just suddenly understood something." Jiang Wang said, "I thought Zhao Cang wanted to kill me. Now I understand that he really did want to kill me. But he didn't have to kill me himself. He announced in front of everyone that I had solved the Thousand Severing Curse in order to borrow your blade. "
"Because you're smart. You refused him. Smart people can clearly see this country's appearance. If you have a backer, then so be it. If you don't, then it's better if fewer people know. As for me … do you think I should kill you? "
"Perhaps you should." Jiang Wang clenched his sword. "Because you have your path, and I have mine."
"You still don't think you're wrong?" Yin Guan frowned and said, "What you think is justice is actually just helping the villain do evil!"
"Do you know …" Jiang Wang said, "Your cousin really loves you."
"What are you trying to say?"
"Then, do you know what kind of effect that cursed paper doll will have on her?"
"It will make her seriously ill. And everyone in the Su family except her will die. "
"If I remember correctly, the Su family is also your family."
"Family?" Yin Guan laughed, "Then do you know who it was that exposed my true talent and allowed me to become the City Lord of the 27 cities? It's Su Muqing's father, my uncle! "
"Just to consolidate his power with my ingredients that can make the turtle beast eat its fill. He even let him climb into the upper city. He completely forgot how he became the family head back then, forgot how my mother died! "
Jiang Wang was speechless. He really couldn't blame him for this.
But he also had his own path. He wouldn't be swayed by the tragic experience of others.
Jiang Wang said, "But have you ever thought about how many people will die when that giant beast goes crazy and attacks the lower city? You can't use a bigger mistake to correct another mistake. "
"That depends on how you define a mistake." Yin Guan said lightly.
"Then, one last question." Jiang Wang asked, "Why are you telling me so much?"
"Hahahaha." Yin Guan laughed. "Only now do I feel that you're interesting."
He replied, "Because I'm the same as you … waiting for someone. You're waiting for him to kill me, and I'm also waiting … for him to kill me! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd fell silent.
From the direction of the twenty-seventh city, a straight figure, like an arrow leaving the bow, shot straight towards them at a speed that almost broke through space!
If he was the arrow.
This bow must have mountains as its back and rivers as its string.
This arrow must break through the sky!
Those majestic muscles and strong pressure, even from afar, let people know his identity — the commander of the Monument Army, Zheng Chaoyang!
Yin Guan waved his sleeves and walked past Jiang Wang.
"They only miscalculated one thing. That is … "
As he spoke, he began to accelerate in the direction of Zheng Chaoyang!
"They didn't really understand how talented I am. How strong I am! "
