"City Lord, have a safe journey."
Looking at Xiong Xin's corpse, Hu Qing also had mixed feelings. This Solitary Cloud City's City Lord had always been obedient to her and her sister. If not for the fact that he wanted to forcefully marry them, he would have been a very, very good elder in her heart.
However, Zhao Yun didn't linger any longer. She said to Hu Qing and her sister, "The promise has been fulfilled. You and I have nothing to do with each other anymore." After saying that, she walked out of the hall.
The guards in the hall hadn't recovered from the shock of the City Lord's sudden death. At this time, seeing that Zhao Yun wanted to leave, they all clamored and moved slowly. They wanted to block Zhao Yun's path, but they didn't dare to.
Someone thought worriedly, "The City Lord suddenly died. We must be the scapegoats. What should we do?"
Another person thought anxiously, "Even the City Lord died under this guy's sword. How can we catch him with our little cultivation? Isn't it obvious that we're courting death? "
Only the dozens of Frost Clothes Iron Guards blocked the hall door. They looked as if they were facing death calmly. They raised their halberds and didn't let Zhao Yun go. "Murderer, where are you going?!"
Zhao Yun was about to pull out her sword and step on the Frost Clothes Iron Guards' corpses. However, Hu Lan giggled and said, "I say, you bunch of idiots, why are you so nervous? Although the stinky bear is dead, it's not like Solitary Cloud City doesn't have a City Lord. "
The guards were all stunned. They didn't know what this beautiful girl meant.
They saw Hu Lan walking straight out of the hall, ignoring the snow-white halberds and blades.
Everyone was shocked by Hu Lan's confident expression. They didn't dare to stop her and thought to themselves, "What does this little fox mean?"
They also thought that Zhao Yun was the City Lord's murderer. As for these fox sisters, it was better not to offend them easily. Several great aristocrats were drooling over their beauty. If they didn't know when to stop, would they still want their lives?
Hu Lan took out a purple bamboo from his bosom and released it into the sky. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, the new city master will be here soon."
Zhao Yun didn't care what she was doing. She didn't have the slightest interest in delaying any further. Ignoring the Frost Clothes Iron Guard's covetous gaze, she strode forward.
The Frost Suit Guard felt an extremely powerful aura surge toward him, and he involuntarily took a few steps back. His heart was filled with righteous indignation, and he didn't dare to use his halberd to block this attack.
Hu Lan hurriedly ran over and grabbed Zhao Yun's sleeve. She said pitifully, "Brother, there are so many bad people surrounding us sisters. Are you so heartless to let us be bullied and not care about our lives at all?"
Zhao Yun's swift steps immediately slowed down. He looked angrily at Hu Lan's half-smiling face and snorted, "Will you be bullied? It's fine as long as you don't hurt anyone! "
Even though he said that, he couldn't take another step forward. He thought to himself, "Forget it, I can't really let the sisters get hurt. Anyway, I still have to go to Hu Mansion to find Senior Brother. I'll let them lead the way later, lest they don't know the way and can't find Hu Mansion for a while."
Hu Qing looked at his sister's triumphant smile and was also puzzled, "What is this Little Lan doing behind my back?"
At this moment, a burst of hurried and heavy footsteps came from the direction of the city master's mansion. Judging from the momentum, there should be thousands of people. All the guards were puzzled. The city master's mansion has strict rules in the forbidden palace. Where did so many people come from? "
After a while, a large group of armored warriors rushed over. The person in the lead was dressed in golden armor and looked very dignified. It was the leader of the Grizzly Bear Clan, Xiong Meng.
Xiong Meng saw Hu Lan from afar and said with joy and panic, "Miss, how is it?"
Hu Lan said with a smile, "Congratulations, City Master. In the future, the Heavenly Fox Clan will rely on your protection."
Xiong Meng felt as if he was in a dream. He hurriedly rushed into the hall and saw the mighty Xiong Xin lying on the ground miserably. His face was full of joy and he said loudly, "Thank you, Miss! Xiong Meng will never forget. " Then he said loudly, "Come, arrest all these rebels who dared to kill the City Master. They are really rebellious!"
All the guards' faces were drained of color. As expected, they had become scapegoats. Although they put on a posture of resistance, the Grizzly Bear Clan's guards were well-prepared. Sooner or later, they would die.
Hu Lan said with a smile, "City Master, these are all loyal warriors of the Grizzly Bear Clan. Xiong Yan rebelled and poisoned the City Master. All the guards worked together to kill Xiong Yan. You have to be fair in rewards and punishments. "
Xiong Meng also said with a smile, "Yes, yes. I am not a person who doesn't know right from wrong. All the guards, listen to my order. Those who are loyal and have abandoned the dark will be spared from death. "
Before he finished speaking, the sound of weapons falling to the ground was heard. A large group of guards knelt on the ground and shouted, "We swear to be loyal to the City Master of Xiong Meng. Long live the City Master!"
Zhao Yun saw this flattering scene and felt disgusted, "This group of cowards who are afraid of death!"
She thought about how Hu Lan inverted black and white in front of thousands of people. He was really a deep schemer. She thought to herself, "No wonder when I heard stories when I was young, I always heard that Daji charmed King Zhou and controlled the court. The Heavenly Fox Clan is too scheming. I think this one in front of me is not inferior. "
"Now that I think about it, I have unknowingly become a killing weapon for Hu Qing and her sister to overthrow Xiong Xin's rule. Hmph, Xiong Xin flaunted his great talent, but he actually died in the hands of a conspiracy. It is lamentable. I thought of myself as a hero, but I was also fooled by this fox. "
Zhao Yun carefully recalled the story told by Hu Qing and her sister. She suddenly felt that there were many suspicious points in it. She couldn't help but feel angry and ashamed.
Hu Qing and her sister said that they didn't want to give their virginity to Xiong Xin. From their words, they had already accepted their fate of marrying Xiong Xin. Why did they suddenly want her to kill Xiong Xin? The sisters didn't know her cultivation and swordsmanship, so why did they not consider the consequences of failure and insist on her killing Xiong Xin?
It was all because when she heard that Xiong Xin wanted to eat young grass and dominate Hu Qing and her sister, she was so angry that she agreed without hesitation.
"Maybe they deliberately used their beauty to seduce me and make me willing to work for them. Or maybe they deliberately used me to provoke Xiong Xin, stall for time, and attract his attention so that Xiong Meng would have a chance to gather soldiers and seize the throne. "
However, there was still a voice in Zhao Yun's heart that exonerated these two vixens. "Maybe they were too unwilling to marry Xiong Xin, so they tried their best to get rid of him. Perhaps they had no choice but to befriend Xiong Meng? "She actually couldn't bear to blame Hu Qing and her sister for their" good intentions ".
He coldly looked at the ecstasy, fear, and flattery of the people in the hall. He only felt that it was sad and ridiculous. He didn't want to listen anymore. With a flick of his sleeve, he strode out. All the guards were busy trying to curry favor with the new city lord. How could they have the time to care about him?
Even the Frost Clothed Iron Guards, who claimed to be the most loyal of the city lord's mansion, respectfully knelt in front of Xiong Meng, waiting for their new master's forgiveness. They were still loyal, but the person they were loyal to now was Xiong Meng.
Hu Lan's beautiful eyes never left Zhao Yun. Seeing his expression change, she knew that something was wrong. "Brother, are you angry with me? Why do you have such an expression? "
While she was thinking, Zhao Yun had already rushed out of the door. It was too late to chase after him. She couldn't help but smile bitterly. She still had a lot of things to do in the Solitary Cloud City Lord's mansion. She couldn't separate herself, so she said to Hu Qing, "Sister, quickly go and see brother. I see that he is very unhappy. He might have misunderstood us. "
Hu Qing wasn't stupid. At this time, she finally sorted out all the clues. She rebuked, "Xiao Lan, you mischievous spirit. Why didn't you tell me anything? I already said that I asked you to be the patriarch, but you refused. "
"Don't say this. Quickly go and stabilize brother. Don't let him slip away. Otherwise, if we miss such a good husband, I won't regret it. Sister, you will also regret it. "
Although Xiong Meng was the new city lord, it was all thanks to the Hu Sisters. In the future, he would rely on the Hu Sisters a lot, so he didn't dare to neglect them in the slightest.
Hearing the Hu Sisters' teasing, Xiong Meng said with a smile, "What good husband? Is it that handsome young man just now? He and Miss are really a match made in heaven. Xiong Meng congratulates Miss! "
Hu Qing only felt that thousands of people were looking at her. For no reason, she felt shy and her face flushed. She only said one sentence, "City Lord, I will leave first." Without waiting for Xiong Meng to speak, she hurriedly left the hall.
She ordered the coachman to drive the carriage as fast as possible and hurriedly patted the horse to return to the front of the Hu Residence. However, she heard the courtyard was silent. There was no trace of human voice, only a few quiet sounds of night insects. Hu Qing suddenly felt empty in her heart. Afraid that Zhao Yun had already left, she hurriedly jumped off the carriage and ran through the door with all her strength.
"Husband! Husband! " She shouted again and again, but she didn't get the slightest response from Zhao Yun. She panicked and lost her wits. She didn't pay attention and fell to the ground. Her thin clothes were no match for the ruthless stone. Blood immediately flowed out of her delicate calf.
Hu Qing didn't feel any pain. She struggled to get up. When she raised her head, she saw a big red lantern. She was overjoyed and cried out in surprise, "Husband!"
A small hand reached out to support Hu Qing's arm. She said in a tender voice that was slightly reproachful and full of heartache, "Miss, why didn't you light the lantern and run around? Your body is so precious. Quickly go to the pharmacy and apply some medicine. "
The lantern was filled with bright candlelight. It clearly illuminated the face of the maidservant, Little Taohong.
Hu Qing was full of disappointment but also full of hope. She anxiously asked, "Is that handsome husband still here?"
Little Taohong was at a loss, "What husband? Miss, your leg is bleeding a lot. It must be very painful. "She hurriedly bent over and took out a handkerchief to wipe the bright red blood.
Suddenly, Hu Qing had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Is that black man still in the woodshed?"
Little Taohong pouted and said, "He's still here! It's just that his snoring sounds like thunder. The sisters were all distracted by his noise and could only stuff cotton in their ears. That's why we couldn't hear Miss when she shouted just now. Miss even fell and got injured. Hmph, it's all that guy's fault! "
Hu Qing felt that the sky suddenly brightened. Her heart was overflowing with joy. It was really hard to suppress. She didn't have the heart to listen to Little Taohong's complaints and hurriedly ran towards the woodshed. She said, "Good, very good!" She only hated that the courtyard was too big and the woodshed was too far away. She hated that she didn't have wings and walked too slowly.
Little Taohong was dumbfounded. She didn't know what was wrong with her Miss. She hurriedly followed with the lantern and said with a reluctant expression, "Good, how is it good? That snoring is really torturous! "
She saw her Miss's delicate body running around in the night. Her jade-like arms hit the branches several times, but she didn't stop.
