Looking at the absent-minded Ximen Lone Star, Li Xiuyuan said quietly: "Listen, after this moment, you and I are no longer brothers!"

"Why?" Ximen Lone Star grabbed his arm and said.

"Alas!" Li Xiuyuan sighed and said, "It's going to rain, and your body is too weak to bear the wind and rain in this city. Listen to me, stay at home and practice, and don't interfere with my affairs.

"

He glanced at Ximen Lone Star and knew that this storm had nothing to do with him, and he could not cause it.

"I didn't expect that I would make you jump into a pit of fire. How about you leave Ding'an City now before it's too late."

After all, Ximen Lone Star was different from Huangfu Qingmei. He couldn't bear to see Li Xiuyuan collapse and couldn't help but persuade him to leave quickly.

"I can't leave. Since he has already arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, even if I am innocent, they can turn me into black. Besides, I have never thought about escaping."

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "Remember, even if the sky falls, what does it have to do with you?!"

"Do they dare?" Ximen Guxing looked at Li Xiuyuan's confused face and whispered: "If it doesn't work, I will run out of the wilderness with you and run to the other side. There will always be room for us, right?"

"You are so cute and stupid. Live your life well with your princess and try to become a father soon... The few jars of wine I brewed will last for a few more years, so don't be in a hurry to drink it."

Seeing Ximen Lone Star's desperate expression, Li Xiuyuan replied calmly.

Ximen Lone Star shook his head and said, "Princess, how can you expect to become a mother so soon?"

Li Xiuyuan was stunned, glared at him fiercely, and couldn't help but laugh: "By the way, you are a man, okay? When did you become like a girl?"

...

As soon as the carriage entered the city lord's mansion, Ximen Lone Star called him to a stop. He pulled Li Xiuyuan slowly towards the mansion. He wanted to say a few more words to Li Xiuyuan in case something unexpected happened next.

"No matter what they ask for a while, don't admit it." Ximen Lone Star said aggrievedly: "As long as you don't admit it, my father is the one who makes the decision here, so it's not difficult for them to dare to do it for you."

Li Xiuyuan sighed and said softly: "Don't make things difficult for your father. Just let nature take its course."

"Can anything happen to you? The princess and I are still waiting to explore that place with you. It won't take long."

Ximen Lone Star finally remembered something, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said.

"If I am still alive, I will go with you two, don't be afraid."

Arriving outside the flower hall of the City Lord's Mansion, I saw dozens of Void-Breaking Realm monks standing at the door, looking at the two of them as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

...

It's a gloomy day and the heat is unbearable.

Li Xiuyuan grabbed Ximen Lone Star who was walking in front of him, shook his head and pushed him away. Looking at the dozens of Void-Breaking Realm monks in front of him, he shook his head and walked into the flower hall.

"Go back and find your wife. This sunny day is just the right time to practice love!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Xiuyuan had disappeared at the door of the flower hall.

Ximen Lone Star stood blankly outside the door of the flower hall, watching Li Xiuyuan's frail figure getting farther and farther away, his face already pale, and he muttered something he didn't know what he was saying.

A piece of summer flower fell down and landed on his open palm, and a faint fragrance hit his nostrils.

Before Ximen Lone Star could regain his senses, a group of monks blocked the door of the flower hall as if facing a formidable enemy.

I don't know if he was afraid that the young master from Ding'an City would rush in, but it was the young man in a long gown like snow who rushed out.

...

"I heard that the city lord has something to do with the common people?" Li Xiuyuan frowned and looked at Ximen Tingxue and the three cold middle-aged men sitting in the flower hall.

Ximen Tingxue, who was sitting in the flower hall, looked at Li Xiuyuan who looked calm, and replied in a deep voice: "It's me and it's not."

Li Xiuyuan was slightly surprised, his face gradually became colder, he looked at him and continued: "I wonder what the common people have done, why do you bother the Lord of the City to put up such a big showdown?!"

Ximen Tingxue shook his head and said, "These are the generals from Wangtian City who want to ask you something."

After speaking, he pointed at one of the middle-aged men in armor with a cold face and said: "This is Master Long Izumo of Wangtian City, and this is Master Yan Zili of Yan Mansion..."

While he was talking, several middle-aged men in the flower hall looked at Li Xiuyuan, who was wearing a white shirt, and frowned. What kind of trouble could a young man in the early stage of the distraction realm cause?

Bianlong Izuyun even suspected that he was deceived.

Ximen Tingxue was dressed in casual clothes today, without a trace of the majesty of a city lord. He looked like a middle-aged man at home, and looked at Li Xiuyuan indifferently.

"My lords, I don't know what the common people have done, but they have bothered to drive thousands of miles from Wangtian City to Ding'an City, which really frightened the common people."

Li Xiuyuan cupped hands with the four people in front of him and said softly. He didn't have the aura of the Distracting Realm at all, but rather looked like a practitioner in the late Nascent Soul Realm.

A look of doubt flashed across Long Izuyun's face, but that look disappeared quickly.

Looking at Li Xiuyuan in front of him, he asked coldly: "Who is here? How long did you stay in Wangtian City last winter, and what did you do there? Call him quickly and save me the trouble and effort!"

When Li Xiuyuan saw that the person who came was not kind, his words suddenly changed and the expression on his face suddenly turned cold.

"My Excellency Shura, I went to Fucheng last year to attend the wedding of the Grand Marshal Princess... and then lived in Wangtian City for some days. From the time I entered to the time I left, there were records of the case. Why don't you go to the Four Seasons Building to ask Aunt Hong for details?

clear?"

Ximen Tingxue didn't seem to like Li Xiuyuan's current attitude very much, and she looked a little hesitant.

Yan Zili, the deputy general of the Yan Mansion, took over the topic: "Shura, how many days did you stay in Wangtian City, and where did you go during these days?"

Li Xiuyuan was startled for a moment and then replied: "How many days have I been here? How can I remember? Are you going to check the entry and exit records of the city gate? I can't fly out... I only went outside the market to eat two bowls of beef noodles.

, and have been living and eating in the Four Seasons Building ever since.”

Long Chuyun glanced at Ximen Tingxue who was sitting next to him, and continued to ask: "You won't forget the things you did in Wangcheng City so quickly, right? The City Lord and Elder Yan have not forgotten it!

"

"What do you mean by saying this? Do you want to frame the poor people? The entire Four Seasons Building, ladies and gentlemen, can testify that from the moment you entered the building to the time you left, you never left the door."

Li Xiuyuan was too lazy to pay attention to the three people in front of him. He walked aside and sat down, reaching out to pick up the teacup prepared for him at the table.

"If Shura has something to say, it is the responsibility of the three adults to track down the culprit."

Ximen Tingxue, who was sitting aside, spoke calmly, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.

Yan Zili heard it, and it seemed that if the three of them had no real evidence, they might not be able to take the Shura in front of them from Ding'an City to Wangtian City.

This look fell into Long Chuyun's eyes, and he couldn't help but said coldly: "You, a monk, are not on the battlefield of the Great Wall, and you hide in Ding'an City. What are you if you are not a deserter?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan gently placed the tea cup in his hand on the table and sighed softly.

Looking at Long Chuyun, he replied coldly: "Where were the three adults when I was working hard on the battlefield of the Great Wall? You might as well go to the military headquarters in Fucheng to find out why I came back to Ding'an City to rest!"

Before Long Izuyun could reply, Li Xiuyuan continued: "Could it be that you have to see the soldiers on the front line die on the battlefield one by one and dye the official hat on your head red with our flesh and blood before you are willing to give up?!"

Yan Zili listened to Li Xiuyuan talking to himself, and felt bitter in his heart. He secretly thought about why he didn't bring two girls and guys from the Four Seasons Building with him when he went out. With their testimony, this guy would never dare to act so boldly.

Ximen Tingxue was deeply moved after hearing what Li Xiuyuan said.

The soldiers on the front line suffered heavy casualties, which was exactly what he didn't want to hear or see. Unexpectedly, these two guys quarreled with Li Xiuyuan because of this matter, and even violated the taboos of many soldiers without knowing it.

Thinking of this, Ximen Tingxue raised his head and said: "Ding'an City has also recorded Shura's incident at the Great Wall. He came back to rest after being injured. There is no problem."

Seeing the Lord of the City speaking, Long Chuyun and Yan Zili naturally couldn't continue talking about this matter. If they continued talking, it would be their turn to be embarrassed.

After all, none of the monks in front of me had been on the battlefield of the Great Wall.

Even if Li Xiuyuan scolded them for being greedy for life and afraid of death, they would not be able to say a word.

Naturally, Long Chuyun couldn't help but let it go. He looked at Li Xiuyuan and replied coldly: "Even so, we have to wait until we invite a group of people from Wangtian City to Ding'an City before you can be cleared of suspicion!"

"So that's it. It turns out that as long as you suspect someone, you can grab him from the street and bring him into the yamen for interrogation. If you don't get what you want, you will be served with a sword at any time. Life or death is uncertain?"

Li Xiuyuan looked at the three people in front of him and slammed the table excitedly, shouting: "Take out the identity cards of the three generals and let me see how many military exploits you have made on the battlefield of the Great Wall?!"

After saying these words, with a "pop!" sound, he put his identity plate on the table, looked at Ximen Tingxue and said: "Let the city lord check it to see who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and who is here?"

Fight for your life on the front line!"

Seeing Li Xiuyuan put the iron plate on the table, both Long Chuyun and Yan Zili were stunned and speechless. How could they dare to pick up the iron plate in front of them?

If Ximen Tingxue is really allowed to check it out, the three of them will have to immediately mobilize the Great Wall.

There is an iron rule in the wilderness. Whether a general or a soldier, he must have a record of fighting on the Great Wall.

However, over the past thousand years, this rule has long become a situation where the people do not complain and the officials do not investigate.

But seeing that Li Xiuyuan had opened the door, even if they were the defenders of Wangtian City, they did not dare to take out their battle records for inspection in front of Ximen Tingxue.

To put it bluntly, this is asking for death!

The three of them looked at the furious Li Xiuyuan and were speechless for a moment, and the flower hall fell silent for a while.

"Even so, there must be an explanation." As if he guessed what Li Xiuyuan was thinking, Long Chuyun said coldly: "This is a barbaric rule. You can only leave the City Lord's Mansion after I have invited people from the Four Seasons Building.

.”

Li Xiuyuan sat quietly on the chair, knowing what the two men wanted to do, but he deliberately refused to answer.

Seemingly angry at Li Xiuyuan's performance, Yan Zili asked coldly: "It will take at least three to four days to go back and forth from Wangtian City. I will have to wrong you in these few days."

Li Xiuyuan ignored the two of them, but looked at Ximen Tingxue quietly, and asked lightly: "What is the city lord's intention?"

Ximen Tingxue was stunned, looked at Li Xiuyuan quietly and replied: "As a rule, you have to stay in the prison these days, waiting for people from Wangtian City to come and clear your suspicion..."

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he burst into laughter: "Is the prison in Ding'an City originally used to imprison the women who robbed people and the meritorious men who fought on the Great Wall?"

Looking at Ximen Tingxue who was speechless, Li Xiuyuan continued: "If so, I am willing to follow the arrangements of the Lord of the City. However, it is easier to ask the gods than to send them away... You have to think carefully about today's cause and tomorrow's result.

Got it!"

After saying this, Li Xiuyuan stopped looking at the three of them. He stood up and walked out of the flower hall. Looking at a group of frightened monks in black, he said coldly: "Lead the way!"
