Brother Monkey apologized again and again. He was almost beaten by a group of people last night, but the stench on his body could not be dissipated for a long time, so no one dared to get close to him. They didn't know if this guy had something dirty on his body.
A few people laughing and joking soon arrived at the city gate. The city gate was open, and there was a lot of people coming and going inside. The bustling noise could be heard in the distance.
Passing through the city gate, you can see a prosperous scene in front of you. The spotless streets are spacious and smooth, and the carriage does not feel bumpy when driving on it. This is far beyond Qin Tian's imagination.
He originally thought that this place should look like Tucheng in Tuqiuzhou, but this bustling and lively appearance is completely opposite to Tucheng. It can even be said that this town is more prosperous than ordinary towns, and the business is
No worse than other places.
"If we hadn't been exposed to wind and sand for so many days, I would have thought we were in some prosperous country."
Brother Monkey was also a little surprised. There were a lot of shops on both sides of the street. The people here were well-dressed and the stalls were selling strange and weird things. I guess they were not isolated from the world.
People walking on the street cast strange looks at these outsiders, but they just looked at them for a few times and ignored them.
It is easy to distinguish outsiders here, because this city is not big, with an estimated population of tens of thousands, and most of the people living here look familiar.
For example, Hong Yu and the others were carrying luggage on their backs and had traces of long journeys. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that they were from out of town.
There are not many people like Qin Tian and others who have found this place. Because of its remote location and the fact that there is nothing attractive, not many people usually set foot here.
It is not easy for a few people to find an inn here. After asking passers-by several times, they finally found a decent inn. Considering that there are few outsiders here, it is natural that there are not many inns.
"Shopkeeper, your place is so lively. It's amazing that you can manage this city in such a desolate place."
Qin Tian and the others found an inn and got in. The shopkeeper who had customers coming to the shop quickly started working diligently. While pouring tea for everyone, Hong Yu couldn't help but praise him. In fact, he also wanted to learn from the shopkeeper.
Explore the information here with your mouth.
Hearing the praise from outsiders, the shopkeeper also showed pride on his face and said with a smile, "This is all thanks to the blessing of the new city lord. Our place used to be in chaos, with smashing, looting and burning happening from time to time. Everyone was carrying it."
We have been living a hard life in our heads, but since the new city lord drove away the old city lord, our life is getting better day by day, and it can be considered that all the hardships have come to an end."
At the end of the story, the shopkeeper let out a long sigh, and then smiled, his face full of happiness, giving people a feeling of surviving after a disaster.
Brother Monkey asked, "Oh? Who is your city lord? Is he so capable?"
The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Of course you people from out of town don't know that our city lord is named Wu Rui, and he is also a native of this place. No one thought that he would become a strong Martial King. Without him, we would not be able to get rid of the old city lord's darkness."
’s rule.”
Qin Tian gave a stool to the former and said, "Come, sit down and talk to us. You, the city lord, can be considered a legend. Tell us about what's going on here."
The shopkeeper waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Isn't this appropriate? You are guests, and I have to go down and make food for you."
Brother Hou knew what Qin Tian meant, so when he came to someone else's territory, he naturally wanted to know what was going on here, so as not to know which force he had offended.
Brother Monkey pulled the shopkeeper to the stool and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, your words have whetted our appetite. Come tell us the story here!"
Seeing that Qin Tian and the others persisted, and this was not a secret that could not be told, the shopkeeper luckily sat down to recall the past and talk about it...
Nearly ten years ago, the people living here were starved of food and clothing. Simple mud houses could be seen everywhere. People even died every day for food and water. Coupled with a cruel city lord, the people living here
Almost desperate.
In order to survive, many people worked day and night under the old city lord's lust, building a magnificent palace for him in exchange for a small amount of water and food.
At that time, the new city lord, who the shopkeeper called Wu Rui, offended the city lord's son and was arrested and imprisoned by the soldiers in the city.
The son of the city lord was more cruel than his father and often tortured others for fun. Wu Rui was tortured to death in prison. However, fortunately, he was smart enough. After being tortured for a long time, he escaped at night without the jailer paying attention.
come out.
When he and his family escaped from here overnight, the old city lord's son caught up with them with his pursuers. After a fight, Wu Rui was seriously injured and all his relatives died. The pursuers and the old city lord's son also paid the price.
.
After that, the old city lord went crazy and sent people to search for Wu Rui to avenge his son. That period became a nightmare for most people.
The old city lord who lost his son was almost crazy. Whether it was his opponents or the people here, blood would be splashed on the spot if something went wrong. Some people couldn't bear the constant threat of death and chose to run away. But how could these people escape?
Escaped from the palm of a strong Martial King.
After being captured, they were all tortured, skinned and cramped, and their limbs were buttonholed or mutilated.
The frantic old city lord was thinking of ways to torture people all the time. Now that he recalled that unbearable time, the shopkeeper felt a chill running down his back.
Everyone listened with great fascination. As soon as the shopkeeper stopped, Brother Monkey couldn't wait to ask, "What happened next?"
After taking a sip of tea, the shopkeeper continued to recall...
Four years ago, four years after City Lord Wu Rui disappeared, when he reappeared he had become the mighty King of Martial Arts. A world-shaking war began, and everyone prayed that Wu Rui could defeat the cruel King.
The old city lord.
After two days and two nights of fighting, the city was littered with casualties, and nine out of ten houses were destroyed. In the end, Wu Rui relied on his perseverance to severely injure the old city lord, and he also suffered considerable internal injuries.
As a strong man who is also a Martial King, it is not easy for Wu Rui to completely kill the old city lord. With both sides injured, the old city lord fled in a panic, and everyone knows this truth.
