Hearing Yi Feng's name mentioned, the city general was stunned for a moment and seemed to be moved. However, with the next breath, his eyes became dim and he did not say a word.
That expression was so subtle that no one noticed anything unusual at all. They continued to follow the topic, and the discussion became louder and louder.
"Yes, if we can invite that person, we in Yecheng may be able to turn the crisis around!"
"This is a way. I heard that Mr. Yi has a high level of cultivation. If we can help, our chances of winning will definitely increase!"
"Without further delay, let's quickly send someone to ask for Mr. Yi!"
"Lord City Lord, what do you think?"
The controversy quickly subsided, and everyone turned to look at the host who had never spoken.
At the critical moment in Yecheng, they ignored everything. Even if they had never met Yi Feng, they regarded him as a life-saving straw.
Even if the hope was small, it gave the whole audience hope again.
At this much-anticipated moment.
Before the city lord could make a final decision, the eldest lady spoke coldly and poured cold water on everyone!
"Everyone."
"Don't worry about Mr. Yi, he won't help you at all."
Who won't take action?
Why is the eldest lady so sure?
The whole audience was stunned and looked suspicious.
Although there is a complex look of doubt and loss on their faces, hope is right in front of them, and most people are unwilling to give up.
After a brief silence.
The sound of controversy resounded again, and the eyes of everyone who continued to salute became even more anxious!
"That senior doesn't know how to take action, so how can we start talking about this?"
"Hey, a big shot like that may not necessarily be willing to take action. Intervening in a battle in a small town like ours would be a loss of identity."
"No matter what, we have to give it a try!"
"That makes sense. That senior Martial Emperor is our last hope. No matter what the cost, we must try our best to ask for him!"
…
The group of people became more and more anxious as they talked, with desperate determination in their eyes.
At this moment, it seems that as long as they can ask Mr. Yi to take action, they can ignore anything and fight for this glimmer of hope, which is more important than anything else!
Seeing the determined Yecheng giants in the audience, Chen Yuxin fell helplessly into silence.
She knows Mr. Yi's strength better than anyone else. If she takes action, it is not difficult to turn the tide. However, they have offended that senior one after another, and their last chance has been cut off long ago.
If you can ask for help, why bother here?
It's really your own fault and you can't live.
The more Chen Yuxin thought about it, the more regretful she became. Listening to the anxious voices arguing in the hall, she felt so confused that she even lost the courage to speak.
It wasn't until the Lord of the City finally spoke up that the chaotic scene calmed down a little.
"Everyone."
As soon as there was a deep sound, everyone listened and paid attention.
Chen Cangyun, who was sitting in the big chair, still looked as calm as ever. He seemed to be no different from before. Everything was under control. His posture was as steady as a mountain, and he immediately calmed the whole audience.
The scene finally became reluctantly quiet.
The giants of Yecheng waited patiently, waiting for the city lord's best plan.
But when Chen Cangyun spoke again, everyone looked at each other in shock.
"Now our city of Ye is suffering from war, with both soldiers and civilians dead and wounded. The top priority is to stabilize people's hearts. Please work together to show your talents. Defending the city cannot be delayed. Everything in the city cannot be ignored. From today on, all major families must allocate manpower.
, to assist in the dispatch and transportation of grain and grass to ensure the daily expenses of the army and the people. People also need to be sent to clean up and repair the collapsed houses and roads in the city."
"The war is about to break out. We must put the people of Yecheng first. No matter what happens, we must not mess up our position. No matter what happens to anyone, we must not abandon the city and flee."
"If something unexpected happens to me, Chen Cangyun, Song Hailiang will be the next lord of Ye City!"
After these words were spoken, the whole audience was greatly surprised.
Faced with such a critical situation, the Lord of the City did not mention the key decision of asking for Mr. Yi's aid. Instead, he arranged all kinds of trivial matters in the city, and even announced the appointment of the new Lord of the City at this moment.
Why do these words sound weird?
Even Song Hailiang, the head of the Song family, was suddenly appointed as the next city lord. He couldn't react at once and couldn't think too much. He only looked confused.
Everyone was about to say something, but Chen Cangyun had already stood up and left.
"Everyone."
"Today's discussion ends here. I hope everyone will do their part to protect the stability of Yecheng."
Looking at the back of the city lord getting up and leaving, even if the Yecheng giants looked puzzled, they had no chance to speak out. They had to say goodbye and dispersed with suspicion.
The hall suddenly became extremely deserted.
Chen Yuxin was left alone to sit in a daze, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
She always felt that her father's remarks just now were very strange. Compared with his previous domineering and strong style, the more she thought about it, the more strange it became. Even if she went back to the boudoir to sit alone, she would still be confused.
Just when she stood up nervously and stood quietly by the window, the door opened gently.
The person who walked in was her father, who suddenly felt strange to her.
The majesty of the past was gone, and there were no dignified formations shouting in front of or behind. Only a single person stepped in calmly, holding a mahogany tray in his hand.
Chen Yuxin's eyes looked dull.
Is the peaceful appearance in front of her still her extremely majestic city lord father?
Don't wait for her to say anything.
But Chen Cangyun entered the room steadily with a smile, placed the tray firmly on the small round table, took out the small bowl of clear soup on the tray with his own hands, then sat down with a smile, raised his eyes and spoke.
"Xin'er, please take a seat quickly."
That kind of loving look made Chen Yuxin even more surprised.
Taking a look at the clear soup on the table, she widened her beautiful eyes in disbelief.
"Father……"
"Why, how come you suddenly..."
Chen Cangyun smiled and nodded, with a bit of kindness in his eyes.
"Isn't this your favorite sturgeon soup?"
"I remember that you always liked to drink it when you were a child. Later, when your father became the Lord of Ye City, he was surrounded by mundane things all day long, and he really didn't have time to stew this clear soup. Now that I think about it, my father has indeed been a little neglectful of you in these years. Don't do it.
I blame my father."
Listen to this.
Chen Yuxin felt a surge of sadness and indescribable mixed feelings in her heart.
Looking at the clear soup on the table in front of her, all the feelings she had suppressed for many years came out in an instant. Unconsciously, her eyes sparkled, and she quietly sat down and carefully picked up the spoon.
A bowl of clear soup is better than all kinds of praise for her achievements, and it seems to bring her back to the happiest and simplest time, enjoying the long-lost family affection and father's love.
this moment.
It was as if she was no longer a noble young lady, but just the innocent little girl she once was.
The clear soup is as delicious as before.
It still has the same taste as before, and the same warmth as before.
After only a few sips, the simple joys buried deep in my memory surged out of my heart at this moment. The delicacies from the mountains and seas that I had tasted were far less fragrant than this clear soup.
The father and daughter sat speechless, with long-lost smiles in each other's eyes.
Even if it takes a long time for a bowl of clear soup to reach the bottom.
On Chen Yuxin's beautiful face, there was only indescribable emotion and joy. She no longer had the cold look in the past. Her whole person felt indescribable warmth and emotion, as well as some unsatisfied regrets. It seemed that this bowl of clear soup was priceless.
, makes her happier than any treasure.
But when she looked up with tears in her eyes, there was no one in front of her.
The father's face that accompanied him with a smile just now has disappeared. Apart from the cold night breeze blowing through the doors and windows, there are only the faint cries of the people in the distance.
suddenly.
Listening to the cries, Chen Yuxin felt her heart twisting, her hands trembled, and the spoon fell to the ground in an instant!
"Crack!"
As the spoon shattered into pieces, an extremely bad premonition flooded Chen Yuxin's brief surprise like a river. She stood up suddenly as if she had been awakened from a dream, her face turned pale!
"Father? Father!"
No matter how she screamed and searched, her father was no longer anywhere in the City Lord's Mansion.
Far away in the night sky.
Chen Cangyun looked down at the tragic situation in Yecheng, with a complicated expression in his eyes. Until he heard vague shouts, he quickly gritted his teeth and retracted the last of his vision, turned around with a determined face, and shot into the clouds!
By the Luo River.
The moon is dark and the wind is high.
Chen Cangyun, who had landed on the ground, stood quietly with his hands behind his hands, his eyes slightly closed, letting the cold wind blow on his face. The cold look on his face never wavered, and a terrifying fighting spirit escaped from his sword eyebrows.
The surroundings became colder and colder, and everything was eerily silent.
until.
Several figures fell from the sky, and the silent night was completely broken by laughter!
"Hahaha……"
"Chen Cangyun, how dare you fight against us alone? Are you seeking your own death?!"
