"If you live high in a temple, you worry about the people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you worry about the king. It sounds really nice to say, but how sincere is it?"
In Wushuang City, Dugu Ming was pacing in the hall, sneering repeatedly but showing hesitation on his face.
More than a year ago, 100,000 elite members of the Tianxiahui came out to first destroy Mongolia, escort the dragons, then destroy the White Lotus Sect, and then enter Shanhaiguan to resist the Japanese invasion.
When the news came, he just thought it was a fantasy. How could he not know about the ambition of a dominating wolf who had been fighting openly and secretly with Wushuang City for twenty years?
If it is said that Xiong Ba is plotting rebellion, then Dugu Ming will not be surprised at all. He protects King Long Qin, protects his family and country, and has a red-blooded heart. Is this still the Xiong Ba that I know...
But soon, he discovered that Xiongba was still the same Xiongba.
"The tyrant, treacherous, and cunning, has great plans. As the first Jianghu person to surrender, the emperor reciprocates the favor. He is very trusting. Even if he makes a mistake, he will quickly get back his favor. He has established a firm foothold in the court. Even the civil servants come to us.
Wushuang City shows its good will. If this continues, the world will rely on the power of the imperial court. How can we, Wushuang City, resist it? I’m afraid it’s really in danger of destruction!”
With deep worries, Dugu Ming finally made up his mind and came to the backyard of the city lord's mansion.
"come out!"
He walked to a waterfall and rockery and transmitted his voice inside.
Whoosh!
A figure broke through the waterfall and came to Dugu Ming. He had a broad forehead and deep eyes, neat beard and beard, and an extraordinary bearing: "I wonder what the important matter is for me to call you, young city lord?"
The attendants had already retreated. If this scene were seen by outsiders, it would definitely cause an uproar.
Because this respectful figure is clearly the lord of Wushuang City, Dugu Yifang, who is also Dugu Ming's father, but their status is completely opposite.
The answer will be revealed next
"Thank you for your hard work, pretending to be my father all the time."
Dugu Ming nodded and said: "Is there any news about Beast Heart? What is the current situation of the world?"
Wushuang City has two great protectors on the surface, Shi Wu Zun and Phantom Demon. In fact, there are two great protectors secretly, the Human-Faced Envoy and the Beast-Hearted Ghost.
These four people are all top-notch masters in the world and are loyal to Wushuang City.
Twenty years ago, when the real Dugu Yifang disappeared, Wushuang would be in turmoil, so the human masker used the art of disguise to pretend to be Dugu Yifang and take charge of the overall situation.
However, his martial arts are not the same as those of Dugu Yifang, and he can only hide in seclusion from time to time. This is also the reason why Wushuang City has a profound foundation, but it is suppressed by the Tianxia Society and cannot raise its head.
Fortunately, after Dugu Ming came of age and gradually took charge, Wushuang City passed the most difficult stage.
The human-faced messenger and the beast-hearted ghost are twin brothers, but they can communicate with each other spiritually. The beast-hearted ghost will lurk in the world, pretending to be the hegemon's henchman, and sending out news continuously.
Now that Dugu Ming has come to inquire, he has actually made up his mind to know himself and the enemy and formulate a strategy.
The human-faced envoy said: "Young City Lord, chaos has arisen in the world. The tyrants are focused on the court. Qin Shuang, the leader of Tianshuang Hall, is traveling among the ten major sects. Nie Fengyun, the leader of Shenfeng Hall, is wandering outside. The master of Feiyun Hall is frightened.
The clouds are moving frequently, and there are undercurrents surging in the Tianshan Mountains..."
"Bu Jingyun is not an ambitious person. I'm afraid this is a trick by suspicious soldiers to deliberately lead us into an ambush!"
Dugu Ming was startled and doubtful, and the human-faced envoy thought for a while and said: "Young City Master, you still remember that last year when he dominated Conglong, he urgently recruited good helmsmen within a month, and the Chamber of Commerce's fleet suffered serious losses as a result."
"Of course I remember!"
Dugu Ming said: "At that time, I even thought that Xiong Ba's escort from the dragon was a spur-of-the-moment idea, not a long-planned plan!"
"What if it's really a last-minute decision?"
The human-faced envoy said: "Young City Master, in March last year, someone presented the spiritual beast Fire Monkey. I found out his identity and he is from the Longmen Inn!"
"Fire Monkey? Longmen Inn?"
Dugu Ming had forgotten about the fire monkey, but he didn't expect that Longmen Inn would come to Wushuang City and offer the fire monkey.
"He's very well-behaved! Bring him up!"
Dugu Ming's vanity was greatly satisfied. He lost the fire monkey at Longmen Inn, but the other party didn't dare to take it for himself, and even sent it back thousands of miles away. Isn't this a sign of great prestige?
"Bring it up!"
Not long after, the waiter Shunzi entered the house, bringing with him the strange beast Fire Monkey.
He was originally the one who was welcomed and sent away. In more than a year, he has integrated into Wushuang City, and there is no trace of the former gangster clerk.
"Very good! There is a reward!"
Dugu Ming teased the Fire Monkey and asked casually: "You have already obtained the Fire Monkey, and yet you eagerly offer it to him. It seems that you have given up on the Clay Bodhisattva. You are very wise. I have never believed in the so-called fortune tellers from the beginning to the end. How can they really do it?"
One word tells the truth!"
Shunzi nodded and bowed: "Young City Lord Mingjian, we have suffered a lot, and we dare not leave this scourge behind again! After the Young City Lord left that night, there was a man in black who came forward and took it from the hands of the two hall masters Tianshuang Shenfeng.
, it is easy to intercept the Clay Bodhisattva, if we dare to keep the Fire Monkey in that posture, we are guaranteed to die a violent death!"
Dugu Ming was startled, and after recalling it, he was sure that the Clay Bodhisattva's limbs were all gone: "The Clay Bodhisattva is already a useless person, and he was still kidnapped?"
Shunzi said: "Yes! The man in black is very powerful in martial arts. He broke the Fengshen's leg in three moves and two moves. Even the master of Tianshuang Hall didn't dare to chase him. He said that it's hard to be a teacher, and the Clay Bodhisattva can still hold a pen in his mouth.
of……"
"Wait!"
The speaker was "unintentional" but the listener was intentional. Dugu Ming's expression changed and he asked in detail about the details of the Ni Bodhisattva being snatched away. He quickly guessed that the man in black was Xiong Ba.
It turned out that the Xiongba came in person that night, and Dugu Ming felt a little scared. Listening to the fire monkey's squeaking call, the fog suddenly dispersed.
Clay Buddha!
A person's temperament can suddenly change drastically. Only the Clay Bodhisattva who has discovered the secrets of heaven can do this.
"Xiongba suddenly entered the court. It turned out that he got the guidance of Ni Bodhisattva. So I missed a good opportunity! Then the world will be empty, and I should have invaded the Western Regions long ago!"
He was shocked and annoyed: "No! It's not too late to make amends. Now that the hegemony has not completely succeeded, we will not be able to let him get what he wants!"
Determined, Wushuang City mobilized from top to bottom.
"Young City Master, two thousand unparalleled divine crossbows have been prepared!"
Soon Duanlang came excitedly to report, but saw Dugu Ming fetching a thousand-mile horse and looking like he was about to leave the city. He asked doubtfully: "Young City Lord, what are you doing at this time?"
"In this battle, my Wushuang City will definitely have to decide the winner with the Tianxiahui!"
There was a sparkle in Dugu Ming's eyes: "I'm going to invite someone, someone who will surely perish if he takes action!"
…
…
"When my Wushuang City is in danger of life and death, I beg you, uncle, to help me!"
Outside the thatched hut, Dugu Ming knelt for a whole day and night, pleading in a mournful tone.
Finally, a sonorous and cold sound, like the sound of countless swords, came from the house, with indescribable loneliness and regret:
"Forget it, I'm approaching the end of my life, so let's use the last sword in this life!"
