The Fallen: Demon Slayer

In the main mansion of Jiangyang City, a big tripod stands in the middle of the courtyard, and the tripod is full of water.

Under the command of MuQing, Xu Guang, the city's deputy general, wakes up the city leader Li bang and throws him directly into the cauldron.

MuQing stands at the entrance of the hall. Gongsun Xue holds the Dragon killing gun and watches Li Bang recover.

"Poof..."

Li Bang spat out a few salivas, his legs knew as well as he could, and his head just came out of the water.

"What do you mean, young man? I'm the Lord of the city appointed by the imperial court. We have something to discuss! " Li Bang is quite nervous. Seeing that the deputy general guarding the city all around respects MuQing extremely, he quickly asks for a reminder.

Mu Qing sneered and said, "use the imperial court to suppress me? The immortal son of Emperor Tang was almost killed by me. You, the leader of Jiangyang City, died in my hands. Who dares to impeach my son in the court? "

"Ah! You're right. You're the son of the king of backers. I didn't know that before. I've offended a lot. Young master, please let me go. I'm sure I will meet all the requirements. " Li bang was nervous and seemed to understand the situation he was about to face.

MuQing ignored Li Bang's request for mercy. "Next, I'll ask you a few questions. If your answer makes me dissatisfied, I'll light a fire under the tripod. It's about five flames, and you'll be boiled to death. So, what do you mean? "

"I understand! If the officer has five problems that make him dissatisfied, he will die immediately. " Li Bang swallowed and gasped.

Chest and abdomen in sleep, Li Bang has become increasingly difficult to breathe.

Veteran generals like Xu Xing and Liao Ming feel strange when they see that Li Bang is so cowardly. How can such a cowardly City Lord resist so many animal tides before?

"The first question is, where does your treasure come from? Tell me in detail." Mu Qing opens his mouth and directly asks the biggest doubt in his heart.

Li Bang didn't hide anything. He replied surprisingly frankly: "about 30% of the money comes from gifts from merchants, and 70% of it comes from my greed."

All the lieutenants were indignant when they heard that the leader of Li Bang admitted that he was greedy for money. In the past, they have been deprived of military pay. Although they have not been deprived much, the total amount of military pay deducted by each soldier is at least 100000 copper coins.

"70% of the money is greedy, what is the means used?" MuQing continues to ask.

Li bangdun was stunned, his eyes whirled and hesitated for half a breath before he was ready to speak.

"Xueer, put a fire snake." Mu Qing squints and directly asks Gongsun Xue to set fire.

Li Bang's hesitation proves that he wants to lie. MuQing is not a good man or woman. He has no time to fight with Li bang. If he doesn't tell the truth, he's not kidding.

Hoo

The fire snake shoots from the Dragon Slayer gun and burns at the bottom of the tripod. The water temperature rises a lot in an instant.

"I said, I said! Of the 70%, 20% came from the accounts, and 50% came from the relief food money from Chengdu! " Li Bang clenched his teeth, panted and endured the rising water temperature.

Just a fire snake is unbearable for ordinary people. No matter how high the water temperature is, it's easy to faint.

"Daddy At the wing room, two children suddenly ran out, and a man and a woman rushed to Dading.

"Stop them, the temperature of the tripod is very high, it will burn!" Gongsun Xue is shocked and reminds Liao ming to hold the child.

Mu Qing squinted, saw the two children, and said, "Li bang, is this your child?"

"Ah Qing!" Gongsun snow dissatisfaction, think MuQing to the children.

"Yes, yes..." Li bang was dizzy and tried to clench his teeth.

Mu nodded and said, "it's not as bad as your wife and children. Your problem hasn't been found out. It won't let you die. You guys take the kids inside and don't see what's going on. Whether Li Bang will die or not depends on whether he tells the truth. It's painful to be boiled to death. Xueer, stop the fire first. Don't scare the two children. "

After hearing MuQing's words, gongsunxue immediately took back the fire snake, but the water temperature in the cauldron did not drop rapidly.

Juding is hotter than the water temperature, and the water temperature will continue to rise, but the speed is relatively slow.

Xu Guang quickly picked up the two children and took them to the wing room. He could not let them see what happened next.

"Think about it. Your mistakes are not small, but they can be made up. If it's cooked alive, what about your child? I ask you, did Qingcheng send some means to create the animal tide in Jiangyang, so that you can earn the relief food from Chengdu? " Mu Qing squinted and directly asked the inside story of the animal tide.

Li bangdun didn't know how to answer, as if he was afraid of something. In his eager hesitation, he showed his anxiety and fear that it was difficult to choose between the two.

Mu Qing could understand what Li Bang wanted to say, and also understood the real inside story. Many animal tides are caused by human factors, and the purpose is to take this opportunity to earn money for disaster relief.

Although Li Bang is the Lord of the city, he is a mortal after all. He can't cause a tide of animals. The person who can cause the animal tide must be a strong warrior, and I don't know one, at least ten. It's not hard to guess that a big sect is making trouble.

"Qingcheng school?" MuQing understood that Li Bang did not dare to speak up, so he asked in another way.

Li Bang shook his head and said, "it's not the Qingcheng sect or the Shushan sword sect! Is... I dare not say, said will die! Guess for yourself, there are only four or five big forces in Bashu that can trigger animal tide? You let me go, I really can't say any more! I can give all my money to the common people and soldiers. Just let me go... "

Li bang was anxious and impatient. He asked for forgiveness, but he fell into a coma before he finished speaking.

Mu Qingleng hums and raises his hand to pull Li bang out of the cauldron and put him on the ground.

"Not dead, but half dead. Get a doctor and protect it. All the city guards and the veterans of the tiger eating army stay, and the others are waiting outside. " Mu Qing squints and orders the others to go out.

Ordinary soldiers don't obey MuQing's orders. After all, they don't know who MuQing is. The city's deputy generals sent orders one after another, ordering their soldiers to wait outside the city's main residence.

"Liao Ming, from today on, you will be the city leader of Jiangyang. I came to Bashu to deal with other things, and I will come back when I finish. Before that, you have to guarantee that Li Bang will not die. There is also a rumor that the disciples of relegated immortals have come to Bashu again and now live in Jiangyang city. " MuQing turns to walk into the hall and sits down on the throne.

"Yes! Don't worry, young master. I will do it well. " Liao Ming takes orders and immediately calls his old friend to take his son with him to deal with the matter.

"As for other people, first resist the tide of animals, the people in small counties. The city of Jiangyang is OK. The people in the small county are seriously injured. First, they sell off the luxury goods of Li Bang's family to relieve the disaster. "

"Young master Gao Yi!" The other city guards are very happy and stare at Li bang in disgust.

"Smelly boy, it's called young master. The father of the young Lord was once a hero who led us to the Central Plains. It's disrespectful to call him childe. " The adjutant's father reprimanded his son.

"Ah, the little Lord is righteous." The Deputy General of the garrison immediately changed his words.

Mu Qing waved his hand, turned to see Li Bang who was fainting, and thought about which sect was in the left and right. The sects that can cause the animal tide are definitely not small, but they should not be Shushan sword sect and Qingcheng sect.

Shushan sword sect is a famous and decent sect which is powerful in the Tang Empire. It is impossible to do such a mean thing. If the Qingcheng sect is behind this, they should not send disciples to support the animal tide. And from Hu Jingtian's performance, it seems that they really don't know that the animal tide was deliberately done.

"There are many schools in Bashu area. Kongtong school, lanshanzong... There are more than ten schools with strong people, so it's not difficult to cause a small animal tide. The scope is too large to determine who did the evil. Let's put it down for a moment. Li Bang is a mortal and he dare not say it. There is no doubt that we will die when we speak out. Perhaps there are behind the eyes of these officers and men. MuQing looks around all the city guards to see who is acting.

Gongsun Xue also noticed these Deputy generals. From Li Bang's words, it's not hard to think that he was afraid of the people around him. The knife on the neck is faster than the one in the distance. Even so, Li Bangkai clenched his teeth to see that two life-threatening knives are on the neck. And the other one is obviously sharper!

"Cher, let's stay here tonight. Tomorrow we'll go west again, around Chengdu and then three hundred miles to the southwest. It's almost there. " MuQing tells Gongsun Xue about the next formation.

It's a long way from Jiangyang to Chengdu, and we have to face monster attacks along the way. To the southwest, Chengdu will enter western Sichuan, which is more chaotic and can be called a paradise for monsters.

"Now you start to settle the people and resume business. If I capture Li bang, then the forces behind the cooperation with him will no longer trigger a wave of animals to seek benefits. Go and perform their duties and guard each tower. "

All the people left one after another, only Xu Xing and Liao Ming were waiting at the gate of the courtyard, waiting for MuQing young master's orders.

Evening, dusk

Xu Xing and Liao Ming bring food and enter the wing room with permission.

"Young master, these meals... Although we will cook them ourselves, the guy who cooked the meal had a stomachache in the middle of the meal, so he left for a moment. So the meal still needs to be checked. What do you think is the most suitable way? " Xu Xing frowned and told the truth.

MuQing nodded and said with a smile: "it's normal that I caught Li bang. The person who cooperated with him must want me to die. And they don't dare to kill me directly, so they can only poison me. Put the food down. I have my own plan

Xu Xing and Liao Ming nodded. From the words of the young master, they could see that the dinner was definitely poisoned.

When cooking, the cook leaves for a moment, it happens to be cooking time. Who would have believed it if no one had thought it over?

Gongsun Xue frowned slightly. After Xu Xing and Liao Ming left, she said, "ah Qing, the food is poisonous. The person who poisons is not an expert, but he is not an ordinary person."

"Yes, the poison in the food is colorless and tasteless to human beings, but they forget that I am not human, and even the human blood in my body hardly exists. These meals have a strange taste, like cartilaginous grass. It should be the poison made of cartilaginous grass, which can make the eighth grade martial arts master soften and lose his resistance in a short time. " Mu Qing sneered and let out his spirit to explore the situation around the wing room.

According to the other party's plan, he must want to make himself weak after eating, and then send assassins to assassinate him. This plan is really exquisite, but they miscalculated one step, that is, MuQing is not human at all, and can smell the peculiar smell of cartilaginous grass.
