"I'm just too arrogant to indulge you...bring him back to me!"
After finishing speaking, the city lord Guo Yan quickly got on his horse and said one last thing to Qiao Mu before leaving:
"Qiao Mu, if you change your mind, you can come to the City Lord's Mansion to report at any time."
He immediately took these many soldiers and left quickly on a galloping horse.
Qiao Mu remained silent, quietly watching the city lord leave on horseback.
He keenly noticed that when the city lord said the last sentence, he was looking at other people on the street out of the corner of his eye.
After the city lord leaves.
The crowd's discussion suddenly became noisy.
"Our city lord is still big-hearted, and he actually let go of that young righteous man named Qiao Mu!"
"Tsk tsk, although the city lord is a useless dude, the city lord still understands the truth."
"The young righteous man Qiao Mu is also lucky. After such a toss, he has fallen into the eyes of the city lord. If he wants to enter the city defense army, he will not be able to get an officer."
The direction of the crowd's discussions has changed quietly, and it has basically become praise for the city lord's big belly and admiration for Qiao Mu's righteous men.
Obviously, what he did just now has become famous among this group of people.
Qiao Mu just frowned and listened, but didn't pay much attention.
He doesn't care about reputation, it's just something external to him.
What he pursues is martial arts and his own strength.
Just like today's incident, the city lord has the biggest fist, so he is the law, and he is the truth in this city.
In the chaotic ancient times, force is the iron rule.
So what he cares most about right now is actually only one thing.
"After tossing around for so long, the atmosphere has come to this point. I've already thought about my last words. Why am I still alive?" He looked at the sky blankly, feeling a great blow.
"The city lord and his son really have no good intentions, they don't want me to die!"
Qiao Mu was indignant, but when his mind sank and he saw the Ouroboros longevity lock in his mind again, he was surprised again.
The Ouroboros Longevity Lock still glowed faintly in his mind at this time, and it didn't lose its light just because Qiao Mu was out of danger.
According to Qiao Mu's previous experience, if the longevity lock glows, it means that the death evaluation will rise.
But now the longevity lock is always on like a light bulb in my mind.
What does this mean?
Qiao Mu thought for a long time, and made a bold guess.
"My death rating didn't disappear with the departure of the city lord. Does this mean...if I die now, I can still get a higher death rating?"
Then the problem is coming.
Is the current arbor any different from the previous arbor?
Qiao Mu looked around.
Wherever his gaze went, many people on the street smiled and nodded to him, and the swordsman in blue just now expressed his thanks solemnly.
Qiao Mu immediately understood.
If he were to die now, he would die as a "young righteous man who yelled at the city lord of Yancheng in the street", not an unknown pawn Qiao Mu.
Then, Qiao Mu realized.
He suddenly realized the correct way to activate this "immortality" ability.
Death is good for Qiao Mu.
But it was still a good thing for Qiao Mu if he didn't die!
As long as Qiao Mu continues to act bravely, his fame and popularity will continue to rise.
In this way, when Qiao Mu finally dies, it will be a vigorous and high-quality death!
If you succeed in dying, you can become stronger at the cost of age!
If you fail to die, you can continue to stack buffs and improve your death rating until the day when Qiao Shu dies.
It's like a gamble.
Qiao Mu put his life on the gambling table.
Winning a bet is life, losing a bet is death.
If the bet wins and he is still alive, then the chips will continue to accumulate and accumulate more and more.
The day he died was the day when the chips on the gambling table were cashed out!
In this way, in the gamble of life, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will earn blood!
Win-win!I win on both sides!
Chapter 13 Chapter 12
Inside the City Lord's Mansion.
Mr. Guo lay on his back on the bench, and a doctor beside him was applying medicine to his wounds, trying to reduce the swelling on his cheeks that had swollen into a pig's head.
The city lord, Guo Yan, sat beside him, looking at the injury of his only son, with a serious look on his face.
The gray-clothed old man who had grabbed Qiao Mu earlier stood quietly aside.
"Father, why do you want to recruit that villain named Qiao Mu instead?" Mr. Guo said vaguely with his swollen eyes open.
Guo Yan waved his hand to let the doctors and maids who were waiting beside him leave, leaving only the gray-clothed old man standing there before he spoke:
"Why be in a hurry, if he joins the Yancheng army, there will be ten thousand ways to kill him."
Guo Yan closed his eyes and spoke calmly.
It was only just now that he discovered that his son's grievances among the people of Yancheng had reached such a level that it only needed a passerby who spoke up to light the fire.
After subduing Qiao Mu, he didn't kill him on the spot, just because he still wanted to be a city lord who was said by the public to be kind-hearted and generous.
Inviting Qiao Mu to join the army was just a means for him to resolve the turmoil.
This is going to be a success, and it is not yet known whether it will become a good story about a corporal who is respectful and virtuous in the future.
In the final analysis, although his son was beaten with a bruised nose and a swollen face, Qiao Mu is still a young warrior who has not yet cultivated his inner strength. With the methods and abilities of the city lord Guo Yan, he feels that he can handle it easily. kill.
Thinking of this, he opened his eyes, and looked down at his only son coldly. His eyes made Mr. Guo tremble in his heart, and he stopped muttering.
"You rebellious son, you should have been beaten and beaten long ago, otherwise you will cause a big disaster sooner or later."
"A martial artist who hasn't cultivated his inner strength can violently catch you without giving up his life. What if you change to other nobles you can't afford?"
"Your Excellency?" Mr. Guo noticed this key word:
"Could it be that some dignitaries have come to Yancheng recently?"
As the biggest second ancestor in Yancheng, he is naturally worthy of anyone.
And the nobleman that the city lord said even he couldn't afford to offend must be the dragon crossing the river outside Yancheng.
The city lord Guo Yan looked at him coldly, and said:
"In the past month, you have been confined in the mansion and are not allowed to go out."
"Why?" Mr. Guo was stunned immediately. He was suddenly beaten up and threatened by his collar while walking on the road. Now he has to ground his feet after the matter is over?Is this reasonable?
Guo Yan thought for a moment before speaking in a low voice:
"It is said that the current emperor may visit the vicinity of Yancheng within the next month. You are grounded to prevent you from inexplicably causing another murderous disaster."
The reason why he tried his best to maintain his popularity in Yan City is also because of the possibility of Emperor Yan.
"Emperor Dayan? It is said? Is this news reliable?" Mr. Guo's eyes widened.
"How can the emperor's travel situation be revealed to your father? Who knows if it will attract assassins." The city lord sneered:
"For this month, you should stay in this mansion and not go out again."
Mr. Guo bowed his head in silence, but after a while he couldn't help but ask again:
"But that tree..."
"You don't have to take care of his affairs anymore." City Lord Guo Yan closed his eyes:
"Regardless of whether he is invited to join our Yancheng garrison, there are ways to deal with him."
"It would be even better if he joined."
"Isn't there a group of bandits in Dongshan outside the city that are quite rampant recently? Just send him to battle and die at that time."
......................
On the streets of the inner city.
Qiao Mu passed through the crowd, which was gradually becoming noisy again, and bent over to pick up the blind stick that had rolled down to his feet.
Seven or eight steps away, Qiao Canxue was groping around with her eyes closed, her brows furrowed nervously.
The turmoil just now was not small, and the people avoided the whipping, and the sergeants surrounded the long street, and the blind stick in Qiao Canxue's hand was also squeezed out by the crowd.
Although she was once a child of a rich martial arts family, she was a blind person first.
At ordinary times, you can rely on your senses, such as hearing and smell, to make up for the defect of not seeing things, and live like ordinary people.
But if the surrounding environment is more complicated, she will be blinded.
Qiao Mu picked up the blind stick and walked to her side, and handed it to Qiao Canxue who was still groping around.
Qiao Canxue grabbed the cane and subconsciously nodded and bowed to thank her, but after a while, her nostrils twitched slightly, and her brows that were frowning slightly relaxed.
"You just hit the son of the city lord?" Qiao Canxue asked.
What happened just now, except for Qiao Canxue's guess at the beginning, she didn't know much about the rest.
Qiao Mu led her back to the alleys in the outer city, and at the same time explained what happened just now.
"You slapped the city lord a few times, and later the city lord wants to recruit you to join the Yancheng garrison?" Qiao Canxue paused slightly, shaking her head and said:
"That doesn't sound like a good thing."
"If this city lord is really a kind person who repays hatred with virtue, then how can he indulge his only son to such an extent? So..."
"That's why I'm going to book the City Lord's Mansion!" Qiao Mu said decisively.
"...Didn't you understand what I said? If you enter the city lord's mansion, that's like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth."
"Crisis is an opportunity." Qiao Mu's eyes sparkled with excitement:
"Don't forget that the city lord is probably a member of the Wuji Club."
If the city lord has no good intentions, then he will probably die if he goes to the city lord's mansion!
If the city lord is really a sage who repays grievances with virtue, then Qiao Mu can also take this opportunity to join the Yancheng army and get closer to the city lord Guo Yan, a suspected member of the Wuji Society.
The more dangerous it is, the more he wants to get inside.
Anyway, no matter whether he will die or not, it will not be a loss anyway!
"If the city lord is a member of the Wujihui, as the city lord of his side, he must not be an ordinary person in the Wujihui."
"Then in his hands, he either has a method of deciphering the tadpole ciphertext, or he has directly grasped more information about the plan to assassinate the emperor."
Qiao Mu never forgot that his ultimate goal is to sneak into the Martial Arts Association and participate in the plan to assassinate the emperor as much as possible.
Then, at the scene of the assassination of the emperor, be a fool!
Qiao Canxue listened attentively to Qiao Mu's plan, and a strange look flashed across her face.
Just now, he acted righteously and threatened the lord of the city by pinching the neck of the son of the city lord.
Now he decides to risk his life to join the city lord, just because the city lord is suspected to be a member of Wujihui... Is it really necessary for him to do this?
"He said before that he planned to assassinate the emperor and use the opportunity of the Yan Dynasty to destroy the Wujihui. It's really not empty talk." Qiao Canxue followed Qiao Mu to the deep alley step by step.
"With only half of the "Longevity Boxing Sutra", can I get his life and death retribution? Should I post something for him?" Qiao Canxue even felt a little uneasy in her heart.
Thinking of this, Qiao Canxue thought.
