After leaving Panshi City, Shi Yong did not hesitate for a second and went straight toward the Lion Clan territory.

Summer is over, and the yellowed leaves indicate that the autumn god is now ruling the world. Speaking of which, this is the most popular among the gods of the four seasons, but no one has seen them before, so the existence forms of different barbarian tribes in the north are different, and there are very different differences.

Qiu Shen of the Niu tribe is a middle-aged man and amiable.

Qiu Shen of the Tiger Clan is a fat aunt with round breasts, round buttocks, round arms, round legs.

The Autumn God of the Eagle Clan is an old man and always laughs.

The Autumn God of the Lion Clan is an old woman with a giant hairdress on her head, just like a Mexican corn hat in the civilized era, filled with wheat ears and fruits.

Riding on a horse, Shi Yong crossed the border between the two tribes, and he couldn't wait to return to his city.

The Shattered Gold City is now in the harvest period, and it is time to go back now. The people below must know that the city lord is still alive and issue a new tax rate for next year. Shi Yong carefully considered that the tax revenue will be lower than this year, which will be pacified, especially those civilians who have lost their families.

On the way, he was thinking about the issues about corn and potatoes, including the conversation between Tianhao and himself in prison. Shi Yong felt that he seemed to have caught something, but he could not find specific clues.

Directly ahead, you can see the border checkpoint from afar. It is a tower standing inside the deer fort and trenches, closely protected by wooden village walls, and dozens of wooden houses scattered around it. Relying on the nearby terrain and mountainous landscape, it forms a small military stronghold, and is regularly transported from the direction of Saijin City.

Shi Yong could see a few lion soldiers standing on the tower. He felt his heart suddenly become hot. He couldn't help but squeeze his legs tightly and urged the mount under his crotch to speed up.

His wife's face appeared in his mind, and two sons... Shi Yong is a man with a strong sense of family. He can't wait to return to Shattered Gold City, hug them tightly, and kiss them one by one.

"Swoosh!"

A feather arrow shot from the tower and was firmly nailed to the ground about three meters away from the horse's head. Shi Yong, who was urging the horse to run wildly, was frightened and sweated in a cold sweat. He quickly tied the reins hard. The horse, who was blocked from the impact, immediately raised its horse's hooves. With a violent whistle, he was forced to jump sideways. Shi Yong turned the horse's head with his superb control skills and turned around in circles. He finally maintained his balance and did not fall down.

"Bastard, how dare you..."

As soon as this swear word broke out, before the following words were finished, six fully armed lion soldiers rushed out of the checkpoint. They held spears in their hands and arranged along the deer fort, pointing their sharp spear tips at Shi Yong.

"Are you blind? It's me..." Shi Yong got angry from his heart and rode on the horse and cursed. He then controlled his anger and explained in an angry voice: "I am the lord of Shattered Gold City, get out of the way immediately!"

Not all soldiers know themselves as the city lord.

The soldiers looked at each other, but no one did as Shi Yong said.

At this moment, a commander in half-armored armour hurriedly from the tower. He walked through the long spear formation formed by soldiers, moved a gap that was sufficiently passable from the deer fort, quickly came to Shi Yong, grabbed the reins tied to the horse's head, and said excitedly: "Sir, are you back?"

Shi Yong glanced at the pattern of the hundred-person heads on the left arm of the visitor, then moved his eyes to the other side's hole, looked at it carefully for a few seconds, and said uncertainly: "... Are you Yongzhi?"

He remembered that this man was once a personal guard around him. He was promoted to a hundred men the year before yesterday and sent to the border post as commander.

Yongzhi nodded quickly, and he grabbed the reins and dragged the horse into the woods on the side of the road without saying a word. Although Shi Yong was confused, he did not object and allowed the other party to move.

It was relatively secluded here. Yongzhi looked at the far-off checkpoint, turned around, lowered his voice, and said anxiously: "Sir, why are you back?"

His tone and voice made Shi Yong's heart sank suddenly: "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty issued an order a few months ago to declare that you are rebellious." Yongzhi's next words made Shi Yong fall into an ice cave, his hands and feet cold: "The lord of the Broken Golden City has been replaced. You are like throwing yourself into the trap when you go back now."

Shi Yong widened his eyes, bloodshot occupied his eye sockets at visible speed, and his face was full of disbelief: "You...what were you saying?"

The terrible decree comes from Roaring City.

The Lion King rushes to help the capital of the Pig tribe, but he doesn't expect that Fangya City will be broken by the Niu tribe early. He thought that the direction of Shattered Jin City will react quickly, and even if Shi Yong leads an army of 50,000 to fundamentally improve the situation of the war, he can at least delay the Niu tribe. When the main force of the Lion tribe arrives, he will work together to eat it.

The development of the situation has turned the Lion King's idea into nothing. The news came from the sergeant in front of him, and the master of Jincheng City was attacked and his entire army was wiped out. Tens of thousands of corpses of the Lion Clan soldiers were left at the scene, and the rest were missing.

The furious Lion King could only turn to withdraw his troops. He deeply hated Shi Yong's stupidity and failed to allow himself to complete his strategic concept. In his anger, he deprived Shi Yong of the position of city lord and issued an edict to declare Shi Yong a traitor to the Lion clan.

A mere city lord and a useless waste, such a person has no presence in the heart of the Lion King. He will die if he dies, save food and can also recover his direct jurisdiction over the Sorted Jincheng.

Shi Yong felt as if he was struck by lightning, his mind was in chaos, and he completely lost his ability to think.

After a long time, his face turned pale and he made a trembling voice: "...No...I didn't...I didn't betray Your Majesty, I really didn't betray His Majesty."

Yongzhi felt deeply that Shi Yong had promoted him back then, and lowered his voice and patiently advised him: "Sir, you should go quickly! If you insist on going to Shattered Jincheng, it will be a dead end!"

"...I want to meet the king and make everything clear." Shi Yong was full of reluctance.

"You can't get to Roaring City." Yongzhi sighed and shook his head: "Your Majesty has issued a reward. Whether you capture your head alive or bring your head back, you can get a large amount of money and a position of 100 people. Fortunately, you took away all the veterans on the checkpoint last time, and now they are recruiting recruits from other places. They don't know you, otherwise it would have been unimaginable just now."

"I did not surrender!" Shi Yong's eyes were filled with rage: "Even if he was locked in prison by the Niu people, I never bowed to them. Why should the king do this to me?"

Yongzhi looked at him sympathetically: "Sir, you should go! The world is so big, where can't you accommodate me? Besides, your family is dead, they..."

"What did you say?" Shi Yong felt like his heart was being grabbed hard again. He jumped off the horse's back, grabbed Yongzhi's arm with both hands, trembling with his body, and asked gritting his teeth: "You, do you say it again?"

"The new city lord killed your family, and none of your parents, wife and children, including the entire relatives, were spared." Yongzhi's tone was calm, revealing a deep helplessness: "He declared that your property was illegal income and was confiscated and handed over. Your family... was distributed to the civilians in the city."

The last sentence penetrated Shi Yong's heart like a knife. He slowly let go of his fingers and took several steps back. A tree blocked his crooked body without losing his balance and falling.

There was no trace of blood on his pale face. Shi Yong felt that all the power in his body was being evacuated. His body was leaning against the tree trunk and he was unable to fall. His eyes were empty and he muttered to himself: "...How can they be like this? I am so nice to them. Shattered Jincheng is the city with the lowest tax rate in the entire tribe. No one was starved to death under my rule. They... actually divided my family, my son..."

Yongzhi walked slowly over and squatted down. He hesitated for a few seconds and said softly: "The Lord of the New City issued an announcement, claiming that you are a traitor, and joining the Cattle tribe to create traps. All the soldiers who went on the war with you were killed... They lost their families, and during that time, the entire Broken Gold City was full of crying."

Shi Yong half-tilted his body, fear and anger were entangled in his mind, and salty tears slid silently from the corners of his eyes: "I'm not bad to them, isn't anyone standing up to speak a fair word for me?"

Yongzhi opened his mouth and then lowered his head: "...Of course... they were all dead and all killed."

When he raised his head again, through his hazy vision, Shi Yong saw that Yongzhi was like himself, tears made wet marks on his face.

"Like me, they abide by the dignity and loyalty of being warriors. They are brave men who dare to speak out and speak up for you. The guards around you, including some officials in the city, advised the New City Lord, requested to let your family go, and asked to meet His Majesty to forgive you... Because there were too many people, the New City Lord pretended to agree and suddenly sent troops to kill people afterwards."

“A lot of them are my friends.”

"I'm ashamed to not stand with them."

"Please go, don't go to Broken Gold City. I am a despicable villain who lives in vain. I didn't die with them at that time, and now I have no shame to beg for your forgiveness... Let's go, this is my last advice to you, never come back."

...

When Shi Yong rushed into Panshi City like a madman, people had just held a grand sacrificial ceremony, and everyone's faces were filled with laughter, celebrating the harvest season given by the gods.

The galloping horse was like a chariot, ignoring the guards' warnings, rushing into the city gate. The heavy horse hooves woke people up, disrupting the atmosphere of celebration, causing panic and fear. Countless pairs of eyes watched the heavily armored guards rushing over from both sides of the street, wielding a spear to smash the horse's knee bones. Shi Yong threw it away from the horse's back under the action of huge inertia, and fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

The soldiers took Shi Yong into the city lord's mansion and came to Tianhao.

His clothes were torn, and his face was cut by sharp little stones. There was a large scratch on his cheek on his left, obvious bruises were found on his arms, his hands were tied up by ropes, and several hands pressed hard on his shoulders, forced him to kneel down and unable to stand up.

Tianhao, dressed in a gorgeous dress, sat on the chair, looking at Shi Yong coldly, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

"Aren't you leaving? Why do you still have to come back?"

Shi Yong struggled and tried to raise his head. He stared at Tianhao with his bloodshot eyes, trembling all over, and let out a hysterical roar: "It's you! You did it right? Everything is your conspiracy, everything is your plot behind your back!"

Tianhao was slightly stunned for a moment, his expression immediately returned to normal, and he said lightly: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

Shi Yong, with a stuttering crying voice, sometimes let out a beast-like howl, sometimes lying on the ground and sobbing quietly, telling the story. For a few days, he had not eaten a bite of food. Furious and revenge supported him to come here from the border, and even the physiological need for drinking water was compressed to the lowest point.

"...You killed them..." Tears flowed down your cheeks, into the wound, mixed with blood: "You do everything you can to make me surrender. You sent someone to spread rumors in Roaring City, otherwise your Majesty would not do this to me."

Tianhao's face gradually became ugly.

"I haven't done it." He added coldly: "Whether you believe it or not, I haven't done it."

Shi Yong stared at him with his wolf-like eyes, his chest fluctuated violently, and his words were filled with indescribable hatred: "You are a shameless liar!"

Tian Hao laughed contemptuously, bent down from the chair, and stared at Shi Yong with fierce eyes: "You look at yourself too high. Who do you think you are? Do you think you are a noble and worthy of my waste of so much effort on you? Don't forget that you took 50,000 Lion people to the battle. No one else could escape except those soldiers who died in battle. Now they either smash stones and peat in the mine, or burn bricks and iron honestly on the construction site. They are my spoils and slaves, do you understand?"

"Each of them works much more than you." Tianhao continued to sarcastically laughed: "You obviously don't understand the value exchange rules between input and harvest. A meal, two steamed buns and a piece of meat, plus a bowl of vegetable soup, these things can maintain their energy consumption for half a day, and they can bring me enough ore and peat. And what about you? Stay in prison every day and eat the same food, and what else can you do besides peeing and shit?"

"Yes, I do want you to surrender. Your brain is very flexible. I admit that I want to get corn and potatoes through you, but both before and now, it proves that my investment in you has failed. The Lion King thinks you are a traitor, and you can't prove your innocence. In fact, I knew this before, but it was not as detailed as you said now."

Shi Yong swallowed a mouthful of bloody saliva and cried out in a trembling manner: "...you, do you know? You deliberately hide it from me?"

"I am the lord, and there are more or less some sources of information in the Lion Territory." Tianhao sneered and spread his hands: "So what if you know but don't tell you? This is my right. Who stipulates that I must be a chatterbox and there is no secret in front of you?"
