475. Crisis, Return, Who Will Long Yanhua Give?(1/2)
The night is deep.
The sound of fighting not far away became less and the screams disappeared. Xuan Ku opened his eyes and looked up. He saw that only one of the eight people was left, and he was still facing away from them, supporting the ground with his long sword, standing there like a bloody man, while the other seven people had fallen to the ground, some had their heads gone, some had broken limbs, some had a sword in their chests, and some had their bodies split in half. It was really terrible and shocking!
Xuan Ku looked very reluctant, so he closed his eyes again and said in a deep voice: "Amitabha."
"Master," Jin Liancheng whispered beside him and said to Xuanku, "My second uncle seems to be alive. If Master wants to save him, the disciple will listen to Master."
Xuan Ku nodded slightly: "You can still say such words in Yuangui until now, so you can save him and heal him."
After Xuan finished speaking bitterly, Jin Liancheng nodded slightly and raised his foot toward Lian Song. There was only a little left in his purse, and it was still floating in the direction where Lian Song was.
Hearing Xuan Ku say something behind his back, reminded: "Be careful, he may be crazy, don't let him hurt you."
Jin Liancheng nodded, and in a place where Xuanku could not see, a sneer appeared on his face and continued to approach Lian Song.
Lian Song had not recovered his mind at this time, and he was seriously injured. Blood was gushing out of his chest. A dagger was inserted on his thigh, covered in blood, some of which were his, and more of which were others, among them his son Lian Ji, and what he was stepping on under his feet was the tragic body of Lian Ji.
The night wind was rushing, and the strong smell of blood came to his nose. Jin Liancheng's purse was empty, and the poison powder filled in the air gradually dissipated. Lian Song closed his eyes slightly and opened them again. There was a moment of tranquility in his mind. When he lowered his head, he met Lian Ji's eyes that were dying with his eyes closed!
Lian Song suddenly widened his eyes and looked at everything around him in disbelief. He saw that Lian Ji was dead, and the six elders of the Lian family died tragically at his feet. The death was terrifying!
Lian Song's body trembled, his feet became unstable, and he fell to the ground, but felt soft under him. When he looked down, he actually had an elder's face full of blood!
Lian Song screamed, rolled and crawled out of the pile of corpses, his whole body trembling constantly, but he couldn't remember what he had had before, but he just felt like he fell into an ice cave, and he lost consciousness for a moment.
Jin Liancheng slowly approached Lian Song. Lian Song's horror expression and embarrassing movements all fell in his eyes. He stopped one meter away from Lian Song, opened his thin lips lightly, and called Lian Song: "Second uncle."
Lian Song seemed to be struck by lightning, and suddenly turned around and saw Jin Liancheng standing behind him. He said it was fine, but in fact, Jin Liancheng also had some wounds and blood on his body, but compared with Lian Song and Lian Ji, it was really good.
"You" Lian Song stared at Jin Liancheng with wide eyes, as if he was a ghost, and could not believe what he saw. He obviously summoned the most powerful masters of Wanwu City to kill Jin Liancheng together. Why was his people dead, but Jin Liancheng still alive?
"Second uncle, let's mourn." Jin Liancheng looked at Lian Song, showed a smug sneer, and he deserved a great beating.
Lian Song turned his head blankly and saw Lian Ji's tragic death again. The sword that Lian Ji had inserted into his chest was the sword that Lian Song had used for many years. At this time, Lian Song held the sword he stolen.
In an instant, Lian Song thought of the possible life and the cause of Lian Ji's death. He was like crazy, and got up and held a sword and rushed towards Jin Liancheng: "It's you! It's you! It's you! It's all you did! Go and die!"
Jin Liancheng took two steps back and was "forced" to take action. Without much effort, Lian Song was controlled.
At this time, both of them turned their backs to Xuan Ku. From Xuan Ku's perspective, Jin Liancheng bound Lian Song from behind and prevented Lian Song from being crazy anymore. Xuan Ku did not hear it. Jin Liancheng lowered his voice and said word by word in Lian Song's ear, cruelly: "I saw it with my own eyes, it was you, I killed your only son with my own hands."
"Ah!" Lian Song roared in pain and struggled desperately, but he was too seriously injured and could not break free from the shackles of Jin Liancheng.
Jin Liancheng knocked Lian Song unconscious, held him with one hand, turned around and looked at Xuan Ku, his face had returned to normal, and even
A bit sad: "Master, let's go back to your room to rest first. I will arrange the matter here. I will find the doctor in the mansion to heal my second uncle."
Xuan Ku heard this, but did not leave. He glanced at the corpses, sighed deeply, sat down cross-legged on the ground, and began to recite scriptures for them.
Jin Liancheng didn't care about Xuanku. He really took Lian Song back to his room, and then found a doctor from the city lord's mansion to heal Lian Song. Jin Liancheng also found someone to collect the bodies of the dead seven people.
Previously, no servants or guards in this mansion were willing to listen to Jin Liancheng's orders, but now the situation is different. Lian Song's action tonight directly damaged six of the ten elders of the Worm City. Another elder was not in the city and was guarding the world. One of the other three elders was arranged to go to the Qi family to explain the matter of Long Yanhua. Two of them were old fried dough sticks who deliberately pretended to be sick and did not come tonight, but when they heard the movement here, they had already secretly come over and saw something happening in secret.
For the bystanders, I'm afraid only Xuan Ku would believe that those who died tragically tonight had nothing to do with Jin Liancheng, because Jin Liancheng was Xuan Ku's apprentice, and he also carefully planned and gave Xuan Ku a very reasonable explanation. But the first feeling of others would be that Jin Liancheng was too cruel, and this must be his harsh action!
However, in any case, Lian Ji is dead, and Lian Song's life and death are unknown. No one in the city lord's mansion dares to cause trouble for Jin Liancheng. One of the reasons why these people were able to betray Lian Ce was that Lian Song told them that the lords of the other five major families would kill Lian Ce and had joined forces, which made them believe that Lian Ce and Lian Yu and his son could not come back alive. No matter what they thought in their hearts, even if they were unwilling, they could only bow to Lian Song in order to survive.
The situation is actually similar now. Feng Shui takes turns, and Lian Song himself is in trouble. No matter how stupid the others in the city lord's mansion are now loyal to Lian Song, it is naturally not a wise choice. Since these people were able to betray Lian Ce before, they were not loyal people. At least they had some ability to change their minds. Now they can naturally betray Lian Song and act according to Jin Liancheng's instructions.
Until dawn, Lian Ce's wife Han brought Lian Jing to come over.
Xuan Ku was still sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed and chanting scriptures. If there was no sound coming out, it would have looked like a sculpture.
All the bodies in the yard were missing, but there were still blood stains on the ground in the yard that had not been completely cleaned. There was a faint smell of blood in the morning mist that had not been dissipated. Han saw that the door of Jin Liancheng was closed and walked over quickly.
"Liancheng!" Han shouted, pushed open the door in front of him, and saw Jin Liancheng sitting in the room with a normal expression. On the soft collapse beside him, a man with a white face as white as paper was lying. Who is Lian Song?
Lian Jing also came in, closed the door behind her, frowned and looked at Jin Liancheng and asked, "Cousin, what did you give birth to last night?"
"I heard that you took them all." Han was a little unbelievable, but the blood in the courtyard and Lian Song, who was lying there, showed that what she heard should be true.
Jin Liancheng did not stand up, and asked Han and Lian Jing to sit down, then looked at Han and said, "It's what my aunt thought. I said I want to get rid of them, I did it."
Han looked at Jin Liancheng with a deep look, and after a moment of silence, he said, "You are a capable person, no wonder A Yu said before that you are much smarter than him."
"Cousin, why do you still keep Lian Song?" Lian Jing looked at Lian Song with hatred, because Lian Ce and Lian Yu were probably killed by Lian Song. Lian Jing was puzzled why Jin Liancheng wanted to save Lian Song.
Jin Liancheng looked out and signaled Han and Lian Jing: "Because of the one outside."
Lian Jing blinked and whispered: "Cousin, don't that Master Xuanku knows that you did all these?"
Jin Liancheng didn't want to deceive Han and Lian Jing, and shook his head slightly and said, "Of course I can't let him know."
"How did my cousin do it? I heard that they were killing each other. Does my cousin have any great poison in his hands?" Lian Jing looked at Jin Liancheng and asked. Lian Jing liked to tinker with various medicinal materials since she was a child, and her medical skills were good, so she was very interested in medical drugs.
Han frowned and scolded Lian Jing: "
When is it? Don’t talk about these things! Your cousin knows what to do if you ask so much?"
Lian Jing's neck shrank and stopped talking.
Jin Liancheng smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, it's a poison, given by a friend, but it was used up last night, otherwise you can leave some for Jing'er to see."
Lian Jing looked a little sorry for him. Jin Liancheng looked at Han and said seriously: "Auntie, let Lian Song live. I have just nullified his martial arts. He will only live worse than death in the future. But if I kill him, it will make the person outside very dissatisfied. After all, he is a monk. Unlike us, we have to rely on him to overcome the difficulties in the future and cannot offend him."
Han nodded and looked out: "Liancheng, you did the right thing."
"When I first came back, I was afraid that something would happen to me, so the city lord's order fell into the hands of Lian Song and Lian Ji and his son, so I handed over the city lord's order to the master for custody. I took it back from the master later and handed it to my aunt. Although I firmly believe that my uncle and cousin will definitely come back alive, their return date is unknown, and the other five families are eyeing me, so I can't be without a master in the city for a day. Next, I will ask my aunt to take charge of the overall situation." Jin Liancheng said solemnly as he looked at the Han family.
Han frowned and thought for a moment, as if he had thought of Lian Ce and Lian Yu, who were uncertain about life and death, looked sad, and looked at the young Lian Jing beside him, shook his head, and sighed deeply, "Acheng, I am a woman. Although I can do some martial arts, you also know that my martial arts is not strong. What I do on weekdays is to help your uncle manage the affairs of the inner house in the mansion. How can I control the current Lian family? Acheng, you are a capable and very smart. It is your credit to eliminate the internal thieves this time, and it is not worthy of your uncle's love for you like that. In short, you are also the serious bloodline of the Lian family. You are right. The enemy outside the Worm City is surrounded by enemies, so you must not be without a master for a day. Your uncle and cousin will not mention them for now. Now you can only be the lord of this city!"
Lian Jing nodded in agreement: "Yes, cousin, now we can only rely on you."
Jin Liancheng sighed and smiled bitterly: "Grand aunt and Jing'er are all family members, and I don't say any polite nonsense. Since my aunt has given such instructions, I swear that I will do my best to guard the Wild Fog City, protect the Lian family, and protect the eldest aunt and cousin. At least until my uncle and cousin return, I can return the order of the city lord to my uncle again."
Hearing Jin Liancheng's last words, Han couldn't help but shed tears again.
Jin Liancheng proposed to take the city lord order back from Xuanku and hand it over to Han to take charge of the overall situation. In fact, it was a means of retreating to advance. Jin Liancheng knew very well that Han had no ability and would not be willing to be the city lord. Willow mist city cannot be without a master for a day. Jin Liancheng has already regarded that position as his own pocket. He could not let Wawa mist city be destroyed, so he would have no place to stand here, because he never thought of really following Xuanku to become a monk and joining the Yuanyin Sect, so he would try his best to defend Wawa mist city next.
But Jin Liancheng's last sentence said that when Lian Ce returns, he wants to return the City Lord Order. Although Jin Liancheng feels that Lian Ce and Lian Yu are in danger, with his own experience, he feels that things are not absolute, and Lian Ce and Lian Yu are still likely to come back. Jin Liancheng knows that his current strength still needs to be improved, and he has not yet fully absorbed and digested the help given to him by the five Dragon Flame Flowers, and it takes time to go to seclusion and practice. The situation is urgent now, and he has no time at all. If Lian Ce returns, he will hand over the City Lord Order, and then improve his strength and make other plans.
Past experiences tell Jin Liancheng that if he does not have enough ability and rashly pursues power that cannot be controlled, his fate will be very miserable. Lian Song and Lian Ji are the bloody examples at the moment.
After all, Jin Liancheng had never grown up in Wax City since he was a child and returned home last year. Although everyone in Wax City knew his identity, he had been practicing most of the time before and had never dealt with many people. In terms of prestige, his only prestige in the hearts of everyone comes from the fact that he used cruel means to kill Lian Ji and the six elders last night.
Although Han resented those subordinates who were changing their responsibilities, they could not kill them now, and they had to rely on them to defend the city. Therefore, Han summoned the remaining two elders of the Lian family, all the disciples and servants, and announced that from today on, Jin Liancheng would be the new lord of Wanwu City.&1t;b

Han also asked Jin Liancheng to hand over the city lord order to her in advance, and then she handed the city lord order to Jin Liancheng in front of everyone. Jin Liancheng was wearing a gray monk's robe and looked calm. He stood there and looked at everyone in the Lian family and said, "We, Wanwu City, would rather die standing than live on kneeling! Lian Song and Lian Ji and his son colluded with foreign thieves to destroy our Lian family. You have seen their fate! No matter who wants to destroy our Wanwu City, we will never bow our heads! If there are traitors and spies, Lian Ji will be your fate!"
If Mu Yan was here, she would probably laugh when she heard the first sentence Jin Liancheng said. The saying "I would rather die standing than live on my knees" is very backbone and dignified. Unfortunately, Jin Liancheng never believed such words, including now, because even if he had to kneel down, lie down, and be rubbed under his feet, Jin Liancheng would not give up on survival for dignity.
However, in this situation, Jin Liancheng said this, but the men in Washi City silently straightened their backs. After all, no one does not want dignity when they can live well.
In this way, Jin Liancheng officially became the new city lord of Wild City. In order to prevent the other five families from coming, the first thing Jin Liancheng did was to send all the people from the original city lord's mansion to guard the coast of Wild City and the city gates. Whenever there was any news, report it immediately.
However, after Jin Liancheng returned, an elder was sent to the Qi family by Lian Song. Lian Song found an excuse to ask the elder to explain to the Qi family that he would take Long Yanhua to pay homage to Lord Qi in another month. This is also the reason why Lian Song couldn't wait to attack Jin Liancheng and Xuanku, because he could not get Long Yanhua again, and he was afraid that he would really offend the Qi family.
Unfortunately, the elder sent by Lian Song knew the truth. He chose to betray Lian Song and told the Qi family everything he should say and not say, intending to please the Qi family.
When the Qi family learned that Lian Song had not succeeded in killing Jin Liancheng, the city lord order was still on Jin Liancheng, and Jin Liancheng climbed to the young master of Yuanyin Sect and returned to Wanwu City together, in fact, Lian Song and Lian Ji and his son were useless useless chess to them. As for Lian Ji, he was eager to marry the third lady of the Qi family, and Lian Song was looking forward to marrying the Qi family. In fact, the third lady of the Qi family looked down on Lian Ji at all, but was just using them.
Not long after, all four families except the Qi family received a handwritten letter from Lord Qi.
Half a month after becoming the Lord of Wilson City in Jinliancheng, late one night, he was meditating and practicing. He heard hurried footsteps outside, accompanied by shouting, "Master Lord, it's not good!"
Jin Liancheng's expression changed slightly. When he got up and opened the door, he saw a guard saying with an ugly expression: "Master Lord! Master Qi, Lord Wei, Lord Han, Lord Chen, Lord Ji, all arrived at the southern city gate! He said he wanted to visit the city! We can't stop the ship!"
Jin Liancheng's brows frowned fiercely, and soon walked to the side to knock on Xuan Ku's door. As soon as he raised his hand, the door opened. Xuan Ku appeared at the door, sighed slightly, and said to him, "You can go and have a look, my teacher."
"Thank you, Master!" Jin Liancheng bowed and quickly took Xuan Ku toward the south gate of Lotus City. Han's family, who received the news, ordered Lian Jing to stay in the room and not go out, and she quickly chased Jin Liancheng.
The gate of the south gate of Wilson City was closed, and the soldiers guarding the city frowned one by one, holding the weapon in their hands.
Jin Liancheng took Xuan Ku to the city tower and saw that the people from the other five families had already got off the boat and arrived at the city gate.
The most powerful Qi family is now the young master Qi Ningyuan. He was surrounded by people and stood in the center. The one standing next to him was the elder who first betrayed Lian Ce and later betrayed Lian Song. If it weren't for him, the formation of the guarding city of Wanwu City would not have been broken so easily by outsiders.
There was another one among the crowd, who was the elder brother of the Han family, the wife of Lian Ce, a mother of Han. Han's father, Old City Lord Han, had completely ignored the matter a few years ago.
Everyone looked up and saw Jin Liancheng, and also saw the monk Xuanku standing beside Jin Liancheng.
Qi Ningyuan laughed before saying a word: "Lord Lian, the first time I met, don't you open the city gate to invite us in for a cup of tea?"
Jin Liancheng said with a faint expression: "No guest, no tea to invite!"
Qi Ningyuan laughed: "Then let's talk about it like this!"
After Qi Ningyuan finished speaking, he glanced at the elder of Wax City next to him.
The elder understood, took a step forward, raised his head, pointed at Jin Liancheng standing on the city tower and said loudly: "Madam, this disabled person is not the blood of our Lian family at all! Don't be deceived by him! When the old city lord was dying, he was still worried about the eldest lady who was sent away, and told the city lord to find the eldest lady. The city lord swore that he would definitely find the eldest lady. In the end, the city lord searched everywhere and saw no result. When he met this person with a similar appearance to him, he asked him to pretend to be the eldest lady's son and brought him back to the grave of the old city lord to worship so that the old city lord could rest in the underground. The city lord was kind-hearted, so he left this fake product in the city. Because of his appearance, he really treated him as his nephew! But he was fake!"
Everyone in Wilson City was stunned, and Han's eyes turned cold: "You traitor who is traitor, don't talk nonsense and slander! Liancheng was found by his husband using the Blood Trace Gu, which is the bloodline of the Lian family!"
The elder's words were not reasonable, and they were just fabricated. Tonight, the other five families were clearly not here to reason with the Lian family, but they just had to force a ridiculous reason, so it would be difficult for Jin Liancheng.
"Madam Lian, we have heard that the Lian family may fall into the hands of outsiders. At the request of Lord Han, we come together to uphold justice for Mrs. Lian." Qi Ningyuan finished speaking and looked at Lord Han with a smile.
Lord Han looked at Han indifferently, then nodded and said, "That's right."
"The blood inheritance of our Lian family does not require you outsiders to intervene!" Han said coldly.
"Young Master Qi, you came so aggressively, I'm afraid you have already calculated how to divide the benefits after destroying the Worm City, right? Why should you hypocritize the life experience of this city lord here, and deliberately let Lord Han speak up, disgusting my aunt!" Jin Liancheng said coldly.
To be continued...
