The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

With such a big thing happening, Lu Xiuyuan and others naturally also received the news.

A few people were surprised and rushed to check, but they did not find any useful clues except the mess and sad people.

In the morning, Jun Ziyao prepared a large table of delicious food for Lu Xiuyuan and others. They sat around and discussed the strange things that happened yesterday afternoon and evening while eating.

"Do you think these two strange things could be related to Ye Beimo?" Xia Younan asked while picking up some food in frustration.

"Nine out of ten," Lu Xiuyuan answered without thinking, "Tang City was peaceful before he came, but after he came, strange things happened frequently. Who else could it be if it wasn't him?"

"But what is his purpose? Is it to retaliate against my father for delaying the loan of troops?" Jun Ziyao asked.

He was talking to Lu Xiuyuan, but his face was turned towards Qu Xiaoyou beside him, staring at the girl with his bright starry eyes without blinking.

His hands were never idle, constantly picking up dishes for Qu Xiaoyou, and the bowls in front of her piled up like a small mountain.

"It's not surprising that he would seek revenge." Qu Xiaoyou echoed, looking down at the full bowl beside her, and said to Jun Ziyao with some amusement, "Young City Lord, just eat your food, you don't have to keep picking food for me."

Jun Ziyao laughed, "It doesn't matter, I'm the master, and you saved me, so I should be more enthusiastic towards you."

"Uh, thank you, you're welcome." Qu Xiaoyou nodded helplessly.

"I think things won't be that simple. Ye Beimo might not just be seeking revenge." Lu Xiuyuan frowned as if thinking.

His words were soon verified.

After these two terrifying events, the people of Tang City were terrified and they all thought of their beliefs.

So at daybreak, large groups of people came with tributes and went to the mountain god temple in groups, hoping to ask the mountain god to show up and bless them.

However, when the first group of people opened the door of the mountain temple, strange things happened again...

As the gate slowly opened and the first ray of sunlight enveloped the statue of the mountain god, eight large characters suddenly appeared on the chest of the solemn and dignified statue of the mountain god!

"If you don't lend me troops, I will burn down Tang City!"

These eight short words struck the people's minds like a thunderclap. They were petrified and stared at the "miracle" before them in amazement, unable to recover for a long time.

Hearing those words filled with majesty and anger, the people seemed to see the usually solemn statue of the mountain god become frowning and ferocious.

Some people were frightened on the spot, and after they came to their senses, they fell to their knees, kowtowed to the mountain god statue, and cried in fear and trepidation: "Mountain God, please spare our lives! Mountain God, please forgive us, we were wrong, please forgive us!"

"Lord Mountain God, please calm down. For the sake of our city's people who have worshipped you for generations, please don't burn down our homes!"

"It turns out that those two disasters were caused by the might of the Mountain God. The City Lord did not lend troops to Zhujing Kingdom according to his instructions, so the Mountain God got angry!"

Someone shouted, and the people all suddenly realized what was going on. They couldn't help but blame the city lord for disobeying the mountain god and bringing disaster upon themselves.

"Lord Mountain God, please calm down. We understand what you mean. We will go to the City Lord's Mansion and petition him to lend troops to Zhujing Country immediately. Lord Mountain God, please show mercy and don't punish us anymore."

An old man in his fifties kowtowed three times to the mountain god statue, then stood up angrily, waved his hand, and strode down the mountain.

"Everyone, follow me. If the city lord doesn't lend us soldiers, our homeland will be ruined. Come with me to the city lord's mansion to petition."

"Let's go! Find the city lord and ask him to lend us soldiers immediately no matter what." The people responded and followed him in a mighty force.

After coming down the mountain, they first found a few gongs, and started beating them hard while shouting loudly about what had just happened in the mountain temple, so that more people could understand the facts and join their petition army.

Things turned out just as they wished. When the people in the city heard the reason for the incident, they were all filled with indignation and anger. They all dropped the work in their hands and walked towards the city lord's mansion, complaining about the city lord.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Jun Zhonglin was still worried about the spontaneous combustion of the house and the appearance of wild beasts. Suddenly, the guard came to report that thousands of people had gathered outside the mansion, clamoring to see the City Lord.

Jun Zhonglin was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly got up and rushed out of the house.

At this time, the gate of the mansion was already surrounded by a crowd of people. Men, women, young and old, in plain clothes, were so densely packed that they were like a swarm of bees. One could not see the end at a glance.

They all waved their arms and shouted in unison towards the palace:

"Borrow troops! Borrow troops!"

The cries of petition were like thunder, making no room for any other voices.

Jun Zhonglin rushed to the gate of the mansion and was shocked when he saw this scene. This had never happened since he became the city lord.

"People, people!" He did not dare to delay and hurriedly walked to the front, gesturing to the people to calm down.

As soon as he arrived, the people stopped shouting, put down their arms, and couldn't wait to tell him that the mountain god had appeared again.

He also explained that the two disasters yesterday were caused by his refusal to borrow troops and disobeying the will of the mountain god, which made the mountain god angry and he used magic to punish the people.

As they spoke, there was a hint of complaint in their voices.

Jun Zhonglin was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked his subordinates for confirmation. The subordinate next to him quickly explained that he had seen it with his own eyes and that everything the people said was true.

"Words appeared out of thin air again? How could this happen?" Jun Zhonglin's face was full of disbelief.

The people could no longer hold back and began to petition one after another, "Lord City Lord, we, the people of the entire city, collectively petition you to lend troops to the Prince of Zhujing immediately. Don't provoke the anger of the mountain god again, otherwise it will bring disaster to Tang City!"

"Those two disasters are enough to show the power of the mountain god. If the city lord doesn't lend me troops, I'm afraid he will really fulfill his promise of 'If you don't lend me troops, I'll burn down Tang City'!"

"We have lived in Tang City for generations. Tang City is our home. We must protect our home. Please ask the city lord to lend us troops immediately!"

"Please ask the city lord to lend me troops immediately!"

The people knelt on the ground and pleaded again in a thunderous voice.

"This..." Faced with this situation, Jun Zhonglin was a little overwhelmed. After a while, he comforted them weakly, "People, have you ever thought about whether these things were caused by evil people?"

"How is it possible?" Before he finished speaking, someone refuted him sharply, "Words appeared on the statue out of thin air, houses caught fire for no reason, and wild beasts in the mountains entered the city and caused chaos. How could these signs be possible by human power? This is clearly a miracle, and it is clearly the work of the mountain god!"

"That's right! It's the mountain god who showed up! It's impossible for humans to do these things."

"Please don't be so stubborn as to question the mountain god. It will easily bring you trouble!"

The people obviously did not buy Jun Zhonglin's words and refuted him angrily.

Jun Zhonglin was speechless. After being reminded by Lu Xiuyuan and others, he had some doubts that the "mountain god" incident was a man-made mischief, but now the people's words left him speechless.

After all, no one could explain those strange signs.
