[Comprehensive martial arts] The city lord is famous

The streets were in chaos, the flames turned the sky and the earth red, and the billowing smoke twisted with the wind, and it took dozens of battles before it drifted away, leaving half of the city with a choking smell.The surrounding city residents and low-level officials mixed together to fight the fire. Everyone's face was covered in ashes, and they hurried past with buckets, and the ground was covered with spilled water.

The servants of Xingyunzhuang also went out to help put out the fire. Some of the Jiang Hu people in the guest room had nothing to do with them and were still sleeping peacefully in the room, and some ran out to check the situation.Ye Gucheng and Li Xunhuan did not go with them, but came out of Lengxiang Xiaozhu directly over the wall, and rushed to the inn with many city residents fighting the fire.

In fact, it is too late to do anything now, the inn is already seriously burned, and it is useless to rely on buckets of water from everyone.What everyone is trying to do is to control the fire, so as not to burn other houses around and cause a series of fires.Among the crowd, Li Xunhuan saw the inn completely engulfed in flames from a distance, and before he could get close, he was already coughing from choking.

"Wait here." Ye Gucheng said to him, and walked quickly towards the inn.

The closer the distance is, the more you can feel the heat wave coming from the flames. Ye Gucheng stopped on the opposite side of the fire scene, looked around, and saw the disheveled innkeeper behind a water truck, and many guests still wearing underwear.

Everyone was awakened from their sleep, and they ran out without any time to pack their things. The luggage and items were all in the fire at this time, so everyone was frowning.

The shopkeeper was also dirty and huddled behind the water tanker, his capable appearance during the day could not be seen at all, if he hadn't recognized that face, Ye Gucheng would almost have regarded him as an ordinary beggar.

"What's going on here?"

Hearing the inquiry, the shopkeeper looked up at Ye Gucheng with a face full of black ashes, and said dejectedly: "You ask me, who do I want to ask? I slept well in the middle of the night, who knew it would suddenly catch fire!"

The surrounding residents did not speak, and seemed to agree with the shopkeeper's statement. No one knew how the fire started.Some people were lamenting, some were crying, and they didn't even bother to doubt the origin of the stranger in front of them.

Ye Gucheng glanced over them one by one, and said to the shopkeeper: "There are so many guests, maybe someone forgot to extinguish the candle."

"What do you mean!" A middle-aged man who was already irritable stood up abruptly, almost venting his depression to Ye Gucheng, but Ye Gucheng just gave him a cold look, and that person instantly misfired up.Ye Gucheng's eyes are too cold, ordinary people can't bear it.

The shopkeeper was not in the mood to persuade others, but just waved his hand and explained to Ye Gucheng: "It's not because of the guests, the house that burned first was empty at all tonight. Do you think it's strange or not!"

This is indeed strange.Ye Gucheng looked up at the burning inn, lost in thought.The shopkeeper said again: "That guest was also lucky. He was in a hurry to get out of the city tonight and left. If he was still living here, he would have been burned to death by this inexplicable fire."

Ye Gucheng's heart skipped a beat: "Are you talking about a young man wearing a red cloak?"

The shopkeeper looked at him suspiciously: "How do you know?"

"He is my friend." Ye Gucheng said, throwing several gold leaves to the shopkeeper, and turned to leave.The shopkeeper hurriedly caught him, and wanted to hold him, but Ye Gucheng gently turned sideways to avoid his hand.

The shopkeeper explained: "I don't have any other intentions. The fire was not set by the young master's friend, so there is no need for the young master."

Ye Gucheng said coldly: "I gave it for someone else, you can accept it."

Who are the others?The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Ye Gucheng was about to leave again, he hurriedly ran up to him: "Please also tell me the name of your benefactor. Even if I have no chance to repay you in the future, I must know who helped me."

I don't know if it was an illusion under the light of the fire, or Ye Gucheng's expression softened a little. The shopkeeper seemed to soften when he heard his cold voice: "It is Li Xunhuan who will help you."

Tanhualang?Tanhualang is really back?If he really came back, are those rumors on the rivers and lakes true?But if it is true, if Li Xun Huan is really a heinous villain, why would he help me?

The shopkeeper was full of doubts, and if he tried to chase him again, Ye Gucheng had already left him far behind.The white-clothed swordsman clearly saw his footsteps were not too fast or slow, but he had disappeared into the chaotic crowd in just a few breaths.

Li Xunhuan was still waiting on the spot.When Ye Gucheng came back, he was helping a young man who had stumbled to his feet.The man ran back and forth to put out the fire, the water and black ash on his face and body were mixed into a piece of mud, and his hands left two clear marks on Li Xun Huan's clothes.

Under the pitch-black night, the flames shrouded everything around in flickering crimson. It was hard to see clearly. The man was in a hurry to put out the fire, got up and left. He didn't know what kind of damage his hands had caused on Li Xun Huan's clothes. devastating effect.

Ye Gucheng paused, then pulled Li Xunhuan away from the street and walked into a narrow alley.

"Where's Lu Xiaofeng?" Seeing him coming back, Li Xunhuan immediately asked.

Ye Gucheng: "It's already gone."

Li Xun Huan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Ye Gucheng felt that it was unnecessary to worry about Lu Xiaofeng.As long as he doesn't touch women, Lu Xiaofeng is very shrewd, and he won't fall into things like smoke like them, and he won't be trapped by things like fire.However, Li Xunhuan's worry about his friend has never been reduced because of his friend's high martial arts skills or clever mind. Ye Gucheng just told him the news that Lu Xiaofeng had left, and didn't say anything more.

Before the fire was extinguished, Li Xunhuan wanted to help, but he coughed even if he got close, so he had to obediently follow Ye Gucheng back.Before leaving, he turned his head and looked at the burning inn: "I don't know what the shopkeeper will do in the future."

Ye Gucheng: "He can repair this place and continue to open the inn."

Li Xun Huan sighed, "It's not that easy."

Ye Gucheng pulled him, and walked back against the firefighters. When the people around gradually decreased and the noise became distant, he said: "I left him gold leaves, enough for him to repair this place like a new one."

Li Xun Huan looked at him in surprise, Ye Gucheng continued: "I told him, it was given to him for Li Xun Huan."

Li Xunhuan: "I didn't give him anything."

Ye Gucheng: "I took care of him because of you. What I gave was the golden leaf of the City Lord's Mansion, and you are also the owner of the City Lord's Mansion."

The deserted voices of the people around him were very clear in the alley, Li Xun Huan lowered his head and coughed to cover up the pink on his face.His hand was still being held by Ye Gucheng, the two of them walked through the alley to the outside of Lengxiang Xiaozhu's wall, Li Xunhuan thought they were going to turn in again, but Ye Gucheng pulled him to stop.

Li Xun Huan turned around in confusion, before he could see Ye Gucheng's face approaching suddenly, he had already leaned against the wall and kissed him.There was some cold behind him, Li Xunhuan moved, Ye Gucheng hugged him in a circle, leaned against the wall and let him lean against him.

There were still people's hurried footsteps outside the alley, Ye Gucheng heard it, but he didn't care.Ever since Li Xun Huan's kiss that made him burst into tears, he had an unusual liking for this man's soft lips.Except for swords, he had never had such a liking for anything else.

The kiss didn't last long, Li Xun Huan panted and raised his head to look at him accusingly, with water in his eyes.Ye Gucheng moved his gaze over his wet lips, and calmly said, "This is outside."

Li Xun Huan was stunned for a moment before remembering what Ye Gucheng said before the break tonight, he couldn't help laughing, the little flame in his heart disappeared.

If he likes to kiss, let him kiss.

Anyway, I don't like this kind of thing.

The two climbed over the wall and returned to the yard. Ye Jiu hadn't come back yet, probably because he had already joined the crowd fighting the fire.Ye Gucheng walked to the door of the room, when he turned around, Li Xunhuan was not behind him, but walked to the stone table in the courtyard, and picked up a kit on the table.

The kit was bright red, neither of them had such a thing.Before this evening, there was no such bag on the table.

"Is this Ye Jiu's?" Li Xun Huan asked.

Ye Gucheng shook his head.Ye Jiu has always pursued pragmatism, and such delicate things are completely unpopular with him.

Li Xun Huan squeezed the kit, opened it, and inside was a note.Ye Gucheng came over and watched him unfold the note, revealing Lu Xiaofeng's handwriting.

"I'm being targeted, let's go first. You leave Xingyun Villa tomorrow as planned, and I'll wait for you at Songshan Mountain." Li Xunhuan read, and anger rose in his heart: "Sure enough, someone is trying to kill him."

Ye Gucheng: "Fortunately, he has already left."

Li Xun Huan did not heave a sigh of relief.Long Xiaoyun wanted to harm him, it was a grievance between the two of them, he could be tolerant, he could not care, he could just find a way to get rid of the troubles Long Xiaoyun caused, and not retaliate against him, but if it happened to Lu Xiaofeng, different.Li Xunhuan can't bear others hurting his friend, let alone bring danger to his friend.Long Xiaoyun's behavior tonight finally stepped on his bottom line.

"When all the dust settles, I hope Long Xiaoyun will pay for what he has done." Li Xunhuan said.

Ye Gucheng listened, thinking that if this is your wish, I can kill him.However, Li Xunhuan went on to say: "According to the law, framing, arson, and attempted murder are punishable for several crimes. He should be sent into exile."

law?As the lord of Baiyun City, Ye Gucheng, who was used to following the rules, was stunned.

So paying the price is not to kill him, but to let him be exiled by the court?Ye Gucheng really wanted to say that even if the imperial court really did this, with the current atmosphere in the officialdom, as long as someone is willing to pay money, Long Xiaoyun may be replaced, and he will make a comeback in a few years.But in the end he still didn't say it.

Since Li Xunhuan's wish was like this, let Long Xiaoyun be confiscated and exiled. As for the rest, Ye San can do it.

The author has something to say: I wrote too hastily every day without saving the manuscript. In order to ensure the quality of the updated article, I decided to change it to every two days.

Ye Gucheng: My wife wants to teach me the law, okay.
