The city lord died, and the incident happened suddenly, and the entire Yunfeng was shrouded in a cloud.Madam collapsed when she heard the news.

Yunfeng Mansion is in chaos.

Wen Shixing stood by Liu Zonghe's bed, and the maid next to him explained, "When Young Master Liu was having trouble with the city lord, the city lord was already in a coma."

"Then does he know?" Wen Shixing stared at that face, his brows were tightly frowned, and his forehead was covered with sweat.He wiped it lightly with a handkerchief.

"The city lord fainted after Young Master Liu left."

Wen Shixing's eyes darkened, "Don't make this public, you can go down."

Unexpectedly, such a thing would happen.Wen Shixing lowered his head and clasped the edge of the bed tightly.If I knew this earlier, I would...

Wen Shixing sighed heavily, thinking of getting up and going to his wife's room to have a look.Suddenly his arm tightened, he let out an exclamation, and fell into Liu Zonghe's arms.

The man wrapped his arms around his waist, his chin pressed against his shoulder, "...don't go..."

Wen Shixing thought for a while, then leaned on his chest honestly, "Sorry, if I don't ask you, I won't..."

Before he finished speaking, the man interrupted him immediately, "Don't say such things."

"It's me, it's me who killed it. It has nothing to do with you, don't think too much about it." Liu Zonghe hugged Wen Shixing tightly and closed his eyes.

"How is my mother?"

Wen Shixing shook his head, "I heard from the maid that Madam cried in the study last night, and now she has been helped back to her room."

The world is unpredictable, and I never thought that the city lord would die like this.

"You don't leave me, okay?"

The man's words made Wen Shixing's heart tighten. He reached out and grabbed the other's sleeve, and said calmly, "Okay."

How could he not know the pain of losing his father? Back then, Wen Shixing didn't even have a chance to suffer for his father. He was busy running around, running for his life, and saving his mother.

When he came back to his senses, he couldn't shed a single tear.

"I know, it's cruel to say these words now. But Madam has already collapsed, Yunfeng Mansion can only be run by you, and the whole city cannot live without the city lord."

After hearing Wen Shixing's words, Liu Zonghe smiled wryly, "You know what? My father seldom told me how to be a castellan. He always wanted me to play the role of the young castellan."

"Perhaps in his heart, I can't bear such a heavy responsibility."

Wen Shixing stood up suddenly, staring into Liu Zonghe's eyes, "But now, only you can."

"Madam needs you, and Yunfeng needs you too."

The man looked at Wen Shixing's face and sat up slowly. He held Wen Shixing's hand tightly, thinking of when Honglian was massacred.

Liu Zonghe imagined countless possibilities, maybe Wen Shixing would faint in Honglian on the spot, or just collapse and become a lunatic.

Unexpectedly, he was much stronger than he thought.

This time his father died in front of his eyes. At that moment, Liu Zonghe thought of apologizing with death, and thought that he should be kicked out of Yunfeng City.

He felt that he was not worthy to be a castellan.

"You have to cheer up, Madam is still waiting for you, she needs you so much, you can't let her lose her husband and her son."

Liu Zonghe's lips trembled, he lowered his head, his eyes turned red, he was the one who killed his father, and now he is the one who takes his father's place.

He let out a laugh, and when he raised his eyes, his eyes were filled with tears, "...how do you think I am worthy..."

"Whether worthy or not, it can only be you. You are the only young city lord of Yunfeng. You can't leave Yunfeng City behind." Wen Shixing's face became serious, and he grabbed Liu Zonghe's hands.

"Follow me to see my wife." Wen Shixing whispered, his tone became much gentler, and one hand slowly approached his cheek, half to comfort him.

But Liu Zonghe shook his head, retreated to the foot of the bed all of a sudden, and muttered, "I can't see her, I can't see..."

"Why..." Wen Shixing looked at him, never seen him so helpless, he put his hands on his temples, and buried his face between his knees.

"I killed my father...I'm a sinner."

Wen Shixing's mouth was half open, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he was speechless for a long time.He turned around slowly, "sinner", what a horrible word.Once it is placed on a person's head, it cannot be removed for a long time.

He stood up from the bed, Liu Zonghe's actions did indeed lead to his father's departure.But he, Wen Shixing, has no responsibility at all. The grievances and grievances between Honglian and Yunfeng are covered up by the word "family friend" to let the world know.

Only when they are in this vortex can they understand the current situation of the two cities.

For Honglian to be like this today, Yunfeng's [-] elite soldiers are responsible.With City Lord Yunfeng like this, Wen Shixing couldn't escape the responsibility.

Wen Shixing was a little dazed, he vaguely remembered how they looked when they talked about family friends, and he really couldn't think of this day.

"Don't go!" As soon as Wen Shixing moved his legs, someone hugged his waist.

"Are you leaving me again?" Liu Zonghe's trembling voice came from behind.Wen Shixing frowned slightly, and his palm covered Liu Zonghe's hand.

"I'm going to see my wife, and the mourning hall... There are a lot of things to deal with."

As he said that, Wen Shixing pulled the man's hand away, and he glanced back at Liu Zonghe, "I'll be back when I've dealt with it."

The man stared at him blankly, his eyes locked on Wen Shixing's face.

Wen Shixing trotted all the way to his wife's room, the corridor was covered with white cloth strips, coupled with the strong cold wind, suddenly felt a sense of depression.

When he arrived at the yard, he heard a low sobbing sound inside, Wen Shixing stopped and looked at the wooden door, such a situation would only remind him of Honglian even more.

If he had gone back earlier, maybe besides the crying of people, there would probably be rivers of blood flowing all over the street.

Wen Shixing shook his head and approached the room.Madam was lying sideways on the bed, surrounded by several maids.

"lady."

Hearing the movement, Madam turned her face suddenly, with tears in her eyes, she almost fell off the bed, and the maids rushed to help her.

"Xing Xing, what's going on? What did He'er do to make his father leave without saying anything?"

Looking at the madam who was crying so hard that she had no energy left, Wen Shixing's nose felt sour, and he helped her to the soft couch.

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have borrowed soldiers from you." Wen Shixing lowered his eyebrows and told the reasons for all the stories, understanding the bitterness and pain in the heart one by one.

"Ma'am, you have to take care of your health, Yunfeng cannot do without you."

The madam has collapsed, she shook her head, "I'd better let him go!"

Speaking of Madam, she suddenly got up and was about to hit the head of the bed, Wen Shixing was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward with a group of maids to stop her.

"Ma'am! Don't worry about it! Isn't there still Liu Zonghe here? With him here, you can rest assured!"

Wen Shixing was in a hurry and could only say such words.But Liu Zonghe is deeply in self-blame now, and has no intention of managing Yunfeng at all.

"Yes, He'er, where is He'er? Let him come to see me, I want him to kowtow to his father in front of the mourning hall."

Wen Shixing reached out his hand to smooth his wife's messy hair, "I will let him come to see you, you should take a rest first, don't get overwhelmed."

As he spoke, he helped him back to the bed, and told the maids to take good care of his wife.

Coming out of the courtyard, Wen Shixing felt blocked for a while, the lord of Yunfeng City had fallen, not to mention the chaos here, if he encountered another foreign enemy, it would be worse.

If this Yunfeng is really so unlucky, his fate will not be better than that of Honglian.

When he walked to the mourning hall, apart from the housekeeper calling people out hoarsely, what Wen Shixing saw were paper money flying all over the sky, servants and maids who walked in disarray, and even the altar was in a mess.

Wen Shixing walked into the hall, only to find that a candle had gone out, but no one responded.He picked up an incense and lit it again, and tidied up the table.

"Young Master Wen, why doesn't this Young Master Liu come to the mourning hall?" A maid who burned paper money asked.

Wen Shixing knelt on the round cattail beside him, and handed over some paper money, "Young Master Liu is sad, and he will come when he is better."

He looked up at the coffin in front of him, sighed silently, knelt down and burned some paper money, then walked to the butler, "Tell them to be quiet, don't run into the city lord in front of the mourning hall."

"Yes."

Suddenly, Wen Shixing felt a white spot fall from his eyelashes. He blinked, looked up, and found white spots falling from the distant sky.

Snowing.

"Young Master Wen." A familiar voice sounded behind him, Wen Shixing recovered from the snow, turned around and saw Yan Zhen and Cheng Yun standing not far away.

The mourning hall was inconvenient, so Wen Shixing invited them to the room where he lived before.It was still clean and warm there.He asked the maids to serve Yan Zhen a pot of good tea.

"Are you okay?" Yan Zhen asked suddenly, looking at Wen Shixing who was lighting a charcoal fire to keep warm in front of him.

"I'm fine, but Liu Zonghe will probably be in self-blame for a while." Wen Shixing walked to the soft couch and reached out to hold the hot teacup.

"Where is Madam? It should be even worse." Yan Zhen asked, thinking about something, and shook his head helplessly.

Madam has been by the city lord's side since she was a child. Even though she is smart and behaves well, it is unbearable for this to happen to her sweetheart.

"Liu Zonghe doesn't have time to blame himself." Yan Zhen said truthfully, he paused, and whispered: "Nancheng has not been peaceful recently, except for Honglian, it seems that several cities have been robbed."

"What did you say? Why hasn't there been any news from Yunfeng?"

Seeing that Wen Shixing was excited, Yan Zhen hurriedly pulled him to the seat, and whispered: "Yunfeng has always blocked military news outside the city very well. I am away all year round, and I know many friends in various cities. Naturally psychic."

"You mean, he will keep an eye on Yunfeng?"

"It's hard to say, but judging from the current situation, Yunfeng is indeed a soft persimmon." He took a deep breath, "If Liu Zonghe doesn't plan to do something, my suggestion is that you should come with me and go to the north to escape. "

Wen Shixing never imagined that Wen Ziqian had become so crazy outside, and he didn't answer the other party's words, "Wen Ziqian is so crazy, people in other cities didn't want to do anything?"

"Yes, the city that resisted first disappeared silently overnight."
