Cultivation: Overturning the Rain and Turning the Clouds

It wasn't until the eastern sky turned pale, that the gate of the City Lord's Mansion was pushed open from the outside, and Hu Gui and Wei Tong walked in slowly with tired and frustrated expressions on their faces.

Seeing the faces of Hu Gui and Wei Tong, Wu Xun laughed and pretended to say loudly, "Look, the hero who exterminated the Forbidden Ghost Army is back!"

Xue Dongfeng waited all night, even for this moment, the smile on his face immediately bloomed, raised his glass to Wan Dong, and said with a big smile, "Congratulations, city lord, congratulations, city lord, just arrived in my God Thunder City , and made such an incomparable feat!"

Wan Dong frowned slightly, and said, "Master Xue, don't worry, let Hu Gui talk about the battle situation first!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Wu Xun hurriedly agreed, poured a glass of wine himself, walked towards Hu Gui quickly, and said from a long distance, "Brother Hu, it's really hard work for you! You must have gained a lot tonight, right? Now, are there any survivors in the Ghost Guards, bring them all up, let us open our eyes too!"

The guards brought by Xue Dongfeng who were not his confidantes also got a taste of it at this time, and all kinds of praises rushed towards Hu Gui and Wei Tong like a storm.This is a typical flattery, the higher the flattery, the faster the death!

Hu Gui's complexion was ugly at first, and he was even more ashamed to be coaxed by Wu Xun and the others.It's not because he can't bear Wu Xun's insult, but because he feels that he has failed Wan Dong's trust in him, and even more, he has lost Wan Dong's face in front of everyone.

"Go away!" Hu Gui was already annoying enough, but Wu Xun kept making noises, it would be strange if Hu Gui could give him a good face.

"Hey! Commander Hu, it's your fault. Why, you don't know your brothers just now? Don't worry, your brothers won't take advantage of you!" Wu Xun sarcastically said, really Set, every word sees blood.

"You..." Hu Gui glared fiercely at Wu Xun, so angry that he couldn't even speak.

"Commander Hu, Lord City Lord is full of expectations for your battle tonight, and I just waited for you here all night!"

"City Lord..." Hearing Xue Dongfeng say that Wan Dong was waiting for him all night, Hu Gui felt even more panicked.

Xue Dongfeng didn't wait for Hu Gui to finish speaking, and then continued, "How about Hu Gui, the city lord's ingenious calculations, coupled with your bravery and martial arts, the ghost forbidden army that harmed one side must be completely wiped out, right?"

Hu Gui originally wanted to tell Wan Dong the truth that the Forbidden Ghost Army had never appeared in the north of the city tonight, but when he heard Xue Dongfeng's words, he immediately swallowed the words back.If he really said that, wouldn't the city lord's ingenious plan become a joke?

Hu Gui's heart skipped a beat, and he made up his mind.It is already wrong for him to fail to make meritorious service to the city lord, and if he hurts the reputation of the city lord, then he is really an asshole.

Thinking of this, Hu Gui suddenly knelt down in front of Wan Dong with a thud, and said loudly, "My lord, my subordinates are incompetent, I can't... I can't kill all the ghost guards, let them escape, please... ...Please, Lord City Lord, punish you for your crimes!"

As soon as Hu Gui said this, Xue Dongfeng and Wu Xun looked at each other in surprise.Wu Xun couldn't help but opened his mouth and asked, "Hu Gui, what you mean, you encountered the ghost guards in the north of the city tonight, but they escaped?"

"Exactly!" Hu Gui nodded heavily and said without hesitation.

Wei Tong, who was kneeling beside him, looked at Hu Gui suspiciously, but after all, the two had been partners for many years, and soon understood what he was thinking, and remained silent.

"Impossible!" Hu Gui's answer made Wu Xun subconsciously yell.Several leaders of the Ghost Forbidden Army are all here, and none of them have fallen.Without their leadership, it would be impossible for the Forbidden Ghost Army to appear in the north of the city.

"Hehe... Wu Xun, why is it impossible? Why are you so sure?" Wan Dong looked at Wu Xun with a smile.

Wu Xun was startled, he cursed himself for not being able to hold his breath, and almost missed the point, and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, the city lord, misunderstood, what I said is impossible, I mean Commander Hu is wise and powerful, since he encountered the ghost guards , it is impossible to let them slip away.”

Xue Dongfeng didn't expect that Hu Gui would be so righteous. In order to prevent Wan Dong from making a fool of himself, he would carry everything by himself.What is Hu Gui?What Xue Dongfeng really wanted to deal with was Wan Dong.Being disturbed by Hu Gui, Xue Dongfeng's purpose of making fun of Wan Dong immediately came to nothing. He was so annoyed that he immediately poured all his anger on Hu Gui.

"Hu Gui! Before you left, how did you promise to the city lord? You kept saying that you would definitely wipe out the Forbidden Ghost Army, but what happened? Because of your incompetence, you missed a critical opportunity to destroy the Forbidden Ghost Army in vain. Good opportunity. I don’t know how many people will be murdered by the ghost guards in the future! Are you guilty!?”

How could Hu Gui not know that Xue Dongfeng was making trouble, and he clenched his steel teeth tightly, bloodshot gums oozing from his gums.

"My lord, my lord, the commander-in-chief, I feel that what happened tonight is very strange. You think, Hu Gui, who commanded thousands of people, set up an ambush in advance. Even if all the ghost guards have wings, there is no reason for them to survive. But in the end, the Forbidden Ghost Army actually retreated completely, which is completely unreasonable! Therefore, the subordinates believe that Hu Gui must have colluded with the Forbidden Ghost Army to deliberately release the water tonight!" Wu Xun said with certainty.

"That's right! This seat thinks so too! Only in this way can we explain all of this." Xue Dongfeng agreed immediately.

"You...you are bloody!" Hu Gui roared angrily.

"Huh, are we spitting blood? Then you explain, how did the ghost guards retreat from your ambush circle? Could it be that you, Hu Gui, and your officers and soldiers are all dead?" Wu Xun yelled at Hu Gui a few times He turned his head to look at Wan Dong, and said with regret on his face, "My lord, thanks to your ingenuity, I have an excellent opportunity tonight, but because of Hu Gui's betrayal, the success fell short! Hu Gui's crime is simply heinous! Please The city lord immediately ordered to kill this thief!"

"Subordinates agree!"

Wu Xun's words immediately received countless responses.

Hu Gui's expression was as bitter as if he had swallowed two catties of coptis, but he couldn't refute it.He bowed his head, looking extremely depressed!

Seeing that Hu Gui had been driven to a dead end, Xue Dongfeng looked up proudly and stared at Wan Dong, waiting to see how he would deal with Hu Gui.

"Hu Gui, Hu Gui, do you know, you really deserve to die!" Wan Dong stood up slowly, and said to Hu Gui word by word.

Hearing Wan Dong's words, Hu Gui's heart was filled with despair, and his head couldn't be lowered any lower.

"Do you know why I said you deserve to die? It's not because you got nothing tonight, but because you lied to me!"

"Cheat... lie to you?" Hu Gui looked up at Wan Dong with a look of bewilderment and bewilderment.

"Let me ask you, did you really see the ghost guards in the north of the city tonight?"

"I...I..." Hu Gui really wanted to find out Wan Dong's thoughts, but Wan Dong's thoughts were too elusive. For a while, Hu Gui had no idea at all.I don't know whether to stick to it or tell the truth.

"What me? If you can see the ghost guards in the north of the city tonight, you will be damned!" Wan Dong shouted and said firmly.

"Ah!?" When Wan Dong said this, Hu Gui was stunned, and his mind became a mess.

Xue Dongfeng, Wu Xun and the others were also stunned, they all turned into Monk Zhang Er, completely confused.

"Hehe... Hu Gui, do you want to know why you didn't see the ghost guards in the north of the city tonight?"

Hu Gui only felt that he had completely lost his ability to think, so he just nodded subconsciously.

Wan Dong raised his head to the sky and laughed wildly, pointing at Xue Dongfeng, Wu Xun said, "I have imprisoned the heads of the Forbidden Ghost Army in the City Lord's Mansion, and the Forbidden Ghost Army has not moved at all, so of course you won't see them."

"My lord, what do you mean?" Xue Dongfeng was furious, and immediately roared.

Wan Dong sneered, looked at Xue Dongfeng and said, "Xue Dongfeng, it's already at this time, do you still want to deny it? In fact, when I was in Qixia Mountain, I already knew that you are the mastermind behind the Forbidden Ghost Army! "

"You...you are talking nonsense! You are planting maliciously, I can definitely sue the court! Don't think that your Xu family is so powerful that you can slander good people at will!" Wan Dong's piercing and determined eyes made Xue Dongfeng's mood became more tense every moment.It's like being caught when you do something bad.Guilt is spreading in Xu Dongfeng's heart in an unstoppable manner.

"A good guy? You deserve to be called a 'good guy'? Shut up! Don't tarnish these two words!" Wan Dong yelled loudly and slapped his palm on the table. The good banquet on the table was immediately blown to pieces, and the residue fell on the floor.

Thinking of those piles of headless corpses, the anger in Wan Dong's heart immediately burned fiercely, and he could no longer suppress it.

Seeing Wan Dong suddenly burst into such anger at Xue Dongfei, Hu Gui was even more confused.However, he still had a little insight, so he immediately reacted, pulled Wei Tong and whispered softly, and Wei Tong flew away immediately.In a short while, the entire City Lord's Mansion was completely surrounded.

"Xu Yaoting, do you think that I am the mastermind behind the Ghost Forbidden Army just by using a small token? You are too light-hearted, aren't you?" Call Wan Dong by his first name.

"Of course not! I took out the token, and I didn't expect you to plead guilty. I just used it to see who is Xue Dongfeng's real confidant in this group of people." Said Then, Wan Dong pointed to Wu Xun, then pointed to several people in Xue Dongfeng's guards, sneered, and said, "If my guess is correct, you are all controlling the leader of the Ghost Forbidden Army for Xue Dongfeng, right? Hmph! When I When you took out the tokens, your wonderful expressions perfectly explained the four words - guilty conscience!"
