Madmen don't keep diaries

Chapter 42 042 Fighting
Yu Duanhun gave Feng Xiuhu two choices. He felt that if Feng Xiuhu was a little smart, he would know which one would be more beneficial to him.

He had not considered the impact that what happened last night would have on Feng Xiuhu, nor did he intentionally target Feng Xiuhu. In his opinion, it was just an insignificant little order he had casually issued.

He only needed to say a few words and the ceremonial staff would be responsible for carrying out the order, which was so small that he would forget about it as soon as he turned around.

If there is any impact, it is only to further prove to Feng Xiuhu the temple's voice in the port area.

But Feng Xiuhu was timid and couldn't stand seeing such things. He was irritated. Last night, Shunzi held his hand and led his brothers out of the port area in disgrace amid the curses of the crowd.

My chaotic thoughts have nowhere to go. All kinds of thoughts are like messy hair that can never be straightened out. When I smooth one end, the other end sticks out again.

There was no time to think about whether his brain was good or not. Feng Xiuhu didn't want to choose any of them now. He just wanted to vent all the madness in his mind.

……

If nothing unexpected happens, today should be the last negotiation between the church and the temple regarding this incident.

As two key figures at the center of the incident, Hollis Wu and Yu Duanhun also attended the meeting.

The person who led the negotiations on the church side was Archbishop Toverson Zhao, and in order to be equal, the temple only sent the great priest Ma Binghe.

At the meeting, Archbishop Toverson Zhao said that it was the choir's duty to preach to the public and the church had no reason to stop it, but Feng Xiuhu's preaching in the port area did not obtain the church's approval and was a personal act.

Grand Priest Ma Binghe affirmed this, emphasizing that individuals are responsible for their own actions and that the church is not essentially responsible for this incident.

The two sides reached a consensus on this and agreed to resume discussions on missionary rights in the port area after stability is restored.

On the way back, Yu Duanhun went with Hollis Wu because it was on the way.

Putting aside the differences in their underlying positions, there is actually no conflict between them.

But after today, that may not be the case.

Yu Duanhun smiled on the surface, but he was actually secretly complaining in his heart - poaching Feng Xiuhu here is no different from slapping Hollis Wu in the face. This foreigner will definitely be furious.

The Divine Guard squad led by Officer Semm was affiliated with the Factory District Temple, but he was also punished after the incident with Luo Mengzhang, so in order not to repeat the same mistake, he tried his best to ensure that he was inseparable from Hollis Wu.

Even now, Yu Duanhun and Hollis Wu were chatting and laughing in the front, with the guard officer Semu following behind, only half a body length behind Hollis Wu.

"Will Father Hollis be sorry?"

Yu Duanhun asked with a smile, "Speaking of which, Feng Xiuhu is quite capable. He has both courage, insight, and intelligence. He has single-handedly brought things to this point—he's quite the capable man."

Hollis Wu wore a proper smile, but his expression didn't change at all. "Regret? No, maybe you're right. He does have his own unique qualities, but so what? He's just an ordinary person after all. He can't see further, and he can't understand things beyond his cognition. That's why he can't judge the consequences of his momentary impulse."

Yu Duanhun smiled and nodded, saying with a double meaning, "I'm glad you don't feel sorry. Wait until I get back, and the matter will have a conclusion today."

Hollis Wu nodded slightly: "There are still many official matters waiting for me to deal with in the Holy Church. I am afraid I don't have the energy to pay attention to other things today."

The two of them walked down the slope, making witty remarks all the way, and before they knew it, they were almost at the factory area.

Suddenly, there was a sharp whistling sound. Yu Duan, who was just turning around and talking, didn't even turn his head back. He stretched out his hand and grabbed -

A crossbow arrow was held in his palm, the tail end was still trembling, and the sharp arrow head was only a few centimeters away from Yu Duan Hun's head.

Clang!
Officer Semu drew his sword and stepped forward to stop Hollis Wu behind him.

The three of them looked in the direction of the crossbow arrow at the same time.

A nimble figure jumped down from the roof over there and disappeared behind the wall.

Where did the assassin come from?
Who are you targeting?

Doubts arose in the three people's minds, and suddenly they found someone blocking their way. "Feng Xiuhu?"

When Hollis Wu shouted in surprise, Yu Duanhun had already narrowed his eyes and his expression gradually became gloomy.

Feng Xiuhu silently unbuttoned the first button of his shirt, took out a cigarette box and lit it.

His eyes were not visible under the shadow of his hat.

"call……"

As the smoke cleared, Feng Xiuhu finally raised his eyes and said, "Old Wu, someone is trying to steal your girlfriend, and you don't do anything about it?"

Hollis Wu was stunned.

Yu Duanhun's expression suddenly changed: "Shut up!"

With a pinch of his right hand, Yu Duanhun shouted, "Wind!"

A strong wind suddenly blew, causing Yu Duanhun's long gown to flutter.

He flicked his fingers, an explosion sounded in the air, and an invisible ripple rushed towards Feng Xiuhu.

Feng Xiuhu made a quick decision, held down his hat and lay down, while another crossbow arrow was shot from the other side.

But this time the crossbow arrow was even more powerful. Yu Duanhun didn't even dodge. When the crossbow arrow flew around Yu Duan, it was blown off target by the strong wind and flew past Yu Duan's back.

Hollis Wu also reacted at this time. Before Duan Hun was about to attack again, he held the pendant on his chest and quickly recited a prayer. The thick fog immediately enveloped everyone.

Feng Xiuhu stood up, crouched down and changed his position in the fog, listening carefully to the movements around him.

Yu Duanhun's voice seemed to come from far away: "Holis Wu! Have you forgotten the decision of the meeting? He deserves to die!"

Hollis Wu's voice echoed from all directions: "Of course I haven't forgotten, Master Priest, but to avoid misunderstandings, you'd better explain clearly first - what does it mean to pry someone away?"

This is just Feng Xiuhu's one-sided statement, and Hollis Wu will not believe it easily, but the more important reason is that Feng Xiuhu cannot die here.

The deacon of the church was executed by the temple in front of him, and he, a priest, just watched it?

The church was humiliated and its prestige was completely destroyed.

So Feng Xiuhu can die, but he must not die in front of him.

Feng Xiuhu answered this question for Yu Duanhun: "He asked me to lead the choir and work with him, and he also said he would give me the position of high priest!"

Yu Duanhun said anxiously: "He is lying!"

This is obviously a lie. Yu Duanhun hasn't even served as the chief priest long enough, so how could he give the position to someone else?

Feng Xiuhu also felt that he had exaggerated, so he added: "I remembered it wrongly! He said he wanted to work with me to destroy the church! Drive the foreign gods out of Fancheng!"

Yu Duanhun became even more anxious: "I never said that!"

Hollis Wu remained silent, and there was also a Semu guard officer who had not made any movement and was hiding somewhere. Yu Duanhun realized that he could not be led by the nose anymore, so he changed his magic technique.

"Turn into rain, cleanse!"

Suddenly, Feng Xiuhu felt the air become humid. He subconsciously spread out his hands to feel it, only to find that it was raining densely.

The rolling fog seemed to have become much thinner under the washing of rain.
