It doesn't matter what the lord is.

The crowd continued to pour in, and masters from all walks of life also gathered here. I saw that the situation was not good, so I looked around and looked for a way to escape. I didn't find the way, but I found that the high part of the hillside was uninhabited, and the snow was piled up very high. In addition, the hillside was steep, and it looked like it was about to collapse.

Alayya fought with the gunman again, and the sound of metal clanging was endless. Heji's opponent was more difficult, a swordsman of level 7.5, and he used a pair of very practical swords. Heji could only defend himself and had no chance to fight back. I cursed in my heart. In this world, those who use human wave tactics are all using a group of noobs to encircle and suppress a master. I have never heard of using a group of masters to deal with us noobs.

I was furious, but it was inconvenient for me to do anything in front of so many people. Before Superman transformed, he had to find a place with no one around to put on his red shorts. I couldn't just do it. Don't you know that real people don't show their faces?

I said to Heji and Alayya:

"Don't be wary."

Then he took a deep breath and shouted with all his strength:

"Murder - murder in broad daylight - is there anyone who can do anything about it?!"

Of course no one cares.

But after the sound echoed in the mountains several times, a "crackling" sound like a branch breaking suddenly came from the top of the mountain.

Then, the sound gradually became weird, heavier, and more terrifying, and the heart of the listener dropped straight down. I kicked away a few guys who were blocking the way and said loudly:

"There's an avalanche! Everyone, run!"

The crowd, with red eyes, cast angry glances at me.

What is this? It's like I sneaked into someone's house, set it on fire, then quietly walked to his bed, woke him up, and whispered in his ear gently and considerately: Run for your life, brother, your house is on fire!

This wasn't the first time I had done such an immoral thing. I didn't blush or feel nervous. While the crowd was still in a daze, I pulled Bai Huang and Wu Mi and ran away.

Originally we were being surrounded from all directions, but the situation suddenly changed and I was the one rushing to the front, leading everyone to escape in one direction.

I know the sound of my own voice. It just collapsed the snow on our part of the cliff, which won't cause too many casualties, but it's loud enough. When the avalanche came, it rushed down three thousand feet, smashed on the ground, and rushed towards us like crazy with more snow. I also ran like a wild dog, always rushing to the front. In the face of such a natural disaster, unless people above the eighth level can cut the ice and snow with a sword, everyone can only run for their lives. People at the seventh level can also try, but if they fail, they're doomed. Obviously, none of the people mixed in the crowd were willing to try. On the one hand, they were afraid of death, and on the other hand, they were afraid that we would just escape, so they could only bite the bullet and follow us.

For a moment, no matter they were the victims or the masters, everyone was in tacit agreement and ran away while cursing me.

There are sayings like "the son you gave birth to will have no anus", "if you are a man, go to hell", "don't run, I will chop you into pieces with a knife", etc. But the most common curse is "grass". It shows that no matter which world we are in, the way of cursing is the same.

After running through an open space, it was an exciting downhill road. There were relatively few people on this road, and the snow had not melted much. After a few runs, my body began to slide uncontrollably on the snow. The speed increased, and the speed increased. This was really a life-and-death speed without even the brakes.

Once I started sliding, no one could catch up with me. Everyone was diving like crazy. In such a steep and slippery place, I had no place to use my strength, so the difference in realm had little impact. Except for two guys who changed sliding friction into rolling friction and rolled down beside me with snow all over their bodies, no one could catch up with me.

Once the speed reaches a certain level, it is no different from skydiving.

Or the kind of skydiving without a parachute!

The wind was so strong that I couldn't open my eyes. All I could see was a vast expanse of white. Bai Huang and Wu Mi were floating up behind me, their feet not even touching the ground. They were being pulled by me. I had a lot of skating skills, so I adjusted my body shape with a little bit of vision, trying to avoid the various obstacles in front of me. I was having a lot of fun skating left and right. Bai Huang shouted from behind:

"Slow down, slow down, Lid, this is my first time... I feel like I'm about to fly!!"

"Then I'll take you flying!"

I shouted and nimbly dodged a pine tree covered with snow. A master who was trying to get close to me was a little slow to react and crashed into the tree trunk. There was a bang, and it hurt. I guess he was embedded in it. Wumi had given up struggling and muttered in a very Buddhist way:

"Life and death, just take it easy."

It was like an old monk who had been eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures in the mountains for decades.

Happy times are always short-lived, and soon we are almost at the bottom. To be more precise, we have reached a place similar to a springboard. The bottom of the slope is not the foot of the mountain, but a cliff. And now, we are about to reach the place where the slope is cut off, and we will jump into the sky where there is nothing.

Bai Huang obviously noticed this and cried loudly:

“Li De, even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go!! In our Yunhai generation after generation, no one has ever died in such a shameful way!!”

I smiled and said:

"You won't die! Don't you want to experience the feeling of bungee jumping? I'll let you feel it in advance."

I looked back and saw that Alayya and Heji were fine. Heji was even fighting with the guy with two swords while skiing. The two of them were sliding at about the same speed and were basically relatively still, so the hand-to-hand combat was reasonable.

Jump down and soar into the air.

While floating in the air, I suddenly had a bold idea. If I start to swing Bai Huang and Wu Mi around at super fast speed, can I become a human helicopter?

But I finally gave up trying because I found that the place was not very high and there was thick snow below, so there would be no harm if I fell down.

However, when I was about to land, I found a group of guards in white below. They were dressed in white robes, almost the same color as the snow. When I landed, I saw the little man with red lips and white teeth in the front shouting to the people behind:

"Keep looking! The master must be nearby!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up and saw me pulling Wu Mi and Bai Huang down from the sky. The little guy looked like he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, with big eyes and a mouth that could fit a big egg. But before he could react, both he and I saw black.

bang-

When two heads collide, there is such a crisp sound.

It's like the sound of bells ringing in temples during the New Year.

This is... justice from heaven!

23.The dust has settled

I opened my eyes, reached out and touched my forehead, and there was a handful of sticky blood.

My first reaction was that it was amazing that I was bleeding but it didn't hurt. But after I touched it carefully, I found that it wasn't my blood. My head was fine. It was the forehead of the little guy I hit that had blood on it, and it stained my head. But in line with the principle of the wicked complaining first, I pretended to bandage the non-existent wound.

The little guy got up from the ground, but he didn't ask me for the responsibility of throwing people from a high altitude. Instead, he took two steps at a time and helped Wumi up who was stuck in the snow. Wumi was not injured, but was stuck in the soft snow. After being helped up by the little guy, he touched his head and said with a smile:

"My brain is still there... I am still alive, I am still alive."

The little man said in a crying voice:

"Sir, you really don't care about life and death, and you can do anything. I finally led our people here, but I couldn't find you anywhere. It wasn't until the guards noticed that someone had taken action that they groped in this direction. Fortunately, you are fine. If you had been in any danger, the White Guards would have eaten me up. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid that the three months' salary that you owe me will never be paid..."

Wumi patted his head and said with a smile:

"Alright, little deer, I'm fine."

Several men in white uniforms behind him saluted Wu Mi and called out:

"grown ups."

Bai Huang's strength was not good enough, so he didn't think there was any mystery hidden in this ordinary scene, but I could see it. Among the guards present, two were at the seventh level of swordsmanship, two were at the seventh level of swordsmanship, and three were at the seventh level of spearmanship. In addition, there were two people at the eighth level of swordsmanship, a total of seven people at the seventh level and two people at the eighth level. This luxurious configuration could basically wipe out Yuxi City four or five times, and it would be easy to beat the assassins who were plotting against Wumi.

To be honest, such a dream lineup is really cool and arrogant, and they can walk sideways in many places.

At this time, not only Wu Mi, Bai Huang and I fell down, but also a large group of people following us fell into the snow. Some assassins wanted to come over and attack Wu Mi, but a few assassins had already noticed the situation and were ready to run away. Unfortunately, each of the nine guards on Wu Mi's side was a good hand. I don't know who shouted "take it down", and then everyone quickly dispersed to arrest the wanted criminal. Most of the people present were ordinary civilians. The dozen or so masters who tried to assassinate Wu Mi really stood out at this time, and there was no place to hide.

The old man with dual swords who had fought with Heji before, seeing that the situation was not good, dived into the crowd and tried to escape. He had just run to an open area, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a sword fell from the sky and pierced his head diagonally, nailing him to the ground.

A guard who was at the eighth level of swordsmanship calmly raised his hand, and the blood-stained sword flew back into his hand intelligently.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Wumi said to Xiaolu:

"These are the people who saved me just now. This one is Yunhai Baihuang, and this one is Yuxicheng Lide."

Although the little deer looked mischievous, he bowed politely to Bai Huang and me and said:

"Thank you both for saving my master."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and said with a smile:

"I've heard that Yunhai Baihuang is kindhearted and punishes evildoers. Everyone in the world gives you a thumbs up when they talk about you. Yuxicheng Lide is even more so, well, romantic, young and rich. He was also the most outstanding young man in Lingyun City at that time."

Wait a minute, why is the style different here?

You paused a little bit, didn't you? You don't know what to praise?

Although he complained in his heart, he said calmly on the surface:

"That's too much praise. It's not worth it."

At this time, a guard came up carefully and said to Wu Mi:

"Sir, all those people we just captured committed suicide."

Wumi glanced at him and asked:

"all?"

The guard replied:

"Yes. They all had poison hidden in their mouths. When they realized they couldn't escape, they immediately bit through the poison sac fixed on their back tooth sockets and committed suicide. Except for the one I killed, all the others committed suicide."

Wu Mi smiled and said indifferently:

"It's as expected. The more they do this, the more it shows that they are still afraid of me, afraid that I will have something to hold against them. I didn't expect to tear open a hole in the darkness of the capital with a few assassins. They are just small characters under the hood. Most of them have been threatened with their families and have no choice but to work for others."

As he said this, he walked to the front of the crowd, casually pulled out a sword from the waist of a dead master, held it in his hand, and said to the bewildered victims who had just gotten up from the ground:

"This sword is worth about eighty gold coins."

The victims didn't understand what Wu Mi wanted to say and just listened blankly.

Umi continued:

"Just now, someone deliberately incited you to point your spearhead at me. This is a very vicious but effective trick, and you have been deceived. Now I tell you, these assassins are lackeys of some officials in the capital. They are afraid that I will find out something, so they plan to kill me here and silence me. Look at this sword. Will a person who uses such a sword be homeless in the snow like you? If you are interested, you can also come and see the calluses on his palms. Take a look, and then compare them with your own. The calluses on the palms of the people holding the sword and the people holding the hoe are different in size and distribution."

Umi said:

"I don't blame you. Some of what they said does make sense. I can't do anything now. There is no other way except to calm you down. But it's not that I won't do it, but I can't do it now. The water in the capital is too deep. A little move can affect the whole body. Those big shots know that they can't save themselves this time, so everyone is tense. We ordinary people have a saying that if you don't kill the snake, there will be endless troubles. I am just an ordinary official without a backer. I just came here to take a look and help you do something, but someone wants to mobilize a large army and spend so much effort to kill me. Now you understand, right? If you really go to the capital to cause trouble, they will definitely not show mercy!"

Wu Mi sighed and lowered her voice:

"It's been a hard year, and this year is even harder. We have to muddle through. Everyone, please make do with what you have. I will return to the capital today and will investigate this matter thoroughly and report it to your majesty. Your majesty will give everyone justice."

When Wu Mi finished speaking, none of the victims present were still standing; they all knelt in the snow.

Wu Mi put the sword back into the scabbard and told a guard:

"Gather all their weapons, sell them, and exchange them for food for disaster relief."

After he finished speaking, he walked towards me and Bai Huang and said:

"I'm sorry for dragging you into this. If you don't mind, I'll take you to the capital."

24. The center of the vortex

Because of this incident, we arrived at the capital a little late.

However, on this day, there were still quite a lot of high officials and nobles welcoming us at the gate of the capital. It was quite a grand occasion, but it was a pity that the protagonists were not Bai Huang and I. As soon as we got off the carriage, we were left aside. That large group of people "whoosh" all surrounded Wu Mi, and said politely with fake smiles:

"Oh, we've all been looking forward to seeing you. But you're the one we can't find on New Year's Day. His Majesty the King is worried, and we're also very worried..."

"I heard that you went to Tianyue Mountain? Your Excellency really cares about the people of the world, but this also depends on the time, right? The New Year is approaching, and everyone is busy. If you leave without saying a word, what a mess it will cause in the capital!"

"Hey, sir, I heard that Tianyue Mountain is quite chaotic. Have you encountered any danger?"

"Hurry, hurry, welcome His Excellency back to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Wumi smiled and raised her hand, pressed it down, and said:

"Everyone, don't worry. I'm already standing here, so of course nothing is wrong. We did encounter some minor troubles on our trip to Tianyue Mountain, but thanks to the timely arrival of the White Guards, everything has been resolved. These two are the city lords who are here to celebrate the New Year. This is Bai Huang and this is Li De. Because of the heavy snow, the dragon carriage they were riding flew in the wrong direction and ended up at Tianyue Mountain. They happened to meet me, so we came together. Anyone here who knows the way, can you take them to where they can stay first? Thank you."

Among the people present, a thin old man raised his hand, coughed twice, and said:

"I am responsible for picking up the city lords. His Majesty has specially opened the Xuanqing Palace this year for the city lords to stay. You two have arrived just in time, just in time for today's dinner..."

At this moment, Bai Huang stepped forward and shouted coldly:

"Don't worry! I want to ask the lords in the court, are you aware of the 300,000 disaster victims in Tianyue Mountain who are homeless?"

For a moment, the atmosphere became extremely awkward.

The thin old man was planning to lead the way, but he stopped when he heard this. Everyone looked at each other, and the people in the red robes and golden armor all had strange looks on their faces. Someone coughed a few times and said:

"Tianyue Mountain? Disaster victims? Where did this come from?"

Suddenly, there were echoes everywhere:

"Yes, yes. Little girl, it was His Majesty the King's idea to build a palace in Tianyue Mountain. Do you mean... that because of this, 300,000 people will be homeless?"

"Exaggeration! Slander! Since the founding of our Eternal Kingdom, our land is vast and rich in resources. Now your Majesty is wise and has saved resources, so that everyone in the country has enough food and clothing and lives a prosperous life. How could there be any disaster victims?"

"Little girl, could it be that you, Yunhai, have made too much money in the past few years, so everyone you see looks like a disaster victim? Haha."

"You haven't even grown all your hair yet, and you're already here to discuss state affairs. This is the capital, and even if your father came here, he wouldn't dare to speak like that!"

Bai Huang frowned and said coldly:

"Hmph. I think you gentlemen should stop using His Majesty the King as a shield. I have no intention of targeting His Majesty the King. What I mean is that you gentlemen can go to Tianyue Mountain and see how many people have eaten a lot, how many people are wearing only single clothes and sleeping in the snow, and how many people have unknowingly welcomed death in their sleep. I see that you all look well and are well dressed. You don't think the weather is cold recently. I hope you can sleep well at night and don't hear ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night."

After the words fell, Bai Huang sneered and said:

"As for my father, he taught me since I was a child. He told me to tell the truth, do the right thing, and not go against my conscience. He said that our Yunhai is not big, and we don't have much money, but it can still withstand my tossing. As long as I do the right thing, he will cover it for me. Today I put my words here. Even if others don't care, I, Bai Huang, will ask. Does your majesty want to watch his people die, or is there someone using your majesty's reputation to do these dirty things behind your back?"

The atmosphere cooled down, and Wu Mi tried to smooth things over by saying:
