I was favored by the evil god, and I became a white-bone bodhisattva.

Many local officials actually responded to the call of the man with double pupils and rebelled.

......

"whisper!"

"I know. I'll be gentler, just be gentler."

While queuing to enter the city, Guo Lurong was combing the feathers of the young goldfinch with a sad face.

Now that there is chaos and war outside, it is difficult for her to look for the Painted Skin Pavilion anymore. She can only settle down in the largest city nearby for a few days.

But there are too many people fleeing now, and Guo Lurong is not sure whether she can enter the city smoothly!

What you fear will come true. Just as she began to worry, she heard the soldiers in front of her who were maintaining order shouting, "To prevent spies from sneaking in, only children under ten years old are allowed to enter the city now—"

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion all around.

Some people shouted that they had been waiting in line for a whole day, some knelt down and begged on the spot, some sent their children into the city in tears, and some tried to break down the door.

Guo Lurong frowned and thought for a moment, then decisively asked the young golden-winged sparrow, "Jigu, fly up to the sky and see if there are any towns nearby that are willing to take in...refugees."

Guo Lurong never expected that one day she would become a refugee. She was heartbroken.

"Girl, do you know bird language?"

Someone noticed Guo Lurong's actions and couldn't help but come over and ask.

"kindness"

"If the lady's divine bird has found out some news, maybe it will let me know in the next call?"

“I won’t sneak away alone.”

Guo Lurong smiled bitterly and said, "But don't hold your hopes too high. There aren't many towns willing to take in refugees now."

Hearing this, deep despair appeared in the man's eyes.

His despair was so real and strong that Guo Lurong subconsciously avoided his eyes.

"Oh my God, oh my God!"

"What's the matter with the coming of the true king, what with the Taian River uprising? In the end, aren't we the ones who suffer?"

The man, who was already old, beat his chest and burst into tears.

.......

Guo Lurong felt very upset. She found an open space to sit down and stared at the gloomy sky in a daze.

Why did it turn out like this?

The Xu State was not a wealthy country in the past, but everyone could live in peace.

Could it be that it was really Wang Wudao who provoked the wrath of God?

But, but the king has ruled the country for more than ten years, and has never done anything that would anger God or people.

Suddenly, the sacred tripod fell down, suddenly, Lady Stone was resurrected and found the true king, suddenly, a flood occurred as a divine punishment, suddenly, the true king started an uprising by the Tai'an River, and suddenly, everyone's life became unbearable.

"Jigu! Jiggu!"

After an unknown amount of time, the chirping of a young goldfinch startled the girl, and she jumped up from the ground.

"Peicheng is still taking in refugees, are you sure?"

"whisper!"

Great, great.

"Everyone, listen to me—"

Guo Lurong shouted loudly: "Peicheng, let's go to Peicheng, the city lord there is willing to take us in!"

After shouting three times in a row, Guo Lurong asked Jigu to go to the sky to lead the way.

With a nervous mood, the girl and more than 200 refugees hurried to Peicheng.

When they finally arrived at their destination after so much trouble, everyone looked at the porridge stalls outside the city and the wide-open city gates, and cheered at the top of their lungs.

"Long live the city lord!"

Suddenly, such a choking sound came to her ears. After hearing it, Guo Lurong clasped her hands together and gave the same sincere blessing - may the city lord live a long life.

......

"In just one day, another two hundred and ninety-six refugees poured into our city."

"Master, you can only hold on for two more days at most! After two days, I must close the city gates."

The Lord of Pei City kept complaining to a thumb-sized man. He was not pretending, but he really could not bear the pressure any more!

"I also understand the city lord's difficulties. Well, two days is enough."

Qianmian took a sip of tea from the mini teacup and agreed casually.

To be honest, he didn't care about the lives of the refugees outside.

If he had not met a friend a few days ago whose cultivation was so high that it made him tremble with fear, he would not have come here to put pressure on the city lord.

After drinking the tea and saying a few polite words to the city lord with a smile, Qianmian returned to the Xu State headquarters of the Painted Skin Pavilion.

"Refugees are pouring into the city, and the city lord can no longer bear the pressure."

"I tried my best and finally got him to give me one more day."

As he spoke, Qianmian showed a compassionate look: "Tomorrow I will shamelessly try again. If it doesn't work, I will kneel down and beg him. Alas, saving one more person is saving one more person."

"..."

Wuxiang's eyelids twitched wildly when he heard this, and he thought to himself, "Master, are you pretending too much?"

He couldn't help but glance at Tangtang's face. Fortunately, the little girl looked very touched.

"Thank you Dough, you're so kind--"

Haha, children are easy to please.

"Yeah! I'm fine. I'm the best person in the world."

Sniff, Tangtang sniffed and couldn't help but rub the round dough in her hands.

what!

I'm a good person, why are you rubbing me?

Qianmian was terrified and started shouting loudly.

"This, Tangtang is so touched, I can't help it."

"Thank you!"

Rub rub rub.

Chapter 365 No acquaintance without fighting

With the influx of a large number of refugees, the public security in Peicheng deteriorated significantly.

The local residents could not help but complain, and officials at all levels urged the city lord to close the city gates immediately.

"This city is my fiefdom, Zheng Tianping. I can do whatever I want with it! Even if the sky falls, I will not close the city gates today!"

Zheng Tianping was extremely annoyed. The common people don’t understand, and you officials don’t understand either?

Now is a time of chaos. If Pei City does not have the protection of a powerful person in this chaotic time, will it be able to survive in the future?

There is only one day left, just grit your teeth and you can get through it.

Don't talk nonsense like the deterioration of public security. If you can use this as a price to gain a favor from the Thousand Faces Pavilion Master, then that would be a great bargain.

The long-term stability of Peicheng in the future depends on him!

Zheng Tianping was under tremendous pressure, and even had a few hairs turned white, but he finally made it to the time for his appointment with Qianmian.

boom--

Seeing the heavy city gate close with his own eyes, the city lord's heart finally settled down.

'Phew, I can sleep well tonight.'

Just as I was thinking this, someone suddenly ran over here in panic.

As he ran, he shouted: "Oh no, Lord City Lord, there are refugees..."

"Shut up!" Zheng Tianping shouted, scaring the man so much that his face turned pale.

"You are deliberately trying to make this city lord suffer, right?"

Seeing the man shaking his head frantically, Zheng Tianping slowed down his tone and said, "What's the matter? Stop making such a fuss. Speak slowly and softly."

"Master Liang's eldest daughter was killed by refugees."

Ok?

Zheng Tianping's brows twisted into a "川" shape, and he asked with difficulty: "How many thugs are involved?"

"I don't know yet."

"Where is Lord Liang? Go find him quickly and tell him that I, the city lord, will give him justice and ask him not to be impulsive." Zheng Tianping said with a sigh.

"Master Liang is busy looking for a doctor. I will go right away."

Looking for a doctor?

Just wait!

......

After a long time, it turned out that Lord Liang's daughter was not dead.

She wasn't even violated, 'just' had her face peeled off alive, and is now in a coma.

"Since no one in the Liang Mansion has seen the true face of the criminal, how can you insist that it was the refugees who did it?"

Although he scolded her, Zheng Tianping actually agreed with this person's guess.

Such a horrific thing had never happened in Peicheng before. Now, as soon as the refugees ran in, the faces of young girls were immediately peeled off.

If it wasn't some perverted person among the refugees who did it, then who else could it be?

It’s just that this matter should not be made a big deal, so Zheng Tianping made such a statement.

"Catch the criminal quickly, but don't make a big fuss, understand?"

The city lord looked around and nodded with satisfaction after receiving firm answers from everyone.

However......

Just one day later, three more similar cases occurred in the city.

The true identity is still unknown, and the girl's face is still peeled off. Now the whole Pei City is in panic.

The skinning incident even alarmed the Painted Skin Pavilion. After Wuxiang went out to investigate, he hurriedly reported the situation to Qianmian.

"The victims all fell unconscious after a moment of severe pain. I guess something suddenly appeared behind them and tore off their masks."

Qianmian hesitated for a moment, then looked at Wuxiang and said, "Now Peicheng is also the territory of our Painted Skin Pavilion. If any evil creature sneaks into the city and causes chaos, we will not let it off!"

"Disciple understands"

"Yes, no mercy!"

The little girl put down the chubby Painted Skin Pavilion Master and said she wanted to help too.

......

Late at night, a dignified young girl was strolling around the street holding a folding fan.

At a time when the public security situation in Peicheng is precarious, this is absolutely an act of seeking death.

Of course, in the eyes of those who are concerned, this girl with a folding fan appears dangerous and suspicious.

'In the middle of the night, there is actually a woman like this wandering on the street.'

"Especially recently, there have been a lot of skinning incidents happening one after another..."

The more Guo Lurong thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She nodded gently at the young golden-winged sparrow, and the latter immediately flew away with a chirp.
