Single Man Guarding a Lonely City, Invincible in the World

Judgment official residence.

Sandalwood curled up, and half of Zhe Lansu's face flickered under the flickering candlelight, while the other half was hidden in the thick ink-like darkness.

"How strong is Fushang?" He asked this sentence thirteen times.

"Your honor, Master Fu is also known as Fu Jiu. Among the younger generation of the empire, his martial arts attainments can be ranked ninth, and his peach-blossom sword is famous in the holy city."

The black-robed man with the sword on his back respectfully reported.

"But Gu Chang'an alone fights three thousand elites..." Zhe Lansu was restless.

"Your Majesty." Hei Pao paused, and simply said:

"Jianghu swordsmen are not good at the battlefield, and Young Master Fu will definitely not be as absurd and bizarre as Gu Changan, but each has his own strengths. In the field of duels, the peach blossom sword seals his throat with one sword."

"It makes sense." Zhe Lansu calmed down with a sip of tea, but his expression was still anxious.

"I think back then, when Young Master Fu entered Xishu with a single sword, everyone was watching him. He killed those in the same realm with just three moves. Two years ago, at Yumenguan, Beiliang Chen Haoran drank the peach petals and returned to the Mingquan..."

The black robe's voice stopped abruptly.

There was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps, and the attendant presented a flying pigeon with a blood-stained note tied to its legs.

"The good news is here." Hei Pao took the initiative to take the unrolled note, his expression instantly became extremely horrified, and his fingertips were shaking slightly.

【Elder Brother Dies】

The five words written in fresh blood were so dazzling that they could almost burn the pupils.

Staring at his ashen face, Zhe Lansu made a low, muffled sound in his throat:

"Fuck!"

"Fu... Young Master Fu is dead." The black robe trembled, struggling to move his lips.

"Yeah." Zhelansu nodded numbly.

"How could this be?" Hei Robe couldn't believe it.

"you ask me?"

Zhelansu raised his fist and slammed it on his forehead, forgetting the reason and shouting angrily:

"The sword you said seals the throat, I will seal your mother!"

He walked back and forth in the room, his face turned from white to blue, full of anger and nowhere to shoot, his bulging cheeks trembled slightly.

"waste!"

"It's all trash!!"

Zhe Lansu's eyes pierced the black robe, like two poisonous swords.

"Please calm down your anger." The black robe was bleeding profusely, and knelt down and kowtowed.

"Let all the guys in Quetai get in here!" Zhe Lansu stared at the guard coldly.

A few minutes later, a group of people filed in, both civil and military, and all the confidants of the adjudicator were present.

They looked at Zun Shang's extremely embarrassed face and knew that the mission had failed again.

Zhelansu burst into anger and roared:

"Blow it up into a myth of invincibility, don't take it if you don't have the ability, go to death if you're stupid!"

The crowd bowed their heads and dared not speak.

How could Fushang not be strong? The Peach Blossom Sword was killed. It was precisely because of his impressive record that Fushang became famous in the empire.

But his opponent is too defiant!

"Your Highness, I am willing to lead seven thousand troops and destroy the lonely city in one fell swoop."

A burly general took a step forward and said decisively.

Enough of the humiliation, only heavy military shame, delaying it will only make Gu Changan arrogant!

"Military order, come to see you if you fail?" Zhelansu looked gloomy.

"No!" The general said loudly, with a decisive attitude.

Gu Changan's limit is 4,000 soldiers. This is the conclusion drawn from the last siege battle, and 7,000 soldiers and horses are more than enough.

"My mother's Gu Changan is getting stronger and stronger, he is a bloodthirsty devil, is seven thousand enough?"

"Seven thousand ah, they are all family soldiers carefully cultivated by this deity, and they are all the wealth of my Zhelan family!"

Zhelansu's face was cloudy and uncertain, he was a dictator in a territory of seven thousand miles, and he was actually afraid of an isolated city.

Seeing Zun Shang look forward and backward, everyone can only be silent.

The hesitation of the honor is not unreasonable, Gu Changan is getting stronger and stronger, who knows how far he has evolved this time?

Seven thousand children is not a cold number,

It's a person with flesh and blood, do you really want to gamble?

Suddenly, Zhe Lansu calmed down and said something incredible.

"Believe in the wisdom of future generations."

The generals present were confused, but the staff's eyes flickered, and it was easy to figure out the meaning of the honor.

"I've decided, and leave the mess to the next sanctioning officer." Zhe Lansu made a direct statement.

The atmosphere in the hall is dead silent!

It was so quiet that there was no sound at all.

"Your Highness, you..."

Zhe Lansu waved his hand and said solemnly:

"I have made up my mind. Tonight, I will submit a letter of apology to the Empire Center, saying that the county master was killed by me, and I will remove the adjudicator's position on this charge."

"Think twice, your honor!" The staff was sweating profusely.

The princess of the royal family is worthless, even if the center suspects that she died in the hands of Zun Shang, he will not use it.

But once he takes the initiative to submit a document to the court, it will involve the face of the Tuoba royal family, and the goddess will be punished if he does not want to be punished.

"Think about your mother!" Zhe Lansu said angrily with his eyes wide open:

"Who left this mess in Gucheng? The old man of Huyanshou! Now let me bear this embarrassing black cauldron!"

"I'd rather lose the power of Mu Shou's side, than let my son-in-law die innocently and tragically. Gu Changan is not afraid of wearing shoes with bare feet. He really dares to kill everything."

"I Zhe Lansu's prestige is built on the iron-blooded soldiers, I can't afford to lose it."

At this moment, the dictator who was once vigorous and high-spirited seemed a little depressed at this moment.

Everyone looked at each other and sighed one after another.

Can you blame the previous sanctions officer Hu Yanshou?

After Huyanshou left office, the lonely city was dying, and there were only a few hundred old soldiers left, which could be easily conquered.

But God knows that there is a monster like Gu Changan in it, and one person is enough to withstand thousands of troops.

Unlucky for this honor...

The staff hesitated to speak, and said politely:

"Your Majesty, take a step back, it will be difficult to think about it again."

Sanction officials are equivalent to the third-rank frontier officials in the Central Plains, and have absolute autonomy, a powerful warlord with a radius of 7,000 miles.

And the next level is the judge, that is, the position Huyanshou is currently in, which is equivalent to the second-grade Shangshu of the Central Plains.

To take the initiative to resign from Zun Shang is to waste fifteen years of his official career. It is even more difficult for you to step back in the power game and to climb to the position of sanctions officer or even higher.

"There's no way, Gu Changan of the dog day." Zhe Lansu slumped on the chair, and there was a bit of grievance in his angry tone.

Power is life, and now he has to give up half his life, the pain is indescribable.

"Your Highness, have you decided?" the confidant asked solemnly.

Sometimes it's time to take a step back.

Not being able to eradicate the seven thousand miles of cancer, every time the army came back, it was bad news, and it was too tiring to have to find ways to cover the cancer.

Respect is tired, they are even more tired.

"Slip away, I don't care about the flood after I leave." Zhe Lansu adjusted his mood and continued:

"Take everything that can be taken away. When the edict from the Holy City comes, we will leave after handing over."

"Gu Changan of the dog days, you have successfully survived me."

It is a great shame to run away in despair! !

The staff's expression changed slightly, and he said solemnly:

"Your Highness, what if the incumbent sanctions officer lifts the lid and reveals everything to the center?"

The atmosphere was suddenly depressed, and everyone panicked.

This is what they are most afraid of. Once the news of the lonely city reaches the center, it will be similar to Nine Heavens Thunder.

Zhe Lansu was not in a hurry, and his tone was calm:

"Haha, after entering the swamp, do you still want the soles of your shoes not to get muddy?"

"The severity of this matter, whoever touches it, is responsible, no more than the size of the responsibility. If I lose my head, the new sanctions officer should not think about continuing his career."

"Besides, Huyanshou still wants to stay out of it? Gucheng is exposed, and his fate is the same as mine!"

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if the new sanctioning officer dared to offend the Venerable, he would not dare to offend Huyanshou, the center of power. If this vessel of interest is overturned, no one would be better off.

"But what if he also wants to run away?" a military general said in a stern voice.

Hearing the word "run", the atmosphere was instantly icy.

Almost exposing the scar in public, Zhelansu's face turned ashen.

Snapped!

The general slapped himself, and bowed his head shyly.

"I'm leaving, and he's leaving too. The two consecutive sanctions officials are not satisfied with their tenure, and if they don't send people to visit unannounced, then the temple and Gong Gong are all idiots!"

"He didn't have a chance to leave, so he had to die in the lonely city."

"The next sanctioning officer is the biggest unfortunate one!"

Speaking of which, Zhe Lansu's tone was much lighter.

Everyone nodded secretly, and had to admire Zun Shang's political acuity, stop the loss in time and leave the greatest pressure to the next sanctioning officer.

"Let's see how he deals with Gu Changan."

The aide said in a deep voice, with a tone of schadenfreude.
