The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

"I think so too."

Sha Guanghan added: "You should deal with him more, don't rush to use the troops, let me train the troops here first."

Wan Lianxing laughed again, "Lao Sha, now you can be considered as half of my confidant."

Sha Guanghan said: "Although I am a rough man, I have a delicate mind. Besides, we are both wanderers in this world. I, Sha, also want to get out of this Broken Road Forest as soon as possible to avenge myself."

Seven days later, Wan Lianxing returned to Fengying City with the fifty people he brought with him.

The Fengying City today is no longer the Fengying City of a month ago. Although there are many people on the streets, they are all walking in a hurry. Some people even jog a little and look back as if something is chasing them.

The most conspicuous were the teams of officers and soldiers who were walking the streets looking for people.

When have we ever seen such a scene in Fengying? It would be strange if the people were not panicked.

Suiying, who was riding a horse, jumped off the horse, walked across the road, and helped up an old lady who was pushed down by the soldiers. "Auntie, are you okay?"

"Thank you, young man. I am fine." The old lady shook her head. "It's a pity for all these things of mine."

The old lady fell quite hard just now and her wrist bone was broken and bleeding, but fortunately the blood was not much. The old lady did not take her injury seriously. She was busy bending down to pick up something on the ground.

Because she was getting in the way of the officers and soldiers when she was walking, she was pushed by the officers and soldiers and fell to the ground. The basket on her arm also fell to the ground, and the things inside were scattered all over the floor.

There was a package of Poria cocos cakes. Now the oil paper wrapping the cakes was torn, and the cakes were scattered everywhere. Some pieces were even crushed. Two red candles were also broken, but the wicks were still firmly connected to the two broken candles, and neither candle was separated. There was also a bundle of incense on the ground. Although it did not fall apart, it was also damaged.

The old lady felt sorry for the things she had, and she sighed as she picked them up. Suiying had no choice but to help her put them into the basket, "Auntie, there are so many people on the street, you shouldn't go out at your age."

"I have to come out. I want to go to the City God Temple to worship the City God."

Hearing this, Wan Lianxing quietly put down the corner of the curtain he had lifted. They were worshipping him like a god. He sighed silently, thinking it must be a misunderstanding.

Suiying said, "Auntie, do you have any problem to ask the City God for help? The City God doesn't ask for any spiritual help."

The old lady said: "I am asking for things that are within the City God's responsibility."

The deity worshipped in the City God Temple was Wan Lianxing. Suiying's eyes rolled, and he thought, could it be that their Lord didn't manage Fengying well? It shouldn't be like that. This was the poorest place of exile. Now the barren hills have been turned into fields, and all kinds of factories have sprung up. The people are living in peace, well fed and clothed, and water conservancy is flourishing. There is no day of suspension of work. The court didn't spend a penny or a little effort. All of this was done by their Lord on his own. It can be said that there is nothing wrong with it. What kind of work is this lady referring to?

"Madam, has the City God been neglecting government affairs recently?"

"What government affairs?" The old lady obviously didn't understand Suiying's words.

"I want to know what you want from the City God?"

"Oh, isn't he the God of Water? He should bless our city with good weather and good harvests, and the people are safe. Look at it now. The city is in chaos because of Zou Sanduo's people. They search for people inside and outside the city every day. My house has been searched three times inside and out by them. They said they would dig three feet underground to find the rebel Sha Guanghan. I have lived to such an old age, and I have never heard that Sha Guanghan is a bad guy. He has been guarding Songchun Pass for so many years. How come Sha Guanghan has become a bad guy when a war breaks out?"

Suiying didn't understand what the old lady wanted to say: "Auntie, what you said are all the national affairs of Dalang State. Listen to me and go home. The streets are too chaotic."

"Hmph, I don't care whether it's family or state affairs. If the Southern Yan Kingdom attacks, where is my home? I will go to the City God Temple to complain to the City God and ask him to order the new county magistrate Zou Sanduo to go to the front to fight as soon as possible. The Southern Yan Kingdom is about to attack my doorstep, why are we still arresting Sha Guanghan? Sha Guanghan has defended Fengying for eight years and has never suffered a defeat. How come he can't hold it when Zou Sanduo comes? If he can't hold it, he still sends so many people to search the streets and alleys for people, without doing anything practical."

Suiying said, "Madam, this wanted order was issued by the imperial court. Zou Sanduo was ordered to arrest someone. If he fails to catch the person, he will not be able to redeem himself."

"The imperial court, that is, the emperor in Bianjing, issued a wanted order?"

Suiying nodded: "It's him. Who else has such power except him? The emperor's power is supreme."

"Bah! I think the court is going to disband too. In our Fengying County, the one with the most power is the Marquis. I must go to the City God Temple today to file a complaint and ask the Marquis to drive Zou Sanduo's people out of Fengying City and send them to fight at Songchun Pass instead of running around the streets in a crowd and doing nothing."

The old lady's voice was not low. Suiying looked around and said, "Auntie, the Marquis is the governor here, and Zou Sanduo is the county magistrate here. There is no difference between their official positions. Besides, Zou Sanduo has military power. Listen to me. The Marquis can't control Zou Sanduo. Go home and don't go to the City God Temple. If he could, the Marquis would have done it long ago."

The old lady said, "I didn't care because the Marquis went out hunting, and I had to go to the City God Temple to give him a message."

Suiying opened his mouth in surprise. Was it their Lord who was so powerful, or was it this old lady who was so capable that he could receive a letter from the old lady just by praying to the Lord at the City God Temple? Even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe it, so how could someone this old believe it?

"Auntie, the Marquis is a living person. He won't know what you say to his statue. Don't be too superstitious about these things."

But the old lady pointed to the sky and said, "Young man, don't talk nonsense. There is a god above your head." Then the old lady was seen carrying the basket and left.

Suiying walked back to their carriage, opened the curtain of the sedan a little, and said to Wan Lianxing: "My Lord, you heard it all, right? This old lady sent you a message, you received it, right?"

Wan Lianxing's usual smile faded from his face, and he became a little more serious. "Go back home first. I can't take care of this matter."

Suiying lowered the curtain and they continued on their way. Before the carriage had even left a street, it was surrounded by two teams of soldiers, "Stop."

Suiying shouted, "My Lord is here, who dares to block my way?"

The other party showed his token, and it turned out to be Zou Sanduo's man. "I have been ordered to search for him. Please help me, Lord."

When Suiying saw that they were Zou Sanduo's men, he had no fear at all. With a whoosh, he drew out his knife and said, "No matter whose orders you are following, get out of my way, or I will not be polite."
