Gu Immortal, Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu

The long streets of Yan State were crowded with people.

The curses of the Gu Master, the screams of mortals, the pleas for mercy from those knocked down after the pressure was released, and even the shouts of the Gu beasts, all mixed together, and the noise dispersed the clouds in the sky.

The chaos originated from the news of an out-of-control beast tide that was frequently shared by the caravan three days ago.

At that time, everyone laughed at the rice merchants who were risking their lives to manipulate prices.

There is one more thing worth looking forward to after dinner, that is, how many unscrupulous businessmen will die because of this rumor.

But early this morning, except for the grain stores of the government, Jinyuan Pavilion, Wanbao Pavilion and other big forces, all other grain stores were closed, which completely woke up the people who came to watch the fun.

As a result, now people are crowding together to block the roads in order to purchase food earlier.

"There is no more food to sell today, please go back!"

The grain merchant from the Chamber of Commerce under Jinyuan Pavilion shouted in a sweat.

The crowd did not retreat, but instead squeezed closer.

The shopkeeper was stunned, and saw pairs of eyes that were either panicked, angry, or terrified.

"This store can't be saved."

The manager sighed inwardly, feeling some pity for the people who were kept in the dark, and was also worried about the future chaos.

Relatively speaking, any trouble caused by failing to control the crowd is not worth mentioning in the face of the impending chaos.

"Why open a store without food? Isn't this just cheating?"

"Rob!"

"Go in, don't let that old guy get away!"

The crowd spent a whole day trying to find an answer but still couldn't get one.

Now, people are unable to buy food and feel the future is bleak. Under the guidance and instigation of some people with ulterior motives, extremely serious looting has broken out.

The people from Jinyuan Pavilion did not dare to resist.

There are too many people. Even if the Gu Master lets go and kills them all, it will take a long time.

Apart from saving a shop, Jinyuan Pavilion did not gain any benefits at all, but would instead be infamous for the bloody murder.

Such incidents occurred in several government-owned shops but not in other shops, and the city was in great chaos for a while.

"Vice President, these unruly people are going too far. Are we just going to watch our store get smashed?"

Wanbao Tower is high up, and from the window one can overlook the scene of his shop being robbed.

The fifth-rank female Gu Master glanced at the 20-year-old Huoyun Valley disciple beside her, who was in the prime of her youth, and said calmly and coldly:

"The present is different from the past. Anyone who dares to kill someone will be given a reason for the Empress to suppress him."

"Besides, this matter is not that simple. The news from the northern border spread too quickly. As soon as our people delivered the news, most people in the city had already started talking about it as a joke."

"Do you think that the person who has faster intelligence than our Fire Cloud Valley is an unknown person? And why did he spread the news?"

Upon hearing this, the people from Wanbao Tower also fell silent.

Even if a grain store was robbed, it would not even be a tiny loss for the Huoyun Valley Chamber of Commerce.

But the number of people who deserved to be lost was not reduced at all.

After all, the sensible and smart businessman closed the door and locked it as soon as the news came, and removed most of the goods three days ago.

Only those who are extremely confident and determined to compete to see who has more courage and vision are still running grain shops.

As for why Jinyuan Pavilion is not ashamed, it is because it has been established for too long, and has even helped others many times in troubled times. Its reputation will only earn sympathy and gratitude.

As for Wanbaolou, they are simply not in their right mind. They think they are so powerful, but they did not expect that the people in the imperial city would not give them any face. They robbed food and smashed shops in one go. The word "troublesome people" is not wrong at all.

"The situation is chaotic, but the young master has not returned yet. I hope that the young master can appear in front of the empress in times of crisis and save the situation. Otherwise, Huoyun Valley will lose everything in this trip to the world."

The vice president looked towards the north, hoping to find a figure that stood out among the crowd.

Unfortunately, no matter how much I look forward to it, there is never any response.

royal palace.

Jun Jiufeng overlooked the imperial capital of Dayan from the top of Feisheng Pavilion. Even though it was cold up there and everything was shrouded in fog, he could still hear the hustle and bustle and chaos in the city.

"Your Majesty, the source of the news has been found. It is said that it was a deserter from the Northern Frontier Army. In order to gain the sympathy of the passing caravan, he deliberately fabricated false information and pretended to be a pitiful person to escape punishment."

Jun Jiufeng lowered her head slightly and glanced behind her, but saw no one except the palace guards.

"What about the deserters?"

The cold voice made the guard break out in sweat.

"Dead, dead. Died on the way."

"Is this what you call a thorough investigation? The man is dead, but the body is still there, and the military roster is still there. Keep investigating to find out which army the deserter belonged to and where he fled from."

Jun Jiufeng read ancient military books when he was young, and when he grew up he was in charge of state affairs and rarely got angry.

But from the guard's brief report, she guessed that the deserter was not a deserter, but most likely a messenger sent by the Northern Frontier Army.

Unfortunately, he was intercepted and killed on the way, and was accused of being a deserter and spreading rumors, which reached her ears.

It was a truly vicious move to make her mistake a loyal and virtuous person as a pawn of a cunning and treacherous criminal.

If she can't find out who is behind this and can't overturn the verdict on the deserter she has never met, she will surely be ridiculed as stupid by countless people.

The phoenix carriage was moved to the meeting hall.

"Your Majesty, all the teams that were sending Senluo Flowers were killed, even the team led by the fourth-level Gu Master was not spared. None of the Senluo Flowers in the previous batch were delivered on time. I would like to ask Your Majesty to send another 30,000 troops to escort this caravan, otherwise it will not be enough to deter the enemy."

"Your Majesty, the Ningyuan Army sent us intelligence that a wave of beasts is gathering outside the Great Wall. A fierce offensive and defensive battle will surely take place in the next few days. They demand that healing medicine and weapons be sent over as soon as possible, otherwise there is a possibility of the border being lost!"

All the officials in the court reported the news one after another, and everyone who heard it gasped.

Is the northern border so chaotic? Then the looting of food and all kinds of chaos in the city make sense.

"allow."

Jun Jiufeng appeared calm on the surface, but he was very anxious deep down.

She had already guessed that there was a traitor in the Northern Frontier Army.

But the other party acted so openly and aboveboard, the only thing missing was raising the banner of treason.

This clearly shows that he is not afraid of the encirclement and suppression by hundreds of thousands of troops from all over the Northern Frontier, nor is he afraid of any means used by Jun Jiufeng.

Many figures flashed through Jun Jiufeng's mind, and finally they settled on several famous generals of the Wu family.

Not long after, Jun Jiufeng entered the Feisheng Pavilion again.

When paying respects to the ancestors, Jun Jiufeng was less calm and graceful and more anxious.

"My dear disciple, we have all underestimated the power of the Northern Frontier."

The old eunuch sighed. The sudden change happened so quickly, which showed how smart the other party was.

"Master, contact Li Changsheng. He must know the truth."

Jun Jiufeng spoke slowly, glancing at Xiao Shunzi with her phoenix eyes, and her condescending attitude subsided a bit.
