Chapter 289 Old Man

The city lord's mansion in Liangcheng is quite grand.

The gate is towering, and the surface of the red sandalwood gate is carved with dragons, phoenixes, cloud patterns, etc.

Shi Feizhe could see clearly that the threshold of the City Lord's Mansion was high and wide.

It’s probably a bit difficult for ordinary people to get in.

Since it was a treat, Shi Feizhe naturally entered through the front door. Most people can only enter through the side door.

After entering the gate, you can see that the city lord's palace is full of white walls and cornices. Those closed doors are also engraved with auspicious animal patterns such as unicorns and phoenixes, making the entire door a bit cumbersome.

As for the pillars, it is even more difficult to say. There are paintings of plums, orchids, bamboos, chrysanthemums, flowers, birds, fish, insects and so on.

Coupled with the winding corridors, Shi Feizhe felt that the style here was different from that of the Central Plains, but it was a little bit the same.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jinglu did not take Shi Feizhe to the living room, but to a garden in the backyard.

The garden is full of exotic flowers and plants, arranged in an orderly manner. In the middle of the most important garden, there is a living pool with several acres of land.

There was an old man lying on a stone chair next to the pool, half asleep and fishing.

"Why are you alone?" Gu Wanggui said, "Have you invited anyone?"

Xu Jinglu looked at Shi Feizhe, there was obviously someone beside me!

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, so he whispered to Gu Wanggui: "Boss Gu, the people from Yangzhou came with me."

After saying that, he subconsciously stayed away from Shi Feizhe.

Horrible, terrible!

This is a master that even Boss Gu didn't notice!

"Huh?" Gu Wanggui was startled. He turned over and saw Shi Feizhe beside Xu Jinglu looking at him with a smile.

Such a big person walked several feet away from him without him noticing.

"I don't know your surname? I don't know Mount Tai. It's really rude that I can't greet you from a distance!" Gu Wanggui said immediately without pretending to be a cool fisherman.

What the hell, Xu Jinglu asked you to invite a passerby from Yangzhou, why would you invite a monster?

He was right in front of me, I could barely see him.

Are there people like this in the world?

Gu Wanggui looked at Shi Feizhe, looking ordinary!

Shi Feizhe was also looking at Gu Wanggui.

Gu Wanggui was not tall, only reaching Shi Feizhe's shoulders. He was dressed in casual clothes. He looked like an ordinary thin old man, but his face was rosy and he had a childlike appearance.

"I am Shi Feizhe!" Shi Feizhe said.

"Shi..." Gu Wanggui was startled and almost said the words "Shi Lao Mo"! But he stopped talking and said: "Stone Overlord!"

Xu Jinglu, who was next to him, felt his heart skip a beat.

How could it be him?

There is only one Shi Feizhe in the world, and he is the only one such a big devil!

To Gu Wanggui and Xu Jinglu, Shi Feizhe is the big devil, the one who does all kinds of evil.

They were living their small life in Miancheng, but suddenly the big devil sent his men to attack Jingzhou. They attacked Jingzhou, and the city lord was beheaded in public trial.

It was a crime they couldn't understand.

What kind of extortion, buying low and selling high, loan sharking, bullying men and dominating women, etc. are simply inexplicable!

Can such a reason convict a real warrior?

Stand up for the untouchables and kill the real warriors.

There has been no such truth in Jianghu since ancient times!

What can a pariah do? Real warriors are very strong!

Talk to such a person? Gu Wanggui felt cold sweat break out on his back, but he forced himself to calm down.

Anyway, he doesn't have a few years to live, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

After breaking the jar, he calmed down.

I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of a ball!

"Overlord? What kind of strange name is overlord?" Shi Feizhe shook his head and said, "Just call me Shi Feizhe."

Gu Wanggui regained his composure and said, "I read what the ancient books say. In ancient times, those who fought for hegemony in the world, if they controlled two states, were qualified to fight for the world, they could be called overlords!"

"We don't do this in Yangzhou, you can call me Shi Feizhe." Shi Feizhe still refused.

Overlord, Overlord, doesn’t sound like a good guy.

"Then..." Gu Wanggui thought for a moment and said, "Just call me your Excellency! Your Excellency controls the land of the three continents, and you will be able to unify the nine states in the future. Being able to come to the humble house really makes the humble house shine!"

"You're wrong. It's not the three states. If you add Liangzhou, it's six states!" Shi Feizhe said: "More than half of the nine states have already fallen into our Jianghu Reform Committee!"

Liangzhou! Six states!

Gu Wanggui was shocked when he heard Shi Feizhe say it openly.

He was shocked that the world was unified again. I was also shocked that Yangzhou was going to attack Liangzhou.

Using the current Liangzhou to fight against Yangzhou, which controls the five states, is tantamount to hitting an egg against a stone.

"Hey~" Gu Wanggui laughed self-deprecatingly, lowered his posture and said, "Our Liangcheng is willing to open its doors to welcome Master Wang. I only hope that you can spare the lives of our family."

"It's just a family? He doesn't count?" Shi Feizhe pointed at Xu Jinglu, who was standing silently beside him.

Xu Jinglu lowered his head, expressionless, and said nothing.

When Gu Wanggui was talking to Shi Feizhe, there was no need to interrupt at all.

"It would be great if you could spare him and my other men. I'm afraid you can't spare them!" Gu Wanggui said with a sigh.

It’s not that I didn’t plead for mercy, but I knew that Shi Feizhe probably wouldn’t agree if I did plead for mercy.

He kicked the ball past Shi Feizhe.

"You don't actually treat them as human beings, do you?" Shi Feizhe looked at Xu Jinglu and said.

"It's not that I don't treat them as human beings, but the whole world is like this. I am also one of those people who follow the crowd and learn from others in the world, and I am also one of those people who go with the flow in the world!" Gu Wanggui threw the blame again.

The whole world is like this, and he is not the only one who is like this.

"So, the world is gone." Shi Feizhe said with a chuckle.

Gu Wanggui's eyelids jumped, and Shi Feizhe's naked words made him uncomfortable. But he is an old man in the world, and he continued: "Sir, I like to follow the crowd the most."

"Now Yangzhou is the mainstream of Jiuzhou, and I am willing to learn and make progress."

"I can also be a hero!"

What he meant was that it was all the fault of the world. If I met Yangzhou, wouldn't I become a hero?

"Since you want to be a hero, why don't you distribute all the land under the name of the City Lord's Mansion to ordinary people in Liangcheng, dismiss all the servants in your mansion, and burn all the IOUs owed to your mansion." Shi Feizhe looked at him and said with a smile.

"This..." Gu Wanggui looked at the smiling Shi Feizhe and said with a stiff face: "Those are the savings of several generations of us. Those servants have no means of livelihood after leaving the City Lord's Mansion."

"It's better to stay in the mansion and still have a meal. Those IOUs..."

"It's only natural to pay back debts!"

Shi Feizhe laughed and said: "Haha~ So, the servants in your mansion should thank you!"

Haha
