Chapter 66 The Demon Exorcist is not exorcising demons (26)
Under the threat of Shisui's force, the soldiers had no choice but to obey.
They pulled up the big iron cage that contained Bu Yuchuan and returned to Huizhuang.
Bu Yuchuan was screaming like crazy inside.
"You all don't want to live anymore? Huh?! I'm going to kill you all when I get back. I'm going to chop you all into pieces! Not a single one will be spared!"
The soldiers have a hard time too.
Shisui used a spell to summon several scorpion spirits, controlling them to wave their large pincers and follow the soldiers' buttocks, making a snapping sound.
If they walked even a little slower, they would lose their lives.
A good man never suffers a loss in front of him.
The soldiers all had a tacit understanding. At this time, they had to survive under Shisui's command first.
Such soldiers who easily abandon their masters will be defeated in one blow even if they go to the battlefield one day.
This shows how poor Bu Yuchuan's ability to command troops is.
Shi Sui didn't understand where he got the confidence from, thinking that he could really conquer the twenty-nine cities in the Western Regions...
It was already half dark.
The sentries on the high walls of Huitou Village watched the troops returning to the city from afar.
However, due to the influence of light and wind, they could only barely make out the large iron cage.
As for who was walking in front and who was locked in the iron cage, the sentry really couldn't see clearly.
"Open the city gates! The general has returned in triumph!"
The sentry called on his brothers to work, opened the city gate, and encouraged the people to take to the streets to welcome them.
After all, Bu Yuchuan had threatened before that anyone who was brought back in an iron cage was either a fox demon or a demon hunter who used evil words to confuse the public!
It’s a great pleasure to join in the fun!
But once they were all lined up at the city gate and the iron cage approached, they discovered that the person trapped inside was actually the general himself!
The soldiers realized that something was wrong and wanted to quickly close the city gate and keep Shisui out first.
But Shi Sui raised her index and middle fingers between her eyebrows and chanted a series of spells, and the scorpion demons immediately rushed over to make trouble, forcibly blocking the two large city gates that were about to close.
The onlookers were so frightened that they stepped back one after another.
Swish——
After the crisp sound of sword drawing, Shi Sui drew her sword, inserted it into the gap of the railing, and placed it on Bu Yuchuan's neck.
"Get out of my way!" Shi Sui's voice was not loud, but it was full of dominance. "If you block me again, your General will be dead!"
Seeing this situation, no one dared to act rashly.
The group of soldiers who were forced to pull the cages back by Shihui returned to the base camp, abandoned their vehicles and fled, blending into the crowd to save their lives.
Shi Sui then commanded several scorpion spirits to continue pushing the iron cage forward on the main road.
Bu Yuchuan looked miserable with disheveled hair, a swollen mouth and nose, and a shoe print on his right cheek. All of this was seen by the residents of Huitou Village.
This makes him feel worse than death!
The explosive news of the general's capture spread quickly, and more and more people came out to watch the excitement, and the soldiers couldn't stop them.
The messenger could only report to the city lord as quickly as possible...
Just as Shi Sui arrived at the door of Bu's house with the iron cage, the city lord himself arrived anxiously in a sedan chair.
Seeing his most beloved son being ruined like this, he was furious and cursed at Shisui.
"You vicious woman! If you can't find the fox demon, run for your life! Why are you kidnapping my son?! Let him go now! Otherwise, I won't let you go!"
Tokiho said nothing and took out the monster contract from her clothes.
The city lord froze instantly.
"This, this, this...why is this treasure in your hands?!"
"You should ask your eldest son about this question, Lord City Lord. Ask him what good things he has done behind your back!"
Ever since the city lord took over the contract from his father, he had moved it to a very secret location, known only to him and his son Bu Yuchuan...
"This thing will be passed on to you sooner or later! Why did you take it away privately?!" The city lord was so sad that he beat his chest and stamped his feet, breathing in the air in big gulps.
Bu Yuchuan had no respect or filial piety towards his father. He had already lost face in front of the people, and he had given up and had no scruples about anything.
"The reason I've ended up like this is because you're an old fool! If you hadn't stopped me, I would have already dealt with the Nine Cloud Fox Demon and sent an army to conquer it!"
"You...you--" The city lord covered his heart with his hands, his face flushed red.
"Everyone in the Bu family knows you're incompetent and talentless. For decades, you've been oppressed by that old, resentful aunt. If you're such a coward, you should just pass the city lord position to me sooner! This is all your own fault!"
"No... unfilial son!!!! I'm so pissed off!!"
The city lord roared, his blood rushed to his head, his eyes were full of bloodshot, and he suddenly fainted.
Those who helped others on the scene helped others, and those who called for a doctor called a doctor.
There was a lot of shouting and chaos.
…
The city lord was so angry at Bu Yuchuan that he fainted and lay unconscious in bed.
Huitou Village fell into a state of chaos with no one to control it.
Although the land area of Huitou Village is not even as large as that of a small country, it is a small temple with great evil spirits.
The retainers were divided into two factions regarding who should temporarily take over the responsibilities of the city lord.
One group supports Princess Wenzhu. After all, she is the elder and is adept at management.
The other faction supports Bu Yuchuan. The reason is simple: he is the successor and the position of city lord is already in his pocket.
The two groups attacked each other and neither of them would submit.
Princess Wenzhu's faction said that Bu Yuchuan had stolen the monster's contract and should be punished accordingly, and was no longer suitable to succeed the city lord.
The Bu Yuchuan faction cited the ancestral rule that "women are not allowed to interfere in politics" and accused Princess Wenzhu of violating the rule for many years.
Not to mention Bu Yuchuan's brothers, who were all waiting for an opportunity to make a move, wanting to fight for the position of city lord which had already been settled.
The current situation is exactly what Shi Sui once mentioned to Jiuyun Fox Demon, the prophecy that if Bu Yuchuan is disturbed, it will trigger civil unrest in Huitou Village.
But even if the retainers quarreled, it had no effect on Bu Yuchuan's current situation - being locked in a cage and being watched over by Shi Sui personally.
She dragged Bu Yuchuan with the iron cage into the largest courtyard of the Bu residence, and placed a table full of delicious food and wine in front of the hungry him, and he feasted on it.
"Ah—good wine!"
Shisui took out all the fine wines collected by the city lord and enjoyed them.
She tore off a bone with minced meat on it and threw it into the cage, giving it to Bu Yuchuan who kept chattering and cursing her madly.
It is perfect for feeding dogs.
"Do you know why I haven't killed you yet?" Shi Sui smiled. "Your life must be left to the person who hates you the most, and he must kill it personally!"
