Chapter 1372 The City Lord's Choice
Hearing the name of Yi Feng, the city general was stunned, and seemed to be moved, but in the next breath, his eyes became dim, and he didn't say a word.
That expression was barely detectable, and everyone didn't notice anything unusual at all. They continued to talk about the topic, and the discussion became louder and louder.
"Yes, if we can invite that person, our Yecheng may be able to turn danger into safety!" "
That's a way. I heard that Mr. Yi has a high level of cultivation. If he can help us, our chances of winning will definitely increase greatly!"
"There is no time to waste, let's send someone to invite Mr. Yi!"
"Lord City Lord, what do you think?"
The dispute soon subsided, and everyone turned their eyes to the main seat that had never spoken.
At the critical moment in Yecheng, they ignored everything. Even though they had never met Yi Feng, they still regarded him as a life-saving straw.
Even if the hope was slim, it rekindled the hope of the whole audience.
At this moment of expectation.
The city lord had not yet made a final statement, but the eldest lady spoke coldly and poured a basin of cold water on everyone!
"Everyone."
"Don't worry about Mr. Yi, he won't help at all."
He won't help?
Why is the eldest lady so sure?
The whole audience was stunned and looked suspicious.
Although a complex expression of doubt and loss appeared on their faces, hope was right in front of them, and most people were unwilling to give up.
After a short silence.
The voices of debate rang again, and the people who bowed one after another were even more anxious!
"That senior won't help, how can you say that?"
"Well, that kind of big shot may not be willing to help. It would be beneath his status to intervene in a small city like ours."
"No matter what, we have to give it a try!"
"That makes sense. That senior Wu Huang is our last hope. No matter what the cost, we have to do our best to ask for his help!"
...
The group of people became more and more anxious, with a determination to burn their boats in their eyes.
At this moment, it seemed that as long as they could ask Mr. Yi to help, they could ignore anything. It was more important to get this ray of hope than anything else!
Looking at the determined giants of Yecheng, Chen Yuxin fell into silence helplessly.
She knew Mr. Yi's strength better than anyone else. If she took action, it would not be difficult to turn the tide. However, they had already offended the senior one after another, and the last chance had long been lost.
If they could ask for help, why would they still have to get entangled here?
It was really self-inflicted.
The more Chen Yuxin thought about it, the more regretful she felt. Listening to the anxious voices arguing in the hall, she felt confused and didn't even have the courage to speak. It was not
until the city lord finally spoke that the chaotic scene was slightly stabilized.
"Everyone."
A deep voice sounded, and everyone paid attention.
Chen Cangyun, sitting upright in the big chair, still had a calm expression, as if he was no different from before. Everything was under control. His stable posture immediately calmed the whole audience.
The scene finally calmed down.
The big men in Ye City waited patiently for the city lord to come up with a good plan.
But when Chen Cangyun spoke again, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. 33 Novel Network
"Now our Yecheng is full of war, and there are casualties among the soldiers and civilians. The most urgent task is to stabilize the people's hearts. I also ask everyone to work together and show their talents. Defending the city is urgent, and everything in the city cannot be ignored. From today on, all major families must allocate personnel to assist in the dispatch and transportation of food and grass to ensure the daily expenses of the soldiers and civilians. People must also be sent to clean up and repair the collapsed houses and roads in the city."
"The war is about to break out. We must put the people of Yecheng first. No matter what happens, we must not panic. No matter who encounters an accident, we must not abandon the people and flee the city."
"If anything happens to me, Chen Cangyun, the next Lord of Yecheng will be Song Hailiang!"
When these words were spoken, everyone was surprised.
In such a critical situation, the Lord of the City did not mention the key decision to ask for help from Mr. Yi, but instead arranged all kinds of trivial matters in the city, and even announced the next Lord of the City at this moment.
Why did these words sound strange?
Even Song Hailiang, the head of the Song family, was suddenly appointed as the next Lord of the City. He couldn't react at once, and he didn't have time to think about it. He just looked confused.
When everyone was about to speak, Chen Cangyun had already stood up and left.
"Everyone."
"Today's meeting is over. I hope everyone will do their best to protect the stability of Yecheng."
Looking at the back of the city lord who stood up and left, the bigwigs of Yecheng had no chance to speak even if they were confused. They could only bow and leave, and left with suspicion.
The hall suddenly became extremely deserted.
Chen Yuxin was left sitting in a daze, frowning in confusion.
She always felt that her father's words just now were very strange. Compared with his previous domineering and strong style, the more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed. Even if she returned to her room and sat alone, it was difficult to solve the confusion in her heart.
Just when she stood up nervously and stood quietly by the window, the door opened gently.
The person who walked in was her father who suddenly made her feel strange.
Without the previous majesty, nor the noble array of people following him, only a single person walked in calmly, holding a mahogany tray in his hand.
Chen Yuxin was stunned.
The very peaceful man in front of her, was he still her majestic father, the city lord?
Without waiting for her to say anything.
Chen Cangyun smiled and walked into the house steadily, placed the tray steadily on the small round table, personally brought out the small bowl of soup on the plate, then sat down with a smile and raised his eyes to speak.
"Xin'er, please sit down."
That kind look surprised Chen Yuxin even more.
She took a look at the soup on the table and widened her beautiful eyes in disbelief.
"Father..."
"Why, why did you suddenly..."
Chen Cangyun smiled and nodded, with a bit of kindness in his eyes.
"Isn't this your favorite spiritual sturgeon soup?"
"I remember that you always liked to drink it when you were a child. Later, your father became the lord of Yecheng, and was entangled with worldly things all day long. He really didn't have the leisure to stew this clear soup. Now I think that your father has indeed neglected you over the years. Don't blame your father."
Hearing this.
Chen Yuxin only felt a pang of pain in her heart, and she couldn't describe the mixed feelings.
Looking at the clear soup on the table in front of her, all the feelings she had suppressed for many years came out in an instant, and her eyes glowed unconsciously. She sat down quietly and carefully picked up the spoon.
A bowl of clear soup is better than any kind of praise for achievements. It seems to take her back to the happiest and simplest time, enjoying the long-lost family affection and fatherly love.
At this moment,
it seems that she is no longer a high-ranking lady, but just a naive little girl.
The clear soup tastes as delicious as before.
It still tastes the same as before, and it is still as warm as before.
After drinking a few sips, the simple joy buried deep in the memory all overflowed from the heart at this moment. The delicacies from the mountains and the sea that have been tasted are far less delicious than this clear soup.
The father and daughter sat opposite each other in silence, and a long-lost smile appeared in each other's eyes.
Even if a bowl of clear soup has been empty for a long time.
Chen Yuxin's beautiful face was filled with indescribable emotion and joy. She no longer had the cold look she had before. She felt indescribable warmth and emotion, as well as a sense of regret that something was not finished, as if this bowl of soup was priceless and made her happier than any treasure.
But when she looked up with tears in her eyes, there was no one in front of her.
The face of her father, who had just accompanied her with a smile, was now gone. Apart from the cold night wind blowing in through the doors and windows, there was only the faint cry of the people in the distance.
Suddenly.
Chen Yuxin listened to the cry and felt a knot in her heart. Her jade hand trembled and the spoon fell to the ground in an instant!
"Crack!"
As the spoon broke into pieces, a very bad premonition drowned Chen Yuxin's brief surprise like a river. She stood up suddenly as if awakened from a dream, her face already pale!
"Father? Father!"
No matter how she shouted and searched, her father's figure was no longer in the City Lord's Mansion.
Far away in the night sky.
Chen Cangyun overlooked the tragic situation of Yecheng, with a complicated look in his eyes, until he heard a faint shout, he quickly gritted his teeth and retracted the last remaining light, turned around with a determined look, and shot into the clouds!
The bank of Luohe River.
The moon was dark and the wind was high.
After landing, Chen Cangyun stood quietly with his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly closed, letting the cold wind blow on his face. The cold expression on his face never wavered, and the terrifying fighting spirit emanated from his sword-like eyebrows.
The surroundings became colder and colder, and everything was strangely silent.
Until.
Several figures fell from the sky, and the silent night was completely broken by laughter!
"Hahaha..."
"Chen Cangyun, you dare to fight us alone, are you looking for death?!"
