Chapter 24 - Arson
In the middle of the night, the starry sky remains deep, and the earth is silent as usual.
The sleeping Li Qingniu suddenly woke up from his dream. He didn’t know why he had such a dream.
In his dream, he dreamed that when Gu’s caravan entered the wild to hunt wild beasts, he encountered a star-level brutal beast by mistake. Under the disparity in strength, the entire Gu’s caravan was lost in the wild, and no one was spared. .
Even Gu Chuan and Gu Ruoqing were among them. Although he knew that this kind of thing could not happen, the Gu’s caravan would not be able to break into the activity area of the star-level brutal beasts, and since Gu Chuan was awake, it would certainly not. Let her daughter get involved easily, not to mention the internal rectification of Gu’s family.
But Li Qingniu still has some inexplicable worries in his heart. No matter how many times he tries, he can’t fall asleep…
In Qingyang City, the fire was blazing.
In the middle of the night, when everyone was asleep, a big fire suddenly ignited in the house of Gu’s house. No one knew what the cause of the fire was.
When people were awakened from their sleep by noisy voices and shouts, the entire Gu’s compound was plunged into a sea of flames.
It may be that the fire was so strong that no one escaped from it.
Seeing the glorious past of the Gu’s Chamber of Commerce once turned into ashes, the onlookers all sighed and sighed, and began to speculate about the possibilities in their hearts.
They all know that the Gu’s Chamber of Commerce and Mo’s have been fighting openly and secretly recently, and they must not have a relationship. Mo’s even relied on the strong support and acted more unscrupulously, and would beat the Gu’s caravan at every turn.
Therefore, everyone speculated that the fire was most likely caused by Mo’s. Their purpose was nothing more than to completely eradicate Gu’s family, and that Gu’s family would never have a chance to stand up.
Just when everyone speculated, the outskirts of the city.
A team of more than a hundred people, wearing clothes that are convenient for night movement, is moving fast along with several carriages that pull goods.
The team moves quickly, in an orderly manner, and cooperates with each other tacitly. Obviously, there is no lack of training on weekdays.
Just as a group of people was about to cross a hill and enter the plains, suddenly there was a big fire on the cliff in front, and countless torches lit up the sky.
The path of the crowd was blocked by a team that didn’t know where they came from, and depending on the size of the opponent’s team, the number of people was at least several times more than yourself.
“Hahahaha… Gu Chuan, do you think you can get rid of the golden cicada by setting a fire? To tell you the truth, your first opportunity has been pierced by Mo Mou. He obediently put down his weapon and surrendered to me, and handed over that **** Gu Ruoqing for me Son Shouling, I might be able to show mercy and save you a life.”
On the mountain wall, Mo Cheng stood condescendingly, watching Gu Chuan and others surrounded by several entourages.
“Father, how does he know our actions? Could it be…”
As Gu Ruoqing said, she looked at the people behind her.
“It is suspicious, but now is not the time to think about it, so as not to get confused.”
“No reply? You know that my patience has always been bad, so let me help you decide.” Mo Cheng said in a weird voice, raising his hand, and more than a hundred rockets shot at Gu Chuan from all directions. A group of people.
The rockets formed a circle around them, forming a fire cage. The arrow is tied with a flammable object, touches the ground, collapses, spreads around, ignites nearby vegetation, and becomes a raging fire.
“Since you played a scene of arson and death, I will let you get what you want today. I want to see if you will surrender obediently, or would rather be burned to coke.” Mo Cheng said afterwards, he gave out another burst. Grim and weird smile.
Gu’s family was in trouble. As a good friend, Wu Shuangjie spontaneously took on the task of escort. Seeing that Mo Cheng was so arrogant and domineering, he wanted to take action, but was stopped by Gu Chuan.
“Brother Gu…”
“Mo Cheng was already a six-star warrior back then. After these years, he should have become a seven-star warrior. You are not his opponent, let me come.”
When the words fell, Gu Chuan had already burnt flames, raising his head and sneered: “Mo Cheng, haven’t seen him for many years, have you forgotten Gu’s martial arts attributes? Flame is my source of strength, look at it!”
With a loud shout, Gu Chuan absorbed the surrounding fire on himself, then rose from the ground, his body burst into flames, and plunged onto the cliff.
With a fist, he saw a fire tornado towards Mo Cheng.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Mo Cheng’s mouth, and his body flashed before disappearing. It’s just that the followers behind him are pitiful, because they can’t avoid it, and the fire waves are so violent, they are almost inevitable, they are all swallowed by the sea of fire, one by one, howling, beating, and rolling, from the cliff. Fell up and down.
“Hahaha… Gu Chuan, I haven’t seen you for many years. It seems that you have also forgotten that my spirit is ‘Meditational Displacement’. You can teleport as far as you can imagine.”
When Gu Chuan heard the words, his body was shocked. Mo Cheng’s voice came from where he was before, and Gu Ruoqing was standing next to him.
Looking back in shock, he heard Wu Shuangjie snorted and flew out.
“Uncle Wu!” Before Gu Ruoqing could finish her words, she was clasped by a thick and powerful hand. Gu Ruoqing immediately felt severe pain in her shoulder, and she couldn’t help but let out a scream.
Only at this time did Gu Chuan realize that he was in the enemy’s plan to tune the tiger away from the mountain. Mo Cheng first deliberately used the fire attack to make Gu Chuan think that he was negligent. In this way, we started with Gu Ruoqing and others.
“Qing’er!”
“Gu Chuan, you’d better stay honest, otherwise I only need **** to squeeze your daughter’s neck.” As Mo Cheng said, he really clasped Gu Ruoqing’s throat with his other hand.
“You… mean.”
“Hey hey, I didn’t bother to waste my energy when I didn’t have to work hard. I didn’t expect you to bring up such a beautiful daughter. She was really white as snow and slippery like fat. It’s no wonder my son was so obsessed with him to fight people hard, as long as you and me The two got married and put the Gu’s business group under the Mohs Chamber of Commerce. Your killing of my son was wiped out. How about?”
“You dream, who wants to marry your dead ghost son.” Gu Ruoqing said strugglingly.
“Oh? Don’t want to marry my son? Yes, Miss Gu Huanghua is about to marry. Just marrying a dead person like this is indeed a bit wronged. How about… marry me? Hehehe…” Mo Cheng said He showed a treacherous smile, which was disgusting.
“Asshole, dare to touch my daughter’s hair, Gu Chuan and you will never die!”
“Don’t die all day, it’s unlucky, I hope Brother Gu will consider it carefully.”
“Bah, if you have the ability, you can dare to make a decision with me.”
Mo Cheng sneered: “So you want to fight? Okay, someone will convince you to lose.”
When Gu Chuan heard the words, he just wanted to speak, when he suddenly felt a heat wave hitting his head, and when he looked up, he saw a tall figure with flames leaping down from the air and leaping towards him.
“Yang Lie!” Gu Chuan couldn’t dodge and greeted him with a fist.
However, the disparity between the two sides is huge, and the result can be imagined.
With a bang, Gu Chuan was hit by a punch by Yang Lie and hit the mountain wall. Due to the heavy damage, his body was unbalanced, and the flames surrounding him also disappeared invisibly.
“Puff…” A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Gu Chuan knelt there on one knee, supporting the ground with one hand, blood still oozing out of his mouth.
“Yang Lie… As the city lord, you disregard the law and discipline and are not worthy to be the lord of Qingyang City.”
Yang Lie snorted coldly and walked to Gu Chuan: “Gu Chuan, a private fight with the Mo’s Chamber of Commerce is an internal affair between your two families, but you kill innocents, arson and commit crimes. As the city lord, how can I indulge you? “
“You bullshit!”
“Huh, because of your arson, 13 houses near Gu’s family were burned, causing more than a dozen people to die tragically, and more than 20 people seriously injured. Just now, I saw you vent your anger with my own fire. More than a dozen people under the Chamber of Commerce have been brutally murdered. If you don’t bring you to justice today, what kind of face will the city lord have to face the people of Qingyang City.”
Gu Chuan sneered when he heard the words and looked at Mo Cheng bitterly. He had to admit that Mo Cheng was more insidious than himself in terms of scheming.
How can a character that can develop and grow up against the Gu family in more than ten years is an ordinary character? The mentality of its means can be seen from this.
Facing such an enemy is already tricky enough, and now there is a star-level powerhouse like Yang Lie as an opponent.
Under such circumstances, Gu Chuan knew that he had no chance of winning at all, and when he was about to despair…
“Girl Ruoqing, Uncle Gu, it turns out that you are here and I want to go to the city to find you. Why don’t you sleep in the middle of the night? Why are you running outside the city?
A familiar voice came into the ears of the Gu family’s father and daughter, and the fire of hope instantly illuminated everyone’s desperate hearts.
“Brother Li…” As soon as Gu Ruoqing spoke, Mo Cheng’s hand on her throat was tightened, which immediately made her breathless and unable to speak.
“Young Master Li, why are you…” Gu Chuan couldn’t believe it when he looked at Li Qingniu who suddenly appeared next to him.
Li Qingniu leaned over and helped him up and said, “I had a strange dream. I dreamed that you were attacked by brutal beasts and all of you were killed. Although I think it’s impossible, I still want to come back and see you.”
After that, he turned to look at Yang Lie who was a little dumbfounded from a distance, and said, “Hey, isn’t he the city lord that day? Uncle Gu, is he here to bully you again?”
Gu Chuan coughed slightly, spit out blood on the ground, and said, “It’s not just him, but that person.” He pointed his finger at the right to pinch Gu Ruoqing’s Mo Cheng.
Li Qingniu looked in the direction he was pointing, and Wu Shuangjie, who fell on the ground, shouted: “Brother Li, save the lady.”
Mo Cheng grinned bitterly: “Smelly boy, it turns out that you are a green cow, and you killed my son, and I want you to pay for it!”
Li Qingniu said inexplicably, “Who is your son? I did kill some bad guys recently. If your son is a bad guy…”
“Shut up, I won’t listen to the explanation. Anyway, today I am going to get justice for Inuzi, do you want to save this woman? Yes, the murderer pays for his life, and I don’t want to hurt the innocent, as long as you confess in front of me and commit yourself to it. My son pays his orders, and I promise you to let them go.”
