Gao Fei shook his head: "It's not as simple as you think. ".2."

"Huh?"

"What's not easy?"

Chen San and Liu Qing were stunned.

"Dongfang Jian is the son-in-law of the Emperor of People, I have a common enmity with Dongfang Sword, so it is reasonable that the Emperor of People should not promote me. Gao Fei expressed the doubts in his heart: "If it were you, would you promote your son-in-law's enemy?"

"Don't say it, if you think about it, it's a bit of a problem. Chen San frowned.

"Probably...... The Emperor of the People is fair, regardless of the grudges between the big man and the Dongfang Sword......" Liu Qing said in an uncertain tone.

Goofy pouted: "The probability of this is very low, almost negligible. "He has dealt with the Emperor of Man and knows that the Emperor of Man is not a fair and selfless person.

"So, there's a conspiracy in this?"

"If the Emperor wants to calculate the adult, he can come clearly, there is no need to make such a big effort. ”

"There's definitely something ...... in there"

"Anyway, under the holy decree, the lord must go to Tianshui City to take office. ”

The three of them thought about it together for a long time, but they didn't come up with a reason.

"Forget it, I don't want to. Gao Fei waved his hand: "It's a disaster that can't be avoided, what should come will always come! It's useless to just worry, since the Emperor wants me to be the city lord, then I'll be! Who is afraid of whom! Chen San, Liu Qing, you hurry up and investigate Tianshui City, before dark, I want to know everything about Tianshui City." ”

"Yes. Chen San and Liu Qing turned around and left.

Gao Fei touched his bare chin with his hand, and said to himself, "Anyway, promotion is a good thing after all, right?"

In the evening.

Chen San and Liu Qing came back, and their faces were a little ugly.

"How's it going?" asked Goofy.

"Your Excellency, you've been trapped!" Chen San said with a snort.

"Huh?" Gao Fei was stunned: "I've been cheated? What do you mean? ”

"Tianshui City is located on the border, next to the territory of the demon clan, the law and order in the city is chaotic, and there will be weapons fighting every day, according to incomplete statistics, in the past ten years, a total of tens of millions of people have died in Tianshui City. ”

"What?" Goofy's eyes widened, "What do you say? Tens of millions of people die in ten years? Millions of people die in an average year? This is too exaggerated, right?"

"Someone gave Tianshui City a nickname, called Hell City, and the people in it lived a hellish life every day. ”

"If the people are living a hard life, why don't they move away?"

"They want to move, but the government of Tianshui City does not allow it, and has also formulated rules for this reason, whoever dares to move out of Tianshui City will be killed on the spot, and if the circumstances are serious, the nine clans will be directly punished. ”

"What?

"My lord, you'd better not go to Tianshui City! The situation there is too complicated! If you're not careful, you'll get into big trouble. ”

"Not going?" Gao Fei snorted lightly, "Disobeying the holy decree is a serious crime, and it will hit the ground." Speaking of this, Gao Fei sighed softly: "It's not happy that fate is in the hands of others." ”

Three days later, Gao Fei set off to the imperial city, and according to the rules of officialdom, after being promoted to the city lord, he should go to the imperial city to meet the emperor and thank him in person.

......

Palace.

Inside the main hall.

The Human Emperor Dugu sat on the dragon chair and looked at Gao Fei with a smile: "You should have inquired about the situation in Tianshui City, right?"

Goofy nodded: "I inquired." ”

"What have you heard?" asked Dugu with interest.

Goofy hesitated for a moment and said, "I inquired...... The security in Tianshui City is very chaotic......"

"Chaos?" Dugu grinned in shock: "That's right! Tianshui City is indeed very chaotic! Let's put it this way, Tianshui City is the most chaotic city in the Terran territory. ”

"Your Majesty, why did you let me go to Tianshui City to be the city lord?" Gao Fei endured and endured, and finally couldn't help but ask: "If you don't like me, you can just do it, there is no need to make such a big detour." ”

"It's not pleasing to the eye?" Dugu said with a shocking smile: "You think too much! I don't have the heart to harm you." ”

"Then why are you ......?"

"Tianshui City has always been a piece of my heart, the people in the city live a hellish life, and many people die every year, I am ashamed of them. Speaking of this, Dugu sighed heavily.

"Shameful?" Gao Fei frowned: "Since Your Majesty is ashamed in your heart, why didn't you come forward to rescue the people of Tianshui City?"

"I want to save me, but I can't. ”

"How can it be? You are the high human emperor, the ruler of the Terran territory, and all the human races must obey your dispatch......"

"Tianshui City has some special ......"

"Special?"

"Let me tell you a story. ”

"Story?"

"More than a hundred years ago. Dugu shocked with a look of memory in his eyes: "I sent my eldest son Dugu Meng to Tianshui City to be the city lord, Dugu Meng is my most important son, he is talented and steady, the only drawback is that he is too stubborn and can't listen to the advice of others...... At the beginning, Dugu Meng conscientiously governed Tianshui City, killed the nearby bandits, and tried to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, if it continued like this......"

Goofy listened quietly.

"Later, Dugu Meng fell in love with a demon woman, and gave birth to a child without telling me, I was very angry after learning about this, regardless of Dugu Meng's bitter pleading, I slapped the demon woman to death, I originally wanted to kill the child, but in the end my heart relented...... Anyway, that kid has the blood of the Dugu family in his body......"

"Huh?" Goofy exclaimed.

"Ever since I killed that demon woman, Dugu Meng has changed, becoming taciturn and never talking to me again. ”

"And then?" Goofy's curiosity was hooked,

"Later......" A trace of pain flashed in Dugu's shocking eyes: "I thought that after a long time, Dugu Meng would forget that demon woman...... What I never expected was ...... After Dugu Meng raised the child, he ...... I committed suicide ......"

"Huh?" Goofy exclaimed again, "Suicide?"

"Yes, suicide. Dugu Jingtian slowly exhaled a sullen breath, and his voice became hoarse: "Dugu Meng left a suicide note, guess what was written in the suicide note?"

Goofy shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"There are three pieces of paper in the suicide note, and the three pieces of paper are full of the word 'hate', I counted them, and there are a total of 10,000 words 'hate'. ”

"It's all hate?"

"That's right, it's all hate! Through the suicide note, you can know how much Dugu Meng hates me! In the final analysis, I underestimated his feelings for the demon woman. ”

"What about that kid?" Goofy grasped the crux of the matter, "He's still alive, right?"

Dugu nodded shockingly: "Alive!" he is in Tianshui City at the moment. ”

"Tianshui City?" Gao Fei's heart moved: "The chaos in Tianshui City now has something to do with him?"
