The temperature difference between day and night in Hongli City is very large, and the morning passes very short. As soon as the sun climbs up the city wall, the temperature in the city boils.

The scorching sunlight burned the houses in the city and pedestrians on the road.

Although it was still early, as stores opened to welcome guests, more and more pedestrians on the road gradually increased.

"Have you heard that? Ou Ye's family was burned by fire yesterday, and it was burned clean!"

"I knew it last night, and you can see the fire from afar."

In front of a restaurant selling breakfast, there were two customers who looked like vendors, eating the tofu in the bowl while chatting.

"This Ouye family thought of the glory of the past. Even the people from Yanzhou Prefecture had to give in. Never thought that this scene had become a scene in just ten years."

Someone sighed.

"What do you want to pity every good thing in these aristocratic families? If the Immortal Alliance had not destroyed so many aristocratic families and sects, we casual cultivators would have been suppressed by them and would never have a chance to stand out."

"Just say it casually, how can I pity them? It's just a pity that Ou Ye's family's skill in refining weapons is a real magic weapon for cultivators."

"Do you think the Immortal Alliance can't think of this? The secret technique of Ou Ye's family in crafting weapons has naturally sent people to take it away."

"As you say that, the fire yesterday was... the person from the Iron Fort..."

"Everyone knows this. In the hands of the Immortal Alliance, it is better to enjoy the Ou Ye family alone? Is the Immortal Alliance different from them. It is from the side of us casual cultivators and ordinary people."

"This is true. After the Immortal Alliance, we ordinary people in the government no longer have to look at the eyes of the children of the aristocratic families."

After the two talked about the sect and the Immortal Alliance for a while, the topic suddenly changed.

"By the way, something strange happened to the Iron Castle these days. I wonder if you have heard of it."

"I've been busy sorting out the goods I've transported to the city a few days ago. I haven't been there. What's wrong?"

"Three days ago, the city lord killed a group of Qiushui remnants and hung their heads on the wall of the Iron Fort."

"In the past few years, the Qiushui remnants have been killed in Hongli City, but there are not many thousands or hundreds. What's so strange about this?"

"Qi Qi is there. From that day on, a child who came out of nowhere had been kneeling in the square in front of the Iron Fort, not eating or eating for three days and three nights, and did not move."

"Can't there be a relative of this child in this group of Qiushui's remnants?"

"But the Iron Fort City Guard did not come out to drive him away, nor did he catch people."

"You don't understand this."

“How to say it?”

"The city lord is killing a chicken to warn the monkey. Instead of risking his reputation and killing a child who is powerless, it is better to let him kneel under the city to shock those who dare to be with Qiu Shui. In recent years, the decapitated alliance has been rampant in the ten states. I am afraid that many of the people in our Hongli City will be bewitched by it. The city lord just uses this to warn those people to kill two birds with one stone."

"In this way, our Lord Mu City is really smart."

"You and I are all involved in common people, and it is useless to argue about these things. Why don't we bet on a bet? Can this kid survive today? If he can survive today, I will have my money for this month of wine!"

"No, no, this kid has been exposed to the sun for three days and can't live today no matter how he looks. I will definitely lose if he bet like this."

Then the two started arguing about this.

"I'll bet with you two."

But at this time, a tall, man in a long Confucian shirt walked to the tables of the two.

"If that child can't survive today, this spirit stone will belong to two. If he survives today, how about you and you invite me to have a bowl of lotus seed porridge?"

The man held a roast goose wrapped in oil paper in one hand, and held a spirit stone in the other hand and looked at the two of them with a smile.

Or maybe the man appeared too suddenly, and the two people who had been chatting before were stunned for a moment.

The man holding the roast goose, both of them didn't say anything, so they just smiled, and then left with the roast goose, and the direction he left was the Iron Fort.

"What, who wants to bet on you?"

"Where did the foreigners come from? You dare to talk to us like this? We will go to the city lord's mansion to report it to him later. Maybe we can get some rewards."

"Brother is right. I will draw a portrait of this person immediately and send it to the city lord's mansion later."

When the man holding the roast goose disappeared on the street, the two suddenly started to curse, and when they thought that they might be able to exchange for some rewards, they couldn't help but become excited.

...

In the square in front of the Hongli City Fort, a group of people were watching monkey plays, besieging the city and looking at a little boy in the middle of the square.

This boy is nothing else, it's Tang Beidou

At this time, the sun gradually became vicious, and the air was burned to the point where there was no trace of moisture. Tang Beidou's sweat dripped onto the bluestone floor and was immediately dried. His dry lips opened and closed slightly, and his pupils without any luster looked up from time to time to look at the direction of the Iron Castle.

He knelt here for three days and three nights.

Some people think very simply that Tang Beidou is a fool, and only kneels here when he sees the murder.

Some people think very complicatedly because the head hanging on the iron castle belongs to the Qiushui Religion, so the child kneeling here is very likely to have something to do with the Qiushui Religion.

Even, this child may have been deliberately placed here by the detached alliance.

Whether it is complicated or simple, this is undoubtedly a very interesting thing in the eyes of some urban residents in Hongli City who like to watch the fun.

So many people are waiting for the child to fall. As long as he falls, all kinds of guesses will be fruitful.

But they didn't know that, Tang Beidou would kneel here, just a son's instinct after losing his father.

After seeing his father die under the Iron Fort, he had two choices. One was to endure humiliation and leave, and the other was to sacrifice his life and rush into the Iron Fort to take revenge. Even if he died in the Iron Fort in the end, he could be considered dead.

His father was his only motivation for survival. Tang Beidou had no reason to survive, so he would not choose the first choice.

But he couldn't choose the second approach, because as long as he rushed over, the Ou Ye family would be implicated because he took him in.

He didn't want to escape and couldn't take revenge, so he could only kneel here.

"Dad, I'll see you right away."

Tang Beidou opened and closed his lips silently.

At this time, his mouth was dry like a red soldering iron. If it weren't for his soul power, he would have fainted from the sun on the first day.

"I don't know what the city lord who lives in the iron castle looks like. If he can treat other people's lives like grass, he must have a fierce and evil face."

He muttered as if he was looking back.

"Who? Don't go over!"

"Hey, that guy, come back soon!"

"You're desperate!"

Just as Tang Beidou was thinking this in his heart with a silence, the crowd watching not far behind him suddenly burst into screams.

Tang Beidou instinctively looked back.

I saw a young man wearing a blue Confucian shirt holding a paper umbrella in one hand and carrying an oil paper bag in the other, and then walked towards him little by little by little by little by little by little.

Although Tang Beidou's consciousness was a little distracted at this time, he finally recognized the figure.

Compared with the boys of the same age, Tang Beidou's mind is much stronger. In the past few days, no matter how much the loss of his father or the burning sun hunting over his head, he has never made his mind weak.
