"I knew you were going to ask this question, the reason for the barrier? Let me think carefully about how to answer you!" Nangong Li tilted his head and actually started to think seriously.

Yu Chenan was stunned. He knew that Nangong Li was teasing him, and an unknown fire surged into his heart, but his reason prevented him from taking action.

He had already taken action once when he was in Nangong Mansion, so he would not take action a second time because he knew the gap between himself and Nangong Li.

Although he and Nangong Li are both guardians of the imperial city, the two of them have not crossed paths. If Yu Chenan is guarding the royal family, then Nangong Li is actually guarding only this so-called Tiandu City.

He almost never went to the morning court and stayed in Nangong Mansion all day long. After decades of peace in Tiandu City, he stayed in Nangong Mansion for decades.

It took so long that almost everyone forgot about him and didn't even remember his face, which is why so many guards didn't recognize him.

"Since Eunuch Yu knows what happened fifty years ago, why don't you boldly speculate on why I did this?" Nangong Li thought for a while, but seemed not to have thought of a reasonable explanation. He raised his head and looked at Yu Chen'an.

A weird smile.

"Do you really want me to say it?" Yu Chen'an lowered his voice. He seemed to be staring at Nangong Li in front of him, but in fact he was secretly spying on the guards around him, for fear that they would hear his conversation with Nangong Li.

If this matter were to be known to the world, it would definitely cause riots, so it could only be kept as a secret between them.

"There's no one else here, so it's okay if you say so." Nangong Li smiled as if he was not afraid of boiling water.

"I think you want to blaspheme the imperial power and shake the hearts of the people of the world." Yu Chenan stared at Nangong Li with narrowed eyes and spoke word by word.

When the monsters were still there, he didn't immediately fight against them. When the monsters were clearly no longer in the city, Nangong Li began to restrict the people's access, so as not to panic them.

This is true for Tiandu City, but what about the people outside Tiandu City? They will only feel more scared!

His voice was not low, but at this moment there was an invisible energy spreading around them to ensure that what they said would not be leaked.

"Hahahaha, Eunuch Yu, you have such a rich imagination! I did this just to protect the people of Tiandu City. How do you know those monsters won't come back again?" Nangong Li looked at Yu Chen meaningfully.

install.

"Besides, everyone's eyes are sharp. If the imperial power is really reliable, how can the people's hearts be shaken just because of my little hint? Eunuch Yu, do you think I am right?" He added.

It's just that the focus of his words seems to be on the second half.

"Hmph, I can't make sense to you." Yu Chen'an looked at Nangong Li who had ulterior motives and snorted coldly. In terms of force, he is no match for Nangong Li, and in terms of scheming, he is no match for Nangong Li either.

"When will you open the barrier?"

Nangong Li looked down at the gravel on the ground, then looked up at the full moon in the sky, and smiled, "When it is safe, I will naturally open this barrier."

"Huh!" Yu Chenan couldn't help but snorted coldly, but there was nothing he could do to Nangong Li, so he jumped up and flew towards the imperial city.

The purpose of his coming back was to confirm whether Yan Jinyu was okay. Since he was safe, he had to go back and report this matter to Yan Jinyu as soon as possible.

Yushan.

Although he knew that Yan Yushan would probably be unable to do anything to him.

Looking at Yu Chenan's angrily leaving figure, the smile on Nangong Li's face gradually turned cold. There was a vermilion ring on his right thumb, and he was turning the ring constantly at this moment.

Daybreak soon dawned, but the barrier still hadn't dissipated. Hundreds of people gathered early at the gate of Tiandu City.

They were so scared that they wanted to leave the city to seek refuge, but apart from the barrier, the guards guarding the city gate did not allow them to go out.

Because Nangong Li had specifically ordered them not to allow anyone in or out before the barrier was lifted. They didn't know the reason, they just knew to obey the order.

"Master officers and soldiers, please let us out! The capital is too dangerous today."

"I'm afraid you don't know that there were thousands of monsters flying in the sky over Bai's Gambling House last night." Sure enough, just after dawn, the news of monsters in Tiandu City spread throughout the streets and alleys.

"Don't worry, everyone, Tianducheng is absolutely safe." Several guards said with a grimace, unable to withstand the pushing and shoving of the crowd.

"Fart, even the barrier has been set up, who dares to say that Tiandu City is absolutely safe? If it is safe, why doesn't he want us to go out?" There were a few people in the crowd who were worried about the world being in chaos.

"That's a monster, a monster that even the cultivators can't do anything about. Can you, the little guards, be able to defend it?" A voice of disdain came from the crowd. The common people are not fools, even though the world has been stable for hundreds of years.

, but they know the terror of monsters.

"Yes, yes, I heard that all the clan leaders of the Taoist sect were killed by monsters. If we don't escape, we might all die in this city." Several elderly people muttered in a serious voice.

The news spread from ten to ten, and soon everyone knew about it.

"I'm afraid you don't know that the Taoist clan leader died in a miserable way. His whole body was cold, and not a single piece of his skin was intact. I heard he was poisoned by a demon!" Several people gathered around and murmured softly.

"Yes, I heard that there is another person who was infected with the demon poison just by touching the dead body of their clan leader. He has not recovered yet and is searching for the miracle doctor all over the city!" Dao Ziru sent people to find the doctor.

Catching wind and shadows, they spread all kinds of strange things when they heard them.

"This is too scary. I wonder if we will also be infected with the demon poison!" The people who heard these rumors couldn't help but stand on end and touch their faces and necks.

"Hurry up and let us out. We just came to Tianducheng to do business. We don't want to risk our lives here." A large part of these people who are urging to leave Tianducheng are foreigners.

With the idea of ​​coming to Tianducheng to make money.

But life is obviously more important than making money, so they are all clamoring to leave here at this moment.

Whether they were foreign residents or local residents, they were making a fuss at the gate of the city, which almost shocked the whole city.

More and more people feel that Tiandu City is no longer safe, and they are trying to get out.

The guards at the door are weak and will soon be unable to hold on.

In a small teahouse not far away, a man in white was sitting there drinking tea.

This is the second floor of the teahouse, facing the main entrance, with a wide view. It is a good place to watch.

Nangong Li sat at the empty table

In the Central Committee, he is probably the only one who can sit down and drink tea now.

Looking at the swarming crowd, a happy smile appeared on his lips.

It seemed that the more scared and panicked the people were, the happier he was.

"O official officer, please let us out, we still want to go back alive to see our wives and children!" A middle-aged man carrying a suitcase cried bitterly, beat his chest, and seemed to regret that he had left home.

He is not dead yet, but he already looks like he will never see his family again.

"Will you give in or not? If you still don't give in, don't blame us for being rude!" A group of bold people immediately became cold-faced when they saw that the guards refused to give in.

It seemed that if they didn't get out of the way, they would take action. A smile appeared on the corner of Nangong Li's mouth. He wished that this matter would get bigger and bigger. He wanted to see how Yan Yushan would deal with this farce.

When life is at stake, the law is just a piece of paper. Even if they touch the law, they have to escape from this terrible city.

"What's the point of breaking through their obstruction? Can you break through this barrier?" Just when a group of mobs were planning to cause trouble, a clear voice sounded in the sky.

Nangong Li twirled a cup and watched a woman in white wearing a veil leap through the crowd and stand on the city wall.

She is tall and tall, with only her eyes and wrists exposed which are extremely fair. The wind blows her dress, like a goddess descending to earth.

"The demon has left Tiandu City. No place is safer than Tiandu City at this moment." The fairy's voice sounded particularly cold.

"Nonsense, how do you know they won't come back?" People didn't fully believe her words, and they boldly shouted.

"Even if they come back, there is still a Half-step Taihe Immortal sitting in Tiandu City. Where else can be safer outside Tiandu City than inside the city?" The woman raised her eyebrows and asked everyone.

What she said left everyone speechless.

"Yes, don't we still have General Nangong? If the sky falls, General Nangong will still hold it up for us!"

"That's right, we have General Nangong. Isn't this barrier set up by General Nangong to protect us?"

This group of people who were initially overwhelmed by fear seemed to have come to their senses, and the originally restricted panic in their hearts turned into joy.

Even Nangong Li obviously did not expect such an ending, which was completely different from what he had in mind.

This group of people are easily shaken, whether it's fear or reassurance, sometimes it's just a word.

Nangong Li narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman on the wall in the distance, and slowly put down the cup in his hand. He did not recognize the woman in front of him.

"But when the monsters appeared last night, why didn't General Nangong take action to stop them?" There are also people who do not follow the crowd and have their own ideas.

"You also know that General Nangong is a half-step Taihe Immortal. Every time a Half-step Taihe Immortal takes action, the earth will be shaken. This is why he did not take action." The woman explained that although she was

He was talking nonsense, but every word made sense. The people nodded one after another, and for a while the atmosphere became less tense.

Even Nangong Li, who was sitting in the distance drinking tea, couldn't help laughing. He originally deliberately allowed the group of little monsters to turn Tiandu City upside down, but in her words, it turned out that he didn't dare to take action easily because he was too strong.
