Chapter 484: The Envoy Arrives
The two were discussing, when suddenly there were footsteps outside, and they stopped in front of the door, and said respectfully: "Lord of the city, there are people outside asking to see!"
"No, don't you know I'm entertaining a distinguished guest? Let him wait outside. Yuan Chen said dissatisfiedly.
"But the man said he was going to show you this thing, and you will know who it is when you see it. The man outside said in a frightened tone. In fact, he also knew that he shouldn't have come to the city lord at this time, but the man was extremely generous, and quietly stuffed a large ingot of silver in his hand. Money can communicate with the gods, and naturally it can also communicate with people. The mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of people are short, this person has taken the advantage, and for the sake of the face of the silver, he will help him pass on a word, and as for whether the city lord sees it or not, it has nothing to do with him. Even if the city lord is angry about this, he will scold him a few words at most, but he can't lose a piece of meat on his body, and besides, he hasn't been scolded. After taking a few words of scolding but in exchange for the benefits of real money, of course this thing can be done! After a little calculation, he came to Yuan Chen's city lord with a hard head.
Yuan Chen was afraid of Lu Changkong's face, so he wanted to continue to refuse, but Lu Changkong motioned for him to go out and have a look. Yuan Chen went out to take the things in the hands of his subordinates, his face changed greatly at a glance, and he didn't have time to say a word to Lu Changkong, and immediately ordered his subordinates: "Quickly invite that person in, go quickly!"
Lu Changkong was curious, and then walked out, and after seeing the things in Yuan Chen's hand, his expression also changed greatly, and said, "What are you doing in a daze, let's go and greet it together!"
The two hurriedly walked out, and soon met with the visitor, and the two were just about to make a move, when the person came and said: "Thank you Lord City Lord, I am really sorry to see you, and I thank you for coming out to greet you in person!"
Yuan Chen glanced at the person who had delivered the letter before, and said, "Distinguished guests, it's really brilliant, sir, please!"
It was rare for the subordinate to see the city lord receive a person like this, and immediately understood that this person's identity must be unusual. When doing things under the big shots, you must see more and talk less, grasp the proportions, and don't be curious about what you shouldn't know, let alone ask. When the servant saw the castle lord's eyes glancing at him, he immediately understood that he was superfluous here, and immediately retired after bringing the guests to the castle lord.
This ingot of silver is more than his annual income, and it seems that the watchdog of the city lord's mansion is also a fat man, as long as this little power is used properly, the benefits that can fall into his hands will certainly not be less! There are certainly not a few subordinates with this kind of mentality, and there are a large number of such people in the government at all levels, and if you want to find the government to do something, these people will peel off a layer of skin from you. Hades is so good at seeing little ghosts, and that's probably how it evolved.
Yuan Chen took the two of them back to his office again, looked around, and found that there was no one else, so he welcomed the two into the door. After entering the door, Yuan Chen closed the door and immediately knelt down to the people who came, not only him, but even Lu Changkong also knelt down.
"Your subordinates greet the envoy!" both of them said respectfully.
"Get up!" the person who came generously accepted a salute from the two.
"I don't know what the envoy is doing here, if it is useful to his subordinates, he will do his best to help. Yuan Chen stood up and returned the token in his hand to the person who came, and immediately asked.
"You must have known about the defeat of the people in the Ghost Domain, and the Lord is very dissatisfied with the current situation in Jinzhou, so he has ordered me to deal with this matter. The envoy made it clear.
"Your Excellency, the two of us were discussing this matter just now, I don't know what instructions your lord has?" Lu Changkong said.
"The Ghost Domain was defeated, and their leader found the Lord to vent his dissatisfaction. He shifted the blame for the defeat of the war on our inaccurate intelligence, although his accusation has some truth, but if the responsibility is put on us completely, then it will be over, therefore, the Lord is very angry about this!" The envoy said, "Since the ghost people can't be relied on, then we have to take action ourselves, so we must turn the situation around in the shortest possible time and let the ghost people control Jinzhou!"
"Hmph! A group of non-existent things dare to be dissatisfied with the Lord! If it weren't for the fact that they still have some use value, I would have crushed them with one hand!" Lu Changkong said dissatisfiedly.
"Changkong, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan! Even the Lord has endured this breath, you can't be rash and ruin the Lord's plan! After completing our great cause, these ghosts have lost their usefulness, and you can deal with them however you want, but not now, not only can you not show any dissatisfaction with them, but you must also follow them, coax them, and let them work for us!" the envoy reminded.
"My subordinates understand!" Lu Changkong immediately replied.
"This time, the Lord sent the secret group together, this is one of the hole cards in the Lord's hand, so you should understand the Lord's determination! Yuan Chen, you are more familiar with the affairs of Jinzhou than us, do you have any plan of action?" the envoy asked.
Yuan Chen immediately replied: "Envoy Hui, just now I was discussing this matter with Lord Lu, we think we should attack the Lin family's forces first, their existence is too much of an obstacle, and the fact that the people of the Ghost Domain did not successfully control Jinzhou has a lot to do with them making trouble." ”
The envoy nodded and said, "I think so too!" With the strength and network of the Lin family, with them in Jinzhou, they will naturally find out the whereabouts of the people of the Ghost Domain, and the actions of the people of the Ghost Domain who think they are very secret, maybe the Lin family has a clear grasp of them. It is very likely that the Lin family is the eyes and ears of those who fight against the ghost domain in Lugou Village, as long as the Lin family is destroyed, those armed forces gathered in Lugou Village will become blind and deaf, and it will be much easier to deal with them when the time comes. ”
"What the envoy said is! Although I don't have a complete grasp of the Lin family's whereabouts, I already know the general scope of their activities, as long as we make a sudden move, even if we can't catch them all, we can wipe out the Lin family's people in Jinzhou, do you think we will act directly, or wait a little longer?" Yuan Chen said.
"Don't worry! Since you want to do it, you can't be anticlimactic. In this way, increase manpower to continue to monitor the Lin family, and we must fully grasp the whereabouts of the Lin family. The dark group has not been seen in the rivers and lakes for many years, and it is estimated that many people have forgotten our existence after so many years, and it is time to evoke people's memories and fears in their hearts!" said the envoy coldly.
"Your Excellency the Special Envoy is right! Now when people mention the most powerful forces in the rivers and lakes, they will think of the Longmen List, but in fact, some forces are still above the Gongsun family at the top of the Longmen List, but we are retreating behind the scenes, not wanting to attract people's attention. Now let's take the Lin family first, and let everyone in the world know who is the most powerful force in the world!" Lu Changkong said in high spirits. He is the deputy leader of the Heavenly Thorn Battalion, and he has always been sharp and resolute in doing things, and he doesn't like to make compromises. Such a person loves to behave, likes to be the focus of everyone, and after joining the Shadow Organization, he knows that this organization has a very strong strength, but he has been holding back, which makes him feel very depressed. Now that the shadow is back in the rivers and lakes, he can't wait to make things bigger, attract the attention of people all over the mainland, and make his fame rise with the tide and become famous all over the world!
After hearing this, the envoy was also aroused, and said: "I think about how many huge forces I destroyed when I followed the Lord to fight in the south and the north, in addition to how many powerful ethnic groups, and how many mysterious inheritances were cleared...... It was really a glorious time, and the people of the world who killed us were terrified and bowed down when they mentioned our name! If it weren't for the Lord's rapid retreat and leading the organization out of the rivers and lakes, these so-called forces on the Dragon Gate list now would not even be qualified to lift our shoes!" The envoy recalled his past deeds and was also full of pride.
"Special Envoy Zhan, I heard that when you were young, you were also a generation of young talents, not only a talent and a graceful talent, but also super poor, famous all over the world, suddenly left the rivers and lakes, disappeared, and some people even rumored that you have passed away, can you be willing?" Lu Changkong asked puzzled.
Zhan Xiongfei laughed and said: "Changkong, you are still young! After experiencing more things, you will understand that this is not a question of being willing or not, but a way of survival, you must know that it is too rigid and easy to break! Just like a bow, if you pull it into a full bow all the time, anyone who sees it will panic in their hearts, afraid that you will release a fatal arrow, but if you are in this tense state all the time, the bow will also accelerate its damage. At the beginning, we were in this state, although we were bold and happy, but we also left a lot of hidden dangers, and even aroused panic all over the world. If it weren't for this, how could our shadow have the strength to stir up the general trend of the world now? Now it seems that the Lord is really far-sighted and wise. With our strength at that time, at most, we could just squeeze into the top ten of the Dragon Gate List, but now it is not, even the Taiyin Sect, which ranks sixth on the list, is part of our organization. Therefore, endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sea and the sky, and when we make a comeback, the sea and the sky will be ours!"
"The truth is like this, I still feel that I have retired from the rivers and lakes with the strength of the Lord, and my heart is a little unhappy. Lu Changkong said.
"Changkong, you just went all the way too smoothly, that's why you have this feeling. Think about it, how many people have achieved great things in ancient and modern times, or people who have changed the trajectory of their lives, which one has not experienced some ups and downs? Which one has not been crawling in muddy water? Which one has not experienced a few frustrations or setbacks? It is not easy to achieve things, and it is even more difficult to achieve great things!" Zhan Xiongfei took a deep breath and said in a serious tone.
"The lesson of the envoy is that his subordinates must bear in mind that they must be cautious in their actions in the future, and they will never cause trouble for the organization!" Lu Changkong hurriedly said.
"No, young people should have the vigor of young people, and they can do whatever they want! One of the big reasons why we retired back then was that we lacked a foundation and there was no one behind us. You are different, you have the support of the organization, even if you break the sky, then we will make up for it! Especially in Jinzhou now, you can toss as much as you want, you are not afraid of you doing things, but you are afraid that you will not do big things, understand?" said the special envoy of Zhan excitedly.
"My subordinates understand!" replied Yuan Chen and Lu Changkong.
"Since it will take a little time to attack the Lin family, then let's meet with the people of Lugou Village for a while and see how many catties and taels they have, and they can actually defeat the army of 60,000 ghost domains!" Zhan Xiongfei said with narrowed eyes.
"Your Excellency, isn't it too risky for me to attack Lugou Village with our troops?" asked Yuan Chen puzzled.
"Who told you to attack them? If we don't go, can't we let them come? You are the city lord of Dongning City, don't you give an order to let them come to see you?" said the envoy with a smirk.
