Chapter Thirty-Eight: Throwing Yourself into the Net

As soon as the words fell, there was a knock on the door behind him, and Nankong said stiffly without looking back, "Enter!" Then he turned around, left the mirror, got dressed and walked to the main hall.

I thought it was the maid in the house, but I didn't expect it to be Ji Wan'er, Nan Kongqian couldn't help but be stunned when he saw her come in with food and fiddle on the table, there seemed to be something in his heart, he paused, and then slowly walked to the table.

"Why are you?" Nan Kongqian sat down and looked at Ji Wan'er and asked, she smiled slightly, "Seeing that you haven't eaten all night, I'm afraid that you will be hungry and can't hold on, so I made you some meals with my own hands, all of which are relatively light, you can taste it, you are full, and you have the strength to do other things." ”

After that, she handed him the chopsticks, Nankong glanced at it, stretched out her hand to take it, and said: "Aren't the people all right? ”

"I'm fine. Ji Wan'er smiled slightly, the more she was like this, the more embarrassed Nankong Qian, he hurriedly asked her to do it, eat with him, and then apologized to her: "I'm sorry Wan'er, my father originally set a date for us to get married, but now that there has been such a big change in Jiangling City, the people of the Annihilation Palace don't know when they will make a comeback, so ...... So the wedding date may have to be postponed......"

Ji Wan'er didn't have a trace of surprise when he heard this, he just nodded lightly, and the corners of his mouth were still smiling, "I know, it's okay, everything is up to your arrangement." ”

As soon as Ji Wan'er said this, Nankong Qian was even more overwhelmed, and his heart was full of guilt for her, and he couldn't help blurting out a sentence of "I'm sorry", "I made you wronged." Nankong lowered his eyes in shame.

"You don't have to apologize to me. Ji Wan'er said, "I know, I am also very sad that Uncle Nan has passed away, besides, now Uncle Nan's funeral has not been held, and you have not succeeded to the position of city lord, before Uncle Nan has entered the earth, it is indeed not appropriate for us to talk about marriage, besides, the people of the Annihilation Palace have only temporarily left Jiangling City, and I don't know what kind of things they will do next, once you succeed to the position of city lord, there must be a lot of things you need to worry about, as for me, I don't matter." ”

Ji Wan'er still smiled and said to Nan Kongqian, these words moved him very much, he finally showed a smile, and his tone was firm, "Thank you, Wan'er, after I take care of everything, I will definitely give you a beautiful wedding!"

Ji Wan'er nodded vigorously, "Hmm!"

Maybe the only one who can make Nankong Qian show a smile is Ji Wan'er, after eating, Nankong Qian sent Ji Guan'er back to the courtyard, and asked her to rest, and Ji Wan'er also let Nan Kongqian take care of himself, although there are many things, but don't work too hard, Nankong Qian nodded with a smile, and after that, he left the City Lord's Mansion, intending to find the Dark Guard.

The dark guards were all on the city tower with Wei Xi, several of them gathered together, I don't know what they were discussing, looking at Wei Xi's appearance, it seemed that he knew them, Nankong Qian walked over slowly, and as soon as they saw Nankong Qian coming, they immediately bowed their heads and saluted, "I've seen the city lord!"

"What are you doing here?" Nankong asked curiously, and Wei Xi immediately replied, "Returning to the city lord, because the cultivation of the disciples of the Annihilation Palace is not low, if they lurk in Jiangling City, I am afraid it will not be easy to find out, so my subordinates will discuss with the generals of the Dark Guard to see if there is any good way to lure them out." ”

Nankong Qian bowed slightly when he heard this, and then he turned his gaze to the five generals: "By the way, I have been bothering the five generals for so long, and I don't know what the generals are called?"

Mu Lian was the first to speak: "My subordinate Mu Lian is the commander of the Dark Guard. ”

"Subordinate Liu Yanfei, meet the city lord. ”

"Subordinate Jiang Feng, meet the city lord. ”

"Subordinate Ling and Ruo, meet the city lord. ”

"Subordinate Xiao Tianying, meet the city lord. ”

Mu Lian, Liu Yanfei, Jiang Feng, Ling Youruo, Xiao Tianying. Nankong Qian silently read their names in his heart, and then turned to face a great mountain scenery outside Gangneung City, "The five generals must have been sealed in the city order for a long time, right?"

"When the old city lord was young, we were already the secret guards of Gangneung City, and we don't remember how long we stayed in the city order. Mu Lian was the first to speak.

"Then you should be familiar with the city order and the Dark Guard, right?" Nankong turned his head to look at them and asked, Mu Lian was puzzled, "What does the city lord mean by this?"

"Now that my father has passed away, I will succeed to the position of city lord in Jiangling City, I remember my father said that when he succeeds to the position of city lord, the city order will appear, and then the entire Jiangling City will float down quicksand, and the Dark Guard will witness me succeeding to the position of city lord, right?" Nankong Qian turned to look at him and asked, Mu Lian nodded suddenly, "That's right." ”

"Then what should I do?" Before Mu Lian's words landed, Nan Kongqian couldn't wait to ask, Mu Lian suddenly looked dazed, "What?"

"What can I do to make the city order appear in its original form, and then succeed to the position of city lord under the witness of the Dark Guard?" Nankong looked at him and repeated it again, Mu Lian immediately replied, "As long as the spell is cast to urge the city order, the city lord is the successor in order, and now that the old city lord has passed away, it is natural to succeed to the position of the city lord." ”

"Is it okay to cast a spell on the city order?" Nankong Qian was a little unsure, and Mu Lian nodded affirmatively, "Yes!" Nankong Qian gradually lowered his eyes when he heard this, as if he was thinking for a while, then nodded, said he knew, and then turned around and walked into the cabinet on the city tower.

And Mu Lian looked at the figure in the shallow distance of the southern sky, and his brows gradually swelled with a trace of puzzlement, and Xiao Tianying asked directly, "Doesn't the city lord have the Dusheng mirror in his hand, is there anything he doesn't know, and he has to ask us in person?"

Mu Lian suddenly glanced at him, "Don't talk nonsense, the reason why the old city lord passed away was because of the Dusheng Mirror, I think, the city lord may just not want to see things and think about people." Xiao Tianying nodded suddenly and didn't speak again.

"Now I don't know when the city lord will urge the city commander to succeed to the position of city lord, if you can summon all the dark guards to protect Jiangling City, then you are not afraid of the people who destroyed the palace to offend again. ”

Just when everyone was silent, Wei Xi suddenly opened his mouth to say something, causing everyone to turn their heads to him, I have to say that the Dark Guards are higher than the Guards, and the five generals of the Dark Guards are Wei Xi's predecessors!

Especially Mu Lian, he is Wei Xi's master, he grew up watching him grow up, but after he was sealed in the city order, the two never met again, this time the meeting was also hasty, and there was no time to reminisce properly, as soon as Wei Xi finished speaking, everyone turned their eyes to him, which made him suddenly stunned in his heart, "What, what's wrong?"

He was a little at a loss, and Mu Lian just shook his head lightly, "It's nothing, I just think what you said makes sense, although the current situation in Jiangling City is within the scope of the guards, but once the people from the Hegong Palace come, I'm afraid they will have more than enough heart and not enough strength, so let's go and open this mouth with the city lord, see what he thinks, if the city lord needs our dark guards, then we must go to the soup and die!"

"Good. Wei Xi nodded in agreement, and then said goodbye to them, and Mu Lian also asked everyone not to get together after he left, and took people to Jiangling City to see if there were any disciples from the Annihilation Palace, and the rest of the people also left after receiving the order.

Nankong Qian stayed alone in the room, he took off the jade bracelet in his hand, his eyes wandered back and forth between the jade bracelet and the ground, hesitating, he wanted to impatiently cast a spell to urge the jade bracelet to succeed to the position of the city lord, but he was worried that the quicksand floating in the sky would attract the attention of the Annihilation Palace......

Their purpose is the Dusheng Mirror in their minds, if they take over the position of city lord now and let the city order show its original form, if they find out, the entire Gangneung City will be in danger...... No!

Nankong lowered his head and clenched the jade bracelet hard, he still can't be in a hurry to succeed the city lord, at the moment, he not only has to protect the people of the entire Jiangling City and the Nan family's Dusheng Mirror, but more importantly, this jade bracelet in his hand, no matter what, he can't let the secret of this jade bracelet be discovered by the people of the Annihilation Palace!

But thinking of this, Nankong Qian had to plan for the worst, and now this jade bracelet is on his hand, in case ...... If they really control themselves and control the Dusheng Mirror in their minds, then this jade bracelet will definitely fall into their hands at the same time...... I had to find a way to give this jade bracelet to someone reliable for safekeeping.

Nan Kongqian thought about it carefully, and felt that it was best to hand over this thing to the Dark Guard for safekeeping, after all, they were the only ones in Jiangling City who knew the city order and had the ability to protect the city order!

After Nankong Qian made up his mind, he put the jade bracelet on his hand, planning to find an opportunity to tell Mu Lian about it, but later, Wei Xi suddenly asked to see him, and told him that he wanted to summon all the dark guards to protect Jiangling City, Nankong Qian thought about it, and asked, "Are there still footprints of disciples of the Annihilation Palace in Jiangling City?"

Wei Xi shook his head, "The subordinates have already brought people to conduct a comprehensive investigation, and it is basically certain that there are no disciples of the Annihilation Palace in the city, but the people of the Annihilation Palace are cunning, Wei Xi does not dare to slack off, and plans to send people to search in the city again and investigate them one by one." ”

Nankong nodded lightly, and then said: "When I controlled the people in Jiangling City, I only found three people from the Annihilation Palace, but immediately, their people quickly rushed to Jiangling City in a short period of time, I think, if I wasn't in Dongchen and had a place to live outside my Jiangling City, it would be impossible to catch up so fast if I flew with the sword and the magic light came, right?"
