Chapter 2 Jingyang Town Section 75 City Lord's Mansion
The convoy of the ancient clan slipped into the small alley, and there were bursts of noise in Langyu's car.
At this time, in a majestic and quaint building in the center of the city, it was a different scene, through the carved window lattice, only a few gray rays of light scattered on the hall, this is a very majestic hall. There is a set of seats on the stone steps of the moon-white, and on the middle hall of a two-zhang high after a few is a huge ancient painting, in the painting, on the rock where the ice and snow drift, there is a lion-faced eagle with sharp claws like a golden hook. The eyes stared at the front of the hall, depicted vividly, as if they were going to choose people to devour aggressively in the next moment.
At this time, a middle-aged man in a green robe and a gold belt stood in front of the seat, with his back to the outside of the hall, as if staring at the painting, or closing his eyes and thinking deeply, but the four people behind him had no way to guess. If Lang Yu is here among these four people, at least one of them is not a stranger to him. It was the eagle-nosed old man he had seen in the ancient clan comparison, and he had no end to it. And he was among all the people who were at the gate of the city. The four people in the hall are the four leaders of Jingyang City, and the people a few years ago are naturally the city lord Xu Zhengqing.
"Lord of the City, Lan Long will never be mistaken, although some people call me Lan Deaf, but I am not blind. The one in the spirit plate of the four gates, which is indeed the south gate, has reacted, and the subordinates can guarantee their lives. An old man with a beard stepped forward and hugged his fists. Along the way, Xu Zhengqing's face was cold, although several commanders were all existences in the same realm as him, but when they thought of the ruthless methods of the city lord, they all trembled in their hearts. In particular, the bearded old man was ordered to monitor the movements of the four checkpoints. A farce outside the city gate just now was directed by him, and the divine consciousness of the Venerable who appeared at the intersection of the ancient clan was reported to Xu Zhengqing by him, and it was rare for a Venerable to visit such a small city for a few years or even decades, so that the city lord was caught off guard for a while, and immediately went out of the customs and hurriedly arranged.
Speaking of which, the reason why this news made him not notice for a while was also related to that Zuo Wuya. It was the information of the Venerable that he brought back from the ancient clan that made Xu Zhengqing not have the slightest doubt that the Venerable Elder would come with him, so that an oolong incident was inevitable. Is it so fun to play with the city lord? Lan Long can't do without an explanation.
The back didn't react at all, as if it hadn't heard it at all.
Zuo Wuya's eyes were closed, it seemed that his eyes were closed, and who knew if it was really closed.
Another middle-aged man with hair behind Lan Long, his eyes rolled to the sides, and he also stepped forward and clenched his fists and said, "My lord, although Commander Lan is occasionally greedy for the contents of the cup, he will never dare to deceive the adults in this regard. The subordinates still thought that the Venerable Senior was most likely in the car, but they just didn't want to come out to see him. ”
"My lord, I also believe that the Second Commander will not be mistaken, the spirit disk has been controlled by him for three or four years, and he can sense it even if he is not around. But that ancient clan, do you really think that there is an elder of the Venerable who can not take the adult in his eyes? The middle-aged man on the very edge, who had a long scar on his chin, added later. It has the meaning of exculpating Nalan Long.
"Venerable, hum, hum!" Xu Zhengqing finally spoke coldly, he already knew the meaning of the words of the three people. "Commander Lan!"
"The subordinates are here!" Lan Long hurriedly bent down to salute.
"It's not that this city doesn't believe you, otherwise I wouldn't have gone out of the city in person, but the reaction of the spirit disk is indeed not necessarily the elder of the ancient clan, so today's matter, this city should punish you well. A calm tone came out of Xu Zhengqing's mouth, but it was cold and unusually cold in Lan Long's ears.
This ——, the subordinates did not notice it. The subordinate admits his mistake. Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down Lan Long's forehead.
Quiet, dead silence for more than a dozen breaths, Xu Zhengqing did not follow. As the lord of a city, he made such a farce, and everyone knew in their hearts that he wanted to find someone to vent to. At present, he can't find a reason from the side of the ancient clan, and Lan Long is naturally going to be unlucky.
With a "swish", a knife light flashed, Lan Long gritted his teeth, he knew that he couldn't get out of this house without bleeding today, and he couldn't say that he would put an arm here. What awaits you in the future is self-evident. "Poof" as soon as the knife fell, half of the arm fell to the ground, it is useless to hesitate and beg for mercy in front of this Xu City Lord, it is not difficult to choose between life and broken arms.
Zuo Wuya raised his eyes slightly, and the other two couldn't help but tremble at the corners of their eyes when they saw this scene. But none of them spoke again.
Lan Long hurriedly counted on his left shoulder with a pale face, barely stopping the spurting column of blood. He may be able to escape this disaster by himself, but the family and family behind him can't escape. So he had no choice.
Xu Zhengqing still didn't turn around, and with a wave of his left sleeve, a fiery red jade bottle was thrown out. Lan Long was stunned for a moment, and quickly reached out and hugged his chest.
"You have been with me for more than ten years, these are three blood pills, count it as a little bit of my heart. In addition, go to the treasury and withdraw 3,000 gold stones, and you can go back. ”
"Yes, thank you Lord for your forgiveness. He put away the jade bottle casually. Lan Long bowed to the back, picked up his broken arm and retreated. A warrior with a broken arm, no accidents, is basically crippled.
"Left Commander. After a while, Xu Zhengqing calmly said three words, and the cold aura was obviously much lighter.
"The subordinates are here. ”
"Lin Maochuan should also be here, right? Chengxi Wei is temporarily called by you, so let him follow you first. You should know the responsibilities, I don't need to say more. ”
"My subordinates understand, please rest assured, Lord Castle, I will ......"
"It's best for you to understand," without waiting for Zuo Wuya to continue, the words were intercepted, "The fourth prince entered the city today, hmph, those tests are just at the right time, this year the city will not participate, let the left commander preside over it." In addition, the two of you each set aside two guards to strengthen the defense of the city, and focus on cooperating with the four princes' subordinates. ”
"Yes, sir. The two bowed.
"Okay, let's go down, I still have something to tell Commander Zuo. Xu Zhengqing waved his hand back, and the two retreated with relief.
Feeling the two doors gently close, Xu Zhengqing wiped the purple red ring on the middle finger of his right hand, and a bronze palm large disc appeared in his hand. His right arm shook, and a trace of Xuan Qi was injected into it. I saw a burst of orange light flickering with the strange symbols engraved on the plate, and scattered in all directions with a "poof". In Zuo Wuya's shock, he suddenly felt an absolute silence in his ears. Although it was quite quiet just now, now I didn't even hear the sound of wind and insects.
"Superior Treasure!" this is the cry that appeared in Zuo Wuya's heart in an instant.
Xu Zhengqing turned around silently. "Commander Zuo doesn't need to be surprised, this is just a shield that I borrowed the power of the treasure weapon to stimulate, and the function is needless to say. I don't want a third person to know about what I'm going to say next. ”
"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates understand. Of course, regardless of whether there is really a Venerable in the city or not, it is better to be careful. "Although this treasure only has such a simple function, it is a signature method that only the Venerable of the Eight Books of Serious Books. It really made Zuo Wuya's eyes open, the threat in the words of the city lord, how could he not hear it when he was old and sophisticated. At that moment, he hurriedly assured and complimented.
"I'd like to hear what you think about the Gu Clan?"
"Your Excellency, the matter that your Excellency handed over to your subordinates last time, your subordinates have not yet investigated it clearly, so they have not reported it to your Excellency," said this, but Zuo Wuya was not panicked. At that time, it was said that it would take a year, and it was only two or three months.
Seeing that Xu Zhengqing did not mean to ask. Zuo Wuya continued: "The news I got from the secret investigation of my subordinates in the past few months is that the two elders of the Gu clan came here four years ago during the Gu Clan's Tiger Skin Eagle incident, and at that time it was just rumored that a passing pharmacist had saved the Gu clan, but I didn't expect them to hide it very tightly over the years. According to the insider's inquiry, except for the competition, no one has ever seen the two of them shoot. But his subordinates are sure that Elder Nagan is definitely a venerable figure, and it is difficult to say what level it is. The pharmacist's subordinates didn't see what kind of cultivation it was, and there were no obvious fluctuations in her body, so the subordinates didn't dare to speculate. Because the adults don't let the grass startle the snake, so there is no in-depth investigation, but the information that can be obtained is too little, and in recent days, his subordinates are contacting some old friends from the past to find out the information of the principality's army. I always feel that in recent years, the techniques of the junior disciples in the ancient clan in the competition have the shadow of the martial arts in the army. Maybe this had something to do with Gu Yunfeng, but his subordinates also doubted that the arrival of these two elders would also be related to Gu Yunfeng. ”
Xu Zhengqing thought about it and nodded, "You did a good job, and this city doesn't mean to blame." But this city just wonders how these two people could have come so coincidentally, if it weren't for the last time I didn't intend to let you go to the ancient clan, I almost lost another loss. But this time, I'm just going to scare the snake. ”
"What, ...... adults?" Zuo Wuya's surprise is not trivial, even if he has always been ruthless and calm, but with his ten guts, he will not dare to pull out his hand, the city lord is cautious, he is 100% cannon fodder.
The corners of Zuo Wuya's mouth twitched for a long time, and he swallowed the second half of the sentence. "It seems that your Excellency is sure that the Venerable has really arrived in Netheryang City?"
"Hmph!" Xu Zhengqing sneered twice. "You and Lanlong didn't bother to ask about that little festival. But the reason I let him go was because he wasn't lying. - He didn't dare!" Just this sentence, Zuo Wuya was immediately so frightened that he trembled, and his back was sweating.
Xu Zhengqing glanced at him, and said casually: "But his biggest weakness is that he can't seal his mouth, so it's not available." This time, there are four sons in front, and we just need to ......" The voice below was lowered
"-In addition, that Lin Maochuan is not from my City Lord's Mansion now, so he is just using him...... Last time you mentioned those two little guys...... It's to force him out,...... Naturally, you won't lose your ....... ”
Even though they were protected by a screen, the voices of the two of them were getting smaller and smaller, and the expressions on Zuo Wuya's face were constantly changing. But I had to keep agreeing. He didn't have a choice, he was now halfway through the tightrope. Where can we go from here? At this time, he was a little envious of Lan Long, who had just ended patheticly, and it was really worth exchanging an arm for a life.
