Chapter 70: Linjiang City
"Sister Xiexie." Yan took the pill, but was surprised to find that the pill was flowing with light, and the pill showed a faint colorful light, and he knew that it was a mortal product at a glance, so he did not hesitate to stuff the pill into his son's mouth.
After a while, Yan Tao woke up slowly, and when he saw Yan covered in blood in front of him, tears immediately flowed out, and he cried bitterly: "Dad, why can't you..."
Yan Tao's words were only half, and he didn't go down.
Yan looked at his son and scolded: "Fool, what are you crying about, we are not dead yet!" ”
"Ahh It's true? Yan Tao looked surprised, he thought that he was going to die, but now he actually knew that he was not dead, this mood of ups and downs was really uncomfortable!
"Tao'er, it was Sister Leng who saved us." Yan was a little embarrassed and said, if he hadn't cared about the feelings of his clan, this kind of thing would not have happened in his City Lord's Mansion, at this moment, there was only one word of regret to express his feelings.
"Sister Xiexie's life-saving grace." Yan Tao said with a grateful face.
"Sister Leng, on behalf of the Yan clan, I would like to recognize you as the master." Yan said again.
"Can City Lord Yan represent the entire clan?" Leng Ruoxue asked with a faint smile.
"Yannan City has countless casualties, and now they have no leader, it is the best time to accept them, and I am the head of the Yan family, after the death of the head of the family, I am the natural head of the family, so I can decide." Yan said confidently, the Yan family and his generation, he and the head of the family have the highest prestige, and now, the head of the family is dead, and the people who can oppose him have also gone with the head of the family, so who can stop him?
"In that case, then your father and son will follow Feng Da to subdue the Yan family in Yannan City! Those who go along prosper, those who go against die, don't let me down. Leng Ruoxue said lightly.
"Sister, don't worry, Yan knows what to do." Yan assured.
After a while, the father and son of the Yan family went to Yannan City with Feng Da and the others, while Leng Ruoxue and the others returned to the inn.
In the inn.
"Xue'er, can this father and son be trusted?" Leng Qingtian asked with some anxiety, this incident of the Yan family was purely caused by Yan, so he did not sympathize with Yan.
"Grandpa, don't worry! He is now dead to the Yan family in Yannan City, and I saved his precious son again, so he naturally has to behave well this time. Leng Ruoxue said.
"I hope so, but if he dares to play tricks, I will definitely not let him go." Leng Qingtian snorted.
"Huh! Grandpa, don't he don't have that guts, even if he has, I'm not afraid. Leng Ruoxue said confidently.
"That's good." Leng Qingtian is still very relieved about his granddaughter.
Three days later, Feng Da and Yan father and son finished dealing with the affairs of Yannan City and returned to Yanbei City.
In the living room, Feng Da was reporting to Leng Ruoxue about his trip to Yannan City, while Yan and his son were standing beside him, and after Feng Da finished reporting, the father and son knelt down together, and swore with their blood that they would always be loyal to Leng Ruoxue and never betray!
After the end of the contract rules, the Yan family officially became Leng Ruoxue's subordinates, and the two cities of Yanbei and Yannan were united, and the city lord was naturally served by Yan, but except for their own people and some of the subordinates of the Ning family master, no one knew that Yan and the others already belonged to Leng Ruoxue.
And their next Jihua is naturally to subdue the three cities of Stygian Wind, Fuliu and Linjiang.
"Sister, I am close friends with the city lord of Stygian City, and I also have business dealings with Fuliu City, so let's let my subordinates try these two cities!" After Yan knew the next Jihua, he hurriedly said.
"Okay, then these two cities will be handed over to you." Leng Ruoxue said, she knew that Yan was in a hurry to perform, so she was also happy to give him a chance.
"Please wait for good news." After finishing Yan, he turned around and left.
Half a month later.
Yan brought back two people, these two people were none other than the city lords of Styx Wind and Fuliu City.
The first thing Yan did when he returned to Yanbei City was to take them to the inn to see Leng Ruoxue.
In the living room of the inn.
The two sat on the chair together with Yan, looking at Leng Ruoxue with some restlessness, and they were nervous and speechless, and Yan was also deeply touched when he saw this scene, because he was also very nervous when he saw Leng Ruoxue for the first time.
"My conditions have been with you, right? Submit to me, and you will manage the wind and the willows for me, and become my subordinates, and I will not treat you badly. Leng Ruoxue spoke first.
"Sister Leng, City Lord Yan has already passed with us, and we are willing to recognize you as the master after discussion, but our family now has an enemy, and he is also eyeing Stygian City, so at this time, I am afraid that recognizing the Lord will bring trouble to Sister Leng." The city lord of Stygian City, Qi Mu said with a look of embarrassment, in fact, he really wanted this Leng sister to help him destroy the enemy, but he couldn't open his mouth! Moreover, he was afraid that this sister who had fallen into the country and the city was not his enemy's opponent.
In fact, he didn't know Leng Ruoxue's true strength, and Yan didn't know anything about him, but just told him that Sister Leng's strength was very strong, and it was impossible to think that she was wrong, and he was in a situation of internal and external difficulties at this time, there were tigers and wolves outside, and the clansmen were panicked, so it was helpless for him to agree to recognize the master.
"Huh? What's going on? Leng Ruoxue asked calmly, her beautiful eyes looked at Qi Curtain, this city lord of Stygian Wind City, who looked only in his forties, had a loyal face, but he was an upright person.
"Alas! In fact, we have a feud with the enemy, all because of a herb, a few days ago, my family went to the 'Nightmare Forest' to experience the team accidentally found a natural treasure, I don't know how, the news actually reached the ears of the other party, the other party wants to force the purchase, I naturally refuse, therefore, the two sides of the stalemate, and in recent days, our Qi family people have always been casualties for no reason, which can't help but make me suspicious, after investigation, I learned that this matter was done by the enemy. Qi Mu said angrily.
"The family where the enemy is located is very shili on the Continent of God, and my Qi family is just a family, so naturally it is not their opponent." Qi Mu added, and he agreed to recognize the Lord just to find a shelter, but after seeing Leng Ruoxue, he hesitated a little, such a delicate sister, can she keep their Qi family? He didn't want to be affected by the Qi family's unwarranted disaster.
"Is your enemy a member of the Eight Great Divine Domains?" Leng Ruoxue asked with a chuckle.
"It's not." Qi Mu listened to Leng Ruoxue's words, his forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he said in his heart, if the other party was a person from the Eight Great Divine Domains, he would be unwilling in his heart, and he would have to offer that heavenly and earthly treasure with both hands.
"Then what's there to be afraid of." Leng Ruoxue said disappreciably, in fact, even if the other party was a person from the Eight Great Divine Domains, she was not afraid.
"Ugh!" Qi Mu is confused, is he worrying about the sky?
"Qi Mu, since you are willing to recognize me as the master, then your enemy is naturally also mine, and I will take care of it for you." Leng Ruoxue said with a smile.
"Sister Xiexie, I, Qi Mu, would like to recognize you as the master on behalf of the Qi family." Qi Mu hurriedly said when he heard this, and then, he sent a bloodline contract to show his loyalty, and after recognizing the master, the big stone in his heart was also considered to have fallen to the ground, since his sister would take care of the enemy for him, then he had nothing to worry about.
After finishing the curtain, Leng Ruoxue's beautiful eyes turned to the Fuliu City Lord again, and asked with a light smile, "What is the difficulty of the Liu City Lord?" Might as well. ”
"There is nothing difficult for the subordinates." Liu Yong, the lord of Fuliu City, hurriedly said and pretended to be his subordinates.
Their Liu family is in gradual decline, so he wants to find a backer, and it just so happens that Leng Ruoxue sent Yan to negotiate with him, he and Yan have known each other for many years, and the two are in a cooperative relationship, so he naturally believes in Yan's vision, so after discussing with the clansmen, he also decided to recognize Leng Ruoxue as the master.
Immediately, Liu Yong also issued a bloodline contract, officially recognizing Leng Ruoxue as the master.
After subduing two more cities, Leng Ruoxue's target was only one Linjiang City.
However, Leng Ruoxue was not in a hurry to subdue Linjiang City, but decided to strengthen the defense of the four cities that had been subdued, so she decided to add a large defensive array to each of the four cities, and the City Lord's Mansion was the center of the defensive array, doubling the defensive capacity.
It took nearly a month for Leng Ruoxue to set up defensive formations in the four cities, and everyone went to the city around the 'Nightmare Forest' that had not been subdued, Linjiang City.
Located to the north of the 'Nightmare Forest', Linjiang City can be the largest of the five cities, but it is not the most prosperous of the five.
The security in Linjiang City is very poor, there are dragons and snakes inside, Leng Ruoxue and others walk on the street, and they see fights and brawls from time to time.
"Sister, this city lord of Linjiang City is mediocre and incompetent, and he is really not a person worthy of subduation." Yan Dao, who accompanied Leng Ruoxue and others to Linjiang City.
"Oh! Let's take a look! Leng Ruoxue said calmly, if the city lord of Linjiang City really said what Xiang Yan said, then she would naturally choose another city lord.
Everyone immediately looked for an inn, but as soon as they asked the price, everyone was stunned.
"How much money do you have a night?" Fonda asked in disbelief with a glare.
"You need a high-grade spar for one night." The innkeeper looked at Feng Dadao with white eyes, and he secretly thought to himself in his heart, hum! Looking at the way these people are dressed, it is clear that they are poor ghosts, so naturally he has no intention of hode.
"Why is it so expensive, is there anything unusual about your inn?" Feng Da looked at the furnishings in the inn and found that it was quite ordinary, but the price was so high that it was scary.
"No, if you want to live, pay quickly, if you don't live, please leave, don't delay my business, now there are so many people in Linjiang City, my inn room is not worried about no one living at all." The innkeeper said confidently.
"There will be so many people in Linjiang City?" Leng Ruohan couldn't help but ask, just now on the street, Yan seemed to have more people in Linjiang City than usual, as for weishenme, he didn't know, and now that the innkeeper was like this, he naturally wanted to ask clearly.
"Don't tell me, you're not here to choose a son-in-law for the city lord's daughter." The innkeeper asked with a look of disbelief.
"We're not! We just arrived in Linjiang City today. Leng Ruohan told the truth, he couldn't figure it out, Linjiang City was not very big, the city lord's daughter wanted to find a husband, could he use so many people?
"Then you're right, our city is going to find a son-in-law for his daughter, you go and sign up! It's been a day for Zuihou today. The shopkeeper reminded.
"Why should we sign up?" Fonda was puzzled.
"Whoever marries the daughter of the city lord will be the next city lord of Linjiang City, such a good thing is pie in the sky! I couldn't ask for it, and if it wasn't for the fact that I didn't meet the conditions, I would have signed up a long time ago. The shopkeeper said with a regretful face.
"Ugh!" Feng Da was speechless, deeply embarrassed by the shopkeeper's thoughts, he couldn't understand, just a city lord's daughter, as for so many men to flock to it? Could it be that today's men have degenerated to the point where they need to rely on women to achieve fame? You know, he is the man who looks down on soft rice the most!
"Do you want to stay in the hotel? Don't delay my business. The shopkeeper couldn't help but ask again.
"Of course you want to live, let's open a room for us!" Leng Ruoxue said loudly.
"Great!" Hearing Leng Ruoxue's words, the shopkeeper immediately smiled, and the speed at which he changed his face made Feng Da and the others despise it.
After entering the room, Leng Ruoxue glanced at Feng Da and the others, and couldn't help but quip: "If any of you want to be the son-in-law of Linjiang City, go and sign up!" It's been a day for Zuihou today. ”
"Ugh! Sister, don't be kidding, we won't sign up! Lin Yuan said with a bitter face, don't you still know whether the daughter of Linjiang City is round or flat, even if the other party is a stunning beauty, they don't want to be a soft eater!
"Hehe, you can do it yourself! I'm going to rest. When Leng Ruoxue finished, he pulled the demon into the room.
And Feng Da and the others had nothing to do, so they took Yan as a guide and went to the street for a stroll.
It was not until evening that they returned from the street.
After seeing Leng Ruoxue, Feng Da and the others couldn't wait to tell her what they saw and heard on the street.
"Sister, we went to the City Lord's Mansion today..."Feng Da was interrupted by Leng Ruoxue before he finished.
"Go sign up?" Leng Ruoxue asked with a wicked smile.
"Ugh! Of course not, we went to see the excitement, and the people who signed up in front of the city lord's mansion lined up for almost two streets, hmm! I really didn't see that the daughter of the city lord of Linjiang City was quite attractive. Feng Da was speechless.
"Those people didn't go for the city lord's daughter, so they didn't care what the city lord's daughter looked like." Leng Ruoxue said.
"Sister, the city lord of Linjiang City is named Jiang Fan, he is a greedy and womanizer, although he has many wives and concubines, but he only has such a daughter under his knees, so his subordinates really can't understand that with the long life span of our cultivators, there is no need for him to rush to find a son-in-law for his only daughter!" Yan said with a puzzled face.
"Don't understand, this matter has nothing to do with us, our goal is this Linjiang City, so as long as we find a way to collect this Linjiang City, it's good." Leng Ruoxue said disapprerovingly.
"Sister, it's better to grab it directly!" Lin Yuan proposed.
"Then we're not robbers?" Leng Ruoxue asked rhetorically.
"Ugh!" Lin Yuan was speechless, and said in his heart, does Sister Fei still expect the city lord of Linjiang City to take the initiative to hand over Linjiang City?
"Hehe, don't rush yet, I'll observe for a few days." Leng Ruoxue was very calm, and then, she instructed Yan: "Yan, tomorrow you go to the City Lord's Mansion to meet that Jiang Fan and find out what his purpose is!" ”
"Yes." Yan Yingdao.
Next.
Yan took Feng Da to the City Lord's Mansion in person.
With his identity as the city lord of Yanbei City, the housekeeper of the Jiang family invited him into the city lord's mansion very respectfully, and after sitting in the living room for a while, Jiang Fan appeared.
"Huh! When the city lord of Yan came to visit, he missed the welcome, and he hoped to forgive his sins! Jiang Fan said very politely.
This Jiang Fan looks about fifty years old, with a slightly chubby figure, very ordinary facial features, and a little weak footsteps, which is caused by his perennial addiction to beauty.
"City Lord Jiang is too polite, in fact, I am also passing by here, so I came to see City Lord Jiang." Yan Dao, in fact, he and this Jiang Fan are just nodding friends, which is a bit far-fetched.
"Oh." Jiang Fan nodded, not thinking much about it.
"City Lord Jiang, after I enter the city, I heard that you want to choose a son-in-law for your daughter? He also promised to take the position of city lord as a dowry? Yan asked curiously.
"Yes! If the woman is not staying, I should also find a husband for her, and I can't sit in the position of the city lord for a lifetime, I have to find someone to inherit. Jiang Fan said as a matter of course, and his words were reasonable, so that people couldn't find anything wrong.
"Why didn't the city lord pass on the position of the city lord to his daughter? In this way, isn't Linjiang City still the Jiang family? Yan proposed, and at the same time, it was also a temptation.
"Even if it is passed on to my son-in-law, Linjiang City is also my Jiang family, and I will not let Linjiang City fall into the hands of outsiders." Jiang Fan said very confidently.
"City Lord Jiang, don't blame me for being troublesome, I always feel that even if a man is rich, he may not be of the same mind as Sister Jiang, so it is really unsafe to pass on the position of city lord to his son-in-law, in case that person has other thoughts, wouldn't City Lord Jiang raise a white-eyed wolf." Yan said worriedly, and did not forget to observe Jiang Fan's reaction.
Seeing that Jiang Fan only frowned slightly, the doubts in his heart deepened.
"Huh! I've also thought about City Lord Yan's considerations, but my daughter is really not a city lord, and I'm helpless! Jiang Fan said with a depressed face.
"Then the Jiang City Lord has to keep his eyes open, so that he can be picky." Yan reminded.
"Don't worry, Lord Yan, I still have the eye to know people." Jiang Fan nodded cautiously.
Then, the two exchanged pleasantries, and Yan took Feng Da to say goodbye.
On the way back to the inn, Yan glanced at Feng Da and couldn't help asking, "What do you think?" ”
"Isn't it the day when the City Lord's Mansion officially elects a son-in-law after three days? I'll find out when the time comes. Feng Da said with a smile, he didn't care who was the son-in-law of the Jiang family, but it didn't hurt to have a lively look.
Three days passed quickly.
When it came to the day of choosing a son-in-law in the City Lord's Mansion, Leng Ruoxue and the others came to the scene of choosing a son-in-law early.
Since the selection of the son-in-law of the City Lord's Mansion was public, Jiang Fan specially ordered people to set up a platform in the most lively city center, and also sent a post to the famous people in Linjiang City, asking them to be judges, and Yan, as the city lord of Yanbei City, was naturally invited.
As a judge, Yan naturally needs to sit on the judge's seat, and Leng Ruoxue and others, as Yan's companions, naturally also obtained a more haode position.
According to the thousands of men who signed up this time, after the preliminary screening of the City Lord's Mansion, only the best two hundred remained, and the son-in-law of the Linjiang City Lord will also be produced among these two hundred.
The selection of sons-in-law is divided into three days, the first day of the process is mainly to introduce themselves, and show their best talents, zuihou by the judges to select the 100 men who can participate in the second day of the selection.
After the two hundred men had finished introducing themselves, Green Peach quietly asked, "Sister, which of them will win?" ”
"I don't know." Leng Ruoxue was not very interested, I really didn't expect that Jiang Fan would use the beauty pageant process to choose a son-in-law for his daughter, it seems that he attaches great importance to choosing a son-in-law this time.
"Hey, hey! I'm quite optimistic about that number three. Midori said with a smile.
"Because you're handsome?" Leng Ruoxue knew that No. 3 had a handsome face, and at first glance it was indeed easy for a woman to be attracted to his appearance, but it was a restless man, so Leng Ruoxue didn't have a good impression of No. 3.
"Yes! It's pleasing to the eye when you're handsome! "Green Peach is not afraid of death.
"What's the use of being handsome, it's not a white face." When Feng Da heard Green Peach's words, he said with jealousy, uh... He knew that Green Peach was deliberately angry with himself, just because he was very curious about the appearance of the city lord's daughter.
"It's useless, just look at the mood." Green Peach said angrily.
"Green Peach..."Feng Da looked at Green Peach pitifully, and he looked as aggrieved as he was.
"Sister, today's selection is over, let's go back!" Green Peach ignored Feng Da's pretending to be pitiful and directly confronted Leng Ruoxue.
"Hmm." Leng Ruoxue smiled and nodded, and then everyone went back to the inn together.
The next day's son-in-law, Leng Ruoxue and the others didn't go to see the excitement, after all, they had all seen those candidates, and they weren't very interested in who won.
One day after arriving in Zuihou, Leng Ruoxue and others set off from the inn and went to the selection site.
After two days, there are only twenty candidates, and these twenty people can also be regarded as one in a million elites, both in appearance and cultivation, they are the most haode among those who have signed up.
After two rounds of display, only ten people remained, and Green Peach looked at Haode No. 3, so naturally he was among them.
Immediately afterwards, the host of this selection invited out the daughter of the city lord.
It turns out that the ten people of zuihou, as the best candidates, have to pass the zuihou level, which is to gain the favor of the city lord's daughter, and if it is white, it is decided by the city lord's daughter, who has a crush on it, who is the future city lord of Linjiang City.
Lu Tao and the others sitting in the audience stretched their necks to see the true face of the city lord's daughter, but after waiting for a long time, they didn't see any women on stage.
"Sister, the shelf of this city lord's daughter is so big!" Green Peach said with a dissatisfied face.
"Hehe, girl! Be reserved, of course. Leng Ruoxue said with a wicked smile.
As soon as her words fell, she heard someone in the audience shouting that the daughter of the city lord was coming, and suddenly, everyone's eyes were attracted.
After a while, everyone saw a moving circular sphere rolling onto the high platform, and she used it to roll because the city lord's daughter fell unintentionally when she first stepped into the ring, and her figure was a little fat, so she rolled directly to the feet of the candidate man, and everyone couldn't help but laugh in their hearts when they saw this scene.
"Ugh! The appearance of the daughter of the city lord is quite special. "Green Peach is speechless, no wonder the city lord of Linjiang City is in a hurry to choose a son-in-law for his daughter, and he also takes this Linjiang City as a dowry, if there is no Linjiang City, this city lord's daughter wants to marry, I'm afraid it's not easy!
When the daughter of the city lord got up from the ground, everyone saw her appearance clearly, and suddenly, everyone present couldn't help but retch...
Nima, is this still human? Even if she was fat, she still looked so ugly, and what was even more unbearable was that she stared at the ten men on the stage with a confused face, drooling.
When the ten men saw the dignity of the city lord's daughter, four of them immediately said that they wanted to abstain and withdraw from the competition, and in the blink of an eye, there were only six candidates left on the stage, and they had been hesitating.
Although the daughter of the city lord saw that the four beautiful men had left at once, although she was a little disappointed, as long as she thought that she still had six to choose from, she immediately became excited.
However, before she could rejoice, three more hesitant men announced their abstention.
The daughter of the city lord looked at the only three men left on the stage, and without hesitation, she stretched out her hand and chose her future husband, and the person she chose was the third man who looked at the green peach more haode.
Seeing this, the other two seemed to be relieved, and happily walked off the stage, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that they themselves were from this Linjiang City, they would also want to abstain, but as long as they thought of the authority of the city lord, they had to stand on the stage for the city lord's daughter to choose.
Seeing that his daughter had been chosen, Jiang Fan happily walked onto the stage, and announced the identity of the future city lord of the third man in public, and then decided to hold a banquet in the city lord's mansion, ready to celebrate, and invited the people of the whole city to participate, but Leng Ruoxue and the others were not interested in this, so they went back to the inn directly.
The next morning.
Leng Ruoxue and the others went to the restaurant for breakfast, and as soon as they walked into the restaurant, they heard a guest whispering, although the sound was very loud, but it still came into their ears.
"What were you guys just now?" Leng Ruoxue asked pretending to be puzzled.
Faced with the question of such a stunning beauty, the two men who were talking immediately said earnestly: "Sister doesn't know yet!" Yesterday there was an accident in the City Lord's Mansion, and many people died. ”
The person who spoke had a look of embarrassment and regret, and at the same time a hint of happiness on his face.
"Wasn't yesterday a good day for the city lord's daughter to choose a son-in-law?" Leng Ruoxue asked tentatively.
"Yes! It was supposed to be a happy event, but Zuihou turned into a funeral, alas! It's really pitiful, none of the people who went to the City Lord's Mansion for a banquet yesterday were spared, and the City Lord's family was even dead. The man said.
