Chapter 227: The City Lord Arrives
After hearing about Beiqi from Zhuo Zhen's mouth, Lin Mo sighed, his face was heavy, and he muttered to himself for a long time. "It seems that the Great Xia Dynasty is about to face an unprecedented crisis......"
Zhuo Zhen and Xu Hao looked at Lin Mo in confusion, not knowing what was in his mouth.
At this moment, Cheng Lan hurriedly ran to Yuqing Xiaozhu, and said anxiously: "Boss, the situation in Qingyun City has been clarified, there is indeed a gold mine, not only the place you said, even other mountains are also mines, roughly estimated, there are twelve mines like this, and the geographical location is special, it is a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as you can set up a formation, even if there are more people, you may not be able to attack it." ”
Lin Mo fell into deep thought, he had seen the location of Qingyun City, it was far from being as good as Cheng Lan said, but these twelve mines made people feel a little unbelievable, he had lived there for so long, he didn't even know that it was a gold mining gathering place.
Seeing that Lin Mo hadn't spoken for a long time, and was thinking about things again, Cheng Lan took out a map prepared in advance from the Qiankun Ring, marked all the locations of the mine, and connected the location of Qingyun City and the mine into a circle, and made it clear that this was the best location for the formation and enchantment.
Lin Mo stared at it for a while, if Qingyun City was deployed from the city, it would be easily breached, but if the locations of the twelve mines were connected as an enchantment to be deployed, and then Qingyun City was used as the main array, the twelve star light arrays could be deployed, even if the people from the Emperor Martial Realm came, they might not be able to break through the endless cycle of formation enchantments.
"Cheng Lan, well done, I'll leave the matter of the formation to you, I'll go and prepare for the handover now. ”
"Don't worry, boss, I've already started to arrange, but the position of the center of the formation, I think it's better to let Qi Qi make a move, after all, he used to be the commander of one side, and he is the most powerful in terms of arranging troops. ”
Lin Mo nodded, expressing his agreement with Cheng Lan's point of view, Qi Qi has rich combat experience and is good at arranging troops, which is well known to everyone, so the Twelve Star Light Array, you still have to bother him to make a move.
After negotiation, Lin Mo called out Qi Qi, Dabao and the Thunder Flame Demon Ape, told him about the defense of Qingyun City, and rushed to Yanjing.
"Boss, why didn't you say you were coming in advance, I'll pick you up. Beiqi said.
Lin Mo smiled and said nonchalantly: "It's all my own family, why are you so polite, I came here today because I want you to do it now." ”
"The city lord's business?" Beiqi said.
Lin Mo nodded, his face heavy. "I feel that Li Si's purpose is not as simple as it seems, it is likely to be the entire Great Xia Dynasty, plus the fact that your father is guarding the frontier, I feel more and more that this Li Si is likely to have reached some kind of agreement with the Hongxia Dynasty, and is ready to come to meet the outside world. ”
Bei Qi frowned, if it was really the same as what Lin Mo said, then the situation of the Great Xia Dynasty would be really dangerous.
Although the location of Qinjiang is remote, it is rich in resources, Li Si has never left the fiefdom since the feudal marquis, and after hundreds of years of development, no one knows what his true strength is, even the blade iron cavalry of the King of Xia can't find out the facts.
I only know that Li Si is deeply loved by the people of Qinjiang, dancing and writing all day long, regardless of the affairs of the court, and living a leisurely life of seclusion.
However, it is such a prince who seems to be harmless to humans and animals, which makes King Xia very jealous, but there is no reason to attack him.
Therefore, the speculation of the outside world does not have absolute evidence at all, and Li Si can only be attacked after he is exposed.
Although it was dangerous to do so, there were many princes in the Great Xia Dynasty, and in order to appease their uneasy speculation, the Xia King could only brake quietly.
Beiqi had never been to the court, and he didn't know the intrigues and tricks in the officialdom, so he didn't think much about it.
"Xiao Qi, if you were asked to make a choice one day, which side would you be on?" Lin Mo asked.
Bei Qi thought for a moment and said, "I believe that the boss will not do anything that harms the dynasty. ”
Lin Mo smiled and didn't open his mouth to explain, if he and Li Si fought head-on, it would inevitably have a great impact, and no one could be sure which side they would fight for.
At noon, Yaya and Bei Meng returned to the Beiwu Palace, surrounded by guards.
"Brother, the city lord's approval has come down. ”
"So fast?"
Bei Qi took the approval document in Bei Meng's hand in surprise, looked at it carefully, and after repeated confirmation, it was definitely the approval of the city lord of Qingyun City, so he completely relieved himself.
"The city lord's approval can be successfully completed, thanks to Yaya's help, if it weren't for the imminent marriage between you and her, King Xia would not have supported it in a short time. ”
"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely not disappoint Yaya. ”
Bei Meng and Yaya glanced at each other and smiled.
"Boss, the approval has come down, I'm really sorry this time, my wedding with Yaya is imminent, so I can't help you share your worries. ”
"What's this, just prepare for the marriage, go back, give you a big gift. ”
Lin Mo put away the city lord's approval, and was very excited, this time he could finally return to his hometown and rebuild the Lin family in style.
However, Bei Meng's eyes were a little strange when he looked at Lin Mo, and his words were a little shy.
"Sister, you won't take a fancy to my boss, will you?" Beiqi said in a low voice.
Bei Meng glared at Bei Qi, blushed and said, "What's the matter, don't talk nonsense." ”
Lin Mo chatted with Yaya for a few words, and learned that her marriage to Beiqi was held on the day of the New Year, and she was sincerely happy for them.
"When the Chinese New Year comes, I will definitely be there, so I will go first. ”
After Lin Mo and Beiqi said goodbye briefly, they left Yanjing and rushed to Qingyun City.
During this time, Lin Mo didn't have any spare time to cultivate, he was busy with the city lord's affairs, and he had to go around every once in a while, and he didn't even go to the Jiang family to pay New Year's greetings when he was a child.
There are still ten days before the New Year, and five or six days have passed since the New Year, and Lin Mo is finally busy with the things in his hands, so he can go back to Qingyun City to have a look.
When the people of Qingyun City learned that a powerful army was about to enter the city, the whole city cheered, but they had a little expectation for this city lord, who was the person who came, and how they would treat the people in the city, this was something they were curious about.
"Boss, the Twelve Star Light Array has been arranged, just waiting for the heart of the formation in Qingyun City. Qi Qi said.
Lin Mo nodded, and led the members of the Holy Light Legion into the gate of Qingyun City.
Seeing that the person who came was Lin Mo, everyone present was stunned, why did this evil star come back.
"Yes, it's Lin Mo, everyone run!"
Some time ago, what happened in Qingyun City, people still remember it clearly, if Lin Mo is allowed to become the city lord, it will not be a troublemaker.
The corners of Zhuo Zhen's mouth twitched a few times, it seemed that Lin Mo was not popular, and those people seemed to be afraid of him.
"Leave them alone and go according to the plan. Lin Mo ignored the reactions of those people, and walked inside with the members of the Holy Light Legion, and came to the most prosperous and solemn place in the city, the City Lord's Hall.
This city lord's hall already existed when Qingyun City was built, and it was not only a long year but also had a special significance.
It is said that the people who can become the lord of Qingyun City are all dragons and phoenixes among people, and they will not only benefit the people, but also have a heart of love for talents.
But it's also quite strange to say, when the first city lord lived in the city lord's hall, he died mysteriously that night, and the city lords who came to take office behind him all died on the night of his appointment.
Over time, no one mentioned the matter of the city lord anymore, and no one dared to do it, and the city lord's hall was forgotten there.
Lin Mo didn't believe in these nonsense, as long as his own strength was strong enough, no matter the evil gods and ghosts, he couldn't help it, what monsters could be hidden in a mere city lord's hall.
Entering the City Lord's Hall, Lin Mo felt an eerie chill, the surrounding decorative furniture was very old, and there were a lot of cobwebs and dust on the beams, which was obviously caused by the fact that no one had lived in it for a long time.
Zhuo Zhen swallowed his saliva and said in fear: "Boss, how do I feel a little cold and swishing here, there will be no ghosts......
Lin Mo glared at Zhuo Zhen, and said angrily: "Damn, how old is he still afraid of that kind of thing, even if there is a ghost, Lao Tzu will beat him to the point where his soul is scattered!"
In an instant, the yin wind rose everywhere, and clouds of black gas poured in from all directions.
"Who are you to dare to trespass on the City Lord's Palace!"
Lin Mo stared at those black qi for a while, and could vaguely see their faces, like people and non-humans, like ghosts and not ghosts, like hideous hellish ghosts, revealing their narrow fangs.
Zhuo Zhen, Xu Hao and Mu Yuzhu were all taken aback, where had they ever seen something so abstract, they all hid behind the crowd and didn't dare to make a sound.
Lin Mo snorted coldly and said lightly: "I am the new city lord, if you want to live, flash me to the side, if you don't want to live, I can give you a ride!"
As soon as the words fell, a dragon roar resounded in the sky, and the City Lord's Hall emitted a dazzling golden light. The residents of Qingyun City all widened their eyes, looked at the abandoned City Lord's Hall in disbelief, and knelt on the ground reverently.
"You, who are you, how can you have such a pure aura......"
"Who am I?he~ You are not qualified to know, give you another chance, whether to surrender to me, or choose to die!"
Looking at the golden dragon behind Lin Mo, the black qi gradually dissipated, and a monster covered in pitch black knelt on the ground.
"I'm willing to surrender. ”
Lin Mo thought about it, looking at the appearance of this monster and the aura emanating from its body, he could almost conclude that this guy did not belong to the native species, but more like a ghost.
After cultivating for so long, Lin Mo was still the first time he had seen a ghost species, and he was still quite curious.
"What's your name and where are you from? ”
"My name is Black Rakshasa and I am from the underworld. ”
As soon as they heard the three words Black Rakshasa, they gasped, this is the most terrifying ghost in the underworld, the strength is not weaker than the Ten Palaces Yama, and they like to devour those primordial gods with evil thoughts, increase their cultivation, be able to distinguish between right and wrong, and pass through yin and yang.
It's just that the Black Rakshasa looks terrifying, with three heads and six arms, and uses the magic weapon condensed before his death as a weapon, and his combat power is very strong, and he likes to devour those primordial gods, so the underworld issued a hunt order to hunt down this black Rakshasa who makes ghosts stay away.
Although Lin Mo had never heard of the name of the Black Rakshasa and didn't know anything about the underworld, he didn't take the Black Rakshasa seriously, and he was so cold that he didn't care about him.
"Brother, you're going to be developed. Dabao said.
Black Rakshasa looked at Dabao with a puzzled expression and asked, "How do you say this?"
Dabao smiled and said in a deep voice: "Aren't you a ghost from the underworld, they don't want you, our boss wants it, provided that you can't indiscriminately harm people, and you can't devour the primordial gods." ”
Black Rakshasa nodded, he escaped from the underworld, after years of precipitation, the injury suffered by the Yuan Shen only recovered a little, and his strength was not as good as before, and it was on par with the middle stage of the Emperor Martial Realm in the human race, so he hid in this place to recuperate.
