"I'm the new city lord Ning Hai, you get out of the way, I'll just go in by myself. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" After speaking, Ning Hai was about to pull Zhou Weier forward and continue to fly.
Seeing this, the general didn't say a word, the sword in his hand swung downward, and hundreds of crossbow archers touched the switch of crossbow arrows at the same moment, and a row of arrows rained in front of Ning Hai and Zhou Wei'er, Ning Hai had no choice but to stop advancing, looked at these people below coldly, and said loudly: "Bold, I am the city lord of this city, do you want to rebel?" ”
"Humph!" The general snorted disdainfully: "Our city lord has now arrived in the city, and is meeting with the four rich merchants of Benlei City, you dare to pretend to be our city lord, this is the boldness, leave quickly, we will spare you from death." ”
Ning Hai instantly understood, these soldiers guarding the city may not know what is going on at all, from the performance just now, it seems that if they really rush in, they will definitely kill themselves without hesitation, if they really collude with the old city lord, at least they will not really hurt themselves, at most they will lose face, it seems that the old city lord is making up a lie, saying that the new city lord has arrived, and let the guards close the city gate and not let anyone approach.
Although these soldiers don't know anything, Ning Hai is also a little annoyed that he is trapped outside the city gate now, to say that he is sure that he will not be hurt if he rushes inside, but he can't bear to attack these unsuspecting soldiers, and after thinking about it, he finally decided to endure it, then Zhou Yue can't keep Ning Hai outside for the rest of his life.
Gently pulled Zhou Wei'er's hand and slowly flew back to the city gate.
Outside Benlei City is a desolate grassland, and at night, the cold wind blows, and the temperature is like heaven and earth compared to the brightly lit city.
I have to say that Ning Hai's preparation is still very sufficient, in his black wolf order, even the tent is ready, the two of them set up a tent a mile outside the city, and casually beat some wild beasts, and now they are sitting by the fire barbecue.
Zhou Wei'er pulled up her high hair bun, revealing her white neck, sat on a small mound, shook her slender legs, looked at where Ning Hai was roasting the hare, and asked, "When do you say they will be able to open the city gate for us to enter?" ”
"Tomorrow." Ning Hai turned the hare in his hand and replied: "Didn't the guard say, they are going to welcome the new city lord today, so they closed the city, if there is no good reason for this abnormal phenomenon, even the people in the city will resist, and the other party's purpose is to give me a dismount, but I don't dare to go too far, I estimate that the city gate should be able to open tomorrow." The little black on his shoulder was already showing signs of drooling at this time.
"Then since you knew that you couldn't get in tonight, why don't you just go back to the family, isn't it very troublesome to teleport back and forth, why spend the night here." Obviously, Zhou Wei'er has been pampered since she was a child, and now she is a little reluctant to let her spend the night here, if she has nowhere to go, it will be fine, but now it can be avoided, Ning Hai still insists on staying, Zhou Wei'er is obviously a little unhappy.
"Go back?" Ning Hai smiled self-deprecatingly, "I don't know how many people in the family are waiting to see my jokes, if I encounter such a setback, it will be difficult to raise my head in the future." "Indeed, a few yellow sealers in Ninghai can become the city lord of a city, and secretly there are indeed many people who are very jealous of Ninghai, and they are all waiting to see that Ning Hai can't hold the scene and then return to the family in a gloomy manner.
"Bear with me, after today, after entering the city tomorrow, I will definitely find the old city lord to get this account back, the rabbit is good, you can eat first." Ning Hai tore off a piece of the burnt yellow hare in his hand and fed it to Xiao Hei's mouth, and handed the rest to Zhou Wei'er, the fragrance of the food made Zhou Wei'er forget to complain for a while, and ate it with satisfaction.
One night, just like that, compared to Ning Hai's humble life outside the city, inside the city, the palatial City Lord's Mansion seemed to be a little less stable. The four wealthy merchants and the city lord Zhou Yue had already sent people to observe Ning Hai's movements outside the city at all times, originally they thought that Ning Hai would make a big noise outside the city, but they didn't expect Ning Hai to be so calm and did nothing, which made several people uneasy, what does this mean, it shows that Ning Hai is a character who is not easy to mess with, the four rich businessmen also exist for the sake of interests, as long as their interests can be guaranteed, it doesn't matter who is the city lord, and now they find that they seem to have provoked someone who should not be provoked, and they are also a little scared.
"You're talking, what are we going to do next?" Zhou Yue was a little anxious, when the four came up with ideas before, they were more enthusiastic than the other, and now after finding that the opponent was a little difficult to deal with, they all showed some signs of admitting defeat.
The four of them didn't speak, they just lowered their heads timidly, thinking about this little Jiujiu in their hearts, and it was still too late to stop, but anyway, Zhou Yue being the city lord could bring them the greatest benefits, so now there are many contradictions and contradictions among several people. Whether or not to proceed to the next threat is a question.
"Humph!" Zhou Yue couldn't help but be angry when he saw a few people so hesitant, "Okay, don't blame me for being unjust if you are unkind." ”
Zhou Yue slapped the table, raised his voice a little and said to a few people: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking in your hearts, aren't you just hesitant to take refuge in that new city lord, haha, okay, I won't hide it from you, I helped you get today's status before I can afford you, but since you are like this, I won't hide it, how many assets you have, how these assets came from I know it in my heart, don't you want to take the initiative to contribute a part of your property to show favor to that kid, hum, don't forget, Even if he is the city lord, he is just a yellow seal master, and I am the master of the earth seal master, and if you provoke me, I will let the four of you lose all your money. ”
"This... The four of them were panicked, although Zhou Yue was only a ground seal master, but there was really no second person in this city who exceeded the fourteenth order except for him, and no one in the entire Yunteng Continent knew how big the role of the domain was, so Zhou Yue wanted to kill someone in this city, it was really simple, if he had the protection of a large group of soldiers, he might be able to rely on long-range crossbow soldiers to protect himself, but the four of them were businessmen to put it bluntly, and no matter how rich they were, they couldn't change their identity as merchants, how could there be a large number of troops, So in the face of Zhou Yue's threat, several people were really scared for a while.
"City Lord, look at what you are talking about, everyone is all the way, we are just timid for a while, if there is anything, you can say anything, don't worry, we will definitely make him lose face when that kid enters the city tomorrow."
"I'm talking about it, Lord Castle, don't you know our loyalty?"
In the face of the threat, the four wealthy businessmen finally found their ground. Zhou Yue's face also looked a little better, and his tone softened: "I don't want to be embarrassed for you, there will be a few benefits when the time comes, now, let's discuss how to deal with that kid tomorrow." ”
A ray of sunlight shot up from the ground level, and gradually, the sun slowly climbed to the top of the mountain, and then climbed high into the sky, and a new day began. Ning Hai didn't sleep all night, and kept staring at Benlei City in front of him, thinking about what he didn't expect to happen after entering the city today.
"Squeak!" The huge city gate was slowly opened with the joint efforts of the ten guards, and Ning Hai woke up Zhou Wei'er, who was still asleep, stood up, and said calmly: "Let's go, enter the city." ”
Walking into the city gate, hundreds of people gathered at the city gate, as if some notice had been posted, and under curiosity, Ning Hai and Zhou Wei'er also stepped forward to take a look.
"Three days later, the new city lord will hold a ceremony to take over the city lord, all the residents must pay ten gold coins as a congratulatory gift, before the sun sets today, everyone must send this gold coin to the city lord's mansion, violators, no mercy." A soldier in armor stood next to the notice, reading aloud the contents of the notice.
After hearing this notice, all the people present became angry, and scolded one by one regardless of their image.
"Damn, ten gold coins, half a year's living expenses of Lao Tzu's family, the new city owner, phew, I want so much money when we meet."
"Damn, where can I find so much money, my wife just gave birth to a child, and the family is not rich, he opens his mouth and asks for ten gold coins, isn't this my life?"
Ning Hai was secretly frightened on the side, this Zhou Yue played enough, this is obviously to force himself to a dead end, when the time comes, he Zhou Yue will not need to make his own move, the people of the city will drive Ning Hai out, and then he Zhou Yue came out to clean up the mess, not only to keep the position of the city lord, but also to win everyone's support.
There is also a possibility, the residents of Benlei City are in chaos because of this regulation, you must know that ten gold coins, many families can live for a long time with these ten gold coins, and they have to take out so many gold coins in one day, it is estimated that at least half of the residents can't do it, but if they can't do it, they will be killed, what to do, how many smashing and looting incidents will happen in this day, and then the entire Benlei City will be in chaos, even if Zhou Yue really sincerely gives up the position of the city lord, the economy here will at least regress a lot, It even turned into a ruined city.
"Zhou Yue is bold enough this time, isn't he afraid that the patriarch will know?" Even people like Zhou Weier, who are not in the political field, can see how clever Zhou Yue's hand is, and they can't help but be a little worried about Ning Hai.
"Everything he did was done in my name, and the patriarch couldn't find out, and when he didn't admit it, we couldn't do anything about him." Ning Hai shook his head and said.
"Then what to do now, it is estimated that it will not be long before there will be chaos here." Zhou Wei'er said that now the residents have just seen this notice, and they are all in the stage of insulting the city lord, and when they are almost scolded, they should consider the issue of money, and that is the beginning of the riot.
Ning Hai lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head, his eyes were sharp, "Although Zhou Yue is ruthless enough, but this is not an opportunity for me, Zhou Yue, Zhou Yue, you have laid out such a big game, I'm afraid you will fulfill me, hum, there must be a limit to inch by inch, I originally wanted to spare you once, but now it seems that you can't stay." ”
The soldier who read this announcement was also very helpless, anyone could see what an irregular order this was, but there was no way, the soldier's nature was to obey the order, and now, he could only stand here and watch the excited crowd.
Suddenly, a figure flashed next to the soldier, and in the next moment, I heard a "swish", and the announcement posted on the wall was torn down by a person.
"Bold!" The soldier's first reaction was to take down this person, no matter how wrong the announcement was, but it was wrong for someone to tear it up. Here, there is such a rule, if the notice is not posted at the city gate, the people can be considered to have not read the notice at all, and now it has been torn up by Ninghai, which means that this order has not been issued at all.
Seeing Ning Hai tear up this announcement, everyone present cheered excitedly, "Oh, long live." ”
The soldier didn't care so much, since Ning Hai tore up the announcement, he had to arrest Ning Hai back, he didn't even see Ning Hai's face clearly, he had already rushed up, his body jumped high, and in the air like a big peng spreading its wings, he completely stretched his body, charged his strength, and punched.
Ning Hai smiled faintly, just a soldier of the Yellow Seal Division, Ning Hai didn't pay attention to it at all, the water element suddenly converged on the surface of the body, just blocking the soldier's falling fist, the soldier's body was blocked by the invisible force in front of Ning Hai, and the tendency to fall forward disappeared all at once, and the whole body was actually floating in the air.
The soldier was frightened in his heart, and hurriedly used his true qi to fly, not wanting to suddenly be swept by a huge pressure, combined with the unknown resistance from the front, as if to squash him.
"Hah!" At the critical moment, the soldier roared, and a strong energy fluctuation emanated from his body, and the strong recoil force made him successfully fly into the air, and before he could calm down, he suddenly found that there was one more person behind him, and a cold chill was released from Ning Hai's body, the temperature control of the water element, and the soldier felt that his body was tough in an instant, although Ning Hai could not do Jiang Weizhi's limit, but there was no problem in affecting the opponent's movements.
Ning Hai's hands were grabbed in response to the soldier's two shoulders, and the soldier turned around and twisted his waist, wanting to shake off Ning Hai, but he didn't want this force to be embedded in his body like two pliers, and he couldn't break free at all.
Ning Hai didn't want to really hurt this soldier, after all, he was just ordered to act, not to mention that he would be his own soldier in the future, and it would be difficult to really be loyal after being injured now, so Ning Hai just threw him into the air, and at the same time, he used gravity control to reduce the weight of the soldier's body to a minimum.
The soldier disappeared from people's sight in a blink of an eye like a meteor, although it seemed that Ning Hai's shot was very heavy, but the soldier whose body had become so light could not be hurt too much.
Zhou Yue, don't you want to frame me, okay, I'll let you frame me, if you frame me once, I will appear as a hero once When almost the residents of the whole city know that I am and Ning Hai is a hero, I am thinking that everyone will announce that I am the real new city lord, and everything before was deliberately framed by you Zhou Yue. When the time comes, let's see what kind of treatment you will be given to the city lord who doesn't care about the lives of the people in the city for his own selfish desires.
Ning Hai ended the battle and did not leave immediately, but faced the crowd in a high-profile manner, and stood for a long time in the cheers of the masses.
