Listening to the words of the city lord of Gutong, Chen Ning was slightly stunned, and he already understood in his heart that Gu Tong was close to himself, but he didn't take it to heart, because Chen Ning knew that all this was because of his strength.

"I don't know what the Gutong City Lord is looking for me?"

Chen Ning's expression was calm, with a faint smile on his face, and his tone was extremely calm.

Gu Tong smiled and said, "Brother Chen Ningxiao, it's not convenient to talk on this street, I don't know if I can have time to go to my house to sit." ”

Hearing this, Chen Ning's heart moved, and he immediately remembered the war between the Xiongnu Kingdom and the Jason Kingdom, so he could ask about it, and then agreed without the slightest hesitation.

The City Lord's Mansion is located in the center of Taoliu City, and it is the most majestic building in Taoliu City, occupying more than a dozen square kilometers of ground, even the World Chamber of Commerce cannot compare with it.

And in the City Lord's Mansion, there are patrolling soldiers walking around from time to time, both openly and secretly, there are always people who pay attention to everything that happens around them, and they are extremely guarded.

And in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Gu Tong, the City Lord of Taoliu City, gave up the City Lord throne sitting above, and was willing to lower his body and sit opposite Chen Ning.

Beside him, two young girls who were no more than teenagers and exuded youthful vitality waited on the side, replenishing tea and some pastries for the two from time to time.

The two chatted casually for a while, and soon got to the point.

"Little Brother Chen Ning, I think you must also know that our Peach Willow City, as the border of the Xiongnu Kingdom, is about to face the attack of the Jason Kingdom, which is a test of life and death for our Peach Willow City, once we can't resist the army of the Jason Kingdom, then millions of people in our Peach Willow City will fall into disaster, so I hope that Little Brother Chen Ning can help me. ”

The smile on Gu Tong's face disappeared, and he said to Chen Ning with a serious face, completely in a consultative tone.

Chen Ning smiled and said, "The city lord can't help but look down too much, he is just alone, and his strength is weak, how can I help Peach Willow City resist the attack of the Jason Kingdom." ”

Hearing Chen Ning's words, Gu Tong's face tightened, and from Chen Ning's words, he seemed to hear that Chen Ning was unwilling to help Peach Willow City resist the Jason Kingdom.

However, without waiting for him to speak, Chen Ning continued to speak, "But since I have come to Peach Willow City, then I will also do my part appropriately, but I dare not guarantee whether I can successfully resist the attack of the Jason Kingdom in the end." ”

For Gu Tong's invitation, Chen Ning couldn't refuse directly, after all, he was still in Taoliu City, and there were still many things to do, so he had to give Gu Tong a vague answer first, and it would depend on the situation at that time.

Sure enough, Chen Ning's words made Gu Tong's frowning brows suddenly stretch, and he smiled happily, "With Chen Ning's little brother's words, then I can rest assured, Chen Ning's little brother can join us, I think our Peach Willow City will have a better chance of resisting the attack of the Jason Kingdom this time." ”

And at this moment, I saw Wei Jie, the commander of the city defense army, hurriedly striding in from the outside, and soon came to the city lord Gu Tong, his eyes first glanced at Chen Ning in a complicated way, and then whispered something in Gu Tong's ear.

I saw that the expression on the face of the Gutong City Lord gradually became serious, and finally it was full of solemnity, and the gaze that looked at Chen Ning became a little complicated for a while.

Staring at Gu Tong's gradually changing face, Chen Ning also felt a burst of curiosity in his heart, although he didn't know what had such a big impact on Gu Tong, but from the eyes of Gu Tong and Wei Jie looking at him, he had already guessed a thing or two in his heart.

Suddenly, Chen Ning's eyes flashed, and he said secretly, "Could it be because of the Pan family's affairs?" ”

Chen Ning has very few enemies in Peach Willow City, and what can make Gu Tong, the city lord of Peach Willow City, feel serious, then in addition to the Shi family and the invincible mercenary group, there is only one Pan family left.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the hatred between Pan Biao, the head of the Pan family, and himself has become irresolvable because his only son was killed by himself.

And the face of the city lord Gu Tong also became more and more serious with the whispers of the commander of Wei Jie in his ear.

After Commander Wei Jie finished speaking, he stood behind Gu Tong, looking at Chen Ning with a complicated look and a hint of shock, and did not leave.

Gu Tong's brows furrowed tightly, his eyes looked at Chen Ning, who was sitting opposite with a calm face, hesitated slightly, and finally spoke, "Little brother Chen Ning, more than a year ago, there was a major event in our Taoliu City that caused a sensation in the city, the young master of the Pan family, the largest family in Taoliu City, was killed in the city, and according to the portrait and age at that time, it must be you." ”

Hearing this, the expression on Chen Ning's face did not change in the slightest, and he had already guessed such a result in his heart.

didn't deny it, nodded directly, and said with a light smile, "What the city lord said is right, that person is below." “

Although Scarlet had long guessed that this would be the result, when Chen Ning admitted it himself, Gu Tong still felt that his heartbeat suddenly increased a lot.

Although the grievances between Chen Ning and the Pan family have nothing to do with him, but now is an extraordinary time, Taoliu City is about to face the attack of the Jason Kingdom, which is a matter of life and death related to the Xiongnu Kingdom and Taoliu City, and there is no room for the slightest sloppiness.

And at this time, it is a time when everyone needs to unite and unite all the forces that can unite to protect Taoliu City.

And no matter which side of Chen Ning and the Pan family is, it is a great help for the current Taoliu City, but the grievances between the two of them make Gu Tong feel a very headache.

Because Gu Tong knew very well in his heart that once Chen Ning and the Pan family fought, it would definitely be a lose-lose scene, and if this matter was on weekdays, he would not ask about it at all.

But now the situation is different, now he must prevent the outbreak of grievances between Chen Ning and the Pan family, at least, before the end of this special period, he must not let Taoliu City lose too much strength.

Gu Tong stared at Chen Ning with a serious face, and said, "Little Brother Chen Ning, I have also heard of the grievances between you and the Pan family, originally this matter was your private matter, and I would not interfere in it, but now that Taoliu City is about to face the test of life and death, it is the time when we need to preserve our strength, so I hope you can temporarily let go of the personal grievances with the Pan family, and wait until this war is over, I don't know what Chen Ning's little brother wants." ”

The city lord of Gutong was completely negotiating, because in his heart, Chen Ning had already been placed in a very high position, whether it was his personal strength or the background behind him, he should not be underestimated. Chen Ning frowned slightly, then shook his head lightly, and said, "Gutong City Lord, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." ”

Hearing this, the face of the Gutong City Lord changed slightly, he knew that the thing he was most worried about in his heart was still coming, but he did not give up the idea of continuing to persuade Chen Ning, and said earnestly; Little brother Chen Ning, please focus on the overall situation, besides, the strength of the Pan family is much stronger than the Shi family, although after the tragedy a year ago, the Pan family lost the name of the number one family in Taoliu City, but this is only in the convenience of business, if it is the strength of force, the Pan family is still the first family in Taoliu City, which should not be underestimated. ”

Hearing this, Chen Ning's heart moved, and he said, "Gutong City Lord, could it be that there are other masters in the Pan family besides Pan Biao?"

Gu Tong hesitated slightly, and said, "In addition to Pan Biao's strength at the middle level of the Great Xuan Master, the Pan family also has a strong man with the high level of the Great Xuan Master, and this person is Pan Biao's younger brother, named Pan Fei.

"In addition, Pan Biao also has a very good relationship with the leaders of several large mercenary groups that often stay in Peach Willow City, if they join forces, it will be a very terrifying force in Peach Willow City. ”

Hearing this, after learning these news, the expression on Chen Ning's face still did not change at all, as if he didn't take them seriously at all, but leisurely picked up the tea on the table and took a sip gently.

Seeing that Chen Ning was so calm and didn't take the Pan family in his eyes at all, Gu Tong couldn't help but be more sure of what he thought in his heart.

I'm afraid that there is really a very powerful force behind this young man in front of him.

Gu Tong is also a thoughtful person, seeing that Chen Ning has made up his mind to be the enemy of the Pan family, then he did not dwell on this topic more, so as not to have the opposite effect, for him, the current Chen Ning is much more important than the Pan family.

Let's not talk about whether Chen Ning has any strong background behind him, just because Chen Ning has the strength to kill the Great Xuan Master at such a young age, you can see his extremely strong talent, and in time, it is not impossible to become a strong person or even a top powerhouse in the entire continent.

When Chen Ning left the City Lord's Mansion, it was already evening, and in the City Lord's Mansion, Chen Ning did not give Gu Tong a clear answer, but said that he would depend on the situation at that time.

For Chen Ning's answer, the city lord Gu Tong seemed to have expected it, and he didn't say too much, because in his heart, he already thought that Chen Ning was a child with a strong background and power, so there was nothing wrong with answering like this.

Seeing that the time was not early, and the two wars experienced before had also caused some consumption to Chen Ning, Chen Ning did not immediately go to the trouble of the Pan family, but found a restaurant nearby to live in.

Time passed in a hurry, and when the dawn of the day had just risen, Chen Ning, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, opened his eyes.

After a night of cultivation, he had fully recovered from yesterday's consumption and adjusted his state to his peak.

When Chen Ning left the restaurant, the buzzing of pedestrians could be heard everywhere on the street outside, all discussing the destruction of the Shi family and the invincible mercenary group.

The Shi family and the invincible mercenary group both have a good reputation in Peach Willow City, and in just one night, the news of their destruction spread throughout Peach Willow City.

This news is like a bombshell for everyone living in Peach Willow City, and almost all the streets and alleys in the city are talking about it.

At the same time, the major forces in Peach Willow City also sent people to investigate the truth of this matter as soon as they got the news.

As the first big family in Taoliu City, the Pan family is known to everyone in or around Taoliu City, Chen Ning casually found someone and inquired about the location of the Pan family, and then walked in the direction of the Pan family.
