Chapter Seventy-Eight: Threatening the City Lord
Xinkou City.
One of the five giant cities of Lingyun Divine City, one of the sub-cities of Zhengyun Giant City.
It is a small and inconspicuous city, the size and scale are similar to Congyang City, the city lord Gao Mingjun, from the true disciple of Lingyunmen, and has a good relationship with the seven elders.
Now he has been the city lord of Xinkou City for ten years, and he still has twenty years to serve as a city lord.
Although he is not a high-level in the entire Lingyun Gate, in Xinkou City, he can almost be said to be the undisputed Emperor of the Earth.
That night, after having a banquet with the heads of several major families in the city, he returned to the city lord's mansion and habitually entered his study, ready to read some information.
As soon as I walked to the desk, I saw a piece of jade slip, which was placed on the desk clearly, and my brows suddenly frowned.
He had always liked to be tidy, and he had always tidied up the desk himself, and he was sure that the last time he left his desk, he would never have this piece of jade.
Immediately, his eyes couldn't help but narrow, because he knew that ninety percent of them had an accident.
Without his permission in the City Lord's Mansion, no one dared to enter his study, let alone put a piece of jade slip here.
Under the strong pressure of the impulse to call people, since the other party can put a piece of jade slip in silently, it will not be good for him to make a big noise at this time.
His mind turned rapidly, he hesitated for a while, and his eyes were a little gloomy and he picked up the jade slip and quickly toured.
The next moment, his face instantly became gloomy like water, and his eyes were full of murderous intent, faintly, with a sense of fear.
Because in this jade slip, there are all the 'good things' he has secretly done in Xinyun City in the past few years, as well as some of the things he has done before, some things that once they are publicized, he will definitely be finished.
"Whew!"
His breathing couldn't help but get worse because he was already thinking about the feeling of death.
Barely calming down, gritting his teeth, he walked out of the study quickly, waved everyone away, made a simple appearance, and quietly walked towards a place in the city alone.
After a while, he came to the door of an ordinary house, gritted his teeth secretly, and walked in, the room was dark, he subconsciously felt a coldness, looked around, and said gloomily: "I'm here, don't you show up yet?"
"Bang Bang!"
In the darkness, there was a burst of applause, and before the applause fell, a rather gentle voice sounded, "Welcome to the city lord." ”
The voice fell, and a bright light rose in the room, and a man dressed in white with an ordinary appearance appeared in front of Gao Mingjun.
At first glance, he saw that the other party had changed his appearance, it should be a Wen Xiu, and after looking carefully, Gao Mingjun's heart suddenly rose with horror, because he couldn't see the depth of the other party at all.
Obviously, the other party's realm was higher than him, and the lowest was the powerhouse of the fourth realm, and his heart suddenly became even more uneasy, and his intuition told him that he had been involved in some vortex.
"Who are you, what is the purpose of coming to my Lingyun Gate?" Although he was worried, he still subconsciously looked serious and pulled up the banner of Lingyun Gate.
"My Lingyun Gate!" The man suddenly seemed to have heard something surprised, looked at Gao Mingjun, showing a hint of amusement, but still looked very gentle: "Gao City Lord will also say that I Lingyun Gate?"
Although the voice was gentle, a cold immediately hit Gao Mingjun's whole body. was still guessed by him, and the other party must have threatened him and done something for him.
He had the heart to resist strictly, but he didn't dare, once those things were exposed, he would definitely die.
Calm down, no matter what, he has to fight for some right to speak for himself, and he can't be manipulated by what the other party says.
His eyes were cold, revealing a sneer: "No matter who you are, no matter where you know those things, now you just want to threaten me to do things for you, but I'm afraid you miscalculated." ”
"Oh! The man's gentle smile remained unchanged and he said with interest.
For no reason, seeing that gentle smile, Gao Mingjun's heart was even colder, but he still said coldly: "That's right, I did those things, but do you think that those things and the benefits are all mine?"
Above me, I don't know how many high-level Lingyun Sect officials, you want to threaten me with this, it's too ridiculous.
Once this matter is revealed, you will offend countless Lingyun Sect high-level officials, do you think you will be able to escape?"
said, showing a look of disdain, no matter which force, there will be people who will do something dark for the sake of profit.
Lingyun Gate is naturally no exception, he Gao Mingjun has betrayed a lot of interests in Lingyun Gate, but some of the people above know it, but they just turn a blind eye.
After all, it is not a matter of life and death of Lingyun Gate, they are not the head, and they can still get huge benefits, of course they will not care.
"Can you escape? But why did City Lord Gao come here? City Lord Gao thinks, will you be able to escape by then?" The man did not have the slightest impatience, his gentle smile was even more serious, and the words he said made Gao Mingjun open his mouth to refute, but under those eyes, he couldn't say anything.
He knew very well in his heart that it was unknown whether the unfathomable man in front of him could escape, but he definitely couldn't escape.
Once the matter is revealed, the head of the family will inevitably send someone to investigate, and those people above will probably rush to abandon him and kick him as a substitute for the dead.
It's impossible not to die.
So here he is, he doesn't want to die.
But in the face of this man's possible request, he really didn't want to, and he didn't dare to agree, because it was very likely to collude with outsiders and betray Lingyun Gate, once it was found out, it would be a dead end!
And not only did he die, but all his relatives were definitely no better.
The man seemed to see Gao Mingjun's fear, and his gentle smile was even worse, he stretched out his hand to pat Gao Mingjun's shoulder, and said gently: "Don't be nervous, in fact, I just want to invite you to join a small group, Lord Gao." ”
Gao Mingjun didn't speak, he didn't know how to say it, the cold sweat had already broken out, but he didn't have the heart to wipe it.
"Hey, didn't the High City Lord think that this group was rebelling against the Lingyun Gate, right?" Suddenly, the man sighed and said in surprise.
Gao Mingjun's eyes blinked violently, looking at the man, and his heart was a little messy.
"It seems that the Gao City Lord really misunderstood!" the man sighed again, "Gao City Lord might as well think about it, why can I find out about you? and why do you want to investigate? You are just a deputy city lord, what can you do if you threaten you?"
Gao Mingjun's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his heart became more and more active.
Why was the other party able to find out what he didn't say in advance, why did he go to check it, and he threatened himself with this?
If it is a hostile force, I am afraid that he will betray the interests of Lingyunmen even more.
And he is only a deputy city lord, even if he is threatened by enemy forces, what can he do?
Open the city gate, don't laugh, he's just a deputy city lord, what can he do if he opens the city gate? It's just a vice city, what if he loses it?
Where is it worth such a master to threaten himself personally!
Thinking about it, Gao Mingjun clasped his hands into fists and saluted, and reluctantly smiled: "Dare to ask what Mr. means ......?"
"You and I are both spiritual cloud gates, why be so polite. The man smiled.
In an instant, Gao Mingjun's heart fell halfway, not to betray Lingyunmen.
At the moment, the smile became brighter and brighter, and there was a little flattery: "Mr. is profound, of course, it is worth Mingjun's salute." ”
"Well, I wonder if the High City Lord is willing to join our small group now?" the man nodded and said gently.
"Then I don't know who the owner of this group is?" Gao Mingjun couldn't help but ask, still with a lot of vigilance in his heart.
Unexpectedly, the man with a gentle smile at that moment instantly changed his face, cold as frost, which made Gao Mingjun shiver.
"There are some things that shouldn't be asked, so it's better not to ask. ”
The cold words made Gao Mingjun immediately nod again and again, "I understand below, damn it below." ”
"Gao Cheng mainly remembers, if you do well, someone above will naturally take care of you, if you don't do well, you have always been an abandoned pawn, understand?" The man's cold face dissolved a little, and he said lightly.
