Chapter 44: City Lord Meng Liang
"Commander, what is written in the letter?"
The two subordinates beside Zhang Kui were all cronies, and they came forward and asked curiously.
"This dead girl, that good boy, wrote a letter saying that she knew about the conspiracy between me and Zhang Kuang, and if we dared to touch Luo Yu, we would tell Meng Liang all this! Damn, I see that the guy who played in the forest before was not Li Tie but this Xiaoliu!"
Zhang Kui is not an unreachable person, he was in the Youquan Forest before because of the lack of information he had, and mistakenly thought that it was Li Tie's doing, but after receiving this letter today, he found that he had guessed wrong.
If it was really Li Tie who played his own words, then he would definitely not care about the life or death of a Luo Yu, and now the city lord must have known about his conspiracy with Zhang Kuang.
Only Xiao Liu would threaten himself with this matter, so as to keep Luo Yu.
"Hmph! count yourself lucky! I'll let you live for two days!"
Zhang Kui let go of the big hand that was holding Luo Yu's hair, threw it to the ground, and then walked away in a huff.
It's not that he doesn't want to torture Luo Yu to vent, but he is really afraid that Xiao Liu will stab himself and Zhang Kuang's plan, and now he has no time to get along with a little girl, so it is the right thing to find Zhang Kuang immediately to discuss countermeasures with him!
After Zhang Kui walked away with his men, Luo Yu got up from the ground with difficulty, and Xiao Liu fell to her side
"Little Sixth Brother, are you back?!"
When Luo Yu saw that the person next to him was Xiaoliu, he was immediately overjoyed, and the tears on his face that had not yet dried were really pitiful.
Although this little girl is not very old, the girl is already precocious, and she is now like a flower about to bloom in early spring, with a fresh and exquisite elegance and pure atmosphere.
"Xiaoyu, are you okay?"
Xiao Liu smiled and pulled Luo Yu up from the ground, looked at her and said.
"Well, it's just a little wronged, I'm fine. Brother Liu, what about the regimental commanders? Why are you the only ones coming back with Zhang Dabeard?"
Luo Yu knew that Shi Song promised Xiaoliu that he would protect himself, and when Zhang Kui came just now, he had no scruples at all, and he looked like he was choosing someone to devour, which made her still have palpitations, so she couldn't help but ask about Shi Song's whereabouts.
"I'm afraid Brother Shi won't come back in a short time. Now everyone here has betrayed him and taken refuge in Zhang Kui......"
The news that Xiao Liu said made Luo Yu frightened, and she hurriedly grabbed Xiao Liu's sleeve and said
"Little Sixth Brother, then, then you take me away, leave here, I am willing to follow you as a slave, you can do whatever you ask me to do, don't leave me here, Zhang Dabeard will not let me go!"
Luo Yu's anxious eyes shed two lines of tears again, and Xiao Liu also felt a pain in his heart when he saw it, and hurriedly comforted him
"You can rest assured. I have Zhang Kui's handle in my hand, and he doesn't dare to do anything to you for the time being. I can't take you away yet, but don't worry, I promise you, I'll take you with me when I leave here!
Luo Yu saw the murderous intent in Xiao Liu's eyes, knew that he already had an idea, and recalled Zhang Kui's reaction after reading the letter just now, and felt a little relieved.
"Little Sixth Brother, then I'll wait for you to pick me up"
The well-behaved Luo Yu made Xiao Liu like it more and more, and he found that after such a period of getting along, he liked this girl a little.
Luo Yu was interesting to himself, and Xiao Liu actually felt it, but he was still young and didn't think much about it.
In the end, under Luo Yu's farewell, Xiao Liu left here and rushed to the city lord's mansion.
"If Shi Song recovers from his injuries slightly, he will definitely go to the City Lord's Mansion to find Meng Liang to expose Zhang Kui and Zhang Kuang's conspiracy, if Meng Liang learns the truth, he will definitely be in trouble, then my threat Zhang Kui will not care at that time. Both of them must be stopped!"
Xiao Liu's purpose now is very simple, Shi Song and Li Tie don't care about Luo Yu's life or death, but he cares.
Even if it is necessary for Meng Liang to know the truth, he must be present, so that things can develop in a controllable direction.
In this way, even if things get out of control, he can rush back to the mercenary station to pick up Luo Yu as soon as possible.
Soon Xiao Liu came to the city lord's mansion in the south of the city, where idlers rarely move around, because there are officers and soldiers patrolling everywhere, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach at will.
Xiao Liu relied on the strength of the human fairy realm to find a hidden place on the way to the City Lord's Mansion and hid it.
With Mo Wu's help, none of the people who came and went could escape his surveillance, and as long as Shi Song and Li Tie appeared, he would definitely be able to find out quickly.
In this way, about three hours have passed, and without Mo Wu's reminder, Xiao Liu found two people who were acting suspiciously.
"These two people are dressed differently from Brother Shi and Li Tie, but they are definitely them. It seems that they were worried that Zhang Kui sent someone to intercept them, so they deliberately disguised themselves. ”
Xiao Liu looked at the two people below sneakily approaching the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and knew that the other party was definitely Shi Song and the others.
The two people below were wearing big hats, covering their faces, but this could not escape Mo Wu's eyes, and soon the two of them came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
"You two! This is the City Lord's Mansion!
The officers and soldiers in charge of the guard also saw that these two guys were a little suspicious, so when they approached, they immediately scolded them.
"Brothers, I am Shi Song, the leader of the iron-blooded mercenary group, and this is Li Tie, the iron-handed judge of the brothers, we have important news that we need to report to City Lord Meng immediately!
Shi Song's face was a little pale, thinking that it should be due to the previous injury and the loss of a lot of blood, plus the consumption of a lot of physical strength when he came back from the road.
"Oh, you're the soldier king Shi Song, why do you look like this? I think you're a fake, right?"
One of the leading officers and soldiers looked at Li Tie and Shi Song suspiciously, suspecting that they had bad intentions.
"This brother, I really am Shi Song, look at this token, it is a unique symbol of our mercenary group. ”
Shi Song took out a golden sign from his bosom and handed it to the leading officer and soldier, asking him to verify his identity.
"This token doesn't look like it's fake, but that doesn't mean you didn't steal it!
The officer weighed and spoke.
"Then thank you, brother, after you go in, you only need to tell Master Meng that the matter we want to report is related to Zhang Kuang. We'll need to talk about the rest after meeting with the adults. ”
Shi Song saw that the other party was relieved, and immediately hurried to say.
"Okay then! You guys are waiting here! Hu Xin, you go in and report it, just count it according to what Captain Shi just said!"
The officer and soldier who led the team ordered one of his subordinates to go forward, and then stayed where he was and stared at Shi Song and Li Tie.
Soon after, the officer named Hu Xin came back and whispered a few words in the ear of his leader.
"Alright! let the two of them in!"
Under his order, the big iron gate of the City Lord's Mansion opened from the inside, and this heavy iron gate could not be easily broken through even in the human fairy realm, and it could be regarded as a good defense.
Shi Song and Li Tie followed the officers and soldiers named Hu Xin who led the way through the bluestone road several hundred meters long and entered the interior of the City Lord's Mansion.
In the five-zhang tall building of the City Lord's Mansion, the outermost room was a lobby for official business, and as soon as Shi Song and Li Tie walked into it, they found a middle-aged man of about forty years old, with a white face and narrow eyes, standing in the center of the room with his hands on his back.
As soon as Shi Song tried, he felt a huge pressure from this middle-aged man, and this person's cultivation was much higher than himself!
"Shi Song meets City Lord Meng!"
As a local force in Yuzhou City, Shi Song naturally met Meng Liang, but usually Meng Liang rarely showed up, and Shi Song had no friendship with him, and he didn't know much about Meng Liang's personality.
"Captain Shi looks like he's been injured recently?"
Meng Liang squinted his eyes and turned around after hearing this, and said in an unhurried tone.
The other party's reaction made Shi Song even more confused about his depth, so he had to answer honestly
"Back to the city lord, I am indeed injured. And this injury has something to do with you, an adult. ”
"Oh, I have to hear it, come, sit down and talk slowly, come on!
Meng Liang had an inexplicable smile on his face, and Shi Song's heart tightened when he saw it, this city lord looked like a scheming old fox, so that people couldn't understand what he was thinking in his heart.
Soon the people from the City Lord's Mansion brought tea, and Meng Liang took a sip and said with a smile
"Okay, Captain Shi, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. Why do you say that your injury has something to do with me?"
Shi Song didn't dare to drink Meng Liang's tea casually, Li Tie was naturally the same as him, at the moment, he suspected that Zhang Kuang and Zhang Kui were plotting to assassinate him and want to usurp power and seize the power of Yuzhou City.
After Meng Liang listened, he couldn't see the slightest change on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he spoke after a while
"So, Zhang Kuang entrusted your mercenary group to find Dream Eater to use against me, and they want to replace me?"
"That's right! My lord, you must beware of Zhang Kuang and Zhang Kui, they are so bold, there must be a big conspiracy!"
Shi Song hurriedly added.
"Hehehe, Captain Shi, these are all your words, what evidence can you come up with now to prove what you said?"
Meng Liang's question made Shi Song stunned, he hadn't considered the question that Meng Liang would doubt whether what he said was true or false!
