Chapter 543: Dig a Pit for Yourself (First Update)
"—— Uproar"
Nan Jinxian's official announcement completely broke the silence, and the audience instantly exploded.
What is the situation!Long Haotian is the current city lord?
Yes, in terms of identity, he is Hong Lingyun's personal disciple, and he barely complies. But the problem is, Qiu Shengying, Fang Zhantu, and the Jiang brothers are not dead yet! Why can't it be his turn to be the leader! Even if you Chu Guyun has prestige, this decision is somewhat unacceptable.
A relieved smile appeared on Ji Wuchen's face. He has always believed in his sharp vision, Long Haotian is definitely not a thing in the pool.
Although Han Feng and Xie Wuyi's hearts were shocked, it seemed that they had become accustomed to it. Therefore, it does not show too much surprise as others. Just used his incomparably complicated gaze to stare at the young and mysterious teenager on the stage.
Qiu Tianyi is about to be stupid. What is the situation? Shouldn't the acting city lord be his father's? He raised his head and looked at his father, only to see that Qiu Shengying was looking at Nan Jinxian with inquiring and puzzled eyes, as if asking if this was just a humorous joke? Looking at the expression on Nan Jinxian's face, he unmistakably said that this was by no means a joke, but a definite fact.
"How could it be...... How could it be ......" Qiu Tianyi's body twitched intermittently, as if he had been struck by lightning.
As for Mo Wuxian, at this moment, he felt that his blood was about to freeze.
From the moment Long Haotian became a personal disciple, Mo Wuxian felt a huge crisis. But at that time, Lei Zhenyue was still there, and he still had a backer. And in the end, Lei Zhenyue even came forward to kill Long Haotian in person.
But now, Lei Zhenyue is dead, and his backer has fallen. But Long Haotian is getting better and better, and now he is even more above Qiu Shengying's head. With his current status, if he really wants to die by himself, it is a matter of one sentence. The six-eyed boy who has always been rampant and domineering and yin owl finally trembled with fear.
He felt that this move to escape from Lingyun City was really wise, and he even secretly decided not to come back again, and to find a place to cultivate behind closed doors again, and maybe there would still be a day of rise in the future.
As for Qiu Shengying, when he realized that this was the truth, he was completely stupid there. At the same time, he was horrified to find that all this seemed to have been arranged a long time ago, like a trap, just waiting for him to jump into it.
Isn't it?
Lian Chengbi recruited himself, Nan Jinxian forced himself to admit his guilt with words, and was willing to send Qiu Tianyi to the front line, and he was almost forced to go with him and give up the acting city lord. Of course, in the end, he actually gave it to Long Haotian on behalf of the city lord, but he didn't expect it at all.
In just a few months, Long Haotian, a young man who had fled from a Thousand Flame Realm, had actually jumped from the lowest level of the sect to become the acting city lord! If he hadn't seen it in person, no one would have believed it.
At this time, Fang Zhantu, who had been hiding from a distance and watching, finally couldn't calm down, although he never showed up, he was always paying close attention to such an important matter. And this mood swing of his was immediately sensed by Nan Jinxian. I heard him say loudly: "Since Lord Fang is also here, why don't you show up and see it!"
"Woo ——"
Everyone's eyes brushed into the depths of the clouds.
Fang Zhantu knew that he couldn't hide anymore, so he forcibly stabilized his mind, and appeared on the Dianjiang platform in an instant.
After a few simple greetings, Nan Jinxian smiled and said, "Lord Fang, I don't know where you went before?
"But I don't know what Lord Nan is looking for me?" Fang Zhantu replied with a smile.
"Originally, this expedition to the west of Qianyan County was led by my junior brother, but there is still a lack of a deputy commander. The meaning of the family teacher, Master Fang is the most resourceful and worthy of this task. But later, I don't know if the adults went to retreat, but my subordinates couldn't find it. In desperation, I can only invite your second senior brother and let him take charge. ”
Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, Qiu Shengying hurriedly said, "Third junior brother, Nanda is right. I think you are still the deputy commander, and I will still stay in Lingyun City!"
Fang Zhantu was so angry in his heart! Originally, he thought that he could escape this catastrophe, but he didn't expect that in the end, he would fall short because he didn't calm down for a while. However, he really can't complain about this matter, who let Chu Guyun let Long Haotian be the current city lord This decision is really sensational.
"How, Lord Fang, would you like to?" Nan Jinxian seemed to say to Fang Zhantu in a consultative tone. And the more this happens, the clearer it becomes that this is almost an irrefutable conclusion.
"Understood! Zhantu is on command!"
Qiu Shengying breathed a long sigh of relief.
He always thought that the reason why Nan Jinxian let Long Haotian become the current city lord was because he wanted to take command of the expedition. Now, since he doesn't have to go on the expedition, then what about the position of this generation of city lords should be returned to him, right?
Thinking about it, he tentatively rushed to Nan Jinxian and said, "Nan Daren, then I ......"
"Oh! yes!" Nan Jinxian seemed to remember something, Qiu Shengying heard Nan Jinxian's tone as if he was a little relaxed, and a trace of expectation suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Seeing Nanjin Xian Chong Lian Chengbi stretched out his hand, Lian Chengbi took out a one-foot-square wooden box from his arms and handed it to the senior brother. As soon as he saw this wooden box and saw the expression on Nan Jinxian's face, Qiu Shengying had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, he saw Nan Jinxian open the wooden box, take out a purple jade seal from it, and then handed it to Long Haotian and said, "Haotian, this is the seal of the city lord of Lingyun City." It has always been ruled by the lord of the city. If the lord of the city is in retreat, it is placed in the charge of the acting lord of the city. The people in the main city, seeing this seal is like seeing the city lord in person.
"Originally, this seal was in the hands of Hong Lingyun. However, Elder Lingyun died in the capital of Thousand Flame Counties, and his seal had been destroyed by Lei Zhenyue's rebellion. So today, Master hereby makes a new seal, which I will hand over to you for the time being. After this matter of Lingyun City, I hope you will do a lot of dedication!"
These words were like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, instantly shattering the glimmer of hope that Qiu Shengying had just mustered.
According to the rules, in order to become the acting lord of the city, you must have a seal. But now in Lingyun City, Hong Lingyun and Xie Rongyuan are dead, and everyone naturally regards Qiu Shengying as the boss, and no one raises objections.
But now, a new seal has been issued, and this is an irrefutable fact. If you disobey, it will be to call Chu Guyun, the sect, and even the county, Qiu Shengying does not have the guts.
At the same time, Qiu Shengying suddenly remembered another thing that made him extremely worried. That is, his son is still in the army on the expedition! Originally, he was forced to go out together, although he was reluctant, but he could still take care of Qiu Tianyi.
But now, he can't go, and the position of deputy marshal has become Fang Zhantu's. Although he doesn't have too deep hatred with Fang Zhantu on weekdays, who will understand what this guy with a deep heart in the city will do? Any casualties during the expedition are all due to the mandate of heaven.
However, at this time, if Qiu Shengying wants to change his mind, it is no longer possible.
Just now, he personally "persuaded" Fang Zhantu to leave, and swore that he would stay in Lingyun City. In the end, I dug a hole for myself, and I couldn't move. This heartwarming feeling simply made Qiu Shengying crazy.
