Chapter 185: The City Lord's Purpose
After following the monk surnamed Qian to the City Lord's Mansion, Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue met the legendary Taizhou City Lord for the first time.
The city lord looked to be only in his thirties, and his figure became more and more erect against the backdrop of a white robe.
Ren Hanyue took the opportunity to salute and looked at the city lord, and found that not only were his eyebrows and eyes warm, but also the corners of his lips were always with a vague smile, which made him look very approachable.
Ren Hanyue directly gave him an evaluation of "old fox", judging from her experience, the more this kind of old guy who is not in love, the more difficult it is to deal with, and the more cautious and cautious he must be.
Obviously, the other monks present all had the same thoughts as Ren Hanyue, and the moment they saw this city lord, they all unconsciously tensed their bodies and straightened their backs.
Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue were ready to load quails all the way, and after saluting with everyone, the two lowered their eyes and stopped talking.
However, the city lord obviously didn't mean to let them be honest as a background board, and after praising the demon slaying team, he turned to Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue's contributions to this demon slaying operation.
Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue were calm and slanderous on their faces, while the others kept looking at them with an expression of a thorn in the flesh.
After the conclusion of the speech, the city lord changed his words and brought everyone into the most critical part of the distribution of credit.
"Although these two Ren Daoyou do not belong to the demon eradication team, their contribution to this demon eradication operation is obvious to all, and our Taizhou Lord's Mansion has always been rewarded for meritorious service and punished for mistakes, and this time will naturally be no exception. The city lord said this, Qin Lao Er couldn't hold it back, he was about to open his mouth with a bull's eye, but he was stopped by Qin Lao Da with a look.
Just now, he rashly opened his mouth to accuse the monk surnamed Qian, but he leaked the bottom of his family, so Boss Qin has been scolding him for not accomplishing enough and failing more than he has done all the way, so now he doesn't dare to be so impulsive anymore.
The City Lord's expression did not change at all, as if he had not noticed the interaction between the two brothers at all, "The contents of this storage bag, except for the monsters that must be destroyed, I will divide the rest equally among you according to the number of people." As for the passage jade plaques of the Five Spirit Secret Realm, according to your contributions, I have decided to divide the ten passage jade tablets of the Spirit Turtle Secret Realm into five parts and give them to the five teams present, and the twenty passage jade tablets of the White Tiger Secret Realm will be given to the four teams that originally belonged to the demon squads in the ratio of six, six, four, and four. ”
Ren Hanyue noticed that the city lord was talking about "decision", that is, he was not prepared to accept dissenting opinions at all.
Such a strong and domineering style is too different from the impression given by his appearance, Ren Hanyue thinks that his control over Taizhou must not be as weak as people see on the surface.
You must know that among the four teams standing in front of him now, there are still two teams composed of children from various immortal cultivation families in Taizhou.
He made a decision directly, and Qin Boss and Qi Laosan, who were from the two most powerful immortal cultivation families in Taizhou, did not raise objections, on the one hand, because his distribution was relatively fair, and on the other hand, it was also because he had the strength to suppress them and the family behind them.
Otherwise, they would never accept the words of this city lord against the domineering temperament of these people who forced Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue to give up the spoils of war before.
Because no one objected, Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue couldn't put it off, so the two had to accept the so-called reward given to them by the city lord like everyone else.
Of course, this is not so easy to get.
These things in their hands are not an exaggeration to say that they are hot potatoes.
Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue could even foresee that as long as they left the City Lord's Mansion, Boss Qin and the others would definitely find an opportunity to attack them.
When the time comes, don't say that these who have just arrived and haven't been covered with heat are their own, and I'm afraid they will become someone else's.
At that time, eight out of ten those who are lost along with the goods will still have their small lives.
Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue were still thinking about how to get out when the time came, but the city lord had already dismissed everyone with a smile and left the two of them alone.
The City Lord's decision surprised everyone except the monk surnamed Qian, but soon Boss Qin and Boss Qi understood one thing.
- No wonder the surnamed Qian knew that his interests would be damaged and the credit would be divided, and he had to bring these two people back to the City Lord's Mansion, no wonder these two people insisted on not accepting it at first, but then they suddenly changed their words and followed the surname Qian to the City Lord's Mansion, it turned out that all of this was secretly controlled by the famous smiling tiger of the City Lord.
The surnamed Qian's bowl has to be managed by others, and these two people don't dare to offend the lord of a city whose strength is a big realm higher than himself.
But the question is, what exactly is it that these two people have to do?
The City Lord's Mansion doesn't say that there are many talents, but how can it not make a city lord unavailable.
Don't talk about them, even Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue themselves can't figure it out.
They are just two nameless cultivators who have cultivated in the later stage of foundation building, like the city lord, who wants to have a backstage, a strong and powerful, and a powerful person, shouldn't they disdain to look at them squarely?
Fortunately, the city lord of Taizhou did not let them doubt for too long.
After the monk surnamed Qian sent Boss Qin and the others away, the two maids of the City Lord's Mansion helped a woman dressed in black and wearing a black veil to walk in.
"Jing'er, come here Daddy. As soon as he saw the woman in black, the smile of the Taizhou City Lord immediately became much more real.
But while he was happy, he also had a distressed and sorry look in his eyes.
"Jing'er has seen Daddy. The woman in black laboriously performed a blessing with the support of the maid, and the city lord of Taizhou hurriedly stepped forward and picked her up.
"Good boy, come and sit down. As he spoke, he helped the woman in black to the second seat on the left.
"This is the old man's second daughter, Yun Hongjing, she is infected with demonic energy and has difficulty moving, so the old man won't let her meet you. As soon as the Taizhou City Lord's words came out, Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue immediately understood why he had to let them come to the City Lord's Mansion and why he had to leave them alone.
Thinking of this, Ren Hanyue couldn't help but regret that he used the power of the fairy spirit in order to destroy the magic weapon called the Soul Control Banner.
Obviously, the lord of the city had the idea of asking her to help get rid of the demonic energy.
