In Yuanfeng City, Lin Ye had been out of the city for nearly ten days and had not returned, and almost every day, the Dong Mansion had to send someone to the Prayer Mansion to ask if the Lin clan's patriarch's life card had been broken. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, to Dong Yuanchang's disappointment, the news from the Prayer Mansion showed that Lin Ye's life card was not broken, but became more and more shiny. This shows that these days when Lin Ye was alone outside the city, not only did he not have to worry about his life, but his strength was increasing day by day.

"Master, how could this Lin Ye's luck be so good? In the bushes west of the city, if there were demon beasts, they should have been eradicated by the neighboring clans long ago. How could a demon beast suddenly burst out and bite Liu Shaoyang's neck off?"

The chief housekeeper Dong Kong became more and more anxious and said that there had been no news since Liu Shaoyang chased Lin Ye out of the city that day, and Dong Yuanchang sent Dong Kong out of the city to look for it on the second day, and found Liu Shaoyang's body in the bushes on the western outskirts of the city.

It can be seen from the various marks on Liu Shaoyang's corpse that Liu Shaoyang first fell into Lin Ye's trap, and then was bitten to death by the demon beast after being injured.

"It's not simple! This matter is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, if it is an ordinary demon beast, Dong Kong, do you think we can still see Liu Shaoyang's corpse completely and unmissing? He is a warrior, even for a fifth-level demon beast, it can be regarded as a big meal. ”

Although it has been calm in Yuanfeng City in the past few days, Dong Yuanchang has become even more restless, and the city lord Yang Weicheng has already completed his initial recovery and has begun to deal with city affairs. Even if there was no change on Lu Zihong's side, Dong Yuanchang also had a hunch that they might jump out and bite themselves in front of the city lord anytime and anywhere.

"Sir, this is a little strange. Judging from Liu Shaoyang's corpse, after the demon beast bit him to death, he walked away. It is not in line with the motives of ordinary demon beasts attacking martial artists at all......" Dong Kong also said suspiciously.

"Is there any movement over there in Lu Zihong? By the way, Dong Kong, can you check if there were people in the Lu Mansion who entered and left the city that day?"

Squinting his eyes, Dong Yuanchang had a bad premonition.

"Yes, sir, I'll check on the guards at the city gate right away......"

After a while, Dong Kong hurried back and hurriedly said, "Master...... Found it! Found it...... Not long after Liu Shaoyang left the city that day, the guards saw Lu Hong, the chief butler of the Lu Mansion, hurriedly riding out of the city, and then came back in a hurry in less than an hour. ”

That's right, they were really targeted by Lu Zihong and them. Lu Zihong, they just want to unite with Lin Ye to take the beast tide in front of the city lord and take our army, as soon as Liu Shaoyang leaves the city, they will know, Lu Zihong deliberately let Lu Hong go out, and even ...... It is very likely that Liu Shaoyang was killed by Lu Hong, but he deliberately made a trace of a demon beast killing. I'm just going to say it's not going to be that coincidental......"

His eyes were wandering, and Dong Yuanchang was thinking about what to do, when suddenly a guard outside the mansion hurriedly came to report: "Master......! Back in town!"

"What? Lin Ye has returned to the city? His life is really big, he has stayed outside the city alone for ten days, and he has not encountered a demon beast? As soon as he comes back, Lu Zihong will definitely take him with him to the city lord to testify that I caused this beast tide...... No, I have to think of a countermeasure right away, and I can't fall into the passive side. When Dong Yuanchang heard the news, he suddenly stood up from his seat, and finally his eyes fell on Dong Kong's body.

......

At this time, there was also another military lieutenant in Yuanfeng City, Lu Zihong, who was paying close attention to Lin Ye's whereabouts, and as soon as he heard the report from his subordinates, he also stood up from his seat with a rub on the ground, stroked his beard and laughed: "Lin Ye is back, Dong Yuanchang, this time you are dead!"

"Master, do you want me to go find Lin Ye right now?" the chief butler Lu Hong asked with a bow.

"No, I'll go to him myself, and then take him with me to the City Lord's Mansion at once, this time...... I want to see, what else can Dong Yuanchang say in front of ironclad evidence?"

Lu Zihong's eyes were like eagle eyes, as if he had stared at his prey and would not let it escape again.

At the gate of Yuanfeng City, after hearing the news of Lin Ye's return, Lin Shan also ran over from the clan quickly, and not long after Lin Ye entered the city, he was touched by Lin Shan in the middle of the road.

"Brother Ye, you can be regarded as back. I've been there for so many days, and I've been worried about you to death. ”

Lin Shan came forward happily, and the little guy was quite kind when he saw him, and a fierce man pounced on him.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Little guy, I haven't seen you for ten days, why did you gain so much weight all of a sudden, and sure enough, you have eaten too much game and grown so much meat. Lin Shan was enthusiastically pounced by the little guy, quickly turned over and got up, patted the dust on his body, and said.

"Shanzi, how is the situation in the clan these days when I am not here? Everything is still normal, right?"

After staying outside the city for so many days, returning to the familiar Yuanfeng City, and feeling a strong popularity, Lin Ye also relaxed comfortably and asked.

"There's nothing in the clan, that is...... Qian Lichang sent someone to ask him several times, but you weren't there. In addition, there are too few young and strong people in the clan, all of them are old and weak, women and children, and many miscellaneous servants sent by the public are difficult to complete in our clan, so I have to use some silver to top. However, Brother Ye, this is not a long-term solution, the number of our Lin clan is too small, and we should consider receiving some displaced people from outside the city. ”

Lin Shan briefly reported to Lin Ye about the affairs of the clan, and Lin Ye nodded when he heard it, and replied: "If you want to carry forward and strengthen our Lin clan and strive to become a C-pin clan, or even a B-pin clan, you must absorb the displaced people outside the city. However, the conditions for absorbing displaced people are harsh, and we must take a long-term view. ”

Just as Lin Ye and Lin Shan were talking while walking, they met Lu Zihong and his party who were in a hurry.

"Patriarch Lin, haha! Today, I heard that Patriarch Lin is coming back to the city, so I came over to take a look, but I didn't expect Patriarch Lin to be a talent, heroic and upright!"

As soon as they met, Lu Zihong first sent a burst of compliments, for a young man like Lin Ye, Lu Zihong's praise for the military lieutenant is still very lethal.

"I've seen Captain Lu, Lin has just returned to the city, and he doesn't dare to bother the military lieutenant to meet in person, I don't know...... What is Lu Wuwei doing to find Lin?"

Lin Ye asked knowingly, he knew that as soon as he returned to the city, Lu Zihong estimated that he would look for him soon, but he didn't expect that Lu Zihong would come so quickly, and he would come to him in person.
