Chen Ning instantly became gloomy, his cold gaze was full of strong killing intent, and then immediately turned around and led everyone towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Looking at Chen Ning's suddenly changed face, the four of Kyle also felt very puzzled in their hearts, and they didn't understand what happened to make Chen Ning's face so ugly.

Although they were very puzzled in their hearts, the four of them looked at Chen Ning's gloomy face, and they didn't dare to ask, but followed quietly behind.

The City Lord's Mansion was located in the middle of Taoliu City, and Chen Ning and a few people rode through the crowded streets on third-order demon beast mounts, causing many passers-by to stop and cast their eyes with curiosity and envy.

In this small Peach Willow City, the third-order demon beast mount is already very rare, and it is not easy to see one on weekdays, but at this moment, seven of them appeared at once, which naturally became the most eye-catching focus on the street, causing many pedestrians or mercenaries to lower their voices and discuss.

"Those who are young can ride third-order demon beast mounts, and you can see that the clothes they are wearing are all high-grade goods, these people must be disciples of a certain great family."

"Look at you, the woman walking in the middle is so beautiful, she is simply a fairy in the sky, my Wang Ergou swears, she is definitely the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life, and the beauty is almost suffocating me."

"Hey, aren't the four people walking behind the four leaders of the Black Panther Mercenary Regiment, strange, they look like they are people in the moment."

"I just heard that the leader of the Black Panther Mercenary Regiment suddenly came back last night, could it be that among the few people riding the third-order demon beast mount, is there the leader of the Black Panther Mercenary Regiment?"

"I heard that the leader of the Black Panther Mercenary Regiment is very strong, and he is also very young, so it shouldn't be the young man who walks in the front."

"I seem to have heard someone say this morning that the one-armed man of the leader of the Anti-Heaven Mercenary Group was abolished by the head of the Black Panther Mercenary Group, and the rest of the masters were also killed by the people of the Black Panther Mercenary Group, and now the Anti-Heaven Mercenary Group has been disbanded, I just don't know if it's ......true."

Chen Ning and the others rode the third-order demon beast mount all the way through the street in a high-profile manner, and wherever a few people passed, there was a buzzing discussion all around, but for this phenomenon, Chen Ning and the others were deaf, and they were used to seeing the scene of attention.

Several people soon came to the City Lord's Mansion, and Kyle immediately stepped forward to negotiate with the guards guarding the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and said, "The leader of our Black Panther Mercenary Regiment has come to visit the City Lord, hurry up and inform him!" ”

The Black Panther Mercenary Group has a great reputation in Peach Willow City, and when the guards guarding the door heard that it was the head of the Black Panther Mercenary Group, they immediately did not dare to slack off, and immediately divided a few people to welcome everyone in, and at the same time went to inform the city lord.

As soon as the city lord of Gutong received the news of Chen Ning's personal arrival, he quickly put down the things in his hand and came out to greet him in person, and after the two sides exchanged a few words of greeting, Chen Ning and several people were invited to the main hall by the city lord of Gutong with a warm face.

"Brother Chen Ning, I didn't expect you to come to my City Lord's Mansion in person, it really made my City Lord's Mansion shine." The city lord of Gutong said with a smile, his expression was not very enthusiastic.

Chen Ning's gloomy face had already returned to normal, and he smiled lightly: "I have nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, and this time I came here because I hope that the city lord can help you." ”

"Hahahaha, Brother Chen Ning, you are so polite, what do you need from me, although it is said, with our friendship, why be so polite." The Gutong City Lord laughed.

Chen Ning pondered for a while, and said: "City Lord, a few days ago, our Black Panther Mercenary Group obtained a cub of a fourth-order demon beast, but unfortunately it was stolen by a powerful mysterious person in one night, and also killed a veteran of our Black Panther Mercenary Group, although our Black Panther Mercenary Group has spent a lot of effort to find the whereabouts of this mysterious person, but there is no clue, so I hope that the City Lord can assist our Black Panther Mercenary Group and strive to find out the murderer as soon as possible!" ”

"No problem, Brother Chen Ning, don't worry, I will immediately send someone to search the whole city and fully assist you in finding the murderer." The city lord of Gutong waved his hand and agreed without hesitation to cooperate with Chen Ning to arrest the murderer.

"Then it's going to be a trouble for the city lord." Chen Ning arched his hand and smiled.

The city lord of Gutong said with a smile: "It's not troublesome, it's just a small matter, Brother Chen Ning, although my Gutong is more than 20 years older than you, if you don't mind, let's call each other brothers, in the future, Brother Chen Ning will definitely do his best to help you." ”

Hearing this, Kyle, Arthur, Wu Tian, and Guo Jia snorted coldly in their hearts, and their eyes were full of disdain when they looked at the Gutong City Lord.

Although they didn't know what kind of realm Chen Ning's strength had reached now, since Chen Ning could even take out the earth-level mystical technique, how could his strength be underestimated, the position where such a strong person stood was completely different from the small city lord of Gu Tong.

"City Lord, other matters, let's talk about it after the murderer is found, this murderer killed a veteran of my Black Panther Mercenary Regiment, no matter who he is, I Chen Ning will never let him go, so now I am desperate to find this murderer in my heart." Chen Ning said in a light tone, which was tantamount to rejecting the intention of the Gutong City Lord to make friends.

Although Chen Ning refused, the Gutong City Lord was also unmoved, and said with a smile: "Since Brother Chen Ning is so anxious to find the murderer, then the elder brother will definitely do his best to help you, at least in this peach willow, there is nothing that the elder brother can't solve." ”

After that, the Gutong City Lord immediately found a soldier and said with a serious face: "You quickly go and inform the commander of Wei Jie, and let him lead a city defense army to search Taoliu City and pay close attention to the unidentified foreign masters." ”

"Subordinates obey!" The soldier answered, and then stepped back.

"Wait!" Chen Ning suddenly spoke, and said: "City Lord, it is not so troublesome to find the murderer, that mysterious master is masked, none of us know what he looks like, but one thing is for sure, that mysterious master is for the cub of the fourth-order demon beast, so we should focus on finding the cub of the fourth-order demon beast, so the goal of finding it is much greater." ”

"Yes, yes, that's right!" The city lord of Gutong said with great approval; "Brother Chen Ning is still smart, he came up with a good way so quickly, so to find it, the difficulty is indeed much smaller, that mysterious master is here for the fourth-order young beast, he will definitely not discard the young beast, as long as the fourth-order young beast is found, it is equivalent to finding the murderer."

"What the City Lord said is extremely true, as long as you find the fourth-order young beast, it is equivalent to finding the murderer who killed the elder of my Black Panther Mercenary Group, and the news here is the most well-informed, I don't know that in the days when the fourth-order young beast of my Black Panther Mercenary Group was lost, the City Lord has news about the fourth-order young beast here." Chen Ning stared at the Gutong City Lord with a light smile.

The Gutong City Lord's face was very natural, he sighed lightly, and said: "Brother Chen Ning, you really think too highly of my brother and me, although I am well-informed, but I can't find out about everything, as for the matter of the fourth-order young beast, I don't know, brother, perhaps, the mysterious person who stole the young beast has already left our Peach Willow City." ”

"Leaving Peach Willow City? Are you sure? Chen Ning muttered in a low voice, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and said, "Everyone come with me!" Saying that, Chen Ning didn't greet the Gutong City Lord, and walked straight out of the main hall.

Looking at the back of Chen Ning leaving, the face of the Gutong City Lord changed a few times, and he quickly regained his calm, hurriedly chased out, and said enthusiastically: "Brother Chen Ning, why did you leave so quickly, it is better to sit here for a while if you are too lazy to come here once, and the elder brother will immediately prepare a banquet to celebrate the triumphant return of the Chen Ning brothers from the City of Mercenaries." ”

"Who said I was leaving, I just wanted to take a turn more, Gutong City Lord, if you don't mind, just accompany me for a walk!" Chen Ning said expressionlessly, his tone suddenly becoming indifferent.

"Haha, then let the elder brother be a guide for the Chen Ning brothers, brother, the garden is over there, let's go to the garden and sit." As he spoke, the Gutong City Lord took Chen Ning's arm and tried to pull it in the direction of the garden.

Chen Ning's arm shook slightly, shaking open the palm of the Gutong City Lord, and said, "Who said I was going to the garden, Lord City Lord, you should follow me quietly." Chen Ning didn't look at Gu Tong, his tone became very indifferent, and he walked straight towards a small building.

The face of the Gutong City Lord also became a little ugly with Chen Ning's words, but when he saw the direction in which Chen Ning was heading, a look of shock flashed from his eyes, and he hurriedly chased after him, and his tone was slightly deep: "Brother Chen Ning, that is where I rest, what are you doing there." ”

This time, Chen Ning didn't pay attention to Gu Tong at all, Gu Tong wanted to stop Chen Ning from approaching the bedroom where he was resting, but Chen Ning's footsteps were something he could stop.

The Gutong City Lord seemed to be angered by Chen Ning's behavior, the smile on his face had completely disappeared, he stared at Chen Ning with an ugly face, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Ning, what do you want to do, explain your intention." ”

"You'll find out later." Chen Ning sneered, and at this time, he had already come to Xiaolou, directly kicked open the door, and strode in.

The Gutong City Lord's face changed greatly, he dodged to block Chen Ning, and shouted: "Chen Ning, what do you mean by this, this is my City Lord's Mansion, how can I let you come here!" ”

Chen Ning sneered, grabbed the void in his palm, and the majestic Heaven and Earth Xuan Qi quickly gathered in his palm, and then before the Gutong City Lord could react, he suddenly bombarded the ground.

With a loud bang, the entire ground trembled violently, and the house was filled with smoke and dust, cutting off everyone's view.

A strong wind blew through the house, carrying away all the smoke and dust, and when everyone's vision was clear, they saw a large black hole in the center of the house leading to the basement.

Seeing this hole, the face of the Gutong City Lord changed miserably, and the whole person became sluggish.

Chen Ning glanced at the Gutong City Lord with sharp eyes, snorted coldly, and said, "Kyle, Arthur, Guo Jia, Wu Tian, you four go in!" ”

"Yes!" Kyle and the four of them responded, jumping into the hole and into the basement.

After a few breaths, the four Kyles walked out of the basement one after another, their faces became very gloomy, and in the hands of Qingfeng, they were also holding an iron cage one meter square, in which was holding a young beast less than half a meter long, with golden hair, and was curled up in the corner of the iron cage at the moment, staring timidly at everyone.

The city lord of Gutong looked at this scene with a very ugly face, the matter had come to this, and he knew in his heart that he couldn't explain it no matter what, even if he made up a perfect lie, he couldn't hide it, because Chen Ning and the others were not stupid.

The faces of the four Kyles were extremely gloomy, and they stared at the Gutong City Lord with angry faces, and there was an undisguised strong killing intent in their eyes.

"Lord City Lord, it turns out that the mysterious master who infiltrated our Black Panther Mercenary Group that night to steal the young beast was you, and Duo Kang was also killed by you, I can't imagine that the murderer we have been looking for for so long will be the City Lord." Wu Tian gritted his teeth and said, looking at the Gutong City Lord's gaze as if he was a bloodthirsty beast, eager to pick his skin, eat his flesh, and drink his blood.

The whole person of Gutong City Lord was stunned on the spot, at this moment, he couldn't find anything to say, although he wanted to shirk this matter, but thinking of the conversation between himself and Chen Ning before, and the appearance of the fourth-order young beast at this moment, he couldn't find any excuse to quibble.

Chen Ning's words were right, the murderer was going for the fourth-order young beast, as long as the fourth-order young beast was found, it would be equivalent to finding the murderer.

"Gutong City Lord, I didn't expect you to be the murderer who took away the young beast and killed Duokang at the same time, we were too stupid, we should have thought that it was you, because in this Peach Willow City, the great Xuanshi who is most likely to master the mystical technique is only you, the city lord with unknown strength, hateful, hateful, we didn't suspect you before." Guo Jia's face was also full of anger, and his face was full of strong killing intent.

Arthur looked at Chen Ning and said indignantly: "Commander, now that the murderer of Duokang has been found, we must not let him go, otherwise, Duokang will probably die without a blind eye, and we must avenge Duokang." ”

Arthur's words made the Gutong City Lord's face change again, and his eyes began to flicker.

Chen Ning nodded slightly, stared at the Gutong City Lord with an expressionless face, and said coldly: "City Lord, what else do you have to say now." ”

The city lord of Gutong also knew in his heart that there was no point in continuing to quibble, so he simply stopped hiding it and said in a deep voice: "Yes, the person who infiltrated your Black Panther mercenary group that night was indeed me, and the person who stole the young beast was also me, and at the same time, Duokang was also killed by me, but so what, I, Gutong, am the lord of a city in Taoliu City, and an official of the Hun Kingdom, if you embarrass the officials of the Hun Kingdom, then provoke the authority of our Hun Kingdom and be the enemy of our Hun Kingdom, and the people above will definitely not sit idly by." ”

Hearing Gu Tong's words, Chen Ning's eyes were cold, and the corners of his mouth showed a sneer of mockery, and the faces of the Duo people changed, becoming much more solemn, the Xiongnu Kingdom was a behemoth that could not be provoked in the eyes of several of them, and what Gu Tong said made them very jealous in their hearts.

"Gutong City Lord, you think too highly of your Xiongnu Kingdom, and you actually put the Xiongnu Kingdom in front of me, ridiculous!" Chen Ning sneered, with a look of disdain in his eyes.

The face of the city lord of Gutong changed slightly, he originally thought that moving out of the Xiongnu Kingdom would make Chen Ning jealous, but looking at Chen Ning's disdainful appearance, his wishful thinking seemed to have no effect at all.

"Chen Ning, could it be that your Black Panther Mercenary Group still wants to be an enemy of our Xiongnu Kingdom!" The Gutong City Lord shouted loudly, but when he thought of the vague background behind Chen Ning, he felt uneasy in his heart.

Chen Ning's identity is indeed too mysterious in his eyes, at least until now, he doesn't know anything except that he knows that Chen Ning is the leader of the Black Panther Mercenary Group, but Chen Ning's talent and temperament on his body can't be a reckless man who came out of a small mountain village anyway.

"Xiongnu Kingdom, he is not qualified to be an enemy of me Chen Ning, Kyle, tie up this respected city lord for me and take him away!" Chen Ning ordered.

"Yes!" The Kyles also heard from Chen Ning's words that their regiment commander did not take the Xiongnu Kingdom in his eyes at all, and the courage in their hearts at the moment was strong, and they all responded in unison, and at the same time stepped forward to try to capture the Gutong City Lord.

"I see who dares, I am the lord of a city in the Xiongnu Kingdom, and I am the bureaucrat of the kingdom, I see who dares to arrest me!" The momentum of the Gutong City Lord skyrocketed, and he looked at the Kyles without fear, and a two-handed giant sword had already appeared in his hand, intending to resist desperately.

Chen Ning's face sank, and he shouted, "Grab it!" ”

The four of Kyle did not hesitate at all, and at the same time took out their weapons and rushed towards the Gutong City Lord.

The Gutong City Lord's eyes flashed, and he didn't touch the Kyle and the others, the giant sword in his hand suddenly swung out, blasting out a big hole in the wall behind him, and he rushed out of the big hole with a dodge, and shouted at the same time: "There are assassins, the Black Panther mercenary group intends to rebel, all the soldiers listen to the order, and quickly come to exterminate the traitor!" ”

The voice of the Gutong City Lord was so loud that not only all the soldiers in the City Lord's Mansion heard it, but even the people on several streets outside the City Lord's Mansion could hear it clearly.

All the soldiers in the City Lord's Mansion immediately took action, and a large number of soldiers poured in from all over the City Lord's Mansion.

On the street outside, all the people who heard this sound were stunned, and immediately a fierce discussion broke out.

"I heard you right, the Black Panther Mercenary Group actually intends to rebel......"

"The Black Panther Mercenary Group is the most powerful mercenary group in our Peach Willow City, what are they going to do if they rebel......"

"I heard that the leader of the Black Panther Mercenary Regiment came back last night, could it be that their leader has bad intentions......"

"When the demon beasts attacked the city two years ago, the leader of the Black Panther Mercenary Regiment made a great contribution to protecting our Peach Willow City, how could he rebel......"

The words shouted by the Gutong City Lord caused a great sensation, and all the people who heard this voice, whether they were merchants or mercenaries, were curiously and fiercely discussed, and they all expressed their confusion.

In the City Lord's Mansion, in just a few breaths, more than three hundred soldiers had gathered here to surround Chen Ning and several people inside, surrounded by water, while the City Lord of Gutong was standing in the distance and was protected by more than a dozen soldiers, sneering at Chen Ning.

Surrounded by more than 300 soldiers, Chen Ning's group of people did not change their faces, and their expressions were calm and calm, especially the four of Guevara, Dugufeng, Qin Xiao, and Chen Da all looked indifferent, and they didn't look at the soldiers around them, and directly looked at them as if they were nothing.

"Honorable City Lord, I have to say that you are so naïve, do you think that you can get us with these soldiers?" Guevara looked at the Gutong City Lord with a mocking expression.

The city lord of Gutong said in a deep voice: "Indeed, these soldiers can't help you, but don't forget that I still have 100,000 city defense troops in Taoliu City, and your Black Panther mercenary group is plotting against you and intending to rebel, and there will be no place for you in my Xiongnu Kingdom in the future." ”

The Gutong City Lord knew in his heart that Chen Ning would not let him go, so now he was completely out of the way, and he planned to give it a go. The biggest reliance in his heart is the 100,000 city defense troops of Taoliu City.

Once the Black Panther Mercenary Group kills the people of the city defense army, the meaning is completely different from killing an ordinary mercenary and a merchant, which is equivalent to directly fighting the Xiongnu Kingdom, and someone above will naturally come out to deal with them.

According to what the Gutong City Lord thought in his heart, once the Black Panther Mercenary Group committed a big sin, it would be able to carry out the big crime of attempting to rebel, and even if there were people behind them, it would be useless.

"Plotting against us, attempting to rebel, honorable city lord, you have put a big hat on our heads." Guevara grinned, "But you think that will scare us?" ”

"Hmph, a group of traitors, those who are dying are still so rampant, all the soldiers listen to the order, and everyone will be killed!" The city lord of Gutong decisively ordered.

More than three hundred soldiers did not hesitate, and at the same time rushed towards Chen Ning's group.

Guevara sneered, his entire body turned into a pale cyan light and disappeared in a flash, and he had already rushed towards the Gutong City Lord at an incredibly fast speed, and before the Gutong City Lord could react, he came to his side, and his palms were sent out one after another, knocking out all the dozen or so soldiers who were blocking the Gutong City Lord, and then his right hand stretched out and tightly clasped his neck.

The speed of stealing Guevara was so fast that the Gutong City Lord couldn't see it clearly, until a suffocating feeling came from his throat, and Jean made the Gutong City Lord frightened to find that his neck had been firmly held by the other party.

At the same time, Qin Xiao, Chen Da, and Dugu Feng slapped their palms together, and the powerful Xuan power in their bodies shot out through the surging jets of their palms, and the strong energy fluctuations formed a stream of air that all the soldiers rushing around them flew upside down, and many people vomited blood, and they were already seriously injured.

With their half-step Xuan King's strength, it didn't take much effort to deal with this group of weak soldiers.

The city lord of Gutong looked at Guevara with a frightened expression, his face was full of disbelief, he really couldn't imagine that the young Guevara thief Guevara had such strength.

"Brother, the city lord has been captured by me, because what should I do with him, whether to kill or abolish him." Guevara asked at Chen Ning.

Hearing this, the face of the city lord of Gutong changed greatly, and he wanted to say something, but his throat was tightly clenched by the thief Guevara, and he couldn't say anything.

"You can't just execute him so cheaply, first tie him up and take him back." Chen Ning said.

"Okay, but in order to prevent him from playing any tricks, let's injure him first and make him lose his combat effectiveness." With that, the stealing Guevara directly placed a palm on the chest of the Gutong City Lord.

"Poof!" A mouthful of blood spurted out of the mouth of the Gutong City Lord, and he was seriously injured by the random slap of the thief Guevara.

Immediately, the four of Kyle found an iron chain in the City Lord's Mansion to tie up the seriously injured and pale Gutong City Lord, and took them away from the City Lord's Mansion under the witness of hundreds of soldiers, and no one dared to stop them.

"The city lord has been captured by the traitors of the Black Panther Mercenary Group, go and inform the commander of Wei Jie!" Several soldiers hurriedly ran out of the City Lord's Mansion to inform Commander Wei Jie.

The four of Kyle escorted the seriously injured city lord and swaggered out of the city lord's mansion behind Chen Ning.

The fourth-order young beasts that were locked in the iron cage were also taken away, and behind them, a group of injured soldiers followed there with nervous faces, wanting to stop Chen Ning and the others from leaving, but when they thought of the horror of Dugu Feng and the others, they trembled in their hearts, and they didn't have the courage to step forward at all.
