Chapter 128: Black Lotus Reappears
Yang Xuanyu looked at Yang Lingxuan, who was sitting in the living room frowning and falling silent, and after a while, he couldn't help but ask softly: "Third sister, what is the origin of that person, why are you so uncertain?"
Hearing Yang Xuanyu's question, Yang Lingxuan finally raised his head slowly, sighed slightly, and then said leisurely: "His name is Lan Feng, he was originally the nephew of the city lord of Snow Cloud City, he has been doted on since he was a child, and he is very keen on power and fame and fortune, and even pays any price for it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info City Lord has no children under his knees, he has always regarded him as his own child, and he has spared no effort to cultivate him, and he also lives up to expectations, not only cultivating to rise steadily, but also his scheming is very outstanding, once upon a time, Xueyun City up and down under his strategy, there is no trace of turmoil, many robbers and gangs outside the city are almost all recruited by him, all the goods that come and go will never be hijacked, I have to admit that he does have something extraordinary, he is a natural strategist. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Lingxuan also had a little admiration, and then continued: "Later, as the power given to him by the city lord became greater and greater, his ambition also swelled, and finally one day he coveted the position of the city lord. So, he united with a group of outsiders of unknown origin and poisoned his uncle with his own hands, preparing to usurp the position of the city lord. It's a pity that he miscalculated, Snow Cloud City is not the city lord's alone, or he doesn't take other people in his eyes at all, and in the end, under the interference of many forces in the city, those outsiders of unknown origin were defeated, and he himself escaped by luck. And I was the one who let him go at the last minute!"
"Why did you let him go in the end?" Yang Xuanyu was stunned.
"I was also soft-hearted for a while, remembering that he had indeed made a lot of contributions to Snow Cloud City in the past, plus he was indeed a rare talent, and his relationship with me was not bad at first, so he let him go!" Yang Lingxuan seemed to regret a little. But Yang Xuanyu obviously felt that the reason was a bit far-fetched, as if things were not so simple.
"Then why does he dare to come back now? Aren't you afraid that others won't be able to spare him because of what happened back then?" Yang Xuanyu was a little puzzled.
"No!" Yang Lingxuan shook his head very decisively and continued: "The reason why he couldn't be tolerated in the first place was because he colluded with unknown people and caused a lot of losses and troubles to Snow Cloud City, and many sects and families in the city suffered a lot of losses, not because he murdered his uncle. ”
"Why is that?" Yang Xuanyu couldn't understand at all.
"This is the human heart! Who is the city lord is actually not too important, people murdering their uncle can only be regarded as their own business, no one will interfere with the righteousness and awe, only when their interests are really touched, these people will wear the hat of justice to defend the so-called righteousness, in other words, if it were not for Lan Feng colluding with outsiders to harm the interests of many forces in the city, even if he designed to kill his relatives and become the city lord, others would only turn a blind eye. Now that five years have passed, the current city lord has nothing to do with him, let alone anyone talking about the past, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, no one will provoke him!"
"Is the human heart really like this?" Yang Xuanyu said with some emotion after listening to it.
"Since ancient times, the human heart has been like this, selfishness, greed, and desire are all human nature, but some people can control it, and some people can't control it. Although your cultivation is not weak, but when you walk outside, the most important thing you should watch out for is people's hearts, you still lack a lot of this, blindly recklessness and kindness sometimes make yourself in danger, do you understand?" Yang Lingxuan admonished softly.
"Third sister, I know!" Yang Xuanyu nodded solemnly.
"What I'm most curious about now is where he's been in the past five years, and what is he trying to do when he comes back this time?" Yang Lingxuan said with some concern.
"Third sister, you think too much! With the lesson of the last time, won't he restrain himself a little! Besides, even if there is any scheme, what does it have to do with us? This is just a dark spot of the Yang family, if something really happens, it's a big deal to choose to give up and leave. Yang Xuanyu said with some disapproval.
"It's not what you think, some things are complicated, and in short, you can't give up here anyway. I hope he won't do anything, right?" Yang Lingxuan shook her head, revealing a little sadness.
"Okay, I hope it's not that you're thinking too much!" Yang Xuanyu could only pout and said helplessly.
In an elegant and elegant high hall in Snow Cloud City, luxurious and gorgeous gauze curtains ripple with the wind, and pillars made of white marble surround the outside of the palace for a whole circle. A crescent moon slowly climbed low into the sky from a corner of the high hall, casting a hazy moonlight in the hall of the high hall.
And at this moment, above the spacious hall, a middle-aged man with a rough face was sitting at the front, and below him, Lan Feng, who was dressed in a red shirt and had a dashing demeanor, was also sitting here.
"City Lord, what do you think about what I said?" Lan Feng said calmly and indifferently.
"Not good! I said Lan Feng, if it weren't for the sake of the previous city lord, I could have punished you today, and you kid still dare to come back? Before I have changed my mind, hurry up and get out of here! Lao Tzu doesn't want to see you bastard boy in Snow Cloud City!" The domineering words came out of the man's mouth, and it could be seen that he was a middle-aged man with a very straightforward temperament.
"Hehe! So, Uncle Bao is not going to cooperate?" Lan Feng turned around the jade ring in his hand, still smiling.
"Good boy, what a big tone! Don't you really think that the position of the city lord should belong to you in the first place? Dare to talk to Lao Tzu in this tone, it seems that you don't have a long memory at all these years!" the middle-aged man's rough face crossed a trace of anger, and he sneered.
"Uncle Bao is wrong about this, if it was five years ago, I would really think so, but now, ......" Lan Feng shook his head slightly, chuckled, but stopped talking.
"You kid has any fart, let it go! I don't have the time to listen to you, if there is nothing else, let me go!" The middle-aged man looked very impatient.
"What he means is that you, the city lord, are not worth mentioning at all, and you are not qualified to bargain!" At this time, a man with a terrifying aura suddenly appeared behind Lan Feng. Suddenly, the entire hall seemed to dim a lot, and even the moonlight quietly receded a little.
"Who is Your Excellency? What a bold man, he dared to appear in my City Lord's Mansion blatantly, didn't he take me in his eyes?" The middle-aged man's pupils shrank first, and then his face sank, and he said coldly.
"To be exact, I didn't take your Snow Cloud City seriously!" the man behind Lan Feng whispered.
"Good boy, no wonder you are so arrogant after you come back, it turns out that you have colluded with people of unknown origin, do you want to repeat the mistakes of the past again?" The middle-aged man was stunned at first, but immediately turned his gaze to Lan Feng, who was casual on the side, and sneered.
At this time, Lan Feng slowly stood up from his seat, looked at him with a little contempt, and said, "Uncle Bao, it's been five years! In the past five years, I have come to understand a truth, that is, only when I am really strong enough can I control the life and death of others. As for strategy, it is just a means to rely on strength, if I had cultivated deep enough, why should I play those painstaking schemes, this city lord should have been mine a long time ago!"
"Hmph, so you're coming back now to prove how strong you are, should the position of the city lord be yours?" the middle-aged man snorted coldly, his face changing.
"Hey, Uncle Bao, you still haven't understood what I'm saying, if I'm really just coveting the position of the city lord, why should I wait for five years. But what I want, you'll see it with your own eyes!" Lan Feng had an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Huangkou Xiaoer, I'll kill you first!" The middle-aged man shouted angrily, and came to Lan Feng with a single step, a layer of terrifying vitality fluctuations appeared on the palm of his hand, and as soon as he pressed down, this series of actions was completed in just half a breath.
And at this time, there was a thunderclap above the middle-aged man's head, and a huge black lotus flower appeared out of thin air, with violent fluctuations in vitality. The middle-aged man's face was horrified, and he only felt a terrifying pressure standing out around him, and then he felt that the surroundings were tight, and his body was trapped under the shroud of the black lotus, and the palms that were slapped out were forced to froze there.
