Chapter Twenty-Three: Seeing Honesty at Night
"Okay, I didn't hear the news of his death, why is he gone?" Suddenly, at dawn in the early morning, there was a knock on the door of the Fortune Pavilion.
"Huh?" Feng Xing didn't know who it was, but the moment his mental power was detected, a slight smile appeared on his face.
"Yang Ning?"
The door of the small courtyard opened, and sure enough, it was Yang Ning.
"Little one, where did you die?"
"Well, no, what's your breath?"
"Breakthrough?"
Feng Xing was a little incoherent, looking at Yang Ning in front of him a little tired, he understood.
"Brother Feng." Yang Ning naturally knew that he had been in retreat for three days, and he seemed to be a little anxious and blamed himself.
"Alright, just come back." Feng Xing said a word, and the two entered the main hall.
"Big brother......" Xiao Jiu seemed to hear Yang Ning's voice and ran out of his hut.
The small body trembled a little.
But the moment he saw Yang Ning, he couldn't hide the tears in his eyes.
"Little Jiu ......" Yang Ning hugged the little girl, his heart was also mixed, Xiao Jiu became an orphan at a young age, at this moment, he seemed to have been recognized by her, the only relative in the world, so Xiao Jiu was very sad and very happy.
"Let Xiao Jiu worry." Yang Ning comforted the little girl, although her body was still tired, Yang Ning still sent spiritual power to Xiao Jiu little by little, and sorted out the meridians for Xiao Jiu.
After a while, Xiao Luo fell asleep under the combing of the warm current of spiritual power.
It was quiet.
Fengxing naturally knew the purpose of Yang Ning's doing, and there were some things that were not suitable for the current Xiao Jiu.
"Brother Feng, is there anyone from the City Lord's Mansion?" Yang Ning asked.
Feng Xing looked at Yang Ning, feeling that the person in front of him, who was only half a child in his eyes, had such an intuition after three days of retreat.
"It's here, Manager Shi Ai came the night before, it's a pity that it's ......"
"It doesn't matter." In this breakthrough in strength, Yang Ning believes that as long as he makes a move, he will definitely be satisfied with the City Lord's Mansion, so the line of the City Lord's Mansion must not be broken.
"Visit the City Lord's Mansion tonight." Yang Ning missed the city lord's mansion for his own reasons, so he should come to apologize.
"Okay." Fengxing agreed.
Because of the improvement of Yang Ning's strength, coupled with the fact that Yang Ning also had the 200,000 Celestial Crystals won in the Black Fist Market, under the arrangement of Yang Ning and Fengxing, the formation of the Wealth Accumulation Pavilion was strengthened again.
Looking at the invisible light shield of the Wealth Pavilion, Yang Ning nodded with satisfaction.
Night, always as scheduled.
Without any dragging.
The world gradually turned dark, and as Xiao Jiu fell asleep on the bed, Yang Ning and Feng walked out of the Wealth Pavilion.
"Yang Ning, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for me to go to the City Lord's Mansion......" Feng Xing grew up in Lieyuan City, and because of some later reasons, he even opposed the City Lord's Mansion.
"It's okay, Brother Feng, if the City Lord's Mansion is so small-minded, then why should we cooperate with him." The reason why Yang Ning let Feng Xing go tonight naturally has his own purpose.
All kinds of popular deeds, as the two gradually get acquainted, they also know a thing or two.
In the past, Feng Xing cultivated and could be said to have done a lot of things that caused headaches for the family in Lieyuan City, among them, the Zhong family was naturally the most.
However, Feng Xing's ability is not small, and he has repeatedly let Feng Xing escape, which also leads to the City Lord's Mansion finally having to be wanted at the request of the major families.
However, the popularity is like disappearing during the day, but it is still active in the major families at night, especially the Zhong family, and it has been repeatedly punished, otherwise Yang Ning would not have encountered the popularity.
"But ......"
"Brother Feng, you weren't so hesitant at the beginning."
Yang Ning has heard a lot about the legend of popularity, so he naturally knows some.
"It's a different time, it's an eventful time, I ......"
"Brother Feng, in an eventful season, we don't necessarily have no strength." Yang Ning has never been a person who has lost his self-confidence, not to mention that in Lieyuan City, as of now, Yang Ning has been in contact with many people.
Therefore, Yang Ning has never lacked the confidence to dominate the situation.
The two of them were very fast, and they saw the City Lord's Mansion.
Compared with the City Lord's Mansion during the day, the City Lord's Mansion at night is a little quieter, but Yang Ning also knows that he and Feng Xing still need to work hard to enter the City Lord's Mansion, after all, there is no Shi Ai to guide the way, and the two of them are not familiar with each other here.
The City Lord's Mansion was very well prepared, and at least for this hour, the two of them did not find any flaws in their defenses.
"I'm afraid that this city lord has been bitten by a snake......" Yang Ning complained, but suddenly in front of him, he saw a small door.
The spiritual power of the wind penetrated and did not find any defense.
"No, why isn't there any defense here?"
"Who?" A voice came from within the courtyard walls.
"Huh?" Yang Ning was stunned, how could it be Shi Ai's voice.
However, Yang Ning still responded.
"Yang Ning."
With a sound, the door opened.
"Master Yang, please, please."
Under the leadership of Shi Ai, Yang Ning and Feng Xing entered the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.
Compared with Yang Ning's small courtyard, the City Lord's Mansion is naturally magnificent, but the current Yang Ning is not in the mood to study whether the City Lord's Mansion is magnificent.
"I'll tell the lord of the city." Shi Ai settled Yang Ning and Fengxing, and then walked towards the outside of the room.
After a while, a person came, followed by Shi Ai.
The figure of the person who came was not tall, he looked quite majestic, and his face was in his forties, but there was one thing, that is, the aura of the person in front of him was very strong.
It was like a flash flood and tsunami, overwhelming the mountains and the sea, and it was shrouded towards Yang Ning and Fengxing.
The moment Yang Ning got up, he couldn't help but take two steps back, if it weren't for Fengxing's support, Yang Ning even had a feeling of wanting to worship.
However, it is impossible for Yang Ning to worship.
The visitor looked at Yang Ning, just as Yang Ning observed the visitor.
"Master Yang?"
"City Lord?"
The two spoke in unison.
"Haha......"
"Hehe......"
Again, in unison.
But it was Shi Ai who came behind him who spoke.
Shi Ai said: "It seems that the city lord and this Master Yang have a tacit understanding." ”
The city lord didn't speak, but Shi Ai's words had already clarified the identity of the person who came.
"I've seen the city lord."
Yang Ning and Fengxing just bowed.
"That's welcome." The city lord hurriedly helped Yang Ning up.
"My name is Zhilian." The city lord directly said his name, and he did not use any oppressive means because of Yang Ningxiu's inferiority, and at the same time, his momentum gradually retracted.
"Yang Ning."
"Popular."
Feng Xing also said his name.
Zhilian looked at Fengxing and said, "I know you." ”
There was a nervousness in Fengxing's eyes, he had a certain reputation in Lieyuan City, but compared to the City Lord's Mansion, it was definitely not a good reputation.
Zhilian seemed to see Fengxing's nervousness, and hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, against you, I am also forced to do so." ”
"Maybe in your eyes, the City Lord's Mansion is the strongest force in Lieyuan City, but you don't know that I, the City Lord, don't have the capital to control power at all."
"In the entire Lieyuan City, I believe you also know about Lian Ti, Qiu Su, and a Chuan Yi."
"And I, the city lord, am subject to three people everywhere, and it's hard to say anything." Zhilian said, motioning for the two to sit down.
Shi Ai also understood very well, and disappeared into the room, but quickly turned back.
Then whisper a few words in Zhilian's ear.
After hearing this, Zhilian's eyes were normal, and he continued to say without changing his face: "Lian Ti controls the military power of the entire Lieyuan City, and it can be said that in the entire Lieyuan City, no one can control it. ”
"However, Lian Ti is only dedicated to expanding the territory of the Jiujiang Dynasty, so don't worry."
"However, Qiu Su has to make me jealous."
"And this time I invited Master Yang over, I learned from secret channels that this Qiu Su actually contacted the major families in the city with the intention of attacking my city lord's mansion, which is really bold."
"There are also these families, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead, so this time, I ask Master Yang to make a move, hoping that Master Yang can set up a big array in the City Lord's Mansion, and when the time comes, he will definitely let these local chickens and dogs come and go."
The city lord said, very confident.
But there is a premise for what Zhi Lian said, that is, Yang Ning's formation must not only be completed, but also used to a huge extent.
Therefore, Yang Ning is crucial.
After speaking, he looked at Yang Ning.
"What benefits do we get?" Yang Ning asked very directly, and Fengxing, who was sitting next to Yang Ning, directly felt that Yang Ning was crazy.
"Benefits?" Zhilian was also stunned.
What are the benefits? Zhilian subconsciously looked at Shi Ai.
Shi Ai also shook his head, pretending not to know.
At this time, Yang Ning spoke again.
"City Lord, I think you misunderstood me."
"The benefits I am talking about are not the reward for setting up the formation, I can also set up the formation for the City Lord's Mansion for free, but if the City Lord succeeds, I want 20% of the financial resources of the family in Lieyuan City."
Yang Ning did not shy away from it, and directly stated his purpose.
"Twenty percent?" Shi Ai exclaimed, feeling that the Yang Ning in front of him was either crazy, or he was crazy for lack of money.
The same is true of popularity.
Holding on to honesty also feels a little incredible.
"Hold the Lian City Lord, of course, you have another choice, offset it with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure."
"But the Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure, I have a request, that is, it must be a Spirit Treasure that treats the eyes, otherwise it will ......"
Yang Ning's eyes were not good, although he was in the City Lord's Mansion, he had no fear and spoke bluntly.
"You ......"
Zhilian felt that the person in front of him was a complete madman.
But madmen often do things unexpectedly.
Could it be that this is his surprise.
But soon, Yang Ning heard the taste of the words from Zhilian's mouth.
"You mean, all the families of Lieyuan City?"
"Yes." Yang Ning nodded affirmatively.
"I'm afraid Qiu Su won't agree."
"Qiufu?" Yang Ning smiled slightly and said, "Hold Lian City Lord, don't you have you in Qiu Su?" ”
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing."
Yang Ning pursed his lips and said, "Lord of the Honest City, I don't know how your methods are, but if you can be stable in the border towns, I think your means and courage should be more than that, right?" ”
"You go on." Zhilian felt that the person in front of him was no longer crazy, but completely whimsical.
"Holding Lian City Lord, as long as you can seduce the entire family of Lieyuan City to your City Lord's Mansion, I will let them have no return."
"Are you sure?"
"Non-standard determination." Yang Ning is very confident, in Chenyan's array spirit beads, there are three taboo formations, called the sun, moon, and star punishment array, which is also the most terrifying formation of Chenyan's inheritance, but because it hurts the heavens and harmony, it is called taboo by Chenyan.
The City Lord's Mansion looked at Yang Ning's sworn eyes and fell into deep thought.
Although Zhilian hates the families of Lieyuan City, there is one thing that has to be admitted, that is, these families have made some contributions to the border defense of Lieyuan City, at least in the years they have been in office, the forces of the four major families have not been hostile to Lieyuan City on the surface.
But the ambition of the Jiujiang Dynasty is also the ambition of integrity.
So to a certain extent, Lian Lian and Lian Ti are the same kind of people, but they represent different forces.
Zhilian was silent for a long time, measuring the certainty in Yang Ning's words, but at the same time, he was also weighing the consequences after destroying these families.
After all, this is Lieyuan City, the border of the Jiujiang Dynasty, can it withstand such a change.
Yang Ning was not in a hurry.
The night was long, and the leaves outside the window were blown by the wind.
