Chapter 699: [I Have Measure]

Early the next morning, outside the stormy war zone of the Manhattan City Exclusion Zone, a woman was looking forward to it.

The woman looked a little tired, for she had been standing here for more than ten hours, staring in the direction of the Yin Wind as if waiting for something.

And the guards of the Gloom knew who she was waiting for, the lord of Manhattan, the lord of the city, their leader.

However, the relationship between this woman and the lord was obviously more intimate than that of them.

Although she is not too beautiful, after all, she is from the Protoss, and the lord can conquer even the women of the Protoss, which is really amazing!

This woman is naturally Jessica, in order to facilitate her movement in the ancient wilderness, she disguised herself as much more mediocre, but the identity of the Protoss still made the guards look at her differently.

In addition to Jessica, there was actually another person who had been waiting for more than ten hours outside the Yin Wind Doom, that was Ellijie, but no one could see her who might be hiding anywhere, as the personal bodyguard of the Dark Pope, now Ye Ling ran into the crack of another dimension, even if she was ordered not to follow, Alyselle would not be able to rest assured.

A middle-aged man who looked very mature and shrewd came to her side, it was Cai Lin, a wise man whom Ye Ling trusted very much: "Miss, you better take a rest, Lord Lord will be fine!"

"No, I'm going to see him come back with my own eyes!" Jessica's tone was calm, but very determined.

"Well, okay then!" Cai Lin was not reluctant, to be honest, he was also very anxious, Ye Ling set him a time of twenty-four hours at the latest, if Ye Ling hadn't come back after this time, he could send someone into the crack of another dimension to find it.

At this time, the alarm horn sounded, which represented the rapid horn sound of the monster invasion, but it made Jessica feel refreshed, because every time the Yin Wind Misfortune was opened, it meant that Ye Ling might come back from the other side.

But this time Jessica was still disappointed, because the dozen or so dark shadows that appeared were monsters in addition to monsters.

Just as the guards had neatly cleaned up all the monsters, Jessica suddenly shuddered as she sensed something.

Immediately after, another black shadow appeared out of thin air not far from her, but it was not a monster, and the guards who saw him shouted in ecstasy: "It's the lord, the lord is back!"

Ye Ling came to Jessica's side: "Hehe, I'm sorry to keep you waiting!"

Jessica breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, just come back!"

Seeing her tiredness, Ye Lingqi said, "You didn't sleep well last night?"

Cai Lin couldn't help but say, "Lord Lord, Miss, she's been waiting for you here for almost a whole day!"

When Ye Ling heard this, he was greatly moved while feeling distressed, and held Jessica's hand and said, "You stupid, I said don't worry, I will definitely come back!"

In normal times, he and Jessica would have to avoid suspicion in front of everyone, but now, he didn't want to do that.

Because this girl is so affectionate to herself!

The secret of the Yin Wind Doom had been solved, but Ye Ling did not let the panicked earth spirits immediately stop those monsters that were about to die from escaping out of the cracks in another dimension.

Although Roger seems to be a tyrant who can afford to let go, if he learns that he gave another city to him for nothing, I don't know if he will feel uncomfortable, and when it comes to political power struggles, it is better to be careful. So Ye Ling told the goblin patriarch to continue to release monsters, but the level of monsters was lower than before, and the number was smaller than before, so that the suppression team would have no pressure to deal with it.

Externally, Ye Ling made a formation in a pretentious way, and claimed that he had spent a lot of energy to curb the appearance of the monsters in the Yin Wind Misfortune with the formation, so as not to make anyone angry.

Ye Ling didn't have many treasures dug up from the hands of the panicked earth spirits, just some rare enchantment materials, but they were not superb, after all, not every crack in another dimension could produce exotic treasures like the fox demon palace like the golden wind and jade dew, as for money, don't be delusional, these panicked earth spirits are very lazy, cultivate monsters, and before they die out and make the next one, they are basically idle, wandering around the streets all day long. There is a water source near the dungeon, there is natural food, and they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, so they are even less motivated.

Such a race that is afraid of death and has no motivation will be eliminated, only this one survived in another dimensional space.

However, Ye Ling was already very satisfied, the army of monsters at hand in the panic earth spirit provided him with the liliang he needed the most, not to mention that these guys could still be cultivated at any time, and their combat power was probably stronger than the subordinates he had now.

The turmoil of Roger's abandonment of the city soon passed, people are easily forgotten creatures, seeing that Manhattan did not cause chaos because of the change of ownership, after a while, some idle brave people who were accustomed to coming here to spend appeared again, and many runaway merchants also returned to the city, and Manhattan was lively again.

After solving the misfortune of the yin wind, Ye Ling was not able to be idle for long, and after a month, some unsettling factors appeared.

When night fell, on the ring street at the edge of Manhattan, two figures appeared, a man and a woman. And the woman is a bewitching beauty shooter, in addition to her beautiful face, the thrilling S-shaped body makes any normal man squirt nosebleeds.

Many people who saw the two of them greeted each other with respect: "Lord Ye Ling, Miss Vanessa, hello!"

Unlike many other lords who are high up and live in luxurious palaces all day long, this lord of Jiuyang, who has just been in office for a long time, is very close, almost every night, he will wander around the streets and alleys of the city, asking about the situation of the city and people, as well as what problems are there, what are the unreasonable places that need to be improved, plus he issued many gratifying policies, so that Ye Ling quickly won the hearts of the people in Manhattan.

Although the administrator is no longer the air envoy Roger, however, this new Lord of the Nine Suns, it doesn't seem to be bad, and you have to admit that in many ways, he even does a better job than the former lord Roger. After all, Roger is the lord of a county or a dozen large and small cities, and he will never be able to listen to the people's sufferings in person like Ye Ling every day.

Ye Ling bowed slightly to the people who greeted him, which was considered a response, but seeing that the lord did not ignore him, those people were very happy, and said in his heart that this lord really didn't have any shelf.

Every day after dark, Ye Ling is used to taking three steps in Manhattan, because being a lord is indeed a bit stressful, and he also needs to relax occasionally, and many times, he will call Vanessa, because these snake demon beauties are very insightful people who can provide them with many valuable advice.

"Brother Ling, have you heard about the frequent disputes in the fringe area of Manhattan recently?" Vanessa's topic came to the point again, and this was another problem that Ye Ling wanted to solve recently.

Moreover, this is not a small problem, if you can't talk about it, another big storm is about to happen in Manhattan!

Nodding, Ye Ling said, "I heard, Sister Vanessa, you're talking about those birdmen in Monterey City, right?"

Monterey City is a fourth-tier city adjacent to Manhattan, and it is owned by Lord Frosthouse along with Barstow, another third-tier city only two hundred miles behind.

This Frost House is a sixth-level lord, unrighteous and evil, and has nothing to do with Ye Ling. However, some of his subordinates in Monterey City are very arrogant, and they always come to Manhattan to play for some reason at these times, just play, and often make trouble after drinking, and some people have already reflected on Ye Ling.

"Yes, don't you think it's not as simple as getting drunk!" Vanessa said. Although Monterey City is a little smaller than Manhattan, their main city Barstow is closer to Manhattan, larger, and the city's economy is more developed, and Frosthouse vigorously specializes in all kinds of Se, gambling, underground violent fighting arenas and other businesses that are easy to attract attention, it stands to reason that if they want to find excitement, it is much more convenient to be in Monterey and Barstow, or their own territory, don't worry about losses, weishenme has to eat enough to run to Manhattan? It's okay to be fresh once or twice, but this week, they're almost every day, isn't it surprising to you?"

Ye Ling smiled slightly, he actually had an idea in his heart, but he said lightly: "Sister Vanessa, if you want to say something, tell me directly!"

Vanessa hesitated for a moment, then said, "I don't think it's an accident, someone instructed them to do this on purpose!"

Ye Ling asked, "Who is it?"

"Their lord, Frosthouse!" Vanessa said, "a few little minions dare to go wild in Manhattan, Mr. Cai Lin has already negotiated with the Monterey City side, but he has always been very tactful, and Frosthouse, who does not interfere with the water of the well in the surrounding territory, does not pay attention to the river water, and those little minions have come to the door even more to find trouble, if it weren't for the nod of Frosthouse, no matter how arrogant they are, they will not come to this point." ”

Ye Ling let out an understated "oh": "Sister Vanessa, then you say, that Frost House weishenme is going to do this?"

"Because he needs to find an excuse, an excuse to start a war!"

Vanessa's words were shocking, but Ye Ling still didn't care, because these were all expected by him, Ye Ling just narrowed his eyes: "Really?"

"In the Ancient Wilderness, you don't need any reason to attack a territory, but if you want to get more support, you need a reason!" Vanessa said eloquently: "Each territory has some subordinate liliang that the lord cannot directly order, such as mercenaries, idle warriors, etc., who will only come to the aid of the lord when the territory is in danger, such as suffering from a star calamity, or when a foreign enemy is attacking. However, if you take the initiative to invade other territories, the lord may not be able to mobilize, but with an excuse, it's different, I think Frosthouse should first provoke the conflict between the two territories, and then let the people on Barsto's side, including mercenaries, have the same hatred, so that he can mobilize more liliang!"

Ye Ling continued to ask, "Sister Vanessa, didn't you say that Frosthouse has always been very tactful, and this time Weishenme will plot against my territory?"

"The lords in such a popular area, I'm afraid there is no one who is not ambitious, but many of them have not shown it, they are just waiting for the opportunity, and now, the opportunity for Frosthouse has come. Vanessa paused: "Even, behind him, there is a bigger black hand, because you are taking over the city that Roger gave up, and the relationship with Roger is also very good, even if House wants to move Manhattan, at least it depends on Roger's face, but now he is so unscrupulous, there must be someone who supports him to do this, and that person, most likely, is Roger's sworn enemy, another big lord!"

A hint of appreciation flashed in Ye Ling's eyes, because the guess of the beautiful archer was almost the same as the analysis of the Fox Demon Empress.

This good sister is really quite smart!

However, he also wanted to hear what the beautiful archer had that was different from the fox demon empress, so he said, "Sister Vanessa, go on!"

"Roger's nemesis, it is likely that he has made an agreement with Frosthouse, what they want to divide more is not a small Manhattan, but the entire empty county, but Manhattan is a key, it is closest to the empty county, if it is snatched down, when the big lord starts a war against Roger, Frosthouse can echo at any time, so that Roger is overwhelmed, and it is difficult to take care of it!"

Ye Ling was about to say something, when he suddenly heard a noise, but it was from a small bar nearby, followed by the sound of strife and scolding, and the sound of cups, tables and stools being destroyed, obviously a fight, and then many people ran out of the bar in surprise.

"Sister Vanessa, let's take a look!" Ye Ling said, and walked quickly to the bar, and as soon as he came to the door, a person was thrown out, lying on the ground in pain, looking at the badge on his shoulder, but it was a Manhattan patrol guard.

Seeing Ye Ling, the guard struggled to stand up, stumbled to his side, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "Leader, Lord Lord!"

"No need to salute!" Ye Ling said in a deep voice, "What happened?"

The guard said indignantly: "It's those guys from Monterey City, they used alcohol to harass the waitress in the bar, we passed by to stop it, they didn't listen to it, but they fought with us, in addition to me, there were several brothers inside, all of them were injured!"

It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!

A trace of coldness flashed in Ye Ling's eyes: "Yes, then I want to see how much they are!"

Walking into the bar, it was already a mess, many tables and chairs had been smashed, the floor was full of glass, all the customers had run out, only the bar owner and a few waitresses were huddled in the corner of the counter, full of horror, the bar owner was scared, and whispered in distress: "Don't fight, my bar!"

Seeing Ye Ling, the bar owner ran out of the counter like a savior, and said with a sad face: "Lord Lord, hurry up and stop them, my net worth is all invested in this bar, if they destroy it, I don't want to live!"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!" Ye Ling patted the bar owner on the shoulder, signaling him not to panic, and then walked over to the hall.

Several of the Manhattan guards were lying on the floor of the bar, their faces covered in blood, some of them unconscious, dead or alive, while the ten guards wearing the badge of Monterey City had not spared them, and kept kicking them.

"The guy who doesn't have long eyes, dares to disturb the uncle's wine, this is the end!"

"That's it, don't you just touch that chick's ass, this kind of sensible jianmin, it's her honor for Lao Tzu to touch her, who let you meddle in your affairs!"

"A broken city, there is nothing to play, it is rare for us nobles from the sixth-level territory to come and consume, even if we don't greet it well, we dare to annoy Lao Tzu, fucking it's just looking for death, and if you don't teach it, you still think you're the big lord's subordinates!"

“......”

Vanessa frowned when she saw this, these people from Monterey City came to stir up trouble before, and it was limited to verbal disputes or relatively light fights, but now the patrol guards in Manhattan were seriously injured by them, and even human lives may occur, the seriousness of this situation has obviously escalated, and it seems that the Frost Lord wants to provoke Ye Ling no matter what.

Ye Ling's face suddenly sank, as gloomy as the dark clouds before the storm came, and it could be seen that he had moved into anger.

Vanessa hurriedly said, "Brother Ling, don't be impulsive, remember what I just told you!"

The current situation in Manhattan is a bit grim, although Ye Ling told her that there is no problem on the side of Yin Wind Doom, but with Liliang in the current territory, if there is a conflict with Frosthouse, it is absolutely unwise to act.

No matter how much he endures, he can't get that excuse.

"Sister Vanessa, I have my own measure!" Ye Ling finished speaking, and walked over.

At this time, a guard holding his head and not yet unconscious saw Ye Ling, and shouted hoarsely with all his strength: "Lord Lord!"

Your Excellency?

The attention of the guards who were beating Ye Ling's subordinates turned to Ye Ling, and one of them came to Ye Ling, looked him up and down, and sneered: "I didn't expect that the lord of Manhattan City would be such a stinky kid, I really laughed at me, ahhaha......"

"Smack!" the laughter came to an abrupt halt as the outrageous Monterey guard flew out, slammed into several tables and fell to the ground, opening his mouth to spat out a mouthful of blood and more than a dozen broken teeth.

The person who made the shot was Ye Ling, and Ye Ling also smiled: "Isn't it funny, then continue to laugh and show me! You are the oldest, and you dare to chirp crookedly in front of Lao Tzu, find a birdman who can talk about things, and the little minion will stand aside!"

The guard had already broken most of his teeth, and he couldn't laugh anymore, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

The sudden shocking change stunned everyone, no one thought that Ye Ling would be mad, and he would be so ruthless, not leaving a little affection for the other party!

This kind of great insult will not be better than killing the guard directly.

Is this what he calls "I have my own measure"? Vanessa was almost dizzy, didn't Brother Ling hear what he meant, and told him to control his emotions and not let Frosthouse take advantage of it?

[Chapter 2, this chapter is long enough, right?]
