Volume 1 Hanging Sword Between the Eyebrows Chapter 121 City Lord Ping Ningjun

On the way back to Guocheng, the two got to know each other. Zhou Yang also briefly talked about the origin and the fight with Bai Duxue, and didn't say much else. And Bai Ruyi, after getting along for a while, Zhou Yang felt that this was a quiet woman, with a shallow smile on her face, beautiful, very charming, and a little cordial.

If I hadn't seen this Bai Ru manipulating the bronze flying needle with my own eyes, how would I have thought that a beautiful girl, as kind as the little girl next door, would be a master of spiritual power! It's just that her martial arts cultivation doesn't seem to be strong!"

Although the two have met for a short time, Bai Ru has a natural affinity, and her mind is also very exquisite, and when she approached inadvertently twice, she found that Zhou Yang's vigilance was very heavy, even if the two walked together, they still maintained a distance, and Zhou Yang never walked in front of her!

As for what the reason was, Bai Ru guessed it as soon as he thought about it, and he still had a smile on his face, but he didn't stimulate Zhou Yang's guard distance anymore.

"This Zhou Gongzi is a little alert, and his breath is lurking, like a fierce beast hunting in the jungle. It doesn't seem to be a simple character, no wonder Bai Muxue was killed by him as a master of marrow transformation!If there is anything abnormal, he will kill me mercilessly as soon as possible!" Bai Ru is heart gradually valued Zhou Yang, and a spiritual storm unconsciously gathered to communicate with the bronze flying needle for self-protection.

This is her instinctive reaction, the pressure Zhou Yang gave him is really a bit big, even if she has no malicious intent, just like an ordinary person facing a fierce beast, when she feels danger, she will instinctively protect herself first.

"Interesting, interesting, this kind of talent is the best partner, to deal with the White Emperor Sect with sharp claws will be torn to pieces! Killers, fierce people!" Bai Ru secretly gave Zhou Yang such an evaluation.

Killing, ferocious, these two words to describe Zhou Yang, it is very image, Zhou Yang's past, because of hatred, the road of cultivation is full of brutality, and it is also decisive to kill people, and it is even more bloody to the beast clan, the color deepens, and the killing does not stop bleeding.

Bai Ru felt the fierce aura on Zhou Yang's body, and already knew that he was not easy to mess with, but this was just used to deal with the White Emperor Sect and use violence to counter evil!

"The White Emperor Sect is really hateful! It is even more hateful than that white lion beast Bai Wanzun! It is because of the surname Bai that even some scholars in the family are a little unable to raise their heads in the imperial court and are secretly monitored by some people! My brother has been practicing in retreat, and I just took this opportunity to create merits, exterminate the White Emperor cult stronghold, and save the reputation of the Bai family!" Bai Ru thought to himself.

While Bai Ru was talking to Zhou Yang on the road, all kinds of thoughts flashed in his heart, and so did Zhou Yang, but he was mainly on guard and prepared to make a sudden move.

On the way back to Guocheng, there was one more person, Zhou Yang didn't go fast, and when he saw the gate of the Guocheng city wall again, the sky became the same as dusk, dim and gray, but it was not at night but at night.

When I entered the city, there was already the smell of fireworks, and there were gradually more people in the morning.

"It just so happens that the night is over, and Ping Ningjun is also early in office, so let's go visit now to confirm my identity. Bai Ru turned his head to Zhou Yang behind him and said, "After all, I took away your battle results, and a complete marrow transformation body is very rare!

"This is a trivial matter, what I fancy is the method you said about finding the White Emperor Sect's stronghold, if it really works, our mission this time will be completed!" Zhou Yang had already told her the identity of the martial arts student, and he spoke very directly.

The two of them now have a preliminary understanding, and their sense of trust is not strong, and they are testing whether the other party is really sincere and what they say is true.

Verifying identity, Zhou Yang feels that it is still very necessary.

The city lord of Guocheng, few people know his real name, most of them are called by his title, Ping Ningjun, this official position, is one of the top high-level in Qi Yueguo.

A city is equivalent to an army of more than 100,000 people, as well as huge wealth, money and food. If you have ambitions, it is possible to grasp the power and rip the ground. After all, the elite areas within the four countries, the center of the strength of the human race, are all in the city, not in the wilderness.

Most of the people living outside the major cities in Shikoku are farmers, and the land is also a variety of farmland, factories, institutions, and the mountain territories of those forces, etc., etc., and it is not an exaggeration to say that every mile of land has a master. All kinds of existences, mixed with fish and dragons, say that it is a national land, many of which are private territories, among which the families and sects occupy more land than the imperial court.

The city lord, whose identity is the general existence of the feudal officials, is in power, and the title of Pingning Jun is also an honor for him.

The city lord's mansion of Guocheng, it is difficult for ordinary people to approach, in a street on the periphery, there is an army patrolling, fighting some unscrupulous people, to the front of the door, the gate is nailed and copper ring, the momentum is very strong, there are ten people standing guard in front of the door, the eyes are sharp, and it is a heavy guard.

In the city lord's mansion, soldiers wearing armor and weapons walked around, and it was completely a posture where not a single bird could fly in!

"The defense of the City Lord's Mansion is so tight, not to mention the Governor's! Fortunately, when I met Duan Lianghan, I was on the Gobi Avenue, otherwise, it would be too difficult to assassinate under the protection of the guards!" Zhou Yang followed Bai Ru is into the City Lord's Mansion, guarding layer by layer, like an iron pass, if it wasn't for Bai Ru is handing over a token, which was a valid identity certificate after review, it would be really difficult for him to come in.

The City Lord's Mansion gave Zhou Yang the feeling that it was heavily armed, and there were many masters, that is, those soldiers, as soon as they swarmed up, it was not very easy to deal with, and he also found something with divine arrows on some people, such as the barrel-shaped shape of a hundred thorn divine arrows.

The reason why there are such strict means of protection is also because of the depth of the rivers and lakes, and many warriors like to be gentlemen on the beam, which makes the court a headache. There are too many means for warriors to sneak into a place, and this is constantly clashing, and the protection means of the imperial court have also improved.

In fact, in the territory of Shikoku, the territory with the most dead warriors is not the deep mansion compound of those families, nor the location of the major sects, but the royal palace!

The place where the most dead warriors in Qi Yueguo is the Splendid Palace, and it is recorded that there are many famous marrow transformation masters, and there are countless other small miscellaneous fish, kittens, dogs, and shrimps.

Zhou Yang and Bai Ru were taken to a living room, and before the tea time had passed, they heard a hearty and bright voice.

"Is it because of the White Emperor Sect that the White Girl came to my small place! I heard that the Zihua Martial Arts Hall released a task related to the Four Emperors Cult, I knew that the Bai family would not be without action, and I don't know when Brother Bai would come in person!"

As soon as the words fell, a person flashed out.

This man was a gray-haired, bear-waisted, bearded, and dragged man.

The beard on his chin had been pulled to his chest, and when he spoke, his fingers touched his beard, but his eyes were smiling.

"This person is the City Lord of Guocheng, Ping Ningjun!" Zhou Yang looked over.

Just when Zhou Yang's eyes fell on Ping Ningjun, it was slightly stimulated, this Pingning Jun, who had a long beard and gray hair, had already felt it, his steps accelerated, and there was a big gust of wind, and after it blew, he was already sitting on the chair, his back was very straight, the chair was not full, there was a gap, and his body did not collapse at all.

"I've met Lord Pingningjun! My brother is currently in retreat, and I'm in charge outside! This time, the students of the Zihua Martial Arts Hall gathered a lot in Guocheng, but not only did they not scare off those thieves of the White Emperor Sect! They also had even greater ambitions and were preparing for a conspiracy! Last night, this martial arts student, Zhou Yang Gongzi, broke together!" Bai said and pushed Zhou Yang out quietly.

"Are you retreating...... Ping Ningjun's eyes sank for a moment, his gaze changed, and he looked at Zhou Yang.

Ping Ningjun's gaze looked at people, and there was an oppressive momentum. In a sense, this is the pressure of both the military and the official.

At that moment just now, Zhou Yang had already seen that Ping Ningjun knew martial arts, and he was also a martial artist who cultivated qi and blood, coupled with the power in his hands, the momentum he had cultivated for a long time made people face it as if he was really a big bear.

"I've seen Lord Pingningjun below!" Zhou Yang saluted and lowered his gaze slightly.

Ping Ningjun opened his mouth and said: "It's really young and promising! Zihua Wutang is really talented!"

After complimenting him, he said to Bai with a serious expression: "White girl, now that Guocheng has been infiltrated by the White Emperor Sect, there are some masters in the back, as well as divine arrows, talismans and other preparations! If Brother Bai doesn't come, I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with the White Emperor Sect! Even I, now I can only tighten my defense, let those warriors fight, and I can't send troops!"

"My lord works hard! I still give priority to protecting the people! I think that so many martial artists are no longer inferior to the strength of the White Emperor Sect, which makes them dare not do it directly! No matter what, there is only one stronghold around them, not the base camp of the White Emperor Pope!" Bai Ru said very politely.

Ping Ningjun touched his beard and said with great satisfaction: "Those thieves! If you are a traitor to the human race, you can only sneak around, if it weren't difficult to catch, I would have exterminated them a long time ago! I won't let your Bai family's reputation be damaged!"

Bai Ru and Ping Ningjun spoke, some hidden, some winding, and some of them were tempted by Bai Ruyi's brother, in the clouds.

The atmosphere of the conversation was very cheerful, and Ping Ningjun's hearty laughter sounded from time to time.

Zhou Yang also understood the eight meanings of the conversation between the two at most, but he didn't talk much with Ping Ningjun.

In this line, Bai Ru just wanted to gain Zhou Yang's trust, and to clear the relationship with the White Emperor Sect and Bai Muxue and others, but he didn't really ask for help, and after talking for a while, the two came out.

Seeing that Zhou Yang's attitude towards Ping Ningjun was normal, it could be said that he was plain and bland, and he didn't pay much attention to it, Bai Ru said: "This Ping Ningjun is not a simple person, he is a treasure sword of the imperial court! Don't mention the overseas conquest, when he was young, this person was very powerful! He wiped out several cultivation holy places and sect forces! Now that his qi and blood have declined, his strength has regressed, and the forces that have worked hard are still there, it is better not to be offended! Otherwise, this operation will not be able to move an inch!"

"The strength has regressed, the ambition and confidence have weakened, I think the tightness of this kind of guard has been strengthened!" Zhou Yang said with a moving expression.

"There are a few meanings in it, but in Guocheng, you people from Zihua Wutang, as well as other forces, are all on his territory, and every move is clearly monitored! Believe it or not! I won't come here with you, at most an hour at night, the news of my coming to Guocheng will be known by him!" Bai Ru said with deep eyes: "People are old and become fine! In the face of this kind of person, after all, we are still shallow, unlike the master of marrow transformation, which makes people jealous, don't offend if you can!" He wants to use the power of the warriors in the city to deal with the White Emperor Sect, and it does not conflict with our goals!"

"White Emperor Sect Members, how is the White Girl going to find out?" With Ping Ningjun as proof, Zhou Yang also believed in Bai Ruyi's origin and purpose, and the curiosity and impatience in his heart asked directly.

Bai Ru smiled and didn't say explicitly: "Just look at it!"
