Volume II, Chapter 199: Conversation and Assassination
The people on the burning sea stared at Chen Sheng for a long time before they couldn't help but smile: "Do you know what the replacement of city lords is all about?"
Chen Sheng's eyes lit up slightly, "Is there a turnaround?"
The people on the burning sea smiled, and they were happy to see Chen Sheng's mood rise and fall, and he held the shelf for a long time before he said: "The replacement of the city lord of Haicheng must have the presence of the person from the Dragon Mansion, and the person who represents the head of the Dragon Mansion has a considerable right to speak. ”
"In other words, no matter who wants to take over as the city lord, they can't avoid this dragon mansion master?" Chen Sheng's face was slightly solemn, a dragon mansion master who came out of the dragon mansion at least had a Yuan Ying cultivation.
"Yes, and because of the existence of that little sword, it is very likely that the main person who came to Haicheng this time will be the one who presides over the war. The people on the burning sea looked at Chen Sheng, their faces slightly condensed.
Chen Sheng nodded and said thoughtfully: "In this way, then the connections accumulated by those few people can have very little impact on the head of the Dragon Mansion." ”
Several hall masters are all existences that have been trained in Haicheng for many years, even if they have not seen the people of the Dragon Mansion, they also have their own channels.
The people on the burning sea looked at Chen Sheng and said with a smile: "So, you kid don't have to be sad, Lingyun's matter, I will say a few words in front of that person, as long as he writes it down, there is a lot of hope." ”
Chen Sheng suddenly raised his head and quipped: "It's really cost-effective to talk about my combat exploits." ”
"Come less!" "The people on the burning sea rolled their eyes, they can now be regarded as a friendship of life and death, and naturally their words and deeds are more unscrupulous, "You kid didn't suffer a loss, a heavy weapon cherished by the prince of the Dragon Palace, and he got it like this." ”
Chen Sheng smiled, the reason why he didn't kill Fang Zhen had a deeper meaning.
If he kills the prince of the Dragon Palace outside Haicheng, the nearly 100 gold pills that follow behind him, even if they are just angry, may be made a fuss by the dragon clan and the war will be restarted.
Then the death of the old city lord is really meaningless.
The people on the burning sea were active, and they also figured out this at this moment, glanced at Chen Sheng, and muttered: "You kid don't go to get a hall master, you are really blind to such a good talent." ”
Chen Sheng just smiled, took the lead in going out, and walked down the street with Burning Sea, going to Juhai Street.
Along the way, the latter's face was rather odd.
"What's the matter, guess Xue Lie's identity and go to Xue's house to seek justice?" The Burning Sea Man frowned, if this was the case, he really didn't know where he should stand.
Moreover, he was thinking about whether to rescue Chen Sheng at a critical moment.
In that small-looking courtyard, every small room was inhabited by a powerful Jin Dan or even a half-step Yuan Baby.
A half-dragon slayer like Old Ghost Chen couldn't compare with anyone in this meritorious family at all.
Feeling the anxiety of the people on the burning sea, Chen Sheng had no choice but to stop, "Senior, don't worry, I'm not looking for revenge, I'm just going to chat with Senior Xue, and see another old man." ”
"Old man?" Burning Hai was puzzled, "When did your kid have an old man in Haicheng?"
It's also a guy who lives on Juhai Street.
It's not easy!
The more the people on the burning sea looked, the more they felt that the kid next to him was scheming, and the guys who were trying to fight for the position of the city lord were not enough in front of this kid.
Chen Sheng didn't pay much attention to his chaotic thoughts, and quickly stood outside the door of the Xue family's courtyard, reaching out and knocking on the door.
"You're you again?" The man who opened the door frowned, the Xue family lived in the alleys, and they didn't want to meddle in any affairs in the city, but the young man visited again and again.
Fortunately, the people on the burning sea spoke, and the man didn't drive people away, but just told them to wait, turned around and went in to report.
It didn't take long for the ancestor of the Xue family to bow over, and when he saw Chen Sheng, his eyes lit up, and he quipped: "Isn't this a great hero who saved the Qi Hall Master, how can you be in the mood to come to my Xue family today, shouldn't the old man say something about it?"
Chen Sheng shook his head and smiled bitterly as he told the news of Xue Lie's death.
The old man's expression didn't change much, he just nodded slightly, frowned, and said, "You came here on purpose, you won't just say this." ”
Chen Sheng glanced at the courtyard.
"It seems that there is big news, come in and talk. The ancestor of the Xue family stepped out of the way and raised his eyebrows at the two of them.
The people on the burning sea were like avoiding snakes and scorpions, and waved their hands again and again to refuse, but Chen Sheng said: "I don't want to die one day, it's better to listen." ”
After speaking, Chen Sheng strode into the hospital.
The ancestor of the Xue family looked playful, glanced at the people on the burning sea, and followed closely.
The wooden door, which was not heavy, was not closed.
The people of the burning sea stared at the door as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Hurry up, the old man's door is not a flood beast. The ancestor of the Xue family stood inside the door of the house and said with squinted eyes.
Chen Sheng clasped his hands in his sleeves and looked at the people on the burning sea with complicated faces.
The three of them were relatively silent, and after a long time, the Burning Sea Man seemed to have mustered up enough courage, stepped into the threshold, and then stepped into the house.
The Xue family ancestor smiled even more, and he was very satisfied with his move.
After sitting down, Chen Sheng unfolded the isolation prohibition, only then did he look at the two of them squarely, and said in a deep voice: "Qi Ji may have a problem. ”
"What do you mean?" the Burning Sea Man couldn't help but ask.
The ancestor of the Xue family was the old god, and motioned for Chen Sheng to continue.
Chen Sheng pondered for a moment, and was surprised by Fang Zhen's abnormal actions when he and Xue Lie were rescued from the Crystal Palace.
When he said this, Chen Sheng glanced at the ancestor of the Xue family.
The old man smiled, "Just on the matter, can't my Xue family have a bad person?" Besides, I am not qualified to enter this courtyard, not my Xue family." ”
The Xue family in Juhai Street and the Xue family outside the street are two very different existences.
Xue Lie also had the opportunity to enter the inner family in his early years, but then for some unknown reason, he lost this opportunity, and then transferred to the battlefield to fight.
Hearing this, Chen Sheng was relieved, if the old man spoke out to protect him, he would turn around and leave today, and he might even have to fight.
"Senior Burning Sea, after escaping from Shuifu for a certain distance, I can't see the situation clearly, can you describe the process of Xue Lie and the death of several others?" Chen Sheng looked at the people from Burning Sea.
"The old man can't keep an eye on them all the time. The man on the burning sea rolled his eyes, and after catching a glimpse of the old man's fierce gaze, he frowned and pondered, "If I remember correctly, two of them were in cooperation with Xue Lie and were targeted by the sneak attack of the Water Tribe. ”
"In addition, Qin Qian of the battle hall seemed to be in order to block the sword for Qi Ji, so he was hit by the infant old dragon. ”
As he spoke, the people on the burning sea suddenly felt an extremely vague vein, running through the entire rescue.
Chen Sheng looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "Maybe even the battle of the old city lord may be the means of Fang Zhen, the ninth prince of the Dragon Palace. ”
Hearing this, both of them gasped, if this is the case, then this newly promoted Ninth Highness, the plan and calculation are inevitably too terrifying.
If it is allowed to grow, it will become a big problem in Haicheng sooner or later.
The burning sea man turned his head and said in an unkind tone: "Since you knew that kid was so difficult, you should have killed him directly, and it was a big deal to fight him again." ”
For war, this dragon slayer has always been not afraid at all.
Chen Sheng smiled bitterly: "You are not afraid, I don't want people to poke the backbone and scold, after all, you are the person who is the owner of the mountain, and you are not as lonely as you." ”
"Hey, you kid is a bit like a mountain master?" said the people on the burning sea with disdain, not to mention anything else, just Chen Sheng's appearance of having no hair on his mouth, he didn't look like the head of a sect.
In fact, the Occult Sun Peak is really not Chen Sheng's steward now, he is a complete shopkeeper, and everything on the mountain is handed over to Lu Dastein.
Chen Sheng looked at the ancestor of the Xue family again and asked directly, "Do you know who in the city can fight against Qi Ji?"
The old man smiled playfully and pointed at himself.
"No kidding. Chen Sheng said with a black face.
The old man laughed, "Don't be nervous, even if those guys break their heads, they have to have the nod of the people of the Dragon Mansion." ”
The Burning Sea Man added: "What's more, in order to rescue Qi Ji this time, Haicheng suffered a lot of casualties, and relying on this alone, in the heart of the head of the Dragon Mansion, he has already subtracted a lot of points to this Lord of the Battle Hall." ”
Chen Sheng was stunned, there is still such a thing?
Looking at Chen Sheng's strange face, the people on the burning sea helplessly explained: "Anyway, you are qualified to enter this bureau, can you kid know more about it, I don't know if you will be pitted one day." ”
Chen Shengyi grinned, "It's enough to give people a sword, if the sword is not enough, I still have a fist." ”
The old man looked sideways slightly, looking at this arrogant and awe-inspiring young man, he thought he was a young and old demon, but now it seems that he has a little more youthful spirit.
Very well, this is like a righteous and awe-inspiring chivalrous warrior who dares to expose the darkness in the city.
Otherwise, this old man who has existed for many years really doesn't dare to believe Chen Sheng's words.
The burning sea man's face was strangely tight, he gave a thumbs up, and said angrily: "I really don't know who gave you the courage to beat people to death?"
Although Chen Sheng is almost invincible in the Jindan realm now, if he really wants to meddle in the situation in Haicheng, he will face a real Yuanying Cultivator.
Chen Sheng smiled, said goodbye to the ancestor of the Xue family, and went to see the two who were assassinated.
As soon as Tutang saw Chen Sheng, he began to complain, his left chest was pierced with a cold heart, and the thin man Lin Kui was not much better, and he and Tutang were each lying on a special jade bed.
The chalcedony breath penetrated into the body, slowly repairing the injuries of the two.
Chen Sheng carried a pot of wine, put it in front of Tutang, and said with a smile: "I drank my brother's wine before I went out, and I returned the gift today." ”
Tutang stared at the pot of mellow wine, and asked a person sitting in the corner, "Doctor Yan, can you drink?"
Yan Yun didn't raise his head, "Yes! ”
Tutang was overjoyed and stretched out his hand with difficulty, but the next sentence made him fall into an ice cave.
"Can only drink once, do you drink it or not?"
The palm of his hand froze in the air, Tutang withdrew his hand suddenly, and said with a wry smile: "Don't drink, don't drink." ”
Then, as if he was afraid that Chen Sheng would regret it, he hurriedly said: "Brother Chen, let's say first, this wine is mine, you can't take it back." ”
Chen Sheng smiled dumbly, put a pot of immortal brew containing the breath of the Great Dao into the Qiankun bag, and hung it on Tutang's waist.
