Chapter 51: Conspiracy
Yu Ding originally planned to buy some snacks for Tun Tun, but the city enforced a curfew, and the shops were closed early. Walking on the empty streets, I realized that I had always been alone, and in the end I didn't even have a place to live.
The patrolling soldiers saw Yu Ding walking alone on the street, and the leading soldiers stopped him to check his identity. After Yu Ding took out the identity gem of the yellow-level hunter, the soldiers respectfully let Yu Ding go.
Yu Ding's whole night consisted of these trivial chores, to put it bluntly, idleness and wandering. Yu Ding didn't know if this was what people called loneliness, but he wasn't used to it yet.
The candle flame in Lu Ying's room was also extinguished after Yu Ding left, but Lu Ying sat by the door with her knees crossed, listening to the movement outside the door. There was a man outside the house who didn't leave, and Lu Ying was a little apprehensive. Yu Ding and Han Jinran either escaped from Chao Crocodile's hands, and they didn't give the two of them a good look, which was indeed a little inappropriate.
Summoning up her courage, Lu Ying took out her little blanket. But when I opened the door, Yu Ding disappeared without a trace, leaving Han Jinran leaning on the railing in the courtyard, looking up at the moon, not knowing what he was thinking, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
"Crooked, big man, give you a blanket, don't catch a cold. "It's not Yu Ding, Lu Ying still has a small sense of gap in her heart. But Han Jinran took a lot of care of himself in the Lonely Mountain Range, and Lu Ying returned to the room after handing the blanket to Han Jinran.
Han Jinran also didn't fall asleep all night, and the blanket was carefully held in his hand. I'm a short-lived ghost now, and it's an extremely luxurious thing to talk to any girl I love. Lu Ying's blanket made Han Jinran let go of his obsession.
The next day, Lu Ying pushed open the door, and her blanket was neatly stacked at the door. After asking the guards, Han Jinran and his group left early in the morning.
Today's mercenary city is calmer than usual, no one knows, the top combat power in the city has already been invited by the city lord to discuss matters, the huge room, less than ten people, but all the top combat power in the city.
The four forces are clearly distinguished, the presiding officer is the city lord and Huang Sheng; as the largest gang and chamber of commerce in the city, Jingli, the lord of the Tianxing Pavilion, and Long Qiang, the gang leader of the Howling Dragon Society, although only one person each came, the strength behind them should not be underestimated; and finally the power of the Hunter Guild, I didn't expect the old man guarding the city to be the president of the Hunter Guild, and there were two purple-level hunters who had been famous for a long time sitting beside him. To be able to sit in this kind of meeting, at least have the strength of the Yellow Order of the Martial Virtuous Realm.
But outside the door, there was always a lot of noise, and the city lord called the guards to ask what was going on. I saw that the Dragon Ancestor took the opportunity to jump in and stand behind his grandfather, and the junior senator was a matter of breaking the rules. However, none of the strong people present opened their mouths, and the city lord, as the strongest person in the city, can be said to be the maker of order, and everyone is waiting to see how the city lord will end this farce.
I saw that the city lord was shining with thunder all over his body, and the breath of Wuhou Realm was released, just a look, and the Dragon Ancestor's heel was weak, and he almost fell to the ground. Long Qiang enveloped his grandson with the aura of the Xuanjing Realm of his Martial Virtuous Realm, although he could not compete with the city lord with his own strength, but this time was enough for the Dragon Ancestor to apologize and admit his mistake.
"You really don't take me Lu Mou in your eyes like this, or can you take the place of your grandfather to participate in this meeting," the city lord's voice was wrapped in indifference, seemingly reprimanding the Long Ancestor, but actually holding Long Qiang accountable.
"It's all young people, isn't it them who will sit in this position in the future, what's wrong with getting used to it in advance," waving his hand to signal Sect Ancestor Long to go out, Long Qiang still greeted him with a smile, making people unable to see his thoughts at all, as if it was not himself who lost face.
As a small episode, but the eyes of everyone looking at the city lord were obviously different, and stepping into the Wuhou realm can be said to be a shot in the arm for everyone. As a big hurdle, the Heavenly Rank of the Virtuous Realm is not only a crocodile, but also the strongest person except for the city lord, the old man who guards the city has also been stuck in this realm for more than ten years, and there is basically no hope of breaking through in this life. The status of the lord of the city can be imagined.
The meeting continued, and I saw the city lord push out the black armor and signal everyone to pass it on. Even with the strength of Huang Sheng and the two purple-level hunters, they didn't see what this was. Tianxing Pavilion Lord Jing Li looked at the black armor carefully, his face turned pale, and he obviously recognized what it was. But Long Qiang just glanced at it hastily, and the black armor finally stayed in the hands of the old man guarding the city, and the old man guarding the city cleared his throat, "It is the black armor of the black armor dragon crocodile, and the residual Beast Sage Realm Heavenly Rank aura on it can be distinguished as the three masters of the Lonely Mountain Range."
"Yes, it was left by the crocodile self-destruction," the city lord replied affirmatively, pouring cold water on everyone. Although the forces present have more or less gathered some information, no one has thought in the direction of the three masters of the Lonely Mountain Range.
Jingli is a businessman, although the war can bring more benefits to himself. A powerhouse of the level of Linghu is unscrupulous, once a war is launched. As a high fighter, he must play, but he is afraid that he has a life to make money and no life to spend, "Who killed Chao Crocodile, just hand him over." ”
Obviously, he expected someone to say this, and the city lord snorted coldly, "Now that the spirit beast side bites and kills, it is our human beings who do it, can we hand it over to someone casually, and the strength of the Wuxian Realm is above, will I hand you over?"
Jing Li sneered, "I'm busy with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce every day, and my strength doesn't allow it, so don't laugh at it, city lord." ”
The old man guarding the city threw the black armor to the city lord, "Nine times out of ten, the crocodile was killed this time, and the spirit beasts will not give up easily." But if you bow your head to the spirit beast and make peace this time, there will be all kinds of cats and dogs in the future, and this precedent must not be opened. ”
Each has its own opinions, and several people who are discussing it are in an argument, each with its own reason.
The city lord cleared his throat, "Starting a war is the worst outcome, but we can't be unprepared. Voting to decide whether to make peace or go to war, everyone chooses carefully. ”
The first to vote was Jingli, and the businessman calculated that his life was the most precious. Not surprisingly, he chose to make peace. The other two purple-level hunters are just nominal hunter guilds, and they usually take a lot of money alone, and they are no longer suitable for the life they originally fought for, so they voted for peace.
There is a huge disparity in the number of votes, and Jingli has already predicted the ending. In his own opinion, Long Qiang is also an old fox who cherishes his life, and as long as he votes for peace, he doesn't have to play in person as Gao Zhan.
"We humans are inherently weaker than spirit beasts, and if we give in this time, we don't know what will happen in the future. I choose to vote for Zhan", but I didn't expect Long Qiang to be the first to speak. Jingli's face was a little unsightly, and some words could only be known by himself, and he couldn't put them on the table. But Long Qiang's move was a real eye-opener for him.
The old man defending the city decided to fight the spirit beast from the beginning, and it was not surprising that he chose to fight. Next is the city lord and Huang Sheng, in other words, Huang Sheng's existence as a tool man, it can be said that the city lord has two votes in his hands.
"War", a word in the mouth of the city lord, decided the outcome of this vote. "Of course, this is the worst outcome, as long as I am still the city lord, I will definitely stand in front of our mercenary city and fight for everyone. ”
