The conversation between the two made Jiang Mohan know a lot. But at the same time, a lot of questions have arisen, and these issues need to be seriously considered. According to the plan, the power of the entire empire must be controlled without the royal family noticing. This will allow you to extend your hand further to other empires.

Jiang Mohan suddenly thought, in this case, is this Linglang very familiar with this city lord?

Then he asked, "What is your relationship with this city lord?"

Ling Lang shook his head: "We here, we usually rely mainly on border sergeants. This city lord is actually a dispensable being, he himself is not very concerned with other issues, and he is often in retreat. It was quite easy to be the lord of this city, and we rarely saw each other. ”

Jiang Mohan thought about it, and he could see it from the situation of this closing door. The whole city can be said to be quite harmonious, and only such a city will have a gate like Hecang Gate.

During the conversation, Jiang Mohan also had a deep understanding of the current situation. The original academies were actually largely replaced by these Xuanmen.

Jiang Mohan thought for a while and said, "Can you take me to see this city lord?"

The original plan was to get these little Xuanmen first, and replenish the strength of the Holy Gate. After that, they will attack each city lord one by one, but now it seems that such an idea really doesn't work, and Xiaoxuanmen is basically inextricably linked to the city lord of the city where it is located. If you want to prevent future troubles, simply Xiaoxuanmen and the city lord together.

Ling Lang thought for a moment: "It should be possible." ”

"What do you mean it should be possible?" Jiang Mohan said suspiciously.

"Because this city lord is basically in retreat, I haven't seen him for a long time, and I don't know if we can see him. Ling Lang said worriedly.

Jiang Mohan smiled slightly: "That's okay, we'll definitely be able to see it when we go." ”

Jiang Mohan asked some more about the city lord of the capital city on this day, and asked Ling Lang to watch the disciples clean up first.

Zheng looked at Jiang Mohan: "Boss, are you really going to wipe out Xiao Xuanmen and the city lord?"

Jiang Mohan nodded: "Is there any other way now?" or do you have a better way?"

Zheng thought about it for a while, but it really didn't, and then smiled awkwardly.

"Alright, get ready, and when it gets dark, we'll go and meet this master. Jiang Mohan smiled slightly.

"I wonder if this city lord will also be able to handle it very well?" Zheng said after thinking for a while.

Jiang Mohan touched his chin: "It shouldn't be difficult, as the city lord, I think he should be able to touch a lot of things." ”

Jiang Mohan thought very simply, a city lord should know something about the war. Moreover, the city lord is a powerhouse in the Heavenly Realm, and he will definitely pay attention to the affairs of the big war. When the time comes, it shouldn't be very difficult to find a way to take advantage of this and get him to support himself.

The wait is always long, and finally by the evening, Zheng can't sit still. Originally, I was going to cultivate, but when I thought of meeting the city lord soon, my mind would be confused, and I had no intention of cultivating at all. If this had been put aside, I would not have dared to think about it. How could he see such an existence as the city lord. Although the city lord's cultivation is not very strong, his status is high.

I chose to go at night to avoid being known by more people. Just when Zheng was impatient, Ling Lang walked in.

"Hall Master Jiang, shall we go?" Ling Lang said.

Jiang Mohan nodded: "It's still far from the Holy Gate here, in order to ensure that these people from the Hecang Gate can reach the Holy Gate smoothly, you have to take care of it all the way." When you meet the city lord, you turn back and leave with your disciples first, heading to the Holy Gate. ”

Jiang Mohan was very thoughtful, on the one hand, so that the disciples of the Hecang Gate could reach the Holy Gate smoothly, and on the other hand, it was also considering that Ling Lang was not good, if the talks collapsed, it might be difficult for Ling Lang to do it. After all, Ling Lang was born and raised here, and he must have a lot of relatives and friends, Jiang Mohan didn't want to embarrass Ling Lang.

Although Jiang Mohan didn't say it, Ling Lang could still understand what Jiang Mohan meant, and glanced at Jiang Mohan gratefully.

Jiang Mohan smiled: "Let's go." ”

With Linglang to guide the way, it's much easier than finding it yourself. The three of them bypassed a few streets and soon arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Jiang Mohan looked at the City Lord's Mansion in front of him and nodded with a slight smile.

Linglang understood, stepped forward and said a few words to the doorman, and the doorman opened the door directly. Ling Lang turned around and glanced at Jiang Mohan and motioned to follow.

When a few people arrived at the city lord's mansion, Jiang Mohan felt that this city lord was still relatively reliable. It's not as luxurious as the compound I've seen before, and this mansion is quite rustic.

As a city lord who can look at things outside his body so lightly, Jiang Mohan can't help but admire it in his heart. It seems that this city lord is as Ling Lang said, he is dedicated to cultivation, and he really doesn't care much about worldly enjoyment.

"This city lord is still very young, and it is estimated that he is also the youngest city lord in the empire. He was originally an official in the core of the empire, but he only wanted to cultivate, and he didn't pay much attention to many things, so he asked for his order to come to this border city to be the city lord. Ling Lang said.

Jiang Mohan nodded, basically as he thought.

Soon a few people came to the lobby, and the entire City Lord's Mansion seemed to have very few people. I haven't met a few people along the way, if Ling Lang hadn't been here a long time ago, he would have had to look for a long time.

There is only one servant in the lobby who is cleaning up, and it is obvious that people do not come here very often, but they clean up every day.

The subordinate knew Ling Lang, and when he saw Ling Lang coming in with two people, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Is the Lord of Ling Men looking for the city lord?"

Ling Lang smiled: "Xiao Lu has been doing lately?"

The subordinate known as Xiao Lu also smiled: "Okay, sit inside the master of the listening door." With that, he beckoned the three of them to sit inside. Those who don't know must think that this Xiao Lu is the master here.

"Xiao Lu, is the city lord in retreat?" After a while of pleasantries, Ling Lang entered the topic.

"You came just in time today, and the city lord just came out of the customs yesterday. You drink tea first, and I'll report to the district. Xiao Lu smiled.

After Xiao Lu left, Ling Lang looked at Jiang Mohan and said, "There are usually few people in this city lord's mansion, and basically many things are handled by Xiao Lu, the housekeeper. It's usually hard to see the lord of the city, but it seems that we came just in time today. ”

After a while, I saw a sloppy man walk in, followed by Xiao Lu, who had just gone out. Seeing this, Jiang Mohan thought that this should be today's main master.

Ling Lang saw the person who came and hurriedly got up to greet him: "I haven't seen you for a long time, city lord, your cultivation has risen again!"

After a while, Ling Lang felt that the time was almost up, and his task was completed, so he got up and left.

Xiao Lu also knew that there must be a discussion, so he walked out directly with Ling Lang.

Jiang Mohan saw that Linglang had left, and it was time to get to the point. But before he could speak, the city lord spoke first.

"I didn't expect that after a long time, I didn't pay attention to the things outside, and the Holy Gate has undergone such a change, and those old guys will let you, a monk from the Heavenly Realm, be in charge of the Holy Gate?"

Jiang Mohan smiled: "This is completely the love of the sect master and the elders. ”

The city lord nodded: "I don't know what happened when the hall lord Jiang suddenly came to me?"

Jiang Mohan straightened up: "Has the city lord heard of the great battle ten thousand years ago?"

The city lord thought for a moment: "I've heard of some of them. ”

Jiang Mohan smiled slightly: "What if I said that in a hundred years, there would be another big war like that?"

The city lord frowned: "Hall Lord Jiang, please speak up." "As the city lord, he knows a little bit about that big battle, but he is not interested in many other things besides cultivation, so he doesn't know a lot, and now that Jiang Mohan has arrived, he has mentioned this matter again. The city lord could also think that the next thing must be related to that big battle.

Jiang Mohan immediately said some things about the war, of course, there are some aspects that can't be said in full.

"Does Hall Lord Jiang mean to let me support you?" The city lord also understood Jiang Mohan's true purpose for coming to him.

Jiang Mohan nodded: "I'll just say it directly, the gods of the Heavenly Emperor have long taken other empires under their command. The only thing we can't look down on is this Qiuchi Empire, which is also our only breakthrough. We must control the power of the entire continent in our own hands before the next big war comes, so that we can have the strength to fight. ”

Although Jiang Mohan said it was relatively vague, how could he not understand it as a city lord. Jiang Mohan wants to control all the empires in his hands, and this Qiuchi Empire is the first stop. If he hadn't known Jiang Mohan's true identity just now, he would definitely think that this person was crazy.

"Why should I believe you? This is a betrayal of the Empire, have you ever thought about the consequences of betraying the Empire?" the City Lord said slowly.

Jiang Mohan smiled slightly: "You can think about how long it took for the world to recover after the last battle. If I lose the next battle, what will be the result? At that time, it will be a luxury to even live a good life for monks, let alone an empire, and how can there be any empire?"

In a word, the city lord fell into contemplation, such a thing is really too involved. If it is really as Jiang Mohan said, then if the war is defeated at that time, the entire continent will definitely not be the same. But if what Jiang Mohan said was false, then betraying the empire would be endlessly pursued by the empire, which put the city lord in a dilemma.

Jiang Mohan smiled slightly: "City Lord, you don't have to worry too much, as far as we know about this matter, we will definitely not say it." I'm here to tell you about it, and if I want to act, you'll be on my side. If nothing happens, it's not like nothing happened. Where is the talk of betrayal of the Empire?"

When the city lord heard this, he thought about it carefully, and his face softened a lot. In this case, it is the best choice. Because you don't have to make a choice, then there will be no problem.

Immediately, the two looked at each other and smiled, tacitly.

Jiang Mohan also saw that the time was almost up, and after another small talk, he and Zheng left the City Lord's Mansion.

Out of Tiandu City, I didn't go far. Instead, on the street of the ordinary people's gathering area on the outskirts of Tiandu City, he found a restaurant to live in.

As soon as he entered the room, Zheng shook his head: "I really didn't expect that when this city lord first saw it, he felt that he was an ambitious man." But I didn't expect it to be a typical type of wallgrass. ”

Jiang Mohan also smiled slightly: "It shouldn't be, I feel like he's very afraid of the empire." It should be that the empire has some means to control these city lords, and he hesitates because the current strength of our Holy Gate is not enough to confront the empire and curb the means by which the empire secretly controls him. ”

"It shouldn't be. Zheng was confused.

"If you see a few more city lords in the future, you should be able to find clues, if the empire really uses some means to control these city lords, then things will be easier to do. When Jiang Mohan was talking to the city lord, he could clearly feel that he wanted to be on his side, but when it came to betraying the empire, there was an unconcealable jealousy in his eyes.

Zheng still wanted to speak, Jiang Mohan waved his hand: "I'll talk about this matter after seeing a few city lords, you will go and catch a black mulberry person back, I have something to arrange." ”

As soon as Zheng heard this, he was rejoiced, and the men of Heisan followed him when they came out of the holy gate. I got rid of it a few times halfway, but it didn't take long for it to reappear. Zheng really admired Gu Xiaoran, in such a short period of time, he was able to develop Hei Sang so quickly. Although Hei Sang's current strength is not very strong, it is quite powerful to be able to reach such a point in such a short period of time. Then the two looked at each other and smiled, pushed the door and walked out.
