Chapter 52: Old Xu's Remorse
Tonight's Yuntang City is extremely bright, and tomorrow morning will be a grand ceremony, and everyone is looking forward to the moment when the darkness disappears and the light arrives.
And in an unknown place, there is about to be a bloody battle, when the darkness is weak, will it be the light or the blood light that will come first?
"Elder Xu, as long as you can find Yayinlan and capture Su Yang alive, I will forgive you for what you did this time. Otherwise, once His Highness personally intervenes, you will not be as simple as giving your life. Huang Quanren was in mid-air, looking down at Xu Lao, looking high.
"Su Yang's cultivation is extremely high, I am not his opponent, let alone talking about being captured alive, but why is His Highness suddenly so interested in this person?" Old Xu covered his chest with his hand, forcibly endured the surging of qi and blood, and said in a deep voice.
"This is not something you should know, if you don't want to die, just be obedient, after all, you have the identity of the City Lord's Mansion to cover up, and our Highness can't bear to see you make the wrong choice. ”
Old Xu secretly scolded in his heart, if he hadn't had some status in the City Lord's Mansion, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago.
But he really underestimated this Huang Quan, although the city king's cultivation is indeed very strong, but Xu Lao always feels that he still has a chance to turn the tables, but if even a mere attendant can kill himself, then how can he talk about confronting the city king?
He was full of remorse at the moment, how could he be confused with these people back then, in the final analysis, it was still the power and wealth that caused the trouble.
His age is not young, and if he doesn't encounter a great opportunity, it will be difficult to make a breakthrough, so he focuses on the second half of his life.
In any case, he can live for a few decades, so he naturally wants to have no worries about food and clothing, glory and wealth, and his cultivation path will be interrupted, and he doesn't want his life to be cut off.
After really coming into contact with the king of the city, Xu Lao began to regret it, the other party was ruthless and suspicious, and it was difficult for him to believe in his loyalty.
He even found that even Huang Quan, who was closest to the king of the city, could not get 100% of his trust, which was equivalent to accompanying the king like a tiger, who knows if he would lose his head because of any accidents.
If he wants to be prosperous and rich, he naturally needs to have a life to enjoy, so he secretly looked for a way out, and did not dare to blatantly ask the Yuntang City Lord to send troops to exterminate him.
Because he is still unsure of the exact location of the city king, once he startles the snake, he will inevitably be killed first.
Perhaps by chance, or perhaps by coincidence, he came into contact with his eldest grandson Comber, who at that time was still a rising star known as a genius, and was only thirteen or fourteen years old.
I don't know why, the city king seems to be very interested in this child, and Xu Lao will think about it as soon as he thinks about it. No matter what the reason for the city king's interest in the eldest grandson Kang Bo, with Xu Lao's understanding of the city king, it is definitely not a good thing.
Although he had only been in contact with the king of the city for less than half a month, his resolute and insidious methods made Xu Lao, who had to go through a lot of things, see his face clearly.
Maybe the eldest grandson Comber is a turning point, a turning point that is enough for Xu Lao to turn the tables. He placed a ban on the eldest grandson Kangbo, making it impossible to improve his cultivation, which was an accident, and his original purpose was only to use the eldest grandson Kangbo to deal with the city king.
Because he secretly observed that the king of the city always sneakily went to meet this child, and once the time came, that prohibition could become the killer of Xu Lao.
But for some reason, soon after that, the number of secret meetings between the city king and the eldest grandson Comber decreased. Xu Lao thought that his deeds were exposed, so he didn't dare to act rashly, and it lasted for several years.
The king of the city has not moved, but the eldest grandson Kangbo has a big reversal in his life and has become a waste in the mouth of Yuntang City.
Although Xu Lao regretted that he didn't seize the opportunity, he also looked forward to it in his heart, maybe the king of the city had some plan, and sooner or later he would contact the eldest grandson Kangbo, so he waited patiently.
But this wait, the waiting time is too long, just when he was about to give up, the city king met with the eldest grandson Kangbo again, although the time was very short, and then there was no intersection, but Xu Lao felt that his hope was rekindled.
And in the near future, there is another Su Yang by the side of the eldest grandson Kangbo, which is equivalent to one more variable, especially when the ban is lifted, so that Elder Xu can no longer sit still.
But at the same time, after understanding Su Yang's strong strength, Xu Lao had other thoughts in his heart, maybe he could use Su Yang's hand to deal with the city king.
This is also the reason why he showed up, but he didn't do anything with Su Yang, this is just his initial plan.
But the plan can never catch up with the changes, especially if he has planned for too long, and he has long lost the right time, place and people, but he still doesn't know it.
When he sighed in his heart that he was old after all, a figure suddenly caught his eye.
"Are you two so interested, admiring the moon here?" Su Yang walked over slowly, smiling on his face.
"Who are you?" Huang Quan was slightly stunned, looking at this uninvited guest, extremely curious.
"You don't recognize me?" Su Yang was also stunned, and said, "Didn't you call me by name just now, didn't you want to capture me alive?"
"Are you Su Yang?!" Huang Quan reacted suddenly, and subconsciously took a step back.
"Are you a ghost-faced person?" After all, it was all speculation before, and there was no ghost face mark on this person's body, so Su Yang always had to make sure again.
"Ghost face?" Huang Quan looked confused, but he quickly understood, ripped off his clothes, pointed to the tattoo on his chest, and said, "You're talking about this, right?"
Su Yang frowned, it was because each of them had ghost faces tattooed on their bodies and clothes, that he was called like this, obviously their group of forces had other names.
"What is the ranking of your Highness?" After confirming Huang Quan's identity, Su Yang smiled again.
"It seems that you have already met a lot of our people, you are really in the Great Zhou, and you have come to Yuntang City, this is really a nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there. ”
Xu Lao was listening, but his frowning brows gradually relaxed, and he even became a little happy. It turned out that Su Yang had a grudge with the king of the city, and this was really a god-helping old man.
It's just that he can't be sure who is more powerful between Su Yang and the City King, and he doesn't dare to stand in line casually for a while.
However, he raised his eyes and signaled to Huang Quan, but he had a ghost idea, and the latter naturally understood it in his heart, but since he met Su Yang, he must not just let him go.
The purpose of Su Yang's appearance was to make a move, he already knew that Huang Quan in front of him was an enemy, how could he sit still and wait to be killed, and he also had to get the whereabouts of 'Ya Yin Lan' from his mouth.
