Chapter 12: The City Lord's Mansion

Wei Qing didn't expect that in that case, the soul would still be able to remain in the sea of knowledge, but Ye Lei was cultivating the cultivation techniques inherited from Guiguzi, and what would happen was within his comprehension, but what he didn't know was that in fact, even Guiguzi couldn't do Ye Lei.

"Ye Lei, then what realm are you in now?" Wei Qing looked at Ye Lei at this time, Ye Lei's strength did make him a little unpredictable, although it was the realm of the Heavenly Emperor, but being able to fight with the armadillo to that point, coupled with the reversal of Xuan Gong, Ye Lei's true strength may have reached the late stage of the Heavenly Order.

"I don't know, but after this transformation, I feel like I've reached the level of the middle stage of the Heavenly Order. Ye Lei looked at Wei Qing at this time, and when he said this, everyone was stunned, in the middle of the Heavenly Rank, even Zhang Wenyuan had cultivated for so long, but Ye Lei had reached it in just a few decades.

"I have to say, you kid is an out-and-out freak!" Wei Qing looked at Ye Lei at this time and said, "However, it's also a good thing that we have a freak like you in the capital city, by the way, now that you have broken through, can you skillfully control the power of the fifth turn of Xuangong?"

"Skilled control?" When he heard this, Ye Lei also sighed, "Reversing Xuangong doesn't have much to do with my strength progress, Xuangong reversal tests my soul, but this breakthrough, my soul doesn't seem to have changed, of course, there is no breakthrough." ”

"I didn't expect that there were still cultivation exercises that were not related to strength. Wei Qing summed all of this into Ye Lei's cultivation method at this time, but how did he know that even Guiguzi had no way to reverse Xuan Gong, and this was exactly what was needed to reverse Xuan Gong.

"The stronger the strength, the higher the state of mind required for the reversal of Xuan Gong, so although I have made a breakthrough in strength now, it has become more difficult in the matter of Xuan Gong reversal, and only after my soul realm has reached a new height, I may be able to control this power. ”

"Forget it, you are already very powerful now, if you become stronger again, I won't be able to stand you!" Zhang Wenyuan looked at Ye Lei at this time and said, "However, I am still very curious about one thing, that is, captain, you, with your strength, you should be able to kill that armadillo directly, why didn't you make a move at that time?"

In fact, it's not just Zhang Wenyuan, everyone is very confused about this matter, although Ye Lei doesn't want them to do it, but, in that critical situation, Wei Qing can completely ignore Ye Lei to do it himself, but Wei Qing didn't do that, this is actually a little confused by everyone.

"It's useless to tell you about this now, and when your strength reaches my level, you will understand the reason for it. Wei Qing looked at everyone at this time and said, "The reason why I didn't do it must be my own reasons, so you don't have to ask." ”

"What's this, I'm not dead, am I?" Ye Lei looked at everyone at this time and said, in fact, even if Wei Qing didn't say it, Ye Lei had more or less guessed that his master could appear in this place, and moreover, he also prevented Wei Qing and others from saving himself, there must be Guiguzi's own thoughts in this, so Ye Lei didn't ask more.

"But this time, Ye Lei, you can be regarded as making a contribution. Wei Qing looked at Ye Lei at this time and said, "I think from now on, this armadillo should not come to our capital city, for your credit, I am going to take you to a place, of course, there is a person there who should already want to see you." ”

"Ah, I've already traveled almost all over this city, is there anything I haven't been to? Also, who is this person who wants to see me? Since you want to see me, why don't you come to our barracks, but ask us to go by ourselves?" Ye Lei said suspiciously.

"Haha, you kid really doesn't give face, to put it bluntly, the person who wants to see you this time is the city lord of our capital city, you can expel the armadillo demon beast, this time I'm afraid the city lord is going to reward you with some treasures, but seriously, after coming to the city city, even I haven't seen the city lord a few times, Ye Lei, you are really lucky." ”

"See the city lord?" In fact, Ye Lei didn't have any thoughts about this matter, but the city lord of the capital city actually wanted to see him, which was indeed a little surprising to Ye Lei, but it was nothing, after all, he was just going to see a city lord, but when it came to the city lord, Ye Lei clearly saw the flash expression on Zhang Wenyuan's face.

"It seems that it is better to solve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise, this is not a good thing for Brother Zhang. Ye Lei knew that if a martial artist cultivated with a heart of revenge, it was very likely that the final result would be to go mad, but although he wanted to help Zhang Wenyuan, he didn't know much about the city lord of Xudu City, so he couldn't act rashly.

"Brother Zhang, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, you have to be patient. Ye Lei walked to Zhang Wenyuan's side at this time, Ye Lei knew that he had the feeling of hatred in his heart, but it was inconvenient for him to say anything, after all, this thing was clear to the authorities, even if it was useless to say more, it still depended on whether he could think clearly.

"Brother Ye Lei, don't worry. Zhang Wenyuan looked at Ye Lei at this time and said, "I know when I should do something, my strength has not reached that level now, I will be patient a little bit, but if I really come to that day, please don't stop me, this is my only request." ”

"Okay, your words are almost the same, Ye Lei, you will follow me to the City Lord's Mansion, by the way, after all, you are going to see the City Lord, I think it is better for you to change your clothes first. At this time, Ye Lei's body was in tatters, not only stained with bright red blood, but also the impurities left in his body when he transformed.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense when you see the city lord, the city lord is not a good talker, since he wants to see you, it means that he has begun to pay attention to you, but this doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want, you know?" For Wei Qing, who has seen the city lord of the city of Xudu City many times, these are already familiar roads, but he still needs to remind Ye Lei.

"Okay, I know!" Ye Lei looked at Wei Qing at this time, although he also wanted to find a wife for Zhang Wenyuan, but with his current strength, not to mention Wei Qing, even Huo Qubing could easily defeat him, so even if he saw the city lord, he couldn't do anything.

In this way, soon Ye Lei was taken by Wei Qing to the building in the center of the city, the scale of this building is very large, but Ye Lei was not shocked, after all, he often appears in this area, but Ye Lei has never seen what the city looks like.

"Who is coming!" At this time, the two soldiers saw Wei Qing, although they knew Wei Qing's identity, but this was the rule of the capital city, so no matter how many times Wei Qing came here and how familiar he was with these people, he could only go through one situation, but in Ye Lei's opinion, these were relatively fresh.

"Wei Qing, the captain of the escort team, and Ye Lei, the team member, were ordered by the city lord to come to pay a visit, and asked the two to report it. Wei Qing has long been familiar with these things, but no matter how many times she comes, she has to do this, which is also something that Wei Qing is more disgusted with, but because of her status, she can't help it.

"The two eldest brothers haven't seen each other for a long time!" After saying this, the expressions on the faces of the three people became relaxed, but just when Wei Qing and these two people were talking and laughing, Ye Lei carefully observed the buildings here, in this capital city, Ye Lei did not expect that he would be able to see such a familiar building.

"Is there really no connection between the two worlds?" The building that Ye Lei saw at this time was the iconic architectural style of a country in his previous life, but Ye Lei didn't expect to see this style of architecture here, but when Ye Lei looked inside, he was even more shocked.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a world!" Ye Lei looked at the interior of the city in surprise at this time, the city was resplendent in gold, and he couldn't see that this was a city named after the word "Xudu", and the interior of the entire city was basically inlaid with night pearls, and the paved on the ground were all gold bricks.

"Hahaha, it's the first time the little brother has come to the city. At this time, the two guards guarding the gate seemed to be accustomed to this situation, "Be surprised, let me tell you, this is just some of the skin of our capital city, in fact, the city lord's room is the real golden splendor." ”

"You guy is talking again!" At this time, a guard came over, and after scolding the two gatekeepers, he looked at Ye Lei and the two of them and said, "Wei Qing, Ye Lei, you and I can come, the city lord is waiting for the arrival of the two of you in the living room at this time, come with me." ”

"Is it actually a meeting room?" Wei Qing didn't expect that when he usually saw the city lord, he was in the main hall, but this time he chose the meeting room, Ye Lei had no concept of these, but Wei Qing knew that once he came to the meeting room, he really valued Ye Lei.

"City Lord, these two people have brought!" At this time, this person walked to the door of a room and said inside, "Wei Qing, Ye Lei and the others have already brought, Lord City Lord, if you don't have any orders, your subordinates will go to find the city, if there is anything, please ask Lord City Lord for instructions." ”

"Alright, you go down first. At this time, the door of the room opened directly, and at this moment, a middle-aged person was sitting inside, and at this time, this person was playing Go with him, but although Ye Lei didn't understand it very well, he could clearly feel that there was a breath of qi in the chessboard.

"Now that I'm here, I'm here for a while, my game is a bit tricky. The city lord didn't seem to pay attention to Ye Lei and the others at this time, but when they walked into the room, the door closed automatically, but the city lord was still studying the game of chess in front of him.

"It's really hateful, no matter where you go, it seems to be a dead game. The city lord of Xudu looked at the chessboard in front of him at this time, and the white piece in his hand refused to fall, and at this time, Ye Lei actually walked to the front, picked up a chess piece casually, and placed it directly on a blank position in the chessboard.

"Ye Lei, what are you doing, come back quickly!" Wei Qing knew that the city lord's usual hobby was to play Go, but Ye Lei actually made trouble for the city lord, which also made Wei Qing a little panicked, but Ye Lei's face did not show a trace of panic, and his eyes were full of confidence.

"Good chess, good chess!" The city lord of Xudu actually laughed directly at this time, the son that Ye Lei played just now seemed to have solved the problem encountered by the city lord, and at this time, the city lord actually put the white chess in front of Ye Lei, but he played it with the black chess.

At this time, the air was unusually quiet, and the breathing and heartbeat of the three of them could almost be heard, and at the same time, the game between Ye Lei and the city lord officially began, and then the game just now, black and white were originally evenly divided, but at this time, white chess began to go downhill.

"As long as I occupy this piece, you won't have any chance!" At this time, the city lord seemed to have come to the momentum, and walked down directly with the sunspot in his hand, but Ye Lei did not panic, as if he was still arranging his own formation, there were not many remaining positions in the chessboard mountain, but Ye Lei still did not rush to attack.

"Does this kid really know how to play Go?" The city lord looked at Ye Lei at this time, but at this time, Ye Lei was concentrating on playing chess, but when he saw Ye Lei playing chess, the city lord was also stunned, he had never seen a martial artist who could be so concentrated.

"At this time!" At this moment, the chess path in Ye Lei's hand changed, and even the city lord felt a little caught off guard, and at this time, the city lord of Xudu City found that before this, Ye Lei was just laying a trap, and he didn't see it, and he actually got into it directly.

"I didn't expect that Shaoxia is not only excellent in martial arts, but also doesn't let this kind of thing even play chess, it's really powerful, it's really powerful!" At this time, the city lord put down the sunspot in his hand, he knew that he had completely lost this game of chess at this time, but, for Ye Lei. He was even more curious.

"The city lord has won the prize, and the juniors have just learned Go under the guidance of the master, and it is also Ye Lei's luck to be able to beat the city lord by luck, and he has discovered this method. Ye Lei's words at this time were a little modest, in Ye Lei's previous life, Go was his compulsory subject, and in Ye Lei's previous life, Ye Lei's strength was almost comparable to that of American players.

"Hahaha, Shaoxia doesn't have to be humble, if there are other things, there may be luck, but in terms of playing chess, it is impossible for a lucky person to do this!" ”

In fact, Wei Qing also knew that the protagonist this time was not himself, but he was able to make the city lord so excited just by killing an armadillo, and he had never seen the city lord look like this, but this may have something to do with Ye Lei cracking the game of chess.

"Ye Lei, I am the city lord of this Xudu City, I have generally understood your affairs, I am from the Kyushu Continent, and my teacher is not injured by Ye Wuxian, but your master has long passed away, so you are just a lonely person now, and you are a casual cultivator, but it is also a genius to be able to reach the current state in such a short period of time. ”

"The city lord has won the award, and Ye Lei's ability to cultivate to his current realm is just luck. Ye Lei said at this time, "If it weren't for the help of Ye Lei's partners, I'm afraid Ye Lei wouldn't have had his life to see the city lord today, so everyone is indispensable to Ye Lei's ability to defeat the armadillo." ”

"It's not good, it's good. The city lord looked at Ye Lei at this time and said, "Ye Lei, you also know that there is only one captain Wei Qing in our capital city, but if all the things are handed over to Wei Qing, the burden on Wei Qing's body is a little too heavy, so I have one thing for you to do." ”

"City Lord, please speak, as long as Ye Lei can do it, Ye Lei will definitely do his best!" Ye Lei looked at the City Lord at this time, these polite words learned in his previous life played a great role at this time, "However, Ye Lei still doesn't quite understand what you mean City Lord, could it be that you want me to carry out the mission with Brother Wei Qing?"

"Hahaha, if you go on a mission, you two don't need to go together!" the city lord said, "Now that the guards of my capital city have reached a certain number, I decided to modify some of the establishment on the basis of this number and set up a second squad, and you are the captain of this second squad!"

"Lord Castle Lord, this is a bit inappropriate. Ye Lei looked at the city lord at this time and said, "Ye Lei has just broken through to the middle stage of the Heavenly Rank, and if he becomes the captain like this, he is not as good as your predecessors in terms of qualifications and strength, so I might as well give up." ”

"Hahaha! I don't want you to take charge of those older generation of soldiers, those people have been in my capital city for so long, they have already become old oilers, if you want to manage them, I don't know what moths will appear, but this second team of yours is a team without veterans!"

"Lord City Lord, I don't quite understand what you mean?" Ye Lei looked at the city lord at this time, he didn't know exactly what the city lord was going to say, but Ye Lei had vaguely felt that some martial artists who had just set foot on this big road were being absorbed by the major forces.

"Don't worry, my subordinates will arrange for these new martial artists, and you will be called the second squad, because there is only one thing you have to do, and that is to cultivate to protect me, yes, you heard it right, from today onwards, you are the captain of this second squad!"

"Then Ye Lei is better to be respectful than to obey his fate!" Ye Lei looked at the city lord at this time, and said with a smile, "By the way, the city lord called me here today, I'm afraid it's not just such a simple thing, city lord, if there is anything else, please say it directly, Ye Lei can do it, he must do his best!"

"Ye Lei, I see that you also have a strong talent in playing chess, from today onwards, you will come to play chess with me every day, the time will not be long, half an hour is good. The city lord of the capital looked at Ye Lei at this time and said, "Captain Ye Lei, I don't know if I can agree to this little request?"

"Of course!" Ye Lei didn't expect that the city lord of the capital was just such a simple request, but this was not a matter for himself, and this just provided him with a condition, that is, to investigate the matter of the son of the city lord's mansion, and now Ye Lei has a reasonable enough reason.

"I didn't expect that your kid would become the captain!" After knowing this, Huo Quzhi looked incredulous, but when he knew that Ye Lei's subordinates were all newcomers, he didn't say much.

"Congratulations, Captain Ye!" When everyone learned about this matter, they used this matter to ridicule Ye Lei, but Ye Lei was also very surprised, on the day he just took over, there were so many people appearing, and even some faces he was not familiar with.
