At the beginning of night, the city lord's mansion was brightly lit.

In the martial arts field in the City Lord's Mansion, a tall figure was constantly hitting the huge wooden stakes made of purple iron wood at this moment.

Purple iron is a peculiar tree species unique to the Huangquan Realm, its own number is scarce, its growth is extremely slow, and its hardness is comparable to that of inferior spiritual weapons, and even harder than ordinary steel. This also makes the value of purple ironwood itself very expensive.

Judging from the size of the purple ironwood stake in front of him, it is obvious that its price is no less than the price of an ordinary low-grade spiritual weapon.

In a series of dull sounds, the sturdy fist of the tall figure kept slamming into the stake one by one. With each punch, the stake of purple iron wood made a sonorous sound like a clash of gold and stone, and the entire stake continued to tremble, obviously receiving a very strong impact.

However, there was no light on that person's body, which fluctuated in the aura.

This person actually relied on his physical strength to beat the purple iron wood in front of him whose hardness was comparable to that of an inferior spiritual weapon.

And judging from the slightly concave pits on the purple ironwood, it is obvious that this wooden stake has been standing here for a long time, and even the surface is covered with fist marks after years of continuous blowing.

A middle-aged soldier in armor had been watching silently, and suddenly, he said to the tall man who was constantly beating the stakes, "My lord. Take a break, you've been practicing for a whole hour today, which is more than you've ever trained before. ”

The tall middle-aged man slammed his strength and struck the stake one last time.

The force of this blow was very strong, and the entire purple iron wood stake was shook, and then, a clear fist mark appeared on the stake.

After the last blow, the tall man looked up at the silver-purple Xuanyue in the sky, with strong muscles, which seemed to be full of explosive power.

After a long time, the tall man withdrew his gaze from the moon, turned his head to the middle-aged soldier and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, you're here." ”

The middle-aged soldier, who was said to be not worried, nodded and handed the tall man a clean sweat towel. "Lord Lu Fu, last time there was news from Emperor Yan City, saying that a newly appointed patrol envoy will arrive in our Cambe City in the near future. ”

Lu Fu was the city lord of this Cambe City, he took the sweat towel, wiped the sweat on his body, and said indifferently: "I already know about this matter. ”

An inland city such as Cambay City is very far away from the city of Yandi.

In this way, to transmit information between the two cities, only 'Feixin Stone' can be used. 'Feixin Stone' can transmit information within 100 miles, and between the major cities of the entire Yama Kingdom, every 100 kilometers, a transfer station is set up, before the previous 'Feixin Stone' energy is exhausted, it reaches the first transfer station, and the first transfer station copies the information, and sends out the second 'Feixin Stone', so through one station after another, until the information is transmitted to the destination.

A message was sent from Emperor Yan City through the 'Feixin Stone', at least it had to go through hundreds of transfer stations, and it would cost hundreds of 'Feixin Stones'.

'Feixin Stone' is extremely expensive because of its high consumption. If it is not very important information, it will not be conveyed by 'Feixin Stone' at all.

The newly appointed Inspector of Luxie County wanted to come to Cambay City to help quell the beast tide, and this information was transmitted through the 'Feixin Stone'.

"As far as I can tell, the Patrol Envoy should arrive soon. Do you need me to arrange for someone to meet you at the city gate?"

This middle-aged soldier named Bu Worry is Lu Fu's deputy general and the deputy commander of the entire Cambe City.

Lu Fu glanced at him indifferently: "Inspector Envoy, hum, it's just a stinky kid." If the beast tide dares to invade my Cambe City, I, Lu, will defend it desperately. They sent this man out of suspicion and distrust of my abilities. ”

Lu Fu's surface cultivation is that in the middle stage of transformation, his actual attack power is close to that of an ordinary late-stage transformation cultivator.

Strong strength and physical tenacity are the things that Lu Fu is most proud of. His body is a very peculiar demon beast - the stone rhinoceros, although it is only an intermediate spirit beast, but the tenacity of its flesh is even better than that of some lower-level immortal beasts that are weaker in physical defense.

This also made him very conceited, so he didn't care much about Shen Chong, an envoy of a county who was airborne from Emperor Yan City, from the bottom of his heart, and even despised it a little.

"Hey~~Your Excellency......" Bu Chou shook his head and sighed: "No matter what, he has the right to directly take over your military power, and it is ...... for you to be polite to the Inspector Envoy."

This Lu Fu is upright and loyal, and his only drawback is that he is too stubborn and competitive.

No matter who you are or how high your status is, as long as your strength is not as good as his, you will be despised by him.

"Okay, don't worry, you don't need to say much about this!" Lu Fu waved his hand impatiently and said, "Didn't you send someone to greet you! This Shen Chong is not a great master, and he still has to do all that kind of pomp and circumstance." ”

One of the people next to him immediately smiled and agreed: "What Lord Lu said is reasonable, sending people to greet him is just formalism, and I can't get used to these imaginary things the most." ”

"Well, that's right. Lu Fu grinned and happily put his arm around the man's shoulder.

The one next to him suddenly pulled out the sword in his waist and shouted at the visitor as if he was facing a great enemy: "Who is coming!!"

Lu Fu was stunned for a moment, looked at the person he was holding, and pushed the other party away violently.

The young man was not annoyed when he was pushed away by Lu Fu, but smiled at the two who were full of vigilance: "Haha~~ City Lord Lu, it's too outward." I was still affectionate like a brother just now, why is it like a ghost at this moment?"

"Who are you?" Lu Fu was the lord of a city after all, and although he couldn't feel the breath of the young man in front of him, he wasn't too nervous, just stared at the other party coldly.

"Hehe, under Shen Chong. Shen Chong arched his hand directly towards Lu Fu.

Lu Fu didn't buy it at all, but sneered: "Shen Chong, oh, it turned out to be the new inspector, who would be like this." ”

The contempt in his words can be heard by anyone.

Shen Chong just smiled, and did not argue with him, but felt as relaxed as if he was at home: "Hehe, City Lord Lu doesn't have to be polite. It's just that the journey is tiring, and I haven't eaten yet, so I'm going to trouble City Lord Lu to arrange it. ”

You're welcome? Who's being polite to you hippie-smiling boy?

The muscles on Lu Fu's face twitched a few times, remembering that the conversation between him and Buchou just now was probably heard by Shen Chong, and his face immediately became even more ugly: "Don't worry, the inspector said that he was hungry, you let the kitchen arrange his dinner, and then take him to the room that has been cleaned to rest." ”

"Yes, sir. Buchou nodded, and saluted Shen Chong: "Lord Inspector, please come with me." ”

"Hehe, okay!" Shen Chong nodded slightly, and shouted to Lu Fu: "City Lord Lu, let's have a glass of water together." ”

Lu Fu said indifferently: "No need, the last general will also inspect the city defenses to avoid being attacked by the beast tide." ”

Lu Fu didn't want to accompany Shen Chong to drink, and he had to cater to Shen Chong like an uncle.

If you have to, it's better to kill him directly.

Shen Chong smiled brightly and said, "Could it be that the City Lord of Lu hasn't heard of it, this beast tide has always only attacked some market towns or cultivation sects outside the city, but it has never attacked the city. The lord of Lu City focused on the defense of the city, but he was afraid that he would lose sight of one or the other. ”

Lu Fu said disdainfully: "If the demon beast leading the beast tide is not stupid, hearing the words of the Inspector, it will presumably change the original strategy tomorrow and attack the city instead." ”

Lu Fu originally thought that what he said was so straightforward, this young inspector should always be angry.

But on the contrary, Shen Chong not only did not get angry, but nodded solemnly, and agreed: "What Lord Lu said is reasonable, and the city defense should not be taken lightly, so as not to be exploited by the beast tide, but it will attract attacks and cause greater losses......

Hmph! Everyone is the same, but he is just a hairy boy who has no opinions. Did he think that if he said something that echoed me, I would be kinder to him?

Lu Fu muttered to himself secretly, but he looked down on Shen Chong more and more in his heart, and he didn't bother to talk to Shen Chong at all, so he turned around and wanted to leave.

Shen Chong's eyes lit up, and he hurried over in three steps and two steps: "Lord Lu, I will check the city defense with you, so I am familiar with it." Don't worry about the general, please make the kitchen not have to prepare dinner, I'll deal with it. ”

As he spoke, Shen Chong took out a big steamed bun from the storage bracelet, stuffed it directly into his mouth and chewed it.

"Hmph~~ Since the patrol envoy insists on this, then please do it. Lu Fu stopped talking nonsense, and walked directly to the outside of the City Lord's Mansion.

It's just that his speed is very fast, and he has almost reached his limit.

He wanted to give Shen Chong a dismount. If Shen Chong can't keep up, when the time comes, in front of him, he will be even more unable to raise his head.

Running all the way and encountering the wall, Lu Fu jumped directly and jumped over. Then, he came to the rooftops of the continuous houses, and jumped on them quickly, rushing towards the city walls.

While running, Lu Fu turned his head and saw that there was no one behind him, and immediately felt complacent: "Hmph, if you want to keep up with Lao Tzu's pace, the patrol envoy, you should go to practice for another hundred years before you dream." ”

Soon, he came to the city wall, and then jumped with all his might, directly from the roof of a house, to the city wall dozens of meters high.

Standing on the city wall, he turned to look behind him again with satisfaction, but his eyes widened suddenly.

Behind him, a young man was smiling innocently: "Hehe, City Lord Lu, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention at first, I lost it." So I had to get here myself. By the way, why did it take you so long to get there and do other things on the way?"

Lu Fu was stunned for a moment, his face was hot, and then he turned around without saying a word and began to inspect the city defense.

Shen Chong didn't talk to himself boringly, but just kept quietly following Lu Fu with an indifferent smile.
