57.Chapter 57: Another Reward
In the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Gu Wanfeng, Ye Tianci, and Ye Chen were seated separately, in addition, there were several generals wearing heavy armor and carrying treasure swords in the hall, all of whom were leaders under Gu Wanfeng. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ye Tianci's face was very solemn, after the end of the flower appreciation conference, the entire Fallen Leaf City was surprisingly quiet, but he knew that this kind of quietness was just an illusion, a precursor to the coming storm.
"Lord City Lord, the Ye family's soldiers and martial arts have been arranged, and now they are lurking in the predetermined location, just wait for your order, you can do it!"
"Well, well done! It's not yet noon, and no matter how bold the Xiao Lin family is, they don't dare to act rashly, according to reliable information, their people will not do it until after nightfall. Gu Wanfeng's eyes contained a cold light, and his face was extremely dark.
Ye Tianci nodded slowly and said: "The old man also got the information, they are ready to divide the army into two routes, one way to besiege the City Lord's Mansion first, and the other way after the main army annexes the Ye family, and then the two armies will converge to take the entire Fallen Leaf City." ”
Gu Wanfeng smiled coldly: "Hmph! They thought about it quite thoroughly! It's a pity that all the information has been mastered by us, and at the beginning, the city lord was hesitant to let them live, but now it seems that there is no need for the two of them to exist at all!"
Ye Tianci's heart sank when he heard this, it seemed that Gu Wanfeng had made up his mind to uproot the Xiao Lin family.
"That old man is waiting for the city lord's arrow, as long as the arrow sounds, the soldiers of the Ye family's mansion will immediately start and go straight to the nest of the two Xiao Lin families!"
"Elder Ye, rest assured, this city lord has already planned, and the Xiao Lin family can't afford to make any big waves at all!" Gu Wanfeng nodded heavily, obviously confident, he immediately looked at several generals in the hall: "Gu Lingjun, He Lingjun, Huang Lingjun, Huo Lingjun!"
"The subordinates are here!" the four leaders shouted like a bell, and the hall suddenly became murderous.
"Close the city gate as soon as the sun sets, and no one is allowed to enter or exit, as long as the city lord orders the arrow to sound, you will do it immediately! If the matter is urgent, there is no need to report and act directly!" Gu Wanfeng coldly ordered.
"Subordinates understand!" the four leaders retreated.
After a moment of silence, the murderous intent in Gu Wanfeng's eyes slowly faded, and his face softened.
He clapped his hands lightly, and a handmaid with a delicate face came in, holding a dark red wooden box more than two inches long.
"Ye Chen, this is another reward that the city lord has specially prepared for you, you can see if you are satisfied!" Gu Wanfeng smiled indifferently, and with a slight wave of his hand, the maid sent the wooden box to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen hurriedly got up and thanked him, took the wooden box and opened it, his face couldn't help but change slightly, and a shocked light lit up in his eyes.
In the wooden box lay two crystal clear snow spirit ginseng, much thicker than the two thousand year old ginseng Ye Chen had seen, exuding an amazing heaven and earth aura.
"It's ...... Three thousand years of snow ginseng!" Ye Chen looked at it for a moment and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Thank you, Lord City Lord, for your generous gift!" Ye Tianci was also greatly moved when he heard this, and his eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at Gu Wanfeng.
Ye Chen also suddenly came to his senses, closed the wooden box, and bowed to Gu Wanfeng again: "Thank you, City Lord!"
"It doesn't have to be like this!" Gu Wanfeng smiled indifferently and waved his hand lightly: "This is the reward you deserve, and the old man believes that with the Nine Clouds Orchid and these two three-thousand-year-old snow spirit ginseng, it shouldn't be a problem for you to advance to the martial arts, and then you can go to Zilin County and win glory for my Fallen Leaf City!"
"Don't worry, even if the younger generation arrives in Zilin County, he will not forget the villagers and elders of Fallen Leaf City, let alone the kindness of the city lord!" Ye Chen took a deep breath and said solemnly.
"Well, this city lord believes in his own vision, and you are definitely not ungrateful!" Gu Wanfeng nodded and smiled, his eyes full of appreciation.
Seeing that everything was over, Ye Tianci got up and said goodbye.
At this moment, Ye Chen's body suddenly trembled slightly, and the true yuan in his body showed signs of restlessness.
Ye Tianci's face changed, Gu Wanfeng was also surprised, and the two looked at Ye Chen at the same time, both of them were surprised.
Ye Chen operated the Heaven and Earth Reincarnation Technique, suppressed the restless True Yuan in his body, contemplated himself for a moment, frowned and said with a wry smile: "By the auspicious words of the City Lord, the younger generation has already shown signs of advancement!"
"What?" Ye Tianci's face stiffened when he heard this, but his heart was mixed.
"So fast!" Gu Wanfeng was skeptical, and even a little crying and laughing.
Ye Chen's advancement is said to be a good thing, but the problem is that the timing is not right, now that the big war is imminent, if Ye Chen can't fight, it will undoubtedly be a huge loss for the coalition forces of the Ye family and the City Lord's Mansion.
"Can you suppress the cultivation first, and wait until today?" Ye Tianci frowned and asked with a solemn face.
Before the words fell, Ye Chen's body trembled lightly again, and the true yuan that had just been suppressed became restless again.
Ye Chen spread his hands and smiled helplessly: "The two seniors also saw it, it's not that I don't want to suppress it, but I have no choice but to do it!"
Ye Tianci is also a decisive person, seeing that the matter has come to this, he immediately made a painful decision: "Without further ado, the old man will take Ye Chen back to the house, and then arrange for the elders to protect the Fa, no matter what, we can't delay his advancement!"
"No need!" Gu Wanfeng shook his head and rejected Ye Tianci's proposal without hesitation.
"City Lord?" Ye Tianci's face changed, and he suddenly became anxious.
Ye Chen's advancement is an imminent matter, even if the King of Zilin County comes, he can't stop it!
Gu Wanfeng smiled indifferently and said: "The big war is about to start, I'm afraid your Ye family is not safe enough! One or two elders are not enough to protect Ye Chen, it is better to let him stay in the City Lord's Mansion, there are government soldiers guarding layer by layer, and there is the city lord in charge, so that he can advance safely!"
"City Lord!" Ye Tianci was moved in his heart, the city lord personally protected the Dharma, this kind of treatment is not something that everyone can enjoy!
"Lord City Lord, the juniors can't afford it!" Ye Chen's face stiffened slightly, and he hurriedly waved his hand to excuse himself.
"When you go to Zilin County on the other day, you represent the entire Fallen Leaf City, why can't this city lord make a small convenience for you? Needless to say, this matter is decided!" Gu Wanfeng's face was solemn, and he said undoubtedly.
Ye Tianci and Ye Chen glanced at each other, knowing that it was not good to shirk it, in fact, they were also happy.
From another point of view, Ye Chen's stay here to advance can also play a stable role in the joint front of the City Lord's Mansion and the Ye family, and it can also dispel many of Gu Wanfeng's concerns.
"Then it's better to be respectful, it's better to obey your fate!" The old man is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he will leave!" Ye Tianci bowed to Gu Wanfeng, and said a few more words to Ye Chen, leaving a packet of pills before leaving the City Lord's Mansion in a hurry.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Wanfeng took Ye Chen to a secret room in the backyard, and summoned a few generals to set up layers of guards.
