Chapter Fifty-Six: The City Lord's Mansion
At noon the next day, the sun hung high in the sky, sprinkling warmth, pedestrians on the street, noisy and crowded, Zhang Ye walked on the street, his face was calm, but his heart was heavy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
No matter who it is, it is difficult to meet someone who has killing intent for himself and can kill him at will.
The city lord's mansion is located in the middle of the city, beside the Nanqu River, is a first-class mansion in the city, you can see the high-rise buildings in the courtyard from a distance, the guard is strict, people can't help but look at it.
Zhang Ye stopped on the side of the street, looked up at the City Lord's Mansion in the distance, and couldn't help but feel a little heavy in his heart, if Meng Wenhou was not good for him in the mansion, then there was really no hope of escaping at all.
Zhang Ye hesitated in his heart, and then continued to walk forward, regardless of whether Xun Qiu's words could convince Meng Wenhou, but he didn't dare to easily get along with Jiyun Sect, that was for sure.
Before Zhang Ye arrived at the mansion, he saw that the guards at the door were all Qi cultivators, and he couldn't help but be more cautious, he explained his intention to the guard at the door, but he didn't expect the guard to only look at him, and wanted to send him away.
Zhang Ye smiled helplessly, and had no choice but to throw out Xun Qiu's name, and sure enough, the guard's face changed, and he took a closer look at Zhang Ye, and then ran in. Xun Qiu has been a topic that people in the city have talked about a lot these days.
After a while, the guard walked out again and respectfully invited Zhang Ye into the mansion. Zhang Ye hesitated for a moment before following the guards inward.
The layout of the city lord's mansion is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary houses, not to mention all kinds of rare plants and trees, the spacing and height of the pavilions and pavilions in the pavilion are very particular, and even Zhang Ye, a person who doesn't know anything about the formation, can see something unusual.
The guard led Zhang Ye to the hall and retreated, and hot tea was already prepared on the dark brown tables and chairs. Zhang Ye took a few deep breaths, calmed down, didn't look at the layout of the hall, walked to the table, sat on the chair and began to drink tea.
It wasn't until Zhang Ye drank the third cup of tea that he saw someone walking in from outside the hall, wearing brocade clothes and looking deep, it was the leader of the attack on the Tiger Village that night.
Meng Wenhou walked into the hall, walked to the chair on the main seat of the hall and sat down, looked at Zhang Ye, and there was a smile on his face, "You can calm down, and you still have the heart to drink tea?"
Zhang Ye turned his head, but the teacup in his hand was not put down, and he said, "Why should I be so breathless?"
Meng Wenhou snorted, and the smile on his face gradually converged.
Zhang Ye looked apologetic and said: "Such a good tea, but it is the first time I have drunk it, it is inevitable that I can't control my mouth, and I hope that the city lord will atone for his sins." ”
Meng Wenhou stared at him, his eyes gradually showing coldness, as if the smile on his face just now was all hallucination, and said, "Since you took the initiative to come, can you think about how to get out alive?"
Zhang Ye's face did not change, and asked rhetorically, "Does the city lord recognize me?"
"Naturally. Meng Wenhou's words were full of coldness, "There are a total of thirty-four people, and now there are only four of you." ”
After all, Zhang Ye couldn't help but change his face slightly, was silent for a moment, and said, "The city lord has a good memory. ”
Meng Wenhou smiled again, but there was no smile in his eyes, and said, "If you don't say what you mean, there will only be three left." ”
Zhang Ye's face remained unchanged and asked, "I don't know something." ”
"What's the matter?" Meng Wenhou asked.
Zhang Ye said: "I don't know why the city lord wants to deal with my Tiger Village, my Tiger Village is good in the mountains, but I have never offended you." ”
Meng Wenhou asked, "You don't know?"
Zhang Ye smiled: "I naturally know, but those twenty brothers don't know anything, I don't know if the city lord's subordinates know." ”
Meng Wenhou's face sank, his eyes showed murderous intent, and he said, "Are you threatening me?"
Zhang Ye hurriedly shook his head and said, "Naturally not." ”
Zhang Ye raised his head and looked at Meng Wenhou and said, "I just think that their death is a little unworthy." It's not worth losing your life for these 'treasures' that are far away. ”
Meng Wenhou stared straight into Zhang Ye's eyes, Zhang Ye didn't let him go at all, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed, from the fierceness just now to dull, as if it was going to suffocate people.
Meng Wenhou looked away first and asked, "You're not afraid of death?"
"Naturally, I'm afraid," Zhang Ye only felt that the energy in his whole body seemed to have been exhausted in the short time just now, and he only felt extremely tired in his heart, "But I have nothing, so if I die, I will die." ”
"And I'm not going to die. Zhang Ye added.
"Why don't you die?" Meng Wenhou's gaze turned again.
Zhang Ye didn't answer, just looked at him.
Meng Wenhou didn't know what he thought, his eyes weakened, he picked up the tea on the table and drank it, and then said, "Explain your intention." ”
Zhang Ye also picked up the tea and drank it, his face was calm, but he was secretly relieved in his heart, and said, "The city lord naturally knows why I came. ”
"For Xun Qiu?" Meng Wenhou asked.
Zhang Ye nodded.
Meng Wenhou smiled and said, "Why didn't he come by himself?"
Zhang Ye also smiled and said, "The city lord naturally understands. ”
Meng Wenhou snorted, as if he wanted to have a seizure, but found that he had nowhere to attack, and asked, "What did he say?"
Zhang Ye didn't answer again, and asked instead: "The city lord arrested his two brothers?"
Meng Wenhou was stunned for a moment and nodded.
Zhang Ye said again: "But you can't do anything with them!"
Meng Wenhou's face sank, obviously extremely unhappy.
Zhang Ye didn't seem to see it, and asked again: "You don't have Fang Qian's order?"
Meng Wenhou glared at Zhang Ye at a glance, and there was a coercion that shrouded Zhang Ye, Zhang Ye's face suddenly turned pale, and his body trembled, but he was still sitting upright on the chair.
Meng Wenhou said in a low voice: "You should know where you are now!"
Zhang Ye said: "I naturally know. ”
Meng Wenhou snorted, put away the coercion, and thought that Zhang Ye would restrain himself.
Zhang Ye said again: "But you can't catch Xun Qiu!"
Meng Wenhou's eyes jumped, and he almost got up and rushed towards Zhang Ye, but he didn't get up after all.
Meng Wenhou said: "What did he say?"
Zhang Ye's heart also fell with Meng Wenhou's attitude, he was already extremely tired, his face was as pale as paper, and he said, "He is willing to share the treasure of Fang Qianling's order with you." ”
Meng Wenhou's face changed slightly, and he asked, "What does he want?"
Zhang Ye said: "Let the people go." ”
Meng Wenhou was silent for a moment, but shook his head and said, "People can't let go." ”
......
Zhang Ye walked out of the City Lord's Mansion not far away, his body suddenly stumbled, and he almost fell to the ground, the blood in his throat was unbearable, and he squirted out, frightening the pedestrians on the street to scream and scatter.
The coercion of the Jiedan monks was not something that the monks in the early stage of foundation building could resist, and Zhang Ye was still injured after all. Fortunately, the injury was not serious, and after a few days of recuperation, it gradually improved.
After a few days, there was a rumor in the city that the Yin family and the Du family had discovered Xun Qiu's traces and had captured him. Zhang Ye naturally didn't believe it, but after a few days, after the appointed time, Xun Qiu never came again, but Zhang Ye couldn't believe it anymore in his heart.
