readx;? Just a quarter of an hour before Lu Fan chopped off Li Ran's hand with a sword, in the City Lord's Mansion, Li Zheng was receiving three important guests. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It's really Li Zhengzhi's honor for the four princes to come!" Li Zheng said respectfully to a young man in black among the three.

In fact, he was also surprised, although he knew that the Imperial City would definitely send someone over recently, after all, there had been a lot of major events in Qingyang City recently, and it would be strange if there was nothing moving there, but he didn't expect that it would be the Fourth Prince who would come over in person.

It is rumored that this fourth prince is not only a member of the royal family, but also an inner disciple of the Silver Moon Sect, only twenty years old, and he has already broken through to the five-rank realm with a single cultivation, and he can be regarded as outstanding among the inner disciples of the Silver Moon Sect.

You must know that the disciples of a big sect like the Silver Moon Sect are not the same as the casual cultivation like Li Zheng, every disciple of the sect who has achieved cultivation has many secret skills to defend himself, so although Li Zheng is in the six-rank realm, if he really wants to be right, he doesn't dare to say that he can defeat the fourth prince.

And in Li Zheng's induction, the two black-clothed old men behind the four princes revealed that vague aura, which made him a little awe-inspiring, it was the same level of aura as him.

Faced with this situation, Li Zheng naturally put his posture as low as he wanted.

"It doesn't matter. The fourth prince looked quite serious, "You should know what I came here for this time, recently the imperial city learned some news about this side, and I was quite angry, so I specially sent me over to check it out!"

Sure enough, Li Zheng was shocked, but of course he couldn't admit anything, anyway, all the information that was unfavorable to him had already been destroyed by him, even if anyone came to investigate, it was impossible to have any results.

Li Zheng didn't know what the four princes said, and he hoped that the four princes would say it clearly. ”

"Okay, since you don't admit it, I won't beat around the bush, some people above say that you have done a lot of evil in Qingyang City over the years, and you have made Qingyang City into a miasma, and there are many complaints, and some people even accuse you of refining the Blood Demon Pill with living people, but is there such a thing?" the four princes asked sternly.

Hearing the tone of the fourth prince, Li Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, this was obviously a chance to give him a chance to plead, it seemed that as long as he had enough reasons, this level could still be passed.

"There is absolutely no such thing! Fourth Prince, you also know that there are many scattered cultivators in Qingyang City, and many of them have come from other countries, and most of these people are unruly and unwilling to be restrained.

In order to reflect the authority of the Silver Moon Kingdom, Li Zheng had to use some tough means, so that he would inevitably be criticized and framed, and he hoped that the four princes would be aware of it.

As for the Blood Demon Pill, it did appear in Qingyang City, but it had nothing to do with me, but it was done by the people of the Demon Sect.

I believe that the four princes have also heard that a while ago, the witch of the Demon Sect, Manro, suddenly appeared in Qingyang City, and took away the white jade mushroom in the hands of the Qinglian Fairy of the Ethereal Sect, and even killed and injured one of my guards when he left, and the means were extremely cruel.

Afterwards, I felt that there was something strange about the appearance of the witch, so I sent someone to investigate, and sure enough, in a hidden cave in the 100,000 mountains, I found a stronghold of the Demon Sect.

It turned out that the Demon Sect had been operating in the 100,000 Mountains for a long time, and the purpose was for these scattered cultivators who had gone into the mountains to collect medicines, and they not only robbed them of the harvest of these scattered cultivators, but also cruelly used the living to refine the Blood Demon Pill.

I discovered that hidden place, and after finding out the situation, I immediately led people to destroy it, and there, we encountered very stubborn resistance, and even my eldest son, Li Hao, was assassinated to death by a mysterious swordsman in the stronghold.

However, although the mysterious swordsman escaped in the end, we finally destroyed the stronghold, and even captured a large number of Blood Demon Pills that had not yet had time to be transferred.

After destroying that stronghold, I was deeply saddened by the death of my beloved son, and a lot of things happened later, and I couldn't spare it to send this Blood Demon Pill to the Imperial City, and now that the fourth prince is here, I can just hand it over to you. ”

After speaking, Li Zheng took out a jade box from a secret compartment, opened it and presented it to the four princes.

Seeing the entire hundred Blood Demon Pills in the jade box, even the four princes, who were accustomed to seeing rare treasures, couldn't help but breathe heavily.

He didn't hesitate to offend the princes, and rushed here in a hurry, for what, it wasn't these Blood Demon Pills, otherwise he really thought that he would have the heart to deliberately run to this remote barbarian land for the sake of some untouchables?

With these Blood Demon Pills, he will not only be able to quickly improve his cultivation, but also increase his qualifications, and at that time, even those legendary demon geniuses, he will have the confidence to compete with them!

As for Li Zheng's words of reversing black and white, he should be a fart, whoever believes it is stupid, but since Li Zheng knows each other like this, he will not dismantle the cattiness in it.

Anyway, he just lacks a reason to go back and make a difference, and it is a good choice to push everything to the Demon Sect, the reputation of the Demon Sect has always been bad, and he has enough pots on his back, and he doesn't care about this one.

At that moment, he unceremoniously accepted the jade box, and said in a slightly heavy tone: "I see, I am very sad about what happened to Ling Gongzi, City Lord Li will destroy the Demon Sect's stronghold, which can be regarded as a great achievement, and I will report to my father after I go back, so that he can reward you." ”

Seeing the fourth prince say this, Li Zheng was at ease, and he hurriedly said: "All this is what Li Zheng should do, I don't dare to expect a reward, but I have done nothing over the years, and I am quite ashamed." ”

The fourth prince was satisfied that Li Zheng had lowered his posture so low, and he continued: "There is one more thing, it is rumored that there was a peerless genius in Qingyang City a while ago, but is there such a thing?"

Li Zheng's face changed, and he was about to elaborate, when he suddenly heard a faint scream, listening to the voice, it seemed to be his son Li Ran!

Before he could make a closer look, the butler had already hurriedly run in from outside: "Master, it's not good."

"Say!" In a hurry, Li Zheng didn't have time to listen to his nonsense.

"The second son, he was injured at the door, and he was seriously injured!"

Li Zheng's face changed greatly, and he immediately wanted to rush out, but he took care of the four princes.

"Let's go, let's go out and have a look, I also want to know, who is so bold, even the City Lord's Mansion doesn't care, does this still take the royal regulations in his eyes!" The fourth prince has just received a big gift, of course it will not make Li Zheng embarrassed, after all, this person will still be useful in the future.

At that moment, the five people quickly rushed to the door, especially Li Zheng, listening to the scream, his face was extremely gloomy, he decided, no matter who hurt Li Ran, he would break that person's body into ten thousand pieces!

Outside the City Lord's Mansion, Lu Fan had just stabilized the old man's injuries, and at the same time comforted the little girl in his arms softly, so that the little girl who was originally trembling with fright slowly calmed down and hugged him tightly and did not let go.

As for his surroundings, he had already been surrounded by murderous guards in the mansion, and the crowd of onlookers had already retreated far away, for fear of being affected by the pond fish.

On Li Ran's side, he was even more protected by people, and someone had already begun to treat his injuries.

Li Zheng has been sitting firmly in the position of the city lord for many years, and he has collected countless supernatural medicinal materials, plus Li Ran originally had a three-grade cultivation, and soon his injuries stabilized, and the severe pain decreased sharply, but his severed hand was unlikely to recover.

As soon as the pain subsided, Li Ran's monstrous hatred naturally surged up immediately, and he looked at the figure that was still leisurely treating the old man over there, looking like crazy.

"You're dead! You're dead! No matter who you are, your family, relatives and friends, all those who have anything to do with you, you're dead! I'm going to arrest you all and torture you to death! I want you to regret what you did today every day in the days to come, and beg me to kill you!"

Li Ran's voice, with boundless hatred, all the onlookers heard it, and they all felt a chill come out of their hearts.
