Chapter 312: Backbiting
Listening to what Jiang Cheng said, Yang Lin secretly said in his heart, he was afraid that if he concealed it any longer, he would only be the victim, and he remembered that the bald Kong Art had arranged everything carefully, and pushed himself to the tip of Lang.
But when he really faced it, it was that indifferent look, Yang Lin couldn't help sneering secretly in his heart, thinking that Kong Yi was just one of the chess pieces, even if it was important, but it was still a chess piece, and it could still be discarded when it was critical.
"The city lord is really wise, Yang Lin admires, originally I stayed to find a companion, but there has been no news. Later, I was threatened by the Dragon King, so that I was in a dilemma of life and death, and in order to seek refuge, a person appeared and asked me to join the Soul Guard to ensure my safety.
And give me the news, mentioning that my companion was on the island outside the city of no return, and after I risked my life to rescue my companion, when Long Mo chased after me, I could only let my companion go first, and would rather die and deal with Long Mo, and finally was seriously injured and shot down into the sea, and then I didn't know what happened.
It is also possible that this messenger is the murderer who killed Long Mo, and the adult is also very familiar, he is the bald guard beside the adult. ”
"Kong Yi. ”
Jiang Cheng couldn't help frowning, his brows furrowed, thinking that Kong Yi spoke for Yang Lin that day, it really didn't look like his previous style, but for the future development of the city of no return, it was worth it to win over an alchemist.
However, why did Kong Yi kill Long Mo, otherwise this Yang Lin would definitely not be able to escape from Long Mo's hands, even if he sank into the sea, it would be a dead end.
Long Mo died tragically, Ao Ran forced the tower, the city was in chaos, several things were connected, could it be that this Kong Yi was the main person behind this incident, and Yang Lin was just the flint that Kong Yi used to light the fire, it seems that he still needs to find it on Kong Yi.
"When the Jiaolong King came here to ask Long Mo about his death, why were Long You and Long Fu beside him so afraid of you, thinking that the strength of those two demon cultivators could kill you with a snap of their fingers, what was the reason for this. Thinking of the strangeness in the tower that day, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"This matter is a bit of a joke, I have an old relationship with Xuan Mo, the divine beast who guards Dragon Island, so Xuan Mo let me swallow the soul of Longyou Longfu to ensure my safety in Dongshun Kingdom, so these two demons will be extremely respectful to me. ”
"It's no wonder that the Dragon King will forcibly interrogate you, the souls of the two heavy generals under his command are controlled by one person, which is really disturbing. Speaking of this, Jiang Cheng looked at Yang Lin with a slight smile in his eyes, and it was obvious that Yang Lin's chips in Jiang Cheng's heart had increased a few points.
As soon as the words changed, Jiang Cheng's face showed a few doubts again, and he asked softly: "That Xuan Mo has been guarding the Dragon Prison for nearly 10,000 years, and he has never left the East China Sea, with your cultivation, how can you have the same relationship with Xuan Mo's divine beast?"
"It's also a coincidence, I stepped into the door of cultivation, or because of the guidance of Xuan Mo's clansmen, I can be regarded as a teacher, so I talked a few words with Xuan Mo. When he thought of the Xuanye he encountered on the East Corner Mountain, Yang Lin couldn't help but feel sad.
"I see!" Jiang Cheng's face was even more smiling at this time, obviously this was even more surprising to Jiang Cheng, even a surprise.
"Lord City Lord, Yang Lin has a matter, and he still wants to ask Lord City Lord for help?"
Seeing Jiang Cheng nodding, Yang Lin gave a deep salute and asked solemnly: "I don't know the city lord, do you know what the gambling contract between Xuan Mo and the Jiaolong King was?"
"You want to settle the bet for Xuan Mo?"
"Please also ask the lord of the city to fulfill it. Yang Lin saluted Jiang Chengshen again, and then said: "If I can solve this gambling contract, I am willing to go to Prison Dragon Island to persuade Xuan Mo to become an elder of the No Return City, thinking that the No Return City will pull a strong reinforcement." ”
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Cheng's face became solemn again, if he could get Xuan Mo's help, he would definitely be able to make the strength of the No Return City soar, so that Dong Shunguo did not dare to peep into it.
But he offended the Dragon King again, which is a little embarrassing, after all, Jiang Cheng also participated in the events of the year, and if it is said, he is also one of the accomplices.
"Lord City Lord, this matter is due to the Dragon King, if the City Lord can help Xuan Mo get out of trouble, then Xuan Mo will definitely feel the feelings of the City Lord. I think that the chaos in the city is now, all caused by the presumptuous subordinates of the Dragon King, I am afraid that after a long time, it will be difficult to have an accident, and I hope that the city lord will make a decision as soon as possible. Yang Lin saw Jiang Cheng's fundraising intentions and reminded again.
"How sure are you that you can persuade Xuan Mo to be the Elder of the City of No Return for me?"
"Ninety!" Looking at Jiang Cheng's slightly active mentality, Yang Lin said solemnly.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Cheng closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before he spoke: "Back then, I traveled outside the East China Sea and got acquainted with the Dragon King. ”
When he said this, Jiang Cheng sighed again, his face showed a hint of hesitation, although the words were simple, but after saying them, the effect obtained was not necessarily so simple.
It may lead to the destruction of the City of No Return, or it may lead the City of No Return to glory again, looking at Yang Lin's hopeful gaze in front of him, Jiang Cheng flashed a trace of determination.
"Not long after I announced that the city of no return was independent of Dongshun, I received news that the country of Dongshun had gathered a large number of cultivators, and Ning Wuji, the great master of Dongshun, was ready to sweep away my city of no return.
At that time, there were only a few dozen soul guards in the city of no return, and it was really difficult to resist the Xiuzhen army of Dong Dashun, but I couldn't see the city of no return fall into the hands of others again, so I was impatient, so I sent a signal to Jiaolong King Ao Ran for help.
That Ao Ran was also happy, and took the Jiaolong clan and the strange beasts in the sea to the city of no return at the last critical moment, and solved the danger of destroying the city.
One of the Xuanwu Divine Beasts with cultivation of the same level is also among them, and the cultivation is very high, maybe it is above me, it is the Xuanmo that I asked today, the Divine Beast.
Afterwards, I was grateful, and I, Ao Ran, and Xuan Mo sat in the Broken Love Pavilion to drink and have fun, and talked about the development of the city of no return in the future.
In that big battle, the city of no return suffered heavy losses, and depending on Ao Ran's meaning, he also wanted to join the city of no return and find a city lord to do, but the general affairs were still taken care of by me.
Thinking that his two beasts also made a great effort, he couldn't fall behind, so he was also regarded as the city lord of the city of no return, and it could be regarded as a deputy position. It's just that this no-return city is not a big place, and it depends entirely on the trade in the sea to maintain, and most of the monsters in the sea were rescued that time, so you need to choose a character who is familiar with the environment in the sea and can hold it down to manage it.
Ao Ran and Xuan Mo are both familiar with things in the sea, but Ao Ran has lived in the sea for a long time, and they both want to travel by land.
And Xuan Mo was originally a rootless master, accustomed to freedom, and he was not willing to stay in one place, and several discussions did not come to a result, and finally Ao Ran proposed to draw lots to determine who was guarding in the sea, and made an oath on the spot that he would not repent.
As the lord of the city, I am the middleman, and the lot is grabbed by the two beasts. At that time, I also believed Ao Ran's words, and when I was about to draw lots, Ao Ran transmitted a message to me, asking me to do something in the two lots, so that Xuan Mo could guard the sea.
If it is done, Ao Ran is willing to send his subordinates Long You and other demons to stay in the city of no return, as a guard, in order to ensure the safety of the city of no return, if it can't be done, Ao Ran will return to the sea with the demon beasts in the sea, and no longer interfere in the matter of the city of no return.
In contrast, how can Xuan Mo, a divine beast, be compared with the Ao Ran clan, so when I set the lot, I engraved the word 'stay' on both jade slips.
The two beasts looked at each other and smiled, and took a jade slip together, Ao Ran just drank, but Xuan Mo was straightforward, opened it directly, and saw that it was a 'stay' word, and he didn't say much, nor did he look at the jade slip in Ao Ran's hand, drank a stuffy meal, and dispersed.
After a few more days, Ao Ran arranged for Xuan Mo to go to a place, which should be the current Dragon Prison Prison, saying that after a monster beast in the sea made a mistake, he threw it here to imprison, Xuan Mo didn't have to run around, just guarding the Dragon Prison here, and he could suppress those monsters in the sea.
Xuan Mo is also real, and he doesn't want to pay more attention to those mundane things, so he stays in the dragon prison until now, and he thinks that he can't live with it all these years. Speaking of this, Jiang Chengzhi also showed a hint of shame.
Yang Lin listened carefully, thinking about such a small trick, it was really not worth it to trap Xuan Mo in the sea for so long, and quietly put away the sound-absorbing stone, seeing that Jiang Cheng did not mean to blame, Yang Lin told him with interest.
Since Jiang Cheng has told the truth, it is Yang Lin's business whether he can recruit Xuan Mo back, especially whether Xuan Mo is willing to return to the City of No Return and help Jiang Cheng repel Ao Ran.
Exited the Chaoyin Tower, there were soul guards who came with him outside the tower, as well as Jiang Xian, but the faces of those soul guards were abnormal, which made Yang Lin have some doubts in his heart, took Jiang Xian's jade hand, and returned to the mansion, Jiang Xian's face was flushed with surprise, and he couldn't accept it, and he didn't stop it.
At the top of the Chaoyin Tower, the hall where people were still talking non-stop just now fell into silence again, and even the white-haired old man sitting on it seemed to be breathless, motionless.
After a long time, with a sigh, Jiang Cheng slowly opened his eyes, and a jade talisman came out of his hand, revealing a trace of ruthlessness at the corner of his mouth.
Although I told Yang Lin some old things about the past just now, I had to wait for a long time for that Xuan Mo to come to help, but at this time, the city of no return was in chaos, and it was already imminent.
Between a few breaths, the halo of light flashed in the teleportation array in front of the hall, and the bald Kong Yi had already appeared at the door, and he took a few steps to Jiang Cheng, bowing and saluting, with a respectful look on his face.
"Kong Yi, are you the soul guard who joined before or after Dongshun Kingdom's attack on the City of No Return?" Jiang Cheng asked lightly without opening his eyebrows.
Kong Yi couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Jiang Cheng to ask such a question, and hurriedly replied: "Go back to the city lord, and enter the soul guard later." ”
"Where were you doing before that?" was still in an indifferent tone, and there was no trace of meaning.
"Lord Hui, Dongshun Nanxu Gao Peak is the place where I practiced before I came. Speaking of his hometown, Kong Yi's brows frowned even tighter, Jiang Cheng should know where he came from, why did he ask strangely today.
"Do you want to go back to Xu Gao Feng to live, or rather, who to bring back to Xu Gao Feng to live?"
Kong Yi was even more surprised, what is this, and his mood became nervous, and his eyes looked carefully at Jiang Cheng's body, wanting to see the slightest flaw.
