Monarch of Evernight: Leave people behind under the Five Swords
bsp;All the Gaohu warriors suddenly looked at each other, not understanding this decision. The Gaohu people who work as mercenaries have always maintained good relations with all major forces, and these are all big customers. The Lord of Nanqing City is not strong himself, so he relies more on mercenaries. For the Gaohu people, he is the best kind of customer. Why are you suddenly going to war with him?
However, since it is Zhan Nu's decision, everyone will not have any objections and will prepare their own preparations now.
At this moment Qingyue has contacted several strongholds. After gathering her clansmen, even if the Lord of Nanqing City made a massive move, she would still be sure to fight out of Nanqing City with Qianye. It was only then that she felt a little calmer in her heart.
Qianye and Xiao Zhuji in front were looking leisurely and contented, as if they had not noticed her secret arrangement at all. Qingyue was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She didn't believe that Qianye was so unpredictable that he wouldn't be able to detect her little moves. Now I really don't know what he is planning, whether he is confident, or whether he has planned to borrow the power of the Gaohu people.
At this moment, in the city lord's palace, Ji Rui was sitting in the grand master's chair, sipping tea leisurely and admiring the exotic flowers and plants in the garden. A corner of the garden was surrounded by a force shield. There was a small pond inside, densely covered with ferns and algae. A small lotus flower bloomed in the center of the pond, with a petal as white as jade. Light lilac line.
In this small secret realm protected by the Force, the climate is obviously very different from the outside world. At this moment, there is lightning and thunder inside, and it is actually raining heavily.
Ji Rui's eyes never left the little lotus flower, and the light in his eyes was blazing. At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door outside the garden. Ji Rui suddenly became unhappy and shouted: "What's the matter? Can't you wait until I wake up?"
The voice of Liu Yuanxi, the general manager of the City Lord's Mansion and deputy commander of the City Guards, sounded outside the courtyard gate: "City Lord, there is an important person in the city. You still need to decide how to deal with it."
"Wait!" Ji Rui's face still looked ugly. Although he has not yet broken through the Divine General Heavenly Pass, he is only one step away from it. In the area around Nan Qing City, he is a man of his word. Apart from people like Spider Emperor, Mask, and Wolf King, what other important person could be more important than the lotus in the secret realm?
Ji Rui held a handpot in one hand, walked out of the garden, closed the garden door, and said coldly: "Who is the important person? Can we talk about it now?"
Liu Yuanxi lowered his voice and said, "It's Zhao Ye."
"Who?" Ji Rui didn't react for a moment.
"Zhao Ye, also known as Qianye. The one who crippled the Fury of the Wind in the Black Forest. Hundreds of brothers in our city guard also died in his hands. Your lumberyard"
"No need to say anything! He still dares to come?" Ji Rui interrupted Liu Yuanxi rudely, and his face instantly dropped, looking very ugly. He made a big bet on the logging farm, but was burned to the ground by Qianye. Not only did he lose all his money, but he also had to pay a large amount of compensation. Those lumberjacks were not ordinary workers, they were mercenaries who put down their Force guns.
Ji Rui's face turned pale, he raised his right hand and raised his palm into a sword. This is his habitual action. As long as his right hand cuts down, it means he will be killed without mercy!
Liu Yuanxi suddenly showed a murderous look on his face, waiting for the city lord to make a decision. But Ji Rui's fat hand was fixed in the air and never fell. He felt strange in his heart and looked up, only to see the fat on the city lord's face constantly shaking, his expression changing, sometimes gritting his teeth, sometimes sighing, but the right hand seemed to be frozen in the air, with no trace of whereabouts at all.
Ji Rui suddenly noticed Liu Yuanxi's gaze, snorted, retracted his right hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, put it down, and said: "This **** weather is already so hot."
At this moment, there are clear clouds overhead, and there is still a chill in the wind, and the word "heat" cannot be mentioned. But Liu Yuanxi nodded repeatedly and said flatteringly: "Yes, yes, it's getting hotter early this year."
Ji Rui took a sip of tea and asked: "That Qianye, has he changed his disguise?"
Liu Yuanxi looked embarrassed and said, "He added two beards." After finishing his sentence, seeing Ji Rui's ugly face, he quickly added, "He also changed his clothes."
What is the difference between this kind of disguise and no disguise? Qianye's move was too arrogant. In particular, his cultivation of the Force is not very advanced. Judging from the numbers on paper, there are a lot of people in Nan Qing City who can overwhelm him.
Ji Ruicheng was deep, and even though his face was ugly, he still said: "After all, I have changed my appearance."
"Yes, yes! How dare he enter the city with his true colors?"
I know this is untrue, but it still makes sense. Ji Rui's face suddenly relaxed a lot, and said: "In that case, let's not alarm the snake first. What is he doing in the city? Have you found out?"
"He went to several arms stores and bought mostly equipment related to floating battleships, but they were all second-hand goods. Oh, by the way, he placed an order at a store to purchase a power sail. The biggest and the highest standard.”
Ji Rui raised his short eyebrows and said thoughtfully: "He wants to build a floating battleship?"
“With this little equipment, it’s still far from building a ship, right?”
Ji Rui shook his head and said: "All ships that can use a power sail are big ships, and then there are long-distance ships that can cross the void. From my perspective, this power sail is what he really wants to buy."
Liu Yuanxi said: "City Lord, what should we do now?"
Ji Rui thought for a moment and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on him, but don't provoke him. Do you understand?"
"Yes. But City Lord, the Thirteenth Young Master has just left the mansion."
Ji Rui was surprised and said, "What is he going to do again?"
"When the young master heard that the little girl appeared in the city, he took his guards out of the house. None of his men could stop her!"
With a bang, Ji Rui slammed the teapot to the ground. Tea and broken porcelain immediately flew everywhere, and a lot of them splashed on the city lord's robe. But he didn't care about this and said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me earlier! Why are you still standing here? Why don't you send someone to catch that little **** quickly? If he dares to resist, he will be beaten unconscious on the spot. Come back. No, go in person, go now!”
"But Mrs. He"
Ji Rui's face suddenly sank and he shouted: "Go quickly!"
Liu Yuanxi did not dare to say any more and left quickly.
Ji Rui's face became increasingly gloomy, he snorted coldly, flicked his robe sleeves, and strode towards the city lord's mansion. Nan Qingcheng said it was big or small, and it couldn't be easier for his son to find someone in the city. Think about it, now is the time to stand in front of Qianye, right? Even if Liu Yuanxi rushed at full speed, it would be too late.
"Huh! These guys are all starting to have different intentions. Do you really want to try my Ji's methods?" Ji Rui muttered to himself and walked through the corridor and entered the meeting room.
Many attendants in the mansion saw him and hurriedly followed him, waiting aside for instructions. But Ji Rui just sat down in the big chair, with a sullen face and said nothing. Everyone looked at each other in confusion. They didn't dare to come forward to ask. They were all waiting in the hall.
At this moment, in front of the largest arms store in Nan Qingcheng, Qianye raised his head to look at the store logo, and then at the young man blocking the door.
This store is called Yunxiao Building. It mainly sells floating battleship equipment. It is the largest arms store in Nanqing City. The name of the store is so grand, and the scale is indeed worthy of its name. The entire store is five floors high and occupies a small half of a block.
At this moment, in front of Yunxiao Tower, several clerks and guards were standing nearby, constantly being careful. The young master ignored him and just stared at Qianye with a gloomy gaze, occasionally looking at little Zhuji sitting on Qianye's shoulder.
Finally the young master couldn't help it, gritted his teeth and said: "I didn't expect that you still have the courage to come to Nan Qingcheng!"
Qianye was looking at the floating battleship on the roof of Yunxiao Tower. After hearing this, he looked away, smiled faintly, and said, "What, is Nan Qing City closed?"
The tall guards behind the young master immediately became furious, shouting incomprehensibly, and wanted to step forward and give Qianye a lesson. However, the young master stretched out his hand to stop his men, and then he took a few steps forward and came to Qianye. His face was a little distorted and he said, "Who are you trying to deceive with this disguise? As long as your eyes are not blind, who can Don’t know who you are?”
Qianye’s smile did not change and he said, “Yes, anyone who is not blind knows who I am.”
There was obviously something wrong with what he said, and Qianye's reaction was completely different from what the Thirteenth Young Master had expected. He was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Xiao Zhuji again, and his heart suddenly felt hot, like a volcano about to erupt.
The young master lowered his lips, and with all his sarcasm, he took a step closer to Qianye and said, "Since you know this, you still dare to come to Nan Qingcheng! Do you know who I am?"
Qianye smiled and said: "Of course I don't know who you are, but I'm about to find out now. But I'm sure you don't know who I am yet."
The young master suddenly exploded, almost jabbing his finger into Qianye’s face, jumping to his feet and screaming: "Do I need to know who you are?!"
At this time, a guard quickly grabbed him and whispered in his ear: "Master, let's go back first!"
The Thirteenth Young Master could hardly believe his ears and said angrily: "Go back? Why go back? This guy has killed so many of us. As long as you chop him down, it will be a great achievement!"
The guard looked bitter, almost crying, and continued: "Sir! Think about it, he killed so many of us"
The Thirteenth Young Master was even more furious. Seeing that this personal guard was timid and fearful, he planned to find someone more useful. But when I looked around, I saw that all the guards had dull faces and hesitated to step forward.
In fact, everyone understood the meaning behind the words of the head guard. Qianye fought against the main force of the Fury of the Wind in the Black Forest and went upstream. In the end, he almost killed all the Fury of the Wind. If it were a large mercenary group, , and disbanded on the spot after returning. More than two thousand mercenaries died in that battle, and now they want to kill Qianye with their bodyguards who are less than twenty? It's still daylight, so it's still early to dream.
The Thirteenth Young Master finally came to his senses, but he still refused to give in. He gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you go back and report it to the city lord!"
The guards were even more helpless. Even the Thirteenth Young Master has received the news. Doesn’t the city lord know that Qianye has entered the city? Qianye strutting around in the city until now shows that the city lord doesn't want to cause this trouble at all.
The guard wanted to persuade me again, but Xiao Zhuji suddenly said: "I remembered, it was him who was leading the group at that time. He said very strange things to me and wanted to hold me to sleep!"
As soon as these words came out, the street became silent and there was no sound anymore.
The wind stopped blowing, but the temperature dropped suddenly, as if it was a cold winter, and everyone present shivered.
Qianye looked at the Thirteenth Young Master for the first time, his eyes full of coldness, and said slowly: "It's you, what a coincidence. I originally wanted to go to the City Lord's Mansion to find you, but I didn't expect to be here. Just met. Look, don’t I know who you are now?”
The Thirteenth Young Master wanted to say something, but suddenly a biting chill came from the bottom of his heart, and his whole body stiffened for an instant, unable to say a word. At this moment, he truly understood what murderous intent was.
In extreme fear, he could not move, his face was pale, and he could only watch Qianye pull out Dongyue.
"Save one under the sword!!" A shout came from afar, the sound shook half of the city, showing an extremely profound cultivation of the Force. At this critical moment, Liu Yuanxi finally arrived.
Qianye's expression remained unchanged, Dongyue trembled slightly in his hand, and the Thirteenth Young Master immediately let out a shrill scream and fell to the sky. There was blood between his legs, and blood gushed out like a spring.
Qianye turned around with a bright smile and said: "The person stayed."
