Two hundred and fortieth chapters duel on the battlefield to win the throne
Brother Hongming hurriedly stopped Lin Minghao and repeatedly advised: "City Lord, you can't go to the City Lord's palace now!"
"Yes, City Lord, you must not go out until you have recovered from your injuries. It is dangerous!"
Seeing the nervous expressions of the two of them, Lin Minghao knew that something must have happened outside, so he asked: "What happened outside? Why can't you go out?"
Yu Hong replied: "There is a life-and-death duel going on in the Ao Ao Arena these two days, and many people with high cultivation levels are vying for the position of the new city lord."
When Lin Minghao heard this, his eyes instantly widened, his face full of anger and shock.
Yu Hong hurriedly explained: "City Lord, we took you out of the ruins secretly. No one else in the city knew about it and thought you were buried underground.
Besides, given your current situation, if someone discovers it, they will definitely challenge you directly."
After hearing the last half of Yu Hong's words, the anger on Lin Minghao's face faded and he quickly calmed down.
Indeed, now it is very difficult for him to even move his body, let alone fight. At this time, being discovered by someone who covets the throne of the city lord is like a fat sheep.
He slowly leaned back on the bed and asked Brother Hongming about the situation in the city: "How is the duel going now? Is there any result?"
Yu Ming shook his head: "Not yet, but there are only two divine realm commanders left. The final battle will be in two days, and the winner will be the new city lord."
Seeing that Lin Minghao's expression was a little ugly, Yu Ming quickly waved his hand and added: "Well, City Lord, that's not what I meant.
You are still the real city lord, even if the new city lord is compared, he is still fake."
Lin Minghao sighed and said: "That's all, let them toss them first, and then punish them slowly after I recover."
By the way, you said you were following the boss's orders when you rescued me from the ruins. Who is your boss? Ask him to come over so I can thank you in person."
Yu Hong replied: "Our boss's surname is Zheng, Boss Zheng."
"Boss Zheng? Which Boss Zheng?"
"That's Boss Zheng from the Dahuang Pill Supermarket."
Hearing this answer, Lin Minghao was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and muttered to himself in disbelief: "Zheng Qiu, it's actually Zheng Qiu."
Yu Ming said in surprise: "City Lord, do you know our boss Zheng? I will go find him right away."
Lin Minghao slowly raised his hand to stop him: "I naturally know the main figures of the major forces in the wilderness. You don't need to go find him, just come over by yourself when he is free."
If it were anyone else, Lin Minghao would of course thank him in person, but the person who saved him turned out to be Zheng Qiu, which made it difficult for him to express his gratitude.
But the meeting was definitely necessary, and Lin Minghao thought it would be better to postpone it a little longer until his physical condition was better, and then think about how to talk to Zheng Qiu.
The city lord has woken up and is conscious, which means he can take pills.
Brother Hongming put various bottles and cans on the tray and brought them to the bed to show the city lord each one.
Yu Hong pointed at the bottles on the tray and introduced: "City Lord, your cultivation level is very high, and we really can't judge your physical condition, so you have to decide for yourself what pills to take.
These are the elixirs from Dahuang elixir supermarket. Each bottle has the name and efficacy of the elixirs labeled on the outside.
These bottles were taken from the ruins, but I don’t know exactly what kind of pills they contain and how effective they are.”
Lin Minghao stretched out his fingers, slowly moved the porcelain bottle, and checked the label on it.
After a while, he suddenly called Brother Hongming and said, "You guys can help me with something."
The two brothers bowed their hands and nodded, and replied in unison: "Just ask the city lord."
Lin Minghao took the water cup next to the bed, dipped his index finger in the water, and drew a pattern on the tray, which was a sapling taking root on a square stone brick.
Then he said: "Draw this pattern and post it outside the elixir supermarket.
Let me tell you, Boss Zheng, there should be someone who sees the pattern and takes the initiative to ask for a meeting, and bring that person to see me."
Yu Hong took a pen and paper and drew the pattern accordingly. He took it to Dahuang Danyao Supermarket and handed it over to Zheng Qiu on the same day. He also reported Lin Minghao's situation from beginning to end.
After listening to Yu Hong's report, Zheng Qiu seemed very happy and said with a smile: "It seems that the city lord also has trustworthy subordinates. This is good, it saves me a lot of trouble.
You go back and look after the city lord, I will post the pattern outside the supermarket so that the city lord can rest assured."
Zheng Qiu did not take the white paper and paste it directly. Instead, he found some colorful silk cloth and drew patterns on it with various eye-catching colors.
Then cut it into long ribbons and hang them under the eaves of the supermarket.
It was announced to the public that a clerk in the supermarket was getting married, so they celebrated for a while.
Two or three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the rest day agreed upon by the two divine realm enforcers was over.
The Ao Ao Arena was crowded with people. Everyone wanted to witness this decisive battle and see who would be the new city lord.
Zheng Qiu asked the guards to take a seat in advance and came to the Ao Ao Arena to watch the battle, but he didn't care who was the city lord, he just wanted to see how powerful these two divine realm enforcers were.
He did not book a private room, but wore a simple robe and squeezed into the crowded stands.
There were shouts and cheers all around, deafening, and you could feel the vibrations caused by the sound waves under your feet.
This atmosphere can't help but make people's blood surge, recalling the days when they were gladiators.
But those days are not worth boasting about, because there were sad things in them, such as the death of a good friend.
As the voice of the explanation resounded throughout the arena, the two commanders stepped onto the battlefield one after another. At this time, the two men no longer covered their faces, and their identities were fully disclosed.
One of the commanders was named An Huming, and the other was named Lie Zheng. Both of them were masters of swordsmanship, and the weapons they prepared were very similar.
There were six one-handed long knives hanging on their waists, three on each side, and a heavy door-panel-like knife on their backs. At the same time, their sleeves were bulging, and they must have been filled with hidden weapons.
After the introduction, the sound went silent.
Because according to the rules, the life-and-death duel for the throne of city lord does not allow any outside intervention. When and how to fight are decided by the two warring parties.
At this time, the soundproof formation was activated in the stands, and the audience's cries, like landslides and tsunamis, could only be transmitted in the stands, but could not float to the battlefield, let alone fall into the ears of the two commanders.
On the battlefield, An Huming clasped his fists and said: "Li Zheng, why do you and I have to fight to the death, and both of us will be injured?"
Why don't you give me the city lord, and I will let you be the leader of the commanders, commanding the commanders of the whole city, one person is less than ten thousand people, wouldn't it be wonderful?"
Lie Zheng raised his head slightly and said sarcastically: "It's better for me to do it but the city lord. Since you think one person is inferior to ten thousand people, you might as well try it yourself."
