Chapter 17 Gongsun City Lord

A sword shocked the sky

Black Hawk puts the breakthrough point here in Yichen. It cannot be said that he is not smart. He is the youngest and has the weakest cultivation. If he doesn’t choose who he chooses, he should find a soft one to pinch the persimmon.

And it is best to win with one blow to open the gap and escape. Therefore, one move is a ruthless move, which is much more powerful than the same move against Tian Tao before.

Endless pressure rolled in, the target locked in Yichen, the sword tip pointed to, the cold light was in full bloom...

Yi Chen had a prediction, and he also knew that if the Black Eagle wanted to escape, he would attack him. So he secretly used the energy of the Five Elements Earth to hide his body, concentrate his mind and change his position, and flashed aside. He held the sword in his hands, and slowly stabbed out with the moon in his arms.

The Black Eagle was about to escape with one blow, but unexpectedly there was no figure wherever the sword arrived. In a daze, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and hurriedly protected his body, and swung the sword outward. Yichen had clearly stabbed, and the tip of the sword pierced into the Black Eagle's chest a little, but it was difficult to enter the slightest. He used all his strength and still made no achievements, as if he was pressing on an iron plate...

This involvement took a breath, but it was enough. Tian Tao, from behind, Huo Ning and Lin Lei, arrived, and all three arrived, and two swords and swords were called out.

Even with the Black Hawk's three heads and six arms, it is hard to escape. The leader of the Black Hawk's robbers team, who has done many evil things, finally broke through to become a general, but before he could be happy, he was killed by four people and died on the spot.

………………………………………

Tianyun City, the city lord's mansion, and the Star Tower.

A three-story building covers an area of ​​only more than 200 square meters, surrounded by hundreds of towering ancient trees.

In the morning, the sun shines through the gaps between ancient trees and slanted to the roof, embellishing the entire building with golden light. When there is wind, the golden light will still shine, as if the stars are shining, and the small building will also sway with the golden light, like a living thing. Although the small building is not big, it is extremely exquisite, and it is quiet but vibrant.

At this moment, a middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back on the window on the third floor. This man was more than two meters tall, with a slightly fat body and big ears. He was wearing a green robe, which made his face look slightly pale.

He saw someone looking anxiously not far from the downstairs outside the window, but he didn't dare to enter the building. It was obvious that there was something to report.

"Guard, let Ma Qiang come in." The middle-aged man gave an order and then walked downstairs.

"Master, Ma Qiang has something important to report." When the middle-aged man went down to the first floor, Ma Qiang was already standing on the side of the hall and said respectfully.

"Say." The city lord sat on the chair and slowly said a word.

"Yes. Yesterday afternoon, a fight broke out in a small woods five miles outside the city. After investigation by subordinates, the deceased was a member of the Black Hawk robbers, with a total of ten people, and the Black Hawk was among them." Ma Qiang reported carefully to the city lord: "One of the murderer was injured, but I don't know if anyone died yet, because no body was found."

"Who did it?" the city lord asked lightly.

"It is likely that it is the Yi family." Ma Qiang replied carefully: "At noon yesterday, at a shop in the south of the city, Black Hawk snatched the glaze from the Yi family and injured the person who bought the glaze. Moreover, the guards at the gate of the city reported that ten members of the Yi family guards left the city, but when they came back, eleven people, and several of them were injured."

"Oh?!" The city lord responded casually.

"Yes. Lord City, do we want this matter..." Before Ma Qiang finished speaking, the city lord reached out to stop him.

"The people who died were all from the Black Hawk Robbers... Are there any of them from the Chen family?" The city lord finally said a pretty complete sentence.

"Definitely not." Ma Qiang knew that the city lord was very interested in this matter, but he just didn't want to lose his demeanor so he kept holding on. "At least, the Chen family doesn't know about this matter so far. The Black Hawk Robbers Group has never had contact with the Chen family in the past half month, so his subordinates dare to conclude that there is no Chen family."

"That's good. Who is the one more person in the Yi family guard?"

"When the city lord returns, the guards heard Huo Ning call him the young master, maybe Yi Changchun's son." Ma Qiang didn't understand why the city lord was interested in this.

"Okay, send someone to invite Huo Ning and that young master." The city lord ordered.

"Yes, the city lord." Ma Qiang retreated.

……………………

In the afternoon, it was still the first floor of this Shrine Tower, with three people, the city lord, Huo Ning and Yichen.

"Hou Ning has met Lord Gongsun." Huo Ning saluted respectfully.

"My younger generation, Yichen, have met the city lord." Yichen bowed and clasped his fists, and was very polite.

"Please sit down, two of you." The city lord said politely: "Please come here, there is something to ask about. I guess the matter between the little forest yesterday was done by you."

"It's indeed what we did." Huo Ning repeated the matter and also told the story that the Chen family and Black Hawk colluded in Baili Forest to prepare for robbery.

"So that's it. What happened outside the city was not my control, but since it was done by you, I want to tell you some things." Gongsun City Lord said slowly:

"First of all, on behalf of the people of Tianyun City, my Gongsun Hong thanked you for eliminating the harm for the people. I have heard of the collusion between Black Eagle and Chen Fengqiu. A few years ago, I sent troops to encircle Black Eagle, but he escaped many times, which made me blamed by His Majesty the King. Later, I had to give up the suppression operation because Chen Fengqiu informed me."

The second is about the Chen family. The four major families in Tianyun City are: Chen family, Gu family, Carter family and Yuli family.

Over the years, there have been constant secret struggles and restraints each other, but overall, the four families are equally strong.

For officials, it is easy to manage this by taking advantage of their mutual restraint mentality. As long as they maintain a relative balance, no big thing will happen.

This balance was broken twenty years ago. Gu Brahmatian of the Gu family disappeared and his strength was greatly damaged; Chen Fengqiu's sister married into the capital Winter family and had a strong backer, especially in recent years, she actually had a relationship with the Xize Empire.

Although the cultivation of the two warriors has not reached a particularly powerful level, the Xize Empire is an existence that all forces in the Tianluo Continent are unwilling to provoke.

In addition, the Chen family's original strength was not weak, one grew and the other was reduced, and the strength was determined.

So the Chen family began to become stronger and had a dominant power...

"...... Your Yi family has sent all the most exquisite porcelain to the city lord's mansion over the years, so that I can get praise in front of His Holiness, but Brother Changchun's profit has been reduced by 30%. This time he was almost killed by the Black Hawk. Gongsun Hong is really ashamed of Brother Changchun."

"But now that the Black Eagle is dead, the Chen family may doubt you. And you can't afford to offend the Chen family at the moment. Although the Chen family dare not attack you in the city, I can destroy them, but secretly doing bad things is what they are best at. Some things are powerless for the City Lord's Mansion, so you must strengthen your defense..."

Gongsun Hong was a little worried. He and Yi Changchun were good friends for more than 20 years. Although the difference in cultivation between the two was too big, it did not hinder their friendship.

"Thank you, the city lord, for your concern." Huo Ning knew that Gongsun Hong was a decent person and took good care of the Yi family.

"Forget it, I won't talk about this." Gongsun Hong changed his mind and said to Yichen: "Yichen, are you fifteen years old this year? Your cultivation level has reached the level of the Supervisor, and you are worthy of the name of a genius. Your father hopes that you will live in my mansion for a longer time, are you willing?"

"Mr. City Lord, I do want to live in Tianyun City for a while and participate in the election of Xuantian Sect after the New Year. I just live in the City Lord's Mansion, I'm afraid it will be too disturbing." Yichen said.

Living in the city lord's mansion not only allows you to practice, but also ensure safety. After all, Yichen has no experience when he is traveling far away, so he is naturally foolproof to be protected by Gongsun Hong.

"It's okay. There are places in the City Lord's Mansion, and it won't disturb anyone. Don't call me the City Lord again in the future, just call my uncle." Gongsun Hong said with a smile: "I welcome your two friends too. If they want, they can live here."

In such a large city lord's mansion, although there are many soldiers and a wide range of generals and strong strength, Gongsun Hong still intends to recruit generals and masters like Tian Tao.

"Then thank you uncle. I'll go back and ask the two brothers." Then Huo Ning and Yichen said goodbye to Gongsun Hong and returned to Yuelai Inn.

"Brother Yichen, I want to go back and rescue my sister as soon as possible, so I won't accompany you to the city lord's mansion."

Tian Tao has now broken through to the general level, and the agreed time with his third uncle Tian Guiyin has only been more than a month.

He was so heartbroken that he wanted to return to his sister as soon as possible. Before leaving, he took out a space ring and handed it to Yichen: "This is the spoil you allocated to me yesterday, and this fourth-level magic core, I can't ask for it."

"Brother Tian, ​​the spoils you deserve, and you have the greatest contribution. The fourth-level magic core is the task you receive. If you don't hand over the task, you will be untrustworthy. In the future, our mercenary group will have no work to do."

The fourth-level magic core is a good thing and is also valuable, but Tian Tao needs it even more, and Yichen refused to take it back no matter what.

"If it weren't for you, brother, I would never have been able to break through to the general level in my life. You saved my life and upgraded the pills for me. You are Tian Tao's great benefactor." Tian Tao sincerely thanked Yi Chen. He couldn't resist Yi Chen, so he still accepted the space ring.

"After rescuing my sister, we must set up a real mercenary group. The three of us are the leader, so we are called the Sanying mercenary group." Tian Tao felt that only by building the mercenary group well would be the best explanation for his three brothers.

Lin Lei thought about it and was about to go to the capital with Tian Tao because he felt that Yi Chen was safe and secure when he lived in the city lord's mansion. However, Tian Tao's side seemed not that simple. He always felt that Tian Guiyin was not at ease, so he was better to be careful.

"Brother, I will accompany Brother Tian first. If it goes well, we will come back before the Xuantian Sect election to cheer for you and witness your entry into Xuantian Sect." Lin Lei suddenly felt that he had a little affection.

"Two brothers, then you must come back soon." Yichen has known them for more than a month, but he has been together for no more than ten days, but he has experienced three dangers, and has made them advance and retreat together to make each other become the best brothers.

After experiencing life and death, helping each other, this is the first time Yichen has experienced the concept of friends. He is very warm in his heart and also has more concerns.
