Hao Pingan followed up again, deliberately pressing his body close to Wang Xiao, and being ready to stop Wang Xiao at any time. Wang Xiao was so angry that his lungs almost exploded! He couldn't show it!
Facing the old city lord's question, I have to answer it.
An idea struck him and he said casually.
"I have a brother named Cui Jian, who was imprisoned in the city lord's mansion by the little city lord. See if you can be merciful and let him go and let us go together."
The old city lord now has a pretty good impression of Wang Xiao. Hearing what Wang Xiao said, he nodded.
"Okay, I will make arrangements. Just wait at the door. Is there anything else?"
While Wang Xiao was racking his brains and thinking about how to create another opportunity to be alone with the old city lord, not far away, the Lu Chong family came back.
Wang Xiao knew that this time, there was no chance at all. Staying like this for a long time would definitely arouse suspicion, so he simply shook his head.
The old city master patted Wang Xiao on the shoulder with serious words, turned around and returned to the courtyard.
In the reception hall at the outermost edge of the city lord's palace, Wang Xiao gritted his teeth and stared at Hao Pingan, his heart turning green with regret. Hao Pingan lowered his head, looking at his age, like a child who had made a mistake.
"I just think it's too dangerous and have no other ideas. That's the lord of Xiu City."
Just when Hao Pingan was about to speak, Cui Jian and Wang Qing came out. They walked up to Wang Xiao. Cui Jian was very moved.
"Thank you Captain Wu for your life-saving grace!"
Apparently, the old city lord often spoke well of Wang Xiao to Cui Jian.
Wang Xiao was really in no mood anymore, so he said a few words and left with a few people. As soon as he reached the main entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, he was stopped by several guards and stared at the leading guard.
"It's me, Ebony. I just came here not long ago."
"Captain Wu, I know it's you."
"You know it's me, but you still want to stop him?"
"I'm sorry, this is what the little city lord specifically told me, and you are not allowed to leave!"
"I'm not allowed to leave? When did you tell me this?"
"That's what I told you right after you entered the City Lord's Mansion. And it was specially emphasized."
Wang Xiao thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that Xu Xiu had really spent a lot of money and made a lot of preparations to protect himself.
After thinking about it, he was lucky that he had not taken action just now, otherwise, he would definitely not have been able to escape. After all, he had no idea about Xu Xiu's arrangement.
Thinking of this, he looked at Hao Pingan on the side and found that Hao Pingan was also staring at him. He seemed to be saying, "Look, look. Fortunately, I didn't let you do it."
Now is not the time to talk to Hao Pingan. Wang Xiao adjusted his mentality.
"Brother, it's like this. I have something urgent and I have to leave immediately."
"Captain Wu, please don't make things difficult for me. If I dare to let you go, I won't be able to save my life! Don't you understand the little city lord? Please understand!"
Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Wang Xiao quickly found someone to send a message to the old city lord. A few minutes later, the Lu Chong family came over in person. He looked at the captain on duty with an angry face.
"What do you mean? You don't obey my orders? Don't you obey the old city lord's orders? Get out of my way immediately! Let Captain Wu leave!"
The squad leader's face turned green. He hesitated for a long time and let out a long sigh.
"Captain Lu, please kill all of us before leaving. Otherwise, we must not get out of the way. This is what the little city lord has repeatedly ordered! It cannot be broken!"
"If anything happens, the old city lord and I will take care of it for you."
"Captain Lu, let me tell you something I shouldn't say. With the character of the little city lord, can you handle it?"
"When the eldest and second young masters surrounded the city lord's palace, he refused to retreat. How can he retreat now?"
"So unless the little city lord personally gives the order, no one can do it!"
"Actually, we are almost dying of discomfort now. If it doesn't work, you might as well give us a happy one! Hey!"
We are all acquaintances and have good personal relationships, so it is useless to force them. The Lu Chong family tried to communicate for a long time, but it still had no effect. Moreover, not only was Wang Xiao not allowed to leave the inspection post in front of him, there were several more in front of him.
The inspection posts all received orders from the small city lord and Wang Xiao was not allowed to leave.
Everyone knew the little city lord's character well, so their attitudes were very firm. Seeing that the Lu Chong family had no choice but to go back and ask for help from the old city lord, they could think of other solutions.
Wang Xiao was in a state of confusion and had no idea for the time being. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Cui Jian and Wang Qing. He thought that this was already the case. Let's do the good thing to the end. There was no point in letting them stay here, so he immediately spoke.
"If you don't let me leave, did you say you wouldn't let them leave?"
"No, they can leave at any time."
The squad leader's attitude towards Wang Xiao was very good.
"Then let them go first."
Wang Xiao gave Cui Jian a signal, and Cui Jian hesitated.
"Hurry up, leave as soon as you are told, and stop the ink stains!"
The two of them thought about it again and again, but decided to leave first. Wang Xiao then looked at Hao Pingan again. Hao Pingan had stopped looking at Wang Xiao at this moment. No matter what Wang Xiao said, he would not leave.
Just follow Wang Xiao.
This made Wang Xiao so angry that he almost kicked him away by the neck.
Not long after, the Lu Chong family returned.
"Captain Wu, there is no other way for now. It's better not to leave yet."
"Don't we have any other way out of the city lord's mansion?"
"The little city lord knows the city lord's mansion very well, and all routes are guarded by specialized personnel! You must be inseparable!"
“It’s not even possible for the old city lord to come forward?”
"It's not impossible, but if he really comes forward to do something forcibly and embarrass the soldiers without saying anything, waiting for Xu Xiu to wake up, it will definitely be a bomb. In the words of the old city lord, forget it, life or death depends on it."
Wang Xiao was very embarrassed, but had no other choice but to go to the guest room with Hao Pingan.
After the Lu Chong family left, the expression on Wang Xiao's face immediately changed.
He grabbed Hao Pingan's neck with one hand and pushed him to the wall.
"Hao Ping'an, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, I'm not done with you!"
Hao Ping'an looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He curled his lips and spread his hands.
This made Wang Xiao even more angry.
——————
In Xu Youzhi's room, he had just changed into his pajamas and was soaking his feet! His cell phone suddenly rang.
I stared at the phone screen and thought for a long time, then let out a long sigh.
"Hi, hello!"
"Brother Xu, it's me, Meng Qiang!"
Meng Qiang is the head of the War Palace, and he and Xu Youzhi can be considered "old acquaintances."
"Aqiang, long time no see." Xu Youzhi smiled, "Why do you think of me?"
Meng Qiang went straight to the topic.
"Brother Xu, hundreds of brothers from our Zhanfu were ambushed and brutally killed in Xiufeng District! Do you know about this?"
Xu Youzhi pretended to be surprised.
"When did this happen? How is it possible? Who has such great ability?"
"Head of the Integrity Team of the Xiucheng Police Security Bureau, Wu Mu!"
"It's this ebony again. I'm really convinced."
Xu Youzhi was experienced and suddenly changed his tone.
"That's not right, Aqiang, aren't your war government forces never allowed to leave the Jinxiu Mountain area at will? Moreover, we had an agreement at the beginning. If we don't enter the mountain, you won't come out! Your people came to our Xiu City to do something.
Why are they here? So many people are here at once? Why do Wumu and the others want to attack your people?"
There are many grievances between Xu Youzhi and Zhanfu. The two parties are definitely not friends.
The main reason why this relationship can be barely maintained is that Xu Xiu cannot easily swallow up Zhanfu.
It is also difficult for the war government to leave the Jinxiu Mountain area to fight and capture Xiucheng.
If things really come to light this time, the war government must have done something wrong.
Xu Youzhi was actually very dissatisfied with Zhanfu's behavior, but he didn't show it as radically and obviously as Xu Xiu did.
Xu Youzhi certainly didn't want to have a conflict with Zhanfu, but he didn't dare!
If the Zhanfu really goes too far! They completely ignore the Xu family’s face and feelings!
Xu Youzhi is also willing to take risks!
Facing Xu Youzhi's rhetorical question, Meng Qiang thought for a moment.
"Brother Xu, the reason why you are today is inseparable from Wang Donglin's help, right?"
"Of course I remember, so I have given Wang Jackal many privileges and helped Wang Jackal a lot over the years. If not for this, his Eastern Jackal would have been exterminated a hundred times!"
"Then you should also know the friendship between Wang Donglin and Zhang Man, right?"
"Of course I know, so when Zhang Man violated laws and disciplines in Xiucheng for Wang Donglin, I turned a blind eye. Everything that can be passed will be passed!"
"But this does not mean that Zhang Man and Wang Jacky can be lawless and reckless in Xiucheng! After all, Xiucheng is no longer my responsibility, as you know!"
Xu Youzhi's answer was watertight.
"Aqiang, you haven't said anything yet, why did Zhangman and the others come to Xiucheng so well?"
Meng Qiang also heard something in Xu Youzhi's words, had a tough attitude, reacted very quickly, and immediately changed his routine.
"Brother Xu, what Zhang Man did was indeed a little impulsive. But I assure you, he definitely acted without permission. I didn't know about it!"
"I now officially apologize to you on his behalf! In addition, I am willing to pay for everything Zhang Man has done and make huge compensation! I hope Brother Xu will not be angry! He is no longer there, so just forgive him!"
Xu Youzhi felt a lot more comfortable.
"Aqiang, what are you talking about? Why do I feel so confused!"
"Brother Xu, the reason why I called you today is not to question you, but to apologize to you!"
"I recognize the brothers we sacrificed. After all, they acted without authorization. What they did was not right!"
"But, for the sake of our friendship over the years, can you make it easier for me?"
