Long Tianlin is sixteen years old today, and he is the current city lord of Yalong City. However, he knows that he is a city lord in name only, and his decrees cannot leave his palace. Except for a few retainers who are loyal to him,
He can't command anyone. Although he is the city lord of Yalong City in name, in fact he just has a name. In fact, he can't control anything.
Long Tiansen became the city lord of Yalong City when he was six years old. At that time, he was just a child and didn't know anything. He only knew that his position as city lord should have been his father's, but his
His father died not long after he became the city lord, and then came his brother. His brother also died not long after he became the city lord. His father and his elder brother also did not finish the time of becoming the city lord.
Three years later, he finally became the city lord.
Although he was only six years old when he became the city lord, no one knew that his father and his brother spent a lot of time every day teaching him how to be a good city lord.
Taught him how to get along with his retainers, so when he became the lord of the city, even though he was very young, he understood a lot.
It is precisely because he knows a lot that after he became the city lord, he has been playing like an ordinary child. But at the same time, with the help of his loyal retainers, he has been quietly
They have restored their own strength. Although the city lord's family is still very low-key now, their strength is very strong. However, these strengths have been hidden by Long Tiansen, so no one knows.
Long Tianlin is currently sitting in his study. Next to him, there is an old man. This old man's hair has turned white. He is wearing gray clothes and has age spots on his face. He is standing there for a long time.
With his eyes idle, he seemed to be asleep. Just like an ordinary, dying old man.
But Long Tianlin is very clear that this old man is very powerful. His strength may not be strong, and he has always been very low-key in front of outsiders and will not attract anyone's attention. Only Long Tianlin knows that this
What is really great about the old man is not his force, but his strategy. He is definitely the best adviser.
Long Tianlin looked at a piece of paper in his hand, smiled suddenly and said: "Grandpa, look. It's so lively outside now, but we are still so calm here, as if no one noticed us. It's really
interesting."
The old man did not speak, and Long Tiansen was used to the old man being like this, so he put down the paper in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Holy Courtyard. Finally, someone dares to deal with them. There is finally hope of revenge for our Long family's great revenge."
Already."
"Ahem, young master, you have to remember that revitalizing the Long family is more important than revenge. As long as our Long family is strong enough, a small holy courtyard cannot be destroyed with a wave of hands."
"Grandpa, I know, but I am still very happy to see someone deal with the Holy Court. Grandpa, what do you think the final result will be when Lu Jinyan, Zhao Hai and the others fight against the Holy Court this time?"
"There are always dangers, and the strength of the Holy Court should not be underestimated. Although I heard that Zhao Hai and Lu Jinyan have taken advantage several times, don't forget. There are still a large number of experts in the Holy Court here, and they are being restrained by our city.
Come on, if the Holy Court had not put its power here, I think it would not be easy for Zhao Hai and the others to withstand it. As for Lu Jinyan, he is so interesting that he can actually put down his pretensions as the city lord and hand over the command.
To Zhao Hai, this is beyond my expectation."
"Oh? Why did uncle say that? I really think Zhao Hai is very powerful."
"Zhao Hai is indeed powerful. I can't see through this man. In a short period of time, he unified the city-states in the Confused Mountain Area and completed the integration in a short period of time. It even made the city-state of Confused Souls
It has become a city-state with the best environment and the best conditions in the world of spiritual soldiers. This is really beyond my expectation, and there is too little information about this person, so we have no way to judge."
"There are still people who can't see through people, so this Zhao Hai is even more interesting. By the way, I heard that a master in the city of Ecstasy, named Tian Hecao, died in the secret realm. Grandpa, you
If the City of Ecstasy really has the strength to challenge the Holy Court, why would he let Tian Hecao go to the secret realm?"
"No one can explain this clearly, but it can be seen that Zhao Hai is a very powerful person, but he will not give up his men easily, so letting Tian Hecao go to the secret realm must have ulterior motives, like the outside world
The rumors that Zhao Hai and Tian Hecao are at odds are, in my opinion, pure nonsense and unbelievable."
"Why did Grandpa say that? What if there is really a conflict between Zhao Hai and Tian Hecao? Then Zhao Hai can definitely let Tian Hecao die."
"Young Master, you have to remember that conspiracy is never what an emperor should use. If an emperor wants to use it, he will use it. You have to let people know what you think, but they can't stop you from doing it. Young Master, Zhao
Hai has the image of an emperor. He can stretch and shrink, take and give up, advance and retreat, be strong and soft. Young Master, please don’t forget that the city-state of Ecstasy has just been established not long ago, and before Tian Hecao
The battle with the Holy Court, and the last time Tian Hecao was taken to the secret realm, this was obviously the Holy Court's revenge. If Zhao Hai betrayed Tian Hecao at this time, who else would follow him in the future?
?So it would be strange if there wasn’t another hidden reason behind this matter.”
"But Grandpa, when Tian Hecao was fighting with the people of the Holy Court, the City of Ecstasy once issued a statement saying that it had broken away from Tian Hecao. Doesn't this mean that Tian Hecao was ignored?"
"That's different. It's just a statement. Even if they say that they don't care about Hecao, Hecao has nothing to do with them, but they are helping Hecao behind the scenes. Who can know? If the Ecstasy City-State
It really has nothing to do with Tianhecao. How could Tianhecao be taken away by people from the secret realm in the city of Ecstasy? Doesn’t this clearly tell us that Tianhecao still has something to do with Ecstasy City Ji?
?”
"Oh, so that's it. From this point of view, there must be a big feud between the City of Lost Souls and the Holy Court. It makes sense that the City of Lost Souls would be so active in dealing with the Holy Court."
"This is just one aspect. Young Master, didn't we receive news some time ago? More than a dozen cities adjacent to the Ecstasy City-State have voluntarily joined the Ecstasy City-State. The Ecstasy City-State wants to use the Pu River to
When the city-state goes to war with the Holy Court, it attracts everyone's attention, and then works hard to expand its territory."
"Is this really the case? This Zhao Hai is really insidious."
"It can't be said that Zhao Hai is so active in fighting against the Holy Court in order to let people from other city-states on the mainland have the courage to stand up against the Holy Court, so that they will not be the only enemies of the Holy Court. They will still have
Many allies, so that their pressure will be much less. Zhao Hai took advantage of this opportunity. Some time ago, various city-states had a lot of dissatisfaction with the Holy Court, and they took advantage of this opportunity. At this time, let everyone
It will be very beneficial for them to fight the Holy Words more fiercely."
"This Zhao Hai is really powerful. Grandpa, what do you think will happen if we face Zhao Hai in the future?"
After hearing what Long Tianlin said, the old man was silent for a while. After a while, he sighed and said: "Young Master, I hope there will never be such a day. This Zhao Hai will definitely pay for it."
When Long Tianlin heard what the old man said, he was stunned. Ever since he could remember, they had encountered all kinds of enemies, and when the old man faced those enemies, he seemed calm and calm, as if he was completely calm.
He didn't take those people seriously, and it was also because of the old man's command that the Long family survived crisis after crisis. During this process, Long Tianlin had never seen the old man say such a thing. This is really
It's so surprising.
The old man looked at Long Tianlin and knew what Long Tianlin was thinking. He looked at Long Tianlin and said: "Master, I am old, and Zhao Hai is still young. And this person is very powerful, don't talk about our Long family.
In this situation, even in the heyday of our Long family, even in the heyday of our Yalong City-state, we still have to be extremely careful when facing Zhao Hai, let alone now, so I really don’t want us to fight
If Zhao Hai goes up against us, it will not do us any good."
Long Tianlin nodded. At this moment, there was a burst of footsteps outside the sudden door. As soon as Long Tianlin heard the footsteps, his expression couldn't help but straightened up. Then he slowly relaxed and returned to a young man with a playful smile.
He looked like a human, but the old man stood there with his eyes half closed, as if he was asleep.
At this time, footsteps came outside the door, and a voice came: "Lord City Lord, there is someone outside to save you."
Long Tianlin said: "Who is it? Don't you know that when I was in the study, I didn't see anyone?"
"Back to the Lord of the City, the visitor is Boss Yu Mo. Boss Yu is a big businessman in our Yalong City and one of the main suppliers of our City Lord's Mansion. He said that he got a rare treasure today.
I want to dedicate it to the Lord of the City."
"Oh? If he is serious, let him come in." The person outside the door responded, turned around and left.
Hearing the footsteps disappearing, Long Tianlin frowned and said: "Grandpa, what does this Yu Mo want to do? Isn't he very close to those guys in the family alliance? Why did he suddenly come to see me?
?And how did this Yumo become the main supplier of our city lord’s palace? When did he become our main supplier?”
The old man said in a deep voice: "That person has been our main supplier for a long time. This person is very dedicated in doing business. All the things he supplies are of high quality and the prices are very fair. As for those who have alliances with the family,
The people are very close, but in my opinion, he is more like using those people to make it easier for him to do business. He should not have much relationship with those in the family alliance, so it would be nice to meet him.
Well, if we can win him over, maybe we can get some inside information about the family alliance. Now the family alliance is different from before, and the people in the family alliance are not as good as before."
Long Tianlin nodded and said in a deep voice: "In that case, we really should have a good meeting with this boss."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of footsteps outside, and then a servant's voice came: "Lord City Lord, Boss Yu is here."
"Let him come in." Long Tianlin sat behind the table, his body tilted and he said in an awkward posture.
The person outside the door responded, and then the door was pushed open, and then a person walked in. This person was in his fifties and a little thin, but his whole person gave people the impression that he was very energetic. The person who came was Yu.
Mo.
As soon as Yu Mo entered the room, he immediately knelt down and saluted Long Tianlin and said: "Little Yu Mo, I have met the Lord of the City. Good day, Lord of the City." After saying this, he bowed to Long Tianlin several times.
Long Tianlin glanced at Yu Mo sideways and said in a deep voice: "Yu Mo, you want to see me? I heard that you got a rare treasure. Take it out and show it to the city lord. If it is really good, then
This city lord must have experienced many things. If you don’t do well in Dongding and you dare to deceive me, then this city lord will definitely punish you severely." The way Long Tianlin spoke now, he completely lost the shrewd energy he had just before. He looked like
Like a child who is ignorant and only makes mischief.
Yu Mo was kneeling at that time. When he heard what Long Tianlin said, he quickly said: "I don't dare, how dare I deceive the Lord of the City? This time I really got something amazing, but
They said this thing is a murder weapon, and it is still kept outside. There is no way for me to bring it in and show it to the Lord of the City."
"Oh? It's a murder weapon? So it's a weapon? Come on, bring it in and take a look." Long Tianlin shouted the last sentence to the outside. A servant immediately answered outside, and then that
The servant opened the door and walked in, holding a long box in his hand. Then the servant came to the table holding the box.
Long Tianlin said in a deep voice: "Put it on the table and you can go out." The servant responded, put the box on the table, and slowly exited the room.
Long Tianlin stood up and opened the box. There was a sword in the box. It was a long black sword with a black hilt and a black scabbard. There was no decoration on the scabbard. Look.
It looks very ordinary and very simple.
Long Tianlin looked at the sword in the box and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He looked at Yu Mo who was kneeling on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Yu Mo, is this the treasure I found? Such a black sword.
, is the treasure you are talking about? I think you have never seen anything good, so how dare you treat such a broken sword as a treasure? I think you are here to play tricks on my city lord?"
"Lord City Lord, you are unjust. Give me the courage. I don't dare to play tricks on you, Lord City Lord. Lord City Lord, this sword is really a rare treasure. Please take out the sword, Lord City Lord. Then you will know, villain.
I would never dare to lie to you, Lord City Lord." Yu Mo kowtowed repeatedly.
Long Tianlin looked at Yu Mo's appearance and realized that he didn't seem to be lying. He couldn't help but snorted coldly: "I don't dare to deceive this city lord even if you don't. I really want to see how powerful the sword you mentioned is."
." After saying that, he stretched out his hand and took out the sword from the box, and then he pulled the sword out, but when the sword was pulled out, Long Tianlin couldn't help but become furious.
