As he spoke, Xing Tiance's eyes were filled with anticipation.
this.....
Faced with Xing Tiance's urgency, the city lord stretched out his finger, poked his eyebrows, and said in a very embarrassed tone: "It is late at night, and your Majesty must have rested."
As he spoke, the city lord thought quickly and said to Xing Tiance: "Commander Xing doesn't know something. Your Majesty has been on the move several times during this period. First, there was a rebellion at Xuangu Pass, and then Qizhou City was attacked. His temper has changed.
He is very weird and often gets angry. If I take you to disturb his rest now, I'm afraid..."
At the end of the story, the city lord looked embarrassed.
well!
Xing Tiance didn't notice the city lord's lie. He believed it to be true at the time and sighed: "Your Majesty has to suffer this at such a young age, so naturally he can't bear it."
Afterwards, Xing Tiance clenched his fist tightly and said fiercely: "So we ministers must work hard to get rid of the traitor Ji Beiye as soon as possible."
"It's natural."
The city lord quickly nodded in agreement and said hypocritically: "In the past two days, I have deployed defenses. As long as Ji Beiye dares to act rashly, I will beat him to pieces."
Hearing this, Xing Tiance couldn't help laughing: "Qingyun City's navy is famous all over the world. Ji Beiye will definitely be defeated this time."
Ha ha...
As they spoke, the two looked at each other and laughed.
At this time, the city lord took the opportunity to say: "Although the matter of the covenant is important, we are not in a hurry. Moreover, Commander Xing has been working hard all the way and it is time to rest. Otherwise, I will arrange for you to go to the post office first."
Let’s take a rest in the library, and wait until early tomorrow morning to see His Majesty together.”
When he said this, the city lord looked sincere, but his eyes flashed with coldness.
Yes, the city lord planned to get rid of Xing Tiance and then destroy the covenant. If he did it in his own city lord's palace, he might be exposed. Only by doing it in the post house could he be freed from responsibility.
At this time, Xing Tiance didn't know that the city lord in front of him had murderous intentions for him, so he immediately nodded and said: "Okay, let's follow the city lord's arrangements."
"good!"
The city lord stopped talking nonsense, stood up and shouted outside: "Here comes someone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two guards rushed over and said respectfully: "What are the orders from the city lord?"
The city lord said seriously: "Immediately escort Commander Xing to the post house. Remember, you must protect Commander Xing's integrity, otherwise I will question you."
After the explanation, the city lord hugged Xing Tiance and said with a smile: "Commander Xing, let's see you tomorrow morning."
Xing Tiance nodded, immediately put away the covenant book, and left the city lord's palace with the two guards, heading to the post house to rest.
Bang bang....
As soon as he left, the city lord immediately put away his smile and clapped his hands. Immediately, a personal guard walked in from outside: "City lord, do you have any other orders?"
The city lord's eyes flickered: "Go and invite the Lord of Lutan immediately. Go quickly."
"Yes, City Lord." Upon hearing the order, the guard responded and hurriedly left.
Ten minutes later, the guards came back with a man in black robes. When they arrived at the door of the study, the guards immediately withdrew.
I saw that the man in black was in his thirties or forties, with a medium build. He seemed ordinary, but his eyes shone with brilliance, and the aura permeating his body should not be underestimated.
This person's name is Lu Qingxuan, he is the master of Li Tiandao's branch in Qingyun City, and he has the strength of the eighth rank.
"The city lord summoned me late at night, what are your orders?" Lu Qingxuan approached the study and asked in confusion. As he asked, Lu Qingxuan walked to the table and saw that there was brewed tea, so he poured himself a cup.
Lu Qingxuan and the city lord are personal friends, but not many people know about it just because of their status.
call!
The city lord took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "There is a difficult matter. I need you to help me get rid of someone."
"Who?" Lu Qingxuan asked slowly. As the leader of the Litian Dao branch, killing someone is a trivial matter for him.
The city lord's eyes became serious and he said word by word: "Xing Tiance, Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army."
What?
Hearing this name, Lu Qingxuan suddenly stopped bringing the tea cup to his lips, and his expression showed a bit of fear. As the commander of the Imperial Army, Xing Tiance was very powerful. It might not be easy to kill him.
hehe....
Seeing the change in his expression, the city lord smiled and said: "After the matter is completed, five thousand taels of gold and ten singers will be presented. The altar master should be fine."
