Seeing Jin Hu's reaction, Liu Mang looked at the visitor cautiously.
I saw that he was six feet tall and about thirty years old.
His face is like a crown jade, he is dressed in white clothes and his facial features are extremely distinct.
The bright and deep eyes under his sword-shaped eyebrows seem to be always melancholy, and the neatly trimmed mustache also highlights the vicissitudes of life. He is actually a handsome man that he has only seen in his life.
Liu Mang thought that his appearance was not bad, but compared with this man, he was far inferior.
However, it was this person who made Jin Hu feel like he was facing a powerful enemy. The hair on his body stood up and his whole body hunched up. This was a reaction he had never had before.
Who is this person? What is the purpose of blocking me?
The thoughts in Liu Mang's mind were racing.
When he saw that the man was carrying a scimitar that was about three feet long and was obviously not an ordinary sword, sealed in a black scabbard, he thought of Yang Yi's suggestion and couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.
"Are you the leader of the Wan Yue Chamber of Commerce?"
The man asked in surprise: "Do you know me?"
Liu Mang complimented: "I once heard Miss Fang say that her father Wen Yaruo has a thousand holes in his heart, and he is as floating as a god coming to earth. When I see him today, I know that what he said is true."
The man shook his head and laughed: "Tang'er never praises me in front of outsiders, he only blames me. What you said is false at first glance."
Okay, the flattery hit the horse's leg.
Liu Mang was at a loss for words when he heard the leader of the Wan Yue Chamber of Commerce say: "Don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions. I just saw that your youthful appearance is as good as mine when I was young, so I wanted to come and talk to you."
Liu Mang clasped his fists and said, "Please give me some advice, please."
The man shook his head and said: "It's not just a pointer, it's just a casual chat. Don't be nervous.
Tang'er mentioned you to me in his letter, and since you are equals, just call me uncle."
Hearing this, Liu Mang felt relieved, knowing that the other party had no ill intentions, so he said: "Uncle Fang, please give me some advice."
Then I heard Fang Youheng, the leader of the Wanyue Merchant Guild, ask, "How old is your nephew?"
Liu Mang was stunned, this was really just a casual chat.
"I will be eighteen years later."
"Are you compatible?"
"I haven't found anyone I like yet." Liu Mang's heart moved slightly. Now the host asked me if this could be...
However, Fang Youheng's next sentence broke his illusion.
"It's not appropriate to start a family before your great career is accomplished. You did a good job."
"How is Mr. Zhong's health?"
"He is in good health. I plan to go find him soon." Liu Mang was not surprised that Fang Youheng knew about his relationship with Mr. Zhong.
When he was at Jie Zhilou, his relationship with Yin Lao and Zhong Lao had been revealed before. It would not be difficult for anyone with an eye to find out.
"When I was young, I received the guidance of Mr. Zhong, and I benefited a lot." Fang Youheng looked at Liu Mang, "You are causing trouble in Jiangcheng with strange beasts today. Although you have the intention of intimidating others and improving the gang's reputation, you are
It also makes many forces in the inner city fear the abnormality."
"Just pay for the rest. You need to take care of the Lord Ding's house, otherwise there may be trouble in the future."
"Thank you, Uncle Fang, for your advice." Although Han Long had already informed him about the matters related to visiting the city lord, he still had to appreciate Fang Youheng's kindness.
The two chatted for a few more words, and Fang Youheng asked curiously: "I wonder if my nephew can let me have a look at his heavenly secret order?"
Liu Mang readily took out a black token that looked like wood, but not iron, and handed it to Fang Youheng.
Fang Youheng took it and played with it carefully, looking at it and marveling at it.
"I also met the successor of the Tianji Sect back then, but he didn't like me, which made me depressed for a long time. This is the first time I've seen this Tianji Sect, and the material is indeed extraordinary."
He casually threw the Tianji Ling back to Liu Mang, looked at the golden tiger, and warned: "Although strange beasts are supernatural, they are still foreign objects, and their own strength is the foundation."
Liu Mang nodded solemnly and asked another question before Fang Youheng left: "I wonder what the level of Fire Crane Qi is in the world?"
Fang Youheng said calmly: "It's just ordinary, second-rate. It's a pity to lose it if you practice hard."
"How does it compare with the Four Sacred Sect's techniques?"
"Naturally, it is far from comparable to the most outstanding internal strength in the world."
Liu Mang got the answer he wanted, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Now he didn't have to worry about it anymore.
"Farewell this time, see you again when we are destined."
Fang Youheng used Qinggong to get up and disappeared. Only a faint voice echoed in Liu Mang's ears: "Be careful at the Valley of Sword Sacrifice."
Liu Mang looked at the direction Fang Youheng was leaving. Although he didn't know whether the other party came here to give some advice because of Fang Qingtang's face or Mr. Zhong's face, but he had learned a lot today.
"Why should I be careful about Sword Sacrifice Valley?" Regarding this behemoth in the Central Plains, Liu Mang couldn't figure out what involvement he would have with him.
He asked Jin Hu to wait not far away, and came alone to a luxurious mansion guarded by many people wearing steel helmets, armor, and holding spears.
He cupped his fists and said, "Liu Mang, the leader of the Golden Tiger Gang in the outer city, would like to see Lord Ding."
The guards glanced at Jin Hu who was not far away warily: "I'll go in and help you pass the message. Whether you see him or not is all at the discretion of the city lord."
He came out after a while: "The city lord is handling official business, please wait for a while."
Liu Mang had no problem, as long as he could agree to see him, it would be easy.
After waiting for more than an hour, Liu Mang's face remained as usual, showing no trace of dissatisfaction.
Han Long told him before he came that if the Golden Tiger Gang wanted to enter the inner city in the future, they could not offend the city lord by offending anyone.
Although the influence of the imperial court is not as good as before, it is still the most powerful and orthodox force in the world.
Finally, a soldier came out of the mansion: "Who is Liu Mang from the Golden Tiger Gang? The city lord has finished handling his official duties. You can come in."
Liu Mang followed the soldiers into the city lord's palace. The ground in the palace was paved with smooth white stones, surrounded by rockeries, green pine trees, small bridges and flowing water, and needless to say, pavilions and pavilions.
Liu Mang also discovered that there was a soldier standing almost every ten steps in the mansion with a serious look on his face. The strictness of the guard was breathtaking.
In some hidden corners, there were some powerful auras that came out intentionally or unintentionally, which also gave Liu Mang a chill in his heart, and he gained a deep understanding of the background of the City Lord's Mansion.
Entering a spacious back room, the floor is paved with dark red leather carpets.
A golden incense burner was placed in the center of the house. Behind the incense burner was a black square sandalwood table. Behind the table sat a middle-aged man wearing a gold crown, writing furiously on a piece of writing.
He looks to be in his forties or fifties, with a Chinese-character face and a half-white and half-black beard, giving him an extremely majestic look.
"Sir, Liu Mang has arrived." The soldiers reported to the city lord respectfully.
"Liu Mang, the leader of the Golden Tiger Gang, pays homage to City Master Ding." Liu Mang also clasped his fists and said respectfully.
City Lord Ding stopped writing and suddenly raised his head to look at Liu Mang. After looking at Liu Mang carefully for about ten seconds, his expression suddenly changed and he shouted sharply:
