Liu Mang rode his horse and rushed to the inner city.
When he arrived at the city gate, he showed the token given by the city lord to win over him, and then rode straight into the city gate without encountering any obstruction.
In view of the current tense world situation, the inner city streets have become much deserted.
Pedestrians walked in a hurry and frowned, as if they had lost the joy and laughter of the past.
Even the largest teahouse, Jiazhilou, is not as full as before.
When Liu Mang passed by Jizhilou, he heard negative words coming from inside, such as, "The Taiyun Bandits are a great threat," "Liangcheng is about to be captured again," and "Sooner or later it will be Jiangcheng's turn."
In the past, he would not have gone into Jizhilou to have a few drinks. But now Wang Zhigang was seriously injured and there was no time to delay.
He first rushed to the city lord's mansion located in the east of the main city. Standing at the gate were dozens of soldiers wearing helmets and armor and holding long guns.
"Liu Mang of the Golden Tiger Gang is here to pay homage to City Lord Ding!" Liu Mang got off his horse and said straight to the point.
The first person to meet the city lord is because the city lord is the most powerful and has the highest possibility of possessing the Yang-Returning Pill.
And I expected that the city lord would not be willing to part with just a pill in order to win over him.
A man who was the leader of the soldiers knew Liu Mang, and he said coldly: "It's a bad luck for Gang Leader Liu to come. The city leader went out for something yesterday and it will probably take three to five days to come back."
Three or five days?
If it were delayed until that time, Wang Zhigang would have to collect the body.
Liu Mang hugged his fists to express his gratitude, turned around and rushed towards a certain direction in the west of the city.
After a while, he arrived outside a rather luxurious mansion.
Two tall Lian family members stood at the door. The two large golden characters "Fang Family" on the plaque shone with golden light under the light of the red lantern.
"Liu Mang of the Golden Tiger Gang, come to meet the head of the Fang family!" Liu Mang said with his fists clasped.
Lian Jiazi, who was standing on the left side of the door, had a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then said: "It turns out to be Gang Leader Liu. I'll go in and pass the news to you."
Apparently he had heard of Liu Mang's name.
As time goes by, Liu Mang's reputation in the martial arts world becomes more and more famous, and more and more people know him in Jiangcheng.
After a while, he walked out with a regretful expression, and Liu Mang suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Gang Leader Liu, our leader has not returned home after attending the Heavenly Fire Conference. You'd better come back in a few days."
Speaking,,,edition.]
"Is Miss Fang Qingtang at home?" Liu Mang asked.
Girls in the boudoir are generally inconvenient to contact and can easily lead to gossip, but the current situation is critical and obviously there is no control over that much.
"The young lady went out with the head of the family and didn't come back." The man shook his head.
Liu Mang clasped his fists in thanks, then got up and rushed to the location of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce.
"Young Master, he has not been to Jiangcheng in the past two months." An accountant from the Sihai Chamber of Commerce told Liu Mangdao.
Liu Mang was not surprised when he heard this. After all, the headquarters of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce is in Wucheng, and Yang Yi must have been in Wucheng most of the time.
With no one he knew well in the City Lord's Mansion, the Fang Family, or the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, Liu Mang couldn't help but feel a little powerless at this time, even though he had experienced many battles.
He only has good relations with these forces in the inner city. Are there other forces...
Liu Mang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought that the Yinsha Sect had sent many generous gifts to the Liu Mansion, with the intention of deliberately repairing it.
So he came to the Yinsha Gate for the first time and explained his purpose to the guard guarding the door.
After a while, a long laugh came from behind the door, and then a middle-aged man in gray clothes came out.
"Long time no see, Gang Leader Liu!"
"How is Master Zhou doing lately?" Liu Mang said with a smile.
It was Zhou Shilong, the leader of the Yinsha Sect, who came out. His face was a little gloomy, giving people an extremely cold feeling.
But at this time, Liu Mang seemed quite friendly.
"Mr. Zhou has been sitting in Jiangcheng doing nothing, but he can always hear about Master Liu's heroic deeds!" Zhou Shilong said with a smile.
"Master Zhou, don't make fun of me, I'm thin-skinned."
"Haha! Master Liu, please!" Zhou Shilong led Liu Mang into the Yinsha Gate.
The two of them talked and laughed all the way until they entered the main hall of Yinshamen.
Zhou Shilong made very thoughtful arrangements. One maid had already made tea, and another maid brought two full plates of melons and fruits.
Liu Mang quickly explained his intention, and Zhou Shilong could not help but frown.
"Returning Yang Pill? To be honest, although this thing is precious, it is not that rare to you and me.
But the last Yang-Returning Pill in my possession was used last year, and the world has been going through a lot of ups and downs this year, so I haven’t had the chance to go to the Central Plains to get it.”
Zhou Shilong walked back and forth on the spot, suddenly clapped his hands and said: "Zhao Zheng, the master of Jiquan Sect, and I have a good relationship. I will go and ask for a pill for you. I think it won't be a big problem!"
"Thank you, Master Zhou!" Liu Mang said happily.
He and Zhou Shilong went to Jiquan Sect together.
Because of Zhong Yulong's relationship, Liu Mang did not visit the Jiquan Gate, but waited for Zhou Shilong not far outside the gate.
After about a stick of incense, Zhou Shilong walked out with an extremely ugly expression.
"Hey! Hey! Mr. Zhou is not doing things well and has no face to face Gang Leader Liu!" Zhou Shilong said shyly, then he used Qinggong to stand up and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Liu Mang was stunned. He was about to turn around and leave when a sneer suddenly came from inside the Jiquan Sect:
"Don't say that the Huanyang Pill is extremely precious. Even if it is a pile of rotten meat, it will only be fed to the dogs in the door and will not be left to anyone in the Golden Tiger Gang!"
Liu Mang paused, said nothing, and strode away.
The Ji Fist Sect had the same attitude, and he also gave up the idea of going to the Ice Soul Sect. After all, the other party also had a grudge against Mr. Zhong.
However, the other party has gone too far. If there is a chance, I must carefully consider it.
Liu Mang had already planned to sail to Wucheng overnight and was going to ask his senior brother Yang Zhe for help.
It's just that Jiangcheng is more than three hundred miles away from Wucheng, and it would take a day and a night at the fastest to go there.
During this period, Wang Zhigang can only carry it by himself. Whether he can carry it depends on God's will.
Thinking of this, Liu Mang couldn't help but frown, and felt a little unhappy.
Just as he was about to leave the inner city, a voice came:
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Brother Liu, please stay!"
Liu Mang turned around in surprise, and it turned out that the person calling him was Wang Yuanjian.
Wang Yuanjian looked at Liu Mang with a complicated expression.
This person whom he did not pay much attention to at the beginning has now left him far behind.
Even Liu Mang's opponents are no longer limited to young heroes of the same age, but are directly targeting those sect leaders and elders of aristocratic families.
"My teacher invites you!"
Liu Mang did not dare to be careless about the invitation from Guo Junwen, the head of the Ice Soul Sect, and followed Wang Yuanjian into the Ice Soul Sect.
Compared with the Fire Crane Gate, which has disappeared in the long river of history, and the Yinsha Gate, which I just visited, the Bingpo Gate covers a larger area, and the decoration in the door is more primitive, and many details reveal its profound heritage.
Guo Junwen stood in the main hall with his hands behind his hands. Hearing the arrival of Liu Mang and the others, he turned around and said with a smile, "I heard that Gang Leader Liu is looking for the Yang Huan Dan?"
"Exactly, one of the lower gang members was seriously injured and needs the Yang Return Pill to be cured."
"I happen to have some inventory in my house, Yuan Jian, please accompany Gang Leader Liu to pick it up."
"Yes, Master!" Wang Yuanjian said respectfully.
"Thank you, Mr. Guo, for disregarding the previous grudges. I will keep this great kindness in my heart!" Liu Mang was overjoyed.
Guo Junwen smiled and said: "The filial piety and righteousness of Gang Leader Liu are astonishing. I admire him very much. A pill is nothing."
Your master is your master, you are you, and I will not confuse them with each other. Besides, the grudge between Chizhu Peak and Ice Soul Sect has been settled at the Skyfire Conference."
Liu Mang bowed solemnly and saluted.
Guo Junwen has a clear distinction between grievances and grievances. His level is much higher than that of Zhao Zheng. He is worthy of being the strongest among the famous celebrities in the southeastern martial arts world.
However, he had previously killed a disciple of the Ji Fist Sect. To be honest, it was not only Mr. Zhong, but he also had a blood feud with the Ji Fist Sect.
Liu Mang thought so.
…
Quancheng, Nine Shadow Sword Sect.
"Is there no news about Wei Da yet?" Liang Xiaxing, the head of the Nine Shadow Sword Sect, asked his disciples.
His disciple Zhan Weida has not returned to the sect for four or five months, as if he suddenly disappeared from the world.
