"I heard them say that Viscount Mask was the guard of the East Gate here. I thought I heard it wrong, but I didn't expect it was really you. When did you get promoted to Viscount?" Li Xiangfei asked with a blushing face.
"Why did you come to Fenghua City? Did you come alone? Is there anyone to protect you?" Bai Cangdong wanted to find out whether Mrs. Honglian came to Fenghua City.
Li Xiangfei thought that Bai Cangdong was concerned about her safety, and said sweetly in her heart: "Don't worry, this time I came to Fenghua City with my uncle, the knight in silver armor, to make a deal with Earl Fenghua."
Bai Cangdong breathed a sigh of relief. Madam Honglian is Li Xiangfei's aunt, and her status is higher than that of the Knight in Shining Armor. If she comes, she should be the first person Li Xiangfei mentions. Since Madam Honglian
When he didn't come, Bai Cangdong felt relieved.
"This is not the place to talk. Come up and have a cup of tea." Bai Cangdong took Li Xiangfei up to the tower. After sitting down on the second floor, he poured her a cup of tea and asked softly: "What kind of deal is this?"
, actually bothering the Knight in Shining Armor to go out with you?"
Li Xiangfei didn't seem to be wary of Bai Candong, and replied casually: "Earl Fenghua wants to exchange a batch of stone essences with us for the true fire of the sun."
When Bai Cangdong heard the words "True Sun Fire", the water he was pouring tea trembled slightly, and his heart beat wildly. His fairy bird's egg needed the True Fire of the Sun to hatch.
"What is it? I haven't heard of it before?" Bai Cangdong asked pretending to be calm.
"The essence of stone is a material for making alchemy furnaces. I heard that it is quite valuable. There is no essence of stone near our Daolun City, so the essence of stone that alchemists need is traded back from other places. True Fire of the Sun
It is a flame extracted from a plant called Sunflower on the top of Gutian Cliff. It has a wide range of uses. I don’t know what the Lord Fenghua City wants to use it for." After Li Xiangfei finished speaking, he asked in a low voice: "You
Why do you want to leave Daolun City and come to Fenghua City? With your strength, as long as you are willing, you can get a much better position in Daolun City than in Dongmen City."
"I have some things to do in Fenghua City, and I will go back to Daolun City after I finish them."
Li Xiangfei's eyes lit up, then she lowered her head and asked softly: "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Everything is going smoothly now. Is there any danger in your transaction this time?" Bai Cangdong was still thinking about Yang Zhenhuo.
"There shouldn't be any danger. Earl Fenghua and my father have a long history of friendship. They are just exchanging some materials and have already negotiated them in advance. We are only responsible for transporting goods. There shouldn't be any problems. The transaction will be carried out tomorrow and I will return the day after tomorrow.
Daolun City."
The two chatted for a while, and then Li Xiangfei reluctantly left.
"The sun is really hot. I wish I could get it. But it's a pity that it fell into the hands of Earl Fenghua. There is no way to think about it. Unless Earl Fenghua is willing to take it out himself, he doesn't know that she wants the sun."
What's the use of real fire?" Bai Cangdong could only put this matter aside and not think about it.
"Lord City Guard." When the sky was about to get dark, a viscount came to Bai Cangdong. He was the Jade-faced Viscount, one of the five commanders of the East Gate City Guards.
"Is it your turn to defend the city tonight?" Bai Candong looked through the information and saw that it was written that another commander, Viscount Fengyin, should be on duty tonight.
"Viscount Fengyin is going to attend a banquet tonight and can't come to be on duty, so you asked me to be on duty for you," Viscount Jade Face said.
"I didn't see him coming to ask for leave." Bai Cangdong said lightly.
Although Bai Cangdong has become the guardian of the East Gate City, the five commanders are not very respectful to him.
The previous guards of the Four Gates were all from the Knights, and these commanders were also from the Knights. They were the direct descendants of Earl Fenghua, so they didn't think highly of ordinary viscounts like Bai Candong who came from other places.
"Viscount Fengyin went to attend a banquet at the Earl's Mansion. He went in a hurry and didn't come in time to ask for leave in person. Let me ask for leave on your behalf." Viscount Jade Face said casually.
"Well, I'll trouble you one more time and tell Viscount Fengyin for me that if I don't see him here during my duty tonight, he won't come here anymore." Bai Candong said in a calm voice.
.
The Jade-faced Viscount looked at Bai Cangdong seriously and said, "Sir, do you have to do this for such a trivial matter?"
"If the important task of city defense is just a trivial matter in your opinion, I don't know what else is a big deal to the city defenders." Bai Cangdong looked through the information on the city defenders without raising his head: "You can go down.
Now, mark my words, if I don’t see Viscount Fengyin tonight, he won’t come here in the future.”
"I will definitely convey your words to Viscount Fengyin word for word." Viscount Jade Face gave Bai Cangdong a deep look before leaving the east city gate.
Bai Candong was browsing the information on the tower. It was already midnight after reading it, and Viscount Fengyin was still not on duty.
It wasn't until daybreak that Viscount Fengyin came to the city gate with a drunken face. When he saw Bai Candong watching the sunrise, he walked over with a sneer on his lips and said, "Sir, you are really hardworking.
I have been here to inspect Dongcheng for a long time."
"Did you receive what I asked Viscount Jade Face to tell you?" Bai Cangdong looked at the sunrise and said without looking back.
"Viscount Jade Face has told me, but I was attending a banquet hosted by the Earl at the time. I really couldn't leave early. Please forgive me." Viscount Fengyin said with a sneer.
"Very good, then can you tell me, what is the crime of leaving one's post without authorization according to the military law of the East Gate City Guard?" Bai Candong turned around and stared at Viscount Fengyin with burning eyes.
Being stared at by Bai Candong's knife-like eyes, Viscount Fengyin only felt a chill in his heart. He was mostly drunk, but he still said firmly: "Didn't I ask Viscount Jade Face to ask for leave on my behalf? Sir, you must let me
When I came back at that time, it was the Earl's banquet. How could I dare to leave early? If you have any dissatisfaction, sir, you can ask the Earl."
"Since you don't know what the crime of leaving one's post without permission is, then let me tell you." Without saying a word, Bai Candong directly summoned the Evil-Breaking Sword and slashed at Viscount Fengyin.
Viscount Fengyin was completely unprepared, and he never expected that Bai Candong would dare to attack him. When he saw the Evil-Breaking Sword, it was too late to dodge, so he could only quickly summon his long sword to resist the Evil-Breaking Sword.
It's a pity that he only cultivated the Bronze Divine Light, and he only cultivated it to about 20 levels, and he used inferior weapons. The Evil-Breaking Sword directly cut off his long sword and his neck, and his head rolled to the side of the city.
On top of the bricks, the headless corpse fell from the city wall.
"Those who leave without permission...kill..." Bai Cangdong said coldly, sheathed his sword and returned to the city gate tower.
All the city defenders felt chills in their hearts. They didn't expect that a commander, Bai Cangdong, just said he would kill them, without any hesitation.
"Lord City Guard, how should we dispose of the body of Commander Feng Yin?" After a while, a soldier came in timidly and asked.
"Send it to the knights and tell the knights from all directions that Viscount Fengyin left his post without my permission and has been beheaded on the spot by me in accordance with military law." Bai Candong said casually.
The Knights are responsible for the security of the city, and almost all matters related to the security of Fenghua City, large and small, have to go through the Knights. Bai Cangdong also followed the rules when he sent the body to the Knights.
Bai Candong's killing of Viscount Fengyin shocked the entire knights, and the other four commanders of the East Gate City Guards also came to the knights.
"Captain, you have to make the decision for Feng Yin. Viscount Feng Yin has been guarding the east gate for more than thirty years and has done his best. From a small soldier guarding the city to the current commander, even if there is no credit, there is still hard work, not to mention
Viscount Fengyin also made meritorious service in several undead attacks on the city. The masked Viscount beheaded him as soon as he told him to be beheaded. This is because he doesn’t regard us as human beings at all." Viscount Jade Face and other four East Gate City Guardians
There are knights from all over the world crying in front of me.
"Yumian, the East Gate City Keeper asked you to tell Feng Yin and ask him to return to the East City Gate during duty hours. Is this possible?" asked the knights from all directions.
Viscount Jade Face hesitated for a moment, but still did not dare to lie in front of the knights from all directions. Moreover, many soldiers were present at the time, so it was easy to find out that Bai Cangdong had indeed said these words to him.
"Yes, but Feng Yin was attending a banquet in the Earl's Mansion at that time, and it was really inconvenient to leave. Moreover, Feng Yin had asked me to ask for leave from the city guard on his behalf, but the city guard still did such a good job. It was clear that he did not treat us knights who were born
The commander of the regiment takes it seriously..."
Snapped!
The knight from all directions slapped the Jade-faced Viscount on the face and said angrily: "You still know that you are from the Knights, but you have even forgotten the most important duty of a knight. What qualifications do you have to mention that you are from the Knights? Give me all of you."
Get lost, if anyone dares to leave their post without permission like Feng Yin, without Viscount Mask taking action, I will kill you first."
Viscount Jade Face and others were scolded by the knights from all directions, and they all left the knights in tears.
"Sir, although Feng Yin is wrong, he is from our Knights after all. The new East Gate City Keeper did this and really hurt the face of our Knights." A knight said.
The knights from all directions sighed slightly: "Today is different from the past. Feng Yin and the others don't even look at what time it is. Lord Earl can no longer survive in this world for a long time. The fight between Fenghua and Fenghua is at a critical juncture, but they go to provoke Xin Rencheng at this time.
Shou, didn't it just give him an excuse to take back power? Not to mention Feng Yin, even if Yu Mian and the four of them dared to mess around, I believe that the Masked Viscount would dare to kill them all, which would just kill the whole thing.
The gatekeepers are all firmly under control."
"And this is what the Earl hopes to see. The reason why the lord chooses five successors to compete is to select the strongest and most leadership successor. This way of handling it, even if it is caused by the Earl,
, the earl can only say hello, and will not have any sympathy for Feng Yin and the others." The knights from all directions sighed: "Tell the brothers, no matter what, do not get involved in the struggle of the five successors, otherwise it will be regarded as a crime.
