"I should serve the city lord with all my heart," Li Ling replied loudly.
"Okay...Tian'er, take Mr. Li Ling to Xiyuan to settle down first." Then he said to Li Ling: "Mr., I won't accompany you."
"The city lord loves me so much. It is a great honor for me to follow the young lord." Li Ling coughed and said.
When Ye Lantian heard such compliments, he couldn't help but laugh. This time, he was praising him to the north and south.
"Haha, okay, Tian'er, take the old gentleman down." After Ye Fei finished speaking, he turned around and entered the back hall.
After leaving Tianxin Palace, Ye Lantian was no longer as indifferent to Li Ling as before. Instead, he smiled and said, "Old sir, what did you do before?"
"I used to be in the leather business," Li Ling made up.
"Are they selling the furs of wild beasts?" Ye Lantian asked in slight surprise.
Li Ling didn't know why Ye Lantian was so surprised. He nodded and said, "Yes, it's just that the family's financial situation declined and they stopped running the business later. They just lived at home making jokes."
Ye Lantian turned to look at Hei Lin and said, "It's a pity. If your daughter could be more beautiful, Mr., maybe we can still be relatives."
"Oh, it's a pity that my little girl has average appearance." Li Ling knew what this guy meant.
Hei Lin also had a cold look on his face, but in order to keep it up, he had no choice but to look pleasant and pretend that the guy was farting.
After leaving the gate of the middle courtyard, Ye Lantian called over to a housekeeper from Xiyuan and said: "Butler Liu, just take Mr. Li Ling to Xiyuan. Remember, the condition for settlement is that the general nursing team knows it.
?”
"I understand, young master." Manager Liu glanced at Li Ling secretly and suddenly remembered that he was the one who won the first place in the ring that day.
Manager Liu immediately greeted him with a smile and said, "It turns out it's you, old gentleman."
"Do you know me?" Li Lingqi asked.
"Who doesn't recognize the first place winner in the competition that day?" Mr. Liu said with a smile.
"Okay, let's take Mr. Li Ling down. I have some things to do out of the house. Mr. Li Ling, I won't take you to Xiyuan myself." Ye Lantian said politely.
"Young Master, please." Li Ling said. Li Ling didn't know. This guy went out and probably went to flirt with women again.
After that, Ye Lantian also left. Manager Liu took Li Ling to Xiyuan. After entering Xiyuan, there was a long wing-like structure, and a dozen or so people could live in one room.
When passing this long corridor, quite a few people started to discuss Li Ling, saying how majestic Li Ling was when he squeezed the heroes by himself that day. However, Li Ling's reputation was pretty good among the escorts.
After being led to an independent courtyard by General Manager Liu, General Manager Liu turned around and said respectfully to Li Ling: "Old sir, you will live here for the time being. This is where a former member of the General Protection Corps lived.
The venue, however, left later.”
Li Ling thought to himself, he left. I think he died in the execution of the mission, but in order to put it nicely, he said he left.
"Okay, the environment here is not bad. I will stay here temporarily. Hey, may I ask where the other five members of the General Protection Corps live?" Li Ling asked.
Manager Liu hesitated for a moment and then said: "The other five general guards are also in Xiyuan. However, they may not be at home because they have things to do outside. It would be in vain if they go there. So, wait for the five general guards to come back.
, how about I take you to visit again?"
Li Ling felt that Manager Liu was speaking vaguely because he was afraid that he would have to deal with the issue of residence.
Judging from the appearance of Manager Liu, maybe the place where Li Ling lives is the shabbiest and oldest one. Li Ling continued: "City Lord Ye once said that the evil boss is not here and I want Lin to lead me. Who is this Lin?"
?”
"I don't know whether Lin is a ghost or not. Since it was City Lord Ye who spoke, I believe Lin will come to see you personally, Mr. Lin. So, please don't worry, Mr. Liu." Mr. Liu said.
"Oh, that's good." Li Ling said.
"Then if there's nothing else, I'll go down first." Manager Liu bowed to Li Ling and went down.
Li Ling looked at the back of General Manager Liu and said to Hei Lin: "It seems that on the surface, this general protection group seems to be working together, but in fact, it is not united and unstable internally. With a team like this, no wonder, City Lord Ye himself
Too lazy to pay attention."
"But on the surface, City Lord Ye seems to be very concerned about the situation here." Hei Lin said doubtfully.
"Not only did Ye City Master not pay attention, but he was too lazy to pay attention to it. You didn't see that there was no one from the general protection group around Ye City Master. It means that this general protection group is fighting on its own. However, due to the superior strength of these people, Ye
The city lord sometimes has a useful place, so he keeps it." Li Ling said.
"Then how do you manage the masters of these general protection groups?" Hei Lin knew that in the dark night, the first level suppressed the first level, but looking at this general protection group, the five people seemed to be of the same level, and at most they were different.
The rights are just as great.
"Mutual suppression, mutual restraint, external restraint by temptation, internal restraint by interests, this is the brilliance of Lord Ye." Li Ling said.
"Could it be that City Lord Ye relied on offering bounties to attract people from the General Protection Corps to serve him?" Hei Lin said in surprise.
"That's about it. There must be brave men who are rewarded with large rewards. Therefore, these general protection groups are all brave men who are rewarded with rewards." Li Ling said.
"That is to say, when the Lord of Ye City is attacked, those in the general protection group will not take action without the inducement of profit." Heilin said.
Hei Lin's explanation was half correct, but Li Ling smiled and said: "Not all are like this. When Lord Ye was attacked, if he was followed by people from the General Protection Group, those people from the General Protection Group would
, we must protect Lord Ye City."
"Oh, but I see that none of the people in the General Protection Corps seem to be willing to stay with City Lord Ye." Hei Lin said.
"They are all fighting on their own, and there is no cohesion. Therefore, at this moment, they may be serving other masters." Li Ling said.
"You mean, they serve several masters at the same time!" Hei Lin said in surprise.
"Whoever pays more, I think they will serve that person. I suddenly feel that it is not impossible to kill Lord Ye City." A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Li Ling's mouth.
"I don't quite understand." Hei Lin shook his head and sighed.
"As long as we have the strength to bribe all five of the General Guards, we will have a chance to join forces with the General Guards to destroy Lord Ye City." Li Ling said with a smile.
Hei Lin opened his eyes wide in surprise and said: "This seems impossible. They are all the general protection group of Ye City Lord. Logically speaking, the benefits given by Ye City Lord should be very high. Could it be that we can give a higher price than Ye City Lord?"
Are the benefits still high?”
"Yes, as long as you give me time, I can have more wealth than Lord Ye City, but I haven't waited for his reply yet." Li Ling was talking about Liu Xing, a general in the country.
At the beginning, Liu Xing once said that he would come to buy elixirs from Li Ling again. Now more than two months have passed, and Liu Xing still hasn't disappeared. It is probably due to being too busy with business.
"Then what should we do now?" Heilin asked.
"Winning over the five guardians and asking them to point their fingers at Ye City Lord, even if Ye City Lord has the strength of a city-level leader, he will still be under certain threats." Li Ling said with a faint smile.
Hei Lin still sighed slightly, feeling that Li Ling's idea was too bold, and it was unclear whether the current situation of the five general guards was as analyzed by Li Ling.
"We should take our time. After all, we need to fully investigate before we can take action. If we act rashly, I'm afraid something will happen." After all, Hei Lin is a girl, with a more delicate mind and more thoughts.
"You are right. I will not act rashly. Just like you said, I will investigate the backgrounds of the five general guards one by one before taking any action." Li Ling said with a smile.
"In that case, I'll feel relieved. I thought you were going to let the five general guards go against Ye City Lord at once?" Heilin patted his chest and said.
"Haha, how is it possible? The five general guards must also be dissatisfied with Lord Ye City. As long as they find the breakthrough point of these dissatisfactions, everything will be easy to handle." Li Ling said.
"You are really a terrible opponent. Fortunately, I am not your enemy." Heilin said.
The area of this courtyard is quite large. There are some gardens, some rockeries, and some pavilions, which add a lot of beauty to the courtyard.
Li Ling and Hei Lin, apart from hanging out in this courtyard every day, they can't go anywhere for the time being. After all, no one has come to disturb Li Ling and Hei Lin in the past few days, just like the people from the Yecheng Lord's Mansion.
The two of them seemed to have been forgotten.
"I haven't seen anyone come to visit me in the past few days, and that's Lin. Didn't City Lord Ye tell Lin to take you first? Why didn't he even come?" Hei Lin sat on the stone pier of the pavilion and asked doubtfully.
"This exposes that these five general guards will rarely be willing to listen to the words of Lord Ye without a bounty. The so-called generals are out and their military life will be compromised, not to mention these stragglers."
Li Ling said.
"Then why do you want to be forgotten here?" Heilin sighed.
"Don't worry, in a few days, someone will come and ask us to go out for errands." Li Ling smiled mysteriously. (To be continued...)
