Sure enough, three days later, Manager Wang came to visit Li Ling. Li Ling was sitting in the pavilion with Hei Lin in his spare time, enjoying the charming fragrance of flowers around him.
"Mr. Li, you are so happy." Manager Wang greeted Li Ling from afar.
Li Ling looked at Manager Wang, pretending to be surprised and said: "General Manager Wang, you are such a noble person. I don't know if you, a busy man like Manager Wang, came to my place just because you came to me? Or you still have something important to do."
"It's nothing important. It's just that the city lord asked me to come and invite Mr. Li to Tianxin Palace. I don't know what it means. Mr. Li, do you want to come with me?" Manager Wang had an extremely flattering look on his big face.
smile.
"As General Manager Wang said, Lord Ye has invited me. I will go immediately and General Manager Wang will lead the way." Li Ling made a gesture of invitation.
"The City Lord does have an emergency and needs Mr. Li's help. However, this is an opportunity for Mr. Li to make a contribution. As long as Mr. Li can seize it, he can be reused by the City Lord in the future." Manager Wang said with a smile.
Li Ling knew that the important point was coming, and hurriedly took out the five hundred ink crystals he had prepared and handed them into the hands of Manager Wang, saying: "I also hope that Manager Wang can reveal why the city lord came to me."
When Manager Wang saw the bag of ink crystals, there were about 500 ink crystals, he immediately put the 500 ink crystals away and laughed and said, "Mr. Li, you still remember the treasure thief last time."
Li Ling smiled naturally and said, "Of course I remember."
Hei Lin smiled secretly and thought to himself that Li Ling had actually guessed this matter.
"That incident is still unsolved. Although we know that the other party is Lord Ye's second brother, it is really difficult to find this guy. Lord Ye has sent many people out to look for him, but they all came back empty-handed.
"Manager Wang sighed.
Li Ling felt funny in his heart. Of course he would return empty-handed. How could someone steal a treasure and keep it waiting for you to catch it?
"Of course that guy stole the treasure and either sold it or used it for himself." Li Ling said.
The two of them walked and discussed, and soon arrived at the middle courtyard, while Hei Lin followed Li Ling, never leaving.
Arriving at the main hall of Tianxin Palace, City Lord Ye was sitting on a high chair, looking worried with his head in his hands. However, Ye Lantian was not there, wandering around somewhere.
Next to Ye Fei, stood an indifferent man with his arms crossed and a sword tightly held in his hand. This man. At first glance, you will think he is very ordinary, but when you look at him the second time,
At the third glance, you realize that he is an extremely extraordinary person.
When Li Ling looked at the man, the man also turned his attention to Li Ling. Their eyes met. They both felt that the other person was not simple.
"Mr. Li, you are finally here." When Ye Fei saw Li Ling coming, he raised his head and introduced: "The person next to me is Lin. Apart from evil, he is the most powerful in my general protection group.
One of them is also the second on the gold list.”
"I've admired you for a long time." Li Ling said.
"I heard that on the city lord's birthday, Mr. Li won the first place in the ring and won the first prize of the Ten Directions Sword. It's really better to meet him than to be famous. He is indeed an old man who makes people feel special." Lin said.
The speed was very smooth, and the voice was very calm, as if he was talking to a piece of wood.
Li Ling was not surprised by Ling's arrogance. After all, this guy was in the city lord's palace, and only evil could hold him back. Without evil, he was the strongest person in the general protection group, and it was understandable that he was arrogant.
"It's nothing special, he's just a bad old man." Li Ling chuckled.
"Mr. Li Lao is so humble. If I have time, I would like to go to Mr. Li Lao's yard to compete and see Mr. Li's skills so that I can learn from him." Lin's tone was unkind and she had a very strong aura.
There's a provocative meaning in it.
"If Lin can be there at that time, I will accompany you." Li Ling did not show weakness.
This kind of competition between the general protection groups often happens, and City Lord Ye doesn't care at all. After all, as long as it doesn't cause too much trouble, and no one is killed, this competition is not a good thing.
"Both of you are my generals, Mr. Ye. It's okay to compete, but just stick to the key points and don't hurt the harmony." City Lord Ye spoke first.
"How could it be? We will naturally compete well, and we will never hurt Mr. Li's hair." Lin said with a smile.
It is impossible not to hurt a single hair, unless the difference in strength between the two is too great. This Lin obviously wants to give Li Ling a blow and let Li Ling know who is the second-in-command of the general protection group.
"Okay, you guys have to spar. After I explain the matter clearly, you can spar again when you have time in the future." City Lord Ye couldn't stand Ling's arrogance, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, Ye Fei was in urgent need of some masters. Although
Ling is arrogant, but she cannot be offended casually.
"I called you two here today because I have something that I need you to cooperate on. I think you both know that on my birthday a few days ago, Ye Xiong took advantage of my absence from the middle courtyard and stole it.
My Sky-shattering Ax, and then I escaped from the city lord's palace and disappeared without a trace." Ye Fei was slightly angry when he said this. After all, he was a domestic thief, how could he not make Ye Fei angry.
"City Lord, Ye Xiong escaped with the Sky-shattering Ax and either sold it or used it for himself. Therefore, the City Lord only needs to issue an announcement. Anyone who finds the shadow of the Sky-shaking Ax can report it to the City Lord's Mansion. In this way,
Come on, with more information, we will naturally be able to grasp each other's dynamics." Li Ling said.
"Mr. Ting Liling means that we should stay put and focus on collecting information." Ye Fei is very smart.
"If you collect more information, you will naturally get the opponent's clear location and route. It is only a matter of time to catch him." Li Ling said.
"It makes sense. I'll leave this matter to you to arrange. Now you can mobilize the guards of the City Lord's Mansion at will." Ye Fei said.
"It's not necessary. As long as the city lord's palace is the center and the news is spread, someone will soon come to explain Ye Xiong's latest situation." Li Ling said.
However, Ling was listening in the mist, not knowing the meaning of the conversation between the two.
In fact, what Li Ling used was a kind of information search. On Earth, there may be some networks where information can be collected, but here, you can only rely on people's mouths to collect information.
The center of information is the City Lord's Mansion.
After the announcement was posted, someone was indeed moved by the bounty, and a lot of information about the possible signs of Ye Xiong's appearance was sent. Once the information with high credibility was used, that person could get fifty Mo Crystals.
award.
Once this news spread, not only Yecheng, but also nearby Ruicheng and Tiancheng began to conduct a blanket search for Ye Xiong.
Li Ling calculated the time and found that today was the one-month period agreed with the old man. It was time to get the ginseng. Li Ling left the city lord's mansion and restored his appearance in a hidden place.
appearance.
Li Ling didn't bring Hei Lin out to avoid arousing suspicion in some people if there was no one in the hospital.
Arriving at the vegetable market, Li Ling walked directly to the old man's stall. There was a big bag full of ginseng in front of the old man. There were a total of thirty ginseng plants in it. Li Ling said with satisfaction: "Very good."
"Sir... um, can I pay for next month's Mo Jing in advance?" The old man looked at Li Ling with longing eyes.
"It's indispensable for you." Li Ling took out a leather bag from his pocket, threw it to the old man buying vegetables and said, "There are two hundred black crystals in it, for next month."
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." The old man smiled so hard that he could hardly close his mouth.
After Li Ling finished explaining, he found a place to disguise himself, and then returned to Xiyuan. Where Li Ling passed by, there were quite a few guards, nodding to say hello to Li Ling.
"Sir Li, we have collected a lot of information about the Sky-shattering Ax today. Most of the targets are pointed at one point, which is a village in the northern suburbs of the city. I heard that the Sky-shaking Ax appeared there ten times."
An information searcher appointed by Li Ling said.
"Very good, continue to collect information." Li Ling said. (To be continued...)
