() After exiting the gate of the "Tiantian Renjian City Lord's Mansion", dozens of brothers from the Hurricane Regiment had been waiting there for a long time, as well as the elite city guards led by Hua Dang, numbering no less than a hundred. Zang Fen and Tang
Ji Ze stood in front of a gorgeous carriage, waiting quietly for Luo Manduo to board the carriage. In the carriage, gifts for birthday celebrations at Duanmu Mansion were already prepared - a few ordinary jade ornaments.
I got everything from Zou Bituo's house without spending a penny.
Luo Manduo was very generous in some aspects, but stingy in others.
Luo Manduo got on the carriage, and a birthday celebration team consisting of more than a hundred people set off towards Duanmu Mansion. Hua Dang and Ma Wuji both wore their own black armor. Their men also wore armor and carried swords.
, carrying a crossbow and quiver. This battle does not look like a birthday celebration at all, but more like a war.
Zang Fen, Tang Ji and Luo Manduo were driving in the carriage. There was a secret box under the carriage, which contained the sacrificer and the sniper crossbow. These were Luo Manduo's preparations for the past ten days. So,
Even if the servant Zhan De ambush the killer at Duanmu's house and set a trap, Luo Manduo is confident that he can escape unscathed.
People were coming and going on the street and it was very lively. When the carriage passed through the market, Luo Manduo found that there were more people in the market than before, and several new shops were opened. Even the vendors setting up stalls on the ground were more crowded than usual.
There are many more. There is actually this flag flying on the roof of a shop, which reads - Long live Lord Luo Manduo!
This shop is obviously flattering Luo Manduo, the city lord, but it also illustrates a problem, that is, Luo Manduo's decree to open the market and reduce taxes is a decree that is beneficial to the people, and these businessmen especially welcome it.
"Sir, it's just like what you said. Although we have reduced taxes, the transaction volume has increased by one-third. This is just the beginning. In the future, our taxes will only increase, not decrease." Zang Fen said.
Luo Manduo nodded, then poked his head out of the car window and asked Ma Wuji, who was walking beside the carriage: "What about what I asked you to do? Has there been any progress?"
Ma Wuji responded: "Sir, I have sent my brothers to go to the brothels and casinos to find out. Once they grasp the situation, I will take action in the next two days."
"Very good, you all did a good job. Later, I will find some advanced training tips for you, and you can use the advanced tips to practice." Luo Manduo said with approval and also gave a reward.
"Thank you, sir!" Ma Wuji said excitedly.
Jin Ling'er, who was hidden in Luo Manduo's cochlea, knew that her job had come out again. But when she saw that Luo Manduo had taken control of the city and had his own people under his control, she was actually very happy. She
It is also clear that as the lord of the city who controls Richu, the more powerful the people under Luo Manduo's hands are, the stronger his control will be, and the greater the hope of reviving the Fire God Sect.
After chatting all the way, the team arrived at the gate of Duanmu Mansion.
"You stay in the car, someone will protect you and the carriage, don't move around." Luo Manduo told Tang Ji, and then got off the carriage with a few cheap gifts.
Tang Ji stayed in the carriage. She had to listen to all Luo Manduo's instructions. Luo Mando asked her to stay in the carriage, so she stayed in the carriage.
Luo Manduo entered Duanmu Mansion, and Hua Dang led twenty brothers from the Remu tribe to guard the carriage. Ma Wuji and the rest of his men followed Luo Manduo into Duanmu Mansion.
When the housekeeper of Duanmu Mansion who was responsible for receiving guests saw more than a hundred armed people walking in with Luo Mando, he didn't dare to care about the cheap gifts Luo Mando sent. He put on a smile and followed others to report it. No wonder.
The people in Duanmu Mansion were so nervous. Luo Manduo's battle didn't look like he was here to celebrate his birthday. It was like he was here to ransack his house.
Soon, Duanmukong and Duanmuxing came out to greet them in person.
This was the first time Luo Manduo saw Duanmu Heng. The last time, when he assumed the position of city lord, it was only Duanmukong who went to congratulate him on behalf of the Duanmu family. Did Duanmu Heng take Luo Manduo seriously?
capital, because the baron conferred by his Netherworld Cult is a noble of the Cult.
Duanmuheng doesn't look like a sixty-year-old man at all. He has a strong body, black hair, and no obvious wrinkles or bags under his eyes. Based on his appearance, he looks like he is in his forties at most.
.
"Haha, I have always heard that the current City Lord is a young and promising young talent. It is true when I see you today. City Lord Luo, you are a distinguished guest of my family. Your coming here has put a smile on my face.
It’s so glorious.” Duanmukong said with a smile.
"Haha, Sir Duanmu is so polite. I wish Sir Duanmu longevity as long as Nanshan, and may you be as blessed as the East Sea." Luo Manduo said smoothly.
"As happy as Nanshan Mountain? As blessed as the East Sea?" Duanmu Heng repeated Luo Manduo's birthday wishes, but he didn't understand it very well.
Only then did Luo Manduo realize that such birthday wishes were the birthday wishes of the original world. There was no such thing as "Nanshan" or "East China Sea" in Xuanfa Continent. He then said: "Nanshan is the big mountain in the south, and East China Sea is in the east."
The sea, haha, it doesn’t have any special meaning, it’s just a casual recitation for celebration.”
"So that's it, it rhymes, thank you." Duanmukong smiled and said: "However, City Lord Luo brought so many people here, they cannot enter the hall. After all, the hall is full of distinguished guests, and
, the space is limited and cannot accommodate them.”
Luo Manduo turned around and said, "You guys wait for me outside the hall."
Ma Wuji responded: "Yes, sir."
Duanmukong made an invitation gesture and said: "Please, Lord Luo."
"Thank you." Luo Manduo said. As they passed each other, he suddenly whispered to Duan Mukong: "She's on me. She said she wanted to see how you behave. It's up to you."
Duanmukong's smile suddenly froze on his face. He knew very well who "she" Luo Manduo was talking about, it was Jin Ling'er who could make his life worse than death just by chanting a spell! He said calmly: "Don't worry, I know how.
Do."
With Duanmukong's words, Luo Manduo felt more at ease, and he followed Duanmukong into the hall.
There are already many guests in the hall, most of them are well-known people who have left the city, and some people who have left the city. But no matter where they come from, they can stand in the splendid hall of Duanmu Mansion.
None of the people here are farmers or woodcutter. They all have their own backgrounds and their own power.
Among the guests in the hall, the male guests were well-dressed, holding wine glasses, talking in twos and threes. Most of the female guests were wearing gorgeous clothes and sparkling jewelry. They were either standing next to their men or looking for targets.
, waiting for the opportunity to use their beauty and sexy bodies to capture their favorite prey. Most of these women are unmarried daughters of wealthy families, as well as noble ladies. In short, in this magnificent hall, there are many people standing in the hall.
The men and women here all reveal their nobility and the smell of money.
Luo Manduo didn't like this smell, nor did he like this environment.
"There are many people here and the soul energy is mixed, so I started to take action." Jin Ling'er's voice sounded in Luo Manduo's cochlea.
Luo Manduo did not respond, but just nodded. Just after that, Jin Ling'er turned into a line of clear light that was invisible to the naked eye and disappeared into the hall. No one could see her existence, not even Luo Manduo.
Knowing where she went, she had a range of one thousand meters or more, which was enough to search the entire Duanmu Mansion.
When Luo Manduo walked into the hall, many people's eyes focused on him. Luo Manduo is now the most dazzling figure in the city, and his four newly issued decrees have also affected the nerves of many people. Of course, starting from this
The businessmen who profited from the four decrees like Luo Manduo very much, but those who suffered losses due to the influence of these four decrees do not like Luo Manduo. When they look at Luo Manduo, their eyes are full of
With a hint of hostility.
The one with the most obvious hostility in his eyes is Chen Ziqiao who is looking at the casino. As the owner of the "Richu City Casino" among the only three casinos in Richu City, Luo Manduo's decree to close private casinos has touched his interests.
, forced him into a corner, with no way to retreat. Therefore, he did not hide the hostility in his heart at all.
Luo Manduo had seen Chen Ziqiao's portrait, which was provided by Zang Fen, so he recognized him at a glance. Being looked at by Chen Ziqiao with hatred, it was difficult for him not to notice Chen Ziqiao. However, he did not put it aside.
Chen Ziqiao took it seriously. According to Zang Fen's information, he had already known it. This Chen Ziqiao was a mysterious warrior. His mysterious spiritual power was not clear, and he also had a very mysterious gangster background. Behind this Chen Ziqiao, there were many people.
There may be a mysterious bandit group, but he doesn't care. If he is wise, Chen Ziqiao should sell his casino obediently. If he is not wise, then death will be waiting for him - this is Luo Mando's own bottom line
!
Standing with Chen Ziqiao were the Servants of Zhan De and the new Saint Guard Qin Yu who had recently been transferred to the Richu City Temple. These three people stood together, with hostility and murderous intent hidden in their eyes.
Luo Manduo secretly said in his heart: "Chen Ziqiao, who runs the casino, was forced into a corner by me. When he is cornered, he will definitely look for support, so he may be on the same front as the Servant of Zhan De. This
The next birthday banquet is for me, so when we do it later, I have to be more careful about Chen Ziqiao, and Qin Yu who is next to Servant Zhan De."
Although Luo Manduo has never met Qin Yu, he also has his own intelligence system. His intelligence personnel collect intelligence from all aspects for him, so detailed that he even knows which family will marry his daughter and which family will marry his wife. Netherworld
There is an extra holy guard in the temple of the divine religion, not to mention such things.
While he was thinking about it, Divine Servant Zhan De and Qin Yu walked towards him. Chen Ziqiao was two steps behind and also walked over.
"Are they going to take action now? Is this too impatient?" Luo Manduo thought in his heart and became more vigilant. He was not worried, let alone afraid. When he entered the hall, he
After observation, there is no very powerful black warrior in this hall. There is no such person who is several levels above him and can kill him.
"Haha, it turns out that the Lord of City Luo is here." Divine Servant Zhan De greeted with a smile.
Luo Manduo also had a smile on his face, "Haha, it turns out that the Servant of God Zhan De is also here. I, I have always wanted to go to the temple to make a wish, but I am busy with official duties and have been unable to get away. I will wait for this period of time
After I’ve been busy, I will definitely come to the temple to make a wish. I am a loyal believer of the Netherworld Cult, and the great Moon Goddess is the only true god I respect most.”
He talks one thing and thinks another. Luo Manduo's ability in this regard is no lower than that of the businessmen and nobles in this hall.
"City Lord Luo D is a believer in our Netherworld God Religion, which makes me deeply gratified. City Lord Luo D is indeed a busy man. These four recent decrees have given the city a completely new look. By the way, I don't know about your lord's decision to close private offices.
When will the decree on the hospital and casino be implemented?" Servant Zhan De asked.
"There is no definite date yet." Luo Manduo sighed deliberately, "Gambling and piaoji are both immoral things, and the operating conditions are also very chaotic. Private casinos and jibes are not
Standards, so I want to rectify it and let the government run the casinos and casinos. In this way, the situation will be improved. After all, the official casinos and casinos are the official casinos and casinos, right?
There is no deception, prices are clearly marked, health and disease will be controlled, this is something that is beneficial to everyone. However, the implementation of this decree is difficult, some private hospital owners and casino owners are unwilling to give up their businesses.
I also have a headache about this matter and don’t know what to do.”
"Huh! Of course no one is willing." Chen Ziqiao snorted coldly, unable to help but say something.
"Huh? Who is this?" Luo Manduo looked at Chen Ziqiao, pretending not to recognize him.
"Chen Ziqiao! The owner of the big casino in the city!" Chen Ziqiao said coldly.
Just when Zhan De Divine Servant and Qin Yu, who were waiting to watch the excitement, thought that the two of them would quarrel, Luo Manduo ignored Chen Ziqiao again. He said: "You three chat slowly, I will find a place to sit down."
Sit down and have a glass of wine. My legs are so sore from riding in a carriage."
Chen Ziqiao suddenly wanted to rush up and give this guy a knife. He wanted to talk to Luo Manduo, but Luo Manduo was not even interested in talking to him more, and looked like he was convinced. Moreover, Luo Manduo
His attitude is really arrogant and rude to the extreme!
Chen Ziqiao turned back and looked at an angle. He moved his mouth slightly, and a woman standing in the corner nodded slightly, and then moved towards Luo Manduo's position intentionally or unintentionally.
