It has to be said that sometimes, when dealing with street gangsters like Masan'er, intimidation can indeed bring unexpected miraculous effects.
Under Jiang Ning's threat, Ma San'er pinched her nose and reluctantly carried the letter to the gate of the city lord's mansion.
Before he even got close, sharp-eyed guards stepped forward to stop him.
"Stop, the city lord's palace is an important place, no outsiders are allowed to come near it!" The guard was also a ruthless murderer. His eyes widened and he almost made Ma San'er sit on the ground in fright.
"My lord, please forgive me." Ma San'er hurriedly knelt on the ground, raised the letter above his head with both hands, and said with a cry: "This villain is just here to deliver a letter, he is not worthy of my sword!"
A scoundrel like him who only dares to show his power in front of ordinary people, how can he withstand the momentum of the city lord's guard who kills people and drinks blood all the time.
The guard frowned and stepped forward to take the letter.
He was just an ordinary guard, and he did not have any real power compared to the captain of the guard, and could contact the senior officials of the mansion, so he did not recognize Huang Ling.
"What the hell, you think the City Lord's Mansion is your home and you dare to send any letter. Believe it or not, I will chop you with a knife!" the guard deliberately threatened.
Ma San'er was so frightened that she had runny noses and tears. She was trembling all over and couldn't utter a single word.
Fortunately, the guard was not a murderous person. Seeing him like this, he laughed twice and told Ma San'er to get out.
Masan'er rolled and crawled back to Jiang Ning.
"Master Ning, I have delivered the letter. Can I...can I leave?" He carefully looked at the young man in red in front of him and asked.
Jiang Ning didn't answer.
His eyes were always fixed on the guard who had taken the letter in the distance. When he saw the guard entering the mansion with the letter, he said calmly: "Go back to that black shop and wait for my news. If I find out that you are not here..."
Jiang Ning lowered his head slightly, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
"Believe me, even if you run away to the ends of the world, I can still get your head back."
Ma San'er's feet felt weak and she didn't even dare to say anything.
After he left, Jiang Ning chose a remote place to sit alone near the city lord's palace.
He wanted to see what Ouyang Qianqiu's reaction would be after reading the letter.
Not long after, the guard came out and stood at the door, looking left and right, followed closely by a group of armored guards.
After identifying the direction, the man who delivered the message led a group of people to chase him, and the direction they chased was exactly the direction Ma San'er left.
Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes slightly.
The sudden reaction made him unable to tell for a moment whether these people meant Ouyang Qianqiu or the young city lord.
But no matter what, at least he understood that the City Lord's Mansion was much more dangerous than he imagined.
It seems that rescuing Shi Lao and others requires more careful planning.
Jiang Ning hesitated for a moment, then turned around and disappeared.
Ma San'er is not as capable as those guards, but he is more familiar with the terrain of Euphorbia City. On the way back, in order to get away from the fierce god in Jiangning as quickly as possible, he chose a trail.
This choice also allowed him to avoid the pursuit of the guards by accident.
At the same time, in a deep garden of the city lord's mansion.
The face of the young man in fine clothes looked a bit ugly.
The young man's sunken eye sockets, sallow complexion, and skinny body do not look like a second-generation ancestor who has always been pampered.
This person is Ouyang Qianqiu's only son, the young lord of Euphorbia City, Ouyang Ao.
Ouyang Ao was looking at the letter with the absurd pattern in front of him. His right fist was clenched so tightly that he could faintly see the white knuckles on the back of his hand.
"Arrogant!" He punched the table with his fist and said with an angry face: "A mere desolate man dares to use chicken feathers as arrows to dominate our city of Euphorbia!"
Next to the young city lord, stood a tall and thin figure whose whole body was shrouded in black robes.
He just stood there so abruptly, but everyone around him seemed like they couldn't see him. It wasn't until he spoke aloud that everyone remembered that there was such a person in the hall.
"Young City Master, please don't be angry. You are just a minor character and it is not worth it." The voice of the man in black robe was very hoarse, and it was difficult to tell whether he was a man or a woman or his age.
Ouyang Ao turned to look at him, with a fierce look in his eyes: "Isn't it worth it? The letter has been sent to the mansion. If I hadn't taken precautions, it would have appeared on my father's desk now!"
The man in black robe turned a blind eye to his anger, and several strange laughs came from under the cloak whose face was completely invisible.
"What are you laughing at?" Ouyang Ao narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively: "Do you have any new ideas?"
The man in black robe paused and said, "I wonder what result the Young City Master wants?"
Ouyang Ao looked at him deeply and smiled.
"If I want him, I can't leave Euphorbia City!"
…
Jiang Ning did not go back to the black shop, but found an inn to stay.
After the waiter served the food and left, Jiang Ning sat by the window alone, carrying a wine bottle.
Euphorbia City at night is more lively than during the day.
The streets were brightly lit, and there were endless shouts, shouts, and laughter.
Jiang Ning was fascinated by what he saw, and his thoughts drifted away.
I don’t know what the current battle situation is in Huangsai, and I don’t know if Zhang Xuan and others escaped from the plague circle. Where did the woman go, and who was the one who threw her into the water?
Drifting from Dongzhou to Wuzhou, I happened to meet Mr. Shi who could cure the blood poison of the Five Plagues. Is this really just a coincidence?
Jiang Ning doesn’t believe it!
He vaguely felt that there was a big five-shaped hand behind him, which was directing everything now.
Such thoughts made him shudder.
Because he didn't know what the other party wanted to do, and whether the drastic change in Huangsai had something to do with the owner of the big hand, and why did he choose himself?
Jiang Ning's heart felt like it was tightly held in someone's hand, suppressing and suffocating...
By the time Jiang Ning recovered from this depressing feeling, the streets were deserted.
"It's late at night..." He sighed, raised his head and took two sips of wine.
The wine in Euphorbia is just like this city.
There is a sense of iron and blood in the aroma of the wine, it is very strong!
Even though Jiang Ning is already at the late stage of Jin Dan, he still feels a little overwhelmed after drinking a pot.
"It's full of ridiculous things, full of desolate debts..." Thinking of what happened during the day, Jiang Ning sighed after drinking.
A night of silence.
On the second day, Jiang Ning had just gotten up and washed up when he heard thumping footsteps in the corridor outside the door.
Noisy and chaotic, the pace is heavy.
There are many people wearing heavy armor outside!
"It's quite fast." Jiang Ning sneered, turned over from the window and left.
As the young city lord of Euphorbia City, it is not difficult to find Jiang Ning, especially since he has a group of armors dedicated to working for him.
But just relying on these people to catch Jiang Ning is not enough!
Jiang Ning did not stop after escaping, and jumped straight to the black shop where Masan'er was.
Originally he didn't want to do this, but now that the young city lord has taken action against him, Jiang Ning naturally has no reason to sit still and wait for death.
"You forced me to do this!" A stern look flashed in his eyes.
Arriving at the black shop, Masan'er stayed here honestly and didn't go anywhere. Also with him was the woman with heavy makeup and eight burly men.
"Master Ning, I don't know... I wonder if you have any other instructions?" Ma San'er saw him now, her whole head was big.
Jiang Ning smiled and said: "Don't be so nervous. I won't do anything to you. I just want you to help me introduce the steward of the City Lord's Mansion."
"I believe this matter shouldn't be difficult for you..."
