"Huh?" When Chen Taizhong heard this, he stopped grilling skewers and directly raised his head to look at Wen Zengliang.
Although it was a faint glance, City Lord Wen only felt endless coercion rushing toward him, mixed with a strong murderous aura. He couldn't help but take two steps back, and felt that his hair was standing up.
After not seeing each other for twenty years, is Chen Taizhong's cultivation so strong?
After Chen Taizhong glanced at him, he was not in a hurry to speak. He paused before asking, "Can't you stop me?"
"They are people from the Longmen Sect, and... Heishuimen," City Lord Wen smiled bitterly, "Originally I wasn't too afraid of them, but now that the war is imminent, the governor hopes that Morrowind Castle will remain stable."
He was not afraid, but he didn't have any good means. If the county guard didn't support it, he wouldn't even be able to send out soldiers, so he would have to give in.
Chen Taizhong remained silent. After a long time, he threw the skewers in his hands on the shelf and said, "Don't they know what the word Wang Yanyan means?"
"I have already explained that they are righteous people," Wen Zengliang replied with a wry smile, "but they said that there is a secret treasure here that was buried by the people in front of Heishui Gate during the war between the demons and they want to find it."
"Secret library?" Chen Taizhong frowned even more tightly.
"Yes, Miku," City Lord Wen nodded, "According to the "Special Treaty on Sect Acquisition of Land", if there is no owner's land, the sect can forcefully buy it if it has enough reasons."
Chen Taizhong nodded thoughtfully, "So they want to buy it by force?"
"But I don't dare sell it to them." Wen Zengliang looked at him pitifully - you want me to guard this place, how can I have the courage to sell it?
And to be honest, if there really is a secret treasury, City Lord Wen still wants to find it himself, why should he give someone else an advantage?
"You are seeking death on the pole," Chen Taizhong smiled, then picked up the skewers and started grilling them. "How many people from Black Water Gate are in Morrowind Castle now?"
"They are searching along the Huishui River, mainly on the side of Bluestone City. Now they want to forcefully buy my land in Morrowind Castle." Wen Zengliang replied with a stern face, "They are mainly disciples of the Longmen Sect. There is only one middle-level master in the Blackwater Sect.
...The attitude is very bad.”
What he couldn't bear the most was the extremely bad attitude of the sect's disciples. They would buy forcibly without even listening to his explanation. "They also injured many of my Morrowind Castle patrolmen."
"People want to die. No one can stop them," Chen Taizhong sighed, then smiled slightly, "Okay, Lao Wen, you came all the way, are you hungry? Try my skewers..."
How could Wen Zengliang dare to refuse Chen Taizhong's invitation? He sat down, took out a bottle of wine from his storage bag, and handed it to the man in the bamboo hat, "Dongshang people, would you like some wine?"
Lao Yi didn't even raise his head. He paid no attention to his interest at all.
Master Wenbao didn't dare to care about it. This was just a courtesy. He didn't know much about Dong Yiming. But he knew that this person was a master who dared to run wild in the Qingyang Sect. It was normal for others to look down on him.
, it’s abnormal to like him.
However, he drew his sword upon seeing this and called out, "Master Wenbao, your companions are still in the rain."
"Oh, thank you girl." City Master Wen smiled at her, feeling a little fond of this little girl in his heart.
In fact, Wen Zengliang was a very strong person in Morrowind Castle, and he never cared about the feelings of the people below him. However, he was a little embarrassed at the moment, so he just wanted to use this topic to lighten the atmosphere.
So he went out and gave orders. After a while, his people retreated to a distance and set up tents. Only then did City Lord Wen come back, drinking and chatting with Ba Dao with a smile.
Wen Zengliang was also extremely efficient when he wanted to concentrate on pleasing someone. After a while, he had successfully gained Ba Dao's favor - she even decided to go to Morrowind Castle more often in the future.
Chen Taizhong finished grilling the skewers in his hands without saying a word, then turned around, glanced at Wen Zengliang, and said calmly, "Can you have direct contact with the Longmen Sect?"
"This is very easy," City Lord Wen nodded, "We have been in frequent contact with each other recently. Although we can't see their leaders, there is no problem in sending messages."
"Tell the Longmen Sect that I want the head of a disciple named Zhou Peiyuan, and it will be delivered within three days," Chen Taizhong spoke slowly, with no expression on his face, "Also, evacuate from the shore of Huishui River immediately...from now on.
Never come near."
This is great! Wen Zengliang was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He nodded vigorously, "Okay, I will definitely bring this to you, but... what if they don't listen?"
"When the words arrive, it will be none of your business," Chen Taizhong replied calmly, "It's just a matter of waiting for three days. Of course, if they scold you too harshly, you can also tell me...if they have the courage to scold them.
.”
"No problem, leave it to me," Wen Zengliang nodded with a smile, then raised his glass, "I've known Master Chen for a long time, and we haven't had a drink together yet. Come on, I'll do it today as a token of respect... Master Chen
It's up to you."
"City Master Wen, you are so thoughtful." Chen Taizhong picked up the wine glass. After drinking half the glass, he put the glass down and sighed softly, "Why are there so many blind people?"
After drinking with Chen Taizhong for a while, Wen Zengliang said goodbye and left overnight.
The sky cleared up early the next morning, but in the evening it started to rain lightly again.
Just when the sky was turning dark, there was the sound of horse hooves, and six wildebeests appeared not far away. The leader was a middle-aged man with unshaven beard and messy hair.
There were still two hundred meters away from the awning, so he dismounted and waded all the way through the muddy water, saying hello loudly, "You are coming back this time, are you still going?"
"This is my business, do you care?" Chen Taizhong rolled his eyes at him angrily. As soon as he saw the sloppy city lord who was full of bad intentions, he felt disgusted. "You promised me to control the Zhou family, and this is how you control it.
of?"
"When I found out, he had already joined the Dragon Gate Sect," Nante replied nonchalantly, "What else can I do?"
"That's what you want to say, then forget it," Chen Taizhong shook his head and sneered, "I just said that if there is a spiritual fairy in the Zhou family, the clan will be punished... you can leave."
"Isn't that true of you?" Nante walked into the awning, sat down on a rock, raised his hand to wave outside, "Nancy, I came here to see your Uncle Chen!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman in red came in like a whirlwind from outside. Her eyebrows vaguely resembled those of Nantes, and there was a bit of familiar baby fat on her cheeks. This reminded Chen Taizhong of a little girl who once faced him.
He cried and shouted.
"Uncle Chen, he's not even older than me!" The woman in red snorted, "I was already six years old when he ascended."
"Good cultivation," Chen Taizhong glanced at her and felt a bit approving in his heart. Nancy is in her forties or fifties, and she still looks like a child. What's especially rare is that she is also a ninth-level immortal.
To cultivate.
However, he was not interested in saying more to this customer who had done the rat food mission before. Instead, he glanced sideways at Nante and said, "Don't talk about it with me. I'll just tell you, Zhou family's affairs."
, if you don’t give me an explanation, I will give you an explanation.”
"Tsk, tsk, what's going on?" Nante frowned in distress. He really wanted to say something else first before getting involved in this topic, but he never thought that Chen Taizhong wouldn't give him this chance to make a detour.
So he sighed, "I haven't implemented this news clearly yet... Can you give me a few days first?"
"Haha," Chen Taizhong chuckled and nodded, "No problem, I will give you a lot of time to investigate the murderer of the Zhou family."
Nante was startled when he heard this, and then his face dropped, "My people, whoever wants to destroy the family...get through me first."
"Then it's a pity for my niece," Chen Taizhong looked at Nancy and shook his head helplessly, with a look of compassion on his face, "Does she think she lost her father when she was young? I don't think so... I can take care of Yu Wuyan's son.
, she doesn’t need me to take care of her anymore.”
"You want to kill my father?" Nancy was immediately annoyed when she heard this, her almond-shaped eyes widened, "You'd better figure it out, our surname is Nan Guo, not Nan!"
"Xingsha Nanguo? It's just a few real people," Chen Taizhong curled his lips, with a disdainful smile on his lips, "If you don't give me face, I won't give them face either. Your dad doesn't keep his word.
, you still dare to play tricks on me...Aren't you going to get on a pole and seek death?"
"You must not give me face?" Nante's face turned livid.
"Do you have a big face?" Chen Taizhong snorted softly from his nose, "Your Nan Guo family's real person is here, and I still won't give you face. If you don't believe me, just give it a try."
Nan Te was stunned for a while, then looked up to the sky and laughed, "Haha, Taizhong is still as bloody as before and has not changed his reckless nature. It is really gratifying."
Are you reckless? Chen Taizhong replied indifferently, "It's just that I'm a country boy. While you can still laugh out loud, let's laugh a few more times, and by the way, plan Nancy's future development in advance."
Nan Te didn't take this sinister threat seriously at all, but sighed softly, "Do you know how Zhou Peiyuan got into the Longmen Sect?"
"Why should I know?" Chen Taizhong replied casually. He knew that Nantes looked sloppy and rough, and did not look like a scheming man, but in fact he had a lot of tricks, and he really had no intention of pursuing those details - how Zhou Peiyuan progressed.
The Dragon Gate Sect, is this important?
Seriously, he wanted to counterattack, "Aren't you still unsure about Zhou Peiyuan?"
Nante laughed dryly. This guy was actually very thick-skinned. He was not embarrassed at all by having his lies exposed. Instead, he spoke righteously, "Actually, I have negotiated with the Longmen Sect and hope they hand over Zhou Peiyuan."
Chen Taizhong looked at him with a strange look: Little boy, you make it up...you make it up as hard as you can!
"What kind of look are you looking at!" Nante was obviously angry. He waved his fist and shouted loudly, "I really negotiated and thought they would give me this face, but... the Zhou family took out the Huishuibian
