Wu Ming sat alone in the courtyard, tapping the table with the five fingers of his right hand very regularly, and said thoughtfully with his eyes.
"Fifty percent!"
Ku Ye replied without hesitation.
"I thought you would say 70%!"
Wu Ming was surprised.
Helian Liuruo and Fang Xiren seemed to be honest and told everything that should be said and what should not be said. However, with their careful thoughts, how could they listen to and believe two people who had only met each other once?
Not to mention that there is Jia Zhengjing between the two parties. Even if Jia Xiaopang promotes this matter in person, he may not fully believe it.
"Hmph, the two thief grandsons think their reasons are perfect, but there is a huge flaw, you should be aware of it!"
Kuye said disdainfully.
"good!"
Wu Ming nodded and said with a smile, "Although the treasures on the descendants of the three great demons are precious, what they are willing to take risks to enter the Quicksand Valley must be quite serious!"
"A treasure that can tempt three grandmaster-level descendants of heavenly demons is an extraordinary thing. If you try to fight for it, they will definitely turn against you!"
Kuye reminded.
"They didn't explain it, but their meaning was made very clear! If I didn't notice it, that's fine. If I got interested, I would naturally be a competitor!"
Wu Ming said calmly.
"There is not much time left for you. There is no time to make other preparations. I am afraid they have calculated this correctly before inviting you to cooperate!"
After hearing this, Wu Ming was silent.
With calculated calculations but no intention, the three giant thieves descended from the Sky Demon are probably fully prepared. Even if Wu Ming finally wants to fight for the real treasure that was not explained in advance, the chance of winning is slim.
What's more, with the relationship network of the three of them, it is easy to find out. Even if Wu Ming wanted to find help, he would not be able to do it. It is obvious that he is alone!
Otherwise, in this battle with Yuchishang, the warriors of the Song Dynasty would not even bother waving flags and shouting and showing off!
"It doesn't matter. I don't know what preparations they made, but they have only seen the surface of my strength."
After pondering for a while, Wu Ming lightly tapped the armrest, with a flash of light in his eyes, he rubbed two jade ornaments and said, "It's enough to cooperate sincerely when entrusted by others. It's a matter of loyalty to others. After all, I got benefits, but
If you dare to think wrongly... Quicksand Valley is also a good place to bury someone!"
Ku Ye stopped talking, knowing very well that Wu Ming's city was as deep as any old monster.
Others might have been fooled by the generosity of He Lian Liuruo, Fang Xiren, or even Chao Baobao, but Wu Ming was definitely not included.
The descendants of the three great thieves who can regard robbery as a legacy that has lasted for unknown generations must be decisive and ruthless in their actions and will not be easily manipulated by emotions.
In this regard, Wu Ming is better than them by more than one margin!
…
"Your Majesty, time is short, and I finally lived up to my expectations!"
At noon the next day, Qi Lianghu and others came to the door again and delivered three jade boxes.
"Isn't this inconsistent with what we agreed?"
Wu Ming squinted his eyes and said.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, as long as the city lord orders the transfer, the rest of the treasures will not be missing at all!"
Zhang Hongfei said.
"hehe!"
Wu Ming smiled noncommittally and took out the Silver Dragon Token.
Everyone's eyes were filled with greed, and their breathing was quickened.
The City Lord's Order not only represents the interests of Tianshui Town, but also represents a certain right to speak in Qianlongyuan. In a sense, it can even represent the warriors of the country, with countless warriors behind him.
The first five people looked at each other, but only three of them each took out two jade boxes or bags and placed them on the table.
Wu Ming was not polite. He opened them one by one and checked to make sure they were correct. Then he put all the treasures into the dragon robe, and in front of everyone, he reached out and touched the dragon order.
Buzz!
Silver light suddenly appeared, buzzing, and an invisible force dispersed.
Wu Ming frowned slightly, took a deep breath to eliminate the discomfort in his mind, stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Goodbye!"
Although the Dragon Order is in an ownerless state, the ban imposed by the City Lord's Mansion will not exclude everyone for the time being, which is considered more humane.
"My lord, walk slowly!"
Everyone sparsely returned the gift with their hands raised, and even stood up without any pretense. Almost everyone's eyes were on the city lord's order.
Wu Ming didn't take it seriously, turned around and walked out of the mansion, heading straight to a separate courtyard in the inner city, which was occupied by Long Ling by virtue of his privileges.
"My lord, please stay!"
Halfway through, a warrior sent a message from afar.
"Um?"
Wu Ming raised his brows slightly, and when he glanced at his consciousness, he was extremely surprised. The opponent turned out to be a warrior from the Middle Tang Dynasty. He clearly remembered that this person was a talented warrior under Yuchi Shang.
"My young marshal has resigned as city lord and has been handed over to his eldest grandson, the Crown Prince! But he promised that he will never change what he promised to the prince!"
After the man finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
"The eldest grandson?"
Wu Ming frowned and thought, a cold look flashed in his pupils, and looked back at the city lord's palace, "The person who is qualified to be called the heir apparent in the middle Tang Dynasty, and whose surname is the eldest grandson, should undoubtedly be the legitimate son of the eldest grandson of the Duke of Zhao. After all, eldest grandson Ling!"
Changsunji was the same age as Emperor Li Sheng of the Mid-Tang Dynasty. They grew up together since childhood and had a close personal relationship. He was his brother-in-law, the elder brother of Empress Changsun, and the uncle of Prince Li Longtai and King Li Cheng of Wei.
The difference is that Changsunji is a die-hard supporter of the King of Wei and the most powerful official behind the King of Wei. He is now a half-sage of the mixed family and an extremely strong man. He is nicknamed the Yin Man!
It is said that Li Sheng was able to win the throne because of his great contribution. You must know that Li Sheng is not the eldest son, but the third in line, with two brothers with outstanding achievements!
A person with a profound plan would usually be considered a great person if he could only count three steps at a time, but this man could count ten steps at a time, make a plan at every step, and make every plan. Although he could not be called a Wuhou of the time, he could still be regarded as a tycoon who planned the country!
He has four sons, the eldest son, Ling, is the youngest, but he is extremely smart and has won the favor and trust of his eldest son, Ji. He has shown extraordinary resourcefulness early on.
There are rumors that Li Sheng intended to marry Princess Li Luo of Jinyang to the eldest grandson's family, but he gave up because he had already married his eldest daughter, Princess Taihe, to eldest son of Zhao Guogong, eldest son, eldest grandson Xun, and was ill.
The eldest grandson's family is ranked first among the new top wealthy families in the middle Tang Dynasty. They are also relatives of the emperor. They are relatives of the emperor for two generations, which shows the great favor of the emperor!
But what really makes Wu Ming fearful is that Changsun Ling, who was not on the list of kings to be executed, was able to force Yuchi Shang to give in to the city lord's order, which shows his ability!
If nothing unexpected happens, in Tianshui Town, in addition to the children of military strategists, the Tianjiao warriors of the Middle Tang Dynasty will definitely be taken under his command. Even if there are still many factions among them, they will become the most powerful force in the vicinity.
"Trouble!"
Wu Ming scratched his head, unable to think of a good way to deal with this person, and walked towards the courtyard.
Buzz!
Suddenly, there was a flash of light on his body, and a copper-colored token flashed out from his waist. Before Wu Ming could react, it suddenly turned into light and flew towards the center of the inner city, where the city lord's palace was.
"Oops!"
Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, his face turned pale suddenly, and his body flashed towards the city gate.
"According to the order of the Chief of Sun City, Wu Ming of the Eastern Song Dynasty, as a human race, did not want to unite as one to attack the demons, and killed more than a dozen people including Yin Zhilong, the genius of the Tang Dynasty, for no reason. His methods were cruel and inhumane, and everyone would be punished! Today!
City Lord Changsun takes charge of the City Lord’s Order, eliminates all private fights in Tianshui Town, sets laws and regulations, and creates a place for the geniuses of the human race to rest and recuperate, so there will be no more chaotic fighting!”
Almost at the same time, loud and majestic shouts spread throughout the city, and a curtain of light rose up, covering the entire Tianshu Town.
"Nine-Party Conference!"
Wu Ming's pupils shrank continuously, his feet kept moving, and he passed by countless rooftops like lightning. Looking around, there was a team of nearly a hundred armored warriors at the city gate in front of him, blocking the gate.
It goes without saying that the other three gates must be the same, because this west gate was not occupied by the middle Tang Dynasty, but came from Xixia!
"What a great eldest son, Sun Ling!"
Wu Ming was secretly shocked.
When this situation occurred, it was undoubtedly Chang Sun Ling, who was in charge of the command again, who initiated a nine-party meeting and used some unknown means to convince the other eight deputy city lords to agree to expel him and strip away the courtyard tokens under his control.
In this way, anyone can attack him!
Although he knew that he was not popular and had few friends in the Song Dynasty, he did not expect that Qi Lianghu, Zhang Hongfei and others were so dirty that they sold him as soon as they got the order from the city lord.
Adding insult to injury is nothing more than that!
"The right way will help you a lot, but the wrong way will help you little! The ancients will not deceive me..."
Wu Ming had no time to sigh. Since he had chosen this path, he had nothing to regret. It was just meeting a Buddha* and killing a god if he stood in his way!
"This road is blocked!"
In front of the west city gate, four strong men with strong auras, wearing leather armor and brocade robes, and different costumes from the Central Plains, shouted coldly and fiercely.
boom!
Hundreds of Western Xiaxia prides took a step forward in unison, their momentum suddenly surged into the sky, and the hunting wind howled and swept across the surrounding area, making people tremble with fear.
"court death!"
Wu Ming's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he advanced instead of retreating, charging at an even faster speed.
"kill!"
Without any nonsense, the four strong men took the lead in taking action. Two of them had already taken off the long bows on their backs. The fierce whirlpool roared and gathered at the tip of the arrow.
Not only that, there were dozens of people behind the four people who were also bending their bows and setting arrows, and green and red light and shadow appeared on the arrow tips.
"Archmen of the Army!"
Wu Ming's pupils shrank, his heart suddenly jumped several times, and he felt a sense of uneasiness. While the opponent was setting an arrow, he used his Dragon Step to the extreme, leaving dozens of afterimages on the street in front of the city gate.
But what makes him awe-inspiring is that no matter where he dodges, he can't get rid of the uneasy feeling, and it even gets a little stronger!
call out!
There was a thunderbolt, a piercing sonic boom, and dozens of streams of light suddenly turned into a wisp of light, emerging with extremely powerful air-capturing power, locking Wu Ming tightly.
Wu Ming only felt his whole body tightening, and an unprecedented chill surged throughout his body. He had no way to hide!
Without any hesitation, he crushed a high-level defense talisman with a snap. At the same time as the light curtain rose, arrows roared and exploded. The light curtain rattled and set off layers of ripples.
Under the terrifying impact, Wu Ming couldn't help but retreated dozens of feet in succession, with a solemn look on his face.
The light curtain that could block the Grand Master's strike, after canceling the arrow light, was left with only a thin layer, and it seemed that it would collapse at any time!
The combined force of dozens of innate archery skills is comparable to that of a great master!
"hiss!"
Wu Ming took a breath and jumped into the corner of the street without hesitation, hoping to use the protective formations built in the buildings in the city to resist this mysterious arrow technique! (To be continued)
