After the leader of the Shang Dynasty left, Gui Ji appeared next to Li Tianlong. She hesitated many times and wanted to say many things, but they were all stuck in her throat.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Finally, she couldn't help but speak. She could not see through the man in front of her more and more. His behavior was weird and unpredictable. Sometimes she even wondered whether he was a man like herself.
The evil soul master, because of his sometimes methods, even she felt a little creepy.
Over the past year, he has been secretly hiding in the city lord's palace, constantly planning something. It seems that he has retired to seclusion, but in fact, all the troubles in Licheng are in his hands!
"Do you know what you are actually doing?"
Gui Ji lightly bit her red lips, biting her teeth tightly, leaving traces of blood red. Gui Ji, the only survivor of the five evil spirits, has another identity, that is, the Fourth Lady of Licheng.
After Licheng was beaten back to its original shape, the city lord's palace was replaced. Now, the person who sleeps with the lord of Licheng has been running around and disappearing. The only one who is still with him so far is this person.
The fourth lady.
"You don't understand? I thought you understood me best."
Li Tianlong raised a glass of wine from nowhere. He raised the glass high above his head, tilted the glass, and let the wine in the glass slowly spill on the ground. He opened his mouth and spat out: "Sacrifice the road!"
"What way to sacrifice?" Gui Ji asked.
"Sacrifice yourself." Li Tianlong replied with a smile.
"Maybe I have understood something. I think you are really crazy!" He took a deep breath and marveled at this man's huge ambition.
"This road is difficult, but I will slowly step on the corpses to get to the top. Isn't it the truth that once I succeed, thousands of bones will wither? What's more, there is no need for me to come forward in person."
Li Tianlong smiled very naturally. He slowly turned around to look at his fourth wife and said seriously: "I need your help."
"You are seeking death, do you know? What qualifications do you have to fight for the throne? Although you have secretly cultivated a large number of dead soldiers, but with this little trick, you are basically stumbling upon an egg with a rock. I advise you that it is best to
It’s better to put away your petty thoughts.”
"You don't understand. You just need to tell me where your Evil Soul Master Alliance branch is. For the rest, you just have to wait and see."
Li Tianlong smiled evilly, with an eerie and eerie light all over his body. He slowly turned around. There, there was a sand table topographic map. The sand table was very large, three meters long and two meters wide.
Half, and in the remaining half, there is a small red flag stuck in an inconspicuous place. If someone who knows the sand table is here, he can tell at a glance that the place where the red flag is stuck is Licheng.
?
…
Three days passed by and it was already the last day. Luo Chen once said that in three days, he would hear the news of the demise of the Li family. This was not just talk.
But now it seems that the dear Commander-in-Chief of Shang University regarded his original words as farts.
In Zhong Mansion, under the shelf of the grape pavilion, Butler Wei dug out a jar of fine wine that had been gathering dust for twelve years. An old man and a young man sat opposite each other, toasting to each other and drinking. The food to go with the wine was very simple, just a plate of peanuts.
After a few drinks, both of them were slightly tipsy. Butler Wei said, "The water in Licheng is not as shallow as you think. It is very deep. Be careful of getting flooded."
Luo Chen and Shen Ke left Wanfo Mountain and came to Licheng, not just to avoid hiding. When Butler Wei said this, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
"Licheng is located in a barren area. Outside the city, it is desolate and desolate. It is all wasteland, not to mention food. Even weeds can grow here."
"I don't understand." Luo Chen drank a glass of wine. He didn't know when he started to drink too much.
"No, you know very well in your heart, you know better than anyone else, that Licheng is too remote and its geographical location is not obvious. After the separation of Tiandou, this desolate area happened to become a narrow strip similar to the dividing line.
, it became a no-man’s land!
You want to control this?"
Butler Wei revealed Luo Chen's thoughts in one sentence, leaving him unable to say anything.
"You also want to be on top?"
Luo Chen rolled his eyes: "I don't have that big ambition. Licheng is a good place. It's remote and has a small target. The national war has just been explained. The next civil war will be even more cruel. I want to find a quiet place."
Stay."
Manager Wei shook his head, thinking, did this guy really think of himself as an old fool? If you want to be clean, just come and live in Licheng. What does this have to do with controlling a city?
"I like quietness. Licheng is too chaotic for my liking." Luo Chen opened his mouth and gave the answer.
"Just for this?"
"What else?" Luo Chen shrugged his shoulders, and Wei Changfeng was speechless. This was really a strange reason.
After drinking all the wine in the cup, a jar of three kilograms of wine fell into the stomachs of the two of them. Luo Chen's drinking capacity was not very large. If he did not rely on soul power to refine it, half a kilogram of wine would be enough to overwhelm him.
In the afternoon, Luo Chen went out alone. Is this the last day?
At this moment, at the entrance of the Brilliant Shang Mansion, Luo Chen came here alone. At this moment, a carriage happened to be stopping here, and a middle-aged man who was nearly forty years old jumped out of it.
The man is dressed in a rich and powerful manner, with the aura of a superior. There is a jade pendant hanging on his waist. On the jade pendant, there is a big word "Li". This person is none other than the acting head of the Li family, Li Sheng!
Not only the Li family, but soon there were carriages parked here one after another. With curiosity, Luo Chen took advantage of the wave of people and successfully walked in.
The Shang Mansion was on level one alert, and there was a dullness in the air that made one's heart heavy. Those who came were all the powerful people in Licheng, big and small.
Luo Chen followed them to a hall. After entering, he consciously found a relatively remote place to sit down without giving the slightest thought.
After everyone arrived and waited for a cup of tea, the commander of Shang Da slowly appeared in everyone's sight. At this time, a servant brought tea and snacks. The number of people invited this time was limited, so the next
The handicaps and snacks prepared by each person were equal, but because there was one more person, one person's table was empty, which was a bit embarrassing.
Luo Chen was drinking tea and eating snacks. If the eyes of everyone present were not focused on the top position, his picture of a starving man eating would have attracted strange looks from the neighboring tables.
But even so, it still attracted some strange looks from the servants.
The leader of Shang University was sitting there majestically. His eyes were scanning below. Luo Chen was sitting in a special position. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. He glanced at it and found that it was in the blind spot of his sight.
"Since everyone has arrived, I will directly say that a country cannot be without a king for a day, and a city cannot be without a city lord for a day.
The vacancy of the Lord of Li City has been vacant for some time, what do you think of this?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the hearts of everyone present were shocked. Those who can sit here are all smart people. There is no fool. Shang Datong's words before taking the lead really made people think more.
After a commotion, I saw the head of a second-rate family who was sitting down standing up with a smile and clasped his fists, saying: "Lin very much agrees with what Commander Shang said. The position of City Lord has indeed been vacant for some time. It is time to choose a responsible person."
The right candidate.”
As soon as his voice fell, as if it had been agreed upon long ago, someone immediately asked: "Who can take on the big responsibility?"
"Wang thinks that the Commander-in-Chief of Shang is very good. He is young and promising, and he is the Commander-in-Chief of the City Lord's Mansion. He is very suitable for this position."
In the first seat, the leader of Shang University smiled slightly. He still did not speak, but quietly waited for the performance below.
"The Commander-in-Chief of Shang University is indeed very suitable for this position."
Li Sheng drank his tea and spoke calmly. His answer put an extra smile on the face of the Shang Commander.
Of course, some people agree, and naturally some people oppose it, especially those families who are hostile to merchants.
"I don't think this is appropriate. The selection of the city lord is such a top priority. It can only be appointed and dismissed after a previous report. The rules cannot be broken."
"Haha, I think Mr. Kong is always confused, isn't he? The fall of Emperor Tiandou's clan has already passed away. Who will criticize the memorial? Are you, Mr. Kong?"
The head of a vassal family taunted him. Mr. Kong was out of breath after a sentence. He slammed the table and got up: "You are so presumptuous! Even if there is no approval from the emperor, at least it must be made public and an election of all people should be held.
The people in Licheng recommended and selected him.
How can we be careless about such a big event?"
"Haha, I think this matter doesn't need to be so troublesome. All of you here are powerful in Licheng. One person can replace a thousand people. The process is not important, what is important is the result."
The commander-in-chief of Shang Dynasty spoke. He had made it very clear. He only wanted to see the results! This gave many people here a different taste.
In other words, the word "result" is very strong and has double meanings. Some wise people couldn't help but be smart.
Snap!
Suddenly, groups of black-armored troops poured in from outside the courtyard of Shang Mansion, marching in neat steps, giving people a sense of chilling.
"Hmph! Commander of Shang Da, I dare to ask you, what do you mean, are you threatening me?"
Mr. Kong looked fearless. The Kong family is an old and first-class family in Licheng. The family background is so strong that no other Li family can compare with it. With this confidence!
"Haha, does anyone else want to say anything?"
You ungrateful old thing! A slight chill flashed in the eyes of the Shang Commander, and he said calmly to the people sitting down.
"What Mr. Kong said is reasonable. The position of city lord should be open and fair, so that we can convince the public!" Another person objected after Mr. Kong.
"Who else?" The leader of the Shang Dynasty remained calm. Eight people, headed by Kong Lao, spoke out in succession to rebut, and some of them spoke fiercely and even cursed loudly.
Suddenly, the Shang Mansion Hall became noisy because of this.
"The tea is gone. Go and make me two more pots of good tea. Oh, by the way, these snacks are also very good. Let's have a plate too."
Amidst the noise, Luo Chen spoke to a maid from the Shang Mansion who was serving beside him. His voice was not loud, but who were the people present? Deaf? Absolutely not.
"Boy, who are you?"
You must know that those present are all the heads of the famous families in Licheng. They all have good cultivation and can listen to all directions. How can they hide it from their ears? In addition, Luo Chen did not deliberately lower his voice.
Gu, Luo Chen's words fell into everyone's ears clearly. (To be continued)
