After the fighting, Luo Chen left with Shen Ke. He had no interest in the so-called handover of military power.
The appearance of the Evil Soul Order completely disrupted his next steps, and his original plan to control Licheng also faded away because of this.
After returning to Zhong Mansion, Luo Chen first drank a cup of tea with Butler Wei, and then went to visit Di Gang. To be honest, he didn't really have much favorable impression of this cheap father-in-law, if not for seeing him.
For Shen Ke's sake, he didn't bother to care about his life or death.
Di Gang was seriously injured. Although Luo Chen used a petal of Nirvana Dao Lotus to catch his breath, if things continue like this, the Yuan Shen who suffered heavy injuries will still slowly collapse.
At this moment, the Shang Mansion was full of guests, and aristocratic families from all over Licheng were flocking in. Often, congratulations and flattery could be heard before anyone even stepped into the mansion.
In the courtyard of the mansion gate, the businessmen's children stood there one by one, aloof, and from time to time, there were a few strange sounds mixed in.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Pei? What kind of evil wind is blowing today to bring you here, Mr. Pei?"
Shang Lingling had a sneer on her face and shook her plump bucket waist, which was as thick as the top and bottom.
Shang Lingling, the second lady of the merchant, has a strong physique and is not far behind Wang Zhenzhu. The only difference is that although Wang Zhenzhu is fat, she has a standard oval face with regular facial features. Once she loses weight, she will definitely have
The potential to grow into a beautiful woman.
But Shang Lingling is different. Not to mention the bumps on her face, her whole body is almost fat. At first glance, she thought it was a human-shaped oil can, so if she puts it in a pot and deep-fries it
, at least it can produce hundreds of kilograms of oil!
Coupled with his sarcastic mouth, it is really annoying and disgusting! If he didn't have a business backer behind him, he might have been killed many times.
He shifted his gaze and looked towards the opposite side of Shang Lingling. He saw a young man dressed as a young boy closing the paper fan in his hand, acting gentle and elegant. The young man stepped forward, folded his hands, bent down and said with a smile:
"I've met the second lady."
Pei Jun is truly the number one son of the Pei family. He is extremely talented. Even his talent in martial arts is not weak. In the Pei family, except for the main line controlled by Pei Qianying, he has already become one of the major branches of the Pei family.
It has the support of the vast majority of the tribe.
Once Pei Qianying's position in the Pei family is overthrown, the person in front of him is likely to be the next person in power of the Pei family!
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Although Shang Lingling is a little bit sarcastic on weekdays, this sarcasticness is usually only directed at women who are prettier than herself. She is still relatively gentle towards handsome men, although her gentleness is not obvious to Pei.
Jun looked a little shuddering, even a little ferocious.
But in order to be able to hold on to the merchant's thigh, he risked his life today.
In the Pei family, although he has obtained the support of many clan elders through some means, he knows very well that it is impossible to sit in that seat just relying on those old guys. Those old guys are all old, and the passage of time has passed.
Grinding and washing has flattened the edges and corners in their hearts. They are content with the status quo and it is no longer of much help to themselves. Therefore, they have to find another supporter!
According to his previous plan, he originally wanted to use the hands of the city guards to impeach and suppress the woman. However, it was a pity that due to a martial arts competition, he not only lost his wife, but also lost his troops, and it was all in vain.
It cost one hundred thousand gold coins.
The Pei family is a very special family. In Licheng, no aristocratic family dares to underestimate this family. There is no other reason than that the Pei family made its fortune by selling information. God knows how many spies the Pei family has secretly cultivated and infiltrated over the years.
Wherever you go, if you are found guilty and some secrets within the family are revealed, the gain will outweigh the loss.
Because no one can guarantee whether there are spies planted by the Pei family in such a large family.
In addition, the Pei family does not have only one house. The clan members are scattered and not fixed. Moreover, the identities and information of many members of the family are hidden. Even if someone wants to touch the Pei family, they cannot do so.
Catch them all in one go.
It is precisely because of this that the Pei family has been living in peace and harmony these years. Of course, the Pei family is also very smart. Any news that involves the secrets of major families and that the Pei family cannot afford to offend is prohibited.
Sold.
Therefore, the big families in Li City would turn a blind eye.
As for those second- and third-rate small aristocratic families, they don't have that kind of consideration.
There is a lotus pond in the backyard of Shang Mansion. It is summer, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, and the fragrance of lotus roots is fragrant.
It was a scorching hot day in mid-to-late June. Pei Jun was picking flowers and leaves, his movements were coherent and agile, and extremely free and unrestrained. He took off a mint hat and placed it on Shang Lingling's head to shade it.
After a few sweet words, Shang Lingling was already so sweet that she couldn't find her.
A whole day passed, until dusk, when Pei Jun left the Shang Mansion under Shang Lingling's reluctant gaze, turned around and got into a carriage, and with a sound of vomiting, the carriage drove away.
The next day, the black-armored army of the city lord's palace gathered at the city guard's garrison to take over the military power. The moment he got the city guard's garrison talisman, the Shang commander could no longer hold back the ecstasy in his heart and threw his head up and laughed.
.
Three thousand black-armored troops, plus five thousand city guards, that's a total of eight thousand people. They are all in his hands. From today on, he wants to see who else dares to disobey in Li City.
Myself! Hahahaha...
In the city lord's mansion, a lonely figure sat on the cold stone steps. The man's face was unkempt and he looked tired. After a long time, he revealed a look of relief.
This person is naked, with a special red powder smeared on his back and chest. After absorbing heat, the powder liquefies into gelatinous mucus and evenly covers the surface of the body, repairing the cracks all over the body.
.
"How are you recovering?"
As the voice fell, Gui Ji, dressed in a bright red robe, appeared behind Li Tianlong.
"No problem, it's really interesting. I like this feeling more and more. This technique is really magical. It actually allowed me to open up twelve major acupuncture points out of thin air. If I continue at this rate, I will definitely be able to do it in less than three months."
It allows me to completely break through the shackles of my own body and enter the nine-star soul fighting master realm!"
Li Tianlong turned around, casually put on the robe that fell aside, and said with a ray of evil intent: "It is indeed the supreme holy book of the Evil Soul Master Alliance. Even if it is just a simplified fragment, it is still so terrifying."
While speaking, Li Tianlong reached out and held Gui Ji in his arms, teasing her wantonly.
"You also know that what you are practicing is just a fragment after all, and it will have serious side effects. Before you get the real holy book, you must not change the techniques you practice without authorization."
Gui Ji resisted the squeezing of her big hands under her clothes. She couldn't help but speak out to remind her. As soon as her words reached her mouth, she was replaced by a cry of pain. Then, her clothes exploded, exposing a large area of white snow. The scene was unsightly.
, cannot be described in words...
On the first day of the handover of military power in the city guard garrison, at least half of the city guard garrison commanders asked to resign. This made the commander of Shang University look extremely ugly. You must know that all those who are qualified to serve as city guards
Those who hold the position of commander of the garrison have the lowest cultivation level of the four-star peak soul fighting master realm, which is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary city guards.
But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the city guard garrison is completely different from the black armored guard. The army to which the city guard belongs is strictly hierarchical.
A commander directly or indirectly leads at least ten city guard team captains. Once a commander resigns or is fired from his position, it will easily lead to a joint situation.
At that time, it will not only be a few commanders who resign, but also the generals and captains in charge of the city guards, large and small!
During this critical period, if one person makes a mistake, the consequences will be very serious. Once these people all leave, the Shang Da Commander, as the new head of the palace, will not be able to control the nearly five thousand city guards at all.
Don't forget, in the past two years, there have been many conflicts between the Black Armored Army and the City Guards. Without the restraints of these team captains and the City Guard Commanders, once the two armies meet again, something will happen. Why?
Therefore, the leader of Shang Da has been exhausted these past few days.
Yuan Tengfei is aloof and arrogant. He will definitely fulfill the agreement he made. But if you want him to work under the commander of Shang University, I'm sorry, this is impossible, because in his opinion, he is not qualified yet.
.
Think about it, who among the generals of the Divine Army is not a proud and arrogant person?
…
"If it hadn't been for what happened back then, maybe I would have bathed in the battlefield and returned to the dust, right?"
After taking off his military uniform, Yuan Tengfei slumped down on a chair and watched the children chasing and playing in the courtyard. He felt very peaceful, but this was not what he wanted.
As a civilian soldier and a qualified soldier, he has always regarded protecting the empire as his own duty, which is more important than his own life! In his opinion, the best destination for a soldier is to fight hand in hand with his comrades around him.
Enemy, protect your home and country! Bury your bones on the battlefield and wrap your corpses in horse leather!
However……
"Oh."
Yuan Tengfei couldn't help but laugh out loud. Living in seclusion here for these years, he felt that his iron bones were almost calcified. It was good that he was relieved of all the burdens and it was time to return to himself.
Although the Divine Army is gone now, he is willing to fight in the name of the Divine Army. If there is any chaos in the empire, it will be an internal dispute within Tiandou. He will never allow enemy troops to invade!
At night, when a gust of cool breeze blew by, Yuan Tengfei opened his eyes, which he had closed autistically. He sat up and got out of bed. There were no candles in the room, and his vision was blurred and pitch black.
Yuan Tengfei stood there. Finally, he seemed to have made some determination. He dragged out the rotten wooden box hidden under the bed, gently blew away the dust on it, and opened it with trembling hands.
.
Inside the box was a set of fiery red armor that seemed to be burning with blazing fire, and the firelight illuminated the entire room.
