Duan Zhanlong hesitated for a moment and then spoke bravely: "Xia Qingchen said that he will not join your army, but he is willing to use one of your Broken Star Tiankeng cultivation scrolls in exchange for him to do something for you."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Duan Zhanlong regretted them.
How can you say this?
Any prince would laugh angrily after hearing this, right?
An empty promise in exchange for a training scroll from the Broken Star Tiankeng? Does this mean the prince is being taken advantage of? Is it easy to deceive him?
Duan Zhanlong's whole body tensed up, ready to bear the eldest prince's angry roar.
Based on his understanding of the eldest prince's character, getting angry was the easiest thing to do.
But after waiting for a long time, I didn't hear the eldest prince speak. I couldn't help but raise my head and take a careful look, only to find that the eldest prince looked thoughtful, but he didn't mean to be angry.
"What were his original words?" Surprisingly, the eldest prince was very calm.
Duan Zhanlong was stunned for a moment and said: "That's exactly what he said."
The eldest prince fell into deep thought again and closed his eyes to think.
It can be seen that the training scroll is also an extremely important resource for the eldest prince, and he cannot make a decision easily.
But in Duan Zhanlong's eyes, it was already a miracle that the eldest prince was not angry.
Agreeing to this deal is almost impossible.
However, after just a brief thought, the eldest prince calmly opened his eyes and said: "Let him come to the imperial capital, and I will give him a cultivation scroll."
What?
Duan Zhanlong's jaw dropped and he asked in surprise: "First Prince, is this appropriate?"
Aren't you afraid that the eldest prince's staff will be collectively dissatisfied if you hand over the training scroll to an outsider?
The eldest prince's eyes reflected the distant skylight, and he said slowly: "A lot of money is easy to find, but talents are rare. The training scroll is certainly precious, but if he can really be used by me once, it will be worth it."
"I'm very curious about how capable a person who can calmly enter the territory of the Black Shark Demon King alone is."
"Tell him to come to the imperial capital within ten days."
After finishing speaking, the sky signal was turned off.
Duan Zhanlong was so shocked that he could not speak for a long time. The result turned out to be exactly what Xia Qingchen said, and the eldest prince agreed!
He had to recall Xia Qingchen's words, status determines vision.
People with different perspectives view the same thing in different ways.
Duan Zhanlong only saw the preciousness of the training scroll, but the eldest prince saw Xia Qingchen's potential.
The two are completely different.
Back in the cave, Duan Zhanlong looked at Xia Qingchen who was quietly drinking tea, took a breath and said: "The eldest prince agreed, but the transaction must be done in person."
"time."
Xia Qingchen's knowing calmness made Duan Zhanlong inexplicably awed. He had a feeling that he was not facing a young man, but an old monster that had lived for thousands of years.
"Within ten days."
Xia Qingchen nodded: "We will arrive within ten days."
Then, Xia Qingchen closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing to himself, leaving Duan Zhanlong speechless for a while, so he raised his hand and left: "Then let my daughter continue her studies in Dean Xia's academy. I, the city lord, still have official duties to be busy with.
"
Xia Qingchen said: "Go slowly."
Duan Zhanlong turned around and left the academy, arriving at the large open-air platform. A gust of cool breeze blew by, making his back feel chilly. He was shocked to realize that at some point, some sweat was flowing down his back.
He couldn't help but look back and stare at the deep mountainside, as if there was a pair of piercing eyes watching him in the darkness, which made Duan Zhanlong smart.
"This son is very human!" Duan Zhanlong commented secretly in his heart, then turned around and stepped into the void, making a move with his palm: "Retreat the troops!"
Hula la——
The golden-armored guards gathered all over the sky roared away, like a vast sea of people passing by in the sky.
The crowd was talking a lot.
"it's over?"
"It seems a little long."
"With City Lord Duan's strength, he can completely destroy it with just a few moves, and it won't take so long."
"You're stupid! City Master Duan created such a momentum, didn't he just want to attack Xia Qingchen from a spiritual level? How could he go in and start killing without saying a word? Of course he must torture the other party and then kill him."
"I see, there are probably a lot of corpses in this academy, and there is a high probability that Xia Qingchen doesn't even have ashes left."
In the crowd, Wu Yuan showed a somewhat proud smile.
"Then Xia Qingchen brought it upon himself." Wu Yuan intervened: "Who told him to kidnap the city lord's daughter with ill intentions?"
In fact, it was better that he didn't say this. As soon as he said it, Duan Zhanlong's ears twitched slightly as he was far away.
He couldn't help but cast his gaze down, scanning back and forth among the crowd following the source of the sound.
Suddenly, his eyes were fixed on Wu Yuan, and a murderous intention arose spontaneously!
Who caused him to be in such an embarrassing situation, to be deprived of his official position by the eldest prince, and to lose the Heavenly Flowing Thunder Feather Formation?
It’s this guy named Wu Yuan!
Originally, Duan Zhanlong kept a low profile and everything was fine. He even had the patience to wait until the real results of the training were released, so there weren't so many twists and turns.
It was all because of this villain named Wu Yuan who interfered and deliberately made the matter bigger, so that Duan Zhanlong was unable to step down and had to deal with the incident with such loud force.
If we say who is the most hateful, Wu Yuan is second, no one can be said to be first!
The crowd below was chattering and discussing, when they suddenly noticed that all the golden-armored guards in the sky had stopped, and they couldn't help but feel their hearts pounding, and they all shut up.
Wu Yuan felt even more chilled and felt inexplicably uneasy. He quickly lowered his head and walked out among the crowd.
Duan Zhanlong's eyes were filled with ice and he shouted in a deep voice: "Catch him!"
Three words, each word he said through gritted teeth.
When Wu Yuan heard the sound, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and the bad premonition became clearer. He couldn't help but use his body skills to escape quickly in the crowd.
He was surprised, scared, and puzzled.
Why did Duan Zhanlong find trouble with him?
After solving Xia Qingchen, Duan Zhanlong eliminated the great hatred in his heart, so why did he still bother him, a small person?
His escape, coupled with the unusual actions of the Jinjiawei, caused the onlookers around him to panic and flee in all directions.
Wu Yuan took the opportunity to fish in the troubled waters, dodging left and right in an attempt to escape.
However, if Jin Jiawei takes action, how can he let a little person escape?
I saw golden light flashing in the sky, and pieces of golden feathers fell from the sky, trapping a large group of people in a circular beam of light.
And Wu Yuan happened to be among them.
Wu Yuan's heart was beating wildly, and his eyes were flashing. He looked at the approaching Jinjiawei, holding on to his last extravagant hope, and said expectantly: "If you are not looking for me, you must not be looking for me."
However, after asking what Duan Zhanlong meant, the leader of the Jinjiawei came straight to Wu Yuan, twisted his neck, and lifted him up into the sky.
Plop——
As the leader of the Golden Armor Guards threw him heavily in front of the city lord, the last trace of luck in Wu Yuan's heart was shattered.
He raised his head tremblingly and met Duan Zhanlong's eyes filled with murderous intent.
"City...city lord!" Wu Yuan said cautiously.
Duan Zhanlong's cold face squeezed out a smile, but in Wu Yuan's opinion, it was even more chilling than a hideous smile.
