Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Nine: There Are Others
After listening to Bai Ling's words, Xu Ning'er was even more puzzled. She was also curious about the enemy brothers escorting the copper and iron to Luo City. Who was the buyer? When Bai Ling said that the largest buyer of Hancheng copper and iron was Mu Hanlou
, Xu Ning'er fell into a contradiction in thinking.
If the city lord is telling the truth, then why did Mu Hanlou send two relatively important people, Leng Buyu and Yaowang, to Hansu City to discuss the copper and iron trade with the city lord?
Seeing Xu Ning'er's confused look, Bai Ling poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said with a smile on her face: "Ning'er, you are confused as to why I want to make two deals with Muhanlou?"
Xu Ning'er nodded and asked: "How can a Jianghu sect digest so much copper and iron? Furthermore, how do they use these copper and iron to forge utensils? To completely digest this batch of copper and iron, the craftsmen must be on the same site.
It’s not easy to hide it from people.”
Xu Ning'er's thinking was correct. Bai Ling nodded and explained to her: "You know the truth about fish and fish caught in the eye. If Guhe Muhanlou did such a big deal from the beginning, let alone Jingzhou,
Will other forces be able to live in peace?"
"So, the city lord's intention is to blend reality with reality. Is this a pretense?"
Bai Ling nodded and continued: "Muhan Tower still has a secret that you don't know, and this secret, Gu, is not clear."
Xu Ning'er's brows tightened, and her beautiful eyes were full of worry. She said: "Then City Lord, how can you guarantee that Muhan Tower has such a batch of supplies and will not have other thoughts?"
Bai Ling nodded, and then said: "I don't know how the other Jianghu sects have been destroyed. But Mu Hanlou alone may have the intention of rebelliousness, but they cannot do so.
"
When these words came out, Xu Ning'er became even more puzzled.
Bai Ling picked up the pot and poured a cup of tea for Xu Ning'er. Feng Qingyun said calmly: "Because, there is an ancestor from Daye who has been staring at Muhan Tower. Since the ancestor has never thought about subverting the Long family, then
Muhanlou, where do you have the courage to disobey this ancestor?"
"Ancestor?"
Bai Ling nodded, and then said: "You don't have to worry about the Muhan Tower. After all, Daye does need an army that no one knows about. When Daye is really in chaos, at least it will still be there."
If there is a force that can calm the chaos, then history will not repeat itself."
Xu Ning'er seemed to understand, but she still nodded. Of course, what she believed in was not Muhanlou, but their city lord.
Bai Ling drank all the tea in the cup, changed the subject, and said, "Ning'er, how were the bodies of those dead brothers disposed of?"
Mentioning this, Xu Ning'er's face couldn't help but turn sad, and said: "What else can we do? Of course they were piled together and burned to ashes with fire. More trees were planted in the forest behind the mountain. These brothers
After they die, they can only be used as nutrients for these new seedlings."
After hearing this, Bai Ling couldn't help but look depressed. He raised the teacup again, but he forgot that he had already drank all the tea in the teacup. He held Mercy tightly in his hand and did not let go, nor did he know how to add more strength.
Will I break this porcelain cup directly?
"Bury all their military badges under the tree. One day, their names will be recorded in writing."
"At that time, I wanted to build a monument for these brothers, a two-story monument, and carve their names on it one by one."
Bai Ling nodded in agreement.
"That's good." After speaking, Bai Ling stood up. He walked back to the desk again, took out the previously unapproved documents, handed them to Xu Ning'er, and then said, "Ning'er, you
Let’s see, is the suggestion of urging Han Feng feasible?”
Xu Ning'er was a little puzzled when she heard about the idlers in the imperial palace. She took the document and read it carefully.
After a while, after reading the above content, a pair of jade hands still held the document tightly, but in the eyes, there was even more sadness.
"Is there any problem?"
Xu Ning'er shook her head, but then she shook her head again. This way, Bai Ling was confused.
Xu Ning'er sighed and said: "City Lord, this plan is certainly good, but City Lord, you have forgotten that Han Feng is a native of Jingzhou after all."
Bai Ling nodded. What Xu Ning'er was thinking about was also where he was worried. Although Hanfeng could report it to Jingzhou and let Jingzhou pay attention to the border war in Northern Qi, from now on, the sovereignty of the border military would still remain with Hanfeng.
In the hands of the city? What's more, will the forces sent by Hancheng be suppressed by the Jingzhou forces, or even be absorbed by the Jingzhou forces?
"And here, what reminds Hanfeng to think is that Hancheng has also established an organization similar to the idlers in the inner palace. But City Lord, have you ever thought about who these people listen to and whose orders they follow?"
Bai Ling chuckled, then sighed helplessly and said: "But, Ning'er, if I take you out of Hancheng in a year, who will be in charge of this huge Hancheng? The days of this city full of people
, will there be any changes?”
Xu Ning'er yearned for that day from the bottom of her heart, but she was also afraid of that day.
She looked forward to one day following the city lord and his wife to retreat to the countryside, green mountains and green waters. But she was worried, if Bai Ling left Hancheng, would the new person in power turn Hancheng into the original form of Hancheng?
That era when everyone ate human blood steamed buns? It was also the era when she, Xu Ning'er, was young.
"The city lord, after all, is just the city lord. In my court in Daye, I am just a first-class official, neither a king nor a marquis. I take care of the cold city for Daye. This time is hot, so I am the leader of the cold city.
Lord, Ke Hancheng does not belong to Gu."
The truth is such a truth, but the more Xu Ning'er thinks about it, the less she dares to think about it.
Bai Ling waved her hand, poured herself another cup of tea, and said, "Ning'er, what happens next is what happens in the future. Tell me again. What did you ask from the mouth of that Dongli brat?"
Xu Ning'er really didn't want to think about it anymore. She nodded, and then said: "In this Dongli person's mouth, the East China Sea was mentioned several times. But the city lord, the East China Sea can have the power of troubled times, think about it.
Go, besides Duan Qian’s family, are there any other forces?”
After hearing this, Bai Ling couldn't help but put down the porcelain cup and rubbed her chin with her hand. After thinking about it, Duan Qian's family was indeed the only one in the East China Sea.
"Did you mention the name Duan Qianqiongqi?"
Xu Ning'er was a little confused, Duan Qian, Qiongqi? A member of the Duan Qian tribe who was named after the murderer?
Mentioning Duan Qian Qiongqi, Bai Ling couldn't help but show embarrassment and shame on his face. He raised the porcelain cup again, drank the tea in one gulp, and then said: "When I was young, I was also frivolous. But after all, the situation
, you have to pay a price. Do you know what the price of being alone is?"
Xu Ning'er couldn't understand the meaning of Bai Ling's words, but thinking about it literally, it should be related to this Qian Qiongqi.
Bai Ling didn't show off, he bent down, took off his right boot, and then took off his sock, exposing his right foot.
His right foot was wrapped with a strip of white cloth, which was untied one by one, revealing its original appearance.
When Xu Ning'er saw Bai Ling's right foot, she couldn't help but open her eyes wide. It was shocking and made her a little scared.
Bai Ling's right foot has countless tiny holes. It looks like it has been bitten by ants.
densely packed
Potholes, even if they were like Xu Ning'er, they couldn't help but feel nauseated and couldn't hold it back, so they vomited them out.
Xu Ning'er also knew that it was inappropriate for her to act like this, but she had no choice but to feel her stomach churn after all.
Bai Ling was not surprised when he saw Xu Ning'er's reaction, nor did he mean to blame him. With a smile on his face, he wrapped the white cloth strips bit by bit.
After putting on her boots and sitting up straight, Bai Ling poured herself a cup of tea again. She drank the tea in one gulp and watched Xu Ning'er's uncontrollable vomiting in silence.
When Xu Ning'er stopped vomiting, Bai Ling also handed her tea.
Xu Ning'er took the tea but didn't drink it. Just like when she entered the room, she rinsed her mouth with the tea and then spit it into the wastewater bucket.
Xu Ning'er looked embarrassed and a little guilty, and even did not dare to raise her head to look at Bai Ling.
Bai Ling, on the other hand, still had a smile on her face, poured another cup of tea for Xu Ning'er, and then said: "You only need to know about Gu's right foot, but don't let Chunsheng and Xiaoman know about it."
Xu Ning'er nodded. Even she didn't dare to look at it twice. If Chun Sheng and Xiao Man knew about it, it would be fine.
"City Lord, your feet?"
Bai Ling chuckled, and then said: "Gu dare not say that Gu's ability is unparalleled, but if you want to escape from the sword, not only Gu, but any child of the Hua family who is allowed to go out to practice can do it. But it's just...
, I am young and full of energy, I don’t know what to do, and together with a few libertines, I got into trouble with people I shouldn’t have gotten into trouble with.”
Xu Ning'er's frown slightly relaxed, and she asked: "So, City Lord, the person you provoked at that time was a member of Duan Qian's family?"
Bai Ling nodded and said: "More than just a member of Duan Qian's family, this person, called Duan Qian Qingxuan, was once a strong competitor for Duan Qian Qiongqi's name."
"Is this person dead?"
Bai Ling shook his head, his face full of unwillingness to be inferior to others. Then he nodded again and continued: "He is not dead. Even if he is alone with several other proud men, he cannot be killed.
"
"How many other people are like the city lord?"
Bai Ling nodded and said: "In comparison, Gu Suan is the luckiest among the others. Gu Suan was seriously injured and on the verge of death, but fortunately he was sent to Taohua Temple. Although he lost one foot, his life is not worried. Another
Several people died, some were disabled, and they all paid the due price for their youth and frivolity."
"Then, where is that Duan Qingqing?"
When Duan Qianqinghuan was mentioned, Bai Ling could not help but look helpless in the end.
He sighed and said: "He is not dead. He fought alone against us and a group of warriors from Hongmeng. In the end, he killed or injured everyone and left gracefully. Alas, this world is vast after all. There is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world.
It was only then that I realized the truth.”
"I don't know what kind of person can be an enemy of such a person."
Bai Ling sighed again, but he thought about it carefully, and then said: "Zhong Xihou, the barbarian from the West, may be considered one person. The other person is just an exaggerated rumor. The sword-destroying master Linghu Changkong, if
This person is really as good as the rumors say, and he may be able to do it."
Mentioning the Sword Destroyer Master Linghu Changkong, Xu Ning'er couldn't help but think of another person. I heard that this Aselai swordsman genius had appeared at the King of Jinling's night banquet, and together with Linghu Changkong was the young master of the Mo family.
Mo Ming.
Thinking of it, Xu Ning'er asked directly: "Then, can the young master of the Mo family do it?"
