"The Yinling Chamber of Commerce also has debts that they will not repay, but they will definitely not have access to the core secrets, so they must go to the City Lord's Mansion to collect the debts!"
"Since the Great Elder is involved in the operation, then... if you want to know the city lord's conspiracy, it's best to start with the Great Elder."
"Tomorrow is the time when the city lord promised to pay off the debt. We will go to collect the debt in the early morning! Make a big fuss in the city lord's mansion!"
…
Zhou Fan and the other two people quickly discussed and came up with the result: Chen Guoer went to the city lord's mansion in person to collect the debt, while Zhou Tianxiong sneaked in secretly, captured the elder, and interrogated him!
The inside should be coordinated with the outside!
"Xiaofan, you are too weak. You should stay at home and retreat. Don't go anywhere!"
Chen Guoer gave instructions, turned around and left with Zhou Tianxiong.
"Madam, when you ask for debt tomorrow, if the noise becomes louder, you must ask the city lord to come forward!"
Zhou Tianxiong reminded: "Delay a little longer!"
"good."
Chen Guoer nodded, took out a white mask, and said, "Just in case, you wear a mask when you move."
Watching the two people leaving, Zhou Fan smiled helplessly.
The city lord's mansion is heavily guarded, and he is weak. Even if he has a third-grade talisman with him, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems, so his parents do not agree with his participation.
But……
"It is precisely because no one thought that I would dare to go, so if I go, it will have unexpected effects."
Zhou Fan's eyes flashed.
With your parents attracting attention and a large number of third-grade talismans around you, what are you afraid of?
"Before entering the city lord's palace, strive to break through to the fourth level of martial arts."
He entered the Immortal Mansion and made the final sprint.
…
outside world.
One night passed.
"Whoosh!"
Zhou Fan watched Zhou Tianxiong and Chen Guoer leave one after another, and quietly left the house.
City Lord's Mansion.
Covering an area of thousands of acres.
On the surface, the defense looks lax, but in fact there are many hidden guards.
"There are at least dozens of secret guards in the outer courtyard."
Zhou Fan sneaked a hundred meters and already discovered six secret guards.
The hiding positions of these secret guards are extremely tricky. They are like sculptures. They are motionless and can see each other. If it were not for the help of the third-grade divine hidden talisman, he would be unable to move even an inch!
"Um?"
After carefully searching for half an hour, he changed several third-grade divine hidden talismans, but there was still no news.
"Could it be that in the inner courtyard? The city lord actually allows outsiders like the Great Elder to live in the inner courtyard?"
Zhou Fan looked for opportunities to sneak in.
Because there are more secret guards in the inner courtyard and they are stronger.
at some point.
"what happened?"
He saw some secret guards in the inner courtyard moving towards the outer courtyard.
"Have you heard? Chen Guoer is here to collect the balance! He wants to see the Lord of the City by name!"
"What a reckless woman! She's holding on to a mere one hundred thousand taels of gold. She's so stingy. How did the Zhou family expand their business?"
"If I were Zhou Tianxiong's wife, I would definitely do even better than Chen Guoer."
…
After hearing the chat between the two maids, Zhou Fan was suddenly stunned, and then his mouth twitched.
Chen Guoer once led the Chen family to become the richest businessman in Lingyou County, ranking among the top three in the entire Dayue Dynasty, on par with the Yinling Chamber of Commerce.
I have to say, these two maids are very confident!
"I didn't expect a master to be in the world."
He sarcastically said in his mind.
If it wasn't something wrong, he would definitely let these two maids know why the flowers were so red.
"Whoosh!"
Zhou Fan prepared to take the opportunity to sneak into the inner courtyard.
As a result, the voices of these two maids came to my ears again: "None of the men in the Zhou family are good."
"How to say?"
"Everyone knows who that dandy Zhou Fan is, so there is no need to say more. The eldest elder and second elder of the Zhou family are all old perverts. They played with brothel girls in our city lord's palace, causing a mess."
"Those Zhou family members are just a bunch of pigs raised by the city lord, and they don't know it yet."
…
"..."
Zhou Fan's breath was almost disturbed.
I will endure!
After patiently listening to the chat between the two, he finally learned the location where the First Elder, Second Elder and others lived.
Then……
"Bang!"
Zhou Fan flicked his hand and two pebbles flew out, successfully leaving two big bags on the heads of the two maids.
"ah!"
Listening to their cries, Zhou Fan felt very happy and left quietly.
After a while.
"found it!"
Zhou Fan looked at the familiar Zhou family and could not help but narrow his eyes.
"We are provided with delicious food and drink, and we don't have to do anything except women! It's so cool!"
“It’s so nice to not have to worry about safety issues.”
…
Listening to the flattery of the maids and slaves of the city lord's palace, this group of Zhou family members did not feel like they were dependent on anyone, but rather felt a little relaxed.
"A bunch of idiots."
Zhou Fan thought of the complaints made by the two maids and felt pitiful for these people: "Pig farmers usually wait until the pigs are fattened before killing them."
He was too lazy to waste his emotions and sneaked into it quietly.
inside the room.
"Brother, what were you doing out of the city?"
"You are not supposed to know, so don't ask any questions. If this happens, you and I will be the heads of the Zhou family and the true confidants of the city lord! Both the Zhao family and the Bi family will bow to us."
Zhou Fan looked carefully and saw that the two parties talking were the First Elder and the Second Elder.
"The great elder really knows the inside story!"
A third-grade magical talisman and a third-grade divine power talisman appeared in his palm.
The elder's mouth is very strict and he can only pry it open by force.
"Um?"
Just when he was about to take action, he suddenly frowned and accidentally discovered a small detail: the mole on the elder's eyebrow was missing?
The reason why Zhou Fan remembers it so clearly is because the great elder once said: People with moles on their eyebrows will have good fortune in later life. From middle age to old age, everything will go well and they will live a prosperous life.
Out of caution, he did not rush to take action, but continued to observe for a while.
"The clothes don't fit a bit."
"My teeth have become straighter!"
"He looks a little nervous and is secretly guarding his surroundings."
"this……"
Zhou Fan's expression changed slightly: "This is a 'fake'!"
Did the city lord know that they were coming to arrest the great elder?
Otherwise, how could you get a ‘fake’?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he quickly held his breath and prepared to evacuate.
"!!!"
At this moment, Zhou Fan noticed that a leaf was moving under the window sill not far away.
There is no wind and no one is passing by, so why does it move?
He instantly guessed a possibility: "Someone activated the third-grade divine hidden talisman and passed by the leaves."
"It's Lao Zhou!"
Zhou Fan's expression changed again and he quickly tried to stop him.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, a sound broke through the air.
"broken!"
Zhou Fan opened his mouth, but did not dare to make any sound.
With his strength, if he were ambushed, he would probably become Lao Zhou's scapegoat!
"Bang!"
A figure wearing a white mask appeared, grabbed the 'Great Elder' and turned around to leave.
The whole process was extremely smooth and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.
As fast as you want!
"Catch the assassin!"
A cry of surprise sounded.
Immediately, a large number of secret guards were dispatched, including a strong man from the Spiritual Sea Realm!
"Well……"
Zhou Fan was helpless: "Old Zhou, when will you change your impatience?"
"boom!"
"boom!"
…
Soon, the sound of fierce fighting was heard in the distance.
This movement instantly changed Chen Guoer's face, which was stalling for time.
"The Lord of the City has already laid a dragnet!"
The eldest elder of the Zhou family who was hiding aside strode out and sneered: "Chen Guo'er, do you think this assassin can leave alive?"
"you……"
Chen Guoer didn't know what happened and felt anxious.
"Because it was daytime when I entered the city, someone saw me. Just in case, the Lord of the City used the disguise technique and made a fake 'I' as a bait."
The eldest elder of the Zhou family looked at Chen Guoer's anxious look, showing a cheerful expression, and continued: "To be honest, I don't think it is necessary. I didn't expect that I actually caught a big fish."
"The city lord is wise and has no plans left!"
"In the past few days, I have been following your son Zhou Fan's reminder and placed the heads of Zhou Xue and Guo Family Master on the table. I always remind myself that I must plan carefully before my next action."
The city lord put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "So, your son has half of the credit for the success of this fishing."
After saying that, he was ready to set off and personally participate in the encirclement and suppression.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, the sound of fighting disappeared.
"Um?"
The city lord frowned.
Soon, an old man in gray robes flashed over, his appearance was miserable, and his spirit sea realm aura was clearly revealed.
"Lord City Lord, 'Bait' is dead and the assassin has escaped!"
He reported the report with an ugly face.
"What?"
The city lord's face darkened.
"Lord City Lord, it seems that you still haven't listened to my son and your plan is not thorough enough."
Hearing this, Chen Guoer breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said sarcastically.
The city lord's palm suddenly clenched, murderous intent leaking out.
"Great Elder."
"I didn't expect you to be someone else's dog, and you'd be quite happy."
Chen Guoer continued: "Thankfully, I'm worried that you'll have a hard time living under someone else's roof."
"you……"
The eldest elder of the Zhou family was extremely angry.
Chen Guoer was too lazy to continue talking to him, looked at the Lord of the City, and stretched out her hand.
"Come here and pay the balance."
The city lord waved his hand.
A large number of soldiers moved the gold to Chen Guoer.
"Walk!"
Without saying a word, Chen Guoer led others to carry the gold and left.
"Lord City Lord, why did you pay the final payment?"
Seeing her leaving, the elder of the Zhou family felt extremely aggrieved.
"Let her spit out this money tonight!"
The city lord looked gloomy.
"This operation is a waste of effort."
The eldest elder of the Zhou family gritted his teeth.
"No."
The old man in gray robe said: "There is still something to gain."
"What's the catch?"
The eldest elder of the Zhou family asked.
The old man in gray robe: "Zhou Tianxiong's strength has returned to the middle stage of the spiritual sea realm!"
The eldest elder of the Zhou family was immediately jealous.
"That being said, it is even more important to eradicate the Zhou family as soon as possible!"
A murderous intent flashed in the city lord's eyes: "Tonight, I will kill Zhou Tianxiong and his son with my own hands!"
The eldest elder of the Zhou family smiled ferociously: "I only want Chen Guoer! I have long wanted to taste this younger brother and sister."
…
"waste!"
"A bunch of trash!"
"This made Zhou Tianxiong run away?"
When the second elder of the Zhou family learned the news, he was extremely angry.
"The city lord is only in the middle stage of the Linghai Realm. Why do you stop Lao Zhou?"
Hearing this, Zhou Fan, who had not left secretly, curled his lips.
Lao Zhou easily handled this small scene.
"If Zhou Tianxiong is killed, Chen Guo'er won't be able to escape! By then, the First Elder and I can easily control the Zhou family!"
The second elder of the Zhou family got angrier as he thought about it: "There is no need to attack the Zhou family at night tonight!"
