Two days have passed since the striped spiny tiger attacked the Li family mining area.
During this period, many people came to Rongcheng to rebuild barracks and mines for the Li family.
That night,
Fan Yi arranged for several guards to go to the Lin family mining area to check.
A detail mentioned by the leading guard when he came back to report the situation made Fan Yi even more certain that the Lin family and Shangguan family deliberately delayed support and were suspected of collaborating with the enemy.
When the guards led people to the Lin family's mining area, they saw that the Lin family's barracks were intact, and the surrounding environment did not look like there had been a fierce battle.
There were more than a dozen carcasses of striped spiny tigers scattered on the ground. The striped thorn tigers that the guards mentioned are all young animals that have not grown up for long.
Although some warriors in the Lin family were injured, the injuries looked more like they were intentional.
In fact, the head of the Lin family had long thought that Fan Yi would not believe Lin Xiu's words and would definitely send someone to check.
The Lin family made a lot of preparations when the guards arrived at the mining area. He met the guards and showed an injured arm.
It was said that he was injured after a big battle with a century-old hybrid beast.
He hoped that the guards could say a few good words for the Lin family, and his words were even more coercive and tempting. In the end, he gave each of the guards sixteen spiritual stones.
The real purpose is obvious.
It's a pity that the leading guard is a confidant trained by Fan Yi. Only Fan Yi and the guard know this relationship, and even the governor doesn't know about it.
The Lin family never expected that the guard had told Fan Yi the actual situation.
As for the gift of spiritual stones, it really shot myself in the foot.
Fan Yi chose to hold back and not publicly ridicule the Lin family because he felt that the time was not yet ripe.
In Fan Yi's mind, the Lin family and the Shangguan family have been included in the list of expulsions.
As long as the time comes, I won't be soft-hearted.
This is a matter of principle for the Rongcheng City Lord's Mansion and does not involve personal grudges.
On this day, it was still dark.
Fan Yi was practicing boxing while walking in the yard. When the punch came out, the violent wind of fist power was no longer on his fist.
However, every time he punched out, there were ripples in the space.
In the words of Jin Xiao Shengdou, the final form of the fist field does not need to be majestic, but to return to nature.
A pure martial arts punch depends on one's state of mind.
The true emperor of martial arts in the world can make the world change color with one punch. What he wants is a kind of momentum, an invincible momentum.
Fan Yi put away the walking pile and began to sit cross-legged under a green pine, running the Immortal King Induction Chapter to practice breathing.
He didn't stop practicing until the sun rose above the mountain.
He exhaled a deep breath and suddenly felt extremely relaxed all over his body.
Fan Yi walked back to his room, put on clean clothes, and walked towards the octagonal cornice hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
When he came to the entrance of the hall, many people had gathered inside.
When they saw the city lord entering the palace, they all stopped talking and clasped their fists in front of Fan Yi in salute.
After Fan Yi killed the Beast King alone that night, the heads of several major families began to fear him from the bottom of their hearts.
They no longer regard Fan Yi as a young man, but as a real city lord. It is such a simple truth that strength is respected.
Fan Yi accepted it calmly, so he strode towards the city leader's seat.
After he turned around and sat down, he said:
"You're welcome, please take a seat."
"We are here today for two things only. Let's talk about the first thing first."
"The Li family's mining area has been invaded by a herd of beasts. It will take at least three or four months to resume mining of spirit stones. The City Lord's Palace has decided to exempt the Li family from paying the spirit stones for four months."
"In addition, dozens of monks and warriors from the Li family died in the battle. The relatives of these dozens of people were all allocated money by the city lord's palace to appease them. Do you all agree with this?"
After the words fell, everyone clasped their fists and shouted:
"The City Lord has mercy!"
Fan Yi waved his hand and continued:
"There's something else I want to tell you."
"From today on, I will go into the depths of the mountains to hunt down century-old hybrid beasts, in order to consolidate the foundation of martial arts."
"Well, the time is about a month, but this time I need the governor to accompany me."
"After I leave, you can discuss all matters in Rongcheng with the counselors in the mansion. I hope everyone can unite as one to protect the peace of Rongcheng."
After Fan Yi finished speaking, the hall began to become noisy.
At this time, the head of the Li family said:
"The city lord wants to go deep into the mountains. It's too dangerous there. I ask the city lord and the governor to think twice."
At this time, Fan Zheshan said louder:
"Yes, the depths of the mountains are a forbidden area for humans. There are countless beasts there, and there are even monsters causing trouble. Otherwise, it's better not to go."
When Fan Zheshan said this, he apparently forgot about Fan Yi's identity as the city lord in his desperation, and only regarded him as his nephew.
Fan Zhefu on the side only frowned but did not speak. He vaguely guessed something, so he chose to believe his son's decision.
Fan Yi waved his hand again and said:
"Rongcheng is far inferior to other cities in Qingyun Prefecture regardless of its city defense strength and monk strength."
"I am the Lord of Rongcheng. I should focus on my cultivation. Only by improving my cultivation can I ensure peace in Rongcheng. Please stop trying to persuade me."
Seeing that Fan Zheshan still wanted to speak, Fan Zhefu pulled his sleeve and shut him up.
It’s just that the head of the Lin family and the head of the Shangguan family are a little solemn in their brows, and their minds are active. I don’t know what they are thinking about?
The matter was settled, the family heads left the Octagonal Cornice Palace and walked towards the door of the City Lord's Mansion.
The head of the Li family grabbed Fan Zhefu and asked in a low voice:
"Brother Fan, what happened to the city lord? There are many dangers deep in the Yunze Lingmine Mountains, aren't you worried?"
Fan Zhefu spread his hands helplessly and did not answer the Li family leader. Walking on the streets of Rongcheng, no one said anything.
at this time.
Fan Yi sat across from Fu Lao.
The old man's expression was quite complicated and he asked:
"The city wants to go deep into the mountains for training, why didn't you discuss it with me beforehand? You are too reckless to do so."
Fan Yi replied solemnly:
"Don't blame me, Mr. Fu. In fact, I know better than anyone else that only by fighting powerful beasts can you improve your martial arts skills. Experience is inevitable."
The old man glared at Fan Yi and asked slowly:
"I'm afraid your plan isn't that simple, is it? There's no need to hide it from me."
Hearing this, Fan Yi smiled and said:
"I can't hide anything from you. I do have other ideas when I go out for training this time. Do you know that the Lin family and the Shangguan family have had two different intentions for a long time."
"If you want to catch them this time, you must leave Rongcheng."
The old man frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and said:
"It seems that your suggestion of letting me follow you was just a pretense?"
Fan Yi replied:
"After the elder follows me into the depths of the mountains, he will quietly return to the city lord's mansion and stay in seclusion."
"If something really happens, please ask the governor to take charge and send me a message. I will return to Rongcheng as soon as possible."
The old man’s brows furrowed even more.
said:
"Rongcheng won't be in chaos as long as I'm here. I'm just afraid that you will be targeted. How will you protect yourself then?"
Fan Yi smiled and replied:
"Don't worry, Mr. Fu. Of course I have someone to rely on, otherwise I wouldn't be able to kill the beast king."
The two talked for a long time, and the governor finally agreed to Fan Yi's plan.
That night when he was fighting the century-old beast, the elder had already heard about the white light that appeared in Fan Yi's body.
