Beikaicheng, the city lord's mansion.
Different from the solemn and solemn atmosphere of the past, the entire mansion was decorated with lights and streamers everywhere.
The officers and soldiers of the Li family who came and went were all tied with red silk, and they were busy making red wedding invitations. It was a busy scene, and it seemed that there was a big happy event to be held recently.
Deep inside the mansion, in a carved attic, there was a different kind of tranquility that was different from the outside.
A majestic-looking, burly and majestic martial artist was sitting on a big chair, with sharp eyes and a faint cold glow.
Looking closely, it was Li Changsheng, the city lord of Beikai City. I saw him supporting his face with one hand and tapping the armrest with the other hand from time to time, as if he was thinking about something.
At this time, a powerful and burly man wearing military armor walked into the attic and knelt down on one knee to salute Li Changsheng.
"Vice-General Li Bo pays homage to the General!"
The man who called himself Li Bo raised his eyes and saw Li Changsheng raising his hand, then stood up and walked to Li Changsheng.
"Sir, the decoration of the house has been completed, please take a look."
Li Changsheng glanced at him lightly and spoke like thunder, echoing in the attic.
"The school has other things to do. I leave this matter to you. We must ensure that everything goes smoothly when we get married tomorrow."
The voice reached Li Bo's ears, and he suddenly broke out in cold sweat. He lowered his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, general. I will maintain order in the field tomorrow and ensure that the young master is in good order and will not let anyone disrupt the situation."
"Um."
Li Changsheng groaned and continued: "I have brought you to Li Qifeng's position. I hope you will be smart and not let this school down."
Li Bo's back was already wet with cold sweat, and he replied tremblingly: "Yes, I understand."
"One more thing, is there any news from Li He?"
"Back to the general, I received a report from an informant last night that Li He, Li Zheng, and the killer all died, leaving Jingfeng behind."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Bo immediately felt a chill and was too frightened to express his anger.
"Sir, this scenery... seems unusual."
"Huh, that's a little unexpected."
"Sir, do you think this scenery is scary because it suddenly stops coming?"
Li Bo asked with an unwilling expression.
"It's impossible. I deliberately let the news out so I'm not afraid that he won't come. This time I will deal with him personally. If there is any backer behind him, I can catch them all in one go."
Li Changsheng looked forward with cold eyes, a look of viciousness and determination on his face.
"If you dare to go against my Li family, there is only one outcome, and that is death!"
Li Bo knew very well how terrifying Li Changsheng's strength and methods were, so he just glanced at him secretly and quickly lowered his head.
At this moment, Li Changsheng was so angry that he didn't dare to say anything.
"By the way, when will Ming's distinguished guests arrive?"
When Li Bo heard this, he didn't know what he thought of, and there was a look of fear on his face.
"Go back to General, your distinguished guest will be here tomorrow morning."
Li Changsheng's eyes flickered, and many thoughts seemed to pass through him.
"Wait a minute, tell Li Nong about the order maintenance tomorrow and let him do it. You go and receive the distinguished guests."
"As you command!"
Li Bo said cautiously.
"The distinguished guest here this time is a celebrity around His Majesty. If there is any neglect, I will ask you for it!"
Li Bo nodded respectfully. He naturally knew about the other party's identity.
"Okay, you go down first."
Li Changsheng seemed to have calmed down and waved his hand casually.
Li Bo responded in a low voice, and after respectfully performing a military salute, he exited the attic.
Not long after Li Bo left, a figure suddenly appeared in the empty room, and Li Changsheng stared at him with a normal expression.
"Oh, I don't know if Elder Ai is here at this time. What advice can you give me?"
Li Changsheng changed his previous arrogant tone and rarely spoke politely.
"I'm just here for a casual walk, but City Lord Li doesn't welcome me?"
The person who spoke was dressed in black robes, and the aura around him was vaguely disordered. He was not timid in the face of Li Chang's powerful aura.
"Elder Ai is joking. If you are coming to visit, let me know in advance. Li will arrange a banquet for you. Why don't you welcome me?"
Li Changsheng said with a smile on his face, and his face was full of pride.
"Jie, Jie, Jie, please forgive me. Your city lord's mansion is too full of blood, and I still can't get used to it."
The man in black robe made a hoarse and gloomy voice. "I heard that Jingfeng was able to survive from the hands of three warriors in the early stage of the unbridled spirit realm?"
Li Changsheng took a deep breath and looked indifferent.
"That kid seems to have a lot of secrets. We can't let him grow up anymore."
The man in black robe thought secretly for a moment, and then praised: "A boy with such a arrogant temperament is treated so seriously. City Lord Li has the potential to be an assassin."
Li Changsheng didn't answer the other party's gossip, turned his eyes dark, and stood up.
"Tomorrow's wedding day is very important to me. Maybe I can win the Qianlong Chamber of Commerce in one fell swoop. If that old immortal from the Xie family gets in the way, I'll have to trouble Elder Ai."
Li Changsheng clenched his fists and said coldly.
"It's easy to say, I haven't paid much attention to an old man who has half his foot in the coffin."
The words of the man in black robe seemed careless, but there was a hint of murderous intent.
"Okay, after everything is done, the elders can choose the items in my treasure pavilion."
Li Changsheng said grandly.
"City Master Li is welcome."
Under the thick cloak of the man in black robe, a sinister and evil smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
…………
Jingfeng rushed south non-stop, traveling day and night, relying solely on dry food and Qi-reviving pills along the way, and finally arrived in Beikaicheng the day before the wedding day.
"Damn it, I forgot to ask for a mount when I came from Leping Town."
Jingfeng calmed down and cursed breathlessly.
I ran all this way by myself. Even though I was in the Forbidden Realm, I couldn't prepare myself for running like this. Having a mount could save me half of my leg strength.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, took off his training clothes, and put on the light fur and red clothes given by Long Shengna.
Two rows of soldiers wearing helmets and armor stood at the gate of the city, with resolute faces. Everyone entering and leaving the city was strictly inspected. It is very different from the soldiers you met in Leping Town before.
"Li Changsheng seems to have been prepared for this."
Jingfeng said to himself, and he had an idea and took out a few grass leaves made into rouge from his arms.
I have been with my mother since I was a child, so I am very familiar with rouge, powder, and makeup, and I know a lot about it.
Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running?
Jingfeng used his true energy to smash the blades of grass, squeezed out the juice from the water and poured it on his face.
Smear it, swipe it a few times, and it will look like another one.
Jingfeng looked at the puddle on the ground and saw that he looked whiter and more delicate than before. He was quite satisfied.
Then, Jingfeng took out gold and silver jewelry from his storage bag and put them on his body, looking like a spoiled kid from a rich family.
After finishing dressing up, Jingfeng walked towards the city gate in a swaggering manner.
"Master, please stay."
A dark-skinned soldier called to Jingfeng.
"What's wrong?"
Jingfeng pretended to be confused, raised his orchid finger and asked.
A group of strong-blooded soldiers suddenly felt a chill. The soldier who called Jingfeng bit the bullet and said: "The city lord has ordered that anyone entering or leaving the city must be searched."
"Brother Bing, I haven't had any contact with men yet. Isn't this inappropriate?"
Jingfeng said in a low voice, and then took out a few ingots of silver from his arms.
"This money is not a sign of respect. I wonder if the soldiers can be accommodating?"
The dark-skinned soldier had a greedy look in his eyes. Seeing that the other soldiers were silent, he put his hand on the silver and said, "It's not impossible, but it will be very troublesome if the superiors are blamed."
Jingfeng understood the meaning and was about to add money when a soldier next to him came over first and touched Jingfeng randomly.
"Hey, why are you touching someone's butt?"
Jingfeng screamed deliberately, causing everyone else to look at him.
"Okay, okay, let's go, let's touch my dirty hands."
The soldier who casually searched Jingfeng's body said in disgust.
"snort!"
Jingfeng pretended to be coy, rolled his eyes, and then walked forward slowly.
Entering the city, Jingfeng found a place with few people, wiped the makeup powder and grass juice off his face, and then without any further delay, headed to the Qianlong Chamber of Commerce in the direction he remembered.
The attic of the Qianlong Chamber of Commerce is still magnificent, but unlike in the past when it was bustling with traffic and bustling with people, now there are only sporadic people coming in and out, making it look quite depressed.
Jingfeng's eyesight was very good. From a distance, he saw a young master standing in front of the gate of the Qianlong Chamber of Commerce, bossing around the receptionists and attendants. Behind him was a man, both of whom looked familiar.
"It turned out to be these two bastards."
Jingfeng showed a look of disgust, but he still recognized the two people as Bi Hao and Ji Funing. It's just that Ji Funing, who was once on an equal footing with Bi Hao, now obeys his advice behind his back and has become Bi Hao's follower.
Jingfeng didn't want to waste time on these two people, so he walked around and climbed over the wall directly into the backyard.
In order to prevent being discovered by the Bi family's guards, Jingfeng lowered his body and carefully shuttled between the rockery trees in the courtyard.
At this time, a maid was walking out of an attic in the backyard carrying a plate.
With a thought in Jingfeng's mind, as fast as the wind, he ducked in front of the maid.
"ah……"
The maid's eyes were wide open, and just when she was about to speak out, Jing Feng quickly covered her mouth with his hands.
"Shh! Don't make a sound."
Jingfeng made a silent gesture, and when he saw the other party nodding in fear, Jingfeng let go of his hand.
"Mr. Jing, is it really you?"
The maid suddenly asked excitedly, her voice trembling.
"What, you recognize me?" Jingfeng was a little surprised.
"I am the maid next to the young lady. I gave you clothes before, sir, and this is what you are wearing."
Jingfeng thought for a while, and he did have some impressions, but he had no time to chat at the moment, so he asked instead: "Stop talking about this, where is your lady?"
The maid pointed to the balcony behind her and said, "The lady is in the innermost room and is under house arrest by the head of the Bi family."
Jingfeng's expression changed and he asked again: "Where is your President Long?"
"Master... I don't know. Our servants haven't seen President Long for a while. The affairs of the Chamber of Commerce are now handled by the senior officials of the Bi family."
The maid's delicate face was full of bitterness, and she begged Jing Feng with a tearful tone: "Mr. Jing, please save our lady."
Jingfeng gave her a reassuring smile and said softly: "Go and do your business, leave this place to me."
