Chapter 471
Seeing Jiang Boya's retreating figure, the thirteen Starlight Realm masters looked at each other in shock.
After a moment, they rushed out in the opposite direction to Songcheng.
Thousands of miles away.
Two figures walked quickly through the dense forest.
Xiao Zhan looked solemn. When he saw that Deng Xiaozhuang beside him was panting and his breath was weak, he reached out and grabbed Deng Xiaozhuang's shoulders and led him to escape at a faster speed.
In the woods less than two miles behind the two of them.
Two white wolves, more than five meters long, more than two meters tall, covered with spike-like hair, were chasing after them quickly.
Behind the two white wolves, a man wearing black armor and a dozen of his men were chasing them.
These are the people from the City Lord's Mansion.
When the star stone fell in the wilderness, they rushed to the scene immediately, only to find that the star stone had been picked up.
The two white wolves they brought with them immediately smelled the scent of Xiao Zhan and Deng Xiaozhuang, and pursued them all the way.
During the pursuit, this team also encountered a squadron leader who was on the ninth level of the Starlight Realm.
When Xiao Zhan discovered that one of the pursuers was at the ninth level of the Starlight Realm, he immediately turned around and ran away with Deng Xiaozhuang.
Xiao Zhan knew very well that he was now at the seventh level of the Starlight Realm and could not defeat a ninth-level Starlight Realm player.
Deng Xiaozhuang gritted his teeth and insisted, his legs completely numb, and he lowered his voice and said:
"Brother, put me down and escape by yourself!"
Xiao Zhan didn't speak, but speeded up again.
Finally, a river appeared ahead.
Xiao Zhan and Deng Xiaozhuang jumped directly into the river and walked quickly through the bottom of the river.
The two white wolves chased them to the river bank and immediately started howling furiously and restlessly.
The man in the ninth level of Starlight Realm, who was wearing black armor, glanced across the river and then narrowed his eyes.
After a dozen other people arrived, he said coldly:
"Split into two groups, search upstream along the river, and follow me downstream to search."
More than a dozen people quickly followed suit.
Downstream, more than ten miles away.
Xiao Zhan took Deng Xiaozhuang and jumped out of the river. Without any pause, he went directly into the reed swamp by the river.
The reed grew very luxuriantly and was more than three meters tall. The two of them walked through it without attracting anyone's attention.
Suddenly, the sound of "rustling" made Xiao Zhan stop suddenly.
He knelt down and looked forward through the gap in the reeds.
Less than twenty meters away, two figures were rolling in the reeds, engaged in a fierce fight.
Deng Xiaozhuang also saw this scene and was immediately at a loss.
Xiao Zhan said nothing and motioned for Deng Xiaozhuang to follow him around.
But the sound of the two people moving still attracted the attention of the two figures.
They immediately stopped fighting, picked up their weapons, and roared:
"who!"
Xiao Zhan didn't say anything and speeded up to pass by.
But these two figures blocked Xiao Zhan and Deng Xiaozhuang directly.
Xiao Zhan glanced at the two of them coldly and said:
"We were passing by and didn't want to get into trouble."
The sweaty man snorted coldly:
"You dare to spy on me, I think you are tired of living."
The woman standing next to her lowered her voice and said:
"Brother Hua, kill them both. Don't let others know about our private meeting."
The man nodded, raised the long knife in his hand, and rushed towards Xiao Zhan with a grin.
But in the next moment, a fist seal struck, and a ball of blood burst out from the man's heart.
The woman standing behind the man had blood spattered on her face.
She stood there dumbfounded, looking through the blood holes on the man's body and saw Xiao Zhan's cold eyes.
eye.
The next moment, she saw Xiao Zhan tearing off Deng Xiaozhuang's clothes, then tearing off his own clothes, and throwing them all on the ground.
"Don't kill me! I am willing, I can, I..."
Before the woman finished speaking, she saw Xiao Zhan and Deng Xiaozhuang disappearing deep into the reed swamp.
The woman collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily.
Just as she was about to get up and run away, she heard two wolf howls.
The next moment, two white wolves broke through the reeds, appeared in front of her, and then opened their bloody mouths at her.
When the person from the ninth level of the Starlight Realm arrived, only mottled blood stains and two bloody corpses were left in the reed swamp.
The edge of the reed marsh.
Xiao Zhan took Deng Xiaozhuang back into the mountain forest and ran all the way until Xiao Zhan himself had no strength left and then stopped. ..
The two found a cave and hid in it.
Deng Xiaozhuang leaned against the cave wall, panting heavily, his face covered with cold sweat.
"Brother, we almost got caught."
Xiao Zhan took out the star stone from his arms and said solemnly:
"It's worth it."
Deng Xiaozhuang also nodded, "It's indeed worth it."
After a while, both men regained some strength.
Deng Xiaozhuang asked:
"Brother, what are your plans next?"
Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice:
"First think of ways to improve your strength. If you don't have the strength, you won't be able to do anything."
Deng Xiaozhuang nodded:
"Brother, with your strength, you can join the City Lord's Mansion, at least become a squadron leader, and receive a certain amount of star sand every month."
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "I won't go to the City Lord's Mansion."
Deng Xiaozhuang frowned: "Then how can I improve my strength?"
Xiao Zhan exhaled a breath:
"Is there a city nearby that doesn't have a strong man in charge?"
Deng Xiaozhuang thought for a while and said:
"Liangcheng."
"After the city lord of Liangcheng died unexpectedly, there has been no new city lord to take over. As a result, Liangcheng is still managed by a group of captains and their people."
Xiao Zhan frowned:
"This is not normal. According to the organizational structure of your Tianlan world, the Domain Lord's Mansion should send people to take over Liangcheng as soon as possible."
"I don't believe that in such a big world, we can't even choose a candidate for city lord."
Deng Xiaozhuang shook his head, "I don't know about that."
Xiao Zhan pondered for a moment, "Then go to Liangcheng."
Deng Xiaozhuang took out a tattered map from his arms, looked at it and said:
"Liangcheng is only five days away from our current location."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Let's go now."
At the same time, Songcheng, the city lord’s mansion.
Hong Biao, Lan Yu, and other captains all gathered at the City Lord's Mansion.
Li Mugong listened to their reports, nodding and frowning from time to time.
After everyone finished reporting, Li Mugong nodded and said:
"You have all worked hard this time to hunt down people from the outside world."
Speaking, Li Mugong looked at Hong Biao:
"Hong Biao, I have applied to the Territory Lord in advance, and the Territory Lord has agreed to let you go to Liangcheng to serve as the city lord."
"But with your current strength, I'm afraid you won't be able to convince everyone after you go to Liangcheng. After all, two of Liangcheng's captains are at the eighth level of the Starlight Realm, and they are not much weaker than you."
"Hong Biao, you have to be mentally prepared."
Hong Biao clasped his fists and said respectfully:
"Thank you, Lord City Lord, for your cultivation."
Li Mugong said "Yes", "You should retreat first. I will reward you based on your merits in two days. Hong Biao, prepare yourself. You will go to Liangcheng to take up the post tomorrow at the latest."
"return
Yes, Lan Yu, please stay for a while. "
All the captains looked at Hong Biao with envy, said congratulations, and walked out of the meeting hall.
Li Mugong took Lan Yu towards the backyard and entered his study.
He sat down and looked at Lan Yu with a smile:
"I know you are not convinced. Although you hide your strength, I can see that you are only one step away from the ninth level of the Starlight Realm."
"Actually, I am also willing to recommend you to become the city lord of Liangcheng, but do you know why I still recommended Hong Biao?"
Lan Yu took a deep breath, clasped his fists and said respectfully:
"The Lord of the City naturally has his reasons for doing things. I dare not have any doubts."
Li Mugong shook his head:
"I just don't want Hong Biao to stay with me. He is too scheming to be my confidant."
"On the contrary, Lan Yu, you are different."
"Hong Biao has gone to Liangcheng. You are my strongest captain. Enter the ninth level of the Starlight Realm as soon as possible. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. You will get more than Hong Biao."
Lan Yu's eyes flashed with joy, "Thank you, Lord City Lord."
Li Mugong shook his head:
"Actually, it is not a good thing to go to Liangcheng to take office now."
"The reason why the Lord of the Territory has not decided on the candidate for the Lord of Liangcheng is very complicated."
"First, the cause of death of the previous city lord has not yet been found out."
"Letting Hong Biao become the city lord now is actually just to open a breakthrough and see if we can find out the truth of the matter."
"Maybe Hong Biao will fall into a whirlpool, and life or death is unknown."
"When the matter in Liangcheng is cleared up, I will apply for you to be the city lord of Liangcheng. At that time, you can firmly take the position of the city lord of Liangcheng."
Lan Yu knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said respectfully:
"Thank you, Lord City Lord!"
Li Mugong nodded:
"Lan Yu, you have to remember that it won't take too long for Moyun World to launch an attack on our Tianlan World."
"The world is about to change..."
Lan Yu quickly said in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, Lord City Lord, no matter where I am in the future or what position I hold, I will always obey your orders, Lord City Lord!"
"Okay!" Li Mugong smiled and nodded: "I really saw you right."
"Don't worry, no matter how successful I, Li Mugong, am in the future, you, Lan Yu, will only be inferior to me!"
After a while, Lan Yu left the city lord's mansion.
In the evening, he returned to Lan Mansion.
After the gate closed, Lan Yu's face immediately turned gloomy.
Lan Yueling happened to see Lan Yu and immediately asked with confusion on her face:
"Dad, what happened?"
Lan Yu frowned, "Yue Ling, tell the truth. Is it possible that the city lord asked someone to kidnap you in order to provoke a conflict between me and Hong Biao?"
Lan Yueling pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "It is possible, but there is no evidence."
"Furthermore, as the city lord, why do you want to plot against dad and Captain Hong Biao?"
Lan Yu snorted coldly:
"He wants to achieve something great, so he chooses his true confidants."
"But how can he accomplish anything great if he only looks at his subordinates?"
"He told me today that I am his true confidant and would recommend me to be the city lord of Liang City in the future. I just thought he was farting."
After thinking about it, Lan Yu looked at Lan Yueling and said:
"Go inform your mother and pack your things immediately. I don't feel very good. We should leave Songcheng as soon as possible and find a place to hide for a while."
"Troubled times are about to arise, and we, the Lan family, cannot afford to be in troubled waters for no reason."
Lan Yueling frowned slightly:
"But dad, you are the captain of the city lord's mansion. If you disappear like this, what will happen?
It triggered an investigation by the City Lord's Mansion. No matter where we go, we will find traces. "
Lan Yu shook his head, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes:
"Take it one step at a time. If we don't leave, I feel we will die in Songcheng."
Seeing her father's resolute attitude, Lan Yueling nodded quickly: "I'll go and inform my mother right away."
In the courtyard where Hong Biao lives.
The man in black robe appeared again.
After Hong Biao closed the door, he got straight to the point:
"Li Mugong has already agreed."
"But he didn't want our promise. He only wanted a thousand star stones. I agreed, but I wouldn't give it to him all at once. Instead, I would give him two hundred star stones every year and pay it off in five years. These five years are enough to examine his Sincerity."
Hong Biao frowned, "I'm going to Liangcheng to be the city lord tomorrow."
"It seems that the Territory Lord's Mansion wants to take this opportunity to find out the cause of death of the previous Lord of Liangcheng."
The man in black robe looked sharply:
"They are currently busy searching for people from our Moyun world. They suddenly want to investigate this matter. They must suspect that this matter was done by our people from the Moyun world."
"Be careful after you go to Liangcheng. There will definitely be many eyes watching you."
"Even if you die, your identity cannot be revealed, otherwise you will implicate many of our brothers and sisters."
Hong Biao gave the man in black a cold look, "Liang Ce, I, Hong Biao, do I need you to teach me how to do things?"
Liang Ce chuckled: "Of course I don't have to."
