"The city lord has an order, please come to the city lord's palace to have a talk with Konoha-sama." An officer knocked on Ling Han's door and conveyed the order coldly.
On the surface of the space alien crystal, the formation patterns and spiritual diagrams of the eight gates are carved with concentrated energy. It took a whole day and a night, and after it was done, I was just about to go to bed and have a good sleep, when someone knocked on the door.
Ling Han rubbed his dazed eyes and asked, "What does the city lord want from me?"
"Please just chat, please hurry up!" The officer cherished his words like gold, which was somewhat similar to Fan Lei's style. Could it be that all patrol officers were like this.
Ling Han yawned and said, "Okay, let's go now."
I didn't want to have anything to do with the City Lord's Mansion, but when I thought about it, I could take the opportunity to attract the attention of many forces and set up a perfect plan. I couldn't go directly to the Wei family to kill people.
A cold light flashed in Ling Han's eyes, and he had a countermeasure in his mind. He started taking action and completed the assessment as soon as possible!
The moment Ling Han stepped out of the gate of Yuling Tower, many forces knew about it. Countless surveillance spies were shuttled in the darkness, passing on information and paying close attention to Ling Han's movements. All forces also took action.
"You shouldn't be sniping me in the street." Ling Han walked leisurely on the street, listening to calls for buying and selling, and already noticed that several people were secretly watching him.
"You don't know my identity, so you don't dare to take action easily." But Ling Han does not have much power. They will find out sooner or later, and they will definitely take action suddenly.
Ling Han walked to the city lord's mansion in a swagger, and the surveillance people who followed him disappeared when they arrived here.
A soldier stood straight at the door, respectfully greeted Ling Han, and led him to a guest room.
The city lord Gong Yangshu was reading a book when he saw Ling Han coming in. He put down his book and said to the guard: "Please take a seat, Lord Viscount!"
A strange feeling flashed in Ling Han's heart, and he repeated: "Lord Viscount?"
The male sheep is in his forties, with a resolute face, in the prime of life, with long black hair and beard, bright eyes, mature, steady and energetic.
There is a bookish spirit, a murderous spirit, and an invisible aura shrouding it.
Xieyang City is the most prosperous city in the west. To be able to serve as the city lord of Xieyang City, Gong Yangshu is definitely a shrewd and capable hero. If there is a war, he will definitely be a prince!
I saw Gong Yangshu silently reciting: "The imperial edict says: Konoha has made great contributions to saving the people of Li in Qiancheng. He will be granted the title of Viscount and ordered to go to the imperial capital on a certain day to receive the reward."
Gong Yangshu smiled at Ling Han and explained: "A few days ago, I went to the imperial capital on errands and heard about what happened in Jincheng. This is the content of your imperial edict."
This is a bit unexpected, maybe it's Yan Ziqi's contribution, Ling Han thought. However, he provided some colorful eggs and was considered a contribution to the antidote, so he was made a viscount.
Viscounts are already considered among the nobility, and there are even fewer nobles of the opposite sex. No matter how many people work hard in their lifetime, they cannot earn this title.
Gong Yangshu praised: "Your Excellency, the Viscount, assisted Master Yan in developing the antidote and saved thousands of people. He is indispensable."
Then he shook his head and said regretfully: "It's a pity that I only have a title, but no real power or salary. I need to wait for you to go to the imperial capital in the future to accept the reward in person."
Ling Han shrugged and said it didn't matter, he didn't need any canonization reward in the first place. At first, it was just to save Qin Susu, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious to visit Master Yan late at night.
"The Lord of the City has summoned me to inform you of this imperial edict?"
"I don't dare to call it 'call', it's 'please'." Gongyang Shu said: "With the title, you are no longer a commoner. We are all His Majesty's ministers and colleagues. It's just that you have more freedom and are not subject to I’m tired from writing documents.”
The maid brought two cups of tea, Ling Han took it and tasted it and said, "The tea in the City Lord's Mansion is very average."
Gong Yangshu smiled and said: "The Viscount is worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold, and the fine tea he has tasted is not comparable to that of our City Lord's Mansion."
Ling Han smiled coquettishly, took a big sip and said, "It will quench your thirst."
"Haha, Lord Viscount, do you intend to sell jade?" Gong Yangshu revealed the real purpose.
"Ahem, isn't the imperial jade sold? I can't bear to part with anything else."
"Indeed, Lord Viscount is not short of silver."
Ling Han changed the subject and said, "The strange disease that broke out in Qingcheng has not spread."
"Alas! Fortunately, Mr. Yu Jin responded quickly and closed the city gate in time, so the disease did not spread on a large scale."
"So, other cities were still affected?" This is undoubtedly a disaster, and many innocent people must have suffered misfortune.
"Yes, more or less some people died." Gongyang Shu sighed and said: "The cities far away from Qincheng were fine. People who were infected with the disease died of the disease halfway, and the disease did not spread. As for the villages that were closer, , almost no one was spared.”
Ling Han left early and didn't know what happened next. Now that he heard about it in a different place, he felt a chill. So many lives were lost like this.
"General Tai Shiyuan led 50,000 cavalry to stay behind, sweeping around Qiancheng as the center, treating the sick, incinerating and burying the dead, and quickly handling funeral arrangements. Only then did the epidemic come under complete control."
Ling Han had met General Tai Shiyuan in Tiandu Sect, and he was a man who asked for orders for the people.
"How will the Sky Poison Sect end?"
"Sky Poison Sect?" Gongyang Shu mocked: "Sky Poison Sect has been eliminated since then. It's a pity that almost all the top officials were killed by the big demon, otherwise all the forces will not let them go."
"What will happen to the son of Wu Shifeng?"
"Your Majesty disbanded the Sky Poison Sect, but did not go on a killing spree. All the disciples went their separate ways. Brothers Wu Yuntian and Wu Congtian should also be in peace."
"Oh, that's right." Then meeting them in the future will inevitably lead to a fierce battle.
Gong Yangshu looked at Ling Han with a half-smile but said, "I have collected the deeds of Lord Viscount in Qingcheng and Qingyun City."
"Oh? I haven't done anything unconscionable, so why not know." Ling Han's eyes widened, and he investigated really quickly.
"Not only do I have information, but all the forces in Xianyang City must have gotten the news by now."
Gong Yangshu's unpredictable smile made Ling Han's hair grow cold as he stared at him: "The Viscount is really mysterious."
"How to say?"
"Okay, I'll read you the information I got."
Gong Yangshu opened an envelope from the desk, cleared his throat and read: "Konoha, the origin is unknown, the essence and blood cultivator is in the realm of wood.
In Qingyun City, the holder of the Black Cloth, a relic of the Heavenly Demon Sect, possesses the heavenly weapon - the Heavenly Demon Sword. He was once wanted and hunted by the third prince, but finally failed and gave up.
In Qingcheng, he won a life-and-death duel with Yi Bin and captured Xuanming Black Armor. "
Ling Han spread his hands and said, "This is nothing unusual."
"It is already extremely difficult to master the black cloth that opens the ruins of the Heavenly Demon Sect." Gong Yangshu stared at Ling Han, waiting for his answer.
Ling Han opened his eyes and said, "Who said I got the black cloth? That's nonsense." But his heart felt a little cold. Did Yulinglou sell him? Only Lan Yu knew that the black cloth was auctioned from his own hands.
Seeing Ling Han's disapproving expression, Gongyang Shu said, "This is news released by the third prince, and ordinary people cannot get it."
"Anyway, he wants me, and I can't refute whatever label he puts on me."
How Black Bu was born is still a mystery, perhaps only Xiaobai knows. Back then, the fire-patterned earth dragon only carried the reverse scale that opened the ruins, not the black cloth that opened the main hall.
Those who are interested in the demon clan related to Heibu will definitely investigate its origin, and those related to it may be affected.
Gong Yangshu laughed and said: "Heibu is closely related to the demon clan and hides shocking secrets. I can't completely believe what the third prince said."
Ling Han breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he wasn't sure either.
Gong Yangshu stood up and walked a few steps, giving people a hazy feeling. He looked out the window with deep eyes and sighed: "It is not a wise decision to become enemies with the third prince."
"The power of the third prince is too strong, and with the great help of the current prince, great things will happen!" Gong Yang finished his speech and looked at Ling Han's reaction intentionally or unintentionally.
Ling Han disappointed him, and there was no wave on his expression. Gong Yangshu turned around and said calmly to Ling Han: "I have no other intention of inviting you here. I see that you have been in the limelight recently, and I want to have a chat with you."
Ling Han knew in his heart that the city lord was probably not on good terms with the third prince. Either he wanted to get some information from him, or he was interested in a certain treasure.
Ling Han didn't believe it. A high-ranking city lord cared about himself, a guest in the world, and personally invited him to chat with him, and even found out the imperial edict about him.
