Hanling City, outside the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion
Langbingwei glanced at Xia Houfeng, who was lying in a pool of blood and lifeless, then turned around and glanced at the guards watching outside the hall. Wiping the scimitar and taking it back, Zhengding said with a righteous look:
"Just now! Military general Xia Houfeng broke into the Hanling Palace without authorization, poisoned the Lord of the City, and fabricated false information through the Hanling Jade to frame me. His heart is sinister and his crime is unforgivable! When Lord Han was poisoned, I predict that my fate will be over soon. Therefore, I pass the 'City Royal Order' to this commander, ordering me to hoe the evil thieves and take charge of Hanling City! Now, the rebellious officials and traitors have been killed on the spot, and I have been ordered to take charge of Hanling City in the face of danger!"
After some words of concealment, he spoke impassionedly and without changing his face. Langbei took out an ancient bronze order from his waist, engraved with the word "Han Ling", and displayed it in front of the hesitating guards at the gate of the palace. At the same time, the spiritual pressure of the 'Battle Spirit Level 1st Level' instantly expanded, revealing his strength to overwhelm all ministers.
After listening to Wolfbei's last words about being in danger, he then saw the "Fort Royal Order" he presented and the astonishing strength he unleashed. The large number of guards who were watching quickly fell silent after a burst of hustle and bustle. Afterwards, the soldiers knelt down and kowtowed, saying in unison:
"Meet the new city lord!!!"
Hearing the many sincere prayers, a rare smile appeared on Langbei's cold and sharp face. The scene that I once dreamed of being in charge of power and having everyone congratulate me finally got my wish today. Although there were some flaws in his plan because of Han Lingyu, he was finally conquered by his own strength.
Sure enough, this is a world of strong people. As long as you are strong enough, even if you kill the king to seize the throne, you can still win people's hearts.
Having finished his work, Wolfbei closed his eyes slightly, enjoying the sense of accomplishment from everyone paying homage. He couldn't help but feel emotional, recalling his many years of meticulous plans to seize power:
As early as when he was supervising the slave mining camp, he had conspired with Shui Lianggong, the lord of Shuiyou City. How to get rid of Han Qi and the other three generals? Later, after Duke Shui Liang learned about the place of the thousand-year treasure, he came up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone: take advantage of the treasure hunt to get rid of Han Qi.
For this reason, Shui Lianggong used the success of his plan to get a huge profit from a corner of the Hanling City territory, and borrowed slaves from the other three cities to form an army of 100,000 with his own army. Then he formed a treasure-hunting alliance with Han Qi's 100,000 troops and headed to the Far East.
It was expected that if the plan failed, being able to kill some of Hanling City's elite soldiers would be a gain. But he never expected that unknown demons were buried in the Far East Territory. The black smoke was terrifying, and most of the 200,000 troops were killed, and he was almost killed in it. However, he was able to take the opportunity to get rid of his old rival Liuhei, so the plan was considered successful.
On the way back, he waited for an opportunity to get close and poison Han Qi, while Shui Lianggong hid in the dark to take precautions. After successfully poisoning Han Qi, Duke Shui Liang used a human skin mask to pretend to be Han Qi and returned to Hanling City with him. He summoned General Baffa to a hideout to secretly kill him, and then casually found an excuse to carry out the city lord's secret affairs. Just pass it by.
Finally, based on this expedition, the city lord's strength has improved, and he used the long-term seclusion to attack the 'fourth level mid-term battle spirit level' to let Shuiliang Gong Jin Chan escape from his shell. In this way, the actual control of Hanling City fell into his own hands. As for Xia Houfeng, who was guarding the border, he no longer posed a threat to him, but considering the unnecessary losses caused by the betrayal of his loyal men, it was natural to try to isolate him and deal with it.
However, I didn't expect that this last seemingly simple ending would actually cause Xia Houfeng to let out the Han Qi in the Han Ling Jade for a pre-death message, exposing his ambition to everyone and almost falling short. If it weren't for the current Cold Spirit City, except for myself, who was extremely powerful and difficult to match, the situation would be really unpredictable!
Thinking of this, Langbei opened his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief...
"Password! The border guards and Xia Houfeng rebelled against superiors, poisoned Master Hanqi, and framed and framed the city lord. They have been executed on the spot! If any of his sergeants refuse to surrender, they will be deemed to be guilty of the same crime! All relatives and members of the same clan will be punished. slave!"
Wolfbei woke up from the long memories, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted a stern order. The last stumbling block has been removed, and naturally all hidden dangers must be eliminated.
...
Hanling City, woods outside the city
Seven nights after more than a month of retreat, I slowly walked out of the cave. In the Hunyuan Refining Realm of the Spirit World, after nearly two months of practice, Qiye has mastered it very skillfully. The twenty or thirty yellow-level low-level skills and several intermediate skills swallowed up by the black demon flames are just because Its own strength is weak, and the power it exerts is greatly reduced.
After leaving the cave, Qiye stretched out his muscles a bit, and then continued to hide behind the shade of the trees and monitor every move in Hanling City as usual. I haven’t paid attention to it for more than a month. This time Qi Ye found a large number of people gathered outside the gate of Hanling City, and the atmosphere seemed lively:
Many business travelers and passers-by gathered around a city list posted on the city wall, either studying it carefully or gathering in small groups to talk with their heads down. Some shook their heads and lamented, some remained silent, and some even cried bitterly...
In the end what happened? Qiye wondered in his heart. Because of the distance, he couldn't see the contents of the city list, so Qiye decided to go and have a look in person. With a crisp turn, he jumped down from the treetop, brushed off the fallen leaves on his shoulders and patted the dust. Qiye strode calmly out of the woods, followed the crowds on the road into the city, and walked towards the city gate.
When I came to the city wall, because I was too short and the crowd in front of me was so crowded, I couldn't even see the city wall after looking around for seven nights. Gritting his teeth helplessly, he buried his head down, squeezed his way in front of the crowd of onlookers, and looked up at the high city list with his head held high. Looking at the dense handwriting, Qiye was confused. What was even more incredible was that he had never seen many of the words before, but he could recognize them:
"The traitor general Xia Houfeng, as the guard general of Hanling City. Instead of fulfilling his loyal duties, he tried to seize power, harmed Master Hanqi, and framed Zhongliang. Now he has been executed on the spot by the current city lord, and the remaining remnants of the evil forces have surrendered. . Today the city list is announced, the sky and the earth are clear, and the people's hearts have been rectified."
After Qiye finished reading it word by word, he couldn't help but frown. Turning his head to look at the old man in civilian clothes with a deep expression and a serious face next to him, Qiye said respectfully and politely:
"Grandpa, what exactly happened in Hanling City?"
"Hey, it's hard to explain in one sentence. As it says here: Lord Han Qi, the city lord, was unfortunately stabbed to death. The perpetrator, Xia Houfeng, has been executed. Now Hanling City is under the control of Lord Langbingwei." The old man in cloth took a look at Qiye Hou and said concisely. Explained briefly.
"What?" Qiye was a little surprised. Although he had expected that Langbei might replace Hanqi, he didn't expect it to happen so quickly. And now that the city list has been announced, another general of Hanling City has become the scapegoat. No one can stop him. Langbei has naturally become the unshakable lord of Hanling City.
This puts Nanaya's pressure on him sharply. Langbei has become the lord of Hanling City, and it will be even more difficult to seek revenge from him.
"If you don't believe it, you can ask other people if what I said was wrong." The commoner old man looked at Qiye who was deeply surprised and said with an indifferent expression.
Qiye turned his head silently, looking blankly at the city list, searching for a plan in his heart. Thinking of Wolfbei's conspiracy succeeding, Nanaya's small fists couldn't help but clenched tightly.
"What should we do?" Qiye scratched his head and thought hard.
"Hmph, it was Lang Bingwei who was stabbed to death by Xia Houfeng." In the crowd, a tall man said with his hands on his chest, without covering up.
"That's right, the whole city saw it that day. Could it be that the message transmitted by the Lord of the City was still false?" Next to the big man, a middle-aged man with a rather narrow sense of style also agreed.
"Shh! Keep your voice down. If the supervising soldiers hear it, you two don't want to live anymore?" Behind the big man, a lean and short old man heard what the two said and quickly reminded him in a low voice.
"What am I afraid of!" The big man slapped his chest, looking daring to take action.
"It is said that even Xia Houfeng, who was at the 'eighth level of late battle axe', had his throat cut to death within a few rounds of Wolf Guards' hands. I'm afraid your small life is not enough for others to take a look, aren't you afraid? ?" The thin old man looked like he was well-informed and explained vividly.
When the thin old man said this, the big man suddenly felt a chill on his neck. Fear suddenly rose in his heart, his face became gloomy, and he fell silent.
When Qiye heard the conversation between these three people, he was shocked: Even Xia Houfeng, who had the strength of the 'Later Eighth Tomahawk Level', was easily defeated by Lang Bingwei, and he had no chance of winning. Even if his spiritual strength is comparable to that of a 'Late Battle Level' person, Wolfbei can easily kill a 'Late Battle Ax Level' strong man. If he takes the risk to assassinate him, he might be killed before he even gets close enough to draw out his sharp blade. It lasted seconds.
Thinking of this, Qiye felt cold in his heart and fell into a dilemma: now that his strength is low, should he desperately seek revenge on Wolf Guard? Or work hard to improve your strength and wait for an opportunity to take revenge? Even if he breaks through to the 'war level', he probably doesn't have much chance of winning. After all, there is not a single star difference between him and Wolf Guard. The person who can kill the 'Late Battle Ax Level' easily is probably one step higher in strength.
If he went to seek revenge now, he would most likely die. Not only was the revenge unavenged, but his life was wasted. If you choose the second path, you don't know how many years and months in the future you will be able to outsmart Wolf Soldier and avenge this...
After some difficult decisions, Qiye carefully chose the second path with greater certainty. But then, a question also appeared in front of Qiye: Where did the cultivation resources come from?
Now you can't rely on the black magic flame to absorb other people's spiritual power unscrupulously, so improving your own strength will inevitably require a huge amount of resources. The two advanced spiritual cultivators I absorbed before allowed me to reach the 'elementary eighth level', so if I want to successfully break through to the 'war level', I don't know how much accumulation of resources is needed! Qiye sighed helplessly in his heart...
"It seems that you have forgotten something?" In the Huntian Wheel, the Great Protector who had been watching Qiye's actions seemed to see his troubles and pointed it out.
"I forgot something..." After hearing what the Great Protector said, Qiye lowered his head and recited silently, recalling carefully. The Great Dharma Protector will never rise without wind, I believe there must be a reason. Soon, a flash of lightning flashed across the memory, Qiye suddenly burst into surprise and said
"Yes, I remembered, let's go! Go take a look." Qiye quickly disappeared into the crowd and quickly walked into the mountains behind Hanling City.
