In the vast and vast Chongmo City, the City Lord's Mansion is the most majestic building complex.
The main building complex in the center alone covers over a thousand acres, with the tallest pavilion reaching a height of twenty feet, standing like a vast eagle in the vast city. There are thousands of acres of yards surrounding it, one after another, filled with ponds, springs and gardens.
But as the strongest person in Chongmo City, the City Lord¡¯s Mansion is not only the city Lord¡¯s Mansion. To the north of Chongmo City, there is a military camp that stretches for ten miles, where the military force of Chongmo City is stationed: the city guard.
The city guard is divided into three types: outer guard, inner guard, and elite guard.
The outer guards are responsible for external defense and military affairs, the inner guards are responsible for patrolling and public security in the inner city, and the elite guards are a special team led directly by the city lord. The command headquarters of these three guards is not a military camp on the outer edge, but is set up in the city lord's palace because they have to report to the city lord from time to time.
The large courtyard on the right side of the city lord's palace is the headquarters of the outer guards.
"Zhuo family, you are all in the limelight, but as the chief of defense of Chongmo City and the manager who has fought against Wanji Castle for many years, I am being poked in the back and laughed at. Your majesty has completely disgraced me. Come and bear the burden, I will definitely not let you have an easy time. Although I don¡¯t know what means you used to deceive Wan Yangyu, but I will definitely investigate and find out the ¡®truth¡¯.¡±
In the darkness, there was a figure looking at the bright moon outside the window, showing a cold glow in his eyes.
¡¡¡¡¡¡
"Battalion Commander Xiao, this is Ye Dong. It was he who showed up with his brothers that day and killed all the horse thieves in Wanji Castle. Therefore, he is the hero who killed the horse thieves and deserves the most credit."
That Camp Commander Xiao is about 24 or 25 years old. He looked at Xiang Ye Dong, and then said lazily as if nothing was wrong: "This time the Zhuo family destroyed the Wanji Castle and eliminated great harm to Chongmo City. On behalf of the city lord and outer guards of Chongmo City, I would like to express my congratulations and commendations to you. .¡±
He paused, his face turned cold, and said to the people in front of him: "But at the same time, I will check some details to avoid being deceived and concealed, and defrauded of military exploits and honors."
As a battalion commander under the jurisdiction of the foreign guards, he did not dare to act arrogantly in Chongmo City. But when you come to this small town, it is inevitable to be domineering. Just the few golden characters "Chongmo City Outer Guards" are enough to make these small aristocratic families terrified.
So he didn¡¯t hide it and showed it directly.
"Don't be dissatisfied with me. I am a straightforward person and don't like beating around the bush when doing things. Credit belongs to work, and credit must be verified to be real credit. If it is truly deserved, what should be given to you will be given to you. If it is among them If it¡¯s fake, that¡¯s another thing.¡±
He deliberately slowed down and stared at the two people. An understatement, not afraid of Zhuo Zhuo's anger.
Zhuo Zhuo immediately smiled and said: "This is this is Our Zhuo family does not expect a reward from the Lord of the City. We are dealing with Wanji Castle just to protect ourselves. This reward In my opinion, Camp Commander Xiao ¡¡±
"What do you mean? According to the rules, this is a reward given by the city lord to meritorious officials. I don't dare to swallow it up. If someone reports it, I can't explain it clearly. Don't worry, it's just investigation and verification. It¡¯s a normal sequence, why do you look so guilty?¡±
His words were merciless. There was an aggressive tone: "Don't worry, I, Xiao Xingrui, have something to tell you. My integrity is well-known in Chongmo City and I won't make it up. I will definitely investigate carefully and seek truth from facts."
"Yesthat is." Zhuo Zhu sneered at this. It was speculation to say that Xiao Xingrui would make things difficult for them on this trip, but now he has shown his performance. Enough to judge that this speculation is completely correct. The other party just came down to give him some eye drops, which was disgusting, as revenge for the Zhuo family's killing of Wanji Castle and their disgrace.
His little head of the family naturally didn¡¯t dare to fight back if the other party made things difficult again. That is to say, it is a small fight. If you overreact, the other party will take the opportunity to make the matter bigger.
Xiao Xingrui pointed to a small box of gold on the table, "This is the reward the city lord will give you. It is only given to you temporarily. I hope you will cooperate well. If later, I find something fishy in it, I will not only take back the gold, but also report it to you, so that you can be outstanding." The family was severely punished.¡±
"I understand." As the saying goes, don't do anything bad and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.
The battle between the Zhuo family and Wanji Castle was personally experienced by him and watched by countless people, and he was not worried about the other party's investigation.
Xiao Xingrui coughed dryly, walked up to Ye Dong, stared at Ye Dong's face at close range, and searched back and forth inch by inch, as if trying to find flaws and confusion.
It¡¯s a pity that Ye Dong looks like a sculpture and has no expression.
"I heard that you are in the second-star realm?Looking at your appearance, you should be in your early twenties. What I'm curious about is why you practice so fast." When Zhuo Zhuo introduced Ye Dong just now, he felt this surprise in his heart. Ye Dong was young beyond his surprise, and Wan Yangyu was a third-year-old.He is a strong player, and according to rumors, he was promoted to four stars in the final battle. Why is it not surprising that such a super strong man died at the hands of a young man like Ye Dong? He also chased Wan Yangyu several times, but with his cultivation level, he couldn't even catch up with him, let alone fight him.
¡°This is my secret, it¡¯s not convenient to reveal it.¡±
"Oh? Is there something shameful in it?" Xiao Xingrui was not surprised by this answer, but he was extremely unhappy with Ye Dong's tone. "Who the hell do you think you are? You just have a little reputation for repelling the Castle of Silence! I entered the city guard of Chongmo City and you are still nursing, how dare you show off in front of me!"
The hearts of the people in the room jumped as they smelled the smell of gunpowder. Zhuo Zhuo quickly buffered and said: "Ye Dong is the number one genius in Baode Town. His progress is unparalleled by ordinary people. His speed in cultivation is normal. As for how to practice, it is a personal secret of cultivation. , I guess it is not convenient for him to reveal it. This matter has nothing to do with the destruction of the Fortress of Silence. Maybe Commander Xiao can change the question?"
Ye Dong wanted to tell you that it was none of your business! When he glanced around, he saw Zhuo Bing and Zhuo Yi behind him with anxious faces. They winked desperately to make him endure it, but in the end they did not have an attack.
"Okay, since you don't want to answer, I won't force you to make things difficult, but I hope you can cooperate well later. To change the question, there are more than two hundred horse thieves coming to Wanji Castle, all of them are the elite of the elite. According to the description of the outstanding family leader, the former , the Zhuo family in the middle section were far less ferocious horse thieves than the Wanjibao, and were killed without the ability to fight back. He also concluded that the Zhuo family had more than 800 members, which was numerically superior to the opponent, but their combat effectiveness was far inferior to the horse thieves." said At this point, he focused on Zhuo Zhuo, meaning whether I made a mistake in retelling it, or did you say so.
Zhuo Zhuo was embarrassed and nodded: "Wanji Castle is ferocious and good at fighting. The front section of my Zhuo family was really defeated by him."
Xiao Xingrui nodded and said: "It wasn't until later that you led a team of twelve people to appear, killing the ferocious horse thieves until the sky was screaming and the ground was covered with corpses. This makes me wonder, what is this team? Can the team be more powerful than the two hundred horse thieves, and the eight hundred strong Zhuo family? Can you open my eyes and see it today?"
Xiao Xingrui is full of teasing, and this teasing comes from the complacency of seeing through the opponent's little tricks. No matter what, he didn't believe that a team of twelve people could kill two hundred horse thieves. So he thought that it would hit the Achilles heel of the Zhuo family and Ye Dong.
The place where Xiao Xingrui was received this time was in the main hall. In order to show its high standard, the surrounding area was decorated and many festive gold papers were also posted. The clean white jade hall looks magnificent.
In the hall, almost all the important people of the Zhuo family were present. But the seats were all towards the back, and Xiao Xingrui was not very interested in them and didn't even bother to look at them. So they couldn't get a word in. They are also upper-class people in Baode Town, and they have a natural look up to the people in Chongmo City. However, when I saw Xiao Xingrui being aggressive and looking like I was going to find fault with you, I felt very angry.
But if you think about it carefully, their fists are bigger than yours and they have the ability to be arrogant. What can you do? You are just a member of a small family in a small town. He is the outer city guard who controls the entire force of the important city, and the battalion commander who holds great power. How dare you?
They clenched their fists tightly and gritted their teeth to endure the humiliation of this powerful outsider.
Zhuo Zhuo looked at the expressions of these people and sighed slightly. Is he angry? Angry! He was so angry that he wanted to slap this shitty battalion commander all over the place. But with thousands of lives of the Zhuo family on his shoulders, he cannot let these emotions influence his behavior.
No matter how Xiao Xingrui humiliated him, he could only swallow his anger and even show that he couldn't understand the obvious humiliation in the other person's words.
"I'm sorry, this battle group is my secret, not everyone can see it." Ye Dong stared at his eyes and said calmly: "I don't need to prove to you whether I killed the horse thief is true or not, with you Is it something? Whether you believe it or not, I have no obligation to explain it to you. As for your mere bounty, I don¡¯t pay attention to it. If you want to take it back, take it back and don¡¯t chatter here"
Quiet, dead quiet.
Ye Dong went crazy! Rub, keep reminding him to endure it! Little did he know that he finally couldn't stop himself from going crazy!
How can you deal with such a blatant confrontation with Xiao Xingrui and such a contemptuous and cold tone? Everyone stared at Xiao Xingrui, watching his face turn white gradually and then turn gray.
It has to be said that although they are very worried about Ye Dong irritating Xiao Xingrui and provoking the wrath of Chongmo City. But seeing the arrogance and arrogance of Xiao Xingrui from the moment he stepped into Zhuo Mansion being slapped hard by such a public, he felt so embarrassed and resentful that he felt very excited and happy.
Zhuo Zhuo was stunned. This change happened so fast that he couldn't react immediately. By the time he came to his senses, the atmosphere had become tense, and it was hard to say anything for a while, so he could only speak quietly and watch what happened.
"This leafI know he's a hothead as soon as he moves. Why did I come here before? I was told many times to endure it! At the critical moment, it still exploded! "Thinking that the previous arrangement was ruined, I was speechless for a moment. But thinking about Xiao Xingrui's harsh tone again, if Ye Dong can endure him, he is not Ye Dong!
