Chapter 322 Seeing Old Acquaintances Again

"City Lord?"

Li Zhenfushi was very surprised.

The city lord mentioned by Jinyiwei is the lord of one of the five cities.

Before the five cities were built, it was the summer resort of the Li family.

Every day, many merchants would pass by the summer resort, or stay and eat in the summer resort.

The head of the Li family was a hospitable person, so the guest rooms were full every day.

Later, the head of the Li family could not bear the merchants to travel long distances with goods to other countries to do business, so he tried to build 20 shops outside the courtyard. Unexpectedly, in just half a month, all the shops were rented out, and many merchants rushed to prepay the rent in advance to ask the head of the Li family to build more shops.

Five years later, the summer resort of the Li family changed from a large courtyard to a large village, and then with the passage of time, it has reached its current scale.

Since the five cities are far away from the borders of various countries, and the five cities are just a city, there is no need for countries to spend energy, effort and money to fight for it, so as not to lose more than the gain.

It was not until the Great Qian Kingdom unified the Five Kingdoms that the King of Yong was sent to guard the Five Cities, and then the Jinyiwei was sent to manage the public security of the Five Cities. As for the rent and some affairs in the city, they were still managed by the Li family, but the taxes of the Five Cities had to be paid to the court.

Therefore, the people of the Li family were not happy for the court to interfere in the affairs of the Five Cities, but under the circumstances, they had to let the Jinyiwei enter the Five Cities.

For several years, the people of the Li family never interacted with the Jinyiwei.

When merchants and martial artists targeted the Jinyiwei, they also stood by and watched, and even laughed at the Jinyiwei and the court for their incompetence behind their backs. Therefore, when Li Zhenfu heard that the city lord sent someone to ask him to help, he was particularly surprised and thought he had heard it wrong.

"Yes, the city lord's people asked Lord Li to bring people to help."

This was the best opportunity to improve the Li family's view of the court. Li Zhenfu certainly had to help, but when he thought of the past, he couldn't help but sneered: "In the past, they ignored us, but now they know to come to us when something happens."

It is estimated that the Li family came to ask for help because they saw what the Jinyiwei had done in recent days.

Captain Liu asked: "Should we go?"

Envoy Li sighed: "The emperor once sent me a pigeon letter, asking me to find an opportunity to get closer to the city lord. Now is the best opportunity." Captain Liu raised his hand towards the capital and said: "The emperor is kind. If it were someone else, they would have taken the five cities and made them the property of the court."

"Yes." Envoy Li did not say much and took Captain Liu and the others out of the Duwei Mansion.

On the way, the city lord's people explained the situation to Li Zhenfushi: "Lord Li, the situation is like this. Our city lord has always disliked the people of the Demon Cult. After discovering that the Demon Cult also rented a shop in the city to do business, he issued an expulsion order. The Demon Cult did not want to leave and came to the City Lord's Mansion to make trouble. If it was other demon cults, it would be fine. Our City Lord's Mansion could deal with it, but the demon cult that came today is different. There are more than a hundred ninth-grade martial kings alone, and their leader is even more unfathomable. Our mansion lord guessed that the leader's strength may have reached the ninth-grade martial honor or martial saint strength."

"Martial honor? Martial saint?" Li Zhenfushi smacked his lips: "There is such a powerful person among the demon cult leaders? Why haven't I heard of this before?"

Liu Qianhu was also shocked, but when he thought of the governor saying that Mu Nanjin could even beat the martial god, he didn't have to worry.

The people in the City Lord's Mansion said: "It is said that this Demon Cult leader never cares about things, and only likes to travel and practice in seclusion. This time he happened to come to the Five Cities to play, but he didn't expect that he would encounter the expulsion of his own Demon Cult, so he went to our City Lord to argue, and then..."

Next, he didn't continue.

Everyone can guess that the Demon Cult leader fought with the City Lord and his people after a disagreement.

[Hum. ]

Liu Qianhu and others heard Mu Nanjin's hum and looked at her.

What's wrong? Why did she hum suddenly?

Are you dissatisfied with the Demon Cult leader's behavior?

[It could have been discussed properly, but the City Lord hated evil and fought without saying a word when he saw the Demon Cult leader. ]

[It was also because the City Lord was too self-righteous. He thought that he had defeated several Demon Cult leaders and thought that this one would also be defeated by him, so he fought with the other party, but he didn't expect to kick the iron plate. ]

Jinyiwei: "..."

I really didn't expect that the City Lord would start first.

【Speaking of which, what happened today was all due to the ambition of the city lord. He wanted to gain prestige in the martial arts world by defeating the Demon Cult, and thus become the leader of the unified martial arts world. 】

Liu Qianhu sneered.

No wonder the emperor offered all kinds of tempting conditions, and the city lord was unwilling to become a government official. It turned out that he wanted to become the leader of the martial arts world.

The leader of the martial arts world is not only free, but also has the same status as half of the emperor in the martial arts world. As long as he gives an order, most of the martial arts people will obey the leader's order.

【Hehe, I will see an old acquaintance again later. 】

【I wonder what he has become now, I am really looking forward to it. 】

Old acquaintance?

Liu Qianhu and Liu Qian looked at each other.

Who?

Liu Qian and the others shook their heads slightly, indicating that they didn't know.

Mu Nanjin's old acquaintances did not mean that they would know each other.

The Duwei Mansion was not far from the city lord's mansion, and it took less than two quarters of an hour to get there by horseback.

At this time, hundreds of people from the Demon Cult surrounded the city lord's mansion and shouted.

"Lord Li, you were so impressive just now, weren't you? Why do you become a coward when you see our leader?"

"If you have the guts, come out and fight with our leader again. If our leader loses, he will immediately lead his people to leave the Five Cities and never set foot in the Five Cities. If you lose, the city lord will be replaced by someone else."

"If Lord Li loses, our leader will be replaced as the city lord, and he will definitely do a better job than you."

"Hey, why are Jin Yiwei here?"

"Are you still asking? It must be the city lord's people who called him here."

"When did the Jin Yiwei and the City Lord's Mansion collude?"

"In the past, when something happened to the Jin Yiwei, the City Lord's Mansion didn't help, but now they rush to help the City Lord's Mansion. It's really a hot face but a cold butt."

The subordinates of Governor Li Zhen also had a stern look on their faces. They thought that when they were chased by the martial arts people, the City Lord's Mansion had never taken any action, but now they came to help the Lord's Mansion. They really couldn't understand what Governor Li Zhen was thinking.

The man who brought the Jin Yiwei to help immediately dismounted and shouted to the people inside: "Butler, the Jin Yiwei is here."

When the people in the mansion heard this, they climbed up to the wall and took a look. They were sure that the Jin Yiwei was really here before ordering the door to be opened.

The passers-by who were watching from a distance whispered: "The city lord won't be afraid of the demon sect's people before calling the Jin Yiwei to help? It seems that the city lord has kicked the iron plate this time."

At this time, the elders of the City Lord's Mansion came out to greet him.

"I didn't expect that the envoy from Li Zhen would come here. It's a long way to welcome him."

[This man speaks with a high level of skill, which not only makes people who don't know it think that Li Zhenfu sent him here, but also makes Li Zhenfu and others think that the people in the City Lord's Mansion are surprised that they would come to help. 】

Sure enough, people watching from a distance were saying: "It turns out that Li Zhenfu brought people here himself."

The elder made an invitation gesture to Ambassador Li Zhen: "Master Li, please come in."

Ambassador Li Zhen nodded.

Then, a low voice came from the demon sect's sedan: "Elder Li, why don't you invite me to come in and sit too?"
