NOVEL WEB Chapter 139
With Li Taixing present in Jackdaw Town, it would be basically impossible for them to attack.
With the methods they just saw, it would be too easy for Li Taixing to assassinate them both if he wanted to.
“This is a task, we must complete it”
“ah. But……”
“Since there are cultivators on the opposite side, we will report this matter. You can send a trusted confidant to tell the city lord what is going on here and ask him to send cultivators to help.”
“But don’t say other irrelevant things”
“good.”Zhuo Zilin sighed in his heart.
He knew that Zhao Chong’s idea was a bit stupid. Don’t talk about irrelevant things.
“It seems that a dead soldier has to be sent.”Zhuo Zilin felt distressed for a while.
Then, he sent a dead soldier to Pingyuan City to report the things here to the city lord.
At this time, Li Taihang and Ye Lan’er were sitting on the boulder on the mountain, looking through the Hunyuan Sky Mirror. After seeing what Zhao Chong did, he said somewhat depressedly:”Is this Zhao Chong sick? I’ve already told him the truth, but this idiot still wants to continue to deal with us?”
“That Zhuo Zilin, on the other hand, has a more normal mind.”
“Master, we might as well kill this guy directly.”
Li Taihang was speechless.
“We have strength, but we are not murderous”
“So is he looking for someone to deal with us?”
“Haha, I’m quite curious, what will be the final outcome of this guy?”Li Taihang could tell that Zhao Chong should know the truth, but he didn’t understand why he persisted.
It must be the so-called foolish loyalty.
Or should we say that it is the duty of soldiers to obey orders?
“Just in time, let’s take a look at the character of that city lord.”Li Taixing said.
Then, Li Taixing watched Zhuo Zilin arrange for a dead man, and after giving some instructions, he asked him to go to the city lord’s mansion.
Pingyuan City.
In the city lord’s mansion.
The lights were bright, there were singing and dancing, and it was a joyful scene..The city lord Lin Tianlong is entertaining the nobles and wealthy businessmen in Pingyuan City.
“Lin thanked everyone for coming. Lin Tianlong raised his wine glass and said:”Lin goes first as a courtesy.””
“Come”
“good!”
Lin Tianlong drank all the wine in one gulp, which attracted roars of applause.
When Lin Tianlong was about to continue, suddenly, a personal guard came to him and whispered something
“Master Liu”
“The official is here”
“Please take care of all the guests. I need to leave first.”
“Okay, Lord City Lord”
“Everyone, Lin will leave for a while and will be back later.”Lin Tianlong bowed his hands to everyone to express his apology.
“It’s okay, Lord City Lord, go get busy.”
“Yep.”
These nobles and wealthy businessmen greeted him one after another.
Then, Lin Tianlong left the living room and came outside. He walked to a remote place. After seeing that there was no other person around, he walked in
“how?”
“Meet the Lord of the City.”
When the dead man saw Lin Tianlong coming, he immediately saluted
“Well, what’s the news?”
“Master Zhao and the master were both captured, and his guards and officers and soldiers betrayed them.”
“Now, these officers, soldiers and personal guards have gathered together with the people of Jackdaw Town to resist us at the mountain pass.”
“General Zhuo used a trick to make a sneak attack. It was supposed to be successful, but in the end, a cultivator took action, leading to failure.”
“Now it’s up to the immortal cultivators to stop us from taking action. Therefore, the general hopes that you can send immortal cultivators to help. Otherwise, this battle will be difficult to win.”
When Lin Tianlong heard that there were cultivators involved, he immediately frowned.
He had never thought of this matter.
“Immortal cultivator? Sure?”
“Yes. The other party has even warned us. I don’t want us to take advantage of Jackdaw Town again, otherwise, we will bear the consequences.”
“What kind of strength is it?”
“We don’t know, but the other party should be at a very high level, able to appear and disappear suddenly in front of us.”
“so smart?”Lin Tianlong suddenly felt troubled
“So what do we lose?”
“Only during the attack on the mountain pass, hundreds of people were lost. Not much else”
“Where are those officers and soldiers?”
“They were still at the mountain pass, but the officers and soldiers also lost at least two to three hundred people. After hearing this
, Lin Tianlong nodded and said:”Tell General Zhuo and General Zhao to take down Jackdaw Town and leave no one behind.””
“yes.”
The dead man showed no emotion at all. Since the city lord said so, he would also send back the exact words.
“In addition, let them attack, and I will let the immortal cultivators pass.”
At the end, Lin Tianlong added
“yes”
“Okay, you go”
“obey.”
Then, the dead soldier left.
But after the dead soldier left, Lin Tianlong’s mouth showed a smile.
“Very good, Immortal Cultivator, I will lend you your hand to kill them all.”
Lin Tianlong gave the order to attack, but he would not send immortal cultivators to help.
As for the reason, he could just find one at that time.
Anyway, as long as Zhao Chong and Zhuo Zilin were killed, this plague incident, He probably can’t hide it anymore, so the relevant personnel must die, and some people who are responsible for taking the blame must die.
“Anyway, they have no evidence to prove that I did all this.” Lin Tianlong thought so and returned to the house to drink and chat with the guests.
He has more important things to do now.
He wants to bribe these nobles and wealthy businessmen to support his actions.
At this time , after Li Taixing read it, he said to Ye Laner:”Do you think he will send immortal cultivators to deal with us?”
“I don’t think so. You see, he is focused on the banquet and has no other arrangements. He obviously wants to kill Zhao Chong and Zhuo Zilin.”
“Well, it seems that this city lord is really nothing. I don’t understand why the soldiers who are so loyal to him want to be driven out and killed?”
Li Taihang was really puzzled.
However, no one could explain it to him. After learning what Lin Tianlong meant, Zhuo Zilin or Zhao Chong would definitely attack the mountain pass again.
Especially Zhao Chong and Li Taihang felt that this guy could be so cruel to him. Maybe this guy would have more cruel tricks to deal with the defenders of Yamaguchi.
“Brother, how do you plan to help Jackdaw Town?”Ye Lan’er looked at Li Taihang.
The current battle is inevitable.
“This Zhao Chong is also a big fool. I have come forward personally, but he still dares to fight. Do you want to fight to the last person standing?”Li Taihang was extremely depressed.
It can be expected that they will definitely attack after receiving the order from the city lord.
“Since that idiot wants to fight, let’s deal with him first.”Li Taihang had no choice but to accept the challenge and deal with Zhao Chong and Zhuo Zilin.
