After my voice was eavesdropped, I became the favorite of the imperial court.

Chapter 322: Seeing old acquaintances again
"City Lord?"

Governor Li Zhen was very surprised.

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

Before the city was built in Wucheng, it was originally the summer resort of the Li family.

Many businessmen pass by the mountain resort every day, or stay and eat at the mountain resort.

The owner of the Li family is a hospitable person, so the guest rooms are full every day.

Later, the head of the Li family couldn't bear the merchants traveling long distances to other countries to do business with their goods, so he tried to build twenty shops outside the compound. Unexpectedly, in just half a month, all the shops were rented out, and many businessmen rushed to pay the rent in advance and asked the Li family owner to build another shop.

Five years have passed, and the Li family's summer resort has transformed from a large courtyard into a large village, and over time it has reached its current scale.

Since the five cities are far away from the borders of each country, and the five cities are just one city, there is no need for the countries to waste energy, energy and money to fight for it, lest the gains outweigh the losses.

It was not until the Daqian Kingdom unified the five kingdoms that King Yong was sent to guard the five cities, and Jin Yiwei was sent to manage the security of the five cities. As for the rent and some affairs in the city, it was still managed by the Li family, but the taxes of the five cities had to be handed over 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 due to the situation, they had to allow the Jin Yiwei to enter the Five Cities.

Over the past few years, the Li family and Jin Yiwei have never had any contact.

When businessmen and martial arts people targeted Jin Yiwei, they also stood by and watched, and even secretly laughed at Jin Yiwei and the court for their incompetence. Therefore, Governor Li Zhen was particularly surprised when he heard that the city lord sent someone to ask him for help, thinking that he had heard wrongly.

"Yes, the city lord's people asked Mr. Li to bring someone over to help."

This is the best opportunity to improve the Li family's view of the court. Of course, Governor Li Zhen wants to help, but when he thinks of the past, he can't help but sneer: "In the past, they ignored us, but now if something goes wrong, they will Come and beg us."

It is estimated that the Li family came to ask for help after seeing what Jin Yiwei had done in recent days.

Liu Qianhu asked: "Then do we want to go?"

Li Zhenfu envoy sighed: "The Emperor Zeng Feige sent me a letter asking me to find an opportunity to get closer to the city lord. Now is the best opportunity."

Liu Qianhu offered his hand in the direction of the capital and said, "The emperor is kind. If it had been anyone else, he would have taken the five cities and returned them to the imperial court."

"Yes."

Envoy Li Zhen didn't say much and took Liu Qianhu and the others away from the Duwei Mansion.

On the way, the city lord's people explained the situation to Ambassador Li Zhen: "Master Li, the thing is like this. Our city lord has always disliked the people of the Demon Sect. After discovering that the Demon Sect also rented a shop in the city for business, he expelled them. Order. If the demon sect doesn't want to leave, it will come to the city lord's mansion to cause trouble. If it's other demon sects, our city lord's mansion can handle it, but the demon sect that came today is different. There are hundreds of people in the ninth-grade Martial King alone. Their leader The strength is even more unfathomable. Our palace master guesses that the leader’s strength may have reached the level of a ninth-grade Martial Master or a Martial Saint.”

"Martial Master? Martial Saint?" Li Zhenfushi clicked his tongue: "Is there such a powerful person among the leaders of the Demon Cult? Why haven't I heard of this before?"

Liu Qianhu was also surprised, but when he thought that the governor said that Mu Nanjin could beat the God of War, there was no need to worry.

The person from the city lord's palace said: "It is said that the leader of the demon sect has never been interested in things and only likes to travel and practice in seclusion. This time he happened to come to the five cities to visit, but he did not expect that he would encounter the expulsion of his own demon sect. , so he went to our city lord to discuss it, and then..."

Next, he did not continue.

Everyone can also guess that the leader of the Demon Cult got into a fight with the city lord and the others over a disagreement.

【Humph. 】

Liu Qianhu and the others heard Mu Nanjin's snort and all looked at her.

What's going on here? Why did you start humming suddenly?

Are you dissatisfied with the actions of the leader of the Demon Cult?
[What could have been a matter of discussion was that the city lord was so jealous of his enemies that he started fighting without saying a word when seeing the demon cult. 】

[The city lord is also too self-righteous. He thinks that he has defeated several demon sect leaders, so he thinks that the current demon sect leader will also become his loser, so he starts fighting against them. Who knows that he has hit a brick wall. 】

The royal guards: "..."

I really didn’t expect that the city lord would take action first. [Speaking of it, what happened today was the result of the city lord’s ambition. He wanted to gain prestige in the world by defeating the Demon Cult, and thus become the leader of a 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 member of the government. It turned out that he wanted to become the leader of the martial arts alliance.

The martial arts leader is not only free, he is equivalent to half an emperor in the martial arts world. As long as he gives an order, most of the martial arts people will obey the leader's orders.

[Hehe, I’ll see my old acquaintance again later. 】

[I wonder what he will become now, I’m really looking forward to it. 】

Old acquaintance?
Liu Qianhu and Liu Qian looked at each other.

Who is it?

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

Just because Mu Nanjin was an old acquaintance didn't mean they would know each other.

The Duwei's Mansion is not far from the City Lord's Mansion, and it takes less than two quarters of an hour to ride on horseback.

At this time, hundreds of people from the Demon Sect gathered outside the city lord's mansion and shouted.

"Chengdu Li, weren't you very majestic just now? Why did you become so shy when you saw our leader?"

"If you have the ability, come out and fight our leader. If our leader loses, we will immediately take people out of the five cities and never set foot in the five cities. If you lose, let someone else take over as the city leader."

"Licheng mainly lost. If our leader is replaced as the city leader, he will definitely do better than you."

"Hey, why are Jin Yiwei here?"

"Do you still need to ask? 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 Jin Yiwei, the City Lord's Mansion didn't help, but now he rushes to help the City Lord's Mansion. It's really a hot face but a cold butt."

The subordinates of Ambassador 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 never extended a helping hand, but now they came to help the City Lord's Mansion. They really couldn't understand what Ambassador 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 he calls the Jin Yiwei over to help, right? 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 Ambassador Li Zhen would come to visit us. It's a shame to welcome him from afar."

[This man's speaking skills are so good that people who don't know it not only make people think that Li Zhenfu sent him here, but also make 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?"
