Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 255: Lord of Mangu City, Madam Lingluo

An Ning Wei had become much quieter, and the soldiers who used to walk and chat in groups of three or five were nowhere to be seen.

"Tou'er Li, you are sick at a really bad time."

Tan Hu strolled around the guard post listlessly.

“A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.”

"What horse?"

"forget it."

Li Rui didn't expect that despite his low cultural level, he would have the opportunity to crush others.

Tan Hu was very depressed.

Cao Wei and Lei Yong led more than 1,500 people out of An Ning Wei. They estimated that they would reach the checkpoint by tomorrow at the latest and then gallop onto the battlefield.

That would be so refreshing.

Originally, he had put all his efforts into fighting the enemy, but there were only three garrisons participating in the battle, and Li Rui was not among them, so he naturally lost the chance to go to the battlefield.

Tan Hu did not blame Li Rui.

He firmly believed that if Li Rui had not accidentally become obsessed, he would have definitely been able to squeeze into the list of three people.

Didn’t Li Rui beat Qi Ze like a child back then?

Li Rui laughed.

Of course he wouldn't tell Tan Hu.

He deliberately did not go to the battlefield of the Wu Kingdom.

Isn't it good to be safe and stable?

"Huzi, safety is a blessing."

Tan Hu curled his lips and said, "Brother Li, you can't think like that. When a man is seventy, it is still a good time to go into battle and kill the enemy."

Li Rui added:
"I'm eighty."

"."

Tan Hu felt that he had underestimated Li Rui, both in terms of age and strength.

Li Rui: "By the way, General Cao and his men went to Wu Country. Those rebels in Wu Country may be looking for an opportunity to retaliate. You should bring more people to keep an eye on the trade route. I have already told Lord Lu about the manpower. Just go and get them."

"Okay."

Tan Hu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Since I can't go to the battlefield, killing a few petty thieves in the territory of Yu State can also satisfy my desire.

Looking at Tan Hu running away excitedly.

Li Rui smiled and shook his head: "Young people full of vigor and vitality."

Looking far to the south.

He seemed to have seen the battlefield where corpses were buried in the sand.

This time, not only Anning Guard, and not even only Annan Town, but also Jianchuan Town is involved.

How could an event like this that Governor Yuan himself was in charge of be small?

To put it bluntly, any force below 20,000 is just a minor one and is not worth Governor Yuan's attention.

Cao Wei and Lei Yong were just one of the many troops in the army.

This time, the State of Yu assisted the State of Wu in quelling the rebellion, and the commotion was bigger than he had expected.

It seems that those people on the top of the Yu Kingdom's tower are trying to take the opportunity to escalate the matter. I'm afraid that the Wu Kingdom's court didn't expect the current situation.

This is a conspiracy.

The Emperor of Yu State has probably wanted to interfere in the affairs of Wu State for a long time.

Moreover, they had tried it before, but they had to withdraw because of the ascension of the new emperor of the Wu Kingdom.

Now we have another chance.

Of course you have to grab it hard.

The Wu Kingdom court knew about it, but what could they do?

The war in southern Xinjiang was urgent, and they really needed the Yu State to send troops. Although the dead were all citizens of the Wu State, and the losses were all Wu State's property, at least it was not on their side.

Any price can be paid before final victory is achieved.

This situation is very common.

When Emperor Taizu was fighting for supremacy in the world, the Wu Kingdom actually did something similar.

He may appear friendly on the surface, but he may be swearing at you underneath.

As I said before, interests are the best friends.

'The world is bustling with people all seeking profit.'

"Damn, trash, trash!"

Witch country.

In Mangu City, in the City Lord's Mansion, there were angry curses.

Yuan Gao was extremely angry.

"Zhuang Renhe, when I return, I will kill your entire family!"

The plan was going well.

The Blood Shadow Patriarch has already asked the Nine Souls Dharma King to take action. He just needs to find a way to lure Jiang Linxian out of the city, and then capture him alive to complete the task assigned by the Immortal Lord.

It's fine now.

Zhuang Renhe is dead.

It's fine if he's dead, but the key point is that the crime of killing him has been pinned on the Southern Xinjiang Qi family. Now the Southern Xinjiang Qi family is busy with the war and has no time to take care of the Immortal Lord's mission.

How could he not be angry?

Yuan Gao finally suppressed the anger in his heart and gradually calmed down.

Of course he knew that the person who killed Zhuang Renhe was not from the Qi family.

On the surface, Zhuang Renhe is the magistrate of the State of Yu, but his real identity is a spy of the Ghost Cult. Now the Ghost Cult is cooperating with the Southern Xinjiang Qi Family, and the Southern Xinjiang Qi Family has no reason to take action against Zhuang Renhe.

Yuan Gao's eyelids twitched:

"Who killed Zhuang Renhe?"

Zhuang Renhe is not only the county magistrate, but also a master of the fifth-grade Guanhai realm.

There are not many people in Qinghe who can kill Zhuang Renhe, or they can be counted on one hand.

Just as Yuan Gao was thinking.

A woman's voice rang out: "Mr. Yuan, why are you so angry? We still have a chance."

Yuan Gao looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman with fair skin and wearing a bright red dress walking towards him.

There was an old man beside him, it was Qi Rui.

"Madam Qi, what do you mean?"

Yuan Gao looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with some fear.

Mrs. Ling Luo's surname is not Ling, but Qi.

He is the lord of Mangu City.

Ten years ago, Madam Ling Luo was the wife of the city lord. Later, when the city lord died, she became the new city lord.

I heard that she killed the previous city lord.

The news may be false, but it is true that Madam Ling Luo is vicious and cruel.

He has seen this during his time in Mangu City.

Madam Ling Luo: "He is just a military officer of a garrison. When the time comes, Mr. Yuan just needs to invite the King of France. I will have a way to lure him out. It will not be easy to capture the King of France."

The laughter was so overwhelming.

Yuan Gao snorted in his heart:
'Slutty fox.'

Mrs. Ling Luo obviously did not intend to tell him the specific method first.

In the past few days, he has fought with Madam Ling Luo. Every time they meet, Madam Ling Luo will mention the Nine Souls Dharma King.

How could he not know what Madam Ling Luo was thinking?

Isn't it just hoping that the Nine Souls Dharma King will come and guard the Manbone City for her?

The Qi family in southern Xinjiang has experts.

But those masters are all stationed in big cities. If Mangu City can have a powerful earth immortal stationed in it, it will definitely be much more stable.

The abacus beads are about to fall on my face.

"The King of Dharma has already gone south and will arrive in Wugu City soon. I hope Madam will not break her promise when the time comes."

Yuan Gao spoke calmly.

It would be difficult to capture Jiang Linxian alive relying on the Ghost Sect alone, and the assistance of the Qi family in Southern Xinjiang is necessary.

"nature."

Madam Ling Luo's fiery red lips curled up slightly.

"In that case, I will take my leave first."

Done.

Yuan Gao had no interest in staying any longer, so he turned around and walked out of the City Lord's Mansion.

Watching Yuan Gao leave.

Qi Rui then slowly spoke: "City Lord, are you really sure?"

Capturing Jiang Linxian alive is not an easy task, not to mention that the army of Yu State is only a hundred miles away from Mangu City.

A hundred miles was just a day's work for the army of Yu State. But Jiang Linxian was still thousands of miles away in Qinghe. He really couldn't think of how to lure Jiang Linxian here.

Qi Rui looked at the young man from the Qi family.

In terms of seniority, Madam Ling Luo is his granddaughter.

But Qi Rui was willing to be a deputy in Mangu City.

Why?

Isn't it that Madam Ling Luo is born with a very smart mind? In other words, as the saying goes, this child has been smart since she was young.

Moreover, he has a good foundation in martial arts. He is cruel to others and even crueler to himself.

At the age of 28, she married the old mayor of Mangu City who was already 300 years old at that time. She became a laughing stock of the Qi family at that time. No one expected that she would become the mayor without any notice.

From then on, no one dared to laugh at Mrs. Ling Luo.

"It's really weird, why can't the men of the Qi family be helped?"

Madam Ling Luo's smile completely disappeared, and she looked like an iceberg: "Yu country, do you really think that my Qi family is so easy to bully? I will make you pay the price!"

"Uncle Rui, don't worry."

"Brother, I beheaded thirty people today. Everything went well. I hope you will return victorious soon."

Li Rui looked at the short piece of paper in his hand.

This was sent by Ning Zhongtian along with the military newspaper.

Since going to the Wu Kingdom, Ning Zhongtian would send back a note every once in a while.

According to the letter, he made many achievements on the battlefield.

Now he has accumulated no less than a dozen great achievements.

This is a considerable number for a defender.

It is said that the battlefield is the place where soldiers can achieve great success and soar to the sky. If Ning Zhongtian goes there, he can probably earn dozens of merits just by killing the enemies.

Such a number of great achievements is truly remarkable.

of course.

Li Rui did not think that things were as easy as Ning Zhongtian said in the letter. If it were so simple, then Annan Town and the imperial court would definitely raise the requirements for military merits.

The imperial court's things don't just come from the wind. If you want to earn money, especially on the battlefield, you must exchange your life for it.

Promotions in the military are fast, and it is common to see generals in their twenties.

I don't know.

All of this was built with lives. Behind every young general are countless dead bones.

and.

How do you know who is behind the young general?

Young man, don’t be misled by appearances and get carried away by passion.

Li Rui handed the letter to Wang Zhao: "Xiao Zhao, send the letter to the Tiandi Alliance and have your senior brother give it to Alliance Leader Huang."

"Yes, Master."

Wang Zhao nodded.

Ning Zhongtian is not only his brother, he also has a deeper friendship with Huang Chui and Fei Laosan. There is no reason for him to know it himself but not tell them.

Just take it as a report of safety.

After getting along with each other, Li Rui could also feel it.

Huang Chui and Fei Laosan already regarded him as the leader, and Ning Zhongtian as a brother.

Li Rui had no reason to feel sorry for this. It was good enough to maintain superficial respect. There was no need for them to treat each other like brothers, and it didn't make sense.

The timing and the occasion are not right. It is impossible in this life.

I’ve seen brothers who share hardships, but who has ever seen someone who treats his boss as a brother?
Although the three of them are all alliance leaders, Li Rui is essentially the boss of the two.

Li Rui believes that he does not have the ability to be loved by everyone.

Military reports continued to arrive from the front.

All good news.

Today they killed a few people, and tomorrow they captured a few cities. Their momentum was unstoppable.

These were posted on the public notice board of the garrison.

The people who stayed behind in the guard post were all jealous.

There is no doubt that if they can win beautifully, they will not only receive military merit on the battlefield, but after returning victorious, the emperor may be so happy that he may even reward them with a sum of money.

The benefits of Bailao.

When Tan Hu saw it, he became even more envious.

I have been taking people out on patrol every day recently, but I haven't encountered a single enemy.

He was so angry that he led his men into the forest and killed several groups of horse thieves.

"Master Li, Elder Jiang wants you to come to his house for a chat."

A Huaqing Sect disciple knocked on the door.

At the beginning, there were quite a few Huaqing Sect disciples in Anningwei. Now, except for those who are on duty, the rest can only be seen in Jiang Linxian's mansion.

"it is good."

Li Rui nodded.

Immediately, he followed the Huaqing Sect disciple to Jiang Linxian's military residence.

When he walked into the lobby.

I saw Jiang Linxian sitting on the armchair, and Jiang Yan standing obediently beside her.

"Ginger."

Li Rui saluted.

Jiang Linxian smiled and waved her hand: "I just want to chat with Brother Li casually, there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates. Come and sit down. Yan'er, serve tea to Brother Li."

As soon as Li Rui sat down, a fragrant breeze blew towards him.

Flattered.

Jiang Yan made tea for him. He had never enjoyed such treatment before.

Jiang Linxian: "Brother Li, I went to visit Senior Tie a few days ago, and he often mentioned you."

Li Rui's heart moved slightly.

He knew that Jiang Linxian had a good relationship with Tie Kuang.

Li Rui took a sip of tea.

The taste was just average. Jiang Linxian had never paid much attention to the way of enjoyment. He was a breath of fresh air among all the officials in Qinghe.

"I just helped Senior Tie a little. Senior Tie is a kind person and he just kept me in mind."

Jiang Linxian raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Forging immortal weapons, this contribution is really not small."

Li Rui put down the teacup and paused.

"This tea is really hot."

He guessed that since Jiang Linxian asked him to come today, calling him brother and asking her precious daughter to make tea, it definitely wouldn't be as simple as drinking tea.

"It's all thanks to Senior Tie's superb skills. I'm just trying my best to help."

Li Rui didn't find it strange that Jiang Linxian knew about the immortal soldiers.

The news about the immortal soldiers will spread sooner or later.

It's not surprising that Jiang Linxian knew it in advance.

But Jiang Linxian's next words were shocking.

"Brother Li, we are all family, so let's not talk about different things. You killed Zhuang Renhe, didn't you?"

Li Rui was slightly shocked, but his expression did not change at all: "Jiang Tou'er, I don't have that ability."

Jiang Linxian laughed and did not continue to ask. She said to Jiang Yan:
"Yan'er, I have a pot of wine hidden in my room. Go get it for me."

"Oh."

Jiang Yan responded softly and then went out.

Jiang Linxian and Li Rui were the only two people left in the lobby.

Jiang Linxian continued to talk to herself: "I have seen Zhuang Renhe's body. He was beheaded by the immortal soldiers."

Li Rui raised his eyebrows.

"Don't worry, Brother Li. I'm probably the only one in the world who can see this. I've already erased all the traces for you. No one will be able to find you."

Li Rui narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly:
"Thank you, Jiangtou."

Jiang Linxian smiled slightly: "It's just a piece of cake, and I have wanted to kill that Zhuang for a long time."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Then we chatted for a full hour.

Jiang Linxian took a sip of tea and sighed:
"Brother Li, I became enlightened at the age of three, and started practicing swordplay at the age of five. I have never had an opponent of my level, which often made me feel confused and lonely."

Li Rui blinked his eyes:
"Why does Jiang Touer feel this way?"

Jiang Linxian narrowed her eyes:
"I can accomplish whatever I want to do, and I can kill anyone I want to kill. Tianjiao can only see my back."

“So sometimes I can’t help but ask.”

"Am I too talented?"

Li Rui: “.”
