It was as if something was blocking Zhuang Hancheng's throat, making him completely unable to speak.

Qin Yangjun continued to exert pressure.

"And the matter of my assassination. Your City Lord's Mansion may seem impregnable, but it is actually leaky from all sides."

Qin Yangjun stood up and then slowly walked to Zhuang Hancheng's side.

"If these two things were to reach my sister's ears, coupled with your previous actions, what do you think would be the outcome?"

At this time, Zhuang Hancheng was already sweating profusely, and Zhuang Daoyan next to him was shaking like a sieve.

"but..."

At this moment, Qin Yangjun suddenly changed the subject.

"These things, if viewed from another perspective, are very different."

"City Lord Zhuang, you have been doing your best to guard the borders and integrate surrounding forces over the years to increase your strength. But later you found that as the forces increased, the affairs you had to deal with became more onerous. It was exhausting to deal with them every day, so you could only downplay the connection with these forces and focus on defending the city."

"Although his son was a little immature, he was able to recognize his mistakes in time and sincerely admitted them. The unpleasant things that happened are no longer a big deal."

"As for my assassination, it was because the demons were cunning and City Lord Zhuang was a little careless about their ways, but he rushed back at the critical moment and did not cause any major losses. Considering the merits of defending the city over the years, the merits and demerits offset each other..."

As he spoke, Qin Yangjun helped Zhuang Hancheng up.

"City Lord Zhuang, do you think my angle of observation is correct?"

Zhuang Hancheng was not a fool. He immediately understood the meaning of Qin Yangjun's words.

This Mr. Bishui really lives up to his reputation. He really eats himself to death.

"My Lord, if you can ever use me, I will do my best to help you."

Qin Yangjun smiled with satisfaction.

"I just like talking to smart people without wasting time talking."

Logically speaking, when we arrived at Canggu City, we should follow the orders of Zhuang Hancheng on matters concerning city defense. After all, he was guarding the border and knew the situation best.

And now, taking advantage of these changes, Qin Yangjun has taken the power into his hands.

When the time comes to assign personnel, Qin Yangjun will have the final say and Zhuang Hancheng dare not go against his will.

Of course, Qin Yangjun had no intention of completely taking over the power. He only wanted to divide the route when returning to defend.

But that alone is not enough to offset what they did.

"I remember that the previous generation of demon king had something in the treasure house of your city lord's mansion, right?"

Zhuang Hancheng was startled at first, then his expression changed.

I didn't expect Qin Yangjun to have such a big appetite. That was the thing of the Demon King in the Tribulation Realm. It was also one of the few treasures he could show off.

but....

He gritted his teeth.

"If you need it, I will go get it now and give it to you."

"Well, there's no rush now. It doesn't matter whether it's earlier or later. Besides, there's one more thing..."

As Qin Yangjun said this, he looked at Zhuang Daoyan standing aside. Zhuang Hancheng immediately understood what he meant and gave Zhuang Daoyan a light kick.

"You have nothing to do here, get out now."

Afterwards, Zhuang Daoyan ran out tumbling as if he had been pardoned, looking at the embarrassed figure's back.

Look at Qin Yangjun who is about the same age but full of vigor and vitality.

Zhuang Hancheng sighed bitterly, feeling very disappointed with his friend.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, sir."

Qin Yangjun smiled indifferently.

"Let's get down to business. There is something I want you to do..."

Qin Yangjun didn't talk with Zhuang Hancheng for long, because the matter itself was not very troublesome, and Qin Yangjun didn't need to explain anything to him.

After the chat, Zhuang Hancheng left. Looking at Zhuang Hancheng's back, Qin Yangjun gradually calmed down.

Now that the preparations are complete, it all depends on when the demons will take action.

Drip!

At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly exploded in Qin Yangjun's ears.

This was the sudden response to the warning I had set up for Ling'er.

Qin Yangjun immediately rushed out of the room.

As soon as he entered Ling'er's room, Qin Yangjun smelled a strong burnt smell and saw something burning in the middle of the door.

I can still vaguely see some faces

At this time, Ling'er was cleaning the silk threads on her body on the bed. When she found Qin Yangjun coming, Ling'er was a little excited.

"I'm so glad you're okay, Master."

Her memory still remained at the moment before she fell into a coma.

Qin Yangjun smiled helplessly.

This silly girl didn't even think about herself. She almost lost her life at that time.

"Don't do such dangerous things next time."

"But Master..."

"Since you call me Young Master, you have to listen to me. Do you understand?"

There was a sense of unquestionableness in Qin Yangjun's tone.

Qin Yangjun's "dominance" inexplicably made Ling'er feel warm in her heart, and thousands of words turned into a simple character.

"Ah."

Chapter 54: Conscience

"What happened here just now?"

Hearing this, Ling'er's expression couldn't help but become serious.

"Ling'er didn't know the details either. She just woke up and saw a white fox-like paper puppet at the head of my bed. It said some nonsense to me, saying that it was my sister and wanted me to go with it. I refused, so it tried to take itself away by force. In the end, I burned it with fire."

Paper puppet...

It seems that my guess was correct. Yin Kang Xuehan has been looking for Ling'er for so long, how could he give up so easily.

Now there is another uncertain factor.

But since the weak Ling'er could burn Yin Kang Xuehan's paper puppet with one fire.

This proves that Zhuang Hancheng's palm strike did cause him considerable damage.

Judging from the current situation, the threat to me should not be that great.

The only thing we need to be on guard against is that she might use other means to take Ling'er away by force.

Looks like I have to dig into someone's treasure trove.

But at this moment, Qin Yangjun really wanted to know Ling'er's true thoughts.

"Ling'er, I mean, if your relative really came to you and asked you to go with her, would you go with her?"

Hearing this, a gleam of determination flashed in the little girl's eyes.

"Ling'er is yours in life and yours in death. As long as you don't chase her away, she will stay by your side for the rest of her life."

A very classic answer.

Qin Yangjun was naturally very happy that Ling'er wanted to stay by his side.

but....

"Ling'er, aren't you curious about your life story? Why did you end up wandering in Canggu City? And what kind of people are your parents?"

Ling'er seemed to have misunderstood Qin Yangjun's meaning, and her nose suddenly felt sore...

"Master, are you going to chase Ling'er away?"

Seeing that the person in front of him was about to cry, Qin Yangjun hurried to comfort him.

"No, no, no, I'm just asking. Even though you call me Master, I respect your thoughts. I just want to hear the truest voice in your heart."

Hearing Qin Yangjun's words, Ling'er couldn't help but hold back her tears.

To be honest, she did care about Qin Yangjun's problems, but she didn't want to leave Qin Yangjun's side.

After struggling for a long time, she looked much more lonely.

"Ling'er...I don't know."

Qin Yangjun didn't say anything, but rubbed Ling'er's head.

The Sky Fox lineage was a great help to Changsun Youyou in his later years. Qin Yangjun had actually thought about making friends with the Sky Fox clan through Ling'er. As long as he said it, Ling'er would definitely cooperate.

But Qin Yangjun didn't want Ling'er to be forced into doing something by him. She should carry out her own will.

Qin Yangjun did not return to his room because he was worried that Ling'er would be attacked a second time.

Instead, he sat cross-legged in Ling'er's room and practiced all night.

The next morning, when Qin Yangjun opened his eyes, he saw Ling'er's slightly resentful look.

"what happened?"

"No...it's okay."

Ling'er turned her head away.

Last night when Qin Yangjun said he wanted to stay, Ling'er was still struggling with fear and shyness because her young master had suddenly changed his personality. In the end, he just sat on her bed all night.

Although this is in line with Qin Yangjun's character, Ling'er still felt a little inexplicably disappointed.

Ding dong...ding dong...ding dong....

A series of crisp sounds suddenly rang around the ears of the two people, and Qin Yangjun raised his head.

"This is the defense alarm of Canggu City....The demon tribe has begun to attack?!"

The two of them got up and rushed out the door.

After a few breaths, Qin Yangjun arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. At this time, disciples of the Yu Qian Sect had already started to rush to the huge square.

There were soldiers in armor in front of the gate running towards the city gate, and some soldiers were evacuating the crowd.

As soon as Qin Yangjun arrived, Zhuang Hancheng and the four leaders of Yu Qianzong came to greet him.

Before he could speak, Zhuang Hancheng bowed slightly and said:

"Scouts at the front reported that the demon army has begun to advance and is about ten miles away from Canggu City. Also, I have already done what you asked for."

It's done. Pretty quick.

"Then City Lord Zhuang, please make all necessary preparations based on your past experience. Once all the disciples of the Yuqian Sect have gathered, we will rush to the city gate immediately."

After saying yes, Zhuang Hancheng turned around and turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the city gate.

In about half an incense stick of time, most of the disciples of Yu Qian Sect had arrived.

Hua Yaoyao, Yu Lingyao and Qian Xiaoyu arrived relatively early and surrounded Qin Yangjun directly.

In fact, last night Hua Yaoyao and Yu Lingyao both wanted to go out to check on Qin Yangjun and Ling'er. They didn't want the other to follow them, but their rooms were close to each other.

Going out would definitely attract each other's attention, so they both wanted to sleep opposite each other.

As a result, the two of them stood at the door together and waited until dawn.

Neither of them slept until the alarm sounded.

The last one to arrive was Jiang Yanfeng.

After counting the people, Qin Yangjun frowned slightly.

He always felt like someone was missing... He couldn't remember who it was.
