Fairy, shut up! I'm really not blondie.

The burly guards stood menacingly at the entrance; each one was a martial artist, an entity that ordinary people could never shake.

If he were placed in the martial arts world of Yunzhou, he could probably become an inner disciple in a sect.

This same person is now standing guard at the gate.

enough to see.

The city lord's power is definitely not weak.

When Qin Lianshang arrived.

He frowned.

Subsequently.

A look of surprise appeared on his face.

She wasn't surprised by the situation at the city lord's mansion.

After all, he had been in Yunzhou for so many years and knew all the forces in the entire Yunzhou like the back of his hand.

Although most of the real power in Yunzhou is in the hands of Yunding—that is, the martial arts world of Yunzhou—as the city lord, he is not a completely useless puppet.

these years.

The city lord was also secretly gathering experts and hiring them as guest advisors with high salaries.

In addition, he also sent all his direct subordinate soldiers to train.

He was quite generous with his forest patrol officers.

I've spent a lot of money on all sorts of cultivation resources.

Most people in the Yunzhou martial arts world were unaware of this, but Qin Lianshang was well aware of it.

In recent years.

The City Lord's Mansion's hidden strength has even surpassed most of the martial arts sects in Yunzhou, and is approaching the strength of the Three Palaces, Two Gates, and One Temple.

It's obvious they have big ambitions.

to be frank.

Qin Lianshang understood perfectly.

After all, judging from the imperial court's system, this city lord should be the most honorable person in the entire Yunzhou City.

However, they are currently being firmly suppressed by the martial arts world.

If she were in the position of city lord, she would certainly not be content.

However, having ambition is one thing.

Qin Lianshang, however, looked down on the city lord.

They engage in constant underhanded maneuvers, but lack sufficient resolve.

On one hand, they enjoy the freedom of being far from the emperor, thanks to the martial arts world of Yunzhou, and are not subject to the control of the imperial court, allowing them to amass wealth at will.

However, he felt that the status of the martial arts world was too high, so he secretly amassed power and plotted to betray them.

The methods used were not clever at all.

If this city lord truly has the courage and audacity to set a trap for the entire Yunzhou martial arts world so that he can seize power himself.

Qin Lianshang might still think highly of him.

As it turns out, this person had ambition but lacked any courage whatsoever.

They always think about taking advantage of internal conflicts and contradictions within the martial arts world to reap the benefits.

Insidious and ridiculous.

In Qin Lianshang's eyes, such a person was not a threat to her in the slightest.

That's why she didn't make a move against the city lord immediately.

One reason is that they don't think much of it.

But the more important reason is that even if he is useless, he is still the only heir of the city lord family.

then.

The Emperor of Dayan appointed this guy's ancestor as the city lord.

Later, the situation in Yunzhou deteriorated, and martial arts forces rose to prominence.

The city lord back then was quite clever; instead of choosing to confront the martial arts forces head-on for the sake of the imperial court, he opted to protect himself.

Give up everything you can, and give everything you can.

His attitude was very humble.

In addition, although the martial arts world has risen in power, everyone still needs to eat, drink, and relieve themselves.

Keeping this city lord around allows him to manage the less important civilians and maintain normal order in Yunzhou City.

On the other hand, this also left some room for maneuver between the martial arts world of Yunzhou and the imperial court: as long as the city lord is still alive, the martial arts world of Yunzhou cannot be considered to have rebelled.

Therefore, the imperial court could not find a very sufficient reason to take action against Yunzhou.

That's it.

The position of "city lord" has been passed down from generation to generation.

Until now.

"City Lord" is not so much a title as it reflects the attitude of the Yunzhou martial arts world towards the imperial court.

As long as the city lord appointed by the imperial court is not touched, the martial arts world of Yunzhou will not be considered to have rebelled, and there will be room for maneuver.

But once you touch him...

That would give the imperial court a reason to launch a punitive expedition.

This is detrimental to Qin Lianshang's plan.

A combination of factors.

She merely watched the city lord's mansion with the same disdain one might show a clown, without choosing to extinguish this unstable factor.

Qin Lianshang originally thought...

Now that the imperial envoy has arrived, and Su Qing has promised to hand over Yunzhou to her.

The matter should have been resolved with the city lord's mansion long ago.

Judging from the defenses and the posture, everything seems to be calm and peaceful.

Talk about it.

She hadn't heard any news about the city lord's mansion while she was busy in the city these past few days.

No news means everything is fine.

In other words.

Did Su Qing really not target the City Lord's Mansion?

"what."

Yun Ling also expressed her doubt.

He blinked and said.

"Didn't that brat say that we can go straight into the city lord's mansion as soon as we arrive?"

"It doesn't look like it at all."

"Damn it, have I been scammed again? Oh well."

She straightened her back.

He already held the spear in his hand, muttering in a nonchalant tone.

"Since Your Excellency has already spoken..."

"Then there's no need to be so polite."

"It's nothing, just a little exercise."

The voice just fell.

She had already rushed out.

The tip of the spear flashed coldly, shooting straight towards the gate of the city lord's mansion.

That unparalleled power directly shattered the plaque of the City Lord's Mansion!

"Who are you!"

"presumptuous!"

"Wait! Oh no! This is too strong, we can't hold on any longer, quickly go and inform the city lord!"

For a while.

The entire city lord's mansion was thrown into chaos.

Yun Ling remained silent.

Only the long spear in his hand seemed like an endless wind, sweeping over and covering the many guards of the city lord's mansion.

They didn't hold back at all.

In her hands.

Those domineering guards, whom ordinary people wouldn't even dare to glance at, were swept up like ants by the gusts of gunfire and then slammed heavily to the ground, unconscious.

Qin Lianshang: "..."

I can tell.

This exceptionally talented spear master has been holding back a lot of anger lately.

That's it.

Now that things have started, it's probably too late to stop.

Moreover, according to Yunling...

With Su Qing's approval, there was indeed no need to hold back.

Qin Lianshang transformed into flower petals and followed behind Yun Ling.

Just as she guessed.

Yun Ling has indeed accumulated a lot of pent-up frustration these past few days.

Being repeatedly suppressed by a teenager had unleashed all the pent-up frustration she had accumulated in her life.

What's even more infuriating is that she can't resist Su Qing at all.

I was seething with anger inside.

originally.

A black current is approaching, and a crisis is imminent.

Although it was somewhat unethical, Gun Leader's expectations were also rising sharply.

I've been holding back for too long.

I need an opportunity to vent my frustrations.

There is no better option than to combat those dark currents of disaster.

however!

At this time.

But Su Qing dragged him to be a cook for a group of people, giving him the most hated logistical work!

After finally managing to calm the people down, the black current vanished with a "snap."

natural.

From any perspective, this is a great thing that benefits people all over the world.
