An elegantly decorated boat was rippling on the river, and a graceful woman stepped out of the boat.
Lan Qi.
A trialist from the mysterious Southern Suzaku lineage of the Xingxiu Sect, what is she thinking at this time?
"Miss, it's windy outside, so you might as well come in and sit down."
In the boat, the little girl's shout could be faintly heard.
Lan Qi was indifferent, her eyes followed the big ship in the waves, as if she saw a very far away place.
"The storm is coming."
"Rain, where did the rain come from?" The little girl who came up from behind looked up at the sky with a suspicious look on her face. The sun had not set yet and the weather was sunny. The young lady's words were even more incomprehensible.
…
The treasure appraisal conference finally came to an end at the sunset.
Li Donglai's family also returned home safely. Of course, after returning home, they heard some strange news. For example, a certain family was robbed by strong men of unknown origin on the road, and even their underwear was robbed.
This is not bad, and there are some powerful characters who directly kill people and seize treasures, causing bloodshed within a thousand miles of Akagi.
In such an environment, Li Donglai's family seems particularly special.
With their family's strength, they are really not worth mentioning among those who participated in the treasure appraisal conference. However, their family, Li Donglai, was the largest group of people in exchange for all kinds of treasures and medicines, so they could all be safe and sound.
After returning home, I have to say that the City Lord's Mansion really loves Li Donglai very much.
The key points here are enough to make many people think deeply.
…
The moonlight is gradually rising, the city lord's mansion.
The three of them were sitting at a table and having a conversation.
In the seat, a pot of amber fragrant tea was boiling soundly on a small silver stove. However, none of the three people sitting there had any intention of drinking tea.
The person at the top was naturally the city lord Long Ao.
At this time in previous years, after the treasure appraisal meeting, the harvest would naturally be counted, and everyone would be in a happy mood. But this year is a little special. Zhang Zhoutian, the third-grade pharmacist sitting opposite, didn't seem happy.
His face even looked a bit gloomy.
Sitting beside him was Long Ao's eldest son, Long Xiao.
At this time, this young man, who was known as the most handsome man in Chicheng when he was young, looked around, felt the atmosphere was abnormal, and had a headache in his heart. He knew that all of this was caused by one person, Li Donglai.
of.
That boy's performance at the treasure appraisal conference had already planted an invisible rift between his father and Master Zhang Zhoutian.
Shaking his head helplessly, Long Xiao opened his mouth to smooth things over and said, "Congratulations to Master Zhang. The harvest from this treasure appraisal conference is enough to make three more batches of elixirs."
"Humph." Zhang Zhoutian snorted noncommittally, his narrow eyes flashed on his thin face, and he said in a cold voice: "The only drawback is that there is a boy who dares to touch my face."
"Master Zhang, are you talking about Li Donglai?" Since Zhang Zhoutian mentioned it, Long Xiao could only continue. Looking at his father Long Ao's expression that showed no emotion or anger, Long Xiao said to Zhang Zhoutian: "Master Zhang,
With your status, why do you need to be familiar with that kid?"
In his heart, Long Xiao certainly didn't like Li Donglai, but he knew his father's current position and wanted to use Li Donglai to get to know the more powerful pharmacist behind him. At this time, he certainly didn't want Zhang Zhoutian to cause trouble to Li Donglai.
However, there are some things that neither Long Ao nor Long Xiao know clearly.
If it was just an ordinary fight of spirits, Zhang Zhoutian might be able to endure it, but when it comes to the innate poisonous body, how could Zhang Zhoutian endure such a huge temptation?
What's more, later Li Donglai showed the water-avoiding elixir and humiliated Zhang Zhoutian's disciples. If Zhang Zhoutian could bear this tone, he would no longer be called Zhang Zhoutian.
After chatting for a few words, Zhang Zhoutian felt that the conversation was not congenial, so he hummed, waved his sleeves, and stood up to leave.
Long Ao didn't say anything to persuade him to stay.
When Zhang Zhoutian left, Long Xiao frowned and said, "Father, from the look of Zhang Zhoutian, I don't intend to let Li Dong go. There may be trouble later."
"I know." Long Ao looked calm and composed.
"Then Father is not afraid because he ruined our plan?"
"Don't be impatient when things happen. Think carefully about what I teach you." Long Ao picked up the teapot and filled the two teacups with tea. He picked up his own teacup and sniffed it in front of his nose, and then took his time.
He said: "What does Zhang Zhoutian's matter have to do with me?"
Long Xiao's body trembled slightly as he just picked up the tea cup.
Ginger is still spicy.
In the previous private meeting between Long Ao and Li Donglai, Li Donglai was unscrupulous. Although there was a faint hint of someone behind the scenes, when asked about the details, he refused to reveal even a single word.
If Zhang Zhoutian takes action against Li Donglai, wouldn't that just force out the person behind Li Donglai?
This is actually a good thing for the City Lord's Mansion and Long Ao.
If the person behind Li Donglai gets rid of Zhang Zhoutian, then the people in the City Lord's Mansion can find a way to make good friends with that person.
On the other hand, if Zhang Zhoutian gets rid of Li Donglai, it means that Li Donglai and the people behind him are useless, and he can continue to be friends with Zhang Zhoutian.
No matter how you calculate it, this is a sure-fire deal.
"Father, I understand." Long Xiao raised his handsome eyebrows slightly, smiled, and drank the hot tea.
…
Other places in Akagi.
There are also many people discussing in secret.
Some things that can only be done in the dark are brewing under the moonlight.
"That adult said that as long as Li Donglai can be eliminated, the benefits will be..."
"Not to mention anything else, wouldn't you be tempted just by the treasures Li Donglai got from the treasure appraisal conference this time?"
"Then do it."
"Anyway, if something goes wrong, that adult will take care of the aftermath for us."
"What's the point of hesitating?"
"Then it's such a happy decision."
…
Three hundred miles away from Chicheng, there is a branch of the Qingluo Mountains called Heitian Ridge.
The ridge is where Chicheng's scattered cultivators gather. The entire mountaintop is integrated by three Yijin realm masters, forming a sect of its own.
The boss of Heitian Ridge is a master of the third level of Yijin, named Tiluo. His cultivation has reached an extremely high level of both internal and external cultivation. He has opened the bloodline of the Dark Night Golden Eagle, making him famous within a hundred miles.
People can reach it.
In addition to Tilo, the second head of Heitianling is a fat, bald man who weighs more than 500 kilograms. He seems to be cheerful and amiable all day long, but if you think that this person is easy to get along with, you are wrong.
The second master, Qianlong, has opened a special spider-eating bloodline. His body of fat is made of the power of the bloodline, which can swallow up all attacks on the body. At the same time, he is also a ruthless person. In the Heitian Ridge area, he killed the enemies with their heads rolling. It was simply
He is a character who can make children stop crying at night.
