On the surface, it seemed that Jiang Xin was just driven by curiosity and paid special attention to Zuo Feng and the others. Her concern for the direct descendants of the Kang family seemed to be a normal thing, and others did not take it too seriously.
But Zuo Feng was the only one present, and his mind was completely tense. He was even ready for a life-and-death battle. Although if he broke out here, the chances of himself and others escaping were extremely slim.
And Zuo Feng could also see that Jiang Xin, the original "Ten Elder" in front of him, just felt familiar, but he was not sure. At the same time, this person seemed to have some other concerns, so even if he and others faced suspicion,
, and there is no attempt to confirm it, or to try to expose it on the spot.
Zuo Feng was confused and full of regrets under all the circumstances, but he was more wary of Jiang Xin. What he was most worried about when he entered the city this time was meeting Lin Hu, but now it seems that Jiang Xin himself is
We should be more vigilant.
After his eyes lingered on Nifeng for a moment, Jiang Xin turned his attention to the two people at the city gate. It was obvious that although he had doubts in his mind now, he was not in a hurry to solve them immediately. Especially once his suspicion was wrong, he would
At that time, your troubles may be even greater.
There are more important things at the moment, and this is the main reason why Jiang Xin came here this time. He looked at the two Benxiao Pavilion warriors and said slowly, "You two, what are you doing here?"
The faces of these two Benxiao Pavilion warriors had become ugly since Jiang Xin appeared. When Jiang Xin asked, their expressions became even more gloomy.
After one of them pondered, he said softly, "We have taken over the defense of the inner city, and naturally it is also under our jurisdiction. No matter who comes in or out, they must be inspected, and they are no exception."
The Benxiao Pavilion warrior, after a brief hesitation, finally chose to be tough. He must remain tough, otherwise he would not only lose his own face, but also the face of Benxiao Pavilion, which would inevitably be lost here.
After hearing this, Jiang Xinwen slowly raised the corners of her mouth to reveal a smile. The smile continued to expand, and eventually turned into a wild laugh. Mo Shangyu was stunned at first, but then he also started laughing.
But his smile was more calm, and his eyes looked at the two Benxiao Pavilion warriors with a hint of mockery.
"I don't know if you really don't understand, or if you are really that stupid. Who is responsible for the affairs of this acropolis is not something you can decide, unless you are the high priest, or you are the leader of the country?"
Although Jiang Xin said it in a half-joking tone, after hearing these words, the expressions of the two Benxiao Pavilion warriors immediately changed.
Although the two of them are not afraid of Jiang Xin, they also understand that according to the empire's management system, the rights of the city lord are directly managed by the highest level of the empire. Even if they are from Benxiao Pavilion, they cannot give direct orders.
Or command the city lord.
The masters of the Benxiao Pavilion may be able to command the city masters of other cities, but it is a different situation in Xingshou County. The environment here is very special. Even the masters of the Benxiao Pavilion cannot directly command or give orders. What they can do
Just negotiate with each other.
Although this is the truth, Benxiao Pavilion has a special status after all. These two people think that Jiang Xin should sell Benxiao Pavilion to them no matter what.
What the two of them never expected was that Jiang Xin suddenly said something like this. The words seemed to be a joke on the surface, but behind them there was a huge murderous intention. This was actually a hint that Benxiao Pavilion had violated the decision of the top management.
, a plan of my own.
This kind of accusation almost means that they, Benxiao Pavilion, have the idea of betraying the empire. The two of them are already sweating behind their backs, so how can they dare to really answer the other's words?
Another Benxiao Pavilion warrior gritted his teeth and said, "After we arrived, the Pavilion Master Wu Tian has told you that the situation is serious now. If the two priests are here, they will definitely agree with our current approach and agree to let us
Come and take over the defense of the inner city."
"Hey, it turns out that you are not following the order of the high priest, that is to say, you are following the priest's instructions. This matter is quite simple. Please hand over the priest's order to me for a look."
Jiang Xin still had a smile on her face. She reached out and waved it in front of the other party, indicating to the other party to take out the priest's "handwriting" and read it.
Where did the Benxiao Pavilion warrior have such a "handwritten" book? He was about to speak as his anger surged. His companion on the side was relatively calm. He knew that if his companion spoke, he would definitely say "Why do you want a 'handwritten' book?" or "Yes."
I won’t even show you the handwriting” or something like that.
But there is a trap in the other party's words. As long as you follow the other party's words, not only will you two be in big trouble in the future, but you will even be directly involved in Yuge's misfortune.
After stopping his companion from speaking, the Benxiao Pavilion warrior softened his attitude a little and said, "We are all from the Yelin Empire. We naturally have to work together to deal with the enemy. We also hope that the Lord of Jiangxin City can consider the overall situation. After all, this
This is a very important incident, so I hope you can be considerate."
These words lowered the attitude, which was already very difficult for the Benxiao Pavilion warriors. After all, they had never shown such an attitude before when they faced Bo Ka, the governor of Donglin County.
But after Jiang Xin heard this, he laughed sarcastically, shook his head and said, "Since you don't have a warrant, you should leave here at the gate of the city quickly, otherwise I can send a message to the king now that Benxiao Pavilion has...
…”
At this point, Jiang Xin's eyes turned cold, and then he said word for word, "Take over the acropolis, and the city lord will be useless!"
"you!"
When the Benxiao Pavilion warrior heard this, his face instantly turned pale. This time, even the somewhat reckless companion beside him saw that the situation at hand was not good.
The two of them did not expect that at the end of the negotiation, they would get Jiang Xin's answer, and they had never encountered a situation where their Excellency Benxiao would not come to Taiwan.
The expressions on their faces kept changing. After thinking for a while, the two Benxiao Pavilion warriors exchanged glances with each other, and then one of them said, "City Lord Jiang, you should know that our Benxiao Pavilion has suffered heavy losses this time. And next we must give
The empire has an explanation, and now we are also preparing to give an explanation.
But your behavior is completely obstructing Benxiao Pavilion from doing things. If anything happens, I hope you won’t regret what happened today when you face the imperial challenge.”
"Regret, you said I regret it, hahaha..."
Jiang Xin looked up to the sky and laughed. The laughter seemed to be deliberately spread far away, attracting everyone around to hear it. At this time, no matter the outer city or the inner city, the area for several miles around the inner city gate suddenly became quiet.
Come down.
"This time in Donglin County, your Benxiao Pavilion lost almost an entire team, nearly 200 people. Even the junior pavilion master was almost killed. In such a situation, you just slapped your butt and left Donglin County alone.
Is this what you mean when you come to my Acropolis to point fingers and ask me to take responsibility?"
After hearing these words, the eyes of the two Benxiao Pavilion warriors were rounded, and their eyes were blood red, as if they were about to spit out fire. Jiang Xin exposed the matter of Donglin County in this way, which was tantamount to removing the last fig leaf of Benxiao Pavilion.
They were all torn off.
There are many merchants traveling from north to south here. I believe it won’t be long before not only the Yelin Empire, but also other empires will know about the disastrous defeat that Benxiao Pavilion suffered in Donglin County a few days ago.
In addition, Wu Tian has been trying hard to cover up the Donglin County matter, and at the same time, using his various connections in the imperial capital to minimize the impact of this matter. This is not only for Yu Pavilion, but for the entire Benxiao Pavilion.
But Jiang Xin was completely merciless. When the news spread throughout the empire, even if they wanted to cover it up and eliminate the impact, they couldn't do it. How could the two of them not hate it in their hearts.
"Jiang Xin, you, you are cruel enough, I... we, Benxiao Pavilion, have recorded it!"
The warrior from Benxiao Pavilion was furious, and spiritual energy was surging violently in his body. He had the urge to take action immediately, but reason told him that that would only make things worse.
Another Benxiao Pavilion warrior seemed to be even more excited. He stood there and stared at Jiang Xin, but his companions pulled him away forcefully.
After the two Benxiao Pavilion warriors left, although there were still a bunch of people blocking the gate of the inner city, it suddenly became much quieter. Jiang Xin turned to look at his own team and said softly, "As in the past, there are still many people staying here.
The next four people are guarding the city gate. The rules are still the same as before. There is no need to pay attention to the people from Benxiao Pavilion."
Upon hearing such an "arrogant" order from their own city lord, the warriors of the city guard immediately responded with a "promise", and then four warriors stood up and stood at the gate of the inner city.
After dealing with the warriors in Benxiao Pavilion, Jiang Xin turned to look at Mo Shangyu and said, "Brother Mo, I wonder if you are satisfied with how I handled it."
Mo Shangyu hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said with a smile on his face, "You can't say that, City Lord Jiang is hurting me by doing this. I, a small commoner, am really grateful to have City Lord Jiang take care of me!"
"
After the two of them finished speaking, they looked at each other and then laughed loudly at the same time. It seemed that both of them were very happy about driving away Benxiao Pavilion.
Turning slightly sideways, Jiang Xin stretched out her hand and made a "please" gesture, and at the same time said, "Don't worry about it, go to the city."
Mo Shangyu also hurriedly bowed and said at the same time, "Your Majesty, City Lord, please come first!"
This time Jiang Xin was not polite and walked towards the inner city first. Mo Shangyu was only half a step behind and followed Jiang Xin towards the city.
Zuo Feng and the other four followed behind calmly. If Jiang Xin's appearance initially made Zuo Feng feel a little bit dangerous, after what happened just now, Zuo Feng saw a glimmer of hope in Jiang Xin.
