When Bai Pingyang saw that Ling Xuewei was silent, he thought that Ling Xuewei was a little moved. Bai Pingyang immediately kept up his efforts and said, "Senior, if you are willing, you can be my elder guest of the White Lion. As long as you are in the Five Lakes State, you can enjoy the highest treatment of the White Lion."
! You are worshiped every year, and Bai respects you even more as a reborn parent..."
Bai Pingyang's voice kept coming to her ears. Ling Xuewei sighed and could only open her eyes.
"Senior, what do you think?" Bai Pingyang felt happy when he saw Ling Xuewei looking over.
He looked at Ling Xuewei eagerly, waiting expectantly for Ling Xuewei's decision.
"Not really."
Ling Xuewei said coldly with an expressionless face.
"Captain Bai, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. Don't you think it's a bit ugly if you continue to act like this?"
Although Ling Xuewei and Bai Pingyang have no great enmity, this person is considered a generation hero in the Five Lakes State. Looking at his frightened appearance, how can he still be as high-spirited as before?
Ling Xuewei started to look down on Bai Pingyang a little.
Bai Pingyang couldn't hand it over and looked at Ling Xuewei blankly. He finally realized that he had made a mistake, "Senior..."
Ling Xuewei chuckled, "Captain Bai, please be patient. Did I ever say I wanted to kill you?"
Bai Pingyang was startled. He was getting more and more confused. What did this old man mean?
Are you planning to let him go?
Bai Pingyang looked at Ling Xuewei with confusion.
I only heard Ling Xuewei say calmly, "I just asked Captain Bai to leave for a while. When the time is up, I will naturally let you go."
With Ling Xuewei's current strength, killing Bai Pingyang is as easy as crushing an ant.
But Ling Xuewei has no hobby of bullying the weak. Once the matter with the White Lion is over, the person in front of her will be worthless.
The White Lion Mercenary Group has been destroyed. What kind of trouble can Bai Pingyang alone cause?
Bai Pingyang could no longer see through the old man in front of him.
Are you willing to let him go?
Is it a perfunctory statement, or is it true?
Or maybe the old man said this just to numb him?
It's time... time? What time?
"What on earth do you want to do?!" Bai Pingyang suddenly felt his heart beating wildly, and a strong uneasiness filled his heart.
"You will know then." Ling Xuewei looked inscrutable.
After that, Ling Xuewei stopped talking.
Only Bai Pingyang was left anxiously trapped in place. Gradually, the sun set and it was getting dark.
The person in front of me has not moved yet.
Bai Pingyang moved his hand, and a scroll suddenly appeared behind him, with complicated inscriptions falling to the ground like tadpoles.
He, Bai Pingyang, is not someone who just sits there and waits for death.
With his current power and status, Bai Pingyang would not be without the means and confidence to save his life.
Suddenly there was a golden light within the formation, followed by an explosion. When the smoke faded, there was no trace of Bai Pingyang.
"Master, that guy ran away, aren't you going to chase him?" Snowball had been monitoring Bai Pingyang's movements in the space. Now that Bai Pingyang was missing, he asked with some worry.
Ling Xuewei stood up slowly. She patted the grass clippings behind her butt and said, "No, it's almost time. Even if he goes back now, it won't help."
As soon as she finished speaking, a messenger talisman suddenly flew from the distance. Ling Xuewei crushed the talisman. After listening to the contents, she said leisurely, "Let's go, it's time for me to go back."
After saying this, Ling Xuewei headed towards Zecheng.
…
By the way, when Bai Pingyang returned to the City Lord's Mansion, he discovered that there was no one in the entire courtyard, and the few captains who were following him were even missing.
When Bai Pingyang was about to go out, he finally saw someone.
"Leader?!"
"Captain, you are back!"
The people from the White Lion Mercenary Group were surprised and happy to see Bai Pingyang, and quickly surrounded him.
"What's going on? Where are the people?"
Bai Pingyang's heart skipped a beat as he looked at his subordinates who were all in a panic.
"Captain, several captains have led people to chase you, but there is no reply yet!" The subordinate reported to Bai Pingyang, "There is also news from headquarters that the regiment suffered an unknown attack last night. The regiment was seriously damaged and almost all were wiped out.
…”
"What did you say?!" Bai Pingyang grabbed him, "Total annihilation? How is that possible?! Not counting the members who are on duty outside, there are at least 4,000 people stationed in the headquarters alone! In addition to the elders and guests,
How could all the combat power be wiped out!"
"Captain, I don't know, I don't know!" the subordinate said with a grimace, "I only heard that the person who came here was very powerful. He killed dozens of captains and elders one after another with the power of a ghost wolf. The remaining brothers were powerless.
To fight, we have to surrender..."
Bai Pingyang turned pale and slapped him away.
impossible.
This is absolutely impossible.
The combat power of his White Lion Mercenary Group is not only the strongest in the Five Lakes State, but it can at least rank high. Furthermore, he also has an army of Contracted Beasts, how could it be possible...
Thinking of this, his expression suddenly condensed.
"Where is that bitch! Where is that bitch?!" Bai Pingyang roared with a ferocious face.
"Regiment, leader, who are you talking about..."
The people below were frightened by his ferocious expression.
"Bitch! Where is that bitch Qingyan!" Bai Pingyang almost lost his mind.
No need to think too hard, that bitch’s handiwork is indispensable here!
Otherwise, how could his majestic White Lion Mercenary Group be slaughtered overnight!
No matter how powerful the person is, he can't succeed so quickly and quietly!
So Bai Pingyang can be sure that if something like this happens, it must be something that bitch did!
"Captain Qi, Mrs. Qingyan..." The subordinate looked at Bai Pingyang's cannibalistic eyes and changed his words stiffly, "She, she is not in the courtyard! I won't see her when I get back!"
really.
really!
It was definitely the fault of that bitch!
Although Bai Pingyang knew before that this bitch was hiding something from her, he didn't expect her to be so bold and dare to collude with outsiders to attack him, the White Lion!
Bai Pingyang said, "Give me the order to immediately send people to search for traces of that bitch! Once discovered, kill without mercy!"
"yes!"
No one dared to ask any more questions, especially when faced with such a sinister look on the head's face.
"Also, call the outgoing team immediately and return to the headquarters! Gather everyone here and set off immediately!"
The people below immediately went to do it. Bai Pingyang looked outside, his face looking uglier than ever.
Even if a storm is coming, Bai Pingyang will never give up! He will get back everything he owes him!
…
Liao Wenyu didn't understand why Pingyang suddenly said goodbye, but he didn't stop him.
Xiong Cang also disappeared suddenly, and the sneak attack incident that day ended up being ignored. Anyway, it had nothing to do with Liao Wenyu, and he didn't care.
Although this mercenary event was full of twists and turns, it ended successfully and everyone bid farewell.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, news came from outside that the Flowing Fire Mercenary Group had been wiped out.
"What? The fire was extinguished? What's going on?"
Liao Wenyu looked serious.
The person below reported, "Yesterday morning, the Liuhuo mercenary group was closed, and there was no sound. I don't know who set up a barrier around it, and no one could get out. When the subordinates discovered something strange, the interior of Liuhuo was already in chaos.
There was chaos, and there was a vague roar of beasts. Later at night, a team of a hundred people quietly came out and left quickly. The subordinates did not dare to show up because they were worried about disturbing them. Only after night did they dare to go in to check, and then they discovered that Liu Huo
Everyone inside has been destroyed, and its leader Pan Guang is missing."
Liao Wenyu couldn't believe it, "Pan Guang is missing?"
"Yes, no trace was found until this morning, so I had to leave a group of people to continue to monitor, and then I hurriedly came back to report to the city lord."
There was silence in the room.
After a long time, Liao Wenyu finally found her voice and asked, "Are there any clues at the scene?"
The subordinate continued, "No, the person who came here was very clean and took care of the aftermath. He is obviously good at this and does not want people to find out his identity. Moreover, he used corpse-transforming water."
Liao Wenyu closed his eyes. It seemed that the person who took action had a premeditated plan. He dared to be so bold and caused trouble in Zecheng. He really thought that he, the city lord, was dead!
Liao Wenyu said angrily, "Immediately issue an order to strictly ban Zecheng. Send people to search for the murderer in the city. Once a suspicious person is found, he will be captured immediately! In addition, the news must be blocked and no one can know it, especially the distinguished guests attending the mercenary event."
them!"
Although the mercenary event has ended, most of the mercenary groups and distinguished guests have not yet had time to leave. Now that such a big case broke out just after the event, when he has just succeeded as the Lord of Zecheng, isn't this a slap in the face?
?
If the people above him find out, he, the city lord, will not take it seriously!
"Yes! In addition, my subordinates found that the White Lion people are also very suspicious." The subordinates continued, "Bai Pingyang left in a hurry before the news about the flowing fire was spread. This has to make people suspicious."
Liao Wenyu pondered.
Indeed, Bai Pingyang's behavior was obviously a bit abnormal, but... as far as he knew, Bai Pingyang and Pan Guang had a close relationship, how could...
"Did you find anything?" Liao Wenyu asked.
"Yes, in the past two days, Bai Pingyang has been in close contact with Pan Guang. They even conspired in the inner room many times. As for what they said, the people below don't know, but it seems... related to Xiong Cang?"
"Xiong Cang?" Liao Wenyu raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, the previous attack on Bai Pingyang's concubine was obviously planned by them and blamed on Xiong Cang." The subordinates also had doubts on their faces, "But why they did this, I don't know...
"
Liao Wenyu suddenly sneered, "No wonder..."
"Sir?" The subordinate stared at Liao Wenyu, looking at the expression on his face, as if he knew something.
Liao Wenyu said calmly, "It's not surprising that you don't know that Xiong Cang has a secret location of black gold veins in his hands. Not many people know this secret. Obviously Pan Guang and Bai Pingyang did this for Xiong Cang.
This secret in your mouth.”
It’s not surprising that other people know about these secrets. After all, there is no airtight wall in this world, and there are no black gold mines... Who wouldn’t be jealous?
I just didn't expect that Pan Guang and Bai Pingyang would take action so quickly. Sure enough, it was Huang You's recent offensive that made Bai Pingyang impatient, so he cooperated with Pan Guang in order to obtain the mysterious gold treasure.
