In the study room of the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Nan was drinking tea alone. At this time, Xue Luohua, dressed in white, opened the door and walked in. He came directly in front of Xiao Nan, cupped his fists and saluted.
Xiao Nan smiled and said: "Master Xue, please sit down."
After Xue Luohua sat down, he looked at Xiao Nan with some doubts and asked: "City Lord Xiao suddenly came to me. Is there anything you need me to do?"
Xiao Nan waved his hand and said: "Master Xue, how are the matters between the Yun family and the Chen family handled?"
Xue Luohua said indifferently: "I have ordered the warriors of the war hall to confiscate all the assets and wealth of the Yun family and Chen family, and kill all the members of the two families!"
Xiao Nan nodded and asked: "Are there any casualties among the warriors in the battle hall?"
Xue Luohua said: "No, this matter was done relatively smoothly."
Xiao Nan suddenly looked into Xue Luohua's eyes, his tone changed, and he asked in a deep voice: "Master Xue, you seem to be very familiar with the Moon Temple?"
When Xue Luohua heard this, he was shocked all over, and then a trace of panic suddenly flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Then he lowered his head slightly, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and said softly: "City Master Xiao, I only heard rumors about the Moon Temple."
Although Xue Luohua tried his best to look calm, the trace of panic flashing deep in his eyes was keenly captured by Xiao Nan.
Xiao Nan's face suddenly darkened, she stared closely into Xue Luohua's eyes, and asked in a bad tone: "You are still trying to hide it from me, who are you and why are you following me?"
Xue Luohua did not dare to look into Xiao Nan's eyes. After being silent for a while, she raised her head and said calmly: "Okay. City Lord Xiao, I admit that I know something about the Moon Temple. I do have reliable information, Yue
The saint of the temple was not killed. She is still alive, but has been hidden. Whether you believe me or not, I really don’t have the slightest ill will toward you or Ba Jian City."
Xiao Nan just looked at Xue Luohua and said nothing.
Xue Luohua also looked at him with a calm expression.
Both of them were silent.
After a long time, Xiao Nan looked away, looked out the window, and asked in a deep voice: "That day at the banquet, you said that my fiancée was in the Moon Temple, and there was still a blood feud that had not been avenged. How did you know these things? This
Apart from me and my master, I dare say that no one else knew about it before I came down the mountain! And I remember that I only mentioned it to one girl later, and her name was Hua-Luo-Xue!"
Xue Luohua lowered her head slightly and remained silent.
Xiao Nan looked back at Xue Luohua, a light suddenly flashed in her eyes, as if she had thought of something, and murmured: "Xue Luohua, Hua Luoxue! Could it be that you are the flower I saved in the small house that day..."
Falling snow?”
Xue Luohua stood up and said in a panic: "Ah, no, no, I..."
Xiao Nan said: "It must be you! But I can understand that you disguise yourself as a man to avoid your enemies. But now you seem to be afraid that I will recognize you. Why is that?"
Xue Luohua, who was previously ruthless to the Yun family and Chen family, was inexplicably panicked at this moment. She did not dare to look at Xiao Nan and whispered: "No, no, City Lord Xiao, you are thinking too much..."
Xue Luohua said, suddenly turned around and rushed out of the door. Then a green light flashed on his body and disappeared at the door of the study room in an instant.
By the time Xiao Nan came to his senses and chased him out of the door, Xue Luohua was gone.
Xiao Nan couldn't help but feel a little depressed. This was a good idea, but he suddenly ran away. What happened?
Xiao Nan looked at no one around, then put his hands on his back, looked up at the sky, smiled slightly and said: "Hua Luoxue, it's really her, she must be right! After being deceived by me, her true identity was immediately revealed.
!”
At this time, a breeze blew by, and a lantern hanging under the eaves next to the door swayed gently.
When Xiao Nan saw it, he immediately became energetic, glanced sideways, nodded to the lantern, and said with a conceited face: "Brother Lantern, I am such a peerless genius, Hua Luoxue actually wants to hide it from me, how can I do it?"
?”
The lantern was silent and still swaying gently.
Xiao Nan was basically certain that Xue Luohua was actually Hua Luoxue, so he went to the battle hall early the next day to look for her.
As a result, he was told by the war hall warrior that Hall Master Xue left the city lord's mansion yesterday and has not come back yet, and no one knows where he went.
Xiao Nan had no choice but to return angrily.
It was still the same on the third and fourth days.
Xiao Nan became depressed and thought to herself, could this Hua Luoxue be avoiding her on purpose?
Xiao Nan was anxious to ask her something about the Saint of the Moon Temple.
Because when the Moon Temple was destroyed, Hua Luoxue was the only disciple of the Moon Temple who escaped.
If anyone is most likely to know the whereabouts of the Saint of the Moon Temple now, it must be Hua Luoxue.
Just when Xiao Nan was feeling depressed because he couldn't find Hua Luoxue, Han Cheng, the deputy city lord of Bajian City, brought him very bad news.
Another batch of ore shipped from Bajian City to Wuling City has just been robbed by unknown people!
Xiao Nan was immediately furious and said in a cold voice: "Another batch?"
Han Cheng said: "Yes, Hall Master Xue has already gone to investigate."
Xiao Nan sneered and said: "Which bastard did this? You are so brave! Which forces did Bajian City have major disputes with before?"
Han Cheng said: "Ba Jian City has been getting weaker and weaker year by year since the death of Ba Jian Yu City Lord, and there are festivals with the nearby cities Panlong City and Xiaoyue City!"
Xiao Nan was surprised and said: "Everyone has a holiday?"
Han Cheng said: "How can we not celebrate the festival! Xiaoyue City and Panlong City sandwich Bajian City in the middle. They have been continuously encroaching and annexing Bajian City's territory over the years, but Bajian City does not have the strength to fight with them.
I can only swallow my anger again and again!"
Xiao Nan said: "What is the cultivation level of the city chiefs of Xiaoyue City and Panlong City?"
Han Cheng said: "Many years ago, they have reached the realm of Innate Dzogchen. Now many years have passed, whether they have made a breakthrough is unknown! But the masters of the two cities who have reached the realm of Innate Dzogchen are better than Bajian City.
There are so many more, Bajian City is no match at all!"
Xiao Nan frowned and said, "How many?"
Han Cheng said: "At least ten times more! If Bajian City has fifty warriors at the innate Dzogchen realm, each of their two cities has at least five hundred people! If Bajian City fights head-on with them, there is no way
It’s like hitting an egg against a stone!”
Xiao Nan was extremely surprised and said: "Bajian City is so different from them?"
Han Cheng was also a little embarrassed and said helplessly: "Xiaoyue City and Panlong City are very powerful. The results of the autumn hunting held every three years are among the best. They are allocated the most resources and attract many capable and outstanding warriors. In this way,
Come on, the stronger you become, the more resources you grab, the stronger you become! On the contrary, Bajian City is getting weaker and weaker!"
Xiao Nan said with an ugly face: "Bajian City is known as the largest city around the Tianlang Mountains, but it turns out that it is so weak!"
Han Cheng said: "That was when City Lord Yu was still alive! Now Bajian City is just a big fat piece of meat, and it may be swallowed up by the surrounding cities at any time!"
When Xiao Nan heard this, he immediately felt tremendous pressure, and then a fierce look appeared in his eyes. He would never allow such a thing to happen!
He secretly gritted his teeth and said to himself in his heart, he must make Bajian City stronger!
This is his future base, and no one else will be allowed to get involved!
Thinking of this, a cold smile appeared on Xiao Nan's face.
