As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar immediately.
Everyone could hardly believe their ears and looked at Zuo Xinghe who was calm and composed on the high platform.
The expression on his face was full of astonishment.
Everyone in Longdu knows that Zuo Xinghe's coveting of the position of city lord is not something that happens in a day or two.
This location is like a piece of fat to a hungry wolf to the Zuo family.
Now that a great opportunity is right in front of him, the old man of the Zuo family suddenly changes the subject and is unwilling to accept this honor.
It’s really incredible!
"Mr. Zuo, is there anything unspeakable?"
He looked at Zuo Xinghe sternly.
Li Kuixing said with a smile on his face: "If you have any inconvenience, you can just tell me. All the senior officials of Longdu will gather together and I think they will be able to relieve your worries..."
"What's more, I'm here..."
There was a pause.
Li Kui
!”
Just move out the banner of Emperor Yong'an.
The originally noisy square immediately seemed a lot quieter.
Li Kuixing was clearly hinting at Zuo Xinghe, hoping that he would be obedient and assume the position of Lord of Longdu City.
"Haha, Mr. Li is really thoughtful..."
He smiled coldly.
Zuo Xinghe shook his head and flatly refused: "What a pity, my life is too short to bear this important responsibility!"
Everyone was stunned.
Everyone never expected that Zuo Xinghe would reject Li Kuixing's proposal on the spot.
The atmosphere of the whole ceremony suddenly became awkward and heavy.
"Mr. Zuo, you have to think clearly..."
Stand with your hands behind your back.
Li Kuixing took a step forward and said coldly: "It is His Majesty's intention to let you assume the position of Lord of Longdu City..."
"I advise you not to let down His Majesty's kindness!"
The naked threat is obvious!
Hundreds of dead men in black looked at the elderly Zuo Xinghe in unison, ready to suppress him at the same time if they disagreed.
"Hahahahaha..."
On the high platform.
The old Zuo Xinghe suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly, his white hair flying in the wind, as if he was going crazy.
"Mr. Zuo, why are you laughing?" Li Kuixing's face gradually darkened.
"Haha, I'm laughing at you for underestimating me!"
He shook his big sleeves fiercely.
He pointed to the tray held high by the maid.
Zuo Xinghe roared loudly: "Yes, I have indeed coveted the position of city lord. Even now, I can't wait to unify the military and political power of Longdu immediately and lead my Zuo family to trample all of you under my feet...
..”
In full view of everyone.
Zuo Xinghe was so excited that he exposed his ambition without any hesitation.
All the dignitaries of Dragon City were stunned on the spot, their faces full of astonishment and they even couldn't laugh or cry.
"But--"
A sudden meal.
Zuo Xinghe gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Although I am greedy for power, I also know what shame is..."
He came to Hu Kui's side with his whole body trembling, raised his hand and patted the young man in front of him on the shoulder.
Zuo Xinghe couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "On that day during the battle in Longdu, the Hu family and his son were not afraid of death on the city tower. They took the initiative to go out of the city several times to fight against powerful enemies. I saw this courage and responsibility...
..."
"As the Lord of Longdu City, Hu Haiquan doesn't have to charge into battle. As for Hu Kui, he can hide in the safe urban area and be a dandy who is greedy for life and afraid of death..."
He looked at everyone angrily.
Zuo Xinghe gritted his teeth and continued to roar: "But in the end, how did the father and son choose!?"
As soon as these words came out.
The dignitaries under the high platform were suddenly speechless.
"You idiots keep talking about your qualifications. Open your eyes and see clearly!"
A swish sound~~
The old arm on the young man's shoulder suddenly tugged!
The splendid military uniform on Hu Kui's upper body was immediately torn apart by Zuo Xinghe.
Everyone looked up and took a breath of cold air.
However, Hu Kui's chest, lower abdomen and even his back were covered with countless hideous wounds.
These centipede-like twisting scars are all traces left when defending Dragon City a few days ago.
"Look, don't you want qualifications?"
Inexplicably a little moved.
Zuo Xinghe shouted in a deep voice: "These scars... and the sacrifice of Hu Haiquan, the previous Lord of Longdu City, are this boy's best qualifications!"
On the high platform, Hu Kui's body was covered with scars.
This is Hu Kui's supreme honor and the only definite evidence that he has fought desperately for Longdu!
A young man who worked so hard for the fortress city.
Even if he becomes the city lord, he will certainly not disappoint the expectations of the more than five million citizens of Longdu.
In an instant——
All the dignitaries in Longdu felt ashamed of themselves.
In my heart, I feel a little bit more sympathetic to the fact that Hu Kui succeeded to the position of city lord!
"Enough!"
See this situation.
Li Kuixing immediately stopped him loudly, and then sneered: "Since Zuo is unwilling to take on this important task, I can't force myself to continue..."
There was a slight pause.
Li Kuixing changed the subject and said: "However, Hu Kui is too young after all and is by no means the best candidate to serve as the city lord of Longdu. Besides, His Majesty has ordered that a respected and steady person must be selected as the new city lord of Longdu.
....."
A hazy smile.
Looking at the people around him, Li Kuixing asked: "We have a large number of talents in Longdu. Is it possible that we still can't find such an old man with both ability and political integrity? Do any of you family heads want to share the worries of Longdu?"
Yes, you might as well stand up and recommend yourself, and naturally I and Your Majesty will make the decision for you!"
Everyone looked at each other, no one wanted to wade into this muddy water at all.
"Master Li, this seems a bit excessive..."
An Gufeng, who had been silent for a long time, took a step forward and spoke with his crutch.
"According to the ancestral system of the Daxia Empire, the fortress city has absolutely independent administrative power. Even if His Majesty the Emperor comes forward, it cannot influence the appointment and dismissal of our Longdu City Lord. What you are doing now is suspected of crossing the line!"
"An Gufeng, you are so brave!"
The words just fell.
Li Kuixing, who was under the stage, turned his back on the spot and shouted in a deep voice: "I'm just an official from the Longdu War Preparedness Department. How dare I speak rudely and be disrespectful to His Majesty the Emperor..."
"The Forbidden Palace envoy obeys the order!"
Give a loud shout.
Li Kuixing had a gloomy face and ordered in a low voice: "An Gufeng, the Minister of Longdu's War Preparedness Department, offended the royal family and immediately suppressed him. I will personally interrogate Faluo later. As for Longdu's political power...
"
His sharp eyes swept over everyone present.
Raising the corners of his mouth slightly.
Li Kuixing smiled gloomily and said: "I will take over for the time being and wait for further instructions from the imperial city before making any plans!"
order——
Hundreds of dead men in black responded to the order on the spot and released the armed monsters in unison!
The aura of the biological force field immediately rose into the sky, instantly covering the clear sky above the City Lord's Mansion.
"Son of a bitch... Let me see if any of you dare to touch a hair of Minister An!"
Stretch your arms.
Hu Kui directly summoned the Stone Spirit Monkey, and the golden-haired Violent Monkey waved the colorful iron rod, and immediately faced off with hundreds of dead soldiers!
"Humph, you stupid boy who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth..."
He snorted coldly.
Li Kuixing didn't take Hu Kui seriously at all.
After the Battle of Longdu.
Bei Gong Mu, Hu Haiquan and other masters have fallen one after another, and the vitality of the Longdu War Preparedness Department has been severely damaged.
Nowadays, in the entire Long City, there are very few people who can make him, Li Kuixing, afraid.
Otherwise, he would not have chosen this time to seize power!
Rumble~~~
Accompanied by a dull roar.
A tall black figure suddenly shot up from behind Li Kuixing!
The sturdy humanoid monster was extremely ugly, with its black skin covered with cancer-like acne.
Behind the freak is a huge black compass.
The two sharp horns were raised toward the sky, like two sharp scimitars, soaring straight into the sky.
"Super... super freak?!" An Gufeng froze on the spot.
The aura of terror suddenly filled the air, making everyone present involuntarily feel frightened.
"That's right..."
Still standing there with his hands behind his back.
Li Kuixing said confidently: "Today in Longdu, no one can suppress me. I advise you to be obedient and it is best not to force me to take action!"
Facing the "super level" armed monster, everyone in Longdu was stunned for an instant.
This level of power is simply not something that ordinary night watchmen can contend with!
"Bah..."
Just when everyone was in despair.
A bursting sound suddenly sounded from the sky!
"Who said no one can suppress you even if you are a dragon!?"
Bang--
The slender wooden doll crashed to the ground.
Three heads and six arms stretched out on the spot, and one of the arms seemed to be holding a huge wooden long knife!
