Chapter 1958 It seems like an old friend is coming!
Although he really wanted to be the city lord, under the control of reason, he still raised this question to Zhang Yifeng.
Hearing Sima Ji's words, Zhang Yifeng frowned and said: "Don't forget, I am the king's special envoy. I can take orders in times of crisis. Now that the city lord is dead, it is understandable for me to appoint you as the city lord on behalf of your majesty. As for your majesty?
Bian, don't worry, he doesn't have time to care about this now."
Zhang Yifeng knew that if Luo Tianshu found out that the Twenty-Two Prince was no longer in Yong'an City, he would definitely go to the Royal City.
Moreover, there is a ninth-level formation master beside him. Luo Tianshu and that ninth-level formation master alone are enough for Duguyan to deal with. How can he have the energy to take care of Yong'an City's affairs.
"But……"
Sima Ji was still a little hesitant. He was about to speak, but was instantly interrupted by Zhang Yifeng.
"No, if you don't want to be the city lord, then I will have to kill you and let someone else do it. Whoever becomes the city lord will have no impact on me."
Seeing the murderous intent in Zhang Yifeng's eyes, Sima Ji felt a chill in his heart and said quickly: "Sir, I will do it, I will do it."
"Don't worry too much. As long as you do your job well and know who you are working for, my foster father Xu Nantian and Qiu Hou will be your solid backing."
At this point, Zhang Yifeng's voice suddenly turned cold and he said: "But if you do something you shouldn't do, they will be the first to unscrew your head."
While Sima Ji felt awe-inspiring, he was also filled with ecstasy.
He didn't think so much because of the worries in his heart just now. When he heard Zhang Yifeng's words, he understood instantly.
If he were to be the city lord, he would definitely be more stable than Zhou Tianyuan, because as Zhang Yifeng said, as long as he is loyal enough, he will have the support of the two major princes of the kingdom at the same time.
If he can get the support of Marquis Xu and Marquis Qiu, his status in the Dali Kingdom will be as stable as Mount Tai unless His Majesty wants to touch him.
After understanding this, Sima Ji no longer struggled, but calmly accepted being the city lord. At the same time, he also worked harder to show his loyalty to Zhang Yifeng.
Zhang Yifeng waved his hand, he was not interested at all in Sima Ji's attentiveness.
The main reason why he did this was for Xu Nantian.
With the International Alchemy Conference approaching, he will leave here soon. Xu Nantian has just resumed his position and his position is not yet stable. He asked Sima Ji to be the city lord of Yong'an City in order to help Xu Nantian.
In this way, even if he leaves Tianzhou in the future, no one in the Dali Kingdom will dare to cause trouble to Xu Nantian.
"By the way, this is a message slip. Keep it for now. If someone claiming to be from Earth comes to see me in the future, please notify me in time."
With that said, Zhang Yifeng handed a jade slip to Sima Ji. Hearing Zhang Yifeng's words, Sima Ji was stunned for a moment. Instead of picking up the jade slip, he asked: "Sir, did you just say, Earth?"
Zhang Yifeng nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Sima Ji took a deep breath and said: "Sir, three months ago, someone came to Yong'an City. At that time, he wanted to see the city lord, but the city lord thought he was provoking trouble and did not see him. At that time, he was in the city lord
There was a disturbance in front of the mansion, and the city lord sent someone to arrest him. The man claimed to be from the earth."
boom!
Hearing Sima Ji's words, Zhang Yifeng's eyes shot out a terrifying light. He rushed to Sima Ji's side, grabbed Sima Ji's arms tightly with both hands, and asked: "Where are the others? Take them with you quickly."
I’ll go see him!”
At this moment, his heart was filled with ecstasy.
Since he came to Lingyue Continent, he has been looking for the whereabouts of his confidante and brothers, but except for finding Ji Dali, there is no news about the others. Now that he got this news from Sima Ji, he couldn't help but feel sad
He was overjoyed.
In Lingyue Continent, except for a few monks who have been to Lingyue Continent, they are the only ones who know about this place on earth.
Moreover, Zhang Yifeng had a vague intuition that the person Sima Ji mentioned was probably one of the people he was looking for.
"No matter who it is, I will find him!" Zhang Yifeng thought firmly in his heart.
Sima Ji did not expect Zhang Yifeng to have such a big reaction. He was surprised and his face turned pale at the same time.
"Sir, that person is no longer here." Sima Ji said with difficulty.
Not anymore!
boom!
After hearing Sima Ji's words, Zhang Yifeng's expression changed drastically, and an endless anger rose from the bottom of his heart.
"Tell me, who killed him?"
He cares very much about the old people on Earth, whether they are his confidante or his brothers, and he will never allow anything to happen to them.
However, he also knows that in the crisis-ridden Lingyue Continent, it is not an ordinary difficulty for them to survive. Now he just wants to know who the murderer is and let him kill the other person to avenge the death of his old man.
Hearing Zhang Yifeng's words, Sima Ji was stunned for a moment, and then he instantly understood. It turned out that Zhang Yifeng had misunderstood.
"Sir, you have misunderstood. That man is not dead."
Zhang Yifeng looked cold and said: "Not dead? What happened? Didn't you say he is gone?"
Sima Ji smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, when I say he is no longer here, I mean that he is no longer in Yong'an City. He escaped as early as three months ago."
Escaped?
Hearing Sima Ji's words, Zhang Yifeng felt inexplicably relaxed. It turned out to be a misunderstanding, as long as the person was not dead.
"Tell me the detailed story in detail."
Sima Ji hesitated for a moment and said: "Sir, if you want to know more about this matter, there is a person who knows the details better than me. I know all this from his mouth."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yifeng frowned and asked, "Who is it?"
"Little dragon."
Sima Long?
Hearing Sima Ji's words, Zhang Yifeng was a little surprised, but then he said in a deep voice: "Let's go, take me to see Sima Long."
In the Counselor's Mansion, Sima Long was lying in bed resting. Although he had taken medicine, his injuries were so severe that he still could not regain the strength to move.
hiss!
Turning over, perhaps because the wound was involved, Sima Long let out a cry of pain.
His cry of pain alerted the servants outside the house.
An old servant came in, looked at Sima Long who was lying on the bed and cried out in pain, and asked with concern: "Master, how are you, are you okay?"
"fine."
Sima Long breathed heavily, and then asked: "By the way, Uncle Fu, how is the lady?"
