City Lord Ji Jiang himself didn’t even know that he would have such a back-up plan. In fact, he never thought of this situation at all.
If he is really brainwashed and controlled by the Shell organization, Lord Ji Jiang may really be under the control of others.
However, with the help of allies like Zhang Yifeng, City Lord Ji Jiang believed that even if he was really brainwashed, Zhang Yifeng would have a way to save him.
"I'll go to the City Lord's Mansion to check the situation. Brother Du, please take Brother Xi to the shelter and wait for a while."
As the saying goes, there are many eyes, so it is definitely safer for Zhang Yifeng to return to the City Lord's Mansion alone than if the three of them go back together.
"good."
City Lord Ji Jiang decisively agreed and walked towards the shelter with Jin Fengxi.
Watching the two City Lord Ji Jiang leave, Zhang Yifeng turned around and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Along the way, many monks and people were running away, apparently frightened by the battle between the City Lord's Mansion and the Shell Organization.
We walked all the way back to the city lord's palace, and saw many corpses of shell monks scattered in the square in front of the city lord's palace.
At the same time, a huge light screen was also lit in the square, and the scene of the young man stabbing City Lord Ji Jiang in the back was continuously played.
This light curtain was made by the Shell Organization using a secret method. For a while, the people in the City Lord's Mansion were unable to do anything about it.
I saw the civil and military officials standing in front of the city lord's palace at this moment, looking at the light curtain in the air with a gloomy expression.
"It seems that what the Shell organization said this time is accurate. That bastard has disappeared without a trace. The disappearance of the old city lord is probably related to him."
"Damn it, the old city lord treated him well, and this white-eyed wolf actually dared to secretly kill the old city lord.
He even wants to confuse us and ask us to elect him as the new city lord of Jijiang City. What a great city!"
"In addition, in the backyard of the city lord's mansion, the existence of evil formations was detected. I am afraid it is also related to the white-eyed wolf."
The civil and military officials each talked about their findings. Now that the old city lord is missing, the adopted son who was supposed to take over as the city lord is also one of the real culprits who murdered the old city lord.
The current situation has made it even more difficult for the already overwhelmed officials of the City Lord's Mansion.
Zhang Yifeng secretly observed the movements of the civil and military officials. Seeing that these people all looked distressed, Zhang Yifeng shook his head slightly in his heart.
As expected, these people are all in vain, and they are just so busy when they encounter the slightest trouble.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yifeng looked around and after confirming that no one was watching him secretly, he used the transformation technique to change his body into the appearance of a lone wolf.
Walking out of the alley, Zhang Yifeng walked towards the city lord's mansion.
In the empty square, a figure like Zhang Yifeng suddenly appeared, which was extremely eye-catching.
"Who is coming!"
A military general noticed Zhang Yifeng first. Seeing Zhang Yifeng walking all the way to the city lord's palace, he walked out of the crowd and stood in front of Zhang Yifeng.
"Don't be anxious, I have some good news for you."
Zhang Yifeng smiled slightly and raised his hand to signal the general not to rush into action.
Seeing Zhang Yifeng's confident look, the general frowned slightly and put down the hand he had just raised.
Having just fought a battle with the monks from the Shell organization, it was difficult for the generals not to think that Zhang Yifeng was a monk sent by the Shell organization.
"If there is any important matter, please explain it as soon as possible. The city lord's mansion has suffered heavy damage now, and we still need to find the old city lord as soon as possible."
A civil servant walked out of the crowd, raised his hand to warn everyone behind him to be careful, walked up to Zhang Yifeng and asked.
"Haha, this good news is related to the long-lost old city lord."
Zhang Yifeng looked mysterious and smiled at the civil servant in front of him.
"What?!"
As soon as Zhang Yifeng said this, all the civil and military officials present let out a sound of surprise.
"Your Majesty, please don't joke with us about this matter!"
The general who first noticed Zhang Yifeng frowned and said, his eyes fixed on Zhang Yifeng.
"If I wasn't absolutely sure, how could I dare to come here and tell you about this?"
Zhang Yifeng smiled slightly and immediately began to tell the information he had just compiled.
"Some time ago, I was in a restaurant and overheard a drunken beggar saying that he was in a ruined temple in the south of the city and heard the truth about the disappearance of the old city lord. In order to find out whether the situation was true, I went to the ruined temple in the south of the city alone.
, and finally found an entrance to the underground in the ruined temple."
"However, I assumed there must be guards there, so I didn't rush to alert the enemy. No matter what, the underground secret room must be related to the missing old city lord."
Zhang Yifeng said with a calm face, his face was not red and his heart was not beating during the whole process, as if he was talking about something that really happened.
"Huh? The ruined temple in the south of the city..."
A military attache listened to what Zhang Yifeng said, and his eyes gradually lit up.
"When the Lord of the City took people away earlier, he said that he was going to the south of the city to search for traces of someone. I was not clear about the scene displayed in the light curtain in the sky just now, but after what this fellow Taoist said, it seems that it is exactly where
In a ruined temple in the south of the city."
A civil servant said with a thoughtful expression on his face. Following his words, everyone in the City Lord's Mansion looked up at the light curtain in the sky.
I saw that the decoration inside seemed to match that of a ruined temple in the south of the city.
"Is the city lord imprisoned here?"
"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and rescue the old city lord."
At this time, the difference between civilian officials and military generals was revealed. The civilian officials all looked thoughtful and vigilant.
It's much easier for the generals, who are eager to rush over and rescue the old city lord.
"Everyone, please be patient. You might as well listen to this fellow Taoist's opinion first."
A civil servant raised his hand to signal that everyone should not be anxious, and then turned to Zhang Yifeng and asked.
Seeing that the civil servant reacted so quickly, Zhang Yifeng nodded and smiled slightly.
"Fellow Taoist, I know very well that there are many dangers in this ruined temple. If I rush over like this, I'm afraid I will only alert the snake. You might as well join me tonight to reduce the other party's vigilance. However, this operation is still as safe as possible.
Don’t bring many people, just two or three people with me.”
After Zhang Yifeng said this, everyone in the City Lord's Mansion fell into silence. They acted together with Zhang Yifeng, which made them feel a bit uneasy.
After all, Zhang Yifeng is an outsider after all. Even though he has brought information that may be related to the old city lord, they cannot completely trust Zhang Yifeng.
If Zhang Yifeng betrays the enemy, then those who follow him to the ruined temple will be in trouble.
While everyone was hesitating, a military general walked out and said to Zhang Yifeng solemnly.
"The old city lord is kind to me. No matter what dangers there are in this trip, as long as it has something to do with the old city lord, I will definitely go!"
