Chapter 686 Zhao Xuansu’s murderous intention and the situation in Shaoyang City
The girl in white clothes put her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrows.
"Zhao Xuansu, if you dare to block my way, do you want to die?"
Zhao Xuansu was still kneeling on the ground, motionless.
Yu Ling was frustrated and raised the long whip in her hand several times, but in the end she still couldn't bring it down.
Zhao Xuansu is not one of those pawns outside the city who can be whipped at will.
Although the two of them were master and servant in name, in fact they were not. In anger, the girl in white could only snort.
"Zhao Xuansu, are you sick?"
"I told you, I'll go back tonight, what do you want?"
Zhao Xuansu was still kneeling on the ground on one knee and said expressionlessly: "The city lord has been summoned. Please return to the city lord's mansion immediately!"
"Oh, you dead man, with your elm-headed head, I'm really scared of you."
Yu Ling's face looked depressed at the moment, "Uncle Zhao is obviously a resourceful, smart and astute person, why did he end up with such a pimple like you?"
Zhao Xuansu raised his head, and his tone of voice was rarely as stiff as before.
"Miss, you left the city without permission and haven't returned for more than two years. The city lord is also worried about you."
"Please, Miss, please understand the feelings of being a parent and follow me back to the City Lord's Mansion."
At this moment, the maid in green also quietly came to Yu Ling's side.
"Miss, General Zhao is right. We secretly ran out of the city and didn't return for more than two years. The city lord must be worried to death. Otherwise, we should listen to General Zhao and go back first, right?"
"You!"
"You elbow-out guy!"
The girl in white rolled her eyes, stretched out a finger, poked the maid in blue between the eyebrows, and said angrily.
"What benefit has Zhao Xuansu, this wooden lump, given you? Do you obey him so much?"
"You like him so much, why don't you let me make the decision and marry you to him?"
The maid in blue blushed when she heard this.
"Miss, please don't be joking. General Zhao belongs to a prominent family in Shaoyang City. How can this slave be worthy of..."
Zhong Changsheng, who was watching, was really confused.
However, it was a coincidence that just after entering the city, I met the daughter of the city lord who had returned home after being away for more than two years.
At that moment, the girl in white looked at Zhong Changsheng with some helplessness: "Brother Jin, it seems that we can't finish the wine today. I wonder where Brother Jin plans to stay? I can let Shi Jian look for you again in the future... "
Zhong Changsheng smiled and said, "I have a home all over the world and no fixed place. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? See you again if we are destined."
Zhao Xuansu was clearly interested in Yu Ling, and he didn't want to get himself into trouble for nothing.
Although he is not afraid of the Zhao family or the City Lord's Mansion, if things get serious, there is always the possibility of attracting the attention of Emperor Changjun, which is definitely not what he wants.
As for Yu Ling, the eldest lady of the City Lord's Mansion with a sense of justice, he had no intention of trying to get attached to her.
There are six or seven major forces in Shaoyang City, including two famous sects.
Zhong Changsheng's original plan was to hide his cultivation and join one of the sects.
After saying that, he smiled freely, like the bright moon in his arms, turned around and disappeared into the bustling crowd of Shaoyang City.
Yu Ling, who originally planned to have a drink and chat with Zhong Changsheng, immediately glared at Zhao Xuansu angrily.
Her father summoned her just to ask her if she had been bullied in the past two years, and then scolded her for sneaking out of the city. If she had nothing new, how could it be interesting to talk to such wonderful people as Zhong Changsheng?
But all of this was ruined by the young general in front of him.
This made Yu Ling feel unhappy for a while.
"Humph!"
"You guys are deliberately going against me!"
"Samurai Sword, let's go!"
The girl in white took the maid with her and headed towards the city lord's mansion angrily.
After the two of them walked away, Zhao Xuansu stood up.
His eyes suddenly turned cold and he looked towards the street where Zhong Changsheng had just left.
Before he could speak, a general behind him stepped forward and said, "General, do you want me to send someone to kill that kid?"
Zhao Xuansu nodded calmly.
"Do it secretly, don't reveal the whole story."
"Yes."
Zhong Changsheng walked among the bustling crowd.
Entering such a big city for the first time, he suddenly felt like a country bumpkin entering the city.
This Shaoyang City is said to be a city, but in fact, the internal area is almost as vast as the territory of a country in the lower realm.
The location where Zhong Changsheng was currently located was only the outermost area of the outer city, which was already very prosperous.
Along the way, there were very few people whose cultivation was lower than the seventh level of the Golden Core of Martial Arts. Most of them were in the Yuanshen realm. Warriors in the Dharma phase realm could be seen everywhere. Even those in the Immortality realm could occasionally encounter one or two.
Signing in silently all the way, gathering sand into a tower, he actually gained more than a hundred Yuanxiang points.
Not far into the city, you can see numerous shops on the streets. Zhong Changsheng visited a few and spent a few spirit stones to buy a detailed map of Shaoyang City.
On the map, the layout of Shaoyang City and the distribution of many forces are marked.
The City Lord's Mansion is located in the northern highlands of Shaoyang City, and the City Lord Yu Kaiyang is a strong man in the first level of the Human Realm.
A strong person in the Human Realm is logically qualified to rule a large area. However, the hundreds of thousands of large areas under Emperor Changjun's command, except for the tens of thousands in the fringe areas, are ruled by strong people in the early stages of the Human Realm. In addition, the large area close to the central area cannot be controlled at all without the cultivation of the middle and late stages of the Human Realm.
The peripheral areas were relatively barren, and there had been wars with the surrounding areas for two years, making them unstable. In contrast, Xu Kaiyang chose to be the lord of a city in the Xuanhuo Area.
Although their status is one level lower than that of the Lords of the Great Domain, the Xu family has a deep foundation in the Mysterious Fire Territory, so it is still better than traveling to the border areas to become the Lord of the Great Territory.
In addition to the city lord's palace, there are six larger forces in Shaoyang City.
The six major powers are Qian, Zhao, Gu, the four major families in Yu, and the two major sects of Shaoyang Academy and Tianhuo Sect.
Among the many forces, the heads of the Zhao family, the Yu family, the Gu family, and the city lord Xu Kaiyang himself all came from the Shaoyang Academy. Therefore, the Shaoyang Academy itself has a somewhat aloof meaning in Shaoyang City.
This can be seen simply from the fact that this city is named after the Academy.
Except for the city lord Xu Kaiyang and a few people, no one knew about the geometry of the palace master.
The Zhao family was established by outsiders eight thousand years ago and then rose rapidly in Shaoyang City.
As for the Tianhuo Sect, according to the gossip obtained by Zhong Changsheng, it is said that it is a subordinate sect of the Xuanhuo Sect.
The Xuanhuo Sect is the true controller of the Xuanhuo Domain and the sect of the Xuanhuo Emperor.
