Chapter 596: One's own power stirs up the whole city
Chapter 596: One's own power stirs up the whole city
Chen Youqian didn't know that he had fallen into someone else's scheme.
In other words, he simply didn't believe that anyone dared to plot against him.
In the entire border town, even the city lord's palace must show courtesy to the Chen family, let alone others.
After coming out of Fireworks Alley, Chen Youqian went straight to Wanheng Auction House.
Wanheng Auction House is the property of the Chen family, named Wanheng, which means eternity.
Although it has not lasted for thousands of years, it has lasted for hundreds of years.
It is the largest auction house in the border town.
"Young master, why are you here?"
Seeing Chen Youqian, the owner of the auction house felt a headache.
Every time he came, Chen Youqian would give him problems, but Chen Youqian was the only direct descendant of the Chen family.
If nothing else happens, the Chen family will be his in the future.
How dare you offend the shopkeeper.
Chen Youqian said arrogantly.
"I heard that the auction house has collected a new treasure map, show it to me."
"This... is against the rules."
The shopkeeper looked troubled.
When people put things in their auction house, it is a sign of trust in them.
In the past, Chen Youqian relied on his status to take pictures of those things in private, but the treasure map was different.
Once this thing is seen by others, it is of no use.
"rule?"
"My words are the rules!"
Chen Youqian sneered. Are you tired of following the rules in front of him?
Seeing the coldness in Chen Youqian's eyes, the shopkeeper sighed, hoping that this matter would not spread.
The matter of Xuantian Gong fermented for three whole days.
three days later.
Liu Erzhu stood respectfully in front of Ling Tian and reported the situation to him.
"Now the warriors in the entire border town are talking about Xuantian Kung."
"Including the Chen family, everyone has received some information about Xuantian Kung."
Now, Liu Erzhu was completely convinced by Ling Tian.
To single-handedly stir up the entire border town, this is the No. 1 in history.
Ling Tian couldn't tell how happy he was, so he asked.
"What's going on with the major families?"
"not yet."
"Not even the Chen family?"
"No."
"It's quite calm."
Hearing this, Ling Tian couldn't help but snort coldly.
I thought that with Chen Youqian's temperament, he would immediately set off to get the treasure map.
Unexpectedly, it has been three days and there is still no movement.
Of course, that treasure map is only unique on the surface.
In private, he also let people spread many treasure maps.
The power of Xuantian Kung is widely publicized, so there is no need to worry about being betrayed.
The warrior who obtained the treasure map hid it before it was too late, so how could he share it with others?
Ling Tian's purpose was to stir up this muddy water and take the opportunity to kill Chen Youqian.
This is just one of them.
His other goal is Gong Xi Lai.
Sooner or later, Gong Xi Lai will be a hidden danger. If it can be solved early, it cannot be left for later.
The emergence of Xuan Tian Gong not only attracted great attention from major families, but also the city lord's palace did not dare to underestimate it.
"Steward Wu, what do you think about this matter?"
The city lord's wife looked at the crude treasure map in her hand and asked.
Butler Wu wanted to say that I should just stand and watch, but he was afraid that such a wisecrack would offend the city lord's wife, so he could only answer honestly.
"This old servant has been in the border town for more than 20 years and has never heard of such a domineering technique as Xuantian Gong."
"If it is true, how come no one talks about it?"
"What's more, this treasure map was obviously made by someone. It's not old-fashioned. Even in many places, it's no different from now."
"In my opinion, nine times out of ten it's fake."
The city lord's wife tapped the table, thoughtfully.
"So, it might be true?"
"This...is possible."
Butler Wu did not dare to completely deny it.
The main reason is that you can't be sure of the intentions of the person behind it.
What benefit does the other party bring to him by throwing such a mystery?
The city lord's wife thought for a moment and made a decision.
"In that case, let Yan'er lead the team to investigate."
"Also, ask Ling Tian to accompany you."
Ling Tian?
Butler Wu was startled.
"Madam, why do you need to take him with you?"
Ling Tian's level can only be said to be average, and in the entire border town, it is neither above nor below.
Butler Wu hesitated again and again, but couldn't help but speak.
"Madam, with all due respect, do you think too highly of this Ling Tian?"
"Why, do you think I've become easier to talk to in recent years and you dare to ask about me?"
The beautiful eyes of the city lord's wife flashed, and murderous intent suddenly appeared.
A chill ran down his back, and Butler Wu's face was as pale as paper, dripping with cold sweat.
"Don't dare."
"If you don't dare, just do your thing and don't ask about the rest."
With a cold snort, the murderous intention suddenly disappeared.
Butler Wu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he had just escaped from hell.
After dismissing Butler Wu, the city lord's wife went to see the city lord.
The city lord was lying on the ground, looking at the city lord's wife and giggling.
The city lord's wife sat down by herself, poured a cup of tea, and said lightly.
"You haven't been honest lately. Are you still unwilling to give in? Have you come up with any other ideas and plan to give it a try?"
"Hey hey hey..."
"Steward Wu found a jade pendant in the library. Someone from the Yun family will contact you."
Not a question, but a statement.
The city lord was stunned for a moment, and soon started to giggle again.
"Hey hey hey..."
The city lord's wife suddenly grabbed the city lord by his collar and brought her closer.
Looking at his stupid face, he said word by word.
"Don't think I don't know, you have one hour of waking time every day."
"I'll tell you one last time, you'd better leave it alone when it comes to the Yun family."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for not remembering old love!"
Probably angry at the city lord's attitude, the city lord's wife threw him away with a look of disgust and turned around to leave.
Some people were aware of what happened back then, and some were not.
Everyone in the know, including Butler Wu, believed that she usurped the throne because the city wanted to kill her and Yun Feiyan.
Actually, that's just an excuse.
What is involved behind it is a secret known to very few people.
Ling Tian was not surprised that he was asked to accompany him. It would be abnormal if the City Lord's Mansion really didn't react at all.
To his surprise, Yun Feiyan was asked to lead the team.
I don’t know what the city lord thinks.
That night.
He met the city lord.
Of course, he still didn't know that the crazy old man in front of him was the city lord.
The crazy old man held his hand with an eager expression.
"Take me away!"
"As long as you can help me leave the City Lord's Mansion, I will promise you glory and wealth!"
Not to mention the glory and wealth, Ling Tian found this crazy old man quite interesting.
Putting aside whether the other party was really crazy or not, just escaping from the city lord's mansion was enough to arouse his interest.
He leaned on the recliner, his attitude pretending to be cold.
"I stay in the City Lord's Mansion and enjoy the same glory and wealth. Why should I take the risk and take you away?"
"What do you know? This city lord's mansion is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. You..."
Before the city lord finished speaking, his eyes suddenly became dull.
Within a moment, Butler Wu rushed over with people.
The city lord was tied up without saying a word.
"I'm sorry, Master Ling, for frightening you."
Having said that, Butler Wu's eyes were filled with scrutiny.
