Chapter Index

    The arrival of such a person in person was truly worthy of Shouzhu leading a group of deputy city lords to greet him personally. In terms of seniority, even Shouzhu was half a dwarf.

    After a few words of greeting, Shouzhu invited Changming into the city and held a banquet in his honor.

    During the banquet, this person was chatting and laughing with Shouzhu, and he seemed to have a really good relationship with him. Changsheng was an easy-going person, and he had many interactions with a group of deputy city lords, which made people like him more.

    But what puzzled Jing Lei was that after the banquet, Changsheng said goodbye and left.

    It seemed that he was really just passing by and came over to chat with Shouzhu.

    But Jing Lei knew that a person like Chang Ming could not be so idle. He must have other purposes for his trip. Perhaps he had already negotiated with his city lord during the banquet, but others didn’t know it.

    He didn’t ask any more questions and just did his job.

    The only thing that puzzled him was that after Changsheng left, Shouzhu’s expression seemed a little hesitant, as if he had encountered something difficult.

    Jing Lei was about to return to his seat when he heard Shouzhu say hello: “Jing Lei!”

    Jing Lei hurriedly stepped forward: “Sir.”

    Shouzhu looked at him quietly with his eyes, and then took out a storage ring: “Go to Guhong City and give this to Duan Guhong.”

    Guhong City, like Shouzhu City, is a Zhou-level Hedao City, located in another adjacent war zone.

    Its city lord, Duan Guhong, is also a powerful person. Because the war zones controlled by each other are adjacent, they have always communicated with each other. Shouzhu and Duan Guhong have a good relationship in private.

    Jing Lei didn’t know what was in this storage ring, but since he, the deputy city lord, had to go there in person, it must be of great importance.

    “Yes!” Jinglei took the storage ring and put it away carefully. With his strength, the trip back and forth would not take more than a month. He had assigned a new task to Yuanxi City, so he didn’t want to delay his next contact with Yuanxi City, and he didn’t have to worry about getting into trouble.

    “Let’s go.” Shouzhu waved his hand.

    Jing Lei took the order and quickly rushed out of Shou Zhu City, heading towards the direction where Gu Hong City was sitting.

    Although the snowfield was in chaos and he was alone, he was not worried about his own safety. As the deputy city lord of the Zhou-level Hedao City, his own strength was comparable to that of a heaven-level city lord with the increase of Hedao City. With such strength, as long as he was not surrounded by a large number of enemies, his life would not be in danger.

    I was somewhat curious in my heart. Is there any relationship between Changshou and his city lord who asked me to visit Guhong City?

    He was curious, but he never thought of checking what was in the storage ring.

    After traveling for half a day, Jing Lei suddenly stopped and looked towards a floating land with a cold expression: “You are so sneaky and disgraceful, get out!”

    As he finished speaking, a figure actually walked out from that direction. He laughed and said, “Fellow Daoist Jinglei has such a bad temper. I’m just resting here, but is it bothering you?”

    Looking at the figure he had just seen half a day ago, the coldness and murderous intent on his face turned into astonishment: “Fellow Taoist Chang… Changshou?”

    He just felt something in his heart and realized that there was an ambush here. He thought that the other party was going to attack him, so he was so rude in his words. Moreover, his status also allowed him to be rude to others.

    Who would have thought that the person walking out from behind the floating land was Changsheng, who had just left Shouzhu City not long ago.

    Shouzhu wants to kill me!

    This was the first thought that popped into Jing Lei’s mind.

    He didn’t think it was a coincidence that he met Changsheng here. The snowfield was so big that there was no reason for him to take the same route as Changsheng.

    Changsheng couldn’t really rest here. If he wanted to rest, he would never leave Shouzhu City before.

    So he immediately realized that Changsheng was waiting for him here specifically. He was entrusted by Shouzhu to block here and intercept him.

    But the next moment he rejected this idea, because he had worked hard under Shouzhu for so many years, and even if he didn’t have much credit, he still had hard work. Shouzhu couldn’t do this and cut off his own arm. If the news was leaked, who would work for him in the future?

    But if Shouzhu hadn’t wanted to kill him, why would Changsheng be here?

    I don’t know how many thoughts went through my mind at this moment. Jinglei hurriedly made a panic gesture, cupped his fists and said: “It turns out to be fellow Taoist Changshou. I thought Xiaoxiao was ambushing me here and trying to sneak attack me. It’s really rude.”

    “I don’t blame those who don’t know.” Changming chuckled, “Fellow Taoist is walking alone, so it’s a good thing to be vigilant. If I were in the situation just now, I would have taken action directly, but fellow Taoist is good-tempered.”

    Jing Lei Xin said that my temper has not been very good recently, I just don’t dare to have it in front of you.

    He cupped his hands and said, “Fellow Taoist, please continue to rest. I won’t disturb you. I have official business, so I’ll go ahead.”

    He didn’t know why Changsheng was waiting for him here, but he instinctively felt that it would be of no benefit to have more contact with Changsheng, because if he could really get what he said on the surface, Changsheng could find him in Shouzhu City instead of sneaking around like this.

    Anyone who tries to be secretive will never do any good.

    How could he not know this truth despite having lived for who knows how many years?

    So he just wants to leave now, get out of here as quickly as possible.

    “Fellow Taoist, please!” Changsheng smiled slightly without any intention of stopping him.

    His appearance made Jinglei confused, wondering whether he was overthinking and judging a gentleman’s heart with a villain’s heart?

    As soon as his figure moved, his Tao force urged him to leave.

    “Oh, by the way…” Just when he was about to leave, Changshou suddenly spoke again.

    The bad feeling in Jinglei’s heart became stronger and stronger, but he couldn’t leave again.

    “Fellow Dao Jinglei, as the deputy city lord who is stationed in the capital city in the war zone, must be very well-informed. I would like to ask you about the whereabouts of a Hedao city. Is it convenient?” Changsheng said.

    “Which Hedao City?” Jing Lei asked.

    “Hmm… It seems to be called Yuan Xicheng?” Changshou said in an uncertain tone.

    Jing Lei’s heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm on the surface and looked like he was thinking: “Yuanxi City? I haven’t heard of it, and fellow Taoists also know that the number of Hedao cities gathering in the snowfield is extremely large, and these Hedao cities are wandering around in the snowfield, and they are not necessarily limited to a certain war zone. The Hedao city that fellow Taoist is looking for may be in another war zone?”

    I cursed in my heart, Shouzhu betrayed me!

    If Chang Ming wants to inquire about Yuanxi City, there is no need to block here and look for him, the deputy city lord. He can go to Shouzhu to inquire. The city lord has much more comprehensive information than he does.

    But he just came to ask himself.

    This situation was already obvious. Changsheng must have asked Shouzhu about this at the banquet before, but Shouzhu blamed it on himself, which is why this happened.

    He didn’t know the specific details of Yuan Xi’s identity. He only learned it from Shouzhu, which even Shouzhu couldn’t afford to offend.

    “No, no, no.” Changsheng raised a finger and shook it, “The information I received is that I am pretty sure that Yuanxi City is located in this war zone and is in close contact with fellow Taoists.”

    Just now, I wasn’t even sure about the name of Yuanxi City, but now I can even be sure about this kind of thing.

    Jing Lei frowned and remained silent.

    Yuan Xi and Shouzhu couldn’t afford to offend him, and he couldn’t even afford to offend them.

    How dare you talk nonsense? Your own city lord is not a human being. He thinks the potato is too hot to touch, so he throws it to you.

    Changshou’s tone was leisurely: “Looking at fellow Taoist’s expression, it seems that he knows something inside?”

    Jing Lei sighed and said with a wry smile: “Fellow Taoist Changshou wrongly blamed me. Although I heard something from the city lord, it was hazy and not true.”

    Changming nodded slightly: “Shouzhu’s tone is indeed tight. He should have his own concerns if he doesn’t tell you clearly… Then fellow Taoist should know where I come from.”

    “Of course I know!” Jing Lei nodded. The person in front of him did not become a wandering monk when he gave up his own Eternal City Hedao City. Instead, he joined a certain Hedao City and was willing to live under others. It was a legend in the inner world.

    So he naturally knows the current background of Changsheng.

    “The city owner of Hedao City and I have the same origin!” Changming continued.

    “Ah?” Jing Lei was surprised.

    He had heard Chang Ming inquire about Yuan Xi City before, and he thought Chang Ming had some grudge against Yuan Xi, so he wanted to use his own information to his disadvantage.

    Of course he didn’t dare to say anything casually. If Yuan Xi found out afterwards that the news was leaked from his side, he would not be able to live with it.

    But if these two people came from the same Hedao City, then there would be no such thing.

    “What does Taoist friend Xun Yuan Xicheng mean…” Jing Lei looked at Chang Ming in confusion.

    Changming sighed: “Shouzhu probably didn’t tell you who the Lord of Hedao City is, right?”

    “Indeed not.”

    “She is our city lord’s wife!”

    Jing Lei’s mouth was open so wide that he could almost stuff an egg into it.

    He knew that Yuan Xi had a big background, but he didn’t expect it to be so big!

    The wives of the top ten Hedao city lords!What a concept.

    Nowadays, among the ten major Hedao cities in the inner world, there are only three or four who have publicly announced that they have Taoist companions. Looking at the entire inner world, these three or four may not be as good as the top ten city lords in terms of strength, but they are not inferior in terms of status. To a certain extent, these few represent the top ten city lords in the outside world.

    For a moment, he broke out in a cold sweat. He was secretly glad that he showed his good intentions in time. Otherwise, if Na Yuan Xi came to visit him, Shouzhu would not even be able to protect him.

    At the same time, I couldn’t laugh or cry at the same time.

    If the wives of the top ten city lords are not enjoying the wealth and power in their own Hedao City, why are they running out?Moreover, the information he obtained showed that although Yuanxi City was of a high level, reaching Hong level, Yuanxi did not have many experts under his command, and there seemed to be less than twenty people in the entire city.

    Is this really a guard of honor for the wife of a certain top ten city lord?

    “My lord and my wife had a little conflict before, so my wife ran away from home.” Changming spoke slowly.

    The face of thunder is as color as earth…

    Is this the message I can hear?

    Can you still live after hearing this?

    “My lord, I thought that Madam just had a little temper and would go back after hanging out for a while, because this kind of thing has happened before…”

    Thunder shakes like chaff.

    Fellow Taoist, please stop talking, I don’t want to hear it!(End of chapter)
