She looked at Yan Wuzhan and knew that she could not discuss this matter anymore. Yan Wuzhan would not let her do such a dangerous thing, so she stopped arguing.
"Then you have to be careful!"
"Mm, wait for this king to come pick you up!"
Heaven's End City
The city was actually quite large, it was just that the residents lived in a relatively scattered area, so there was no need to build city walls. The city surrounded the mountains on three sides, and with its unique terrain, it was able to construct a wall connecting the mountains at the border of the three mountains. There was a total of three big city gates, one more than Shanyang City, and the mountains here were treated as unreachable city walls.
City Lord's Mansion
Today, the hall was filled with all the officials of this remote organization, looking at their dressing, they did not seem to be affected at all, as if the fact that their Heaven's End City were not affected by the disaster had nothing to do with them. At this moment, everyone was discussing about Yan Wuzhan's arrival, the news spread very quickly.
Wu Ren sat high up in the seat of honor. He had already known that Yan Wuzhan was coming a month ago because he had detained the spy that Yan Wuzhan sent. He had not expected that Yan Wuzhan would arrive so soon.
"I wonder what everyone is thinking about this matter?"
Actually, even others didn't know what to do. Yan Wuzhan's story had been spread around for many years, and no matter how remote Heaven's End City one used to be, one would still hear about it.
"We will listen to whatever the mayor says!"
He could be considered the largest official here, moreover, he was the personal officer of the previous emperor. Other than the City Lord Wu Ren, he had the highest position in the Heaven's End City.
Unfortunately, although his position was high, he had no real power. He did not know who Yan Wuzhan was, nor did he know what Yan Wuzhan looked like.
In this hall, most of the officials were thinking the same thing. Since King Fan was about to take over, their days of happiness would come to an end. They might as well just follow Wu Ren and live an easy life.
Back then, among the people personally conferred the title of Emperor, other than him, it was also the City Lord, Wu Ren. There was also a person called Cheng Shouyi who was conferred with the title 'General', who was in charge of the military.
Unfortunately, he was already killed by Wu Ren. He didn't want to be in the same boat with Wu Ren, so the consequences could be imagined. Even if he died, no one would come out to avenge him.
Meng Chuanzheng was the first to express his support for Wu Ren. No one felt it was strange, nor was they suspicious of him, because his position was already empty. How could anyone be interested in the words of the people who saw Wu Ren's expression.
This was his life saving method as well. Otherwise, he would have been killed long ago if he wasn't able to live past today.
"In my opinion, we won't acknowledge him even if he comes. He's too high up in the sky, and he'll still appear in the court. Tell us that everything is fine, and the emperor gave the Heaven's End to Battle King."
Wu Wentong was Wu Ren's son. Of course, his own son was Wu Ren's son. And this son did not disappoint him. He was smart and quick-witted, and had never done anything to lose money.
Just by listening to his analysis, one could tell that he was not a simple person.
Let's just wait and see if he just wants to come and then leave. After all, he is still young and this place is not as prosperous as the capital, so it is not certain that he will want to leave after a few days. If he wants to stay for a long period of time, we have plenty of ways to get him to leave, so what does everyone think?
Wu Ren was not as direct as his son Wu Wentong. The people of the royal family still had to be careful, if something really happened to Yan Wuzhan here, word would spread and the emperor would send troops to surround them with Heaven's End City for the sake of the royal family's face.
"Sir Wu is right. It's not a good time to turn hostile right now!"
If we don't seal up the mine first, he won't be able to find any evidence if we don't admit to it even if we die. It must be known that these mountain torrents have destroyed all the mountains on the way.
The Great Sima was also a wise man. If Yan Wuzhan came here to find their fault, he would more or less take their advice in order to obtain power. He couldn't completely trust the common people's words.
"Great Sima is right. Then we will do it this way. If the mine is not sealed, we can seal it after Battle King's arrival. There are thousands of taels of gold every day, isn't it a pity to seal it?"
The mansion was intensely discussing how to deal with Yan Wuzhan, but no one knew that the person they were talking to was sitting on the roof and eavesdropping.
Yan Wuzhan's lightning speed was very fast. Even if he rode fast horses, it would still take him three days. His lightning speed only took him one day to reach there. The few dark guards that followed him were still behind.
In order to not alarm the people in the Heaven's End City, he let the horse go outside the city. Lightning was extremely intelligent and would look for food for itself, so it was not afraid of it losing itself.
Yan Wuzhan's appearance was soundless and no one within the city had seen his figure, so Heaven's End City did not know that their master had already come.2
Everyone could tell that the emperor, Yan Yihan, didn't want to bother with him. He wanted to let him leave on his own after exiling him. Fortunately, in these years, he didn't rely on anyone to achieve outstanding results and created his own reputation and influence.
These people wanted to harm him, hmph!
After these people had all said their goodbyes, Yan Wuzhan thought for a moment and unexpectedly caught up with Meng Chuanzheng. He wanted to control Wu Ren first, but then he decided to ask this old official from the previous dynasty how much he knew about the Crown Prince back then, so he followed Meng Chuanzheng back to the Meng Family.
After Meng Chuanzheng returned home, he hurriedly ran towards the backyard with Yan Wuzhan secretly following him. Of course, he used the lightness arts to fly on the roof.
The Meng Residence was not that big. It was just a normal three-room courtyard. Compared to Wu Ren's luxurious palace, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Yan Wuzhan easily landed on the roof that Meng Chuanzheng entered, and wanted to find an opportunity to ask him about what happened that year.
The Meng Residence was very quiet. Not even a servant was present?
This doesn't look like an official's family at all. Yan Wuzhan was suspicious, so he gently lifted the tile on the roof and looked down.
After he entered the room, he moved the bookcase against the wall to the side. There was a square hole in the wall behind the bookshelf, he took out a book from the hole and hugged it tightly, as if he was holding the most important thing.
After a long time, he finally walked out of this room and headed for another.
What the hell is he doing?
Yan Wuzhan thought, could this old man have a secret?
"Brother Cheng, do you know that the person who came to court today is Yan Wuzhan, the descendant of the former Crown Prince?"
Now that Battle King is here, Wu Zhe has a new scheme, and I have to go and report it to him. This is the evidence of Wu Zhe, whom I have been hiding for many years, so you have to protect him well. If I don't come back now, you have a chance to lure Battle King here, and he will see it. "
