C257 Thousand Horse City
Within the Thousand Herb Garden.
When Gong Xing received this information, his eyes and mouth opened wide. Most of the time, his mind was blank.
In his heart, there was only endless shock.
He kept shaking himself.
"If the Chief knows about this news, he probably won't have the mood to open a branch store. This Lee Zongjiu... just how deep is he?"
Gong Xing let out a long breath in his heart.
Lu Mannxuan had already gone to the Luoxia City and seemed to be trying her best to build a relationship and platform with the Lee family.
With the Thousand Herb Garden's reputation and strength, this wasn't a problem at all. However, such a serious matter was hard to estimate and believe.
"Elder Gong, what's the matter?"
Looking at Gong Xing's worried expression, a voice sounded out in front.
"Miss is here. Do you still remember that Lee Zongjiu from last time..."
Gong Xing stood up and said when he saw the person who came.
It seemed like the identity of the woman who came was not simple.
If Lee Zongjiu was here, he might be able to recognize that the young lady in front of him was the intern who received him the last time he came here.
But now, the identity card on this young lady's chest had been updated.
Beginner pharmacist.
Now, he was no longer a novice pharmacist. A real junior pharmacist.
Although it was just the beginning, this young girl was clearly very happy and proud to be able to obtain this honor.
"Lee Zongjiu, remember, didn't he kill Ao Yong?"
"Luckily, this Ao Yong doesn't have any background. Otherwise, this troublemaker wouldn't be able to escape."
The young girl wrinkled her nose and said.
It could be said that Lee Zongjiu was able to escape quickly. Otherwise, Lee Zongjiu would have been caught by the law enforcement team.
After all, this city was located here. If the city lord died and the people below did not make any moves, the consequences would be embarrassing. Where would the dignity of this dynasty lie? Who would dare to take the position of City Lord in the future?
If one didn't even have a guarantee of life, Wouldn't that be quite dangerous?
"What kind of trouble did he cause again?"
The young girl asked.
"The newly appointed city lord, Zhang Yu, died tonight. Someone saw Lee Zongjiu bring the patriarchs of the three major families into the Prefecture."
Gong Xing said in a deep voice.
The appearance of such a situation was really confusing.
The power of the three families in the city was something that the Thousand Herb Garden couldn't ignore.
However, when this unknown kid appeared, he immediately mobilized the power of the three major families to force the Prefecture?
There must be some inside story behind this.
The specific situation naturally had to be investigated to be known.
Although the Thousand Herb Garden was not small, they were not a professional intelligence agency. If it was Heavenly Rain Tower, they would be operating day and night.
Presumably, the situation here had already spread to Heavenly Rain Tower.
And it was recorded.
"This guy? He controls the three great families!?"
"Is that bastard Zhang Yu dead? It's good that he's dead. Haha. "
The young girl didn't care about Zhang Yu's death. Instead, she cared about Lee Zongjiu. She was very interested in him.
"Elder, can you temporarily suppress this matter? Don't spread it so quickly."
The young girl looked at Elder Gong Xing and said.
As for Elder Gong Xing, he was also stunned. What does that mean? Could it be that the young miss wants to help this troublemaker?
This idea could be said to be extremely dangerous.
It was just that looking at the young girl's gaze, Elder Gong Xing also found it hard to reject.
"Miss, this... if the old master finds out about this matter, he will be furious..." Gong Xing said.
In desperation, he could only bring the old master out. Otherwise, he really would not be able to reject this matter.
"Don't worry, there will be no problem with my father's side. Perhaps Elder Gong will make a contribution."
The young girl blinked her eyes and said.
It was obvious that this young girl's identity was not simple. She had come to Beiyao City for her internship. At the same time, she had come to visit her relatives with Lu Mannxuan. After all, she had a good relationship with Lu Mannxuan, which was why she had come here quietly. There were not many people in the Thousand Herb Garden who knew about this young girl's identity.
The young lady insisted. Although Gong Xing was unwilling, he had no choice but to do it.
After all, this girl could be considered half the master of the Thousand Herb Garden. He couldn't ignore her words.
With the reputation of the Thousand Herb Garden and Gong Xing's own strength and status, he had to greet her a few times to cover up the law in the city. It's not hard.
This matter was secretly suppressed by a mysterious person.
Moreover, the three great families had collaborated with the City Lord Manor's guard commander. This matter.
However, the weakening was rather good.
After all, the people who had died were already dead.
Only those who had survived were able to grasp the situation within.
Lee Zongjiu did not know about this situation, nor did he know that the Thousand Herb Garden had intervened.
In any case, the three major families were only doing this to stall for time.
The next day, the martial law in the city was naturally lifted.
Lee Zongjiu came to the relay station and asked for his horse. He then headed in the direction of Qianma City.
The location of Qianma City was relatively hidden. If someone had never been there before, it was very likely that they would lose their way or even die on this road.
On the Yellow Sand Ancient Road, one could see a series of clearly visible horseshoe camps extending into the distance.
However, when the wind blew, the sand covered the footprints. If one did not bring any equipment to identify the direction, one would not be able to get out of this place. They would be lost in this small desert.
In fact, this was just a dried up riverbed. As the trees and water flowed away, the soil gradually turned into flying sand, forming such a spacious area.
The temperature here was also quite terrifying. It was enough for people to feel the horror of life here.
After passing through this land of yellow sand, Lee Zongjiu arrived in front of a dense forest.
Just as he was about to enter the dense forest, he stopped in his tracks.
He turned around and looked at the sandstorm behind him.
"It's the same as before, no changes."
Lee Zongjiu said calmly. He was thinking about it in his heart, but when he stepped into the dense forest,
He could hear a few whistling sounds coming from within the dense forest.
Swoosh swoosh!
The two sharp arrows accurately landed half a meter in front of Lee Zongjiu.
"Stop! Who are you?!"
A group of people wearing cloth clothes and headscarves emerged from the forest and immediately surrounded Lee Zongjiu.
With the way these people dressed, those who didn't know would think that they were local villagers or hunters.
However, with their neat and uniform movements and resolute eyes, one could tell that these people were actually soldiers!
Then, a short man wearing a black checkered robe and carrying a long staff on his shoulder walked out from the depths.
"Kid, are you lost or abducted? Go back to where you came from! This is not the place you came from! Otherwise, I'll let you destroy me!"
The short man glared at Lee Zongjiu and said fiercely. At the same time, he looked at the space between Lee Zongjiu's legs. He did not hide his threat at all.
"I'm here to find your city lord."
Lee Zongjiu said.
In his previous life, Lee Zongjiu had also wandered to this place. It was probably during this period of time that he had accidentally entered the domain of Qianma City. Only then did he know that there was a city hidden in such an inconspicuous place.
At that time, he looked like he had entered a den of thieves.
After all, this place was equipped with private equipment. Moreover, it was highly guarded against the outside world, and ordinary people were unable to approach this place.
Looking for the City Lord!?
When they heard Lee Zongjiu's words, the eyes of the short man and the others immediately turned sharp. They stared at Lee Zongjiu with murderous intent, wanting to see something from Lee Zongjiu.
"Take him down!"
The short man said without hesitation.
Immediately, the people around him pounced on Lee Zongjiu.2
