Dao fellow initiates

In the quiet night amidst the sound of insects, in the courtyard, two figures drank together, without clinking glasses, and no one spoke, just quietly drinking the sake with the crescent moon reflected in the glass...

After an unknown amount of time, one of them said slowly, "Are you worried?"

"Huh! This Nizi is gone, I'm too happy!" Liang Gao snorted, and drank the wine in his glass.

Nangong Yunliu shook his head and said with a smile: "There is no need to hide between you and me. The way you were young is no longer suitable for you!"

Liang Gao couldn't help tightening his collar to prevent the things in his arms from being shaken out, and changed the subject: "That kid Yang Mu has something!"

"Oh? What do you mean?" Nangong Yunliu couldn't help asking.

"He actually has a storage bag, I'm afraid it has some origins!"

Liang Gao let out a long sigh of alcohol, with a little worry in his eyes.

Nangong Yunliu pondered for a moment: "Maybe there is some chance!"

He didn't believe that a 16-year-old boy who was only at the second level of Tongxuan would have any background. Is a cultivator who is a half-way monk really as complicated as they thought?

Yang Mu asked Liang Kuan and Nan Gongyue about cultivation, so naturally he couldn't escape their eyes and ears.

"How is the Li family doing?"

Nangong Yunliu didn't seem to want to talk more about Yang Mu's matter. Now that the other party has left, it is meaningless to explore his identity.

"The gathering of masters seems to be not just from his Li family..."

"Hmph! Sure enough, there are other forces involved. Don't wait for the day when the city lord turns over, or you will have to find them to settle the case!" Nangong Yunliu frowned and shouted angrily.

Liang Gao, on the other hand, took a sip of his drink and sighed, "I'm missing some appetizers!"

Nangong Yunliu stretched his face, and agreed: "It's a pity that she's not here..."

……

The next day, outside Nangongyue's courtyard, a maid arrived without haste.

Knocked softly outside her boudoir, said: "Miss, it's almost past [-] o'clock, it's time to freshen up and dress!"

The maid was puzzled. According to the usual hour, Nan Gongyue would have woken up by herself. Why didn't she even leave the room today? She had come here several times.

Deng Deng Deng!
Seeing that no one responded, the maid knocked three more times.

After a while, there was still no answer. The maid couldn't help but boldly tried to push the door, but she never thought that the door bolt was unlocked. With a light touch and a creak, the door opened automatically.

"Miss?"

The maid poked her head out and tried to look into the room. When she saw the neatly folded sheets and bedding on the bed, it was exactly the same as it was folded yesterday morning.

Because Nan Gongyue was a little restless when she went to bed, she would always tear off the sheets inadvertently in her sleep, and every time she woke up from the dream, she would spread the sheets evenly, but the symmetry of the corners would be missed, And every time she was the one who tidied it up, the corners of the bed today were actually neat, and the exposed edges were the same as the ones she arranged yesterday.

Miss was not in the mansion yesterday?
This thought immediately startled her, and in horror, the maid rushed out of the courtyard like a gallop, and asked the rest of the servants in the city lord's mansion along the way, all of them said that they did not see the young lady.

This time the maid panicked and hurried towards one direction.

That direction is not Nangong Yunliu's residence, but the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

……

In less than half an hour, a large group of people appeared in Nantian City, rushing towards the City Lord's Mansion one after another.

There are men, women, old and young among them, but they are all dressed up in various ways. Some of them even show their breasts and belly, with tiger skins on their bodies, and swords on their shoulders, just like a gangster's attire.

Seeing his staring eyes, the people on the street backed away in fright, and looked at the coming man with horror on their faces.

"This... isn't this the second head of Tianfeng Village... why did he enter the city so swaggeringly?"

"Run away, or I'm afraid I'll die going back today..."

After recognizing the person who came, the people who passed by retreated one after another, and some of them didn't even dare to do business, so they closed their doors directly!
Just like that, a group of men and horses composed of thugs walked towards the City Lord's Mansion swaggeringly.

When they arrived outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, there was already a group of people waiting outside.

It was a group of Li family members headed by Li Tianba.

Behind the crowd of the Li family, there is still a woman hiding, who is the maid who serves Nan Gongyue's daily life. She appeared in the team of the Li family at this moment, and the meaning is self-evident.

Seeing that the visitor was so slack, Li Tianba couldn't help but frowned.

"Why are you here, where is Pei Hu?"

The visitor didn't care about the other party's questioning tone, he laughed and said: "Don't blame Patriarch Li, Nantian City is the territory of the imperial court after all, we are bandits, how dare we set foot here so easily, don't worry! It's the same with me here."

This person's name is He Ba, and he is the second head of Tianfeng Village. Don't underestimate his fat head, big ears, slovenly appearance, and fierce face. He is like a paper tiger, but in fact He Ba is a Tongxuan Yae's master.

Because he lived a bloody life, his real strength was actually much higher than that of masters of the same level.

A trace of displeasure flashed in Li Tianba's eyes, but now it was too late to wait for the head of Tianfeng Village.

Keeping this matter in mind, Li Tianba said lightly: "You guys in Tianfeng Village had better not forget what you promised me, otherwise none of us will have a better time!"

Hearing these words, a shadow appeared in He Ba's cloudy eyes, which disappeared in an instant, and he immediately echoed: "Patriarch Li, don't worry, if my elder brother dares to let me come, he is absolutely sure!"

"Better so!"

Li Tianba snorted coldly and stopped talking.

A group of people rushed into the city lord's mansion in a mighty manner, and before walking a few steps, they saw Nangong Yunliu and others who had been waiting for a long time in the middle of the front hall.

How could he, as the city lord, not be aware of such a big movement?But he knew he couldn't leave, he had to buy time for Yang Mu and the others.

In addition to Liang Gao and the two adopted sons, there were 32 other people present. There were guards in armor, and casual cultivators in civilian clothes holding weapons. These were the masters he had recruited over the years.

In the Zhou Wu Dynasty, Nantian City was just a small city of subordinates, no one cared about it at all, even the soldiers guarding the city were organized by Nangong Yunliu spontaneously.

Cities under the imperial court, like Nantian City, although not to mention as numerous as an ox hair, there are still thousands or eight hundred of them. Even if one day the lord of this small city dies, as long as someone is willing to take over the position, the imperial court will not even ask, and just go straight to the next one. order, let him serve as the city's lord.

On the Xuanxu Continent, martial arts are the most respected, as long as you don't violate the interests of the dynasty, you can do whatever you want, no one can control it, and there is no ability to control it.

Therefore, Li Tianba dared to be confident. If he hadn't been afraid of the person behind Nangong Yunliu, he would have been unable to resist.
