Envoy Li was very surprised.

The city lord mentioned by the Jinyiwei is the lord of one of the five cities.

Before the Wucheng city was built, it was the summer resort of the Li family.

Every day, many businessmen pass by the Mountain Resort, or stay overnight and eat at the Mountain Resort.

Mr. Li is a hospitable person, so the guest rooms are full every day.

Later, the Li family master could not bear to see the merchants travel long distances with their goods to other countries to do business, so he tried to build 20 shops outside the compound. Unexpectedly, in just half a month, all the shops were rented out, and many merchants rushed to pay the rent in advance to ask the Li family master to build more shops.

Five years later, the Li family's summer resort has grown from a large courtyard into a large village, and then with the passage of time it has reached its current size.

Since the Five Cities are far away from the borders of each country, and the Five Cities is just one city, there is no need for countries to spend time, energy and money to fight for it, so as not to lose more than the gain.

It was not until the Daqian Kingdom unified the five kingdoms that the King Yong was sent to guard the five cities, and then the Jinyiwei was sent to manage the public security of the five cities. As for the rent and some affairs in the city, they were still managed by the Li family, but the taxes of the five cities had to be paid to the court.

Therefore, the people of the Li family were not happy about the imperial court interfering in the affairs of the Five Cities, but due to the situation, they had to allow the Jinyiwei to enter the Five Cities.

Over the years, the Li family had no contact with the Jinyiwei.

When merchants and martial artists targeted the Jinyiwei, they stood aside and watched, and even mocked the Jinyiwei and the court for their incompetence. Therefore, when Li Zhenfu heard that the city lord sent someone to ask him to help, he was very surprised and thought he had heard wrongly.

"Yes, the city lord's people asked Lord Li to bring people over to help."

This was the best opportunity to improve the Li family's view of the court. Li Zhenfushi would of course go to help, but when he thought of the past, he couldn't help but sneer: "In the past, they ignored us, but now they come to us for help when something happens."

It is estimated that the Li family came to ask for help because they saw what the Jinyiwei had done in recent days.

Captain Liu asked: "Should we go?"

Li Zhenfu Envoy sighed: "The Emperor once sent me a letter by carrier pigeon, asking me to find an opportunity to get closer to the city lord. Now is the best opportunity."

Captain Liu raised his hand towards the capital and said, "It is the Emperor's mercy. If it were anyone else, they would have taken the five cities and made them theirs."

"yes."

Without saying much, Governor Li took Captain Liu and the others away from the Duwei Mansion.

On the way, the city lord's people explained the situation to Li Zhenfushi: "Lord Li, the situation is like this. Our city lord has always disliked the people of the Demon Cult. After discovering that the Demon Cult also rented a shop in the city to do business, he issued an expulsion order. The Demon Cult did not want to leave, so they came to the City Lord's Mansion to make trouble. If it was other Demon Cults, it would be fine. Our City Lord's Mansion can deal with it, but the Demon Cult that came today is different. There are more than a hundred ninth-grade martial kings alone, and the strength of their leader is unfathomable. Our palace lord guessed that the leader's strength may have reached the ninth-grade martial honor or martial saint."

"Martial Honored? Martial Saint?" Envoy Li smacked his lips. "Is there such a powerful person among the leaders of the Demon Cult? Why haven't I heard of this before?"

Captain Liu was also shocked, but when he thought about what the governor said, Mu Nanjin could defeat the God of War, he didn't have to worry anymore.

The people in the City Lord's Mansion said, "It is said that the leader of this demon sect never cares about anything and only likes to travel and practice in seclusion. This time he happened to come to the Five Cities for a visit, but he didn't expect to encounter the expulsion of his own demon sect, so he went to our city lord to argue, and then..."

He didn't continue talking.

Everyone can also guess that the leader of the Demon Cult started fighting with the City Lord and his men over a disagreement.

【snort.】

When Captain Liu and the others heard Mu Nanjin's snort, they all looked at her.

What happened? Why did you suddenly start humming?

Are you dissatisfied with the actions of the Demon Cult leader? [We could have discussed this matter properly, but the city lord hated evil and started fighting without saying a word when he saw the Demon Cult leader.]

[It was because the city lord was too self-righteous. He thought he had defeated several demon cult leaders before and thought that the current demon cult leader would also be defeated by him, so he started fighting with him. But he hit a wall.]

Jinyiwei: "..."

I really didn't expect that the city lord would take action first.

Captain Liu sneered.

No wonder the emperor offered all kinds of tempting conditions, and the city lord was unwilling to become a government official. It turned out that he wanted to become the leader of the martial arts world.

The leader of the martial arts world is not only free, but also equivalent to half an emperor in the martial arts world. As long as he gives an order, most of the martial artists will obey the leader.

[Hehe, I'll see my old friend again later. ]

[I wonder what he has become now. I am really looking forward to it. ]

Old acquaintances? Captain Liu and Liu Qian exchanged glances.

Who is it?

Liu Qian and the others shook their heads slightly, indicating that they didn't know.

Just because Mu Nanjin is an old acquaintance doesn’t mean they will know each other.

The Duwei Mansion is not far from the City Lord's Mansion, and it takes less than quarter of an hour to get there by horse.

At this time, hundreds of members of the Demon Cult surrounded the City Lord's Mansion and shouted.

"City Master Li, weren't you very majestic just now? Why do you become a coward when you see our leader?"

"If you have the guts, come out and fight with our leader again. If our leader loses, he will immediately lead his people out of the Five Cities and never set foot in the Five Cities again. If you lose, the city lord will be replaced by someone else."

"Since Licheng has lost, our leader will be the city lord. He will definitely do a better job than you."

"Hey, why are the Jinyiwei here?"

"Do I need to ask? It must be the city lord's people who called them here."

"When did the Royal Guards and the City Lord's Mansion collude with each other?"

"In the past, when the Royal Guards were in trouble, the City Lord's Mansion didn't help. But now they are rushing to help the City Lord's Mansion. It's really like trying to get something for nothing."

All of Li Zhenfu's subordinates had gloomy faces. They thought back to when they were being chased by martial artists, the City Lord's Mansion had never offered a helping hand. But now they came to help the City Lord's Mansion. They really couldn't understand what Li Zhenfu was thinking.

The man who brought the Jinyiwei to help immediately dismounted and shouted to the people inside: "Butler, the Jinyiwei are here."

Upon hearing this, the people in the mansion climbed up the wall to take a look, and only after confirming that the Jinyiwei had really arrived did they order the door to be opened.

A passerby hiding in the distance whispered, "The city lord is not afraid of the Demon Cult, so he called the Royal Guards to help, right? It seems that the city lord has hit a wall this time."

At this time, the elders of the City Lord's Mansion came out to greet them.

"I didn't expect Envoy Li to come and visit us. I'm sorry for not welcoming you."

[This person's speaking skills are very good. He not only makes people who don't know the truth think that Li Zhenfu sent him here, but also makes Li Zhenfu and his people think that the people in the City Lord's Mansion are surprised that they would come to help. ]

As expected, the people watching from a distance were saying, "It turned out that Li Zhenfu had brought his own people here."

The elder gestured to Li Zhenfushi to invite him in: "Master Li, please come in."

Governor Li nodded.

Then, a deep voice came from the demon cult's sedan chair: "Elder Li, why don't you invite me in to sit down too?"
