A hint of deep coldness flashed across Nangong Jing's eyes.
Sheng Yu looked at Nangong Jing with resentment. He knew that it was impossible for him to leave Langzhou City today.
Now I am the fish on the chopping board, at his mercy.
"Prince Duan has a good plan. He entered the city quietly without causing any harm to the people in the city. This city lord admires him very much, but a traitor is still a traitor after all!"
Sheng Yu's words made it hard to tell what he meant. Nangong Jing knew Sheng Yu's thoughts very well. He was afraid that he knew his fate today and deliberately said this in order to surrender! "The Lord of the City cares about the people and is worthy of being the Lord of the City. For this, I will spare your life!"
These words seemed to be a protective talisman for Sheng Yu, bringing a hint of relief to his tense face.
"Haha, the King of the South is really generous. Please!"
"Yes, King Nan!"

Zhang Yan arranged everything quickly. Nangong Jing moved in. Li Mao and Li Feng were still tied up, but they were not locked up in the cell. Instead, they were invited to the guest room, which was guarded by someone.
He actually dared to deceive. Thinking of this, Nangong Jing suddenly sneered and said, "That's right. I have been in the capital for many years and have not been favored by the emperor. I have never asked about the affairs of the court. You are a small official in the capital, so naturally I don't pay attention to you!"
He couldn't do anything now, and was very unwilling to accept it. He wanted to tell everyone that he knew about the relationship between Sheng Yu and Ye Youguo.
Sheng Yu came back to his senses, remained calm, and said with a cautious look on his face, "Return to the Southern King, it has been five years!"
Li Feng was speechless and opened his mouth but said nothing.
Sheng Yu was still thinking about what he was planning, so of course he would die so easily. Nangong Jing saw through Sheng Yu's inner plan and spared his life.
"Go! If you keep talking like that, I'll blow your head off!"
"yes!"
"King Nan is too kind to me!"
The army moved forward unhindered and stopped at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. Zhang Yan went in first to make arrangements.
"You go down first!"
"King Nan is joking. As the lord of a city, I have only done my duty conscientiously. I cannot say that I have done anything meritorious!"
Zhang Yan said threateningly and pushed Li Feng.
After Nangong Jing took his seat, he looked at Sheng Yu and asked.
But Li Mao wouldn't let him speak.
A cancer like Sheng Yu would be a huge hidden danger if he remained in the court of Nanzhao. When Nangong Jing ascended the throne, he would be the first one to be dealt with.
Sheng Yu was sweating profusely and kept saying yes.
When Sheng Yu heard that Nangong Jing's plain words had decided his life or death, he immediately knelt down and said, "Of course I am willing to follow the King of the South and serve the new dynasty in the future!"
But whether he is allowed to die or not depends on what Sheng Yu will do.
"I just walked through the city, and I saw that the people in this city live a prosperous life. I think it is all thanks to you, the city lord!"
Now he asked Ah Qi to keep an eye on him, and also wanted to arrest all the people that Sheng Yu contacted to prevent future troubles.
Nangong Jing murmured, thinking to himself, five years? Haha... that's a long time.
Li Feng, a young man with a nagging head, was furious when he heard the conversation between Sheng Yu and Nangong Jing. He angrily asked, "Prince Duan, you are such a shameless person. You also believe in Sheng Yu, an old fox?"
Because the evidence that day was burned by Li Mao.
In Langzhou City, he told others that he had only stayed in the capital for a few years before being sent away.
The rest refused to say a word. Nangong Jing had just entered Langzhou City today. How could he know all this? Sheng Yu was terrified, but he said with a fake smile: "The King of Nan must have remembered it wrongly. I also stayed in the capital for a few years, but my official position was low, so no one remembers it!"
Sheng Yu had achieved his goal, so naturally he would not make things difficult for Nangong Jing anymore.
Although Nangong Jing was suppressed by the emperor in the capital and lived a miserable life, he sent people to investigate all the officials, big and small, in the capital, whether they had been seen or not, whether they knew the names or not. The Sheng Yu in front of him was not an official in the capital at all.
"Get up, the position of the Lord of Langzhou City is still yours. If there are any problems here in the future, you will be the first person I look for!"
"Five years?"
As soon as Sheng Yu left, Nangong Jing said, "Ah Qi, keep an eye on him!"
Sheng Yu followed behind Nangong Jing, thinking in his heart how he could regain his position as the lord of Langzhou City without being suspected.
"There is no need to say such polite words. I can see that you are a good city lord who serves the people. This king has always cherished talents. If you are willing to follow this king, I will definitely not treat you unfairly in the future. If you are unwilling, you can leave today!"
The position of the city lord of each city in Nanzhao State is usually released from outside the capital, but Sheng Yu was not transferred back to the capital, so how did he become the city lord? "It is said that the capital is a rich place, why hasn't City Lord Sheng been transferred to the capital yet?"
"Sheng Yu, how long have you been the city lord of Langzhou City?"
When Zhang Yan heard that Li Feng was so ungrateful, he immediately wanted to hit him, but Nangong Jing suddenly said, "Haha, I am the most shameless one, City Lord Sheng is an old fox, then are you some kind of Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering?"
These words were said with great confidence. If Nangong Jing had not known what kind of person Sheng Yu was, he would have been deceived.
Nangong Jing said with a smile.
Sheng Yu was shocked. He didn't know how Nangong Jing knew all this.
Obviously, he was also in a difficult situation. With so many people, only a dozen of them would be enough to poke a hole in him.
From today on, who will own this City Lord's Mansion is another matter.
Sheng Yu, the owner of the City Lord's Mansion, has now become a prisoner. He just goes out, and when he comes back, everything has changed.
Nangong Jing didn't know at this time that no one had discovered the army's tracks when they arrived at Danfu Town on the 11th and 12th, so they hurried to Langzhou City. In the military camp outside Langzhou City, the captured generals were almost exhausted and squatted on the ground weakly. Deputy General Wen had experienced the most embarrassing thing in his life today.
He now wished he could find a hole to crawl into, or a place with a lake nearby so he could jump in and be done with it all.
The two teams left behind by Nangong Jing were also suffering. They had lost their appetite to eat because of the stinking smell of feces. After Nangong Jing arranged for Sheng Yu, it was now the turn of Li Mao and Li Feng.
But he met them one by one.
The first person brought up was Li Mao.
