"Then we'll wait for their news. If everything is fine, let's go our separate ways," said Gu Lingfeng.
"Fengqin, Qingyu, come back soon, let's go back to the room"
Qingyu quickly came back and put her arm around Gu Lingyan's wrist, and Fengqin also ran into Gu Lingyan's arms. The two little guys had their own territory.
The three contracted beasts also finished eating, but there was too little of it and it couldn't fill their stomachs, so they could only taste it.
Gu Lingfeng also took Rui Yan back to the pet space.
Those subordinates were outside walking around the streets to gather information.
"Since we are here, let's check the location of the Mercenary Guild. We also need to find a place to rent spirit beasts. We will be heading to Zhongzhou in a few days, so flying beasts are necessary." He Zirui has always been very thoughtful.
It must be said that having such a subordinate who was always concerned about everything saved Gu Lingyan a lot of trouble. She was very glad that she had the good vision to choose the two siblings.
"Okay! Zirui, you've thought it through." Gu Song patted He Zirui's shoulder in admiration.
"You just need to pay more attention in the future. It's always good to be more careful. You can't just wait for instructions before doing anything. You need to learn to be more proactive."
"Let's go, stop chatting, business is important," He Ziyu glanced at the two people who were chatting happily and reminded them.
“Yes, first things first, first things first”
Gu Lingyan and the others returned to their respective rooms and began to practice every minute, striving to improve their strength before going to Yuntian College.
Although Gu Lingyan and her friends already have a place in the academy, that is, through the back door, she still wants to give it a try and enter Yuntian Academy legitimately after passing the test.
Although Xuanyuan Zhong had a place, he was afraid that after entering the academy, he would be bullied and excluded by others because of his low strength, so he was also practicing hard.
Day 2
Gu Song and his companions also went out to check the news for a long time and did not come back until dawn.
After breakfast, he reported his work to Gu Lingyan and Gu Lingfeng. Of course, they still went to the same private room as yesterday. They also booked this room to facilitate their meetings.
"Master and Madam, this is the information I looked up yesterday. Some of it is also intelligence I bought from certain places. Please take a look." He Zirui prepared four sets of information, which was very thoughtful.
Gu Lingyan took a look and found that there were four major families in Luocheng, namely the Wang family, the Zhou family, the Huang family, and the Luo family. These families were equally powerful. If the city lord was chosen from these families, they could also check and balance each other.
As for the former city lord, he is from the Luo family and is also the head of the Luo family. So far, they have not come to cause trouble. Perhaps they have seen their strength and dare not seek revenge.
"Then let's choose someone from the other three families! No need to be pretentious. The rest has nothing to do with us. As long as the person has decent character, it's fine." Gu Lingyan didn't want to cause too much trouble, mainly because they would not be here in the future.
As for the safety of the common people, it was already so unsafe before they came. It is impossible for them to deal with the city lord and then help them choose a city lord who cares about the safety of the common people in the city. This is unrealistic. Everyone is an egoist.
"That's settled then. Let's do it now, Uncle Steward. Use your strength and spiritual power to spread the word to everyone in the city and have them gather at the East City Gate."
"Miss, leave this to me."
"Listen up, my young master and young lady killed your former city lord, so they plan to help you choose a new city lord. So now you all rush to the gate of East City and gather.
Our young master and young lady are going to announce the new city lord to you. Everyone must be present, no one left behind." At the same time, they will use coercion to put pressure on the entire city so that they will behave themselves.
At the same time, the heads of the three major families also received separate messages.
Wang Family
"Master, this is bad. Those people are going to start choosing a new city lord. Should we stop them?" The servant quickly reported to Wang Yi, the master of the Wang family.
"Why are you panicking? I just received a message from that venerable master, telling me to go directly to the city wall. Maybe I will be the new city lord."
"Congratulations, City Lord! Congratulations, City Lord!"
This person was tactful and started to congratulate directly.
At the same time, the heads of the other two families, the Huang and Zhou families, also received Gu Yang's message and thought they would be the next city lords.
Falling home
"Great Elder, what should we do? It seems that we won't be able to become the city lord," the second elder said worriedly.
"If it doesn't happen to us, what can I do? Are you going to kill them and seize the city lord yourself?"
"We can't just do nothing!" The second elder was almost getting angry.
"In my opinion, the city lordship should fall on the heads of the other three families. We have never been on good terms with them before, but we have not been hostile to them either.
At least we can still maintain the status of our four major families." The elder could only think so optimistically. He was powerless. The strength of that venerable was so strong that they were unable to resist.
East City Gate
"Hey, isn't this Patriarch Zhou? And Patriarch Huang, why are you all on the city wall? Did you all receive the message?" Patriarch Wang thought to himself: This is not good. How come other families received the message? He thought he had been chosen.
"Since we all have the same goal, let's come clean. This family head has received a message," said Huang Lu, the head of the Huang family.
"The head of this family has also received it. It seems that the city lord will be chosen among the three of us," said Zhou Chi, the head of the Zhou family.
"Then let's go up together."
"Walk"
"Please come this way, heads of families." He Ziyu saw the heads of families coming and went over to greet them.
"Who are you?" asked the head of the Huang family.
"Oh! I forgot to introduce myself. I am my lady's maid. My name is Shui Wu." Gu Lingyan still suggested that they all use pseudonyms, which would reduce a lot of trouble.
"It's Miss Shui! Where's your master?"
"Please follow me, everyone here." He Ziyu was still very steady and able to handle the situation.
"Master, Miss, several family heads have arrived."
"The one wearing blue clothes is Zhou Chi, the head of the Zhou family. The one wearing dark clothes is Huang Lu, the head of the Huang family. The one wearing green clothes is Wang Yi, the head of the Wang family." He Ziyu had done his homework. He recognized which head of the family was which at a glance and introduced them one by one to Gu Lingyan and others.
"Family heads, this is my young master Lin Chen, Miss Lin Xi, and this is the venerable who conveyed the message to you. You don't need to know the others, you just need to know the person in charge." He Ziyu's tone was also very firm, which naturally came from the confidence given by Gu Lingyan and the others.
"Since the family heads have arrived, let's get down to business without wasting time." Gu Lingfeng didn't want to waste time on such unimportant matters.
