Chapter 141 City Lord, Spare Me
Yan Qingqiu was so frightened that he pissed himself and peeing his ass off. He begged for mercy, saying, "City Lord, please spare our lives. We won't dare to make any more unreasonable demands. Let's just pretend nothing happened and let us go."
Li Rongsen was a little surprised, but not frightened. He was thinking about the thing he wanted. He said, "I have already given myself here when I came here. I don't regret it, but I have to take that thing away."
"You're almost dead, and you still want to get something? It's funny." The old man sneered at him, and he finally threw his hair onto the beam again.
"That thing is very important to me. I can notify my friends to come and get it." Li Rongsen said.
The old man laughed heartily, like a sixteen-year-old boy who had encountered something extremely amusing, and said, "You have offended West City, and even more so, the City Lord. You are no longer qualified to negotiate terms."
"Although West City is a strange place, we should keep our word. I am willing to be the city lord's slave here. Please give the treasure to my friend."
"No way, dream on." The old man was a little exasperated and refused in a mischievous manner.
But the city lord spoke up and asked, "Which friend of yours should I give it to?"
"An Yan, leave it to her. No need to say anything, she will definitely know." Li Rongsen spoke quickly.
The old man had regained his composure and sat down upright again, like a good child.
Yan Qingqiu also said: "Yes, let An Yan come to get it. We have to see An Yan come to get it with our own eyes, then we will be willing to die."
The old man didn't speak.
I heard the city lord asking again: "Do you think An Yan has the ability to save you?"
Yan Qingqiu said: "Of course she is capable, she is number one, I just admire her."
"I don't need her to save me, just give the things to her." Li Rongsen never thought of asking An Yan to save him. He was also afraid that she would not be able to escape after coming in.
Yan Qingqiu frowned and said to Li Rongsen, "You're still worried that An Yan won't be able to handle them. She can."
"I just regret getting you into trouble. I should have come here alone, but now I owe you a life," Li Rongsen said, and then he made it clear to the city lord, "I originally traded my slave body for the treasure, and now I'll use my life to get Yan Qingqiu to leave the city and give the treasure to An Yan. Is that okay?"
"Li Rongsen, you..." Yan Qingqiu didn't expect Li Rongsen to be so loyal. He couldn't help feeling ashamed and guilty. He had been extremely reluctant to help him detoxify before.
At this moment, seeing the city lord throw away his black cloak, she met their gazes and said, "You are so brave! You dare to come to this place. If it were anyone else, they would have died a dozen times over."
"An Yan!" Yan Qingqiu exclaimed, overjoyed, and then said, "Put us down quickly, put us down."
The old man threw a small knife over and knocked the two men to the ground.
Yan Qingqiu and Li Rongsen quickly untied the ropes on their bodies.
"What are you doing? What are you doing here?" An Yan sneered, thinking that she had arrived in time, otherwise these two people would have been killed or at least had a few nerves cut off.
Yan Qingqiu was very curious and asked, "An Yan, how come you are the city lord here? When did you become the city lord? Why didn't you tell us anything? You just said you were going to throw us into the frying pan."
An Yan said coldly, "I'm just trying to scare you so you'll learn a lesson."
Li Rongsen felt a little embarrassed. In the end, An Yan had to come to the rescue. He didn't say anything and tried to hide his embarrassment by straightening his clothes.
The old man said, "City Lord, the things are ready." Then he held something in his hands.
An Yan walked up to him and took it. It was a white jade seal, the size of a palm, with the word "Zhen" engraved on it.
The old man continued, "There's no problem suppressing the three mountains. The location should be based on the Five Elements, and the burial should be within the mountains, not within the courtyard."
"I understand." An Yan nodded and put the jade seal into her bag.
"These two belong to Zhen Xiaojia." The old man handed over two small triangular things, which were shiny and beautiful.
An Yan took it as usual and asked, "How large an area can this cover?"
"With your house as the center, up, down, left and right." The old man replied.
An Yan nodded.
"No one has come recently, and there have been no incidents. The citizens are all behaving themselves. The City Lord can rest assured." The old man began to report the events in the city to An Yan one by one, then pointed to Li Rongsen and said, "But today we captured a slave. Please, City Lord, arrange for his fate."
Yan Qingqiu also looked towards Li Rongsen, thinking that this old man was quite rigid. He knew that the person was An Yan's friend, yet he still acted like this.
An Yan said to the old man, "They are my friends."
"He said he wanted to be a city slave." The old man snorted.
Li Rongsen didn't intend to go back on his word and said, "I did say that."
"Shut up." An Yan sneered.
Yan Qingqiu just stared at the peep show. He felt that An Yan's expression was a little strange.
The old man continued, "The city lord should probably find a city slave to take care of his daily life. Besides, I just looked at him coldly. He is handsome. That kid Pan An is not even three times as good as him."
"Have you met Pan An?" Yan Qingqiu asked him. The old man spoke as if he had met Pan An.
The old man ignored him and only said to An Yan: "You have good skills and good character. You are worthy of being the city lord. I think you are worthy of it."
"That's enough." An Yan was almost getting impatient.
Li Rongsen felt that the old man's words were strange. How could a city slave say such words as "I am worthy of it" or "I am not worthy of it"?
Yan Qingqiu was also a clever fellow. He spoke frankly and said, "Why, the city slaves don't refer to the slaves of West City, they refer to the slaves of the city lord alone."
"Well, what else can we, the uncouth people, need? Naturally, the city lord needs a city slave to serve him, and he will only serve the city lord, and we will need more in the future."
"Shut up." An Yan glanced at the old man.
The old man immediately shut his mouth and eyes and pretended to be dead.
An Yan didn't intend to elaborate on this matter and said, "Let's go back. How did you get here?"
"I came here by car." Li Rongsen replied.
"I'll go with you, so you don't have to take the wrong path again." An Yan put on the black cloak and said to the old man, "Don't mention this matter again in the future, otherwise I will return the position of city lord to you."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it for now." The old man quickly agreed like a good student.
Yan Qingqiu was very curious, but he didn't dare to ask too much. He just followed An Yan out with Li Rongsen.
An Yan took another road. There were hundreds of acres of rice fields and some families here, with a total of only a hundred people, like a secluded village.
Li Rongsen said as he drove, "So there's a road like this."
"I always come to the other side." Yan Qingqiu also found this place very interesting and he was looking out the window.
An Yan said, "Other people can only enter West City from that road." Then he added, "Don't tell anyone about West City after you get out."
"I know. We're not stupid." Yan Qingqiu agreed with a smile and asked, "Is that girl named Xiaohua feeling okay?"
"As a master of detoxification, do you still doubt your own detoxification skills?" An Yan asked him.
Yan Qingqiu said, "It's not suspicion, I'm just afraid that I might have used too much force that day and turned her into a mentally retarded person."
"Mental retardation is only contagious." An Yan said nonchalantly, and then said to Li Rongsen, "Rong Qian is holding an art exhibition tomorrow. Let's go and take a look tonight to make sure no one is tampering with it."
Li Rongsen nodded.
