Chapter 168 Imperial Decree

At this time, powerful people gathered in the Yancheng Zhangyu Commandery, and almost most of the leaders of the forces in the East County were here. This lineup could not be described as luxurious at all.

It's just that right now, all the giants in East County are staring at others with eager eyes, creating a tense situation. Although these people ostensibly belong to County Governor Lin Lang's side and Pengcheng Xing Yezui's side, the two sides are not as united as they imagined. Especially after the appearance of Commander Lu Yun, the internal conflicts of these forces were no longer concealed at all, and their true purpose of coming here was all exposed.

Although An Xiong seemed to challenge Lin Lang on the surface, his original purpose was just to get Zuo Tiantian. But after he arrived, he found that his daughter was poisoned. As for Licheng City Lord Meng Zhen and "Black Hand" Lianyun, one said that he supported the county governor, and the other claimed to avenge his apprentice, but like An Xiong, they all had a peep at the girl named Zuo Tiantian. heart of.

"Lu Yun, you think we are all children. You want us to believe that you didn't get that girl with just a few words."

The short dwarf Meng Zhen said coldly at this time, but his words obviously said what most people were thinking.

"When did I say that I need you to believe it? I haven't found the girl. If you want to know the girl's whereabouts, why don't you ask Zhang Yu yourself."

Meng Zhen stared at Lu Yun suspiciously, while Lin Lang frowned and glanced at Zhang Yu, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Although he didn't really believe what Lu Yun said, based on his understanding of the commander, he definitely shouldn't be the kind of person who dares to do something but dare not admit it.

Just when these people were at a deadlock, a sound of birdsong was heard in the distance. Although the sound is not loud, it is also because the location where the sound is coming from is relatively far away. But the birdsong lasted for an extremely long time, and it sounded like it was rushing towards this direction at an extremely fast speed. Just when the bird song sounded, the first-level monster Lin Lang was riding on also reacted and moved on the ground struggling.

Not only because of the reaction of this first-level monster, everyone had roughly judged the identity of the person just from such a special bird song. Soon everyone saw tiny black spots appearing on the horizon. As they got closer, the black spots continued to enlarge in everyone's eyes. The tense atmosphere before had long since disappeared at this moment.

Because these people all know that the black shadow is an envoy sent by the empire, and that he can ride on the monster beast tamed by the empire. He is definitely not an ordinary envoy, but a person sent by the Supreme Council of Elders, the direct messenger agency. The mount Lin Lang was riding was actually a property of the empire. On the day he became the county guard, the empire also gave him this mount.

The black spots enlarged, and everyone could vaguely see that what was coming was three mounts. At this sight, everyone showed a look of surprise.

Generally, the highest orders of the empire are delivered by monsters, but these people have never seen it with their own eyes, even if they have been in high positions for more than ten years, when three monsters appear at one time to deliver orders. When he saw this situation, Lin Lang's expression became gloomy, and several leaders also had ugly expressions.

They had only one guess at this time. The reason why the empire could use such a lineup to come was that the empire must have learned about the girl. They all have their own thoughts. Some hope to discover the secrets of Zuo Tiantian so as to strengthen themselves and achieve a final breakthrough, while others want to dedicate this secret to the empire.

But now that the empire has sent people here, the previous thoughts and efforts of these people will probably be meaningless.

Just as everyone was thinking secretly, the three black shadows finally flew over. Three black shadows circled in the sky, and immediately discovered the abnormality in Zhang Yu's mansion, and quickly swooped down. In just a few blinks, three huge giant birds flew into the sky. They looked almost identical to the bruised first-level monster Fire Cloud Eagle on the ground.

Two of the three monster beasts are the same size as the one on the ground, but one of them is slightly larger than the others, and the color of its hair is closer to fiery red.

When they saw the larger monster inside, the leaders of the forces below were all shocked. The slightly larger Fire Cloud Eagle turned out to be a second-level monster. There were only five of them in the entire Ye Lin Empire, so it was definitely not easy to guess the person's identity.

When the three Fire Cloud Eagles saw the injured giant bird below, they all showed some irritable emotions. Fortunately, the warrior sitting on it quickly controlled the monster beast beneath him, so that the angry giant bird did not do anything excessive.

"Hmph, Lin Lang, this Fire Cloud Eagle is a mount given to you by the empire. Is this how you take care of it?"

Hearing this angry voice, Lin Lang and several other leaders of the forces quickly looked at the speaker carefully. I saw an old man in his sixties, standing on the second-level monster Fire Cloud Eagle, looking coldly at the group of people below.

"Tenth Elder, why are you here in person? This, this Fire Cloud Eagle was injured intentionally, and it was not caused by my lack of care for it."

Although these ten elders rank at the bottom of the Ye Lin Empire's House of Elders, as the empire's highest center of power, even the bottom-ranked elder is not someone he, a county guard, dares to offend. So Lin Lang was amazed and hurriedly explained, for fear of arousing the anger of the tenth elder.

"Um?"

Hearing the confused voice of the tenth elder, Lin Lang hurriedly said: "You have also seen that this place is the residence of a commander in our East County. But today, someone was having a fight here, not only killing so many people in the commander's mansion Commander Zhang Yu was almost beaten to death, and my mount was also injured at this time."

"who?"

Seeing that the tenth elder did not mention anything about Zuo Tiantian, Lin Lang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly put all the blame on Zuo Feng. When the tenth elder asked again, he responded respectfully.

"The person who came here to cause trouble is none other than the young man named Zuo Feng who participated in the trial on behalf of Yancheng City Lord An Xiong a few days ago. This young man is extremely weird. He actually has this extremely powerful secret technique. He is obviously a bone refining With the strength of the second level, he can actually fight against the strong ones in the Qi Sensing Stage without losing. "

"I am just here to capture this person and take him back for interrogation. I suspect that An Xiong must also be involved in this matter. I am afraid that they are still studying some evil secrets and are preparing to do harm to us, Ye Lin. They..."

"That's enough. You, the county guard, are all you need for today."

While Lin Lang was talking, the tenth elder interrupted him coldly, and the words he spoke surprised everyone present.

"Where is that young man at this time?"

While the group of people were gaping, Xing Yezui was the first to react and said doubtfully: "Could the tenth elder be looking for the young man named Zuo Feng? Because that young man was seriously injured by Lin Lang just now, I ordered my disciple Take him to a safe place. He may have left Yancheng now, but I don’t know what the ten elders are looking for.”

Xing Yezui was the calmer one among these people, so he immediately answered and at the same time asked the ten elders intentionally or unintentionally about the purpose of coming here.

"Hmph, Lin Lang, you have done a good job. If this young man named Zuo Feng has any shortcomings, not only will you be deprived of your current position, but even your life, our elders will definitely not spare it."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone below took a breath of cold air at the same time. The execution of a county guard has never happened in the long history of the Yelin Empire. They are now more interested in this young man named Zuo Feng.

"Transmitting Imperial Orders"

Before everyone could recover, the tenth elder spoke coldly and said five words. As soon as these five words were spoken, a large group of people below quickly knelt down on one knee. Although imperial edicts are usually written down, the elders of the Presbytery are here at the moment, so naturally they will not make unreal remarks.

"Zuo Feng, the participant in this trial, is an important person in the empire and must not be harmed in any way. From the date of receiving this order, Yancheng City Lord An Xiong will take him to meet the elders as soon as possible. If he disobeys, he will be punished with the maximum penalty in the empire. "

Although everyone lowered their heads and listened to the ten elders reading out the order, they were all horrified in their hearts. Who would have thought that the young man who was regarded as an abandoned son by Anxiong before would now be the one that the empire must fight for with all its strength.

After Anxiong heard this, sweat dripped from his forehead, and he looked at Xing Yezui not far away with an embarrassed expression. At this time, Xing Yezui had already put away his lazy attitude. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke.

"Tenth Elder, although the young man named Zuo Feng was taken away by my disciple, it should not be a big deal. But there is another big thing here, and I hope to tell you in private."

Hearing this, several other people secretly cursed Xing Yezui for being cunning. It was obvious that he was planning to inform the tenth elder about Zuo Tiantian.

"Sir, Elder, I have something to report to you here. I hope that Your Excellency can give me some time." Lin Lang knew that this was his last chance. If he didn't tell Zuo Tiantian's story first, I was afraid that he would The crime will be increased by one level.

"Hmph, you still have the nerve to report to me. That's fine. I'll give you time to talk. But not here, but to the Elder's House." The tenth elder's words were cold, obviously concerned about Lin Lang's previous injury to Zuo Feng. Extremely angry.

Seeing this scene, Lin Lang's expression became a little more ugly. But An Xiong on the side said anxiously: "Tenth Elder, this little girl has Lin Lang's 'soul-transforming liquid' in her body. Please ask the tenth elder to make the decision and give me the antidote."

"Huh? How could this happen?"

After hearing this, the Shizhang Lao looked at An Xiong in great surprise, and then glanced at Anya in Uncle Tian's arms. He sighed unconsciously and said: "I also know a little bit about the 'soul-transforming liquid'. It seems that even Lin Lang himself doesn't have the antidote. If you want to cure the poison in your daughter's body, I'm afraid the only one who can do it is the Xuanwu Empire Only then can the big shot take action.”

After hearing this, An Xiong looked at Lin Lang in shock and anger, but he happened to see a slight trace of ridicule at the corner of Lin Lang's mouth.
