Chapter 5283 The Simple Prince

"Meet Mr. Chen."

Those soldiers in armor were all at the extraordinary level. Chen Yang had only seen them yesterday. They were all following Zhao Yuanji.

Chen Yang said: "Do you have a problem with me?"

The leading sergeant looked respectful and handed over a red invitation: "The city lord invites Mr. Chen to come to the city lord's mansion to have a talk. This is the invitation."

Chen Yang opened the invitation and took a look. It should have been written by Zhao Yuanji himself, with respectful and enthusiastic words.

Although Chen Yang felt that there was a high probability that Zhao Yuanji had a conspiracy, it didn't matter to him, so he decided to take a trip.

Moreover, Yang Ming and Yang Liang will have to settle here in the future, and they will inevitably have to deal with Zhao Yuanji.

It's fine if Zhao Yuanji is obedient, but if he has evil intentions, just use secret methods to control him so that he can only obey orders.

Chen Yang put away the invitation and said to the sergeant in front of him: "I happen to be free today, please lead the way."

"Mr. Chen, the city lord also invited Miss Yang and Mr. Yang."

The leading sergeant looked at Yang Ming and Yang Liang and asked Chen Yang for instructions.

"In that case, let's go together."

Yang Ming agreed immediately. She knew that Chen Yang was leaving and she would have to deal with the city lord in the future, so she wanted to establish a good relationship now to avoid future trouble.

Since Yang Ming agreed, Chen Yang did not persuade him, and immediately went to the city lord's mansion.

Arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, Yang Ming was quite impressed.

When the Yang family was at its peak, she had visited the city's main mansion many times, but she had never been here since her parents died.

Time has passed, and the city lord's mansion still looks the same, but it is even more splendidly decorated.

If Chen Yang hadn't appeared, he might never have entered this place again in his life.

Thinking of this, Yang Ming couldn't help but turn her head and glance at Chen Yang beside her, with a look of admiration in her eyes.

At this moment, Chen Yang suddenly looked over, Yang Ming was jumped, and quickly looked away, but Chen Yang said: "It seems that you are not sincerely inviting us to be guests. You will stand next to me later, just to watch the show." "

Yang Ming's heart skipped a beat and she quickly asked, "Is there an ambush?"

"So be it."

Chen Yang nodded. He indeed sensed that there was a cultivator stronger than Zhao Yuanji hiding in the city lord's palace.

Yang Ming frowned and said: "Chen Er, the city lord is an official of Xin Yuanguo. If we kill him, I'm afraid..."

"The worst thing is to just walk away."

Chen Yang disagreed, turned to look at Yang Ming, frowned and said: "Of course, if you are unwilling to leave your hometown, I will find a way."

"No, that's not what I meant." Yang Ming shook her head quickly and said, "I'm worried that it will affect you."

Chen Yang smiled and said: "Although I don't know where Xin Yuan Kingdom is located in Haizhou, it seems that the cultivators here are not strong at present. Even the royal family of Xin Yuan Kingdom can't do anything to me."

Yang Ming was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "I heard that the royal family is in the Hexing realm, and even they can't do anything to you. What realm are you at?"

"We're here, please come in."

At this moment, the sergeant leading the way stopped and made an invitation gesture, signaling Chen Yang and his party to climb the steps and enter the living room of the city lord's mansion.

Chen Yang looked at the living room and saw that in addition to Zhao Yuanji, there was also a short and fat young man sitting inside. He looked like he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he pretended to be calm and was listening to Zhao Yuanji's report. What, keep nodding.

But upon closer inspection, the pudgy boy's eyes were blank. He didn't listen carefully to Zhao Yuanji's words at all. He was already in a daze.

The identity of this short and fat boy is obviously not simple. He is only a cultivator in the Dan Formation Realm, but Zhao Yuanji next to him doesn't even dare to sit down. He bends down to speak and is very respectful to him.

Seeing this, Chen Yang guessed that the pudgy boy was most likely Zhao Yuanji's supporter, and the cultivator hiding in the dark was the pudgy boy's subordinate.

boom.

Suddenly, the pudgy boy slammed the coffee table next to him. The sudden movement made Zhao Yuanji, who was reporting next to him, jump.

"That makes no sense."

The short, fat boy looked filled with indignation and said to Zhao Yuanji: "This man is so vicious that he actually kills people on the street. It is an unforgivable crime."

"No."

Zhao Yuanji quickly agreed, his face full of flattery. It must be said that he has a strong ability to change his face, which can be seen from his attitude towards Chen Yang yesterday.

The short and fat boy snorted coldly, opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but forgot. He looked up at Zhao Yuanji with an embarrassed expression and said with a smile: "City Lord Zhao, the person you just mentioned, he What's your name?"

"Chen Er."

Zhao Yuanji concealed the contempt in his eyes, but his face was full of smiles.

"Yes, it's Chen Er."

The short and fat boy slapped the table again with an angry look on his face: "This man not only killed people on the street, but also robbed other people's property. He committed such a heinous crime. How could I just sit back and ignore him when I, Li Hongran, met him."

"My Lord County Sheriff, Chen Er's strength cannot be underestimated. Otherwise, I would not have alerted your Majesty the County Sheriff."

Zhao Yuanji had a flattering look on his face and rolled his eyes mischievously as he said, "Furthermore, the Sheriff punishes evil and promotes good. If you throw it into the ears of the Emperor, I believe the Emperor will change your mind."

"Yeah."

The pudgy boy finally became interested and shouted excitedly.

Just now, Chen Yang was curious as to why Li Hongran, who was in the Dan Formation Realm, could become the county guard. Now he realized that this little fat man was the prince.

But from what Zhao Yuanji said, it seemed that Li Hongran was not welcome. Otherwise, if the prince didn't stay in the imperial city, why would he be here as a county guard?

Looking at Li Hongran's absent-minded look, he has no talent, and his level is not high. No wonder he is not favored by the emperor's father.

However, the prince is a prince after all, and Zhao Yuanji, a small city lord, cannot compare with him. He quickly said: "If we take down Chen Er, I will definitely go up to the table and say that it was the county governor who found out about this matter, so he intervened, and all the credit is due to you." It's up to you, the governor, when the time comes..."

"No."

Li Hongran's face suddenly changed, with a solemn look on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "My father doesn't like others to lie to him. What's more, as his son, how can I deceive him for the sake of meritorious service? This is disloyal and unfilial. "

Zhao Yuanji felt that the prince and county magistrate in front of him seemed to be having a hard time with his mind. He did not argue and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, then let's report it according to the magistrate's wishes."

"That's right." Li Hongran nodded, as if it was a matter of course.

Seeing this, Chen Yang changed his mind. Perhaps the reason why the prince was not popular was not because of his lack of talent, character, strength, etc., but because he was too simple.

The disputes in the royal family were more intense than on the battlefield, and he actually insisted on not deceiving the emperor.

I'm afraid that because of this concept, he has offended the emperor countless times.

Li Hongran looked out the door and asked Zhao Yuanji, "Didn't you ask someone to lure the enemy? Why hasn't that person come yet?"
