Chapter 138
138 Obstruction
A few minutes later.
xu ya, han liqi, hong tianqi, and the others had already rushed over.
“City Lord,”
Governor. they bowed to Jiang Li and said respectfully, ” welcome back safely, Governor. You’ve won a big victory and returned with a lot of rewards.
“Yes.”
Jiang Li nodded and glanced at them. send people to move the things down from the carriage, and then organize and count them. The spirit herbs must be divided according to their grades. The ordinary herbs must be placed together without any mistakes.
“Yes.”
“Yes, sir.”
Xu Ya and the others immediately nodded and agreed loudly.
“Go and do your work.”
don’t worry. Jiang Li waved his hand. we’ll talk about it after I’m done resting.
“Yes.”
Hong Tianqi nodded.
“city lord, you’ve worked hard,”
Hu Dong and the others said one after another.
I’m tired. Jiang Li yawned. He was indeed a little tired. He didn’t sleep much these days because he had to deal with the monsters. Now that the problem was solved, he was tired again.
there are indeed a lot of resources and items this time. Get it done as soon as possible.
” let’s go. ” jiang li waved and walked to the city lord’s mansion. ynsh01 and the other meches followed him. the other meches got off and returned to the temporary camp.
Although the camp wasn’t complete, the framework was completed, so it was still usable for the time being. Besides, the meches didn’t have high requirements for accommodation.
of course.
If they could build a ‘military base’, it would be completely different.
Unfortunately …
jiang li had only unlocked the level-two mech army. he was still far from building a ‘base’.
There was a long way to go.
“I’m sleeping and resting.”
Jiang Li went back to his bedroom in the castellan mansion. Du Xiaohua got him a new set of pajamas and changed his clothes. Jiang Li fell asleep on the bed.
“goodnight, young master.”
Du Xiaohua quietly walked out of the bedroom with Jiang Li’s clothes in her hands. She then closed the door quietly, trying not to make any noise.
In case Jiang Li was disturbed.
On the other side.
Xu Ya and the others had started to move the valuable items off the truck as Jiang Li ordered.
“so many spirit herbs.”
“Si si si …”
all these gold, silver, jewelry, weapons, and equipment … They’re simply too awesome!
“What did the city Lord do yesterday? Did he Rob all four demon cities in Red Dragon County? Otherwise, how could we have so many things?”
“Gulu, Gulu, Gulu.”
“with this much wealth, it should be enough to support an army of 100000 soldiers.”
“I’m afraid it’s more than that.”
“Oh my God, the monster race is actually so rich?”
The crowd was in a heated discussion.
Pavilion master Xu Ya, there are too many things here. I don’t know how long it will take us to sort them out with just the few of us.
what’s more, ” Hong Tianqi suggested, ” the city guards have to patrol around the city walls, and the constables have to maintain order and peace in the city.
“Also, the members of the Sirius gang will have to look after the properties of the gang.”
in order to complete the city Lord’s instructions as soon as possible, I think we can hire the residents of the city and have them help. At most, we can pay them some wages.
“What do you think?”
“Yes.”
Xu Ya muttered.
“Pavilion master Xu, general Hong’s suggestion is not bad.”
“It’s not bad that the residents didn’t do anything when we were cleaning up the battlefield yesterday,” Hu Dong said.
“that’s good.”
Xu Ya nodded and agreed, ” then let’s do it this way. First, we’ll sort out all the spirit herbs. Compared to the gold, silver, jewelry, equipment, materials, elixirs, and money, the city Lord values the spirit herbs more. I don’t need to tell you this. You should know this.
“Of course, of course.”
Hu Dong and the others nodded.
“Then hurry up and get things done, don’t let the city Lord wait too long.”
xu ya said.
” it seems that i’ll have to send people to build a few more temporary warehouses to store these things. ”
xu ya muttered to herself, ” the warehouse of the contribution pavilion and the warehouse of the city lord’s mansion probably won’t be enough. ”
At noon.
when e kui and hong luan arrived at the great xia city, they were stopped by the city guards who were guarding the city gates. they discovered that they were half-demons and were not allowed to enter the city.
“You can’t go in.”
several city guards stood together, crossing their long spears and blocking e kui and hong luan. they stared at them with unkind expressions.
“what’s going on?”
very quickly.
A Captain of the city guards walked over.
“Captain, they’re half-fiends.”
The city guard said.
“Half-demon!”
The city guard commander’s pupils contracted slightly as he stared at e kui and Hong Luan. He immediately shouted, ” there are actually half-demons who want to enter the city. Tell me, what do you want? ”
Ta ta ta da
Instantly.
The surrounding city guards quickly walked over and got into formation.
it was as if he was going to make a move at the slightest disagreement.
Hong Luan, Didn’t I tell you before that we should wait until night time to sneak into the city? in the end, you insisted on swaggering in through the city gate. See, I was stopped.
E kui pouted. we, half-fiends, are not well-received.
“Hehe, Yingluo.”
Hong Ling glanced at e kui and chuckled, indicating that she didn’t want to say more.
He thought to himself.
Do you think that I don’t know about this? last time, I sneaked into the mansion of the city Lord and was heavily injured by Jiang Li’s puppet soldier.
I heard that Jiang Li has made a level-three puppet and even red Dragon was killed. If we sneak into the mansion again, we’ll all be killed by Jiang Li’s level-three puppet.
I don’t want to die even if you want to.
Of course.
Hong Luan only grumbled a few words in her heart and didn’t say it out loud. She also didn’t want to explain too much to e kui and waste her breath.
“We don’t have any ill intentions,”
hong luan smiled. ” the main reason i came over this time is to meet city lord jiang and discuss our next deal. i wonder if you can inform city lord jiang? ”
“……”
E kui crossed his arms in front of his chest and stood at the side without saying a word.
“A deal?”
The captain of the city guards snorted, ” why would the city Lord make any deals with you half-fiends? I think you have some secret that you can’t tell anyone.
“I’m telling you, don’t even think about entering the city. Besides, the city Lord isn’t someone you can meet just because you want to.”
“……”
hong luan’s willowy brows slightly furrowed.
“You’re looking for death.”
E kui’s face turned gloomy. Half-demon power surged around his body. His eyes turned orange-yellow, and a powerful aura spread out.
It alarmed the surrounding people.
“E kui, don’t be rash.”
Hong Luan shouted.
“Hmph!”
E kui snorted coldly and slowly retracted his aura.
“……”
The captain’s face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He clenched the hilt of his sword, his heart trembling, but he forced down his fear.
don’t be afraid!
Don’t be afraid!
He was only a half-demon.
There’s nothing to be afraid of. I’ve even killed demons before.
Moreover …
the great xia city is the city lord’s territory, and i’m his subordinate. the city lord can even kill a stage three red dragon and 100000 demon soldiers.
A mere half-demon.
There was nothing to fear.
as a subordinate of the city lord, i can’t lose face for the city lord.
“Captain, are you really not going to inform Castellan Jiang Li? Can you bear the responsibility if you delay Governor Jiang Li’s important matter?”
don’t blame me for not reminding you, “Hong Ling said with a smile. we’re here to discuss the herb trade with city Lord Jiang Li.
“Medicinal herbs.”
The city guard captain’s expression froze for a moment before he came back to his senses. He thought to himself,”the city Lord has indeed been buying herbs from all over the place. Could it be that what the two half-beasts said is true?”
Furthermore …
these two half-fiends were obviously at the 2nd rank and were very powerful, but they didn’t attack us and were restraining themselves.
Something was wrong.
It was common knowledge that the city Lord was purchasing medicinal herbs.
They might have lied.
“Dong Lian, what are you doing?”
At this moment.
hong tianqi was here. he had received a message from the city guards that a half-monster was trying to break into the great xia city.
“General.”
Dong Lian, the captain of the city guards, quickly walked to Hong Tianqi and saluted him. He then said, ” “These two are the half-fiends who want to enter the city.”
moreover, they said that they came to discuss the matter of trading medicinal herbs with the city Lord. This subordinate didn’t trust them, so I stopped them.
half-monster Alliance? ”
Hong Tianqi sized up Hong Luan and e kui, his pupils contracting slightly. He could feel that their auras were much stronger than his.
He was definitely an expert!
However …
Hong Tianqi was not afraid at all. So what if he was a master? With the city Lord around, when they arrived in the great Xia city, Dragons had to coil up, and tigers had to lie down.
“Yes, I am.”
hong ling nodded.
“Who are you? where’s jiang li?”
E kui questioned.
“I’m Hong Tianqi, the general of the great Xia city guards.”
Hong Tianqi introduced himself, ” as for the castellan, he’s resting now and can’t be disturbed. If you really have something to say, you can talk to him after he wakes up.
“dong lian, entertain them well.”
Hong Tianqi said.
“Yes.”
Dong Lian nodded.
Hong Tianqi left.
“This guy.”
E kui glared at him unhappily.
“The two of you, follow me.”
Dong Lian gestured.
“alright, let’s talk after we enter the city.”
Hong Ling said.
“If it wasn’t for the Vice Alliance leader’s orders, I wouldn’t have come here to suffer this kind of vexing anger.”
E kui muttered unhappily.
After entering the city.
Hong Luan and e kui saw a large number of people passing by in front of them. They were carrying all kinds of items such as gold, silver, jewelry, complete weapons and armors, medicinal pill materials, and packed spirit herbs.
There were so many of them that they formed a long line.
” where did jiang li get so many things? ”
Hong Ling was dumbfounded.
“I’m going to run!”
what? ” e kui’s eyes widened. how much is this worth? ” Don’t tell me, Yingluo ”
Suddenly.
e kui thought of a possibility.
“It’s definitely him.”
yes. Hong Luan nodded. we can only get so many resources by plundering the demon City in Red Dragon County. Jiang Li is too bold and ruthless. He just destroyed the demon Army in Red Dragon County, and he immediately sent his troops to plunder the demon City.
“This is a complete war with the red eyebrows Yao Kingdom.”
“Most importantly, he has offended the Imperial court of da Qian.”
“tsk, tsk.”
E kui smacked his lips. but I think that even if Jiang Li didn’t Rob the demon City in Red Dragon County, the red eyebrows demon Kingdom wouldn’t let him go.
“That’s why I said we might as well search all the demon cities in Red Dragon County.”
“the two of you should rest here for now. we’ll inform the city lord when he awakens.”
Dong Lian stopped and brought Hong Luan and e kui to a courtyard.
“Enough.”
E kui shrugged his shoulders. then let’s wait.
“……”
“thank you for leading the way,” hong ling said to dong lian with a smile.
