The system swallowed an eagle before it digested it

Hearing the system's reminder, Tang Zheng raised his guard.

The man in the study looked to be only about 40 years old, so young that it was unbelievable.

The lifespan of a martial artist is as long as a hundred years.

And a character like the city lord is still the city lord of Wuning City, the king of the northern border!
Logically speaking, at least one should be in the Condensed Reality Realm, and the earliest record in the Northern Territory to reach the Condensed Reality Realm was in his 40s at the earliest.

According to rumors, the city lord of Wuning has been in charge for more than ten years. So, doesn't it mean that the man broke through to the Realm Condensation Realm more than ten years ago? !
Tang Zheng suppressed the shock in his heart, slowly stepped forward, and came to the opposite side of the man.

"Junior Tang Zheng, pay my respects to the City Lord!"

"..."

Tang Zheng bowed for a while, his waist gradually became sore, but the city lord still had no intention of opening his mouth.

Tang Zheng felt a little displeased in his heart, but he didn't show it.

"Junior Tang Zheng, greetings..."

This time before Tang Zheng finished speaking, the man spoke first.

"A junior, doesn't he even understand the most basic etiquette?"

Hearing this, Tang Zheng hurriedly retreated to the door, knocking on the door softly.

"Junior Tang Zheng, pay my respects to the City Lord!"

"Well, come in!" The man didn't raise his head from the beginning to the end, and he kept focusing on the action at hand.

Tang Zheng took a closer look and couldn't help sweating.

On the desk, a big "Kill" was being written on a piece of white paper by the city lord.

The sharpness of the brushwork is like a peerless sword in a sheath.Even if no one pulled it out, he could still feel the evil spirit infecting countless blood.

"Good word."

Hearing this, the man paused his wrist slightly, raised his eyes and began to examine Tang Zheng.

The two looked at each other, like two mountain peaks colliding with each other. For a moment, gravel splashed and the earth was turbulent.

"how do I say this?!"

The man started chatting with Tang Zheng with great interest, releasing a powerful aura with his gestures.

Facing a big man at the level of the city lord, Tang Zheng felt the pressure doubled.

When facing the city lords of Yanjing City and Xuanlong City before, Tang Zheng never felt that there would be pressure.

But today, the man left a deep impression on Tang Zheng.

No wonder Wuning was named the capital of the northern region. The water here is too deep, and if you are not careful, you may not even find the bones.

Tang Zheng didn't dare to speak casually due to the huge sense of oppression.

After pondering, Tang Zheng said lightly: "Killing characters is often too fierce, but the trajectory of the city lord's writing is a little more elegant. It's like a butcher holding a scholar's pen, never guessing that he will use it to write in the next second Or... kill!"

As soon as the words fell, the city lord suddenly laughed.

Putting down the pen in his hand, the city lord patted Tang Zheng's shoulder, looking like an elder, in stark contrast to his indifference just now.

"sit down!"

"Don't be nervous, I just asked you to ask something this time, and you can leave after talking."

Tang Zheng nodded, came to the second seat and sat down.

Soon a maidservant came over with tea, both in appearance and etiquette, she could be called high class.

Nuo Da's City Lord's Mansion shocked Tang Zheng too much.

Now Tang Zheng couldn't help guessing, there must be some tricks in the tea! ?
"Don't worry, my lord, the younger generation will know everything and actively cooperate."

Tang Zheng vividly imitated the experience gained from watching police and gangster movies in his previous life.

The city lord smiled and said: "You boy, the polite words will be avoided. Today is in my study, not in the yamen, so don't be restrained."

"My surname is Xun. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Xun."

"It's absolutely impossible, the Lord City Master is just joking." Tang Zheng hastily refused, and being so close to the City Master made Tang Zheng a little sensitive to the next communication.

"Tang Zheng, you are disrespecting me!"

"Well...Brother Xun, the younger brother will be more impolite."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere gradually eased.

After chatting for a few words, the city lord finally got to the point.

"I remember, a few days ago in Poison Valley, you Beidou Academy discovered the Windblade Ice Ape Clan, right!?"

"The Yaozu have lived on the border of the mainland for thousands of years, during which time they sought opportunities to make a comeback many times. This time, I'm afraid there will be another war."

The city lord sighed, with a slightly sad expression on his face.

Tang Zheng knew that this was to test himself, but why would the city lord plan to ask the students of the academy for such a big matter?

Tang Zheng believed that he was by no means the first person to come here.

Tang Zheng didn't want to know whether the academy was hiding the truth.

"Brother Xun, I wasn't there at the time about the Poison Valley incident, but when I returned to the place I agreed with the teacher, the Windblade Ice Ape clan had already appeared."

Hearing Tang Zheng's words, the corners of the city lord's mouth suddenly started to rise, as if he was waiting for this sentence.

Tang Zheng had a bad premonition, and the city lord continued to ask: "That is to say, you didn't know about the appearance of the Windblade Ice Ape Clan?"

"Yes."

The city lord nodded and raised his hand to signal the maidservants in the study to leave.

In the entire study room, only the City Master and Tang Zheng were left.

Suddenly, the city lord whispered to Tang Zheng: "The higher-ups attach great importance to the matter of the Yaozu this time. They would rather kill by mistake than let it go. I am under a lot of pressure now. Tang Zheng, tell me, what is the relationship between the Yaozu and your academy?" Haven't been in touch?"

"Don't worry, if something goes wrong, I will take care of you!"

boom!
Tang Zheng's heart trembled violently, his eyes trembled slightly, and he looked at the city lord in front of him in disbelief.

Tang Zheng calculated thousands of times, but he still didn't expect the true intention of the city lord.

It was clear that he was going to use Beidou Academy as a scapegoat. Once he got involved with the Yaozu, no matter who it was, the empire would never allow it to exist.

If it is serious, it is not impossible for the entire Beidou Academy to be wiped out.

Tang Zheng didn't dare to wear such a big hat.

"Brother Xun, I can assure you that Beidou Academy has nothing to do with the Yaozu. I hope you can see clearly. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."

Tang Zheng got up and was about to leave, but the moment Tang Zheng pushed open the door, the four swordsmen before had already pressed their long swords against Tang Zheng's throat.

"My lord, what do you mean?!"

"Oh, it's not too late to leave after you think it over."

The city lord got up and left without looking at Tang Zheng again.

The study room was directly locked from the outside, and formations were placed around it, completely trapping Tang Zheng here.

Who would have thought that the city lord would come out like this, Tang Zheng felt that this matter should have nothing to do with the Chen family.

After all, the benefit that the academy brings to the four major families is not just about cultivating outstanding juniors.

Tang Zheng sat down, his brain was running fast, thinking carefully about who would benefit the most if the academy collapsed.

Gradually a familiar figure appeared in Tang Zheng's mind.

The Xu family, Xu Yi!
Chiyang Academy!

…………

In the middle of the night, White Swan Park.

Master Bai, who was about to go to bed, suddenly felt a gust of cool wind, and couldn't help shivering.

Before Master Bai could open his eyes, a cold sensation came from his neck.

The next second, the white wall was splattered with blood.
