Starting from the wind and clouds, piercing through the heavens

Chapter 26

"Battle?"

Surprise flashed quickly in Mingyue's eyes, and her complexion became serious.

Liu Ming glanced at her and sneered in his heart.

"Tell me, how much do you know about Qishan City?"

Ye San thought for a while, and said slowly:

"Qishan City is facing the Pass of Life and Death to the west, and the two have been at constant friction all year round because of the competition for several mine veins. However, in conflicts, I, Qishan City, often have the upper hand."

In a few words, he briefly summarized the main source of income of Qishan City, which contradicted diplomacy.

Liu Ming heard it clearly, but then felt strange again.

Qishan City is so rich in mineral resources, but its economic development is far from that of Beijiang City, and there are obviously tricks in it.

It is estimated that the proceeds from these minerals will eventually flow not to the City Lord's Mansion, but to the Ming Family!

Thinking about it, Liu Ming glanced at Mingyue and asked with a smile,

"Are these veins controlled by the City Lord's Mansion of Qishan City?"

Ye San nodded, but shook his head again,
"It is said that there are three major families in the city who are good at forging, and several dark iron veins are mainly mined by the three major families.

"Although the city lord's mansion of Qishan City stationed troops in the mine veins, in fact, it was just to defend against thieves and a matter of life and death."

Even the city lord's mansion is only supporting the three major families. No wonder the majestic lord of the city, the grandma of the Ming family, also abandons it.

She has already controlled the economic lifeline of Qishan City. If Li Jianke is dead, Wushuang City will send another 'Li Jianke' to take up the post. What is there for her grandma of the Ming family to panic?

"I understand."

Liu Ming nodded and said no more.

The team moved forward slowly. During this period, Liu Ming ran into Beijiang guards who Mei Youqian had arranged to station on the side of the road. They all rushed back to Beijiang City after they learned that Li Jianke had been killed and Wushuang City was in danger.

The road was bumpy, and Liu Ming had no intention of cultivating. He happened to enjoy the flowers and grass, so he gave himself a two-day vacation.

Two days later, under the gate of Qishan City.

Looking at the closed city gate, Liu Ming couldn't help but a trace of hostility flashed across his face.

This gate opens facing Wushuang City, and it is the main passage between the two cities.

Even dare to close this door, the other party is obviously guarding against Liu Ming.

"Who is under the city? Report your name quickly! The city lord has an order. If there is no pass order, no one will be allowed to go!"

Seeing the three thousand sergeants Liu Ming, the guards were visibly palpitated, and their voices trembled a little when they shouted.

Santo?Li Jianke was killed in Wushuang City, where did the city lord come from?
Before Liu Ming could speak, Ye San stepped forward and said angrily:
"Ye San, the former leader of the Azure Dragon Army who guarded the city of Wushuang, led [-] soldiers to protect the young city master of Wushuang City and take over Qishan City. Now you have a quarter of an hour to open the city gate, otherwise, we will meet each other with swords!"

The sound spread, but in a short while, there were many sergeants wearing a general on the city wall.

He looked down at Liu Ming and the others, his eyes lit up when he saw the bright moon, and he immediately ordered:
"Open the gate."

The city gate opened slowly, and Liu Ming led his team into the city, but when Ye San and the others were about to enter, they were stopped by the guards.

Liu Ming glanced, and Ye San and the others were also instantly angry. Several commanders responded directly with spears, but Ye San stretched out his hand to stop them.

"What do you mean by this?"

Calm down, Ye San asked.

The city guard general came down from the city wall to greet Liu Ming at this moment, and when he heard the question, he only smiled back,
"Since the young master has been delivered, all the sergeants can return to Peerless City."

"you!"

Ye San was ordered to evict the guest, and he couldn't help feeling angry.

Before he came, he had expected that when the two armies met, there would be friction, and they might even be targeted because of their involvement in the conflict of interests in Qishan City.

But what he didn't expect was that before the army entered the city, the other party wanted to drive them away. It was too deceiving!

Furious, Ye San just wanted to scold, but was stopped by Liu Ming.

I saw Liu Ming stepping forward slowly, looking at the general carefully, but the general was arrogant and didn't take Liu Ming seriously.

Snapped!A slap landed heavily on the general's face, knocking him into a daze on the spot.

"Seeing this young master, why did you close the city gate?"

Snapped!With another slap, two bloody handprints appeared on the general's face.

"When you see this young master, why don't you come down to greet me?"

Snapped!With the third slap, the general's hair was disheveled, and he was a little demented.

"Seeing my young master, why don't you kneel down?"

Three slaps hit the hearts of the guards behind the general. They trembled with fright, but Liu Ming didn't stop.

Boom!He kicked the general directly against the wall. ,
"This young master is here, it's your turn to dictate? I'm the one who can command you?"

The general himself is only a second-rate warrior, how could he not be able to resist Liu Ming's kick.

If Liu Ming hadn't kept his hand, the kick just now could have easily killed him!
The originally majestic general came to Liu Ming and knelt down like a plague chicken for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, supported by two guards.

"Humble post, see the young master."

Boom!Unexpectedly, Liu Ming kicked down again.

"I am now the city lord!"

Liu Ming shouted angrily, startling the bright moon beside him.

The unlucky general was seriously injured and couldn't lift a little strength. When he knelt down in front of Liu Ming again, he was already dying, and his speech was a little slurred.

"Humble post, see the city lord."

"I can't even speak clearly, let's kill it."

Liu Ming said indifferently, but was stopped by Ye San, so he gave up.

"The two of you lead the team to the City Lord's Mansion!"

Liu Ming pointed to the two guards who came to help him and said, how dare the two of them disobey Liu Ming's order now, quickly put the general aside, and tremblingly walked towards the city.

Three thousand troops marched mightily through the city, and those who passed by hurriedly made way for them.

Passing through a luxurious mansion, Liu Ming saw that the guards did not stop, so he asked,
"Whose mansion is this?"

"Back to the city lord, it belongs to Mr. Zhu's family."

The door of the mansion was closed tightly, and no one came out.

Liu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded, motioning for the two to move on.

Not long after walking, it was another luxurious mansion with its gates closed, and the guards still did not stop.

"Whose mansion is this?"

"Back to the city lord, it belongs to Mr. Li's family."

Liu Ming nodded.

Then I saw the gate of the third mansion closed.

"The three major families of Qishan City don't seem to take me, the new city lord, seriously at all."

When the new city lord arrived, he actually disappeared behind closed doors.

Fun, fun.

When he was about to reach the west gate, Liu Ming saw a small courtyard.

It is said to be a small courtyard, but it is actually not small, but compared to the three mansions, it looks much simpler.

Above the gate of the small courtyard, the three big characters "City Lord's Mansion" are impressively written in the center of the black plaque.

And on the gate, three big locks locked the gate tightly, and there was a reminder written on it——

To open this door, please go to the Zhu Mansion and take out the key.

The two guards saw that Liu Ming's expression was a little strange, so they hurriedly said,
"My lord, I'll get you the key right now, my little one."

"no need,"

Liu Ming waved his hand, then turned around directly,

"I want to get it myself!"
