The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

"What do you want from Brother Tian?" Guan Hu stared at the young man and said in a bad tone.

The young man swallowed nervously, then spoke carefully: "I am Mr. Zhang's henchman."

"What henchman? Which Lord Zhang?" Guan Hu interrupted him with some dissatisfaction.

"He is a family servant... Lord Zhang, the city lord." The young man added.

Guan Hu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, looking quite surprised: "Are you from the City Lord's Mansion?"

He had never expected that this young man would be related to the city lord.

When Duan Tianyang brought them to Xiguan City, Zhang Cai did not show up; when Duan Tianyang led them to resist the foreign soldiers, Zhang Cai also did not show up.

If the young man in front of him had not mentioned it, Guan Hu would have almost forgotten the existence of the city lord.

After all, in Xiguan City, the previous situation was almost entirely controlled by Su Wen.

Like your master, like your subordinates.

Although Zhang Cai was the lord of Xiguan City, his policy of laissez-faire made his subordinates equally weak and incompetent.

When his eyes swept over ferocious figures like Guan Hu and Cao Ge, the young man's legs couldn't help but tremble.

He swallowed, took a few deep breaths, and then reluctantly said, "Yes... yes. My city lord heard that there were some misunderstandings between Lord Su and Lord Duan, so he decided to hold a banquet in his mansion and invite the two adults to dine together, hoping to use this opportunity to eliminate past misunderstandings and allow the two adults to live in harmony in the future. The city lord said that everyone is a colleague, and there is no need to make the relationship so stiff. He also said..."

"Okay, okay, no need to say more!" Guan Hu interrupted him with an impatient look on his face: "I'll tell him when Brother Tian comes back."

"My master will hold a banquet at 7 o'clock in the evening. Be sure to inform Master Duan and don't let my master down."

"Seven o'clock in the evening?" Guan Hu was stunned.

"Ah! It's the hour of the dog."

"I know, I know." Guan Hu waved his hands and said impatiently.

After sending off the servants of the City Lord's Mansion, he revealed a sarcastic smile and said, "If the people from the City Lord's Mansion hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten that there was a City Lord in Xiguan City."

Cao Ge suddenly interrupted, frowning, "Why did he appear at the moment when Su Wen and Brother Tian's relationship broke down? Is there a conspiracy behind this?"

Guan Hu nodded in agreement and said, "That's right! Zhang Cai and Su Wen have worked together for many years, so their relationship must be extraordinary."

Xiao Fang sneered and said slowly: "If Zhang Cai really wants to mediate, that's fine. But if he dares to plot against Brother Tian, ​​we will..." He made a beheading gesture, and although he didn't finish his words, his meaning was very clear.

Guan Hu laughed loudly, his eyes gleaming with ambition: "Very good! In this way, Xiguan City will be ours in the future!"

After laughing, he spread his hands again, with a trace of worry on his face: "But, where is Brother Tian?"

Yes! Everyone showed a confused expression.

Brother Tian went out at noon, and four hours have passed, but he still hasn't returned.

Cao Ge muttered in a low voice: "Is nothing going to happen to Brother Tian?"

After hearing this, Xiao Hong patted him in dissatisfaction and scolded him, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Afterwards, everyone decided to search for Duan Tianyang everywhere in the city.

Although Xiguan City is not large and has limited streets, the crowd searched for an hour but still found no clues about Duan Tianyang, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.

Night is falling and the hour of Xu is approaching.

Everyone gathered together to discuss countermeasures, and finally decided to put the search for Duan Tianyang on hold for the time being and instead go to the banquet at the City Lord's Mansion first.

No matter what Zhang Cai's intention is, he is still the city lord, and they have to give him this face.

Xiao Fang only took Guan Hu and Xiao Hong to the City Lord's Mansion for the banquet, while Jin Bao and Cao Ge stayed at home to look after Yan Bin.

When we arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Su Wen had already arrived first.

When Xiao Fang and the other two stepped into the hall, Su Wen sat steadily on his chair, while Zhang Cai stood up to greet them with a smile on his face.

"Haha, I wonder which one is Lord Duan?" Zhang Cai's voice was full of enthusiasm, and his eyes moved between Xiao Fang and Guan Hu.

Zhang Cai is about the same age as Su Wen, in his thirties, of medium build and a little overweight.

Although he is the city lord, he behaves very easy-going and friendly in front of everyone.

Su Wen turned his head and looked at Xiao Fang and the other two, with a puzzled expression on his face. He did not see Duan Tianyang.

Xiao Fang bowed respectfully and said, "Master Zhang, I am Xiao Fang."

"It turns out to be Lord Xiao. My apologies! My apologies!" Zhang Cai looked nonchalant and did not act like a city lord. He was very easy-going.

He simply addressed others as "Sir" and believed in the philosophy of "the more courtesy, the less blame."

"Could this be Lord Duan?" Zhang Cai turned his gaze to Guan Hu. There were three people in total, one of whom was a woman. Since she was not Xiao Fang, the one in front of him should be her.

Guan Hu bowed to Zhang Cai and said, "I am Guan Hu. Lord Duan is not feeling well, so he specially sent me to attend the banquet."

Before Zhang Cai opened his mouth, Su Wen slammed the table, stood up, strode forward, and said in a loud voice: "Master Zhang, did you see that? Duan Tianyang is not only arrogant, he also treats me, the city guard chief, as nothing, and he also ignores you, the city lord. He is so arrogant!"

When Guan Hu heard this, his face instantly turned gloomy, and his tone became a little impolite: "Master Su, I have made it very clear that our master is not feeling well and is now resting at home."

"Not feeling well? I remember he was full of energy at noon. How come he felt unwell in the blink of an eye? Who are you kidding?" Su Wen retorted angrily.

Zhang Cai hurriedly stood between the two men, waving his hands repeatedly, with a smile on his face: "My Lords, please calm down. Since Lord Duan is unwell, we cannot force him. We are all colleagues, and we will see each other sooner or later. Why should we hurt the harmony over such a small matter? Lord Xiao and Lord Guan are here on behalf of Lord Duan, why don't we take a seat first and discuss it slowly."

As he spoke, he pulled Guan Hu's sleeve with one hand and Su Wen's sleeve with the other, led the two to the round table in the hall, and asked them to sit down.

Then he filled a glass of wine for Xiao Fang, Guan Hu and Su Wen, picked up his own glass, and said with a smile: "I toast to both of you. You are all elites of Xiguan City and the backbone of this place. We should unite as one and fight against foreign enemies together instead of killing each other. Come, come, come, let's drink this glass of wine. I hope we can work together in the future and create brilliance together!"

After saying that, Zhang Cai drank it all in one gulp, leaving not a drop of wine left in the glass.
