Chapter 492 Collaboration with the enemy and treason
The powerful people in the Fusion Stage of the Duan Ye Family still had some backbone. Seeing the look on City Lord Ye's face, they felt a pain in their teeth: "City Lord Ye, what are you talking about? If you hadn't insisted on reporting the strangeness of your daughter to the Duan Ye Family, how could our Duan Ye Family be interested in things from your small place?!"
City Lord Ye ignored him. After all, although he begged for mercy from Lin Zhao, in his heart he still preferred the Duan Ye family. After all, he knew a little about the Duan Ye family's plan.
Seeing that City Lord Ye didn't dare to look him in the eye, the fusion-stage master of the Duan Ye family calmed down a little and looked at Lin Zhao coldly: "My fellow Taoist, I don't know where you come from, but you don't want to offend the first family of a future super dynasty, right?"
Lin Zhao sat in the upper seat with his long legs crossed. Hearing this, he asked, "Super Dynasty? The first family? The Duan Ye family is so arrogant. Can the Duan Ye family alone help the Great Qin Dynasty win the title of Super Dynasty? Is there no other family in the Great Qin Dynasty?"
Lin Zhao's eyes were fixed on the old man's face. She noticed that every time she asked a question, the corners of his lips would unconsciously rise a little.
It seems like you are really confident.
However, if we really wait for these generals to win the battles outside, it will not be so easy for the Duanye family to maintain its position as the number one family, right?
After all, the other generals and royal families are not eating for free, so they tolerate the Duanye family to continue to develop in this way.
Unless... this dynasty can only be supported by the Duan Ye family, a military family?
"Are you planning to attack other general clans?"
The old man didn't say anything when he heard this, but subconsciously shifted his gaze.
Lin Zhao understood.
She walked forward and placed her finger on the talisman. The old man saw this and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are quite perceptive. Our Duan Ye family is in need of people right now. As long as you are willing to work for our Duan Ye family and offer us the Scarlet Heart Girl, our Duan Ye family will not treat you unfairly."
Lin Zhao removed her hand from the talisman and flicked her fingers, causing the old man in the fusion stage to let out a fierce scream.
Then, a golden fire emerged from his body and burned his body.
Lin Zhao attached a silencing talisman to him and struck him with a palm, completely smashing the old man to pieces.
A combined body died in front of everyone.
At this moment, not only City Lord Ye was so scared that he couldn't speak, but Ye Jiangxiu and Ye Wei were also trembling.
"City Lord Ye, you are a smart person, don't do stupid things. Can you tell me what you know?"
City Lord Ye's body slumped, and he met the girl's cold gaze and swallowed his saliva: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything! I'll tell you everything!"
……
After coming out of the lobby of Qianlong City Lord’s Mansion, Lin Zhao rubbed his eyebrows.
I came here to seek the truth for Ye Wei, but now it seems...
Ye Jiangxiu said: "My mother just sent me a message, she wants to meet you, Senior."
The city lord’s wife?
Lin Zhao remembered Ye Wei saying that the city lord's wife treated her quite well, and when Ye Wei heard this, she nodded towards Ye Wei.
Lin Zhao sighed and said, "Then lead the way."
Arriving at the villa where the city lord's wife lived, Lin Zhao met the woman's calm eyes and roughly understood why Ye Wei was able to grow up so big in the city lord's mansion with the status and resources of the second lady.
"You must be the elder from Weiwei's mother's family, right?" Mrs. An bowed to Lin Zhao as a junior.
Lin Zhao did not stop her. The world of cultivation respects strength more, and in terms of strength, she can indeed be considered Mrs. An's predecessor.
"Your Excellency has also met the City Lord. I wonder what your Excellency thinks?"
Lin Zhao said, "Madam, please speak frankly."
Madam An smiled awkwardly and said, "Then I won't beat around the bush. To be honest with you, sir, I would like to ask you to help me get the position of city lord."
Lin Zhao frowned and said, "Madam, the position of City Lord is tied to one's cultivation. There is a gap of three levels between you and City Lord Ye now. It is not something you can catch up with overnight."
Madam An knew this, of course. She asked, "What if City Lord Ye disappeared?"
Lin Zhao was stunned.
Does Mrs. An hate her husband so much?
On second thought, the man treated his own daughter like this, so Mrs. An was not surprised by his attitude.
Lin Zhao didn't want to get involved in the affairs between the couple, but her current identity was a member of Ye Wei's mother's family. Even if she wasn't, Lin Zhao didn't intend to just let it go because of Madam An's care for Ye Wei over the years and City Lord Ye's selling his daughter for fame.
She had originally planned to deal with Ye Wei's affairs with the Red Dragon Clan, and then deal with matters here after the overall situation had been settled. But now that Mrs. An has raised her needs, Lin Zhao will find a way.
"It's not easy to handle this matter." Lin Zhao said: "Even if City Lord Ye suddenly disappeared, there are many cultivators in the late stage of Heart-moving in this city, and Madam can't directly take the position of City Lord."
Mrs. An pursed her lips.
"But if Madam An contracts a spirit beast that has reached the Great Perfection of the Heartbeat Stage, she will be eligible."
Mrs. An's eyes lit up.
Lin Zhao said, "I can still help you with this. As for City Lord Ye, when Madam gets the position of City Lord, don't rush to kill him. The situation in the Imperial City is changing. It won't be too late to take action against him after the Duan Ye Family has completely collapsed."
City Lord Ye and Madam An now have two hostile forces behind them. Once one side completely gains the upper hand, the couple will not leave any way for the other side to survive.
From Lin Zhao's perspective, it was natural to help Mrs. An.
Then, Lin Zhao said, "Madam, you don't have to thank me yet. We may have to cooperate with your mother's family in the future."
Mrs. An understood what Lin Zhao meant and her expression was unpredictable. Finally, she bowed to Lin Zhao to express her gratitude.
When she saw Ye Wei beside Lin Zhao, she couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had not treated this concubine's daughter badly over the years, otherwise it would not be City Lord Ye who would be locked up in the future.
"Where around here is a suitable spiritual beast at the Great Perfection of the Heartbeat Stage?"
Madam An said, "There is a mountain range at the border between the Qing Dynasty and our city. There are as many as level seven spirit beasts on it. I'm sure there are also peak level six spirit beasts."
Lin Zhao nodded and said to Ye Jiangxiu, "I'll leave Ye Wei to you first. Madam An and I will set off now."
Ye Jiangxiu nodded.
Before Lin Zhao left, she was still worried, so she was cautious and asked Jin Ya to put on an invisibility talisman and stay, and then she set off with Madam An.
It has to be said that Lin Zhao's worries were not unnecessary. When she and Madam An, who had successfully contracted a spirit beast at the Great Perfection level of the Heart-beating Stage, came back, she frowned when she saw the City Lord's Mansion surrounded by three layers of unknown troops.
Mrs. An immediately recognized the strength of these troops: "Why did the imperial guards of the Qing Dynasty appear here? Who let them in?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the arrogant voice of City Lord Ye came from inside the door: "Who did you say let him in, Madam?"
When Madam An heard this voice, she was so angry that she trembled all over: "Ye Bin, you actually colluded with the enemy and betrayed your country. You are unworthy of being the city lord!"
City Lord Ye snorted coldly, "If I don't contact the princess in time, I'm afraid I won't be able to sit firmly on the position of city lord now! You can do it on the first day, why can't I do it on the fifteenth?! An Mingyu, if you still want Ye Wan's life, quickly have someone hand over Ye Wei's bastard!"
