Chapter 891 Conspiracy
About an hour later.
In the main hall of the city lord's mansion, there was a lot of voices, and it seemed a little chaotic.
A dozen or so men in various costumes sat around a huge meeting stone table, holding black stone cups in their hands, shaking the blood of scaled beasts inside, chatting happily with each other.
Chen Yang sat at the lower position closest to the main seat, caressing the stone cup with one hand and holding the other in his sleeve, but he never saw him drinking blood from the cup, even if someone he knew came to clink glasses with him, he was only a symbol He brought the stone cup to his lips, then put it down again.
On the stone table beside him, there was a large black stone box, tightly sealed.
"Captain Chenyang, what's the situation? The city lord suddenly asked you to call us all over, but there is something important to announce, why don't you give me a breath first?" A man with protruding fangs, The tall man with white bone armor grinned and asked with a smile.
"Captain Mou Lin, I don't want to say if it's not about brothers, but I really don't know. Don't worry too much. The city lord will naturally tell you when everyone is here." Chen Yang replied with a smile.
When the man heard the words, he just smiled and stopped talking.
At this time, the gate of the main hall was slowly pushed open by a young man with horn tattoos on his cheek, and then three more people came in one after another.
The first one to come in was a one-horned man. If Han Li saw it, he would be no stranger to him. He was the one who presided over the fight in the Xuandou Field of the Ninth District on weekdays.
Immediately after them came in were two demon men in crimson robes, one with a round face and the other with a square face, each holding a thick book in their hands, and a brush with a vermilion tip , but it was the two scribes.
"Brother Chen, except for the few people who went out to hunt, everyone is here." After all three people came in, the tattooed youth who pushed the door looked at Chen Yang and said via voice transmission.
Chen Yang silently nodded, and the young man walked out and closed the stone door.
After the three unicorns were all seated, Chen Yang still didn't rush to speak, but silently looked at the people in the hall.
After waiting for a long time, someone finally got impatient.
A demon man with a face like a jujube and two horns on his head asked loudly: "Chen Yang, what the hell are you doing, you called everyone over and said that the city lord has something important to announce, why haven't you seen me for a long time?" The city lord shows up?"
As soon as this remark came out, the noise in the hall also quieted down, and everyone also looked sideways at Chen Yang.
"Captain Xiongpi, why can't you even wait for the city lord to wait for a moment? Why don't you drink a few more mouthfuls of the blood of the scaled beast, and take it easy. In the past, the city lord was reluctant to give us this stuff." Chen Yang was not angry either. , said with a smile.
The red-faced man named Xiong Pi with two horns on his head listened, picked up the thick stone cup, and drank another mouthful of animal blood.
When the animal blood in their stone cups was almost drunk, Chen Yang stood up slowly, walked to the main seat of the conference stone table, the seat that only Du Qingyang could sit in the past, and sat down with great determination. .
Everyone didn't pay attention at first, but soon they were all attracted by his extremely unreasonable behavior, and they all looked over here with strange expressions, and the whole hall fell silent instantly.
"Chen Yang, how dare you sit in that seat, don't you want to court death?" At this time, the man with fangs named Mu Lin slammed the table, stood up, and said angrily.
"You bastard, come down quickly..." Immediately afterwards, two more city guard captains stood up and looked at each other with angry eyes.
Seeing this, Chen Yang was unmoved, just stretched lazily, and slowly sat up straight.
"Everyone, don't be in a hurry, just listen to my last sentence. There is only one important thing that the city lord wants to announce today..." Having said that, he paused, and his gaze slowly turned to everyone.
The other people in the hall didn't understand what Chen Yang was going crazy today, and they all waited quietly for him to finish speaking.
"Du Qingyang feels that virtue is not worthy, and he wants to give up the position of city lord to me!"
As soon as Chen Yang's words came out, it was like a pan of oil splashing water and thunder on the ground, and the whole hall immediately exploded.
"What are you talking about? Make room for you?" Xiong Pi frowned and asked loudly.
"What are you, you dare to hope for the position of city lord?" Another person shouted loudly.
"Chenyang, don't you want to rebel?" Mou Lin kicked away the stone chair by his feet and said sternly.
"Crazy, he must be crazy..."
...
There was a "bang"!
Chen Yang slapped the stone table with his palm and stood up abruptly.
There was a "click" sound on the meeting stone table, and a spider web of cracks spread out in an instant.
Seeing this, everyone stood up in shock.
"Colleagues, you might as well ask the city lord for proof, and see if what I said, Chen, is not insane?" Chen Yang glanced at the crowd and said in a cold voice.
"Where is Lord City Master, I want to see him." Mou Lin shouted loudly.
"If you want to see the city lord, it's easy." Chen Yang raised his hand and pushed with a smile.
The black stone box placed in front of him was pushed out by his palm, rolled over on the table a few times, the lid of the box opened with a "snap", and the "things" contained in it followed suit. fell out.
It was a head full of smudges and broken into two pieces.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this.
Mou Lin's eyes widened and he suppressed the horror in his heart, he raised his hand and brushed aside the messy hair on the half of his head, revealing a dirty and mutilated cheek that was hidden underneath, but it was Du Qingyang, the lord of Qingyang City!
"City Lord..." Xiong Pi exclaimed.
Everyone's expressions changed one after another, and their reactions in an instant were all different.
Among them, only Mou Lin Xiongpi glared at each other, while most of them were terrified and seemed a little at a loss.
The two recorders glanced at each other, and the hands holding the book and the pen began to tremble uncontrollably.
On the contrary, the one-horned man had calm eyes and looked calm.
"Master murderer, Chen Yang, you deserve to die!" Mou Lin's eyes turned cold, and he gritted his teeth.
"Everyone, the city lord is dead, and the murderer is Chen Yang. We will work together to kill him and avenge the city lord!" Xiong Pi said with a twinkle in his eyes.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but few of them really dared to step forward.
Du Qingyang's ability to become the lord of this city relies more on force and deterrence. Of course there are those who are loyal to him, but after all, it cannot be everyone.
"Whoever can kill this thief, I, Mu Lin, would like to regard him as the new city lord." Seeing this, Mu Lin shouted violently.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed subtly, and many people began to come forward eagerly, trying to surround Chen Yang in the center.
"If you want to kill me, can you do it?" Chen Yang asked loudly, his expression unchanged.
After all, the stone gate of the main hall was slammed open, and the tattooed youth led a dozen strong young men in bone armor to rush in, surrounding Mou Lin and others.
"Chenyang, with these miscellaneous soldiers, you want to succeed?" Xiong Pi sneered.
After saying a word, he clenched his fists, and a burst of stellar energy was released from his body. There was a "bang bang" sound on his body, and one after another, the mysterious orifices lit up.
However, after only a dozen or so sounds, the sound stopped abruptly.
Not only did Xiong Pi's body no longer light up, but his body softened and he fell directly to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of falling to the ground continued in the hall, and one after another the figures fell crookedly and lay on the ground in a mess. The only ones who were still standing were Chen Yang and the tattooed youth. people.
"In the blood of the flower-scaled beast... there is the bone powder of the Baixuan beast..." Xiong Pi said in a trembling voice, supporting his upper body.
Chen Yang picked up his cup of animal blood, walked to Xiong Pi's side, poured some of it on his face.
"I just found out now, don't you think it's too late?" Chen Yang sneered and said slowly.
Xiong Pi sighed heavily and lay down.
Chen Yang ignored him, walked slowly past him, and said, "Everyone, what do you say now? Do you want to be a loyal minister and follow Du Qingyang, or share this wonderful Qingyang City with me?"
Inside the main hall, there was no sound, a dead silence.
...
In the side hall next door.
"It seems that you, Fellow Daoist Gu, are right. Chen Yang has already made plans for today's affairs. Let us stay in this side hall. He doesn't really want us to help, but to show us his wrists. "Han Li said with a smile as he listened to the commotion in the hall.
"The reason why I chose to conspire with this person that day was also because I saw that this person's ambition was not small, and he was not someone who lived under others for a long time. Although conspiring with this kind of person can get twice the result with half the effort, if you are not careful, you will eat yourself back Yes." Gu Qianxun said lightly.
...
In the main hall at this time, after a short period of silence, Chen Yang's voice suddenly sounded:
"Don't worry, everyone, as long as you are willing to follow me, I will only give you more than Du Qingyang in the future, and I will never treat you badly. But if you have two hearts, you are looking for death..."
As the voice fell, his figure became slightly blurred, and he came to a short, thin old man in an instant, and stepped on his wrist heavily, directly smashing his wrist into a bloody mess.
A moan came out of his mouth, and his clenched palm slowly opened, revealing a strange white bone the size of a palm.
"The star bone of the Explosive Scale Beast contains so much power of the stars, it's really rare... Fellow Daoist Wu Heng, why didn't you realize that you were so loyal to Du Qingyang in the past? You actually want to detonate this star bone, desperately injuring me?" Chen Yang picked up the bone and said slowly.
"City Lord Du has the grace of my life. Since I can't do my duty in life, I will be loyal in death. If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you." The old man clenched his teeth and said powerlessly.
"Chenyang, do you think that if you kill City Lord Du, you can replace him? How can the main city recognize you as a traitor! In other words, as long as the envoys from the main city arrive, how will your fate be better?" Xiong Pi closed He closed his eyes and sneered.
"Haha... I really trouble you two to think for me. It's a pity that Xuancheng has ever cared about the turmoil in the subordinate city? As long as the tribute is not delayed every time, will they care whether the surname of Qingyang City Lord is Du or Chen?" Chen Yang laughed out loud.
"Forget it, you kill me..." Wu Heng heard the words, understood in his heart, and said with a sad smile on his face.
As soon as his words fell, Chen Yang punched down and hit his lower abdomen.
There was a loud bang, and Wu Heng's body exploded suddenly, blood plasma and pieces of flesh splashed in all directions, and his death was extremely miserable.
