Master's Chief Disciple

Fortunately, there were no signs of demon invasion in Beiyao Continent, which meant there were no poisonous insects. The current problem was how to solve the huge scourge of Chu Yundi Capital.

"Qiao'er, go and help me prepare these things."

Gu Yuqiao took the note from his hand and walked out of the room.

"Regarding what Miss Mu just mentioned, I will arrange for people to patrol outside the city. Although Chu Mingchuan has only sent troops to garrison here, Beiyao Continent will be taken over by him sooner or later..."

At this point, Gu Lan stopped talking and showed a sad look on his face. There was a sense of sadness between his brows, but he seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

"..."

"The area of ​​Beiyao Continent is equivalent to half of the Yuanjie, and there are countless cultivators on the continent. What big waves can a mere human emperor cause?"

Gu Lan placed his hands on the table, clenching them tightly, but remained silent. Mu Huayan saw that he might be in trouble or hiding something big.

"City Lord Gu, if we can't talk frankly and in detail, what awaits Beiyao Continent will be hell on earth. I will stay in Beiyao Continent for the next few days. If City Lord Gu figures it out, please come find me where Meng Li is."

When she was about to leave, he still bowed his head and closed his eyes in silence, thinking. At this time, Gu Yuqiao rushed in from outside the door, "Brother, have you told the fairy sister the truth?"

When I saw the solemn look on his face, I knew that he had not once again chosen to conceal it or turn a blind eye and a deaf ear.

She was immediately disappointed and ran out of the room crying. Gu Lan noticed it and stood up but did not chase her out.

The next day, the guard informed him that Gu Yuqiao had disappeared, "!!!"

He was so scared that he searched everywhere she usually appeared and found that she was indeed gone. However, he found a note in her room, "Brother, don't make the wrong decision again."

"Quick, send someone out to find Qiao Er's whereabouts"

He fell weakly on a stool beside him with his hands trembling slightly, and then he rushed out of the room as if he had a change of heart or suddenly remembered something.

Mu Huayan didn't expect Gu Lan to figure it out so quickly and tell the truth one by one. The two of them met in an inn to discuss it in detail.

"Lu Ci, the City Lord of Ziyou City, has been captured. He is imprisoned in the prison of the City Lord's Mansion and his life or death is unknown."

"Of the two cities on Beiyao Continent, only my city is defending. I don't know what the current situation of Ziyou City is, but it should have been controlled by the people of Chuyun Imperial Capital."

Mu Huayan noticed that he was a little absent-minded and his speech was unclear. Coincidentally, the guards came to report that Gu Yuqiao's whereabouts had not been found.

"Miss Mu, we will discuss other matters tomorrow. I have some urgent matters to attend to. Bye."

Seeing him leaving in a panic, he followed him. On a certain street, Gu Lan was about to meet several guards.

From a distance, they were seen arguing and fighting with the guards of Chu Yundi. The guards in the inn nearby ordered some food but were unwilling to pay for it, wanting to eat a free meal.

The innkeeper stood at the door and cursed the guards for being shameless and said that they had not paid several times. "If you continue like this, my store will have to go bankrupt. If you don't pay the previous fees today, you can't leave!"

The guards picked their teeth with contempt on their faces. The anger in their eyes was enough to engulf the innkeeper. "Oh, you know, I have to pay for my consumption here? Do you know who we are, huh?"

The boss was completely enraged and shouted to his men to come forward and fight with weapons in hand, but was stopped by the guards. "Everyone, let's talk it out. It's just a few meals. It's not a big deal, right?"

As one of the red guards was about to ask the guard for the things he needed to pay the bill, he was kicked to the ground by the guard.

The guards showed their weapons one after another and said impatiently with violent expressions: "Get lost, I am a guard from the capital of Chu Yundi. If you want me to pay, you must not want to live anymore."

The owners of other clothing stores, snack shops, and wineries came out and surrounded them. "Old Qian, not only did we not receive the money from your store, we were also robbed by them!"

"Bah! You are from the capital of Chu Yundi, but you have such poor character and no sense of public morality. You bully girls in the city all day long. If I, Sanniang, don't vent my anger today, I will call you Bitch Sanniang!"

"We have long disliked you. Do you think people from the imperial capital are so great? Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have the support of that bastard emperor. Don't forget that this is the Beiyao Continent! It's not the Chuyun Imperial Capital where you can do whatever you want!"

Seeing so many people coming out, the guards not only did not restrain themselves but also shouted confidently: "Hahahaha, your city lord probably told you that Beiyao Continent will be the territory of our Chu Yun Imperial Capital sooner or later."

"You are a bunch of ignorant dogs. Keep barking. I will come to settle accounts with you after Beiyao Continent is taken over!"

They were about to walk out in a swagger, but were surrounded by the shop owners. The shop owners released their powerful auras.

"Hey, do you want to beat us down? We are just a few Daluo Jinxian realm cultivators. Who gave you the courage to challenge us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, ten guards released their own auras one after another. They were basically masters of the middle realm. When the innkeepers noticed it, their hair stood on end.

Although the three guards were also in the middle realm, they were outnumbered and were no match for the enemy. At the moment, the enemy was strong and we were at a disadvantage.

The atmosphere was extremely tense, and suddenly a voice interrupted their tense situation, "What happened?"

When the people saw Gu Lan coming, they were delighted and no longer afraid. After the guard briefly explained the matter to him,

Everyone thought that Gu Lan would teach these bullies a lesson after he arrived, but Gu Lan just forced himself to apologize to them.

"I am Gu Lan, the Lord of Cangyun City. Please don't be angry with them. It's just a few meals. I will pay for them."

"Humph, finally someone who understands the situation has come. See, this is magnanimity, hahahaha..."

The guards' laughter was full of irony, and the people gnashed their teeth and clenched their fists. If they indulged them a few times, they would do it a hundred times.

If this continues, they will not stop but will become more arrogant. Seeing the city lord forbearing again and again, some people could not help but stand up and curse the guards.

"you wanna die!"

The guard stepped forward and knocked several people to the ground with a palm. They vomited blood and looked horrified. Gu Lan clenched his fists in his sleeves but remained indifferent.

Seeing that the guards were completely enraged and were about to attack, he stepped forward to stop them. However, he did not hit them but apologized kindly, "Please show mercy, I will definitely persuade them after I go back."

"City Lord!"

Several guards wanted to step forward but were stopped by Gu Lan's gesture. Seeing this, the guards smiled disdainfully.

The onlookers were filled with hatred. The devil was clearly before their eyes, but they could do nothing about it. However, Gu Lan would rather bow and apologize than seek justice for them.

Obviously they did nothing wrong, the ones who were wrong were the evil guards, but Gu Lan had to be so humble to appease the enemy.

There was a strong smell of gunpowder in the air, but he was unable to harm the enemy and could only silently endure the rage.

"City Lord Gu is really a man of integrity. I have a new respect for you!"

A shadow walked out from a space. It was Mu Huayan, who had hidden her aura and transformed into another form. Gu Lan knew who the person was and his face was gloomy but he didn't say anything.

The guards noticed the strong aura fluctuations and looked at Mu Huayan vigilantly with their weapons in hand.

They felt that the person coming was not simple and took two steps at a time to escape, "Did I allow you to leave?"
