They drank and chatted for a while.

Everyone was enjoying themselves, singing and dancing, and completely forgot about their business.

Zhang Xianling kept smiling throughout the whole process, constantly playing with the wine glass in his hand, and glancing at the gate of the post station from time to time, as if he was waiting for something.

as predicted--

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was enjoying themselves.

A group of tall, uninvited guests suddenly visited, and as soon as they entered the door, they slammed the long swords in their hands to the ground.

Bang~~

The huge noise immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned around to look, and they were suddenly stunned.

The pitch-black armor was extremely conspicuous, almost covering the entire body of the future man.

The leading monk was nine feet tall, and the broadsword in his hand shone with a captivating luster in the sunlight. His every move seemed to possess the power of a dragon and an elephant.

"It's the Tiger Guards!"

"No way, these are the people under the command of the eldest son."

"Why are these killers suddenly coming to the post station?!"

"Needless to ask? They must be here to cause trouble for us. I guess it has something to do with the insufficient number of spirit stones they handed over..."

Everyone's heart sank.

They all looked at Zhang Xianling immediately. After all, he was the commander of the Lingyunfeng mining area.

"Who is Zhang Xianling?!" the leading heavily armored monk asked bluntly.

"I am."

He raised his eyebrows.

Zhang Xianling was calm and unhurried, saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, what can I do for you?"

Ss ...

He suddenly lifted up the heavy weapon.

The leading monk in heavy armor raised his broadsword and said in a straightforward tone, "On the orders of the eldest master, we have come here to invite you to our residence. Come with us!"

As soon as these words came out.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became solemn.

"To a banquet...to what banquet?"

Unexpectedly.

Shen Tuyu, who was always afraid of trouble, was the first to stand up. He bravely said coldly: "Can't you see that we have wine and meat here? My brother is very busy, so how can he have the time to go to your place..."

Hear the words.

The heavily armored monk didn't hesitate. He swung his broadsword and pointed it at everyone, threatening them, "Stop talking nonsense and come with us. Otherwise, today we'll show you, a bunch of scum from the mining area, the methods of the Tiger Guards!"

next moment--

The guards from the Lingyun Peak mining area stood up one after another, showing no sign of backing down, and glared fiercely at the heavily armored monks in front of the gate.

The two sides are on the verge of a fight if they disagree.

"Okay, everyone sit down..."

Suddenly.

Zhang Xianling suddenly raised his hand and pressed it lightly, signaling everyone not to be too impulsive.

"What are you doing? Didn't you hear that they invited me to a banquet? They didn't come here specifically to arrest me. There's no need to make things difficult for the brothers of the Tiger Guards."

See this.

The guards then reluctantly let down their guard, but they scared the stationmaster of the nearby post station half to death.

Both sides are armed forces affiliated with "Haoqi City".

Once the fighting breaks out, his small post station will not be able to withstand the impact and will be razed to the ground.

"It's hard to refuse such a kind offer..."

grin.

Zhang Xianling's expression was calm, and he said with a relaxed look, "It's rare that the eldest young master has such a refined taste, so I will go with you on this journey!"

"Senior Brother..." Shen Tu Yu hesitated to speak, still a little worried.

"It doesn't matter."

He pushed Shen Tu Yu back to his original position.

Zhang Xianling deliberately raised his voice and laughed loudly, "The eldest master is a respectable man. He just wants to get together. Is he trying to plot against me?"

That’s all I have to say.

The faces of all the Tiger Guards looked a little unhappy. After hearing what Zhang Xianling said in public, if Nangong Wu really wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of him, it would not be easy to do so.

"Relax, everything is under control..."

He patted Shentu Yu on the shoulder.

Zhang Xianling whispered to himself, "Look at the brothers. It doesn't matter if they drink and have fun. Don't let them cause trouble. I'm going to meet Nangong Wu to lay the foundation for our next plan..."

He was suddenly startled.

Having followed Zhang Xianling for such a long time, Shen Tu Yu had already developed a certain tacit understanding with him. He nodded silently and stopped trying to stop him.

He also casually spoke a few words to the guards under his command.

Zhang Xianling did not delay any longer and left the post station hall with the Huben Imperial Guards with great ease.

Walk out the door.

It was already dusk outside, but the number of monks walking on the street did not decrease. Instead, it became more lively.

All the shops and taverns were decorated with lights and countless rays of light flew back and forth in the air, creating a grand spectacle of blooming flowers.

"Wow, it's so lively at night..."

He was guarded in the middle by the Tiger Guards in front and behind.

Zhang Xianling always felt like a prisoner, but he was still unforgiving and said sarcastically, "The Nangong family is indeed well-deserved. They manage such an orderly city. No wonder so many people are willing to work for them."

"To each other..."

The leading burly man narrowed his eyes and sneered, "If we're talking about risking our lives, the Lingyun Peak mining area is truly a place of bitter cold. It's not easy to take root there."

There was a hint of sarcasm in his words.

Several Tiger Guards immediately burst into laughter, seeming to be very disdainful of the defenders of the mining area.

Smile.

Zhang Xianling didn't take it to heart. To him, Lingyun Peak was just a temporary place to stay, and there was no need to get too hung up on it.

The group had a smooth journey, and passers-by avoided them wherever they went, for fear of offending the Tiger Guards.

Enough to be visible.

The monks under the eldest son are not easy to deal with. Although they have some prestige in the city, they are mostly notorious.

Soon——

A magnificent attic building suddenly appeared not far away.

Look around.

As night falls, high-rise buildings with red walls and golden tiles are stacked up layer by layer, and the copper bells under the eaves sway gently, making crisp and pleasant sounds.

This is the residence of the Nangong family in Haoqi City.

He raised his eyebrows.

He glanced at the huge plaque above the attic with the words "Nangong" engraved on it.

Zhang Xianling couldn't help but be amazed. The scale of this place was so grand that it was no different from the inner courtyard of the imperial palace.

Rather than being the headquarters of a cultivation family, it is more like a totem symbolizing the highest power in Haoqi City.

Rumble...

The leading Tiger Guard nodded to the guards in front of the door.

The heavy door opened immediately.

Inside the palace, the lights were still dim.

Large numbers of imperial guards and maids could be seen everywhere, all busy with their tasks.

"You, come with me."

The leading Tiger Guard was serious and left the others to guard the gate, and took Zhang Xianling into a small formation alone.

"Is this... a teleportation array?" Zhang Xianling asked in surprise.

"The Patriarch's residence is so huge."

A smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The Tiger Guards leading the way said coldly, "If you try to find the way yourself, you won't be able to reach the eldest young master until tomorrow morning. These formations are set up to facilitate travel. There's no need to make such a fuss."

He frowned.

Zhang Xianling suddenly felt a bit awkward.

The original idea of ​​taking the opportunity to find the Nangong family ancestral hall immediately disappeared. It seemed that wanting to sneak into the ancestral hall was just a pipe dream.

I must find a way to make the Nangong family willingly take me there.

But this is easier said than done, and we can only take a long-term view.

A buzzing sound~~~

Caught off guard.

As the Tiger Guards in front of them made hand gestures, dazzling lights appeared on the ground beneath their feet, instantly enveloping the two of them.

The passage of time and the change of the world.

After a moment of trance, the two slowly stood still and found themselves in front of a tall attic.

"Here we are. Follow me."

The heavy armor made a rustling sound.

The Tiger Guards before him had a serious expression, their eyes full of vigilance. They raised their hands and said, "The eldest master has been waiting for you for a long time."
