This immortal has a lot of rebelliousness

Hear the words.

Zhang Xianling was not surprised at all, and it could even be said that he had expected it.

But I didn't expect Nangong Wu to be so impatient and come so quickly.

"understood."

He glanced at Wei Yinhong who was sleeping on the bed.

Zhang Xianling quickly responded, "Please make a pot of good tea and ask that Taoist Zheng to wait outside for a while. I'll wash up and come out to see him later."

Hear the words.

The postman responded quickly, turned around and went downstairs to get busy.

Let out a long sigh.

Zhang Xianling made a prompt decision, patted Shen Tuyu on the shoulder, and said, "I have something important to do right now, so I'll leave this woman in your care. Listen carefully, no matter what, do not let anyone else know that she's in my bed!"

He was suddenly startled.

Shentu Yu was speechless. Seeing Zhang Xianling's serious look, he could only nod his head repeatedly.

Narrow your eyes.

Zhang Xianling straightened his clothes, carefully pushed open the door and stepped out, and immediately put on a drunken expression again.

"Hey, Master Zheng~!"

Staggering down the stairs.

Zhang Xianling stumbled all the way, looking like a drunkard. He walked up and gave the confused Zheng Taoist a bear hug.

"I'm sorry for disturbing Commander Zhang's rest..."

froze in place.

Taoist Zheng was so upset that he could only let Zhang Xianling mess around with him.

But he had important tasks to attend to, so no matter how unhappy he was, he had to endure it.

"Uh, why are you drinking tea?"

He glanced at the tea prepared by the postman on the table.

Zhang Xianling frowned and said indignantly, "You damned dog slave, this is simply outrageous! It's a rare opportunity for you, Taoist Zheng, to visit us. Even if we don't have good wine and good food, we can't treat you with this kind of stuff!"

He pushed Taoist Zheng back to his seat.

Zhang Xianling rolled up his sleeves, turned around and said fiercely, "Just wait, I'll go get some wine and food!"

“No, no, no…”

He quickly stood up and grabbed Zhang Xianling.

Taoist Zheng's face was full of black lines, and he was already complaining in his heart.

He had drunk countless rounds of drinks throughout the day.

Although the monks have a special physique, it is not a big deal to drink like this!

"Commander Zhang, please don't go to such trouble..."

He dragged and pulled Zhang Xianling to the table.

Taoist Zheng wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve, poured a cup of hot tea for Zhang Xianling himself, and said with a wry smile, "Tea is good, just think of it as a way to sober up."

"not to mention......"

Sit down slowly.

Taoist Zheng's eyes were penetrating, and he changed the subject, saying, "For what we're going to discuss next, it's best to stay awake."

Startled slightly.

Zhang Xianling's eyes gradually became clearer, but he continued to play dumb and asked, "Is there such a thing? I'd like to hear the details!"

Late at night.

The two of them sat opposite each other, brewing tea and smiling at each other under the dim light.

The scene was so weird that it made people feel a little creepy.

"Is such that......"

Put down the tea cup.

Taoist Zheng smiled slightly and asked tentatively, "I think Commander Zhang is a very talented person. Have you ever thought about your future?"

"Isn't it good now?"

Shrug his shoulders.

Zhang Xianling pretended not to know what he meant, shaking his head and saying, "Everyone in the Lingyun Peak mining area is under my jurisdiction. I am second only to one person and above ten thousand people. I am already very satisfied."

He shook his head silently.

With an enigmatic look, Taoist Zheng closed his eyes and sighed softly, "Forgive me for being blunt, but Lingyun Peak is a bitterly cold place. Even though Commander Zhang holds a high position of power there, it would be of no benefit to your cultivation."

"The Three Realms and Four Continents value outstanding individuals and beautiful places above all else. If we remain isolated in a corner, our cultivation will only stagnate, and our vitality will eventually wither. By then, our dreams will be in vain."

"hehe."

Hear the words.

Zhang Xianling played with the teacup and said absentmindedly, "Master, if you have something to say, please speak directly. I have little patience and I hate talking in silent language the most."

"In that case, let's not mince words..."

His eyes are as bright as a torch.

Taoist Zheng's eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice, "My eldest son values ​​talent and thinks the commander is a hero, so he wants to recruit him."

"I believe the commander is also aware that the Nangong family is now in a period of change. Given time, the person who can take over the entire Haoqi City family business will undoubtedly be the eldest son."

There was a pause.

Taoist Zheng stroked his beard and said confidently, "As the saying goes, a wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in..."

"Commander Zhang is a thoughtful person, he must understand the logic behind this. Why not abandon the dark side and join the light side as soon as possible? At least you can leave a bright future for yourself."

Having said that,

The other party's intentions are already obvious. They simply want to instigate Zhang Xianling to defect to Nangong Yan and secretly control the entire mining area for Nangong Wu.

In this regard.

Zhang Xianling had already made up his mind that everything he did after arriving in Haoqi City was to highlight his own importance.

But he never thought about being loyal to anyone from the beginning, and he actually always had his own plans in mind.

"Master, this is wrong."

He raised his eyebrows.

Zhang Xianling grinned and shook his head, "Who says that the eldest son will definitely be the heir to Haoqi City and the Nangong family in the future?"

He pondered for a moment.

Zhang Xianling said bluntly, "You know, the old city lord has many children. Even if he passes away, it's still clear who will win."

As soon as these words came out.

Taoist Zheng was silent for a while, then filled the empty teacup on the table. He said slowly, "I understand what Commander Zhang means..."

He placed a cup of hot tea in front of Zhang Xianling.

Taoist Zheng's eyes were determined as he continued, "It's nothing more than hesitating, trying to decide who is worthy of entrusting. While it's a safe bet, it will also cost you advantages and opportunities."

He drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

Taoist Zheng spoke calmly, "Although the old city lord has many children, only three of them are qualified to inherit the city lord position."

"The Second Young Master is a man of profound intelligence, and over the years he has recruited many of the city's cultivators. However, his greatest problem lies precisely in this: he is too vindictive, fierce in appearance but timid, and prone to indecisiveness. He cherishes his life when undertaking great undertakings, but forgets his own life when it comes to small gains!"

Smiling and shaking his head.

Taoist Zheng commented, "Such a person is definitely not a wise leader."

"As for the Third Young Master, he has great ambitions, but he is frail and has accumulated very little in the city. Once the old city lord passes away, he will lose his protection. Even if he is a legitimate son, he will probably be eliminated in advance."

He looked at Zhang Xianling meaningfully.

Taoist Zheng frowned and advised, "If Commander Zhang follows this man, he will surely be implicated. Wouldn't that be like throwing a pearl away in the dark?"
