C266 Going to the City Lord's Mansion
"So that's how it is. Wealth is indeed a double-edged sword that can bring happiness and disaster." Ding Hao said with emotion.
"You know what happened after that. I was taken in by the village chief. I have been living a life of hunting in the village." Shen Yue said.
"These animals did such a thing for money. Do you know which families were involved in it?" Ding Hao asked.
"I have sneaked into Black Iron City many times over the years. I found out that other than the Xing Family, there was also the shadow of the City Lord Palace behind those families." Shen Yue's face was grim, and flames were burning in her eyes as she said in a cold voice.
"What Cultivation is the City Lord of the City Lord Palace?" Ding Hao asked curiously.
"Peak Houtian realm." Shen Yue's expression changed. She took a deep breath and said.
A calm expression appeared on Ding Hao's face. His mouth was slightly open as he said in a flat tone, "City Lord, can you order the Xing Family Patriarch?"
Shen Yue was slightly stunned when she saw Ding Hao's indifferent expression. She didn't know what he was thinking.
"Of course. The Imperial Family has the biggest influence in the Rising Sun Country. The city lords can control all the forces in the city. If anyone doesn't listen to the arrangement, that person will be going against the royal family. In less than a day, he will be eliminated by the experts sent by the royal family. " Shen Yue explained.
Ding Hao's eyes slightly rolled as he muttered, "If that is the case, then we will not go to the Xing Family."
Shen Yue's eyes flashed with disappointment when she heard Ding Hao's words. Her expression was a little dark as she said self-deprecatingly in her heart, "That's right. Since he knows that the Xing Family has the backing of the city master, I'm sure you won't avenge me. It's all my fault for being so self-righteous."
Just as Shen Yue's emotions were complicated and her heart was hesitating, a voice entered her ears and resounded in her mind.
"Let's go directly to the City Lord's Mansion and ask for help. The City Lord of the Xing Family will be taken care of in one fell swoop. This will save us a lot of trouble." Ding Hao said casually. A satisfied expression appeared on his face, as if he was proud of his wise decision.
"The Prefecture wants someone? The Prefecture is heavily guarded. Ordinary people can't enter. Moreover, the City Lord is a peak Houtian expert. You are no match for him." Shen Yue looked anxious and hurriedly said.
" Don't worry. I will definitely ensure your safety. The City Lord will definitely not harm a single hair of yours. " Ding Hao's eyes revealed a determined look as he spoke slowly.
"Even if you are confident in defeating the City Lord, he still has the royal family behind him. It is not a wise decision to make the entire Rising Sun Country your enemy by yourself." Shen Yue shook her head and said.
"Lead the way." Ding Hao did not reply her directly, but said resolutely and decisively.
Shen Yue saw Ding Hao's firm and confident eyes, and her heart began to waver. She had some expectations for him.
According to what the village chief said, he was very likely a person from the outer domain. His background was definitely not simple. Could it be that it was really like this?
"What are you waiting for? Lead the way." Ding Hao said.
Shen Yue trembled and subconsciously listened to Ding Hao's words. She quickly ran forward and led the way for Ding Hao.
A huge iron plaque was placed on top of the Black Iron City's city gate. There were three big and powerful words on it: "Black Iron City."
The Prefecture was located on the east side of the city. The east side was the most expensive part of the city. A row of courtyards were neatly arranged in a row. In a room inside the Prefecture, a fat middle-aged man was wearing a black robe. At this moment, a man with heavy makeup and a nice figure was kneeling beside his feet. A sexy woman wearing black clothes.
He had spent a lot of effort to get this woman from the patriarch of Lin Family. Now that he could finally taste the delicious food, how could he not be excited?
The fat middle-aged man's eyes shone with a scorching light. Just as he was about to reach out his hand to touch the girl and undo her belt, a loud shout was heard.
"City Lord, it's bad!"
"D * mn, didn't I say before that if the sky doesn't collapse, don't call me? Leave it to Yang Chao." The fat middle-aged man's face sank as he coldly shouted.
"Someone has broken into the City Lord's Mansion!" The housekeeper rushed into the room in panic and fell to the ground. He quickly got up and shouted.
"Who dares to break into my City Lord's Mansion? Ask Instructor Yang to deal with him." The fat middle-aged man said angrily.
"Instructor Yang was knocked unconscious." The butler said anxiously.
The fat middle-aged man was slightly shocked. Yang Chao was the strongest person in the prefecture apart from himself, and his Cultivation had reached the middle Houtian realm. He didn't expect that Yang Chao would be knocked out by someone.
"Could it be that an Innate Stage Expert has come? I wonder who in the prefecture has provoked such a person. How annoying!" The fat middle-aged man quickly put on his clothes and cursed in a low voice.
After that, the City Lord and the butler left the place and walked towards the entrance.
Before they reached the door, the City Lord saw Ding Hao standing not far away from him.
"Who are you?" The City Lord asked with a puzzled expression.
He thought it would be an Innate Stage Expert, but it turned out to be a young man.
"Those who are looking for you, go to your room and have a chat." Ding Hao looked at the fat middle-aged man with interest and said.
The City Lord had a doubtful expression. He really couldn't guess the background of this young man. The background of a genius was definitely not simple. It would be terrible if he rashly made a move and caused a huge trouble.
Suddenly, an idea flashed across his mind. He muttered in his heart, "Could it be that he is a member of the Imperial Family and that they already know about the ore mine?"
"Please come in." The city lord said.
Ding Hao was stunned by the fat middle-aged man's reaction. He didn't show any signs of anger after causing such a huge ruckus in the City Lord's Mansion. Instead, he asked Ding Hao to come in.
Shen Yue and the butler were also dumbfounded. They had no idea what the City Lord was thinking.
Ding Hao followed the fat middle-aged man into a room. The books in the room were arranged neatly. It was obviously the study room of this man.
In the room, besides Ding Hao, Shen Yue was the City Lord. The City Lord looked at Ding Hao's body and found that he was wearing gorgeous clothes. Clearly, he was not an ordinary person.
"I don't know which prince has arrived, but Lu Guan did not welcome him from afar. Please forgive me." The City Lord bowed slightly and said.
Ding Hao was slightly stunned. Even he was a little dumbfounded. But since that was the case, he decided to play along with the plan. He said angrily, "You are smart. I am here to punish you. Do you know what you have done wrong?"
Lu Guan's facial expression changed. Suddenly, he said angrily, "His Majesty doesn't have any children. Who exactly are you? How dare you barge into the city lord's mansion? What crime do you deserve?"
"What the hell? Is there a problem with the Emperor? He doesn't have any children." Ding Hao was speechless. He cursed in his heart.
