The City Governor's Mansion of Northern Medicine City.
The news of the Northern Medicine Tower being broken into and the iron stone sealing the door quickly spread to the City Governor's Mansion of Northern Medicine City.
The City Governor, Ao Yong, used to be a bandit tyrant in the surrounding area.
Later on, the dynasty recruited Ao Yong to take up the position of City Lord.
It was because Ao Yong's strength had reached the peak of the Yuan General level and he had four Grade Nine Yuan Generals under his command.
If such a lineup really wanted to cause trouble in the dynasty, it would cause a lot of trouble. The dynasty was in need of people. Since Ao Yong had something to talk about, they would sit down and have a good talk.
The matter of enlistment was already five years ago.
In the past five years, Ao Yong had also lost the courage and impulsiveness of his youth. Now that he was the City Lord, there were many people who flattered him. Most of the time, he didn't need to deal with things himself. Naturally, there would be people who would help him deal with it.
So when Ao Yong heard the news.
He didn't care at all and just waved his hand.
"Since the Northern Medicine Tower wants to clean it up themselves, let them do it themselves. Clean up the surrounding six blocks and don't hurt the civilians. In addition, inform the city guards to maintain law and order. Everything else will be as usual."
Ao Yong said indifferently.
This 1.9 meters tall man sitting in front of the narrow desk looked quite out of place.
His hands should be carrying a giant axe and hacking the heaven and earth. But now, they were clean and he liked to drink tea.
Ao Yong also knew about the Northern Medicine Alliance.
These days, they sent a lot of things to him so that he, the City Governor, could take a look. Some things were left to the Northern Medicine Alliance to deal with.
Although Ao Yong was a City Governor, he didn't have a strong background.
However, in this dynasty, there wasn't much of a strong background. They could only rely on their own means.
So Ao Yong was naturally willing to make friends with the Northern Medicine Alliance.
After all, it would be good for both sides if they were on good terms.
"I heard that a group of country bumpkins came to seek revenge. How funny. What do they think my Northern Medicine City is?"
Ao Yong smiled as he drank his tea.
Behind Ao Yong, there were always two guards following behind him.
Ao Yong had a total of four Grade Nine Prime General-level powerhouses, who took turns to guard Ao Yong's side.
After all, when he was a bandit in the past, it could be said that he had made countless enemies. Over the years, he had never let his guard down.
After the Northern Medicine Tower dealt with these country bumpkins, they would slowly clean up the scene. As for how the crime scene report would be written, it would be up to Ao Yong to decide.
"This Pu 'er tea is indeed fragrant. I've been living too leisurely these days. I'm afraid that the imperial court is already wary of me. Once the world stabilizes, how can people with criminal records like us not be kicked out?"
Ao Yong also saw it very clearly.
Previously, Fu Chunlei had already mentioned the Qingyuan Villa.
Ao Yong also knew that this might be a turning point for him. Otherwise, according to the development trend of this peaceful world, he might not be able to last for a few years.
"I have to be prepared!"
Ao Yong was carefully tasting the Pu 'er tea that was offered by the people below.
It was late at night.
The person who reported the situation had only been here for half an hour.
Soon, another piece of information was presented to him.
What could be done in half an hour? The front and back streets had just been sealed off. Could it be that the battle was already over?
The enemy this time was not good. How could they be defeated so quickly?
"City Lord, bad news. The Northern Medicine Tower was massacred. The leader of the Northern Medicine Alliance, Fu Chunlei, was shot in the head!"
The communication officer who came to report was extremely shocked.
When he heard about this, he still couldn't believe it. He even personally went to the Northern Medicine Tower to find out what was going on.
His legs were almost paralyzed on the spot. If it were not for the help of the servants, he would not have been able to walk.
He did not come out so calmly.
As soon as he left the Northern Medicine Tower, he came to report to City Lord Ao Yong at the fastest speed.
"What?
Say it again?
Did I hear it wrong or did you say it wrong? "
Ao Yong's eyes suddenly became gloomy and fierce as he stared at the communication officer before him.
"The Northern Medicine Tower was massacred. A total of 37 people were killed, including the newly appointed leader, Fu Chunlei!"
When Ao Yong heard this accurate report, he immediately stood up.
"Take me to the scene!"
The leader of the Northern Medicine Alliance had been killed in his own territory. How could such a thing happen? As the City Lord of the Northern Medicine City, he naturally had to give an explanation.
Most importantly, Ao Yong also needed to know whether his things were ready.
Fu Chunlei had previously promised to prepare a grade-four elixir pill for him to break through to the Sky Origin Ancestor Realm. These two days were supposed to be the day of the transaction, but who would have thought that this would happen?
The hope of a breakthrough had been right in front of him, but it had been snatched away in the blink of an eye.
How could Ao Yong tolerate this?
After killing his way out, he had to get to the bottom of this matter.
"Give the order to lock down the entire city. No one is allowed to go out. Only entry is allowed!"
Ao Yong immediately gave the order. The city guards hurriedly raised their torches and rushed to the top of the city wall. The city gates were tightly locked.
Countless crossbows were aimed at the streets leading out of the city.
In order to prevent thieves from escaping, an open space and passage would be set aside between the city walls and the residents of the main city.
This way, it would be convenient to lock down the entrances and exits of the city. Secondly, it would be a good defense in case a Yuan Beast attacked. Although the cost of the construction was relatively high, it was still considered a perfect defense facility.
Rumble!
The city gates were shut.
Ao Yong led his men into the Northern Medicine Tower, which was filled with the smell of blood.
The fresh blood on the ground had already become viscous. When he arrived at the sixth level, he felt a sinister chill. The remaining cold aura in the surroundings caused Ao Yong to furrow his brows.
"Judging from the aura left behind, the strength of the person who did this is not below mine!"
Ao Yong felt the cold aura left behind by the old man and was shocked.
After all, the old man's identity had always been hidden in the dark and had never stood out.
Therefore, Ao Yong did not know of the old man's existence. In addition, he had already been sucked into a pile of waste by Li Zongjiu.
In such a bloody scene, who would notice that there was a dead person here?
A total of thirty-eight people died.
This was simply a massacre. In the eyes of ordinary people, it was unacceptable.
,
"This matter is quite tricky …"
Ao Yong frowned.
The other party was able to destroy the Northern Medicine Tower in such a short period of time. The experts from the two sects were already very difficult to deal with. However, the other party seemed to have directly ignored them.
This was clearly a way to crush them.
This made Ao Yong fearful.
"Is there anything missing from the Medicine Storage Pavilion?"
Ao Yong asked.
"No, nothing is missing …"
"City Lord, the elders from the Northern Medicine Alliance want to come in. We can't hold them off."
One of his subordinates came forward to report.
Although the Alliance Chief and some guards were dead, there were still many alchemists in the Northern Medicine Alliance. These people's qualifications were not below Fu Chunlei's. If they moved their fingers, they could cause a storm.
"Take away all the elixirs and herbs in the Medicine Storage Pavilion."
Ao Yong said to a personal guard beside him. A glint flashed across the guard's eyes and he immediately understood. He turned around and headed towards the Medicine Storage Pavilion. After all, this place had already been reduced to such a state. It was normal for some things to be missing.
Even after becoming the City Lord, Ao Yong did not change his bad habit of being a robber. However, even if he took away all the herbs and elixirs now, no one would suspect him. No one would dare to suspect him!
Gaozhuang Restaurant.
Li Zongjiu and his group each booked a room in the inn and washed off the stench of blood on their bodies.
Then, they ordered a table of dishes and gathered together to eat and drink.
