Inside the Thousand Taste Herb Hall.
When Gong Xing received this piece of information, his eyes and mouth widened. Most of the time, his mind was blank.
Only endless shock was left in his heart.
He kept shaking himself.
"If the chief knows about this, he probably won't have the heart to open a branch. This Li Zongjiu … Where did he come from?"
Gong Xing let out a long sigh in his heart.
Lu Manxuan had already gone to Luoxia City and seemed to be trying her best to build a relationship and platform with the Li family.
With the reputation and strength of the Thousand Taste Herb Hall, this wasn't a problem. However, such a serious matter was hard to estimate and believe.
"Elder Gong, what's the matter?"
Looking at Gong Xing's worried face, a voice sounded in front of him.
"Miss, you're here. Do you still remember Li Zongjiu from last time?"
Gong Xing saw the person who came and stood up.
It seemed that the identity of the girl wasn't simple.
If Li Zongjiu was here, he might be able to recognize her. The girl in front of him was the apprentice pharmacist who received him the last time he came here.
However, the identity card on the girl's chest had been updated.
Beginner pharmacist.
She was no longer an apprentice pharmacist, but a true beginner pharmacist.
Although she had just started, she was obviously very happy and proud to be able to obtain this honor.
"Li Zongjiu. Remember? Didn't he kill Ao Yong?"
"Fortunately, Ao Yong didn't have any background. Otherwise, this troublemaker wouldn't have been able to escape."
The girl wrinkled her nose slightly and said.
Fortunately, Li Zongjiu escaped quickly. Otherwise, Li Zongjiu would have been caught by the law enforcement team.
After all, this was a city. If the City Lord died and the people below did nothing, the consequences would be embarrassing. Where would the dignity of the dynasty be? Who would dare to take up the position of City Lord in the future?
If even one's life wasn't guaranteed, wouldn't it be quite dangerous?
"What trouble did he get into this time?"
The young girl asked.
"The newly appointed City Lord, Zhang Yu, died tonight. Someone saw Li Zongjiu enter the City Lord Mansion with the patriarchs of the three major families."
Gong Xing said in a deep voice.
The appearance of such a situation also made people scratch their heads in confusion.
The power of the three great families in the city was not to be ignored by the Thousand Taste Herb Hall.
But with the appearance of this unknown brat, he directly mobilized the power of the three great clans to force the Palace?
There must be some inside story.
As for the specifics, they would naturally have to investigate further before they could find out.
Although the Thousand Taste Cottage was not small, it was not a professional intelligence agency. If it was the Rain Tower, it would be operating all day long.
The situation here must have already spread to the Rain Pavilion.
It was also recorded down.
"This guy?
Take control of the three great clans!? "
"That bastard Zhang Yu is dead?
It's good that you're dead, haha. "
The young girl did not care about Zhang Yu's death. Instead, she cared about Li Zongjiu. She was very interested in this Li Zongjiu.
"Elder, can you temporarily suppress this matter? Don't spread it out so quickly."
The young girl looked at Elder Gong Xing and said.
.
Elder Gong Xing was also stunned. What did she mean? Could it be that the young miss wanted to help this troublemaker?
This idea could be said to be very dangerous.
But looking at the young girl's eyes, Elder Gong Xing found it hard to refuse.
"Young miss, this … if the old master knows about this, he will be furious …" Gong Xing said.
Helplessly, he could only bring up the old master. Otherwise, there was really no way to refuse this matter.
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems on my father's side. Elder Gong might even make a contribution."
The young girl blinked and said.
Obviously, the young girl's identity was not simple. She came to Northern Medicine City for an internship and at the same time, came to visit Lu Manxuan. After all, she had a good relationship with Lu Manxuan, so she came here quietly. Not many people in the entire Thousand Taste Cottage knew about this young girl's identity.
The young girl insisted. Although Gong Xing was unwilling, he had to do it.
After all, this young girl was considered half the owner of Thousand Taste Cottage. He had to listen to her words.
With the reputation of the Thousand Flavors Herb Hall and Gong Xing's own strength and status, it was not difficult for him to make a few greetings and cover up a little in the city's judicial organs and the like.
This matter was secretly suppressed by a mysterious person.
Moreover, the three great clans and the City Lord's Mansion's guard commander cooperated with each other. This matter was weakened.
On the other hand, it was weakened quite well.
After all, the dead were already dead.
Only those who survived would be able to grasp the situation.
Li Zongjiu did not know about this situation, nor did he know that Thousand Taste Cottage had a hand in it.
Anyway, he let the three great clans do this just to delay some time.
The next day, the martial law in the city was naturally lifted.
Li Zongjiu came to the relay station, took back his horse, and headed in the direction of Thousand Horse City.
Thousand Horse City was located in a relatively hidden location. If one had not been there, it was very likely that one would get lost or even die on the road.
On the ancient yellow sand road, one could see a series of clearly visible horseshoe camps extending into the distance.
However, when the wind blew, the sand would cover the footprints. If one did not bring any equipment to distinguish the direction, they would not be able to get out of here and would get lost in this small desert.
In fact, this was just a dry riverbed. As the trees and water flowed, the soil gradually turned into flying sand, forming such a spacious area.
The temperature here was quite terrifying. It was enough to let people feel the horror of living here.
After passing through this yellow sand land, Li Zongjiu came in front of a dense forest.
Just as he was about to enter the dense forest, he stopped.
He turned around and glanced at the sandstorm that was blowing behind him.
"It's the same as before. There's no change."
Li Zongjiu said faintly, thinking in his heart. However, when Li Zongjiu stepped into the dense forest.
Suddenly, a few whistling sounds could be heard coming from the dense forest.
Xiu Xiu!
Two sharp arrows accurately fell half a meter in front of Li Zongjiu.
"Stop, who are you?!"
A group of people wearing cloth clothes and headscarves emerged from the forest and immediately surrounded Li Zongjiu.
Based on the way these people dressed, those who did not know would think that they were local villagers or hunters.
However, these people's uniform movements and resolute eyes made it clear that these people were actually soldiers!
Then, a short man wearing a black checkered gown and carrying a long stick on his shoulder walked out from the depths of the forest.
"Boy, are you lost or kidnapped? Go back to where you came from. This is not a place for you!
Otherwise, I'll destroy your bird and kill you! "
The short man glared at Li Zongjiu and said fiercely. At the same time, he also looked between Li Zongjiu's legs. The threat was not concealed at all!
"I'm here to look for your City Lord."
Li Zongjiu said.
In his previous life, Li Zongjiu had also wandered to this place. If one were to calculate the time, it was probably around this time when he accidentally broke into the boundary of Thousand Horse City. At that time, he knew that there was a city hidden in this inconspicuous place.
Moreover, at that time, he thought that he had entered a den of thieves.
After all, there were private armed forces in this place. Moreover, it was full of vigilance against the outside world. Ordinary people could not get close to this place.
Looking for the City Lord?!
When they heard Li Zongjiu's words, the short man and the others' eyes suddenly sharpened. They stared at Li Zongjiu with murderous eyes, wanting to see something from Li Zongjiu's body.
"Take him down!"
The short man said without hesitation.
Suddenly, the people around him rushed towards Li Zongjiu!
