Chapter 340 Inside and outside the city

In the jungle, the ape in golden armor was scolding the giant ape angrily: "I was just catching some birds and beasts, and you guys made trouble! What if Zhao Yushu saw us and he hid in the government office and didn't come out!"

The giant ape roared twice, and the first ape became even angrier: "The second ape knows his limits, and doesn't need your help. You are the only one among so many brothers who can't learn human language. You will be a beast your whole life!"

The giant ape slapped his chest fiercely and glared at Ape Da. Ape Eight and Ape Nine hurried over and said, "Ape Five is just on good terms with Ape Two. We're afraid that something might happen to him in the city, so we want to go check it out. We don't have any other ideas."

"Hey, yes, Ape Five is very stupid, Ape Big, don't bother with him."

Yuan Da snorted coldly: "If Lan Rong is provoked, let him deal with it himself."

Zhao Yushu sat behind a tree, silently listening to the conversation between several monkeys, and confirmed that Yuan Xiang was indeed Yuan Er. However, how a monkey became a human and how he inherited the Yuan family's business was not known for the time being.

And this group of monkeys really came to find him. From Ape Da to Ape Jiu, except Ape Er, there are only six of them here. I don't know where the other two have gone.

And they seemed to think that they were hiding in Lan Rong's government office. Why did they think so?

Zhao Yushu's mind raced, and he quickly figured out the key issue.

Someone told them that he had a good relationship with Lan Rong, and the person who knew the news was most likely a local tyrant. In other words, Yuan Er went into the city to contact the local tyrant.

There are more and more enemies of mine.

Zhao Yushu silently transformed into an Assassin, and he wanted to strike first and defeat these monkeys one by one.

Lan Rong frowned after listening to Lao Chen's report.

Zhao Yushu's reputation has been growing since he left Nanyang. After arriving in Jiangning, Lan Rong found out that this ordinary-looking but somewhat hot-blooded Zhao Yushu was actually the Sixth Master of the academy. He immediately felt a little regretful.

The sword strike to the southeast at Wangjiang Tower had already made Lan Rong look at Mr. Liu in a completely different light, and killing Wang Shaolin on the spot directly pushed him to the level of a deity in the eyes of the people.

At that time, Lan Rong sighed that it was a pity that he was such a good seedling but was still so impulsive.

As a result, when this guy arrived in Chang'an, he and his master killed the emperor, which directly led to the division of the world into three parts.

"The academy is full of lunatics!" Lan Rong came to this conclusion and secretly made up his mind that if he had the chance, he would never let his daughter have anything to do with him again.

And now this kid has actually run back to Nanyang.

Lan Rong knew with a guess that Zhao Yushu would most likely continue to move southwards. However, at this time, an incredibly powerful force was offering a bounty on him. If he did not take action, he would probably have a hard time surviving to reach the south of the Yangtze River.

Lan Rong frowned, relaxed, and frowned again, and finally slapped his thigh fiercely: "Call all the city gate officers who were on duty yesterday to come see me."

The city gate officers of the four cities in Nanyang came one after another, feeling a little uneasy. Nanyang has been under strict control in recent days. As a city gate officer, how could he be worthy of this official position if he did not take the opportunity to gain some benefits?

The prefect summoned me late at night, I wonder if he found out anything?

With great trepidation, the four city gate officers met Lan Rong in the back hall of the government office.

"I would like to ask you, how many monks entered the city yesterday?"

The four city gate officers looked at each other, and the one in charge of the east gate stepped forward and said, "My lord, I was in charge of the summary of the number of monks who entered the city yesterday after the city was closed."

Lan Rong nodded: "Are these people living around the government office?"

The East Gate official was stunned: "Yes, yes."

Lan Rong snorted coldly: "Get the roster!"

"Please forgive me, sir!" The four city gate officers knelt down hurriedly.

Seeing their expressions, Lan Rong was relieved. It seemed that Zhao Yushu had come to the city, but he just spent some money and was unwilling to live next to him.

"What about others?"

"Your subordinate, your subordinate does not know. Master Yuan left on his own."

"Second Master Yuan?"

The city gate officer looked up in surprise, and Lan Rong's heart suddenly began to lift.

All the big cities have warning formations, and no cultivator can enter or leave Nanyang silently. The only person who entered the city without registering is Xiangcheng Yuan Xiang. Lan Rong has also heard of this person, who is considered the local emperor of Xiangcheng.

Combined with what Zhu Yuan said to him today, Lan Rong was certain that this matter had something to do with Yuan Xiang.

Yuan Xiang himself is only at the fourth level, but he raises a very domineering giant ape. Zhao Yushu is only at the fifth level, so Yuan Xiang does have a chance.

Lan Rong paced back and forth for a few steps, then waved to the city gate officer and said, "Considering your hard work, I will only fine you your salary this time. If you do it again, the law will not forgive you. Go down and accept the punishment."

Several city gate officials left with many thanks. Lan Rong called Lao Chen over and asked, "Where did you and Zhu Yuan go today?"

"Daji Casino."

"understood."

Inside the Daji Casino, Yuan Xiang looked at the three people in front of him with a gloomy expression: "What do you mean, Zhao Yushu is not in the government office?"

"We used some tricks to get the list from the four city guards. There were a total of 17 monks who entered the city yesterday. Except for you, Master Yuan, none of the remaining 16 was named Zhao Yushu."

"Nonsense! Do you know that he changed his name? I have as many household certificates as you want!"

"Ahem, Mr. Yuan, why are you getting so angry? If that's the case, then it's actually much easier. The residences of those sixteen people are all in plain sight. At worst, we can just kill them all. As long as we can transfer Governor Lan away, we can capture them easily."

Yuan Xiang narrowed his eyes and looked at the three people in front of him. They might not know that Zhao Yushu killed three fifth-level heavens by himself, and then forced a sixth-level heaven to have no way to go up to heaven or enter the earth.

"Okay, then are you three going to transfer Lan Rong away, or are you going to kill Zhao Yushu?"

The three of them looked at each other, and Zhu Yuan smiled: "We are different from Master Yuan. We still have to make a living in Nanyang. It's really hard to compete with Governor Lan."

Yuan Xiang snorted: "You guys are really calculating."

The three of them smiled without saying anything, and their meaning was very clear: either you find a way to transfer Lan Rong away, or you do it on your own.

"Okay, then I will deal with Governor Lan, and you guys go get Zhao Yushu. We should start tonight without delay. I hope to hear good news from you all at dawn. Goodbye!"

Yuan Xiang strode out of the Daji Casino, quickly identified the direction, and prepared to walk towards the government office, but just after passing a street corner, he stopped.

Nanyang has imposed a curfew, and the Daji Casino has also opened its doors secretly. There is no one on the street except the night watchmen and patrolling yamen runners.

And just in front of him, in the dim light of the lanterns from a few houses on the street, a figure was standing there, as if waiting for someone.

Waiting for myself.

"Second Master Yuan?" A gleam of light shot out from the other person's eyes. Yuan Xiang looked back without any courtesy and was stunned for a moment.

The other party's aura was so strong that it was terrifying. In this city, there was only one person with such cultivation level.

"Grandmaster Lan."

Yuan Xiang is only at the fourth level. Under the pressure of the seventh level, he should have weakened long ago.

However, when Yuan Xiang shook his sleeves, two tiny monkeys jumped out from his sleeves and squatted on his shoulders, one on the left and one on the right.

Two equally powerful spiritual powers collided with each other.
