C220 Great Changes
chapter 219.
Zheng Konglan stared at his servant. He straightened his body and asked, "Who are you talking about?"
"Gai Yin of Gai family."
"The Gai Yin from three years ago? " Zheng Konglan asked coldly.
The servant nodded.
"Is it really that Gai Yin who messed up the Burning Sword City?" Zheng Konglan had already stood up. With a serious expression, he asked.
The servant nodded again. "City Lord, that's Gai Yin from the Gai family. He... He has already arrived outside the Prefecture."
"What, outside the City Lord's Mansion?" Zheng Konglan was startled. He became somewhat anxious. After that, he quickly said, "Quickly, go to Thunder City and find Yi Meng. Tell her that Gai Yin has returned!"
"City Lord, are you going now?" The servant asked.
"Yes, we are going now. This Gai Yin has returned with ill intentions. I'm afraid he is even more terrifying than three years ago." Zheng Konglan clenched his fist and took a deep breath.
When the servant saw Zheng Konglan's nervous face, he did not ask any more questions. He immediately left through the back door and headed straight to Thunder City.
After the servant left, Zheng Konglan frowned. He looked left and right, then quickly said to the other servants beside him, "Quick, quickly open the door and welcome the guests."
After Zheng Konglan finished giving instructions, he slightly tidied his clothes and crown, and then also went to the door.
At this time, Gai Yin was stepping into the City Lord's Mansion.
Zheng Konglan saw Gai Yin from afar. That's right. Zheng Konglan thought about it carefully. The person who walked towards him was Gai Yin from the Gai family.
Zheng Konglan smiled. He quickly went forward and laughed. "I didn't know young master Gai Yin was back. Sorry for not welcoming you."
Gai Yin saw the pot-bellied Zheng Konglan and saw him coming forward to greet him. However, Gai Yin didn't accept Zheng Konglan's welcome. He stood where he was and stretched out a hand to stop Zheng Konglan from moving forward.
Zheng Konglan felt awkward. He could only stop where he was and smile. "young master Gai Yin, what's wrong? Don't you know me,elder Zheng?"
Gai Yin snorted coldly. "Zheng Konglan, how could I, Gai Yin, forget you? You almost became my father-in-law."
Zheng Konglan paused and nodded." Then... young master Gai Yin, you suddenly disappeared three years ago. Where did Master go these three years?"
Gai Yin snorted coldly and said," I slept for three years. What? Do you really want to know what I have experienced in these three years? "
"No... young master Gai Yin, what I mean is that because you've been missing for three years, the situation in Burning Sword City has changed greatly. What you're seeing now is actually far from what you imagined." Zheng Konglan thought for a long time and said these words.
Gai Yin understood what Zheng Konglan meant. He just sneered. "Alright. Then tell me, what about the Gai family in Burning Sword City?"
Zheng Konglan's facial expression changed. He knew what he had to do was come. Gai Yin had come back to seek revenge.
"young master Gai Yin, listen to me. The destruction of Gai family has nothing to do with me."
"I know. How can a trash like you destroy the Gai family?" Gai Yin said indifferently.
Zheng Konglan was humiliated by Gai Yin, but he was very happy. At least, Gai Yin wouldn't kill him. All he needed to do was to calm Gai Yin's emotions and wait for reinforcements to arrive. Everything would be resolved.
Zheng Konglan smiled awkwardly. He nodded and said, "young master Gai Yin is right. How could a useless person like me destroy the Gai family? All... all of them..."
"Who are they?" Gai Yin asked coldly.
"young master Gai Yin, it's the Luo family. The second young master of the Luo family, Luo Xiangya, has returned from the Vast Expanse School. He has opened three Forbidden Gate in his body. He is very powerful, and no one is a match for him. He has already taken control of the Burning Sword City, so... that's why your Gai family has been destroyed."
Gai Yin frowned. He didn't expect that all of this was done by Luo Xiangya. That's right. It was the second young master of Luo family, Luo Xiangya.
"Where is he?" Gai Yin continued asking.
"He... he is in Thunder City." Zheng Konglan replied.
"Thunder City?" Gai Yin was puzzled. He looked at Zheng Konglan with a puzzled expression, "Why is he in Thunder City?"
"young master Gai Yin, you might not know this, but Luo Xiangya has unified the five cities in the east, and the Thunder City is his main city. That's why he's in the Thunder City now. "
"He has unified the five cities in the east? Humph,i didn't expect that."
Gai Yin shook his head. He thought for a while, then continued, "Alright,i hope what you said is true. If there's a single lie,i will definitely kill you."
Zheng Konglan shook his head repeatedly and said, "How would I dare lie to young master Gai Yin? What I said is absolutely true."
At this point, Zheng Konglan felt that Gai Yin would probably leave. At least Gai Yin didn't make things difficult for him, and he wasn't in any danger, so he let out a long sigh of relief.
However, just as he was secretly delighted, Gai Yin turned around again.
Gai Yin stared at Zheng Konglan without saying anything.
Zheng Konglan looked at Gai Yin awkwardly, then smiled. "young master Gai Yin, is there anything else?"
"Yes." Gai Yin nodded.
"Don't worry about it, young master Gai Yin. I will tell him what I know. As the saying goes, you can tell him everything you know."
Gai Yin snorted and said. "I heard you kicked Soong Junya out of Burning Sword City."
Zheng Konglan's facial expression changed. His fierce face twitched slightly, then he said, "young master Gai Yin. This... this has nothing to do with me. Soong Junya refused to listen to Luo Xiangya's advice and insisted on... so..."
" Soong Junya saved my brother, so Luo Xiangya won't let him go. You chased him out of Burning Sword City to save him, right? " Gai Yin asked.
Zheng Konglan heard it and felt that it made sense, so he quickly nodded and said with a smile: "It's still young master Gai Yin who knows me. That's right. Just like what young master Gai Yin said,i actually indirectly saved Soong Junya."
Gai Yin's face darkened. He clenched his fist and punched out, sending Zheng Konglan flying. The fat Zheng Konglan, who weighed two hundred Jin, was sent flying like a small stone under Gai Yin's fist.
After Zheng Konglan was sent flying by Gai Yin, he let out a pig's howl. Then, with great difficulty, he stood up and looked at Gai Yin.
"Gai Yin... you..."
"What happened to me?"
"Why did you attack me for no reason?!"
"Hurt someone? I wanted to kill you, but your slave told me that your daughter Zheng Yimeng was married to Luo Xiangya, and that you were his father-in-law. Yet, you told me that destroying the Gai family had nothing to do with you. You really are a good father-in-law, pushing all the blame to your son-in-law. Hmph, rare, rare. "
Zheng Konglan's facial expression changed. He knew that he could no longer hide it anymore. His attempt to feign civility had failed.
Since he couldn't continue pretending, Zheng Konglan let go. He snorted coldly. "Gai Yin, do you think you can still stir up trouble in Burning Sword City?"
"Oh, what? You mean Luo Xiangya can subdue me?" Gai Yin smiled.
"Of course. If you really have the ability, go to Thunder City and kill Luo Xiangya. All of this was done by him. Don't use me to vent your anger. I am just an old man who has been angry before. Killing me won't count as much."
Gai Yin nodded. "That's right. Killing you is indeed too simple. It will even dirty my hands. That's why I didn't intend to kill you."
When Zheng Konglan heard this, his heart was filled with joy, but he didn't show it on his face. His expression froze, and he nodded his head. "Alright. I would like to see how you are going to defeat Luo Xiangya. He is a cultivator who has returned from the Vast Expanse School. What right do you have to defeat him?"
Zheng Konglan rubbed his abdomen. He took a few steps forward and sneered. "Kid, let me give you a piece of advice. You should leave as soon as possible. The further you go, the better. Otherwise, Luo Xiangya will definitely tear you into pieces. His father, Luo Xingkong, was killed by you. He will never let you go. "
Gai Yin snorted and said, "What? I have to thank you for your reminder."
" Humph, a stubborn fellow. When the time comes, he won't even know how he died. " Zheng Konglan roared angrily.
Gai Yin shook his head. He remembered something and gave up on his plan to go to Thunder City to find Luo Xiangya. After all, Zheng Konglan had just said that Luo Xiangya would never let him go. In that case, he should wait for Luo Xiangya to find him instead of him.
Therefore, Gai Yin didn't leave. Instead, he turned and asked, "Where's Chen Beigui?"
Zheng Konglan paused. He snorted and laughed. "Kid, what do you mean? You have to take care of everything in Burning Sword City?"
"Chen Beigui was the city lord, and now it's you. I just want to know where he is. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"Hmph, you're asking me? Who am I going to ask? Where did Chen Beigui go? Why did you come to me when you don't know where he went? Do you think I'm your know-it-all?"
Gai Yin was silent. He could see some problems on Zheng Konglan's face. He now understood that Chen Beigui might end up badly as well.
However, Gai Yin had no idea how miserable Chen Beigui would end up.
While Gai Yin was silent, a loud noise came from outside the Prefecture.
Gai Yin paused for a second and looked outside the Prefecture. He looked at Dan Linger and smiled. "Go and see what happened."
Dan Linger nodded and went to the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion. A moment later, she brought back a person, a dirty and stinky beggar.
The beggar limped into the Prefecture. His face was full of grief but he could not say it out loud. He endured for a long time and forced his hair to turn white.
Gai Yin looked at Dan Linger and asked, "This is?"
Dan Linger shook her head. "I don't know. He said he wanted to see you. He must see you. So I brought him in."
Gai Yin nodded. He looked at the beggar and asked softly, "Who are you?"
The old beggar looked at Gai Yin and cried. His legs were not good, but he still knelt on the ground and cried. "Gai Yin, is it really you? You really came back."
Gai Yin's heart felt heavy. He carefully looked at the beggar in front of him, and couldn't remember who this person was.
"Yes,i am Gai Yin. Who are you?" Gai Yin asked again.
"I... I am Chen Beigui." The old beggar revealed his identity.
When the old beggar revealed his identity, Zheng Konglan's facial expression changed. How did he get here so quickly? Furthermore, he didn't expect this to happen. This was Chen Beigui, the city lord of Burning Sword City three years ago.
Zheng Konglan still remembered the last time he saw Chen Beigui, Chen Beigui wasn't a beggar. How did he become a beggar in the blink of an eye?
Of course, Zheng Konglan also understood the reason. He just didn't expect Chen Beigui to change so much, which was beyond his expectations.
Gai Yin's heart ached. Why did these old friends all change? Why did they become so miserable? He couldn't bear to see these old friends become like this. Gai Yin clenched his fists tightly, and a trace of tears appeared at the corner of his eyes.
Dan Linger saw Gai Yin's tears. She wiped away Gai Yin's tears and went to help Chen Beigui up.
Chen Beigui did not dare to let Dan Linger help him up. He saw that Dan Linger's identity was very noble, so he shook his head repeatedly and stood up on his own accord.
Dan Linger knew what Chen Beigui was thinking, so she let go. She then looked at the pot-bellied Zheng Konglan and lightly snorted, "Stupid fatty, why aren't you going to get a chair? Do you still want to be beaten?"
Zheng Konglan then ordered a servant to bring a chair for Chen Beigui. Chen Beigui did not have a seat. He stared at Gai Yin and said, "Gai Yin, you have to help me."
Gai Yin nodded. He walked to Chen Beigui and said, "Uncle Chen, your business is my business. Tell me what happened. I, Gai Yin, will get revenge for you."
"Good, good. I have waited for this day for too long. Gai Yin, you must avenge me, no, Kongyin." Chen Beigui said seriously.
Gai Yin slightly closed his eyes. He knew that he was going to hear the news that he did not want to hear the most.
