C183 Shang Luo

Zheng Xingquan didn't know what was on Cult Master Zhang's mind, so he kept talking about it.

"Cult Master Zhang, my Shangluo is really small and pitiful. I'm more than happy to receive you and your followers. But it is not enough. I have a presumptuous request. When you and the Protectors enter the city, I will be in charge of arranging the best restaurant to rest. The rest of the sect members might have to suffer the grievance of setting up camp outside the city to rest. After resting, I will arrange for you to continue touring the area with the Cult members. Speaking of which, being free and unrestrained is truly a godlike day. It makes me envious."

Zhang Jingxuan thought to himself. This brother is trying to change his way around me.

He called us sect masters one after the other. It seems like he only wants our group to rebel. He forcefully framed us as evil sect masters and brought us along for sightseeing.

'If that's the case, he wouldn't be blamed by the Imperial Court for coming into contact with us, including providing some food and pestering us. This is a good plan. '

Although Zhang Jingxuan does not care about these small tricks, there are some things that cannot be ambiguous.

"Lord Zheng, you are wrong. How could I abandon all my brothers and run into the city to enjoy myself? That was definitely not my style. Of course, you're right. After all, the reception ability of Shangluo is limited. Naturally, I won't force you. When the time comes, I'll bring 1,500 people into the city, and I'll have to trouble Sir Zheng to arrange a place for us to stay. I can guarantee that my team won't make any mistakes.

It's just that when the time comes, I'll have to ask Sir Zheng to help me out a little. Allow me to keep you in suspense for now, and we'll talk about it later. "

Zhang Jingxuan winked at Zheng Xingquan with a happy expression, as if they were very close.

Zheng Xingquan could not laugh at all. But soon, he smiled again and nodded.

"This is good, this is also good. Master will follow the guest. I say Zheng Wu, did you hear what Cult Master Zhang said? Hurry up and get ready when we get back. Find a place that can accommodate 1,500 people. Hurry up and go. "

The other follower also left. This way, County Magistrate Zheng became a loner and followed Zhang Jingxuan's team. He didn't feel lonely at all.

Not long after, they became familiar with Yuen Luoyuan, Gan Shichi, and the others. They chatted with Zhang Jingxuan together and did not feel lonely at all along the way.

Zheng Xingquan was very knowledgeable about astronomy, geography, and even the current situation. Yuen Luoyuan and Gan Shichi both had a good impression of this kind and knowledgeable County Magistrate Zheng.

As they chatted and laughed, the journey did not seem to be that long. Not long after, Shangluo quietly leaped in front of them.

As County Magistrate Zheng had said, Shangluo was indeed not a big city. The entire city was built on top of a mountain. The terrain was very dangerous, and the city was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It reminded people of Breeze Stronghold.

When County Magistrate Zheng arrived at the city gate, he didn't hold back. Along the way, everyone seemed to have become friends. Hee Jinfeng led his men and lined up outside the city, waiting for Zhang Jingxuan's instructions.

Zheng Xingquan didn't seem to see all of this. He was still talking and laughing. He brought Zhang Jingxuan, Yuen Luoyuan, Gan Shichi, and a few others to the front of the line. They arrived at the city gate under the city wall. Zheng Xingquan tapped on the city gate with his index finger. It seemed that it was a secret signal that they had agreed on a long time ago.

The huge city gate quietly opened a gap. When the people in the city saw Zheng Xingquan, Sir Zheng, they quickly saluted and opened the gate to allow people to pass through.

Zheng Xingquan looked apologetic. "Cult Master Zhang, brothers Yuan and Gan, I said I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. In my Shangluo, there is no inn that can take in a team of 1,500 people. If we add in all the other inns, we might be able to provide these beds, but if we do that, we will split up. I don't think this is a good idea.

I just thought of a way and felt that it was safe. Let's discuss it with everyone. There is a drill ground in Shangluo, and it is quite spacious. I plan to send someone to set up some tents there. For the use of your sect members, Sect Leader. What do you all think? "

" Why didn't you say so earlier? I think there shouldn't be any problems. Indeed, we can't split up. There's no need to stay in an inn. It's good enough to just stay in the tents of the drill ground. " Before Zhang Jingxuan could say anything, Gan Shichi, who was a little impatient, rushed to answer. Zhang Jingxuan simply declined to comment. It was definitely not a good thing for the team to be split up. It was not bad to gather at one area of the drill ground. They could use the drill ground to train during the day.

"Didn't I hide some selfishness at the beginning? I hope Cult Master Zhang and everyone else can go somewhere else as soon as possible. I didn't think that I would like all of you young heroes. Now, I only feel that it's a good thing that I didn't send you away. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to come to Shangluo as a guest. How regretful would I be? "

Yuen Luoyuan and Gan Shichi were both grinning from ear to ear. If they said the same thing and expressed the same thing in a different way, it might have a completely different effect.

Listening to Gan Shichi's reply, Zheng Xingquan seemed to still feel somewhat apologetic in his heart. It was as if a hospitable host felt guilty for not being able to treat his guests well. He shouted at the door, "What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and open the city gate. Do you want me and the guests to stand outside just like that? These people with poor eyesight are making you laugh. Haha."

Zheng Xingquan spoke to the people behind him, blocking their line of sight. The others could not see what was happening inside the door. However, as soon as Zheng Xingquan's voice faded, the two city gates quietly opened. The Shangluo appeared in front of them just like that.

The plan Zhang Jingxuan had prepared from the beginning was actually not put to use at all.

"Please come in, this way."

Zheng Xingquan took the lead and greeted Zhang Jingxuan and the others as they walked. A few of them walked side by side. Hee Jinfeng, who had been in front of them all along the way, fell behind them.

He hurriedly led the troops and wanted to catch up. His duty as the vanguard was to charge in front and help the commander clear the obstacles.

Hee Jinfeng's resolution was right. Unfortunately, he was a step slower.

An earth-shattering change happened at this moment.

As Zheng Xingquan walked, he seemed to have accidentally kicked a rock, causing him to stagger. Gan Shichi wasn't far from him, and just as he was about to reach out to help him up, he felt his wrist tighten, and he couldn't take another step forward.

From the direction of the attack, he knew that it was Zhang Jingxuan who had grabbed him. He was still puzzled in his heart when he heard a sound that made his cheeks numb and his teeth tighten behind him.

Everyone turned around and saw a huge iron gate slowly descending from above the city gate. It should have not been used for a long time. The heavy metal gate that weighed several thousand jin did not fall very quickly at the beginning.

Zheng Xingquan had just staggered a little and slipped as if he had stepped on banana skin. He had already left the group by twenty feet.

He shouted loudly, "Arrow!"

On both sides of the city gate, more than a hundred arrows instantly shot over continuously, "Whiz, whiz, whiz."
