Lord of Kyushu

Chapter 400 Zhao Ling
The next day, many people gathered at the gate of the small courtyard behind the Laifu Inn.

The entrance of the small courtyard corresponds to only a small path. There are so many people standing on the crowded path, each of which has only a small space. This kind of congested feeling makes these warriors very uncomfortable.

Qian Tao stood at the front and closest to the gate, looking at the eleven people behind him, he was also a little impatient now.

Today happened to be the time that Elder Mu made an appointment to meet with the representatives of each city. When the stewards of Tianchatang in each city's stronghold heard that the person sent by the Wuyuan was an elder, they didn't dare to send their subordinates as representatives at all. , the stewards of each city came to Yuncheng in person.

Behind Qian Tao right now are the stewards of Tianchatang from the other eleven cities in Yinan Prefecture, who are also in charge of each stronghold. Except for them, no one is qualified to wait here now, even Peng Ye The third-rank registered stewards at that level also dare not set foot here.

But the group of them had been waiting here for half an hour, but the gate of the small courtyard did not appear to be opened.

This place is so narrow, there are a total of twelve of them, and they are considered big men in their respective strongholds on weekdays, and they are all flattered by the people below. When have they been treated like this? , has begun to be unhappy.

There were noisy voices from the crowd, and several managers began to shout dissatisfiedly. Seeing that the matter was about to turn into a big mess, Qian Tao in front quickly opened his mouth to suppress the scene.

"Everyone, calm down, the elders live in the small courtyard, we are making noise here, if we disturb the elders, no one will have good fruit later."

Qian Tao's voice echoed in the arena. In fact, he was also very anxious. Elder Mu only confessed that he would meet these people in the small courtyard, but now he refused to open the door, and he didn't dare to disturb Elder Mu at will. After all, Zhao Ling, the chief steward of Tianchatang in Yinan Prefecture, has not yet arrived.

If the door was opened and the elders inside found out that Zhao Ling hadn't come, they would get angry. His little city manager couldn't bear the anger.

"Director Qian, can you give us an explanation, we have been here for a long time, but we haven't even seen a single person." The person who spoke was Tong Kai, the manager of the stronghold in Lengyue City.

"Qian Tao, are you lying to us? We have been here for several days. No one has seen the elder, and no one has even heard from the elder. Everything was conveyed by you. Now let We have been waiting here for half an hour, and there is no movement inside." Yin Fangzhong, the steward of Huaijiu City, asked suddenly.

When he asked this sentence, the field immediately became more chaotic.

"I think what Manager Yin said makes sense. After we arrived in Laiyun City, we have been led by the nose by Manager Qian. We don't know anything. Even if he has some purpose today to deceive us, we don't know, maybe We have been sold now, and we are still counting the money for them." Yin Gaoyu, the steward of Teng'an City, fanned the flames.

Originally, when these people heard Qian Tao saying that the elder of Wuchang had arrived, they immediately rushed over from their respective strongholds, but after arriving, they did not appear as they imagined, and they did not see the elder of Wuchang at all. After being left alone for a few days, even all kinds of news came out through Qian Tao's mouth. They never had a chance to meet the elder.

This caused a part of the anger that had been accumulated in their hearts. Finally, today, a group of people were squeezed into this small place, and their anger finally couldn't be restrained and broke out.

Seeing this situation, Qian Tao began to panic. He didn't know what to do in the current situation. He couldn't afford to offend the elders. None of his colleagues were weaker than him, and none of them were weaker than him. If the level is lower, he is also very difficult to deal with.

Seeing that there was going to be a big fight, Qian Tao thought of Elder Mu's supernatural power, and a burst of anger immediately burned.

"Be quiet, everyone. Before the elder's residence, you dare to make a lot of noise. You have been outside for a long time, and you have forgotten the rules of the martial arts academy!"

Qian Tao's angry roar rang around the ears of the 11 people. The noisy people present all quieted down. The few people who just took the lead in talking looked at Qian Tao in surprise.

In their impression, Qian Tao has always been a cautious and prudent person. He has never been an adventurous and radical person, but now he dares to yell at them like this. Nine out of ten people who live here are the elders of Wuchang.

Thinking that the status of the elders was much higher than them, the mood of the group of managers became uneasy again. If the elders had a fit, what they did just now would become a handle, even if their identities were cut off. Tang also said nothing.

A group of people fell into silence. Even if it was crowded outside, they didn't dare to make any more troubles.

In the small courtyard, Yang Ze was sitting in the pavilion, taking a sip of tea, the tea entered his throat, and the fragrance gradually rose, which made him feel much more comfortable.

The movement outside naturally did not escape his eyes and ears, but he was not angry enough to punish these people now, he just wanted to punish these people today, so that they would understand that he is the one who is in charge of Yinan Mansion.

After brewing tea like this, another half an hour passed, and the Twelve City Stewards outside waited for an entire hour.

Twelve third-rank warriors can hold a lot of weight in the outside world, but they waited for an hour at the gate of a small courtyard today, but they still dare not complain, it is really aggrieved .

Just when Qian Tao was hesitating whether to knock on the door to ask, the gate of the small courtyard opened at this moment.

The moment the door opened, the twelve stewards seemed to see hope, and immediately had the idea of ​​rushing in, but they quickly held back.

"Come in."

Until this indifferent voice came out, they walked quickly to the gate one by one as if they had seen a treasure.

But just when one foot had just crossed the threshold, their faces changed drastically, and they froze in place, unable to take another step.

"You are in charge of these strongholds, each of you is enjoying the benefits given to you by the Martial Academy, but you have not made any achievements. Instead, you let the Martial Academy's stronghold in Yinan Prefecture be removed. How dare you be so arrogant.

Those who cannot walk in front of me today will be deprived of the position of steward and exiled to mine the mine. You can figure it out yourself. "

After Yang Ze finished speaking, all the stewards of Twelve Cities had ugly faces, sweat dripping down their faces, they couldn't speak, and couldn't step in.

Only Qian Tao, with a pale face, suddenly felt that his body was being grabbed, and he flew out with a pull, landing outside the pavilion.

Qian Tao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, panting heavily, and began to thank Yang Ze.

There is no way, he was really scared just now, he was the one in the front, and the first person to come in after the door opened, but when he took the first step, a huge pressure fell on him It almost made him breathless, but fortunately, the pressure weakened a lot in the end, so that he didn't suffocate.

But even so, it just kept him from being suffocated, just now he couldn't stretch out his foot, he couldn't even speak, when he heard Yang Ze's request, everyone was frightened.

"Manager Qian, you have done a good job during this time, so I won't punish you today."

After Yang Ze said this, Qian Tao was really at ease. It seems that his actions during this period were still seen by the elders, at least this time the elders let him go.

As for the others, they didn't have such good luck.

Under Yang Ze's order, they didn't even have the chance to beg for mercy, they could only bear the coercion, and there was another choice, that is to withdraw, so as not to be disturbed by this coercion.

"Just to remind you, those who dare to take a step back will also be revoked as stewards, and all of them will go to mine for me."

Yang Ze added a word, completely extinguishing their shrinking mood.

These stewards were in a dilemma one by one, and fell into an embarrassing situation. They couldn't see through Yang Ze's face, which made them unable to leave, and they didn't know what to do.

In this embarrassing situation, a person walked over from outside and stopped when he walked outside the small courtyard.

"What are you all doing around here?"

Everyone heard a man's voice from behind. When they heard this familiar voice, they all seemed to have caught straws. This is Zhao Ling's voice. The time has come, maybe they will be saved.

Standing outside, with a faint smile on his face, Zhao Ling saw that the door was blocked by these people. He walked out in one step, unfolded his movements, bypassed everyone, and entered the door.

But he had just entered the small courtyard, his face suddenly changed, a great pressure fell, he was directly pressed to the ground without any precautions, unable to move.

"you……"

Zhao Ling fell to the ground on his face. His whole body was suppressed by the pressure, and he couldn't even stand up. His current appearance looked very embarrassing.

Especially when he thought that there was a group of stewards behind him, who were all his subordinates, Zhao Ling's face became hot when he thought that he was embarrassing in front of them.

"You are Zhao Ling."

An indifferent voice came from above. Zhao Ling looked up and saw a person wearing a mask. It was from this person that the coercion came from. At this moment, he could only make an indistinct sound. Yes.

Unexpectedly, he just responded to this voice, and some cold laughter came from the pavilion.
