Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

As dusk fell into the night, Lin Bai and Zhou Xi walked out of the house one after another and came to a remote and deserted wine shop in Nancheng. They asked for a private room and sat in it.

"Sir, they said they were the guests you invited."

Not long after, a boy walked in, followed by a man in black wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat.

The black robe and the top of the head of this man in black are covered with formations, making it impossible to use perception to spy on its contents.

Lin Bai was sitting at the table drinking, while Zhou Xi stood respectfully behind Lin Bai.

After the man in black walked in, before Lin Bai and Zhou Xi could speak, he asked coldly: "You two sent me a letter saying that you knew about the Laoshu Teleportation Formation..."

Lin Bai threw hundreds of Zhuque Pills casually, and the young man caught them happily. After thanking him, he turned around and left the place.

After the servant left, the Yajian magic circle was in operation, blocking outsiders from detecting it.

"Deputy City Master Dou Shu can take off his hat."

Lin Bai said with a chuckle.

The man in black hesitated for a moment, then reached out and slowly took off the bamboo hat on his head, revealing an indifferent face and a pair of murderous eyes.

Just this afternoon, when he was sitting in his study and worried about the marriage between Hongqiu City and Zhanshan City, he suddenly received a message from someone, saying that he was invited to come to a wine shop in Nancheng for a talk. Dou Shu didn't want to I understand, but there is another sentence written next to this message.

It was this sentence that made Dou Shu sleepless and uneasy.

This sentence is "The night when Your Excellency had a secret meeting with Lang Qing, the young master of Xuanzhou Wolf City, beside the teleportation array of Laoshu outside Jiuye Town, I was also there."

After seeing this sentence, Dou Shu was greatly surprised. He had a secret meeting with Lang Qing outside Jiuye Town that day. They both turned away and knew that no one else existed within ten miles. But if no one really existed, Then who would know that he had a secret meeting with Lang Qing?

After careful consideration, Dou Shu decided to take the risk to meet the person who sent the message. If the other party just wanted to ask for some benefits and was not a person with a great background, Dou Shu would be willing to take action to send them to hell.

"Deputy City Master Dou Shu, you don't have to be so vigilant. Since I dare to ask you to come, I must be fully prepared."

"If the deputy city lord doesn't believe it, you can give it a try. I can guarantee that as long as there is a slight fluctuation of spiritual power in this private room, your secret meeting with Lang Qing will be spread throughout Zhanshan City with the rising sun tomorrow!"

Lin Bai kneaded the wine glass with two fingers, a slight confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Dou Shu's expression was gloomy. Lin Bai's calmness and calmness were far beyond his imagination. It didn't look like Lin Bai was telling lies.

Once word spreads about his secret meeting with Lang Qing, it will be tantamount to selling the city, and the Sun family will definitely not forgive him!

Dou Shu took a deep breath, sat across the table, stared at Lin Bai and said, "Qing Luo, what do you want to do! You have obtained the Ten Thousand Qi Purple Lotus Seeds, and your injuries have been completely healed. You could have left Zhanshan City, even if you couldn't go back to Qingshui City. You can also wander around the world and go to the Eternal Demon Sect."

"Why bother with muddy water in Zhanshan City?"

At this moment, Dou Shu also remembered that the young man in front of him was Qing Luo.

When Lin Bai was rescued by the third son of the Sun family, the Lord of Zhanshan City led the senior officials of Zhanshan City to visit Nanguan. Dou Shu was also among the crowd that day.

"The Deputy City Lord was joking. Although I got the Ten Thousand Qi Purple Lotus Seeds, the Sun Elders' Council didn't seem to let me go. They sent killers to hunt me down and even sealed the city gates. Now as long as I get close to the city gates, I will be killed. The Sun family caught it!" Lin Bai said with a smile.

"It's simple. I can provide you with a token to leave Zhanshan City, but you need to guarantee that after you get the token, you must leave Zhanshan City!" Dou Shu said coldly. He felt that Lin Bai knew about Laoshu's teleportation array. Things, if he stays in Zhanshan City for one more day, it will be a hidden danger.

While speaking, Dou Shu took out a token, placed it on the table, and pushed it towards Lin Bai: "This is the token for the bodyguard accompanying my deputy city lord. With it, you can freely enter and leave Zhanshan City."

Lin Bai accepted the token and revealed a mysterious smile: "The deputy city lord has solved my urgent need, but I don't want to leave Zhanshan City yet!"

"You!" Dou Shu was furious and stood up with a slap on the table. He glared at Lin Bai with an angry look, his eyes gushing out with anger.

Lin Bai smiled and said: "Deputy City Master Dou Shu, please be patient. I asked you to come here not because I want to blackmail you about the old tree teleportation array, but because I want to make a deal with you!"

Dou Shu suppressed his anger and asked, "What deal?"

Lin Bai said: "Hongqiu City is joining forces with Zhanshan City. You must be worried about this matter."

"Xuanzhou Wolf City is not weak, but after Zhanshan City and Hongqiu City join forces, Xuanzhou Wolf City will not be able to capture Zhanshan City in a short period of time."

"Wolf City cannot win Zhanshan City, so if Wolf City agrees to your request, it will be delayed."

"What's even more annoying is... it's very possible that Wolf City is no match for Zhanshan City and Hongqiu City. Once Wolf City loses, the deal between Deputy City Lord Dou Shu and Wolf City will undoubtedly be a fantasy."

When Dou Shu heard Lin Bai's analysis, his stern face gradually softened, and even a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, which then turned into a loud laugh: "Hahaha, hahaha, I understand, I understand."

Lin Bai asked in confusion: "What do you understand?"

Dou Shu chuckled and said: "Sun Yao is going to marry Du Qiu, and you once had a marriage contract with Sun Yao. Although the Qing family in Qingshui City was destroyed, Zhan Shan City broke the agreement, which will definitely make you angry. You are Zhan Shan. During the period of healing in Shancheng, thanks to Sun Yao's care, Sun Yao agreed to marry Du Qiu in exchange for a Purple Lotus Seed of Ten Thousand Energy for you."

"You and I both know who Du Qiu is? How can the woman who falls into his hands have a good end?"

"You can't bear to see Sun Yao fall into a place of eternal destruction, so you invited me here today to discuss the plan together."

Hearing Dou Shu reveal Lin Bai's thoughts, he immediately smiled and said, "It's easy to talk to smart people. Since Deputy City Master Dou Shu has guessed the reason why I invited you here, let's talk openly and honestly!"

"I want Sun Yao, you want to kill the mountain city, we each get what we need."

"how?"

Lin Bai asked Dou Shu with a smile.

Dou Shu stopped talking and fell silent.

Lin Bai said: "Deputy City Master Dou Shu, I did not tell the Sun family about your secret meeting with Lang Qing at the old tree teleportation array, which is enough to show my sincerity; otherwise, when I enter the city that day, I can Inform City Master Zhanshan about this matter."

"Now, we are grasshoppers on a rope. Does Deputy City Master Dou Shu have any concerns?"

In fact, there were many reasons why Lin Bai did not inform Zhanshan City about the secret meeting between Dou Shu and Lang Qing.

First, as soon as Lin Bai introduced himself as an outsider and had no real evidence, he told the Lord of Zhanshan City that Dou Shu was selling the city. The Lord of Zhanshan City might not even believe it, and it might even make the Lord of Zhanshan City think that Lin Bai had falsely accused Dou Shu, and he would have a negative attitude toward Lin Bai. Contradiction, this is very detrimental to Lin Bai's plan to obtain the Ten Thousand Qi Purple Lotus Seeds.

Secondly, Dou Shu’s family is considered a famous family in Zhanshan City. There are many masters in the family. If he rashly informs the Lord of Zhanshan City, it may force Dou Shubing to take dangerous measures, which will be detrimental to the Sun family. Lin Bai didn’t have any at that time. After reaching the Purple Lotus Seed of Ten Thousand Qi and not regaining his strength, he naturally does not want anything to happen to the Sun family.

Third, Lin Bai was an outsider. The battle between Zhanshan City and Xuanzhou Wolf City had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to get involved.

Fourth, if the Sun family gives up on Lin Bai, or even when Lin Bai dies, this news will become a life-saving thing in Lin Bai's hands.

Due to various reasons, Lin Bai did not rush to inform the Lord of Zhanshan City about the news.

Fortunately, Lin Bai's plan was relatively successful, and the news really had the value it deserved.
