I just want to live well but I surpass the protagonist.

As soon as Ye Yong walked out of the restaurant, he found a group of young monsters coming over. The leader was wearing black clothes and his footsteps were like wind. Ye Yong felt familiar. He seemed to be a descendant of Kuang Po Lou, named Kuang Biao. He was killed some time ago. The unknown person was beaten until he was bedridden, and his head is still wrapped in gauze.

Kuang Biao and a group of second-generation demons did not even look at Ye Yong. They went straight into the house and went upstairs. They knew what they were doing without even thinking.

Before he had gone far, he heard noise coming from the restaurant behind him, followed by a burst of smashing.

Shaking his head, Ye Yong silently prayed that he would not cause trouble with the demon. There were only a few days left before the opening of the Demon Bailin Secret Realm. If the protagonist was detained in Lion Forest City, there might be some additional events that would happen.

Instead of going to Jin Honglian to inquire about Lin Wei's whereabouts, Ye Yong returned to Xicheng District, because he knew that Jin Honglian's character must have been expedited and he would be notified as soon as there were clues. There was no point in urging.

But the lord of Yanhu City cannot let him go. When the siege is over, he must make Yanhu City pay the price.

"Is there any news about Auntie?" Qin Shimeng and Liang Xiaorou were still worried about Lin Wei. When they saw Ye Yong coming back, they asked.

"Not yet, but logically speaking, City Lord Jin should have already contacted Yanhu City, and there will probably be a response soon."

As soon as Ye Yong finished speaking, a demon came to the City Lord's Mansion, and it was a barbaric prime minister.

The first thing he did was to tell Ye Yong not to worry, which made Ye Yong very panicked. Later he learned that it was not Lin Wei who was in trouble, but that they hadn't contacted Yan Hucheng yet.

Counting the time, it's been a few hours, and it's really strange that I haven't contacted him yet.

"Is it because you have a guilty conscience? You dare not respond?" Ye Yong muttered to himself.

"It's unlikely." The Prime Minister heard this and said that he knew the character of the Lord of Yanhu City: "Hubu has great achievements. No matter what happens, he will brag to the outside world. If he captures Mr. Ye's mother, he will definitely negotiate terms with us immediately. , even if it is impossible to let him go, he will definitely use his mother's safety as a threat to gain benefits. In my opinion, something happened. "

Seeing Ye Yong's silence, the barbarian said again: "Young master Ye, don't worry too much. They must be seeking something for your mother-in-law and won't hurt her. City Lord Jin has also sent messengers to Yanhu City. It is expected that tonight I'll give you a reply when I get there. I'm here to tell you the current progress so that you don't get too nervous."

"Thanks."

"I can't bear Mr. Ye's thanks. On the contrary, I have to say sorry. If I hadn't asked the maid to bring my mother-in-law over, I wouldn't have..."

"Our side is in the light, and the enemy is in the dark. It's easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. Master Man couldn't have known that such a thing would happen, so there is no need to apologize."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Man left. Ye Yong also told Qin Shimeng and Liang Xiaorou to go back to their rooms to practice without worrying.

As night fell, a commotion suddenly broke out at the north gate of Shilin City. It turned out that a group of elite soldiers belonging to Yanhu City were coming here.

Jin Honglian received the news and immediately rushed to the north gate.

I can't contact you right now, but you still send me to my door. Are you really treating them like Shilin City as a soft persimmon?

The elite soldiers of Yanhu City stopped a few hundred meters away from the north gate and did not get any closer.

Logically speaking, as the lord of a city, one has to be strict and not easily talk to monsters without status. But Jin Honglian was different. She didn't care about this at all. She jumped down from the city wall with her aura fully activated, like A majestic lion.

However, before Jin Honglian could ask questions, a rather tall human woman got out of the carriage among the soldiers. She was elegant and had obviously been educated by her family. The soldiers moved out of the way in an orderly manner and did not dare to follow her. Looking at each other, they all bowed their heads, as if they were afraid of each other.

Jin Honglian had never seen the human woman, but she recognized a nodding and bowing tiger standing next to the carriage. The son of Hu Bu, the lord of Yanhu City, Hu Lao.

"Hu Lao! What on earth do you mean!? Where is Mr. Ye Wu's mother!?"

Jin Honglian never guessed that the human woman in front of her was Ye Yong's mother. After all, Yan Hucheng did not hesitate to use undercover agents who had been lurking for a long time to take her away. However, less than a day had passed and he sent her back again with such fanfare and respect. It made no sense at all.

"City Lord Jin, long time no see, this is Mrs. Lin."

Jin Honglian didn’t believe it.

Hu Lao didn't explain much. He was exhausted mentally and physically, and just wanted to send this early tribulation device away as soon as possible.

Man Xiang met Lin Wei, and he confirmed Lin Wei's identity to Jin Honglian.

Although Jin Honglian thought there was a trap, she immediately sent her men to pick up Lin Wei. At the same time, she asked in a low voice how Lin Wei was doing and whether she was cursed by some kind of poison.

Lin Wei shook his head and said that he was fine, while Hu Lao said with a sad face that he really didn't do anything. If there was nothing else, he would go back to Yanhu City.

There were too many things to be suspicious of, so Jin Honglian immediately ordered the troops from Shilin City to surround Hu Lao and the others.

Unexpectedly, Hu Lao and the others did not resist, as if they had expected such a result.

Man Xiang frowned, suspecting fraud. Jin Honglian was not stupid and also thought there was a problem.

At this time, a general proposed that Hu Lao and the others be taken to prison and interrogated one by one. Soon another general rejected it, thinking that this was a conspiracy. The other party must have deliberately wanted to be arrested. He proposed that Hu Lao and the others be arrested. Kill directly.

"Jincheng Lord!" After experiencing the death threat from Tianlei, Hu Lao not only faced Lin Wei, but also had a much stronger mentality when facing the senior officials of Shilin City. Faced with various proposals, he He said calmly: "My little brother said that I just sent Mrs. Lin back without any intention. By the way, I would like to remind you that my father is the lord of Yanhu City. If you are not good for me, be careful about my father..."

Hu Bu's strength should not be underestimated. Thinking of the future siege, some senior officials felt that Hu Lao should be released, while some senior officials felt that Hu Lao should be captured and used as a bargaining chip in negotiations, which might allow Yan Hucheng to make some concessions. No demon mentioned killing on the spot again.

Jin Honglian asked Man Xiang for his opinion. Man Xiang was also unsure of what Hu Lao was planning. It was impossible to let them go back. The other party had brought troops over. After much deliberation, the only option was to lock them up first and leave. One step at a time.

Ye Qingwu naturally received the news about the movement at the North Gate very quickly, and she immediately informed Ye Yong. When she learned that soldiers were coming from Yanhu City, Ye Yong rushed to the North Gate in a hurry, thinking that a war was about to start. It turned out that it didn't seem to be the case, and he also saw his mother.

"Mother!" Ye Yong quickly stepped forward and took out the props purchased by the system to check Lin Wei's physical condition. He was extremely healthy and had no restrictions.

"What's going on?" Seeing Hu Lao and other tiger soldiers being arrested, Ye Yong suspected that Yan Hucheng wanted to use this as an excuse to send troops and officially start the first battle to attack the city.

"I don't know the details, but everything starts with a thunder." As Lin Wei recounted his experience through voice transmission, Ye Yong's expression began to change.
