"Aren't you here to take my life?"

Xiang Zhen, the Lord of Beihai City, stared at Zhang Yifeng and asked with a suspicious look.

"Hahaha, it seems that there is no doubt that it is a misunderstanding. If I came to kill someone, how could I be so ostentatious?"

"Although I have heard about what happened in Beihai City recently, it is still surprising to see the Lord of the City so worried."

Zhang Yifeng laughed and waved his hand calmly.

Hearing this, Xiang Zhen's face changed slightly, but soon returned to normal.

It was because what Zhang Yifeng said just now really touched Xiang Zhen's embarrassment.

As the Lord of the City who guards a city, he can't eradicate the chaos in his city.

Even because of the threat to his life, he didn't let his men investigate any situation related to these chaos.

These things have become a thorn in Xiang Zhen's heart, which led to his displeasure immediately after Zhang Yifeng said these.

But Xiang Zhen suppressed his anger again.

It was because he was sure that the young man who drove the flying boat all the way to the City Lord's Mansion was definitely not a troublemaker in Beihai City.

Even the arrival of this person might add new hope to the situation in Beihai City that is gradually collapsing.

"I am Xiang Zhen, the Lord of Beihai City. May I ask your name?"

After thinking for a while, Xiang Zhen raised his hand to signal the four guards behind him to calm down, and then asked Zhang Yifeng.

"Hehe, I am just an idle cloud and wild crane. The City Lord can call me Zhang Yifeng."

Zhang Yifeng replied with a smile, and then deliberately raised his eyes to look at the City Lord's Mansion in front of the two.

Xiang Zhen's pupils condensed when he saw this, and he immediately understood what he meant.

"Daoyou Zhang has come from afar. If you don't mind, why don't you take a rest in the City Lord's Mansion now?"

After Xiang Zhen said this, he raised his hand to signal the four guards behind him.

The four people saw this and their figures flashed, and they immediately disappeared on the spot.

Zhang Yifeng would naturally not refuse Xiang Zhen's invitation, and replied with a smile: "Then I'll have to trouble City Lord Xiang to take care of it."

After saying this, Zhang Yifeng drove the flying boat directly into the City Lord's Mansion.

Xiang Zhen's City Lord's Mansion occupies a large area, and the courtyard in front of the court alone is enough for the flying boat to land.

Shortly after Zhang Yifeng entered the City Lord's Mansion, someone came out of the mansion and dispersed the people and monks who were attracted to watch.

According to the servants in the mansion, everyone also knew that the young man who drove the flying boat seemed to be a distant relative of the City Lord.

Among the dispersed crowd, a man wearing a black hood sneered.

"Hmph, the city lord's distant cousin? How ridiculous."

"Since Xiang Zhen became the lord of Beihai City, he has taken all his family members into the city lord's mansion, even his relatives."

"Why did such a young distant cousin suddenly come at this time?"

The black-robed hooded man sneered and thought to himself, while his figure gradually faded away with the crowd.

Needless to say, his identity is that he was sent by those bandits to secretly monitor all abnormalities in Beihai City.

Zhang Yifeng came into the city so swaggeringly, and he naturally had to keep a close eye on him as a secret agent.

At this moment, after hearing the explanation of the servants in the city lord's mansion, he was not in a hurry to report back.

"This kid is probably here for the imperial treasure key. As soon as he entered the city, he went straight to the city lord's mansion of Xiang Zhen..."

The black-robed man thought in his heart, and a cold color flashed in his eyes.

"It seems that someone is not honest and secretly provided him with some information."

At this thought, the black-robed man had a target in his mind.

He looked up in the direction of the city gate, and he had already determined where Zhang Yifeng got the news from.

"You can't control your mouth, so don't blame me for being cruel."

He laughed grimly, slowly sneaked into the dark, and moved towards the city gate.

On the other side, Zhang Yifeng had already jumped off the flying boat and landed in the courtyard of the city lord's mansion.

The people in the flying boat felt the slight tremor of the docking, and they also walked out of the cabin one by one.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, I will inform the servants about your identity for the time being, and let them unanimously say that you are my distant cousin."

Xiang Zhen stood in front of Zhang Yifeng and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you for the trouble, Lord Xiang, so let's arrange it this way."

Zhang Yifeng nodded, then glanced at the people who walked out of the flying boat, and did not see Lei Ao.

"That kid is very tired, so I didn't wake him up on purpose."

Ji Dali jumped to Zhang Yifeng's side, scratched his head and smiled.

As soon as Zhang Yifeng's eyes swept across the crowd, Ji Dali knew what he was thinking.

"Well, let him rest for a while."

Zhang Yifeng nodded slightly, then turned around and led Ji Dali and Xuanyuan Li, who had just got off the flying boat, to the reception room in front.

Xiang Zhen was slightly stunned when he saw this, but soon understood what he meant and hurried to follow.

"Well, Fellow Daoist Zhang is really simple in everything. I thought you would be polite to me again."

Xiang Zhen coughed lightly and said a little embarrassedly.

"I think with the current situation in Beihai City, there shouldn't be much time for us to chat."

"Lord Xiang should have seen that I came here to stabilize the situation in Beihai City and to gain some personal benefits for myself."

Zhang Yifeng walked into the reception room, found a chair and sat down, and said in a calm voice.

Xiang Zhen didn't put on any airs of the city lord after hearing this, and sat down directly next to him.

"Alas, I know the situation in Beihai City better than anyone else, but I couldn't compete with them with my personal strength before."

"I saw these guys doing evil in the city with my own eyes, and I just regretted that I couldn't stop them directly!"

Xiang Zhen gritted his teeth and said, with a flash of resentment in his eyes.

Zhang Yifeng saw his attitude and knew that he was not the kind of waste who preyed on the people.

It seems that these bandits have a lot of power in Beihai City, and even Xiang Zhen, the lord of a city, can't do anything to them.

"Well, Lord Xiang, don't blame yourself. I'm afraid there is a force behind these bandits that you can't imagine."

"I think after these days of experience, Lord Xiang has seen some clues about this."

Zhang Yifeng looked at him calmly and said.

"Yes, it seems that Fellow Daoist Zhang has already known about these bandits."

"If they were not backed by the people behind them, these bandits would never be our opponents."

"But the people behind them are too powerful. They not only improve the strength of these bandits, but also control everything in secret."

"Once I want to make any unusual moves, they will use various methods to warn me."

Xiang Zhen punched the wooden table beside him and said hatefully.

"Well... Lord Xiang, do you know if there is a Lei family among the big families that were slaughtered in Beihai City?"
