Wang Tianzhou smiled and squeezed the little girl's neck harder: "Let's see which one is faster, Senior Yang's gun or your attack."

The old blind man calmly sat up straighter. His sunken eyelids trembled and he wanted to open them, but seemed unable to.

He sighed and said, "Wang Tianzhou, you don't need to test me. If I really want to kill you, it will only take one shot."

Wang Tianzhou smiled and said, “Then Senior Yang must have the strength to break through the realm of space.”

The old blind man said in denial: "Let her go."

Wang Tianzhou loosened his grip and the little girl fell to the ground, howling miserably. A slovenly woman nearby grabbed her daughter's legs and pulled her to her side, then curled up in a corner holding her daughter's head, not daring to breathe.

"What do you want from me?"

"The Azure Dragon of Qingmang Mountain was killed by the senior, right?"

"Yes, you want to avenge him?"

"I dare not. I came here just to discuss something with you."

"Tell me."

"I don't want you to interfere in Lizhou's affairs."

"You mean those bandits?"

"Yes, and the Ninth Prince."

"I was entrusted by someone. I will kill anyone who dares to touch me. As for the hundreds of thousands of bandits in Lizhou, Wang Tianzhou, do you think Ning Wu doesn't know what you are thinking?"

The old blind man sneered, and the Ning Wu he was referring to was Emperor Ning.

Wang Tianzhou's old eyes flickered: "So what if he knows? He has no intention to come to Lizhou to suppress the bandits now. When he has time, the bandit problem in Lizhou should spread to Luozhou and Qingyang."

The old blind man shook his head repeatedly, "Comparatively speaking, your methods are far inferior to Gu Qingyang's."

Hearing this, a hint of displeasure flashed in Wang Tianzhou's eyes. In terms of cultivation strength, he was better than Gu Qingyang, but he was more than 300 years younger than Gu Qingyang, and he still had hope of reaching the Sky Breaking Realm in this lifetime.

"You want to disrupt the Daning Dynasty and take advantage of the situation, but have you ever thought that if you want to overthrow Daning, you lack too many things."

"Senior, please teach me what I am lacking?"

"One, no luck; two, no prestige; three, no virtue; four, no strength. Strength is not important. The first three are important. You don't have any of them. Even if you arm all the disciples of Dinghai Tower and cooperate with hundreds of thousands of bandits, you can only get out of Lizhou at most. You can't even get through Luozhou and Qingyang."

The old blind man said lightly.

Wang Tianzhou stared at the old blind man and said nothing more.

He didn't believe in something as illusory as luck. As for prestige, as the owner of Dinghai Tower, he still had a lot of prestige in Lizhou.

As for virtue, everyone has a different view.

"So, Senior, you plan to intervene in Lizhou's affairs?"

"I won't care what you, Wang Tianzhou, do, but if I see injustice, I will definitely intervene. After all, I am still a living person, and I have to have some humanity."

"Also, Ninth Prince, please don't move. If you touch him, I will kill you. Go ahead."

After saying this lightly, the old blind man hugged the wooden stick and lay down again.

Wang Tianzhou took a deep breath, stared at the old blind man for a while, then turned and left.

He had never seen Yang Yu, but from the tone of his voice, he had already confirmed the latter's identity: the Gun Saint Yang Yu.

He didn't have the confidence that he could beat Yang Yu, and he came here just to test Yang Yu's purpose of coming to Lizhou.

"Who invited him?" Wang Tianzhou was thinking about this question along the way.

Yang Yu, the Spear Saint, was a very arrogant person. Even the Martial Emperor might not be able to control him. So who could make him willing to stay in Lizhou to protect a powerless prince?

……

Shanhai City.

A group of cavalry came quickly. When the commander at the city gate saw that they were the Demon-Suppressing Army, his face changed slightly and he did not dare to stop them at all.

Wang Yan led the demon-suppressing army to stop at the city gate, looked at the commander and said, "Take me to the Su family."

The commander was only at the Yudan level, so how could he disobey? He immediately mounted his horse and rushed to the Su family with Wang Yan and others.

The citizens of the city were surprised and delighted when they saw the mighty and powerful army of more than a thousand soldiers suppressing demons.

Not long after.

Wang Yan and others appeared outside the Su family, only to see that the gate was damaged and the inside was in ruins. Some members of the Su family were sorting things out.

"Is this the Su family?" Wang Yan frowned.

"General Wang, this is it." The commander said, "Three nights ago, the Su family was attacked by bandits at night."

Hearing this, Wang Yan ignored the commander, dismounted and walked towards the Su family.

The Su family had already been alarmed by the more than 1,000 demon-suppressing troops. When Su Lin and the others saw Wang Yan coming alone, they didn't know what he meant, so they asked cautiously, "What does this general want to do in our Su family?"

"Are you the head of the Su family?" Wang Yan stared at Su Lin.

"It's me." Su Lin nodded repeatedly.

"Where is the Ninth Prince?" Wang Yan asked via voice transmission.

Su Lin's eyes flickered, and he was about to reply when a voice came from not far away: "Wang Yan."

Ning Chen, Yan Conglong and three others came over.

Seeing that Ning Chen was safe and sound, Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Ninth Prince."

"No need to be polite."

Ning Chen lifted Wang Yan up and winked at him.

Wang Yan nodded and walked towards the depths of the Su family with Ning Chen.

As they walked, he said, "Lord Chen heard that the Su family was moving to Fulong Territory, so he sent the Demon Suppression Army to escort them."

Ning Chen nodded: "Lord Chen is thoughtful."

Yan Conglong frowned slightly. When did the Ninth Prince get in touch with Lord Chen from Fulong Realm?
It's him?

Yan Conglong thought of Su Jingyi. Su Jingyi left the Su family on the night they came to the Su family. He didn't care about it at that time, but he noticed during this period that Su Jingyi had not come back.

However, the Ninth Prince did not tell him about this, and it was obvious that he was wary of him.

In a large hall.

Ning Chen and Wang Yan were together, and the Tiangang Qi cover enveloped the hall.

Yan Conglong frowned slightly, he couldn't even try.

"Brother Ding, Brother Xian asked me to tell you to make a big fuss in Lizhou. The bigger the noise, the better." Wang Yan told Ning Chen exactly what he said.

Ning Chen pondered over Chen Xian's words, then smiled and nodded.

The louder the noise, the safer he will be.

The more serious the trouble, the more reassured his father and the eldest prince were about him.

On the contrary, because he remained silent, he was suspected by his father and feared by the eldest prince.

"This letter is given to you by Brother Xian." Wang Yan took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Ning Chen.

Ning Chen opened the letter in front of Wang Yan. The content of the letter was very simple, telling him to contact Gou Da Teng from the Gou family if he encountered difficulties in Lizhou and could not carry on with the resistance.

"Gou family?" Ning Chen murmured.

The Gou family is the largest family in Lizhou, with a history of thousands of years. Its overall strength is stronger than that of Dinghai Tower.

Is Chen Xian also connected to the Gou family?
"When do you plan to set off?" Ning Chen looked at Wang Yan.

"If the Su family is ready, they can set off now." Wang Yan said, "Fulong City is under construction and has taken shape, but not many people are going there to take root. We are short of manpower."

"There's no rush to lack people." Ning Chen said.

Wang Yan grinned: "Brother Xian has introduced a birth policy, advocating that every household have more children, and there are subsidies for having one more child. The young couples who migrated there are also very motivated. If nothing unexpected happens, Fulong City will have an additional 300,000 people in three years."

"Brother Xian said there are other policies, tax exemption policies, investment promotion, etc. I don't understand. Anyway, it is to attract people from all over the Daning Dynasty to develop in Fulong City." "By the way, martial arts families can also develop there. Brother Xian said that if a martial arts family moves to Fulong City, he will help them create their own martial arts and improve the grade and power of their martial arts."

Ning Chen was a little stunned. Birth control policy? Tax exemption policy? Investment attraction? Deduction of martial arts? This...

"Brother Ding, please help me see if there are any princesses who want to come to Fulong City. Introduce a few more to me. I must also lend a hand with the birth policy advocated by Brother Xian." Wang Yan grinned.

Ning Chen also smiled: "Okay, I'll help you keep an eye out."

after one day.

Su Lin led the Su family and followed Wang Yan and other demon-suppressing troops to leave Shanhai City.

As for the Su family mansion, it remained in Shanhai City for the time being and was not sold.

Before Su Ting left, he repeatedly reminded Ning Chen: "Xiao Chen, you must find out the cause of your mother's death. If she was killed by someone, you must avenge your mother!"

Ning Chen's eyes were slightly red: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely find out everything."

The news of the Su family's departure naturally alarmed many small families and sects in Shanhai City, and many people became interested.

Dinghai Tower had already received the news that the demon-suppressing army had entered the city.

Wang Tianzhou has arranged for the second in command of Qingmang Mountain to prepare to kill the Su family.

He didn't dare to kill the Demon-Suppressing Army, but the Su family could not leave Shanhai City, otherwise some oppressed small families and sects in Shanhai City would definitely follow suit.

However, what made Wang Tianzhou angry was that Zhang Hu, the second in command of Qingmang Mountain, led three thousand bandits to stop the Su family, but instead of stopping them, they were all killed, and none of the three thousand bandits survived.

Even Zhang Hu's body was not found, nor were the bodies of some people with Tiangang cultivation level. Only the bodies of some bandits below the Yudan realm were found.

Judging from the corpse, the person who attacked this time was not the Gun Saint Yang Yu.

"Evil spirit?"

Wang Tianzhou grabbed a ball of dark evil spirit from a corpse, but he couldn't tell what kind of evil it was.

"Go and check what kind of demon is against my Dinghai Tower?" Wang Tianzhou ordered.

After three days, Dinghai Tower still hadn't found the murderer.

Wang Yan and the Demon-Suppressing Army escorted the Su family out of Lizhou and arrived at the southern city of Luozhou.

Outside the South City is the Fulong Territory, Chen Xian’s fiefdom.

“Grandpa, the Su family still moved away.”

In the Feng family hall, Feng Yuanling was so angry that he wanted to go crazy. Su Jinglan, whom he had been thinking about all the time, was gone, and he would never see her again in this life.

Feng Shaoshan's face was solemn. The demon-suppressing army that came from Fulong Territory had strong overall strength, much stronger than the reserve soldiers in the Lizhou military camp.

The key point is that Zhang Hu, the second in command of Qingmang Mountain, led three thousand bandits to stop and kill them, but they all died.

He is not the same person who killed Qinglong and others.

It can be seen that the Demon-Suppressing Army is still very terrifying.

It should be said that Chen Xian is very scary.

Without anyone showing up, they took away all the more than 300 members of the Su family.

……

Lizhou.

Ding Mansion.

Ning Chen has returned. Ma Junpeng, who returned to Five Wolf Peak, just as he expected, brought the leader of Five Wolf Peak and more than 300 people to surrender.

Because he was away, the six people in the mansion temporarily assigned Ma Junpeng and others to Li Quanwu.

Ma Junpeng and others were more than happy to receive this.

Although the Li family of Lizhou is not the strongest, they are much more powerful than their Five Wolf Peak.

Ning Chen went to find Nie Yongxuan blatantly.

Nie Yongxuan already knew about Ning Chen's stay in Shanhai City, so he stopped calling him Master Ding and directly addressed him as His Highness the Ninth Prince.

"How many soldiers are there in the Lizhou military camp?" Ning Chen asked.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Nie Yongxuan didn't know what Ning Chen meant.

"Have you reported the threat of bandits in Lizhou to Kyoto?" Ning Chen asked expressionlessly.

Nie Yongxuan nodded repeatedly: "Report to Your Highness, I have reported it."

"Report truthfully?"

"this……!"

Nie Yongxuan's face turned pale. He felt uncomfortable being stared at by Ning Chen. He knelt down immediately and said, "Your Highness, I have no choice. Dinghai Tower and the Zhuang family have teamed up to threaten me. If I don't comply with their demands, they will kill more than 200 people in my family."

Ning Chen's eyes flickered slightly: "You mean, the bandit problem in Lizhou was caused by the Zhuang family and Dinghai Tower?"

"Yes, all the bandits in Lizhou have the Zhuang family and Dinghai Tower as their backers. The Zhuang family and Dinghai Tower are also related by marriage, and the two major forces are closely related."

Ning Chen said coldly: "Don't we still have the Gou Family and Fushan Sword Sect in Lizhou? Why don't you ask for help?"

Nie Yongxuan smiled bitterly: "The Gou family is unwilling to get involved in the affairs of the court, and the Fushan Sword Sect is the same. I have gone to them several times, but they are unwilling to take action. I guess they are afraid of something."

"What are you afraid of?" Ning Chen asked.

Nie Yongxuan shook his head: "I don't know either."

"Besides you, who else is threatened?" Ning Chen asked again.

"In Lizhou, all officials, big and small, are threatened by the Zhuang family and Dinghai Tower. I report the threat of Lizhou bandits to the capital every year, but I dare not report some problems because they concern the lives of Lizhou officials and their families, tens of thousands of people."

"I also want to get rid of them, but I don't have the power to do so. Whether Kyoto has sent someone to investigate or not, this matter has been delayed. I can only deal with them and survive for the time being."

"Please understand, Your Highness the Ninth Prince."

"You get up first." Ning Chen glanced at Nie Yongxuan coldly: "You are a powerful person in the Myriad Realm at least, but you are actually threatened by an aristocratic family and a sect. Do you have any future?"

Nie Yongxuan's face was full of bitterness: "It is not a pity for me to die, but my family and the families of all Lizhou officials will be implicated. With so many lives, it is really difficult for me."

Ning Chen said coldly: "Have you ever thought about how many people in Lizhou have been displaced or even killed because of your troubles? I'm afraid there are hundreds of thousands of people who died. Are their lives not lives?"

Nie Yongxuan looked unhappy and kept his head down without saying a word.

Ning Chen's eyes flashed with coldness. He didn't intend to argue with Nie Yongxuan about this now. As the lord of Lizhou City, Nie Yongxuan must have a major responsibility.

After he has wiped out all the bandits in Lizhou, he will settle accounts with Nie Yongxuan.

"Have the Zhuang family and Dinghai Tower already known the purpose of my coming to Lizhou?"

"Your Highness, they asked me, and I said that Your Highness came to Lizhou for inspection."

"Very good. From today on, we will wipe out the bandits in Lizhou. Anyone who obstructs this will be executed. If anyone refuses to obey, let him come to me." Ning Chen said coldly, "Go and call the general of the Lizhou military camp to me."

"I'll go right away." Nie Yongxuan retreated cautiously.

After leaving the hall, he let out a long breath.

He had never come into contact with the Ninth Prince, but he had heard of the humiliation he had suffered in the palace.

The last time I saw Ning Chen, I didn’t think he was someone who could do great things.

However, Ning Chen went to Shanhai City and came back like a different person, full of confidence.

Could it be the Gun Saint Yang Yu?

Thinking of the Gun Saint Yang Yu, Nie Yongxuan felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. There should be no one in the entire Lizhou who could fight against the Gun Saint Yang Yu.

If Yang Yu really helped the Ninth Prince secretly, then his life as the Lord of Lizhou would be in danger sooner or later.

On the way to Lizhou military camp.

Nie Yongxuan thought a lot. He had no choice now. If he sided with the Zhuang family and Dinghai Tower, he would be dead. If he actively cooperated with the Ninth Prince, he might have a chance to redeem himself.

"Alas, life is so hard!" (End of this chapter)
