Chapter 2722: Beheading plan

"City Lord, this is absolutely not the case, the matter hasn't reached that point yet, why should you, City Lord."
Zhang Yifeng felt cold when he saw the token, and hurriedly returned the token to Zhang Yonghua.
Zhang Yifeng's heart was cold because he knew that Zhang Yonghua gave this token to himself because Zhang Yonghua must have been determined to die.
Knowing that he was bound to die, Zhang Yonghua gave this token to himself, with a clear purpose that he wanted Zhang Yifeng to take over as the city lord.
"Master Zhang, you don't have to persuade me anymore, I'm determined!"
"Hey, the old man has no children, and has been dedicated to reforming Youzhou all his life. I seem to be unable to do this heavy burden."
"But Young Master Zhang, you can help me do it, and I believe you will definitely reform Youzhou into what I think of."
Zhang Yonghua smiled and looked at Zhang Yifeng, waiting for Zhang Yifeng's answer.
Zhang Yifeng looked at Zhang Yonghua's heart-to-heart smile, and after a moment of silence, respectfully saluted Zhang Yonghua.
"Zhang Yifeng, he must live up to the trust of the city lord!"
Seeing Zhang Yifeng agreed to take the order, Zhang Yonghua finally smiled comfortably.
"Okay, if you don't mind Young Master Zhang, can I give you a sigh of relief?"
Zhang Yonghua said, with a look of hope in his eyes.
Zhang Yifeng was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he reacted in an instant and nodded.
"Yifeng, this Youzhou main city will be handed over to you in the future, don't let me down at that time."
Zhang Yifeng did not answer, but gave a hmm, and the hand holding the token in his hand was slightly hard.
"Okay, if there is nothing wrong with Master Zhang, please go back and leave the old man here alone."
Zhang Yonghua took a deep breath and waved his hand to Zhang Yifeng, indicating that Zhang Yifeng could leave.
Watching Zhang Yifeng's back, Zhang Yonghua sighed quietly.
He had no children at his knees, and he thought it was nothing, but after meeting Zhang Yifeng, he admired this young man more and more.
Zhang Yonghua also hopes from the bottom of his heart that he can have an heir like Zhang Yifeng, so he already regards Zhang Yifeng as his own child from the bottom of his heart.
There were people around him who could take over the position of City Lord, but out of selfishness, Zhang Yonghua chose to hand over Youzhou to Zhang Yifeng. In this case, Zhang Yifeng will take care of his daughter.
"I hope you don't let me down below, Yifeng."
After murmured to himself, Zhang Yonghua spit out a mouthful of painstaking effort, and the old look on his face became more and more obvious.
One thing Zhang Yonghua didn't tell Zhang Yifeng was that Dark Dragon was not the only one who attacked him that night.
In addition to the dark dragon, there is also a demon whose whole body is wrapped in a black robe. The man has a high cultivation base, similar to Zhang Yonghua's strength.
Zhang Yonghua fought this person to a close match, when the Dark Dragon shot a poisoned arrow secretly and wounded Zhang Yonghua.
The demon also took the opportunity to severely injured Zhang Yonghua, Zhang Yonghua reacted quickly, and also wounded the demon.
The demon and the dark dragon knew that they could not completely kill Zhang Yonghua here, so they retreated in time and were not left behind by the cultivators who had not been rushed over.
The demon's devilish energy eroded Zhang Yonghua's mind all the time. In order to stay awake, Zhang Yonghua did not choose to relax himself, and kept himself busy at work.
It's just that the devil's devilish energy is too strong, and Zhang Yonghua has already sensed that he is running out of time.
He would rather die in battle than die under the erosion of the demon's devilish energy and turn into a monster with no emotions.
Zhang Yifeng didn't know the condition of Zhang Yonghua's body. When Zhang Yonghua's body was checked that day, Zhang Yonghua also deliberately concealed the demonic energy in his body.
Returning to the inn, Zhang Yifeng came to his room and stared at the golden token in his hand.
When Tu Yan found that Zhang Yifeng had gone out and returned, he was uncharacteristically, and suddenly doubts arose in his heart.
Looking up at the golden token in Zhang Yifeng's hand, Tu Yan's eyes showed a look of surprise. They still knew the common language of Lingyue Continent and the demons.
The demons in the Demon Realm had already made enough preparations to fight back to the Lingyue Continent.
Every demon can speak the lingua franca of Lingyue Continent, just to prevent accidents on the way to attack.
"My lord, this is the city lord's order in your hand? Isn't this a token that only the city lord can hold? Have you become the lord of the main city of Youzhou?"
Listening to Tu Yan's words, Zhang Yifeng took a deep breath, shook his head and put the token into the storage ring.
"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, think about your own affairs, don't you hurry up and ask Yuan Ling and the others to get up for dinner?"
Zhang Yifeng casually found a topic to dismiss Tu Yan, and then lay on the bed, looking at the beam above his head, lost in thought.
After dismissing Yuan Ling who had called himself to eat, Zhang Yifeng closed his eyes and fell asleep.
When Zhang Yifeng opened his eyes again, the sky outside was already dark, and Tu Yan on the bed next to him was stroking his forehead with a pensive look.
Just when Zhang Yifeng was about to get up to ask, there was a knock on the door.
Zhang Yifeng walked over and opened the door, and an unexpected figure appeared in front of Zhang Yifeng, it was Anji.
Seeing Anji's arrival, Zhang Yifeng knew that something must have happened. He walked out of the room and closed the door. Zhang Yifeng asked Anji.
"Ms. Anji, is there anything going on looking for me so late?"
"Actually, I didn't come to you, but the city lord asked me to come and discuss with you."
As she said, Anji looked up at Zhang Yifeng, turned her head quickly and walked downstairs, and said as she walked.
Zhang Yifeng frowned upon seeing this and followed Anji's pace.
"It's my suggestion to the city lord. Since the demons can assassinate us, why can't we just assassinate the demons the other way around."
"I got news from the city lord that the demon army has assembled outside the city and can come to attack the city at any time."
Zhang Yifeng raised his eyelids when he heard this, and he understood what An Ji was doing to find him.
"So, the city lord is going to gather a group of assassins to implement the beheading plan?"
"Yes, Young Master Zhang is really a smart man, he can see it all at once."
An Ji smiled and said that in order to prove that the Shadow Tower had been changed, she deliberately went to the City Lord's Mansion to surrender to Zhang Yonghua.
Unexpectedly, from the city lord's mouth, she knew that Zhang Yifeng had already booked a ticket for the Shadow Tower.
After knowing this, Anji's inexplicable love for Zhang Yifeng added a little more.
Afterwards, the city lord discussed some countermeasures with her, and finally the city lord made a final decision to give the Demon Race a surprise attack tonight, trying to kill a few key figures of the Demon Race.
While listening, Zhang Yifeng followed Anji to the downstairs.
It was getting late, the restaurant was closed, and several monks dressed in black were waiting in the lobby on the first floor.
One of them, Zhang Yifeng looked at him with a familiar feeling.
Looking at the other party's cold eyes, Zhang Yifeng remembered that this person was not the one who guarded the entrance of the inn to the underground last night.
