Chapter Seven Hundred and Eightieth: Playing the Capital

Originally, Xiao Yu planned to kill Zhao Hongli first after returning to the city.

But for the time being, he changed his plans.

Zhao Hongli was not so easy to kill. At the same time, if he was killed, wouldn't all the heavy responsibility of Xicheng fall on him?

He's not that stupid.

Moreover, the Jin family is now holding a suspicious and covetous attitude towards him, and Zhao Hongli's side will give him a headache for a while.

In any case, Zhao Hongli's life is definitely accepted, and now it depends on the timing.

The news of Xiao Yu's return to the city, as well as the news that he had been stationed in the sandy area brought back to the Ghost Sect, swept through the West City like a whirlwind.

When everyone heard that Ghost Nether Gate actually had a sub-rule in the sandy area, the entire West City became a "city that never sleeps", and everyone was so terrified that they couldn't sleep.

In any case, the three words "Ghost Nether Gate" are like tarsal maggots, which make people feel uneasy. In short, if you don't get rid of it for a day, the whole person will not feel better.

Such movement made Zhao Hongli's mansion full of civil and military officials.

These civil and military officials all looked anxious. Of course, they gathered here to put pressure on Zhao Hongli.

Because they put pressure on Xiao Yu in the marshal's mansion before, but the marshal came back and said that he could not destroy the ghost gate by himself, so what can they do?

But it was Zhao Hongli who played the role!

"Do you think the fifth prince will agree to take action?"

"Isn't it the fifth prince's turn to make a move? West City is the frontier! If the fifth prince doesn't make a move, then we will all die with one piece in our arms!"

"Yes, yes, the fifth prince will definitely not sit idly by."

Inside the mansion, there were three figures, Zhao Hongli, Bao Zhi, and Zheng Jian.

At this time, Zhao Hongli's face was terribly gloomy, and Bao Zhi next to him was also silent, and his face was very heavy anyway.

Of course, Zhao Hongli heard the words from outside, and at the same time, he also knew the news about Xiao Yu.

It was because he knew that his face was so cold.

"I thought we could get rid of this kid with the help of the Ghost Gate, and then we would ask the queen to send other princes to destroy the Ghost Gate, so that we could kill him without bloodshed. I didn't expect him to be so deadly!" Chi said with some annoyance.

Then he asked: "Is it possible that he fabricated this news on purpose? In fact, the Ghost Gate is far from rising as fast as we imagined?"

When Bao Zhi said this, he was looking at Zheng Jian.

The latter also had a calm expression on his face.

Zheng Jian took a long while, took a deep breath, and said: "I'm afraid I will disappoint you. A few days ago we sent several experts into the sandy area, and only one escaped back. It was said that the ghost gate had already occupied the natives. An old site of the tribe, and my men bleed to death after telling me the news."

"What!?" Bao Zhi's expression changed drastically.

"Why are you talking about such an important matter now?"

Zheng Jian said coldly: "I'm afraid it's a trick of Guimingmen. The person I sent was fine when he came back. Why did he die suddenly? It is very likely that Guimingmen let him come back on purpose and told me. I thought it was some kind of conspiracy played by the Ghost Gate..."

Bao Zhi didn't speak. In this way, the Ghost Gate is not playing any conspiracy, but really telling them that the Ghost Gate has really risen in the sand field!

At the same time, they are sending a signal to Xicheng that the Ghost Gate will attack Xicheng soon!

West City is in their pocket!

Bao Zhi looked at Zhao Hongli, feeling extremely worried.

In this way, the boy who survived a catastrophe must have fought against the Ghost Nether Sect. Are they really going to fight?

"Bao Zhi, send them away, just say that the prince will play in the capital."
