Chapter 668 Mo Zhiheng returns to the service (2)
The next morning, Mo Xian'er issued a letter of appointment to Mo Zhiheng in the name of the leader of the Mo clan of the Bingfeng Fairy City and the inheritor of the Mo clan title, appointing him as the acting city lord of the Bingfeng Fairy City to govern the area on behalf of Mo Xian'er.
Mo Zhiheng, who took over the letter of appointment, was overjoyed, but he still made a request.
"City Lord, patriarch, it's not that I'm rash. If I want to be justified, this letter of appointment alone is not enough. You must go to Bingfeng Immortal City and announce it in person to convince the public." Mo Zhiheng rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly, "Otherwise, even if I take this letter of appointment back, others will still question its authenticity."
"Go back to Bingfeng Fairy City in person?" Mo Xian'er looked at Jin Ling.
Mo Feng is dead, so Mo Zhiheng dares not make a fool. If he makes a fool, I will let him know how the word regret is written. Jin Ling thought to himself, and smiled slightly on the surface and stroked Mo Xian'er's head, "Xian'er, you have been away for many years, and you don't know your life and death. Just a letter of appointment, it is really hard to win the trust of the officials of the City Lord's Office and the general public. What the City Lord Mo said makes sense. Let's go back to Xiancheng once, and I will accompany you in person."
"Okay, brother, I'll listen to you." Mo Xian'er nodded vigorously, "But this Jinsong City..."
"Temporarily leave it to Mr. Lang Si to handle it." Jin Ling said, "He is already familiar with all kinds of affairs here, and with the disciples of Shanhai Sect here to protect us, we will go back and there will be no trouble."
Everyone had decided to make a decision, so they made a brief preparation and set off for Bingfeng Fairy City. In addition to Jinling and Mo Xian'er, there were Yingxue and Ye Xiao, as well as a team of ten-man muskets led by Yang Lisheng.
On the way, Mo Zhiheng briefly introduced them to the history and current situation of Bingfeng Immortal City.
The city of Bingfeng Fairy City was built more than 90,000 years ago and was an unbiased historical city. The city-builder Mo Bingfeng was a great hero who followed the Eternal Night Immortal Emperor to overthrow the Tianji Immortal Emperor. After the war, he was pardoned and named it a king, and his fief was thousands of miles north of the Yanzhao Immortal Kingdom. After he arrived there with his subordinates, he stationed in a town and changed it to Bingfeng Fairy City, and began to vigorously expand it. Soon a big city was built. To this day, Bingfeng Fairy City covers an area of more than 4,000 miles and has a population of more than 1,900 million.
Historically, this place was directly under the empire and changed a few times. Later, it was allocated to the vassal state of Yanzhao for political reasons. Since Bingfeng Fairy City is a fief of the Mo family, all the appointments and removals of officials, fiscal and tax revenues, and regional governance were all managed by the Mo family in a family form, and they only nominally paid tribute to the Yanzhao Fairy Kingdom.
Ice-wind Immortal City is 1,500 miles away from Jinsong City. Fortunately, everyone is an immortal, and the mount is also a magic horse with demon beast bloodline. It runs five or six times faster than that of an ordinary horse. After running hard, it arrives at the city of fairy city at night.
This area has a high terrain and a slightly cold climate. You can see the continuous snow-capped tops of the mountain in the distance, still covered with white snow.
The walls of Xiancheng are very tall and thick, and look easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The soldiers who sent out to report to the city in advance came back. When they could not go there, there were two people, and when they came back, they were only one, and they were hit by two arrows and stained with blood.
Seeing this situation, everyone felt bad.
"What's going on?" Mo Zhiheng said angrily.
"Report, City Lord, we just entered the city and met the magistrate Mo Zhixin. He heard us tell us that you have arrived outside the city. Not only did you not bring people to welcome us, but he ordered us to be arrested. Mo Dadong was killed on the spot. I, I tried my best to escape..."
"Mo Zhixin is just a mere magistrate, how dare you do this!" Mo Zhiheng was very angry.
At this moment, there was a panic at the city gate ahead, and hundreds of soldiers flocked out, surrounding them on both sides, surrounding them in the middle. Then, a strong man in his forties, carried a big sword and a group of immortals, walked to Mo Zhiheng's eyes.
"Mo Zhixin!" Seeing that the strong man came from a bad intention, fire almost popped up in Mo Zhiheng's eyes, "What are you going to do?"
The strong man Mo Zhixin laughed and pointed at the front of his sword: "Mo Zhixin, Mo Feng is dead, and the end of your life has come! You are just stupid, so you took so many people out of the city. In the past two days of your stay, I have controlled the city and waited for you to come back to catch you all in one place. Then, the entire Ice Wind Fairy City is mine!"
"Bold!" Mo Zhiheng was furious. He could not have thought that this deputy who was extremely trusting on weekdays would have done such a betrayal just two days after he left the city. It seemed that this guy was obedient on weekdays and had no idea how long he had planned behind his back.
"This is Mo family leader, the title owner, Mo Xian'er, the only daughter of the late city lord! Mo Zhi believes that you, a traitor, will you come to pay homage to the clan leader quickly?" He pointed at Mo Xian'er.
"Haha, wherever you find a woman who looks similar, you will lie to be the daughter of the city lord. Who doesn't know that the daughter of the city lord and Elder Du were all killed by Mo Feng!" Mo Zhixin waved his hand, "Go! Kill these Mo Feng's minions!"
This Mo Zhixin was originally just Mo Zhiheng's deputy, assisting him in charge of the affairs of the city. However, his cultivation is a high-level immortal, higher than Mo Zhiheng, and he is much more capable. Seeing that Mo Zhixin is mediocre and incompetent, he has long had the intention to replace him. Recently, it was a great opportunity for God to send Mo Feng's death. Mo Zhiheng took his confidant to find Mo Xian'er, which just gave Mo Zhixin a good opportunity to control the city.
Now, you only need to kill Mo Zhiheng and his confidant, as well as Mo Xianer and his group, whether it is true or false. Bingfeng Xiancheng is the thing in his pocket.
"Who is this Mo Zhixin?" Jin Ling asked Mo Xian'er in a low voice.
"It's my clan uncle. I met several times when I was a child. I am smart and hardworking." Mo Xian'er replied, "I just didn't expect that he was so ambitious that he even wanted to kill me."
"So what about relatives under huge profits?" Jin Ling sneered, "I have seen many such things."
Mo Xian'er stood in the front row, facing the soldiers of Bingfeng Fairy City who were constantly compressing the encirclement, took out the title token and the enthronement document, and shouted loudly: "I am Mo Zhixing, the former lord of Bingfeng Fairy City, and the only daughter of Mo Xian'er, the lord's wife Liao Yuanxiang! I am also the heir to the title of Mo family! I am the patriarch of the Mo family! This is the title token and the enthronement document! Those who dare to attack me will infringe on the law of the Eternal Night Empire and infringe on the nobles with titles, and will be executed at home!"
Although she is young, she is the only daughter of the city lord of the big city. She has pure bloodlines. When she was young, she was trained by the cultivation resources of the immortal city and has reached the level of the immortal master. These words were heard with great force, and kept floating in the sky, clearly floating into the ears of thousands of soldiers.
After hearing this, most of the soldiers stopped moving forward and were skeptical.
"Mo family has been operating here for thousands of years. All the people in the fairy city have received the favor of Mo family for generations! Do you all want to be the ones who bear the Lord and seek honor!" Mo Xian'er continued to shout, "Mo Feng is dead. I have a title, and I am the legal successor of the fairy city, that is, your immortal master! Those who betray the Immortal Lord and plot to murder the Immortal Lord will be punished, think about it carefully!"
