Running through the night.
Finally, an hour later, Lin Ran and the others returned safely to Heavenly City.
But as soon as they entered the city, they ran into Hu Chong head-on.
“Commander Lin, General Long has been waiting for a long time!”
“I’ve been waiting for him for a long time too!”
Lin Ran’s face was icy cold as he followed Hu Chong straight to the City Lord’s residence.
Inside the City Lord’s residence, Lin Ran met Long Mo.
“Lin Ran, I’m really sorry, my spies have also just sent back word that the hostages have been transported away!”
As soon as they met, Long Mo said guiltily.
“News just came back, your spies are really well informed, didn’t they send back anything else?”
Lin Ran sneered.
“Look at you, you know how sincere I am about this operation, no one wants it to be like this, right?”
Long Mo spread his hands with a impatient face.
“Is it useful to say this? I just want to ask you, what are you going to do with this hostage!”
Lin Ran questioned.
“I’ve thought about it, but I’ll have to think about it in the long run. The hostages have already been transported to the local army, so I’m sure they can’t be saved for a while!”
Long Mo sighed.
“What a long term plan, I’m afraid that by the time you think of a good solution, the hostages will have all been killed!”
Lin Ran said in a cold voice, while turning around and walking away.
“Hey! What are you doing, Commander Lin? I thought we were discussing, why are you leaving!”
Long Mo was busy stepping forward to stop Lin Ran.
“Get out of the way!”
Lin Ran’s face was ugly, this Long Mo obviously wasn’t prepared to rescue him properly, and he was afraid that he had sent himself out for another purpose before, at this moment Lin Ran’s heart was vaguely uneasy, he just wanted to hurry back to South City.
“Little friend Lin Ran, what are you doing? Let’s discuss this again!”
Long Mo persuaded.
The more he did this, the more it made Lin Ran suspicious.
In normal days, Long Mo hated to get him killed, so how could he be so interested in discussing with himself today.
“Get out of the way!”
Lin Ran’s face was icy cold, his palm already holding the Condensing Frost Sword.
“Lin …..”
Long Mo was just about to speak, when suddenly Hu Chong next to him was rushing in.
“General no good! The corpses of our eyes have been found outside the city gates!”
“What? Where is the person?”
Long Mo asked busily.
“Outside!”
Hu Chong said respectfully.
“Go out and take a look!”
Long Mo greeted and immediately walked out.
Lin Ran also had a slight frown on his face at this moment and immediately followed him out.
The crowd soon saw three corpses on the ground outside.
All of them had blackened faces and their necks were as black as charcoal.
“This is the Phantom Lady’s poison needle!”
Long Mo’s face instantly changed.
“My lord, there is also a letter here!”
Long Mo smiled and quickly brought the letter over to check it.
At this glance he was instantly furious and his face turned blue.
“This Phantom Lady, she actually came to my Heavenly City to cause trouble again!”
Said Long Mo, looking towards Lin Ran.
“Lin Ran you have seen it all, this Phantom Ji killed my spies, this misinformation about the previous operation must have been deliberately put out by her as well, this is something I really wish for!”
Lin Ran looked at him coldly without speaking, turned around and left.
But he had just walked to the entrance of the city lord’s residence, and before he could go out, there was a noisy sound from outside.
Fixing his eyes on it turned out to be Ah Zhan and Old Cat.
“Let us in!”
The two kept shouting, but the guards at the entrance were not letting them in at all.
“Get out of the way!”
Lin Ran roared angrily and instantly walked out of the City Lord’s residence.
“What’s going on?”
Lin Ran looked at the two men.
“Boss,? Where’s Leng Zhan?”
“Yeah! And where’s Long Ya Ling Sa? We heard you had come back, but how come they didn’t come back with you!”
The two men asked busily.
“Back together? Where did they go?”
Lin Ran’s face instantly changed, he had always been a little uneasy in his heart, and he didn’t expect that something had actually happened now.
Old Cat immediately explained what had happened, and Lin Ran’s face instantly changed as he listened.
“Mobilise the people and go out of the city to find someone!”
Lin Ran said in an angry voice.
“Yes!”
The two Old Cats were about to go back and shout for people at once.
But at that moment, a voice suddenly came over on the strong.
“You can’t leave the city now!”
Lin Ran turned his head to look and was seeing Long Mo standing on top of the City Lord’s residence with a bemused look on his face.
“Long Mo! Where the hell are they!”
Lin Ran’s face was icy cold, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
“You’re asking me? I was going to ask you! When I got word that the hostage thing was a fake, I immediately sent my men to prepare to meet you!”
“In order to protect your people, I even sent the Heavenly City Guards, but now my Heavenly City Guards have disappeared along with them!”
Long Mo said angrily.
“Would you be so kind?”
Lin Ran said in a cold voice.
“It’s up to you to believe it or not, the Heavenly City Guard went to the South City to inform your men, which many people saw with their own eyes!”
“And now my Heavenly City Guards have not returned either, are you the only one who has lost men, Lin Ran? Am I, Long Mo, the only one who hasn’t?”
Long Mo scolded.
Lin Ran looked at Long Mo without saying a word.
At this moment, Lin Ran already knew that he had definitely fallen for Long Mo’s trick.
A ploy to transfer the tiger away from the mountain.
“Lin Ran, I know you’re angry, but the more you do this instead, the more you’ve fallen for Phantom Ji and the others’ scheme!”
“My eyes were killed, and the Heavenly City Guards even disappeared with your men without if nothing else, they were obviously kidnapped by the Phantom Lady, you must remain calm now!”
Long Mo said pretending to be bitter.
“Calm? I’m not as cold-blooded as you!”
Lin Ran said as he turned around and was about to leave, and by now those of his men in Nancheng had also rushed over at the news.
“Lin Ran what do you want! I’m the general guarding this place, I don’t care if you want to go and save people, but you can’t bring so many people to their deaths!”
Long Mo said in a cold voice.
Lin Ran smiled and raised his head to look at the sixty people in front of him.
“They are warriors of my Skywolf Domain, although they are under your command Lin Ran, but you want to take real people to risk their lives for the sake of a few people, do you take me, the great general of the Skywolf Domain’s town guard, for a show?”
Long Mo scolded in a stern voice.
Lin Ran turned his head to look at him, his silver teeth clenched, and after a moment he spoke.
“Fine! I’ll go myself!”
Lin Ran said and turned around to leave.
Long Mo was right, he couldn’t risk taking so many people with him, it would be irresponsible for them.
But for Lin Ran to stand by and watch Long Ya and Ling Sa get into trouble and not care, he couldn’t do that either.
“I’m going too! I’ll represent the individuals!”
Suddenly, Old Cat, who was standing at the back, spoke up.
“And me too!”
Battle also spoke up.
“Me!”
“I ….”
“And us!”
Many of them stood out one after another, they looked at Long Mo with determination in their eyes, without a hint of negotiation.
“Nonsense!”
Long Mo’s face was ugly and he was just about to open his mouth to reprimand.
But Li Mu Di, who was at the side, spoke up.
“Who’s fooling around with you? You may not save the hostages, but we won’t let our comrades go without saving them!”
“Right!”
“Right!”
The crowd shouted in unison, which made Long Mo’s face look very ugly.
“Lin Ran you have thought this through!”
Long Mo looked towards Lin Ran, these generals were not listening to him at all, and he still wanted to start from Lin Ran’s side.
However, who knew that Lin Ran was with a smile on his face and turned around and rushed at Long Mo.
“You have your rules, but you can’t control the hearts of the people, they want to follow me, not because of how they can, but because I am their brother, their comrade in arms!”
“When I, Lin Ran, run into problems, I at least have someone to help!”
“But you, Long Mo, are too pathetic!”
After saying that, Lin Ran didn’t bother with Long Mo and turned around and led the group out of Heavenly City.
