Chapter 2559: We must succeed! We will definitely succeed!
Five days passed in a flash.
On Monday morning, Ling Tian walked out of the house, looked at the empty living room, and then walked out.
Lin Qi was naturally in the place arranged by Captain Qi.
You know what, the place Captain Qi arranged was far away from the city, near the city wall, and it was an abandoned outpost.
And precisely because it has been abandoned, no one comes here to disturb it, even monsters will not appear, and there is also a place to rest. It is a heaven-sent treasure land, suitable for Lin Qi to comprehend the sword intent.
Except for Lin Qi, Yuzhe and Xiaohao went to do what they had arranged, so their group was now preparing for the martial arts competition the day after tomorrow, ready to kill with one blow and not let any accidents happen.
After Ling Tian left the house, he first went to see Lin Qi to check his cultivation results.
He then rushed to the city gate and went straight to Captain Qi.
Captain Qi was resting inside the city gate at the moment. Upon seeing Ling Tian appear, he quickly stood up, walked over to Ling Tian, and whispered, "Brother, you're here?"
"Yeah." Ling Tian nodded. "The martial arts competition will be held the day after tomorrow. We should go out and discuss the details of the plan with Jiujiu. Otherwise, it might be too late to discuss it tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Captain Qi didn't rush to answer. Instead, he looked Ling Tian up and down, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes as he asked, "Brother, what realm are you in now? How much stronger have you become during the time you were gone?"
"Don't be curious about this." Ling Tian waved his hand. "All you need to know is that I will personally deal with the four guardians when the time comes. The rest has nothing to do with you. Just look forward to becoming the city lord and make sure your people don't hold you back."
After hearing this, although Captain Qi was curious, he did not continue asking when he heard Ling Tian told him not to.
Captain Qi knew that Ling Tian wanted to leave the city, so after briefly reminding his men of a few precautions, he took Ling Tian away and came to the wooden house where Jiujiu was.
This time, Captain Qi did not wait outside, but followed Ling Tian in.
When the two men walked in, Jiujiu was sitting at the table. It was obvious that she had sensed them and made preparations in advance.
Seeing Jiujiu, Captain Qi was obviously a little nervous. He quickly stood up and lowered his head and said, "Hello, I..."
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense and tell me about your plan. What are you going to do the day after tomorrow? That's all I care about."
Jiujiu directly interrupted Captain Qi without giving him any face at all.
However, this action did not cause Captain Qi to express dissatisfaction. Instead, he said nervously, "Yes, yes, let me tell you, ahem, our plan is..."
Captain Qi recounted the plan he and Ling Tian had agreed upon last time.
After hearing the entire plan, Jiujiu looked at Ling Tian and frowned slightly, saying, "Is this the plan you made?"
"I guess so." Ling Tian shrugged. "Anyway, what we need is to overthrow the city lord. I don't think we should trust those human warriors. Even those under Captain Qi, I have a feeling they will betray us at any time, so the best way is to not count them in."
Ling Tian's words made Captain Qi smile awkwardly, but he couldn't find any point to refute.
After all, what Ling Tian said was not wrong. Not to mention Ling Tian, even Captain Qi himself did not trust the people under his command.
So they did not include too many human warriors in the plan.
After hearing Ling Tian's explanation, Jiujiu nodded: "That's not a problem, but all your plans are based on the fact that the City Lord will actually show up. What if... he doesn't show up?"
After Jiujiu finished speaking, he looked at Captain Qi and frowned slightly. "Captain Qi, you've always said that the City Lord will definitely appear at the martial arts tournament, but why are you so sure he'll show up? If he doesn't show up, will we not take action? Will we be unable to attack the City Lord?"
"This……"
Being questioned by Jiujiu, Captain Qi slowly lowered his head, a flicker of embarrassment in his eyes as he said, "Well... I really didn't think it through enough, but if the city lord doesn't show up, we really can't take action. Even I don't know where he usually is."
"So even if we were to formulate a plan where the City Lord wouldn't show up, we wouldn't have any way of knowing his location, which would make the plan incomplete. Therefore, I think we can only gamble on his appearance. There's no other way."
Captain Qi's words made Jiujiu's eyes flash with displeasure, but she quickly concealed it.
When neither side spoke again, Ling Tian looked at Jiujiu and said, "I've already thought about this. Someone is investigating the City Lord's location, namely Yuzhe and Xiaohao. If the City Lord doesn't show up, then we'll just go and kill him. We can't waste any more time."
Ling Tian's last words were addressed to Jiujiu, clearly reminding her that if she missed this opportunity to find the passage, everything would become much more difficult afterwards.
Jiujiu understood and nodded to Ling Tian, "Okay, I understand. We'll do as you say. If the City Lord doesn't show up at the martial arts tournament, we'll just charge straight in. Captain Qi, I have one last warning for you: don't think you can hide forever just because you're the future City Lord."
"I hope you can be present when we attack the city lord, and I also hope you can make a little more effort. Otherwise, we will re-select the city lord and carefully consider whether you are capable of serving as the city lord. Captain Qi, do you understand?"
Captain Qi stood up hastily after hearing these words. He lowered his head and said, "Yes! I know, and I will definitely contribute my part. Even if it's useless, I won't hide forever. You can all rest assured!"
"Row."
Seeing Captain Qi's reaction, Jiujiu nodded and said, "Then we've pretty much finalized the plan for today. On the day of the martial arts tournament, we'll take action. But you need to tell me when."
"Anytime!" Captain Qi said seriously, but Ling Tian waved his hand aside, "Not anytime. We have to wait until Lin Qi makes a move before we can act. Give him a chance to test his strength. This is what I promised him, and I can't break my promise."
Upon hearing this, before Captain Qi could speak, Jiujiu beside him agreed and said, "That's a small problem. Lin Qi is indeed a good kid. Let's wait until Lin Qi's first match is over, and then we'll make our move. I'll be there on the day of the martial arts competition, and the rest... I'll leave it to you!"
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she looked at Ling Tian with a scrutiny in her eyes.
Ling Tian exhaled and nodded: "Don't worry, we will definitely succeed!"
