Before the banquet was over, Qian Yunsheng had already slipped out of the house.
He silently swore in his heart that he would not care about the spiritual stone. He would leave immediately while his feet were still on his legs and his head was still on his neck.
He wasn't even in the mood to pack his things. In fact, after Mu Xueqing finished speaking, he was already on pins and needles. If he wasn't afraid that someone would notice something strange, he wouldn't even be able to swallow a single dish or a sip of wine.
He finally understood now that the flower-like smile that Mu Xueqing's beautiful face showed to everyone was not a kind smile to the people present. It was clearly the prey that had been placed on the chopping board, and then the butcher's expression of joy. Satisfied smile.
Just when he had already stepped out of the City Lord's Mansion and was about to swim freely in the sea like a fish,
"Brother Qian",
A voice that sounded like a reminder came to my ears.
Qian Yunsheng's steps froze. He felt as if he had spent all his strength to slowly take back his foot that had already stepped out of the door.
Mr. Zhang’s face appeared in front of Qian Yunsheng.
His face was slightly red, and the wings of his nose were flaring. He grabbed Qian Yunsheng's sleeves and complained: "Brother Qian made it easy for me to find you. Come with me quickly. It should be a good thing for father to see you." .”
After saying that, Qian Yunsheng didn’t allow Qian Yunsheng to refute at all.
He dragged him back without any explanation.
After passing through several rooms, Qian Yunsheng estimated the location, which should be the back hall, and finally saw the intoxicating Lord of the City.
Rather than sitting, the Lord is lying on his back on a large chair. Several thick cushions around him propped up his bloated body, allowing the Lord to breathe freely.
Seven or eight maids were busy around him, some wiping sweat, some wiping hands, and some helping sober up and undress.
When the Lord City Lord saw his son walking in with Qian Yunsheng, he opened his eyes and waved his hand to drive away the maids.
A smile appeared on his fat face, and he pointed to the chair next to him and said politely: "Sit."
Qian Yunsheng didn't see Mu Xueqing in this relatively luxurious room, so he felt slightly relieved.
The reason why he spent a lot of perseverance to pull his foot back just now was mainly because he was thinking about how he would face Mu Xueqing if he met her.
Fortunately, the worst outcome did not occur, and he felt that the pressure on his body suddenly lightened.
The Lord of the City waved his hand and sent his son to the front to greet the guests on his behalf, while asking the maids to bring the tea.
The city lord watched the maids serving tea retreat, and then said with a smile: "Let Quanzi invite the young master here alone. It is true that the young master has contributed a lot to this disaster. If the young master Qian hadn't come up with such a wonderful method, I'm afraid I would have We are in trouble for food for Jixia City next year."
Qian Yunsheng's butt half fell on the chair,
Hearing that the Lord of the City had just stood up, he immediately said with words: "Your Excellency, you have given me a compliment. I, a small countryman in the mountains, do not deserve your praise. I wonder what the Lord of the City has to do with recruiting a villain?"
In fact, what he meant was: "Stop beating around the bush. I have something urgent to do. Let me go quickly."
The Lord of the City continued to smile, as if he did not notice that Qian Yunsheng was sitting on pins and needles and said: "Quinzi said that he had also arranged an officer to patrol the city for Young Master Qian,"
"I think that with the young master's great achievements, the salary offered by this official is a bit low. How about if I arrange a higher salary for you, sir, I can also increase the monthly spiritual stone for you to five hundred." ?”
If it were before, Qian Yunsheng would have been absolutely willing. Five hundred spiritual stones a month would be enough for him to go to the East China Sea five times.
It's a pity that his mind is not on this at all now. He smiled bitterly and said: "I must disappoint the Lord of the City. I have been in Donghai for a while. I just learned that my hometown was hit by a disaster. If it weren't for this monster thing, I should have been there." I have already asked your Majesty to resign,"
"I saw the Lord of the City today, and I was about to mention this matter to you. I also asked you to let me go home and take a look, otherwise I really won't be able to feel at ease."
"Of course, if the adults are considerate and willing to exchange this reward for spiritual stones, that would be even better."
After Qian Yunsheng finished speaking, after waiting for a while, he saw that the Lord of the City had closed his eyes slightly.
It seemed to him that he had been waiting for a long time. The Lord of the City finally opened his eyes, broke the silence in the field, looked at Qian Yunsheng with a smile and said: "Since my hometown has suffered a disaster, I really should go back and take a look. I don't know, Master Qian." When are you leaving?”
Qian Yunsheng's head hung even lower. When he saw the Lord of the City agreeing to come down, he felt happy and said quickly: "If the Lord agrees, of course the sooner the better. If you allow it, please make an order. I think today We’ll go out of town at night.”
Once again, there was no sound from above for a while. Qian Yunsheng felt strange. He raised his head and saw the Lord of the City staring at him with a half-smile.
He saw Qian Yunsheng looking up and said something softly, which almost made Qian Yunsheng jump up from his chair.
"Do you think the demon will let you leave this city so easily?"
When the Lord City Lord said this, he still had that unhurried expression.
His eyes were plain and steady. For a moment, Qian Yunsheng felt as if he was seeing an old captain driving a ship. The calmness in his eyes when facing the overwhelming storm. .
"What are the adults talking about, why can't the little one understand?" Qian Yun was upset and simply confused to the end.
The city lord didn't answer him. He looked at the narrow corner of the sky in the courtyard with eyes that seemed to see through people's hearts, and answered the question: "You have to bear the disasters caused by others. I'm afraid you are as unwilling as me. Bar."
"How did he find out?" Qian Yunsheng trembled inwardly, and quickly took two deep breaths, as if he was trying to push his heart that was about to jump out of his chest back into his chest.
He asked cautiously: "Is it possible that there are some rumors that have caused your Excellency to misunderstand?"
The Lord City Lord put away his smile and sighed: "Fortunately, you are not the one. I have arranged enough things in this room to deal with you. If you were also possessed by a demon, I am afraid you would not have the chance to sit here and talk to me again." I spoke."
Qian Yunsheng was once again so frightened that he almost jumped up, but he still held on to the armrest tightly and smiled with an expression that he thought was crying: "The adults are joking, why can't I understand? "
The Lord of the City sighed faintly, and Qian Yunsheng could hear various intertwined and complex emotions from this sigh.
He pulled out a round bead from his body that had a hint of black energy inside and said, "This is the Qianhuan Bead. It has many wonderful uses. One of them is that if a demon comes close to me, this bead will turn black."
"And when Mu Xueqing got close to me, the beads turned extremely dark."
Then he laughed at himself and said, "Just because I am not a Qigong practitioner like you but a mortal, I pay more attention to these life-saving things."
Then in Qian Yunsheng’s eyes, which suddenly appeared,
He spoke again: "Since you know everything, sit tight and let's talk in another place."
After saying that, he patted the armrest, and all their seats flipped down with the sound of the machine.
