The lobby of the City Lord's Mansion was still brightly lit.
Except for a few who dispersed, most people stayed.
At this time, several singers were dancing vigorously in the center of the lobby, and there were also a few bohemian young men who were grabbing the instruments from the musicians, beating out the tune of gongs and drums, and matching the sounds in the venue. people were partying together, with a cheerful smile on everyone’s face.
But what no one knows is, under these seemingly sincere smiles, in such a stage full of hypocrisy, transactions, and intrigues, how much friendship is true and sincere.
Everyone is like a gambler standing on the sidelines with a bet, carefully weighing every chip and every opponent, thinking about how to place their bets on the most correct side.
The Lord City Lord came out again,
Everyone's eyes lit up. He was always surrounded by the largest number of gamblers and the heaviest chips. If it hadn't been for him, he wouldn't have known how many guests could be invited to such a banquet.
For these busy officials, human warmth has long been placed in a secondary position, and only interests and wealth are the eternal protagonists.
The Lord City Lord waved his hand, and everyone's eyes focused on him.
The music in the venue also stopped, and even the flirtatious singers withdrew.
After the rest just now, the city lord seemed to have completely recovered from his drunken state, and his spirit was even higher.
He smiled and said: "I want to announce a big event here. At Miss Mu's request, we need to remove the last hidden danger outside Jixia City. Therefore, I have decided that in five days, everyone will set out together to completely eliminate the monsters."
After hearing such important news, everyone began to whisper among themselves.
"Lord City Lord" a pleasant voice sounded at this time,
Qian Yunsheng, who was hiding aside, knew that it was Mu Xueqing's voice without even looking.
During the time when the city lord retired, she had a good exchange of feelings with the young talents in the city. This time, she had more fans around her.
She was standing in the middle of the field, and the people surrounding her seemed to have the capital to compete with the Lord of the City.
She frowned and said, "I remember what I asked the Lord of the City before. It would be best if we set out to exterminate the demon tomorrow."
As soon as she finished her pleasant words, there was a buzzing sound all around.
It was as if everyone in the lobby heard the most correct words. Almost everyone nodded frequently, and even a few flower protectors actually spoke out in support of Mu Xueqing's proposal.
This previously unimaginable scene appeared in the lobby. It seemed that these confidants trained by the city lord had become Mu Xueqing's loyal fans overnight.
Qian Yunsheng frowned. He was eager to escape before. Although he saw the flaws in Mu Xueqing's magic sound, he would not interfere.
But it's different now. Five days is the limit of delay that he and the city lord discussed. If it is longer, the other party may become suspicious.
Therefore, within this time, they must prepare everything.
Qian Yunsheng lamented in his heart again. Time was tight and the task was heavy, but seeing the people in the room being fascinated by Mu Xueqing, he had to add another important item to his list.
He didn't know how many he would be able to save by then. Qian Yunsheng thought for a while and decided that he didn't have to worry about the debt, but if it didn't work out, he would just run away.
Although the offensive and defensive alliance established with the city lord has achieved enough benefits, when he really can't hold on in the end, he will not be buried with Ji Xiacheng.
He didn't believe that when the situation was really chaotic enough, he wouldn't be able to find the opportunity to escape.
Therefore, at this point, his interests are temporarily consistent with those of the City Lord's Mansion, which is to try his best to muddy the water first.
The Lord City Lord still had that kind look on his face. He looked at Mu Xueqing with a smile, seemingly not noticing anything unusual about her or the scene.
"They look really alike," Qian Yunsheng sighed silently. As expected, the city lord is not something everyone can do.
He even looked at Mu Xueqing with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, as if he had the same expression of admiration as everyone else in the field.
He said, "Master Mu is absolutely right. Since Master Mu is involved, how can I not be involved?"
"This is a major event for Master Mu, and also a major event for us in Jixia City, so I have to make good preparations and go out with Master Mu to slay the demons when the time comes."
Although Qian Yunsheng already knew what the Lord of the City was going to say, the words that came out of his mouth with such impassioned words, as if he loved beauty rather than the country, still made Qian Yunsheng feel an inexplicable sense of joy, as if An old tree is about to sprout new buds.
The crowd was buzzing again, and everyone was nodding. It was so natural and correct for them, a group of people who were struggling in the secular world, to reach out and pick a Buddha flower offered in a pure vase.
This kind of naturalness and correctness seems to be imprinted in the bones, customs, and upbringing. It seems that it would be strange if the city lord did not have such admiration and pursuit of Mu Xueqing.
Mu Xueqing opened her mouth. She did not expect that her Xuantian Shao Yin Demonic Sound Technique would have such a strange effect.
In other words, deep inside, the real Mu Xueqing was still causing trouble with herself, so much so that she seemed to have lost her ability to speak eloquently at this moment.
She realized in a dumbfounded way that perhaps it was her ability to confuse everyone that affected the city lord's decision to mobilize his troops.
You know, when I visited the city lord as soon as I returned to the city, I clearly told him that I had discovered the location of the demon.
At that time, the other party still acted like a normal city lord.
As a result, after a banquet, all plans were disrupted by this little accident.
"As you wish." Mu Xueqing lowered her head and paid a slight tribute.
My Xuantiansha Yin Demonic Sound Technique can only temporarily confuse the minds of the people present, allowing them to make decisions that are beneficial to them without knowing it.
But if you ask too much, the other party may still be able to escape this influence.
Only those who he had talked to face to face in the middle of the field just now, and those whom he had strengthened with the Xuantian Shao Yin Demonic Sound Technique,
Only then will they truly do whatever they say, even if they are asked to take out their heart, liver, and lungs now, they will not frown.
But the city lord has not given himself such a chance yet.
But don't worry, Mu Xueqing's eyes flashed with a dangerous light,
"In the later time, as long as you give me another chance to strengthen my influence, I think I can completely control this old guy. When the time comes, I am afraid that if I ask him to lick the soles of my feet, he will obediently do it."
Mu Xueqing thought so, and a smile exactly like the witch's appeared on her face, which was extremely beautiful under the lights in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion.
