"I am now a first-class spiritual being. As for Bai Hao, it was me and Suzaku who killed him together."
Mu Qing's answer made some people feel more relaxed, but then gave rise to greater doubts. Many people speculate that Bai Hao has reached the late extraordinary stage. The so-called killing by joint force may be just assistance.
Luo Yun glanced at Qinglong and Xuanwu carefully and asked, "Senior Suzaku seems not to be attending?"
Mu Qing frowned and said, "This is not something you can care about."
On the Hidden Valley side, Dugu Wei, who was sitting on the edge, stared at Xie Ming with an indifferent expression and said, "If you want to question his strength, you can have a fight with him instead of comparing yourself to others."
Luo Yun was stunned. He didn't expect that mentioning Suzaku would cause such a big reaction, and he quickly begged for mercy.
At this time, Chen Zhuo said slowly: "I can understand your doubts. After all, everyone believes that seeing is believing. I didn't see it either, but Suzaku rushed to the inner city at the last moment that day. During this period, there was no wood. Qing and Bai Hao are fighting.”
Xing Fei said in a deep voice: "If Mu Qing hadn't stopped Bai Hao, the inner city would have become a purgatory. If you have any doubts, you can come to the military camp to find me after you leave later, and I will take you underground. have a look."
Qinglong said at this moment: "I can prove that the strength Mu Qing can exert is not weaker than the extraordinary peak."
Hidden Valley has always relied on strength to speak. Qinglong and Xing Fei spoke up to support Mu Qing at the same time. Even though they still felt absurd in their hearts, no one questioned Mu Qing's strength again.
Mu Qing knew that if he couldn't accept this situation, what happened next would only make people feel even worse. He looked at everyone, kept calm and continued to ask: "Is there anything else? I am willing to show my sincerity, I also hope you can ask some sincere questions.”
After a brief silence, a middle-aged man who seemed to be the oldest and was vaguely the leader of the people in Suzaku City asked: "I would like to ask Mr. Mu Qing, in what capacity do you become the city lord?" To be more specific, are you Lin Xiao’s son or Hidden Valley’s recommended candidate?”
Chen Zhuo was about to speak, but was interrupted by this person, who said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Chen, I am not Xie Ming. I hope to ask more clearly, because this is about whether there will be chaos after arriving in Suzaku City, and how long it will last. "
The man glanced at everyone in Hidden Valley and continued without fear of death: "Suzaku City is the largest city in the southern border of the imperial dynasty. No one will feel sorry for Bai Hao when he died for his rebellious behavior, but if the city lord of Suzaku City cannot get the emperor If you admit it, does that count as a traitor? So, identity is very important."
This time, more eyes from Hidden Valley fell on Mu Qing.
Mu Qing said calmly: "A person can have many identities, but I don't want to be bound by these identities. You should see what I have done and what I want to do."
Xing Fei nodded in agreement, but he didn't buy it. He pondered for a moment and said with a look of death: "To be honest, the medicinal material trade between my Zhu family and the Banshan Gang is a relationship established by several generations. So I know more, I heard that there are masters starting from Baidi City, I wonder if you can stop them when the time comes, or will you run away when the situation is bad?"
Chen Zhuo's eyes were like daggers, and he said coldly: "Zhu Cang, is your idea of making money on both sides a little too much?"
Zhu Cang glanced at Qinglong and the others who were not making any movements, and felt relieved. He also admired Murong Xing who was still at his home more and more. He tried his best to put on a smile and said: "Old Chen, don't get me wrong, we are businessmen. Being able to sit here proves that we each have a good vision and know that this is profitable, and our respective families can even take this opportunity to take another step forward."
"But we are all smart people. We can't just focus on what we haven't got on the road ahead and forget about the dangers that may appear on the roadside at any time. Bai Hao made people panic some time ago and only wanted to protect ourselves. We are really timid. A lot."
"You are not cowardly. You just want to make money but don't want to pay. You are a greedy villain." Chen Zhuo hit back unceremoniously.
Zhu Cang smiled shyly, obviously as long as Chen Zhuo didn't draw his sword, he could scold him no matter what he wanted.
Mu Qing wanted to express his attitude immediately, but suddenly thought of Murong Jing who returned to Hidden Valley, and subconsciously looked at Xuanwu.
Xuanwu spoke for the first time after sitting down: "Hidden Valley will fully support Mu Qing. If the worst happens, we will not hinder you in the slightest."
Zhu Cang smiled and said nothing. The so-called not being dragged down was just an excuse to protect themselves after the mess.
The atmosphere gradually calmed down, and Mu Qingcheng said: "I will try my best to block those masters. As long as you don't cause trouble, I can give you some freedom."
Zhu Cang narrowed his eyes and took a serious look at Mu Qing for the first time. He felt that Mu Qing was either testing, or that he was still young and made everything seem too simple.
"Master Mu Qing means what he says? Do you know what kind of freedom we want?"
Mu Qing glanced at Zhu Cang lightly and replied: "After I leave, I will be the lord of Suzaku City, and I believe what I said is clear enough."
What Mu Qing needs most now is a stable rear. As long as this group of people don't cause trouble and hold things back before everything is settled, then he can temporarily turn a blind eye to Zhu Cang's situation of contacting both sides.
Mu Qing said lightly: "I saw the grass moving with the wind before, and I understood the principle of going with the trend and going against the trend."
"You can go with the flow, but at least for now, we are still the most powerful, so I can make it clearer, whether you are in contact with the Banshan Gang or Murong Xing, any information you betray will harm me. The people around me may be worse than Bai Hao."
Zhu Cang's face was stiff and he asked: "Master Mu Qing is threatening me now. What kind of freedom does this count?"
Mu Qing calmly replied: "This is just your own opinion. You can completely use yourself and the family power behind you as a bargaining chip in negotiations. This is the freedom I can give you, but if you take other things that do not belong to If you treat your things as your own and turn your current allies into lambs at another negotiation table, then you should also have the consciousness to be the lambs in other people's mouths."
Zhu Cang stood up abruptly and stared at Mu Qing with a pale face. At the same time, several cold eyes swept towards him in the room.
Zhu Cang was in a trance, with no time to tell whose gaze was more filled with murderous intent. He felt a biting autumn wind in the windless hall. He woke up instantly, sat back on the chair with cold sweat on his back, and stopped saying a word. .
Chen Zhuo glanced at Zhu Cang with disdain, but was too lazy to scold this person anymore. He took the initiative to change the topic for Mu Qing and said, "Mu Qing's meaning is already very clear. You are just wallflowers. If you want to fall with the wind, you won't do it." It’s your fault, you have been given such freedom, what worries do you have now?”
Xie Ming, probably inspired by Chen Zhuo's eyes, asked as if he was walking on thin ice: "The quality of the economy is actually related to the lives of the people. If, I mean if, Suzaku City becomes an isolated city in the future, then from Tiannan Where can the collected medicinal materials be sold? This is a major lifeblood of our Suzaku City."
