Xing Fei was not surprised that Mu Qing asked Wang Yeqing to take charge of the City Lord's Golden Seal. He hesitated and said honestly: "I have no objection. In fact, in the past few days, Mrs. Wang's ability has impressed me deeply. Without her, the City Lord It’s impossible for the government to start doing things so quickly.”
Mu Qing smiled at Xing Fei and said: "Brother Xing, you can be more open-minded. In my heart, Mrs. Wang is the best candidate for the position of city lord. From now on, brother, just treat Mrs. Wang as the city lord. "
After Mu Qing wrote his name on the piece of silk that restored the identities of Quechun and the others, he wrote his name on the blank silk that Xing Fei brought later. With his pen, he signed a dozen blank sheets in the blink of an eye. of silk.
Wang Yeqing said speechlessly: "Do you know what you are doing? Your current identity is the city lord of Suzaku City. If you take out something like this and add content to it, it will be recognized by the city lord's palace."
Mu Qing heard Wang Yeqing's dissatisfaction and said flatteringly: "Except for the gold seal that restores my sister-in-law's identity, the others will not be sealed for the time being. When Mrs. Wang wants to use it, you can add the content as you like. Just stamp it with a gold seal."
Wang Yeqing rolled his eyes and said, "You came prepared today, right?"
Mu Qing smiled apologetically: "I also know that these things can't help you much, but I can't let you pay so much and still have others gossip about you."
Wang Yeqing's face softened slightly. There had indeed been some discussions about her relationship with Mu Qing in the past two days, including a lot of unpleasant rumors. "You are interested, but since I have chosen to help you, I don't care about these, and until now No one dares to gossip in front of me."
Mu Qing picked up the City Lord's golden seal and gently placed a vermilion gilt mark on the first piece of silk. Looking at the words "Suzaku Order" in the mark, he sighed softly: "The combination of these things does mean a lot. Great power, but with great power comes great responsibility. I know what a big mess I have made, and the only things I can think of now that might help are these."
Mu Qing held the City Lord's golden seal in both hands and handed it to Wang Yeqing.
Wang Yeqing narrowed his eyes slightly, moved his eyes away from the golden seal, fell on Mu Qing's face, and said solemnly: "This thing is helpful to me, especially after you left, but it does not allow some of my ideas to be implemented smoothly. Expand, do you know what help is?”
Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, vaguely understanding the meaning of Wang Yeqing's words.
Wang Yeqing casually picked up a piece of silk with Mu Qing's name but no content, and sighed: "Whether it's your signature or the city lord's golden seal, it actually tells those outside that you are still there. You have been officially canonized. , the city lord recognized by all forces, your existence is the most helpful thing to me."
Seeing that Mu Qing was hesitant to speak, Wang Yeqing shook his head and said, "I'm not saying you have to stay in Suzaku City forever."
Mu Qing was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Mrs. Wang, please rest assured that I will not do anything that I am not sure about again."
Wang Yeqing's frowning eyebrows finally relaxed a little, and he said with a faint smile: "As long as you understand, these things can be taken care of for a while, but they cannot be taken care of for the rest of your life. Likewise, even if I agree to help you, you can't Just keep letting me help you.”
"Some words are actually for your aunt to say, but since I have said this, I hope you can always remember that no matter how far you go in the future, you must always remember that your home is in Suzaku City, and this is where you stand. the foundation.”
Mu Qing nodded solemnly, "I remember."
Wang Yeqing then took the golden seal and said, "This thing can be left with me temporarily, but you have to give me a time limit for coming and going, otherwise I might give this thing to someone else when I feel tired."
Mu Qing wanted to say that he would have no objection to the person Wang Yeqing selected, but when he saw Wang Yeqing's serious eyes, he finally smiled bitterly and said: "Then just one year. If I haven't come to take this thing away after one year, you It’s up to you whoever you want to give it to.”
Wang Yeqing pursed his lips and smiled, "Then it's a deal."
Mu Qing looked at Wang Yeqing's free and easy smile, knowing that this first year would be the most tiring time, but Wang Yeqing readily agreed. Just as he was about to speak, Wang Yeqing seemed to have expected that he was going to What to say, he shook his head and said: "You don't need to thank me. Although I am not a businessman like President Huang, I actually have my own plans. When Suzaku City really gets on track, I will probably go to the Black Sea to have a look. There are probably That will be my opportunity.”
Mu Qing's eyes brightened, and Wang Yeqing smiled when he looked at him: "Actually, even if you don't do anything and just leave Suzaku City, I won't blame you. Although Miss Ye and I have known each other for a short time, we can still be regarded as sharing the same fate. Relationship.."
There was also Cao Jin standing in the room who had always remained silent, so some of Wang Yeqing's words were not said too directly. It can be said that if it were not for that encounter with Tantai Jing and Ye Yun, Wang Yeqing's cultivation career would not have been the same. Such a big change can break the bottleneck of her cultivation that has restricted her for more than ten years.
Mu Qing thought about the three fairy islands that were floating in the endless black sea. While a curiosity arose in his heart, a sense of urgency also arose spontaneously. He had not forgotten his business.
Mu Qing glanced at Cao Jin and said to Wang Yeqing: "Maybe in the past few days, if there is anything that requires my intervention, just inform me directly."
Wang Yeqing probably guessed that Mu Qing wanted to chat with Cao Jin alone, and said, "Xing Fei and I also want to talk about some specific aspects of recruiting people. Does City Lord Cao have any other ideas?"
Cao Jin shook his head and said: "Suzaku City's external communication channels have not been fully restored. Since President Huang and others have already set off, I have to go to the branch to meet some people in advance."
Seeing that Cao Jin really wanted to do something for Suzaku City, Wang Yeqing's attitude became much calmer: "Then I'll trouble City Lord Cao."
Cao Jin laughed and said: "It's no trouble, it's just a matter of duty."
After giving up the room that should have belonged to the city lord to Wang Yeqing, Mu Qing left Jiuyou Tower and walked on the white marble bridge. He replied: "You have been frowning just now. Do you have objections to my arrangement?"
"After looking through the entire Suzaku City, I can't find anyone more suitable than Mrs. Wang." Cao Jin replied calmly, "I'm not surprised that you would delegate power to her."
Mu Qing noticed Cao Jin's comment and repeated: "When you say it's suitable, do you mean it's suitable for Suzaku City or for me?"
Cao Jin replied: "I can see that she has no ambition for this kind of power. She is very suitable for you and Suzaku City after you leave."
Mu Qing actually didn't think so much, but when Cao Jin said this, Mu Qing became more worried: "Will Baidi City take action against Mrs. Wang?"
The two of them had already walked across the White Jade Bridge. Mu Qing's pace gradually slowed down, and Cao Jin followed him. Cao Jin no longer looked down on Mu Qing, and regarded Mu Qing's words as a test. He frowned and thought for a long time. He didn't answer until he was halfway through the square: "Everyone from the Gu family has failed and returned. Baidi City will never take action again in a short time."
Mu Qing turned around and asked, "Then what do you think Bai Emperor will do?"
Cao Jin's gray eyebrows moved slightly and said: "The Emperor Bai must want to know the true relationship between you and the Lin family now. Even if he wants to take action in the future, he will not take action against Mrs. Wang."
Mu Qing understood the meaning of Cao Jin's words and smiled: "He wants to get rid of me once and for all?"
Cao Jin said in a deep voice: "This is an obvious thing."
Mu Qing asked curiously: "How did you introduce my relationship with the Lin family in the letter you gave him?"
Cao Jin looked at Mu Qing and said word by word: "I didn't introduce him because even I am not sure."
Cao Jin said he was not sure, but it was not a lie.
Although he was now sure of the close relationship between Mu Qing and Liu Weirui, he still didn't know whether Mu Qing had Lin Langtian's approval.
Seeing Mu Qing take the initiative to bring up this topic, he took the opportunity to ask: "How is your relationship with the Lin family?"
Mu Qing thought seriously for a moment and replied, "I don't know."
"Not sure?" Cao Jin raised his eyebrows. After a moment, his face became more solemn, and he hesitated: "If this is the case, it will be very dangerous for you to leave Suzaku City during this period."
Mu Qing probably knew what Cao Jin was referring to in his words, and said calmly: "I have met people from both the Gu family and the Lin family, and they are not elders with three heads and six arms."
Cao Jin sighed softly: "When the emperor planned to get rid of Hidden Valley, the tallest person in Hidden Valley was Murong Jing. She had just been promoted to the early stage of transcendence, but what is the state of those people in the ancient saying? Things in the world of cultivation are actually It is far less convoluted than the struggle for interests in the secular world, and is more straightforward and cruel."
"They are about to attack you, and they will definitely collect as much information as possible. Even if those people in Gu Yan will not reveal your true strength out of face, Bai Di does not have such a burden. When you are really in danger, you will encounter The enemy we arrived will definitely be no weaker than Gu Yan."
Mu Qing nodded from time to time, and when Cao Jin finished speaking and looked at him, he smiled and said, "You are right, but you are very different when I am outside than in Suzaku City."
Cao Jin raised his eyebrows, thoughtfully.
Mu Qing looked towards the direction of the inner city and said, "Suzaku City is safe, that's enough for me, but how many places outside of Suzaku City can trap me?"
The corner of Cao Jin's mouth moved, feeling a little emotional in his heart. After Mu Qing said this, some scenes not long ago also flashed through his mind. Without the people who need protection in Suzaku City, would Mu Qing still be controlled by others?
It seems that Mu Qing has never displayed his strength unscrupulously.
With this thought in his mind, Cao Jin felt a confidence in Mu Qing that even surprised him, and said in a solemn voice: "The reason why I was silent just now is because I don't agree with you leaving Suzaku City. Since you have already done something, Prepare, then I’ll worry too much.”
Mu Qing's attitude softened a lot and he said: "You were also present when Mrs. Wang reminded me just now. It is impossible for me to joke with my own life. If you are really worried that some things will become uncontrollable after I leave, you can try your best to help. Mrs. Wang and the others are busy."
Mu Qing said as he took out a jade slip and handed it to Cao Jin.
Cao Jin's heart moved and he quickly took it. His consciousness swept away and he said in disbelief: "It turns out to be a complete thunder method."
This thunder technique was originally passed on to Qinglong by Meng Zhang from Mu Qing. Although it is not as good as Mu Qing's "Thunder Shout", it is already extremely rare.
Mu Qing said calmly: "You have a special physique, but you have wasted years of practice. Using thunder method to temper your physique is indeed the right path. This thunder method is different from the secret thunder method I use now. But it will also be difficult for you to get started.”
Cao Jin said gratefully: "Thunder method is enough. I don't know what you want to do for you? If it is to test the emperor's intention, I am afraid that some things will be exposed in advance."
Mu Qing shook his head and said: "You just need to do things that match your current status. If you can refine this thunder method, I can also pass it on to you the secret technique of thunder method that I have cultivated. It just depends on your performance."
Cao Jin nodded solemnly. The reason why he was persuaded by Murong Yun to agree to be the deputy city lord with no real power was because Mu Qing had the cultivation resources he had been striving for.
And Mu Qing was not a stingy person, just like a treasure mountain peeking out from the clouds, this corner was enough to attract Cao Jin to settle down both physically and mentally in Suzaku City.
"I understand. Please rest assured that I will try my best to protect some people while you are away." Cao Jin promised.
Seeing that he was so polite, Mu Qing said, "Protection matters are probably not your turn yet, but there is something I need your opinion on now."
Cao Jin subconsciously asked: "What's the matter?"
Mu Qing stretched out his palm and spread his fingers. A golden flame suddenly gathered above the empty palm with a bang.
"Now, it's time to refine the power of luck."
