"I hate Sister He."
Mu Qing faced the expectant eyes of these family heads and shouted to the side.
Xie Henhe, wearing light armor, walked to Mu Qing and said solemnly: "City Lord. Firestone City, Youyun City and Qinglin City have all declared their allegiance to Suzaku City."
Xing Fei, who was on the side of the lobby, heard this and added: "Before sunset today, there will be three personal guards of 1,000 people each going to these three cities."
Mu Qing nodded and smiled at the two of them, looked at the surprised family heads, and said, "These three cities are the places I have prepared for you."
"City Lord..."
The family heads did not expect that Mu Qingren was in Suzaku City, but had already reached out to other cities, but most of them were still puzzled.
Someone hesitated and said honestly: "Flint City is just north of Suzaku City. If we take it down, it can be used as a line of defense. But Youyun City and Qinglin City are to the west of Suzaku City and the other to the east. They are far apart. Suzaku City There is so much waste waiting to be done now, why don’t we concentrate our manpower instead of wasting our manpower on controlling these two remote towns?”
Mu Qing shook his head: "You can think about it carefully."
"this……"
The heads of the family looked at each other. In fact, they had vaguely guessed a possibility in their minds, but they did not mention it first because of some concerns.
Mu Qing was not in a hurry, he could probably guess the mentality of these family heads. After all, these traditional forces still judge their status based on blood ties. Although active contact with practice will bring many benefits, there will also be more uncontrollable things.
To put it bluntly, they can already feel that if they support Mu Qing's idea, their status may be threatened.
There was silence in the lobby for a moment, and finally someone stood up. Xie Ming felt the meaningful gazes of other family heads, and with a hard heart, he said to Mu Qing: "City Lord, are the areas near the three cities you mentioned also suitable for cultivation?" ?」
Mu Qing nodded lightly: "Of course, as I said, it is not only the fire veins under Suzaku City that have changed. There are nine fire veins in Youyan State, four of which are under the city. Except for Suzaku City, the rest These three cities are the opportunities I leave to you. If you don’t believe it, you can send your family guards to these places to feel it. The aura of heaven and earth sometimes becomes richer."
All the family heads shook their heads. Xie Ming started, and two more family heads stood up and wanted to express their support. However, Mu Qing changed the subject and said, "Seeing is believing. It's normal for you to have concerns. City Lord The energy of the government is also limited, so we will first guide the Xie family on the right track."
Xie Ming looked excited: "Don't worry, City Lord, the Xie family will fully cooperate with the City Lord's Mansion."
Mu Qing said: "Don't agree in a hurry. I can let the Xie family go to Firestone City, but the condition is that you must fully support the city lord's palace and establish three sects in the inner city first."
As soon as Mu Qing said this, the family heads who had previously felt regretful about missing out on the opportunity suddenly secretly rejoiced. To establish three sects in the inner city, even the cost of building materials would cost the Xie family a lot of money. Jing, the City Lord's Mansion is obviously looking for someone to take advantage of.
Xie Ming was startled when he heard this, but thinking that the current head of the family was supported by the City Lord's Mansion, although his heart was bleeding, he nodded and said: "I am the head of the family, I can decide this matter, and the elders of the Xie family will also accept this. condition."
Mu Qinggao glanced at Xie Ming. Whether it was a long-term vision or helplessness, the Xie family now is much more assertive than before, and they are no longer the so-called "Xie on the wall".
Mu Qing smiled and said: "You don't have to look so ugly. I can grant you a privilege now. Every time the three sects accept disciples from now on, the Xie family will have a formal disciple. And as long as the city lord's palace does not fall, all of you Xie family will Will be protected by the three sects."
After Mu Qing said this, he looked specifically at Murong Jing and the other two people.
The three of them all nodded in agreement, and Zhong Ling'er, who found this moment interesting, waved a small hand and threw a dark token to Xie Ming: "This is the body tempering token of the Great Sun Sect. You can temper it at any time with you." It’s okay to train your body and use it as a defensive magic weapon to block a few attacks in the early stage of transformation.”
Xie Ming still remembered Zhong Ling'er's wealthy scene just now. He was delighted to see Zhong Ling'er having a magic weapon at his fingertips.
Feeling overwhelmed, he quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Master Ling'er."
Zhong Ling'er raised her pale eyebrows and waved her hand nonchalantly: "It's just a low-level magic weapon. This thing is the identity token of the disciples of the Great Sun Sect. Its most important function is to screen the body. After you go back, let your family Those who activate this card, and the one with the brightest image on the card can join the Great Sun Sect."
Xie Ming nodded repeatedly and remembered Zhong Ling'er's instructions firmly.
After such an episode, the atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became different.
In the past, they had heard about magic weapons, but they had never seen them with their own eyes like today, and they were given away as ordinary things.
It was only at this time that some family heads began to think about what kind of changes the emergence of the sect would bring to Suzaku City, and how much impact it would have on them.
Mu Qing glanced at these people, stood up and said, "You must still have many doubts in your hearts, but if you want to solve these doubts, just a few words are not enough. You can feel it in the next period of time."
"Feelings?" Everyone responded numbly.
"right."
Mu Qing could clearly feel the strong emotions of some of them who were unwilling to change the status quo. After thinking about it, he said solemnly: "No one can stop the establishment of a sect in the inner city. This is for the future stability of Suzaku City. "
"And I can tell you clearly now that from today on, Suzaku City is a cultivation force, not the territory of the Hibiscus Dynasty."
"!!!"
What Mu Qing revealed at the end was undoubtedly like a thunder that completely pierced the thin layer of window paper for these people.
Someone said anxiously: "City Lord, no, even if we can control the entire Youyan State, if the dynasty completely blocks us, we will only die."
Mu Qing waited patiently for these people to finish what they were thinking, and then said, "The emperor wants to do this, but he definitely doesn't dare to do it now."
"Huh?" Everyone looked blank, as if they thought there was something wrong with their ears.
Cao Jin stood in the corner and couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene. He coughed lightly and said solemnly: "White Emperor City was involved in what happened last night. In addition, our Suzaku City can change the throne at any time. Please don’t question your strength.”
"Cao Jin..."
The heads of the family were still thinking about who dared to be so arrogant. In a blink of an eye, they saw that it was Eunuch Cao. They thought it was absurd and at the same time subconsciously kept silent.
Mu Qing said: "It is said that one is born in trouble and dies in happiness. If you really want to make long-term plans, then I can make two suggestions."
"First, leave Suzaku City, or even Youyan Prefecture, and settle down in other parts of the dynasty. The City Lord's Mansion will not stop you, and Bai Emperor will also welcome you."
"Two, the enemy of Suzaku City is not Baidi City, but the ancient family of Beihuang, those immortal creatures. If you don't have the guts to face this kind of pressure one day in the future, it's best to leave as soon as possible."
After Mu Qing finished speaking, his breathing could be heard in the lobby.
These family heads, who used to be said to be extremely noble in the past, had no power at all in front of Mu Qing, and it was because of Mu Qing's few words that his expressions continued to change.
"Immortal creature..."
"It turns out that practitioners can actually live forever... This kind of existence does not have the power to destroy the world."
Listening to these people's emotions, Huaifenghua was also a little touched, and subconsciously glanced at the little girl next to her.
She is Mu Qing's aunt, and she already knows the details about Zhong Ling'er from Mu Qing's mouth. Compared with the two immortal beings she has met, she is even more curious about Zhong Ling'er, a heavenly treasure, and she is no longer interested in it. Sigh at the wonder of creation.
Huaifenghua's thoughts were racing in her heart, and her eyes subconsciously fell on Mu Qing in front of the crowd.
I don’t know when Mu Qing started to truly have the ability to protect everyone.
Everyone in the lobby had different thoughts. Seeing that the house owners were still in a dazed state, Mu Qing shook his head and signaled to see the guests off.
After these outsiders left, Mu Qing made friends with Cao Jin and Xing Fei respectively.
After waiting for some things, I finally had a chance to breathe.
But some people were very dissatisfied. Wang Yeqing walked up to Mu Qing, who was slumped in his seat, and frowned: "Lord City Lord, you don't always want me to handle matters in the inner city alone."
When Mu Qing faced Wang Yeqing, he showed a lot of respect. He quickly stood up, sat down on Wang Yeqing's shoulders, and said with a smile: "How could it be? I have long known what I am capable of. Apart from making excuses, I can really make arrangements." My subordinates have to rely on Mrs. Wang to handle their affairs."
Wang Yeqing raised his eyebrows, rubbed the center of his eyebrows, and said seriously: "You can just say something, setting up a stall is a matter of countless big and small things. I have limited energy, so I want you to confirm some things while everyone is here. "
Seeing the serious look on Wang Yeqing's face, Mu Qing also suppressed his smile and said, "Mrs. Wang, please speak."
Wang Yeqing nodded and said slowly: "The first thing is the relationship between the City Lord's Mansion and the three sects. There was a problem with Zhang Shanshan's arrangements before, and the Mountain Moving Gang came to visit. You also saw it secretly. Although this is a small matter, But some problems have been exposed.”
"Among the three sects, especially the Vermillion Bird Sect and the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, the upper echelons have a close relationship, and the disciples below are familiar with each other. It is easy for outsiders to find opportunities to take advantage of them."
"Take the matter of Zhang Shanshan as an example. Perhaps even the disciples of the Suzaku Sect themselves did not understand that they were already members of the Suzaku Sect and did not need to listen to Zhang Shanshan's arrangements. And when conflicts arose, everyone ran to the City Lord's Mansion. Come on, if you can avoid this kind of messy thing in the future, try to avoid it."
Mu Qing frowned and pondered for a moment, then said: "There are indeed some problems with the previous arrangements. From now on, Wanhua Valley will focus on refining alchemy, and the matter of cultivating medicinal fields and planting elixirs will be left to the City Lord's Mansion and the Vermillion Bird Sect. "
For Huaifenghua, it would not be a big problem for Wanhua Valley to be merged into the city lord's palace now, so she naturally agreed, but then she remembered another thing and frowned: "After Murong Xiuming's body was brought back by Hen He, Zhang Shanshan came to me and confessed what happened before. The reason why she made such an arrangement was because Murong Xiu Ming asked for help. However, Zhang Shanshan said that she did not know about Murong Xiu Ming's plan and was deceived by Murong Xiu Ming, thinking that Murong Xiu Ming wanted to gain some limelight in the Suzaku Sect. .”
Huaifenghua looked at Mu Qing, "Zhang Shanshan has been detained by me now, what do you want to do with her?"
Mu Qing frowned slightly and was about to speak, but Murong Jing on the side also said something, "Last night I just abolished the cultivation of Murong Yin and Jiang Xingyuan, and now I am asking Murong Yun and Jiang Shangxiu to look at them, and I also want to ask you How to deal with it."
"Um?"
Mu Qing raised his eyebrows and looked at Murong Jing with a half-smile. Murong Jing subconsciously looked away, not daring to look at Mu Qing.
Mu Qing sighed softly and was silent for a long time before saying: "Internal betrayal is always traumatizing, and killing them will make other people suffer for a long time. Murong Yun came to see me that night. Since he kept his promise and did not remind Murong Yin, Then let these two people go and let Murong Yun and Jiang Shangxiu take them back. If anything happens again in the future, I will go find them personally."
Murong Jing raised her brows, looked at Mu Qing with a pair of beautiful eyes, and hummed softly.
"As for Zhang Shanshan..." Mu Qingli looked behind Huaifenghua, his eyes paused on the melancholy Huaicao Shi, then fell on the pale Bai Jiahe, and said with a smile: "Junior sister Bai, Zhang Shanshan is yours Sister-in-law, what are your plans?"
Bai Jiahe looked at Mu Qing's smile, lowered his gaze in regret, and said, "If you can, let me look at Zhang Shanshan. If Zhang Shanshan does anything again in the future, I will kill her with my own hands."
"No problem, this matter is settled." Mu Qing agreed simply and said, "But it is necessary to be on guard against others. Junior sister should be more careful."
After talking about these two small things, Mu Qing turned his attention to Wang Yeqing again and said, "Mrs. Wang, what is the second thing?"
Wang Yeqing said: "Having talked about the relationship between the three sects, it is natural to talk about the relationship between the City Lord's Mansion and the three sects."
Wang Yeqing smiled and said: "You and Murong Jing are Taoist couples, you and Huai Fenghua are relatives, and you and the little girl Ling'er..."
Wang Yeqing paused, and Zhong Ling'er quickly added: "Friends who share weal and woe.
friend. "
Wang Yeqing curled up his lips and nodded: "We are friends who share the same joys and sorrows with Ling'er Sect Master, so the relationship between the City Lord's Mansion and the three sects is also very good, but this is abnormal, you must consider it, but when you are not in Suzaku City , is there a standard that all four parties agree on to solve the problem? And this standard is the cornerstone for our long-term stability in the future."
Wang Yeqing's words slowly spread in the lobby, and everyone including Mu Qing was touched and began to think deeply.
Mu Qing also agreed: "Maybe it wasn't necessary before, but now we really need something clearer to maintain our previous relationship."
