Wangxue City is extremely lively today. Before the Gu family's convoy entered the city, people from all sides from Zhuque City, Baidi City and even Wenxian City had been waiting for several days.
As the head of the Gu family, Gu Yingqiu received an extremely warm welcome from these people at the noon banquet.
"The Gu family's entire move to Linghai Prefecture is a major event that affects the entire dynasty. In the past, it would not have been possible to persuade any party in half a month, but now from determining the location to Everyone gathered here to express their welcome, and it didn’t even take ten days." Bai Qingyi stood next to Mu Qing and said with emotion.
Unknowingly, the man beside her already had the ability to change the structure of a dynasty.
Mu Qing didn't pay much attention to this. He glanced at Gu Yingqiu who was surrounded by people and was very busy, and said: "I just made a start and called everyone together. If the Gu family wants to establish itself in Linghai State, there are many things things to do.”
"Whether it is being squeezed out or a conflict occurs, Zhuque City will not get involved too much unless the Gu family is jointly suppressed." Bai Qingyi looked sideways: "Do you think these people dare?" Mu Qing knew that Bai Qingyi meant something, and looked at it He glanced at Gu Yinghe, who was standing next to Gu Yingqiu, and coughed lightly: "The Gu family is the Gu family, and she is her. I can tell the difference clearly." Gu Yinghe had also talked to him about this concern in private. The two of them had already There is a consistent attitude, which is not to give the people of the Gu family a chance to bully others. If someone does commit a crime, the punishment will be increased and doubled to let people know where the red line is.
Such a banquet was full of negotiation from the beginning. After Mu Qing handed the stage to Gu Yingqiu, he went to a quiet courtyard in the back.
Zheyan and Microflora are waiting here.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that such a huge change would happen to the Gu family." Zheyan said bluntly when he saw Mu Qing.
They left the Wuji Sword Sect together with Mu Qing, but they were divided into two groups outside the Spring God Mountain, and they knew some of the inside stories.
Wei Shenghua even joked: "I think it won't take long for the news about Wangxue City to spread. This really confirms the rumors about the Western Mountain Realm." Mu Qing was also helpless about this. He was not sure whether the two of them could come. Wang Xuecheng was grateful and stopped talking nonsense. He said, "It is still uncertain whether Gu Yun has fallen, but Wushan has indeed been destroyed. This is the reason why the Gu family left Fusong Plain." Zheyan and Weishenghua ignored it. With a glance and a slight nod, Zheyan frowned and said, "Two things. The identity clues of that group of people, and whether Gu Tian is dead or alive." Mu Qing took out a few things, including a cold jade bottle filled with blood, and The broken sword and the fragments of the robe said: "What those people left behind at this time."
"The strength of the leader in red robe is probably close to the Great Perfection of the Holy King Realm. If he uses the murderous weapon of the Sky-Swallowing Bowl, he may even have the ability to make up for this gap in a short time. As for the gray robe with the lowest strength, there are also entry-level Saint King Realm level."
"When we arrived, we only had time. Just like Gu Yingqiu, Gu Yun had been suppressed by them. Later, the formation inside Wushan was destroyed, which was also their method." The two of them carefully inspected several things, and their expressions became much more serious.
Before they came to visit Xuecheng, they had never thought that they might have to testify and cover up Mu Qing. Now, although there was no need for this, they still felt a haze in their hearts.
"Cultivation requires the support of resources. A force that can have four powerful Saint King Realms in the world of practice will never hide in the dark. It must have an identity on the bright side."
"Have you been in contact with them? Do you have any specific guesses about their identity and purpose?" Mu Qing was much more cautious about this matter. Even if he was protecting them, he did not want to alert the snake. He shook his head and said: "They did not use any special skills. The only thing that impressed me was what they were wearing.”
"Brother Xichuan has speculated that these people may have some connection with the long-lost Blood God Sect." Zheyan nodded: "I know the Blood God Sect. You said they took away a lot of the blood of the witch clan from the forbidden blood pool. , which is in line with their style." Wei Shenghua asked at this time: "I heard that Yinghe's eldest sister has been rescued by you, why haven't you seen her?"
"Gu Yuan was captured by those people, and they are looking for the whereabouts of that group of people." Zhe Yan nodded, took away a few drops of blood and a fragmented robe, and said, "I will truthfully report the matter to the sect master about the Gu family. "Mu Qing solemnly thanked you.
They had frequent exchanges these days. Almost on the second day after that group of people left the Gu family, there were rumors in the Xishan realm that Mu Qing had destroyed the Gu family. Now the cultivation world actually has a lot of negative views on Suzaku City.
Mu Qing is no longer the person who could care less about anything. Wei Shenghua also selected a few things and put them away, reminding: "People who are willing to believe in you will choose to believe you even if you don't take out these things, and the same is true. You guys should be honest in the next period of time. Let’s practice in Suzaku City.”
"The original words in the Great Elder's letter are that if you have something to do, you can ask him to do it. Don't let Tantai Xuan get involved. She is just as careless as you." Mu Qing quickly squeezed out an awkward expression. Smiling, because Tantai Xuan came right behind Wei Shenghua.
.........In the winter morning, Suzaku City was much warmer than in previous years. After Wang Shuo woke up, he lay on the bed without opening his eyes for a while, and began to think of him.
The "city order" was doing those little things that were repeated almost every day, until he was interrupted by the crying of his nephew and niece next door, and he got up and walked outside the house.
The eldest sister-in-law was the first to get up in the family. When she heard the noise, she stuck her head out of the kitchen door and frowned: "Aren't you going to have breakfast again today?"
"Ah, I have to do errands in the city lord's mansion today. Sister-in-law, you guys eat first." Wang Shuo washed his face with cold water, shook his head and walked towards the courtyard gate.
The woman was helpless. Three little guys poked out from behind her, with tears still hanging on their faces. They shouted crisply: "Uncle, grandma made a bowl of custard this morning. It's delicious!" Wang Shuo stopped in his tracks. , smiled at the three nephews and nieces: "It's delicious, just eat them all for me."
"Yeah!" The child's joyful voice dispelled the last chill from Wang Shuo's body. The woman walked up to Wang Shuo and stuffed him with two eggs.
"Sister-in-law knows that you are now important to the city lord, but no matter how busy you are, you still have to eat, right? I told your elder brother last night when I would find you a wife. Look at your appearance now. People who don't know would think you have got something. Decay." Wang Shuo stared at the two dark circles under his eyes and accepted his sister-in-law's chatter. It wasn't until a head popped out from the door of the hospital to look this way that he coughed lightly and interrupted: "Sister-in-law, it's getting colder and colder soon. , there are still many people living in open spaces outside the south of the city, it won’t be so busy after a while.”
"Okay, then I will find you a wife after a while." The sister-in-law still has not forgotten the most important thing.
Outside the courtyard, a simple carriage drove toward the avenue in the center of the city. The driver was Wang Shuo, Ling Zheng's most capable assistant. The two of them were chatting about their duties along the way. Finally, the assistant smiled and said: "Boss, I think your sister-in-law is right. You should find a sister-in-law to take care of things for you." It’s housework.”
"You don't even know that I am just a deputy commander, but there are people from the Luo family who want to marry the side wife to me. If you want to start a family, you must be the main wife.
"Wang Shuo suddenly opened his eyes and looked at his close subordinates.
"You agreed?" the deputy complained quickly: "It's not like you don't know that Xiaoyun and I were childhood sweethearts, and we just waited until we collected enough money to buy a house to get married." Wang Shuo sighed softly: "I wouldn't do this if it was consensual. , but I have heard of several such marriages recently, so you have to pay attention to it." The deputy sighed: "Who says it's not the case, but this is also the reason why the powerful will always be the powerful, anyway, I am not in the same relationship with them." Wang Shuoyao He shook his head and looked outside the car.
The carriage has arrived at the central Suzaku Avenue. There are many shops on both sides of the street. The small traders coming and going have already occupied their positions, and there are even frequent quarrels.
But before the quarrel turned into a fight, a team of law enforcement patrols appeared. Even ordinary law enforcement team members had the aura of practitioners.
Wang Shuo looked away and sighed softly. A year ago, he relied on his elder brother and sister-in-law to support useless people who were about to starve to death.
Now it is Lingzheng who is in charge of dozens of subordinates. You must know that there are only twelve regents in the entire Suzaku City, and it is these middle-level officials who jointly maintain the normal order of the city.
The change happened half a year ago, when he was selected by the city lord's palace and became the lowest-level member. He always felt that he was extremely lucky to meet the young city lord that day.
Although his promotion along the way relied on his excellent work ability. However, there are not many people in Suzaku City who are better than him who are also members, but there are very few who can be promoted as fast as him.
"Boss?" The carriage stopped and the deputy called Wang Shuo out of his memories. Although Suzaku City is no longer divided into inner and outer cities, and even the walls of the inner city have been demolished, the carriages driving on Suzaku Avenue all stopped at this dividing line.
It's not a mandatory rule, but if someone sits in a carriage and goes forward, they have to be under intensive surveillance at all times. The secret guards behind those sights are extraordinary. It is not easy to be watched by such people all the way.
Wang Shuo got off the carriage and stood on Zhuque Avenue, imagining the secret guards who looked away, laughed at himself, turned to his deputy and said: "Next time if there is someone like the Luo family who wants to marry their daughter to you, you can just marry her to you. Drive them out." The deputy nodded matter-of-factly: "I know, we can't make Xiaoyun angry." Wang Shuo shook his head, turned around and walked towards the city lord's palace, and said seriously: "We must know how to be grateful for such an opportunity, you know Who are we loyal to?" The deputy then realized the meaning of Wang Shuo's words and said with a smile: "Boss, don't worry, our city lord is young." Wang Shuo was stunned and walked forward with raised eyebrows.
The City Lord's Mansion occupies a large area. When Wang Shuo arrived, none of the other city magistrates arrived, but there were others who arrived earlier than him.
"Food can last until next summer, but there are still hundreds of thousands of people without fixed homes, and these people must be resettled as soon as possible."
"There are already nine cities outside the south of the city that can be lived in, and the other three cities should be completed next month." The two women gathered at the table and exchanged words, discussing what he was responsible for.
Wang Shuo stepped forward quickly,
"City Lord Liu, Xie Chengzheng." Liu Yueshan has accepted the deputy city lord for some time, and now he has already been recognized by everyone. Standing next to Liu Yueshan is Xie Ling, a very beautiful woman who is about the same age as Wang Shuo, but He is already one of the four city chiefs, and happens to be Wang Shuo, Ling Zheng's immediate boss.
Seeing Wang Shuo's arrival, Xie Ling's eyebrows slightly widened and she said with a smile: "Wang Lingzheng, although I usually use you a bit harshly, you don't have to wear such a haggard face, right? Let Sister Yueshan see it. You thought I had a problem with you." Wang Shuo forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and thought to himself that this is not true, but when Liu Yueshan asked him about the business, he quickly recovered and pushed many things forward. I remember every step clearly.
After saying goodbye to Liu Yueshan, the two left together. Wang Shuo frowned and remained silent. Xie Ling took the initiative and said, "Don't you want to know why you are not allowed to take charge of those three cities?" Wang Shuo looked at her in surprise,
"Is it because of you?"
"Yes." Xie Ling said, "The rest can be done by your subordinates. I took the initiative to mention it to Sister Yueshan and asked you to follow me to do another thing." Wang Shuo waited patiently. With.
Xie Ling suddenly frowned: "Don't continue asking." Wang Shuo was a little embarrassed and looked away. Even if he is angry, his boss is beautiful.
And he had already known the identity of the other party. She was the biological sister of the head of the Xie family, Xie Ming. The Xie family was now trusted by the city lord's palace.
But despite this, Wang Shuo also adhered to his duty. Xie Ling suddenly changed the topic,
"The information you asked me to inquire about before has some clues."
"The Phantom Spirit Sect has the lowest threshold for accepting disciples. I've met your three nieces and nephews, but I'm afraid none of them meet the requirements." Wang Shuo sighed slightly in his heart and smiled with relief: "I still have to thank you." Xie Ling snorted coldly: "Not sincere."
"However, the Xie family has a quota every year to enter the Phantom Spirit Sect and become a formal disciple. However, they are obsessed with only wanting to go to the Suzaku Sect and Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, so this quota will most likely be vacant." Wang Shuo took a deep look at Xie Ling and said, Oh.
Xie Ling was really angry this time. She stared at him and said, "You should know that a disciple of the Phantom Sect will still have a very good status in Suzaku City in the future." Wang Shuo said, "I know. But I don't know yet. Take this favor."
"Do I want you to return this favor?" Xie Ling took out a bottle of elixir from her arms and stuffed it into Wang Shuo's hand.
"This is a bottle of dust-cleansing pill. It can change your physique a little bit, and maybe it will allow your three nieces and nephews to practice cultivation."
"...This is too much."
"It's indeed too much. The three children can only eat half a pill at a time. I prepared more for you." Wang Shuo froze in place.
Xie Ling said: "I practiced cultivation earlier than you. Now I am at the fourth level of spiritual life. I don't know where I will be in the future, but if you are determined to be with me, then progress with me."
