Mo Dongsheng was speechless for a moment, and he no longer asked Xu Que what path he wanted to choose. It was in vain to ask anyway.
"Okay, let's think about how to solve the current problem. If Sha Jingtong comes to Zheyang County, everything will be in vain." Xu Maocai brought the topic back.
"Yes, if he cooperates with Beimang Liyingwai, then our Zheyang County will be in danger." Xu Fan agreed.
Mo Dongsheng nodded slightly and agreed. After all, when the time comes, he, the county guard, will have to listen to the other party's orders.
"Uncle Mo, if we don't open the city gate, do you think Sha Jingtong will use the general seal?" Xu Que asked curiously.
Mo Dongsheng said directly: "Logically speaking, no, unless he wants to send troops to fight Beimang."
"Then I don't understand. If he wants to open the city gate, what should he rely on?"
Xu Que's question was so targeted that both Mo Dongsheng and Xu Maocai were startled.
Xu Fan said calmly: "Imperial decree! With that thing, we must act according to the order."
Hearing Xu Fan's words, Mo Dongsheng and Xu Que immediately raised their eyes and looked at Xu Fan. They both thought of a terrible thing at the same time...
Previously, they were worried that the people who took over would send troops to start a war, and then sell the people and soldiers directly to Beimang, which would result in insufficient soldiers to defend the city. But now after analyzing it again, they suddenly understood how terrible the methods of this group of people were!
To put it simply, the first method is to lead soldiers to fight Beimang to the death, making it impossible to defend the city. The second is to fake defeat and allow the Beimang army to rush into Zheyang County. And the third most terrifying thing is that someone will take action against the imperial edict!
"Nephew, do you think Gu Yongnian is highly suspicious now?" Mo Dongsheng asked Xu Que.
Xu Que didn't say anything, but took something out of his arms and slapped it on the table.
When Xu Maocai saw the two kinds of paper, he picked up the upper one decisively and curiously, opened it and took a look. He was instantly confused...
Mo Dongsheng picked up the following one: "Land deed? The land deed of the Four Seasons Villa in the capital city!"
"Brother, where did you get this?" Xu Fan asked in shock.
Before Xu Que could answer, Xu Maocai handed the letter to Xu Fan and said, "Gu Yongnian gave it to our Xu family!"
Hearing Xu Maocai's words, Mo Dongsheng was a little shocked, but he still looked at Xu Que.
"Why do you have this thing in your hand?" Xu Maocai asked in confusion.
"You weren't at home that day. Zuo Yingsi sent someone to deliver it. In fact, there was a letter written by Ma Ning and Shan Qi, but I didn't bring it with me. It means they were all wrong and mistakenly read Gu Yongnian. Cheng Qu is a loyal person. I didn’t doubt that Gu Yongnian was involved in this before, or that I was misled by his behavior, but now I see that it is probably him!"
Hearing Xu Que's words, Mo Dongsheng clenched his fists. He really wanted to sing a song at this moment, because he had always believed that Gu Yongnian was not a good person. Unexpectedly, he guessed it right!
"What should we do now?" Xu Fan asked.
"We have no evidence of guilt, and no one will believe our empty words. What we have to do now is how to prevent the imperial edict from appearing!"
"How to defend, we can't get to the capital!" Mo Dongsheng showed a helpless expression: "Even if we defend, we can still lead the Beimang army into the city, or directly let the Zheyang County soldiers die."
Just when everyone was helplessly thinking of a solution, a servant ran in: "Master Qi, there is a girl named Cao outside who is looking for the young master."
"You're looking for me? Your last name is Cao?"
Xu Que muttered doubtfully, and suddenly remembered the name Cao Mutong!
"Dad, think first, maybe we have reinforcements!" Xu Que said and ran out of the main hall quickly.
Xu Maocai and the other two looked at each other in confusion. Suddenly, Xu Fan also reacted: "It's Cao Mutong, the granddaughter of senior Cao Qing!"
"That girl who practices in Qiushui Dao Sect?" Xu Maocai looked at Xu Fan in confusion.
"Yes." Xu Fan nodded: "Maybe I want to ask Daozong for help."
Mo Dongsheng said at this time: "How can Daozong help? They are otherworldly and won't care about these things."
In fact, the laws of the dynasty are clearly stated. The Taoist sect must not participate in the imperial laws and regulations. If it is confirmed, the sect will be exterminated. In serious cases, the Taoist sect may disappear...
Xu Fan and Xu Maocai sat down with their heads lowered. Only then did they realize that yes, a Taoist sect who was detached from the secular world was not allowed to interfere with matters of imperial power.
Outside the Xu Mansion, as soon as Xu Que ran out, he saw a cute little loli.
"Are you Xu Que?" Cao Mutong looked at Xu Que and asked.
"Are you Cao Mutong?"
Xu Que was very shocked. This little girl is so cute and has a very pretty figure, but I don't know if she can cultivate it...
Cao Mutong nodded: "Yes, I came here on the order of the sect, and I happened to come over to have a look. Grandpa will find me a secular husband."
"A secular husband?" Xu Que didn't quite understand and looked at Cao Mutong doubtfully.
"Yes, I am a secular husband." Cao Mutong said nonchalantly: "When you enter the literary realm, your lifespan can be up to one hundred and twenty years. I am an immortal, and now I am in the Nascent Soul realm. My lifespan starts at six hundred years, waiting for you. If I die, I can cut off my mortal affairs and return to the path of immortality."
Xu Que's mood flew by like crazy. Did he just open it up like this? Has this girl thought about her own thoughts?
Xu Que could now dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes. Isn't this too embarrassing and shocking?
"What if we have a child?" Xu Que suddenly asked an extremely confusing question.
Cao Mutong acted as if it didn't matter, and did not avoid Xu Que's question at all. He said bluntly: "Don't worry, it won't happen unless you can make me truly fall in love with you."
At this moment, Xu Que's expression froze, as if he was petrified in the emoticon...
He thought he was very outspoken, but it turned out that his wife, who had never been married, was not only outspoken, but even more arrogant than him...
"Okay, let's discuss this later." Cao Mutong waved his hand nonchalantly: "Now I just want to ask you if you are willing to give the formula of Yellow River Drunk to our Qiushui Dao Sect."
"Give it to your Dao Sect?" Xu Que's expression changed instantly: "Did your sect master ask you to come here and ask for it?"
"yes."
Cao Mutong didn't hide anything and nodded directly to admit it.
Xu Que was not surprised, because many people were staring at this thing, but he did not expect that Qiushui Dao Sect would ask his unmarried daughter-in-law to ask for it, which would be a Taoist thing!
"Then what's in it for me?" Xu Que asked calmly.
"No, the sect master didn't promise you any benefits, or in other words, they wanted to ask you for the formula through me. After all, I was trained by Qiushui Dao Sect."
Hearing Cao Mutong's direct words, Xu Que really didn't want to hit this lovely loli daughter-in-law...
This special Qiu Shui Taoist sect is so cruel, she actually let a little girl who doesn't understand anything come over to beg for something.
"Shall we just stand outside and chat?" Cao Mutong said, "I also want to see the residence of the literary geniuses that grandpa mentioned."
Only then did Xu Que react and quickly called Cao Mutong into the Xu Mansion.
But the moment Cao Mutong stepped into Xu Que's courtyard, his eyes became cold and stern!
"There is evil spirit!"
Canglanglang, the long sword was instantly pulled out by Cao Mutong, and his eyes were instantly locked on Xu Que's room.
At the same time, Hu Ling'er, who felt murderous aura, trembled all over and stood up instantly.
"What's wrong?"
Before Huang Qianying could finish her words, Hu Ling'er's six snow-white tails suddenly grew out.
Xu Que was shocked and quickly hugged Cao Mutong's waist: "That's my wife too, don't do whatever you want!"
"Let me go!" Cao Mutong struggled: "How dare you marry a demon woman? Do you think your life is too long?"
"Like you, I'm not married yet!"
The moment Xu Que finished speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Hu Ling'er's tail flew behind her as she looked straight at Cao Mutong.
"Little man, what are you doing?" Huang Qianying asked as she looked at Xu Que holding a little girl.
At this moment, Xu Que wanted to die. What kind of thing is this? He saved the galaxy in his previous life? Or are you stirring up a hornet's nest?
