Those guests finally left. Although he had known that this would be the case, Qinghai was still a little disappointed when he saw everyone around him leaving.
After all, these guest guests have been in his Qing family for many years, but he didn't expect that when the real danger came, none of them would be retained.
However, what surprised him was that Cheng Yu, who had spent the shortest time with him, had not left yet and had been standing quietly beside him.
"Mr. Hu, why don't you leave?" Qinghai looked at Cheng Yu hopefully.
It's just that he felt that Cheng Yu might have something else to say to him. After all, even the people who had been with him for so long were gone, and Cheng Yu had only been in the Qing family for a few months, so it was natural for Cheng Yu to leave.
"Who will protect you if I leave?" Cheng Yu said with a faint smile.
"You're not leaving?" This moment really shocked Qinghai.
Looking at Cheng Yu's relaxed and casual look, it seemed that there was no tension in his eyes, let alone worry. He really didn't seem to be leaving.
"Is this fake?" Cheng Yu said with a smile.
Seeing Cheng Yu's smiling face and the sincerity in his eyes, Qinghai was deeply moved at this moment. The disappointment of those people leaving just now disappeared at this moment.
He knew very well that those people were a group of people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and it was natural for them to leave, so he had always valued Cheng Yu very much during this period.
Now it seems that his idea is indeed correct. Someone who can accompany you through thick and thin when your life is at stake is a truly trustworthy person.
"Mr. Hu, I am really touched that you can stay. Among so many guests, you have been with me for the shortest time, but I did not expect that it was you who was willing to stay with me in the end.
However, what those people said is not completely unreasonable. Now in the entire Aoki City, my situation is the most dangerous. Therefore, my life must be handed over here.
What's more, my Qing family has been operating in Aoki City for generations. Whether as the city lord of Aoki City or the head of the Qing family, I cannot leave Aoki City.
But I have another unkind request. I hope Mr. Hu can escort my wife and children out of Qingmu City. As long as Mr. Hu can promise me, I am willing to give all the resources of the City Lord's Mansion to him. Qinghai looked at Cheng Yu and said very seriously.
"City Lord, don't be so anxious yet. Things are not as bad as you think. Maybe these people are not interested in you?" Cheng Yu shook his head and said.
"Mr. Hu, what do you mean?" Qinghai asked confused.
"Actually, the reason is very simple. Let's go back to the mansion first. After working hard for so long, let's go back and have a rest first!" Cheng Yu smiled and walked in the direction of the city lord's mansion.
"Mr. Hu, what do you mean by this? This matter is no joke, and time is running out. You'd better take my wife and children out of the city quickly?" Qinghai hurriedly followed. He was about to go back to pick up his wife and children. call.
"City Lord, do you think it has anything to do with whether Qingmu City belongs to Longying or Xiaohai?" Cheng Yu said as he walked.
"This... naturally has nothing to do with it. Whether this Qingmu City belongs to Longying or Xiaohai, we have to hand over enough resources to them every year." Qinghai thought for a while. said.
"That's enough. If that's the case, then what else do you have to worry about? Isn't it obvious now? As soon as they entered the city, they headed towards the west city where Dragon Eagle was located, but they haven't attacked the city lord's mansion yet. Take action, what does this mean?" Cheng Yu continued.
"What does it mean?" Listening to Cheng Yu's words, a bright light flashed in Qinghai's mind, and he seemed to have thought of something, but it was not very clear.
"This shows that even if they take over Aoki City, they will not take action against you, because all they want is a question of ownership. As long as Aoki City belongs to Xiaohai, as for who is the lord of Aoki City, for him There is no difference.
What's more, the Lord of Qingcheng has such a high prestige in Qingmu City, and the people are under your governance, and this Qingmu City is developing very well. If Xiaohai occupied Aoki City, he would naturally hope that Aoki City could be stabilized in the shortest possible time.
And who in this Qingmu City can do this, isn't it you, the Lord of Qingcheng? If that's the case, why do they want to kill you? "Cheng Yu said very calmly.
"Mr. Hu's words seem to make sense. Do you mean they really won't do anything to me?" Qinghai's eyes became brighter and brighter while following Cheng Yu and listening to Cheng Yu's words.
"That's natural. If they really wanted to change the city lord, how could they only go to the West City as soon as they entered the city? Didn't this completely leave you with time and opportunity to escape? So they didn't think about it from the beginning. If they want to change the city lord, they want someone who can kill all the dragon eagles!"
"But I am also from Longying!" Although Cheng Yu said it confidently, Qinghai still had no idea in his heart.
After all, Cheng Yu was speculating on all this, but if Cheng Yu's guess was wrong, wouldn't it mean that all of their family members would die?
"Really? But Long Ying Wai Chao and Xiao Wai Chao don't think so, what do you think?" Cheng Yu turned around, looked at Qinghai and smiled.
"This...seems like this!" Qinghai was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly.
Indeed, in Long Ying's eyes, he was really not a Long Ying person. Although they, the city lords, usually seem to be very prestigious in front of outsiders, but in front of these Dragon Eagle people, they really have no status at all.
Moreover, their relationship with Longying is more like an exchange of interests. Even if Rucheng had already attacked Aoki City, he still had to pay for resources when asking Elder Qin to borrow troops. Otherwise, even if Aoki City was breached, it seemed to be none of their business.
Therefore, whether this Aoki City is within the jurisdiction of Longying or Xiaohai, it is actually the same. For him, it's just a matter of who to give this year's resources to.
If Long Ying is in charge, give the resources to Long Ying; if Xiao Hai is in charge, then give the resources to Xiao Hai!
"That's it. In fact, whether it is Long Ying or Xiao Hai, they are actually the same. So they don't care who is the city lord. What they want is whether you can hand over enough resources to them every year. , this is enough!" Cheng Yu said.
"So, am I really safe now?" Qinghai really felt that this was the case after being reminded by Cheng Yu.
"Of course, so you don't have to worry so much. Besides, if they really come looking for you, just say you want to join Xiao Hai." Cheng Yu said nonchalantly.
"Ask me to seek refuge with Xiao Hai?" Qinghai hesitated for a moment. If these people didn't kill him, it would be fine, but asking him to openly seek refuge with Xiao Hai would give him a bad reputation.
"Do you think you have any other choice?" Cheng Yu said lightly!
"Not good!" However, at this moment, Qinghai looked ahead, his face changed drastically, and he rushed over!
