The city lord of Gui looked at the person who came, his mood was extremely happy, and he hurriedly walked out and came to him, and the housekeeper looked at the city lord of Gui with such a demeanor, and he also let down his guard. "Haha.... I didn't expect you to be here tonight. The Lord of Guicheng put his hands on the shoulders of the black shadow and smiled heartily.

The visitor slowly raised his head, took off his cloak, a pair of closed eyes were particularly obvious, and he was holding a wooden staff in his hand, looking like Ming Lao.

After the city lord Gui finished speaking, he pulled Ming Lao to sit on the chair beside him, Ming Lao looked a little flattered, and hurriedly said: "I can't help it, how can you bother the city lord like this, and torture me." ”

The Lord of Guicheng didn't seem to care, and said, "Elder Ming, you are also my brother according to your age, this is what I should do, don't say that." Seeing that the Lord of Gui City said this, Ming Lao no longer gave in and sat down peacefully.

The housekeeper on the side didn't know Ming Lao, so he was very puzzled and asked, "Lord City, this is..."

"Oh. The city lord of Gui suddenly thought that Ming Lao had changed too much, and Uncle Hu didn't recognize it for a while, and explained, "Uncle Hu, this is Brother Yeming, En~ Now people outside are called Ming Lao, and he is famous." ”

"This is Yeming, Yeming of the Ye family? No wonder the old man didn't recognize it, it's your change that is really, really too big. "The housekeeper was really surprised, the genius of the Ye family, the successor of Fengcheng, suddenly disappeared outside eight years ago, many people thought he was dead, but they didn't expect it to become like this. The butler sighed in his heart, even if he returned to Maple City now, no one would want to admit it.

Hearing the title of the Lord of Guicheng, Ming Lao hurriedly stood up and bowed to the housekeeper, Ming Lao thought that he was staying next to the Lord of Guicheng's attendant, but he didn't expect it to be this old gentleman, "Old man, don't blame Ye Ming for being rude, I really don't know that the old man is here." ”

The housekeeper also smiled and said: "Xiao Ming, I'm just an old bone now, I heard the city lord say that you are also a strong person when you are outside, so this gift will be waived." ”

"How dare you, this is the etiquette that you should do as a junior. Ming Lao also said seriously, and then made a gesture to the Lord of Guicheng, "The City Lord, don't call me any Ming Lao, it's just the love of everyone outside, since you saved me, my life belongs to you, besides, you are the Lord of the Southern Regions, your status is noble, just call me Yeming." ”

"Ming..."The Guicheng Lord just wanted to speak, but then changed his words, "Brother Yeming, you also know that I don't like the rules, it's not too much to call you big brother, and you also said that I saved your life, so you don't have to shirk anymore, or I will be angry." ”

Ming Lao had no choice but to nod his head in agreement, seeing this, the Lord of Guicheng smiled again, sat down, and asked: "Brother Yeming, I am here tonight, I don't know what is important?"

Ming Lao sorted out his thoughts and went straight to the point, "City Lord, has Liucheng encountered great difficulties now?"

The rain outside was even more violent, and the lightning illuminated the entire City Lord's Mansion clearly, the wind was whistling, and the streets of the entire Moon Willow City were quiet and a little terrifying.

The Lord of Guicheng was stunned for a moment, no matter how he thought about it, he didn't expect that Ming Lao would ask these questions directly, but he still replied, "Yes! How did Brother Yeming know?"

"The entire Southern Regions know that Yueliucheng has never been able to understand things according to common sense, but now you have announced that the entire Southern Regions will participate in the martial arts competition, although it is very similar to the usual style, but if you think about it carefully, it is still a little different, the daughter of the lord of the Southern Regions is not worried about marrying, even if there is no martial arts competition, Miss Yue'er is also the dream of many people, but if you do this, it seems that you want to marry your daughter. ”

City Lord Gui pondered for a moment and nodded with deep sympathy, "Well, there is indeed some truth to what you said, could it be that the entire Southern Region knows the situation in Yueliu City?"

Ming Lao shook his head and said: "This is not true, the five major cities began to follow Yueliu City a hundred years ago, saying that whoever knows Yueliu City best is naturally the people of the five major cities, as for others, they should not think so much." Since the death of the old city lord, the five major cities are no longer single-minded, Wind Forest City and Qingxue City are still dominated by Yueliu City, but Sen Yin City is ambitious, and wants to be the lord of the Southern Regions. As for Fengcheng, after Yezhao sat on the position of the city lord, he also had the intention of fighting for hegemony. They were concerned about Yueliu City's every move all the time, and now, their opportunity had come. Ming Lao paused, and then said, "But I still don't understand, what is their chance? How dare they dare to call Banyue Liucheng, even if it is three against three, they are bound to lose." ”

The Lord of Guicheng smiled bitterly twice and said, "Brother Yeming is right, the people of the Five Great Cities know about Yueliu City, on the contrary, how can Yueliu City not pay attention to the Five Great Cities? Even if I never interfere in the affairs of the Southern Regions, I still have to understand their movements. Yueliu City has ruled the Southern Regions for a hundred years, and it has been peaceful for too long, and it has been suppressed for too long, and they have long wanted to change the pattern of this Southern Regions. Sighing, the City Lord of Gui glanced at the housekeeper, nodded and continued, "As for what you said you will lose, if Yueliu City is no more, then do you think they will still lose?"

"How so?"

"Ten years ago, I strayed into Baiqi Mountain and was seriously injured, and at that time, my father fought with the fierce beast inside in order to save me, and finally barely escaped, but my father was fatally injured, and I was also poisoned by the tail of the fierce beast, fortunately I was treated by an old gentleman, and barely survived until now. And my father was sentenced to death by the old gentleman.,Hey.。。 Maybe my father sensed something at that time and lasted for two years before he died. ”

Baiqi Mountain is one of the forbidden places in the Southern Regions, not that it is full of dangers, but there is a fierce beast living in it, which is extremely vicious, but it never leaves the mountain. Many people once wanted to recover it, but they all became food in their stomachs, and over time, no one had the idea of fighting it, and Baiqi Mountain became a forbidden place.

"Isn't there a medicine that can cure you of the poison?"

"Yes, it's the stop of Baiqi Mountain, but I have been guarded by that fierce beast, and I can't get it at all, and a year ago, when I went to Baiqi Mountain again, I noticed that someone was watching there, I think they have already speculated something, and now it is even more difficult. Now my health is getting worse and worse, I don't know when I will fall, I only have one daughter in Yue'er, even if I destroy Yueliu City, I have to protect her. So he came up with a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, attracting everyone in the Southern Regions, and after it was over, let Uncle Hu take Yue'er to take advantage of the chaos to sneak out. ”

"You are doing this because you are preparing to give up Moon Willow City, so because of this, the Southern Regions will also be in war again, don't you think about the people of the Southern Regions?"

"If I can't let Yue'er live happily, this southern region will become a chaotic place again, what do I have to do. Back then, the ancestors pacified the Southern Regions and established Yueliu City, which was just so that the old grandmother could live happily and peacefully, otherwise they would not have formed five major cities to manage the entire Southern Regions. Now, Brother Yeming should stop clinging to Yueliu City, I am already powerless. ”

Ming Lao listened to the tone of the Gui City Lord, although he knew that he had made up his mind, Ming Lao still didn't want to give up, and said: "What the City Lord said is very true, but it is also because of Yueliu City, the people of the entire Southern Regions feel the happiness of stability, after a hundred years, Yueliu City has already become a symbol of the Southern Regions, and every city lord is the pillar of their hearts, if you give up directly, everyone will lose their backbone, and the Southern Regions will be the real chaos." Ming Lao slowly stood up, sincere and serious, "Yueliu City has a lot of followers, as long as you nod, we will swear to help each other." I'm here to do this for this purpose. ”

"Even if Brother Yeming helps, what are the odds?"

"I also have a bit of a thin face outside, so that those old monsters will not interfere, in Maple City, although Yezhao has been the city lord for many years, as long as he dares to have two hearts, there will still be objections, I will do my best to contact and disrupt Maple City's plan. In this way, even if the lord of the city does not make a move, he will be forty percent sure. ”

"Forty percent sure, it's not low. City Lord Gui nodded and said. Subsequently, the Lord of Guicheng and Ming Lao discussed many details, until in the middle of the night, the wind outside stopped, and the rain fell drop by drop.

Ming Lao stood up, bowed and said, "In this case, Lord of the City, old man, I will leave first." The lord of Guicheng returned the salute with the housekeeper, sent Ming Lao to the door, and said, "Brother Yeming, be careful on the road." Ming Lao nodded, and disappeared into the night.

The lord of Guicheng and the housekeeper returned to the study, and the lord of Guicheng stood in front of the window, quietly looking into the distance. After a long time, he suddenly said, "Uncle Hu, just say what you have." ”

"Why don't you tell him the truth? ”

City Lord Gui smiled bitterly twice and said: "Uncle Hu, do you think it is necessary to say, looking at the appearance of Brother Yeming, he will even push Yue'er to the front, he wants Yueliu City to exist forever, forget it, I will insist until Yue'er walks out safely." It's late at night, Uncle Hu, rest early. ”

"Yes, the lord of the castle should also rest early. The butler quit and left the study.

"What is the right thing to do? Father, can you tell me? A heavy sigh rang out, and the light in the study flickered and went out twice.
