In came a burly man, in his fifties, with an angular face like a carving, unusually handsome, sideburns like a knife, and eyebrows like ink paintings. Wearing an orange chrysanthemum robe, he was tied with a silver silk flower festival long spike palace silk, and the dark brown daqi hung down behind him.

The young lady hurriedly greeted her, and her lips opened lightly. "Father!"

The man said "um" and said to Xiaoqing, "You go out first!"

Xiaoqing left in a hurry after giving a salute.

After the person sat down, he pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Biqing, you can sit too!"

After Wang Biqing poured a cup of tea for her father, Wang Songzhi, the city lord of Moon City, she sat down on the golden silk nanmu chair opposite.

"How are you doing in the days that my father has been out?" Wang Songzhi looked at his daughter, full of anticipation.

"I'm afraid that my daughter is going to disappoint her father!" Wang Biqing lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

"Have you found all the people?"

"Everyone is found, but ......" Wang Biqing stopped talking.

"But what?"

"The people found by the Wu brothers were either bought or cheated, and it is estimated that martial arts are also ordinary. ”

"Isn't there one available?" Wang Songzhi frowned, a little frustrated.

Wang Biqing raised her head suddenly. "One or two might work. ”

Wang Songzhi stood up and paced back and forth in the room, looking a little restless. "Isn't it clear to me who the Wu brothers can find? It may be okay to arrange for them to do something simple and straightforward, but how can such an important matter be entrusted to them?"

Wang Biqing's face was sad. "But who else can I go to but them?"

Wang Songzhi stopped, as if he had made up his mind. "Well, put my personal guards on top, maybe there's still a chance. ”

"No, my mother chose to find you before she died, and you can't sacrifice for this little thing in vain. ”

Wang Songzhi sighed and fell into deep thought.

"Father, is this gladiatorial match really that important? ”

"Silly boy, this time is different, it may not be important to me, but it is different for you!"

Wang Biqing asked in a low voice, "Biqing doesn't understand. ”

Wang Songzhi looked out the window, as if talking to himself. "Time is running out. ”

Wang Songzhi hesitated for a moment and turned his head to look at his daughter. "What did you mean when you said there were one or two more that worked?"

Wang Biqing replied: "Boss Wu, they deceived a strange person, who seems to be very powerful, and the twenty guards I brought with him can't stop him. ”

Wang Biqing briefly told Wang Songzhi what happened, and Wang Songzhi gradually had a happy expression on his face after listening to it.

"And who else are you talking about?"

As Xiaoqing said, one of them has a bearded dart master who also has some skills. ”

"What can Xiaoqing's ghost girl see? But since she is a dart master, her skills should not be much worse. It's all right now!' Wang Songzhi's serious face finally showed a smile.

Wang Biqing looked confused. "Father, what's wrong?"

Wang Songzhi couldn't hide his excitement. "I've been looking for the right people these days, so naturally I'm going to hide it from the old guys. I put you in charge of this gladiatorial tournament to make them look at you with admiration, and I have been secretly looking for someone who has the ability to win the competition, and I have only found three people in the world. ”

Wang Songzhi glanced at his daughter, and then said: "Fortunately, the gods bless, and Biqing also has nobles to help." After speaking, Wang Songzhi's words changed. "However, it is unlikely that he will win against the old man of the Sugar Alliance. I even went to the Gobi Desert, but I didn't find the giant tribe, and I don't know where the old man Li found the giant. ”

"It turns out that my father has been running around for Biqing. Wang Biqing was moved, looking at Wang Songzhi's vicissitudes of life with pity, tears falling gently down her fair cheeks.

"Even if we lose to the Sugar League, winning second place is considered to live up to expectations. Look what the old men have to say!"

"Who is my father talking about?"

"Naturally, it's those old fellows of the Chamber of Commerce! Father's health is getting worse and worse, so I have to leave everything in your hands while it's not so bad. ”

Wang Biqing was shocked after hearing this. "Father, Biqing is just a girl, how can she do well?"

"Originally, I didn't plan to let you bear all this, I planned to wait for you to be older, help you choose a good husband, let him bear this, but I'm afraid it's too late!"

"Why is it too late? You tell Biqing, what happened?"

"Don't ask me anything, just listen to me. There were originally 100,000 mercenaries in the entire Moon City, the city lord controlled 50,000, and the rest was controlled by the Chamber of Commerce. But now the various chambers of commerce are constantly expanding their troops, and the Salt Alliance, the Tea Alliance, the Sugar Alliance, the Iron Alliance, and other alliances have expanded their army by 100,000. What do they want to do?"

Wang Songzhi walked to the windowsill, cast his cold eyes out of the window, and then said: "The outside world is not peaceful, and there are many wars. But we are afraid that there is also an undercurrent in Moon City, and the signs of their secret alliance are becoming more and more obvious, and I can already see from their opposition to you taking the position of city lord, they want to change the sky! ”

The cold wind rolled up and the snowflakes blew in, Wang Songzhi didn't feel the chill at all, and his gray hair was picked up by the cold wind. Wang Biqing suddenly found that her father was so lonely, and the high-spirited father in the past seemed to be unable to come back.

She stepped forward and took her father's hands, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After saying this, Wang Songzhi looked back at his daughter, the anger just now was completely gone, and there was a kind of father's love and warmth. "You go there tomorrow and bring the three people I'm looking for with you, so that they can get to know each other. ”

Wang Biqing smiled at Wang Songzhi, she wanted to use her smile to dissolve the cold ice in her father's heart, which was the only thing she thought she could do.

It was already very late at night, and Wang Biqing sat on the edge of the bed, very troubled. In this palace, she lived for sixteen years, and she rarely even went out at the entrance of the palace, and then she had to face everything herself.

She remembered the fool's words. "Give me 5,000 gold coins so I can escape!".

She felt that the poor fool was at least trying to escape, but she was surrounded by an invisible cage, and she shouldn't even have the idea of escaping.
