Chapter 234: A Smile and a Grudge
After handing over the inventory of spirit stones and taxes to Lan Yanxue, Xu Hao returned to the City Lord's Mansion, he had already asked the people of the Xuanwu Camp to send all those jade slips to Wei Mofeng, now he is really relaxed, he doesn't have to worry about anything, and finally has time to cultivate well.
Spiritual sense swept and found that Lin Qi had come back, she originally had a house in Spring City, but she was bored and panicked, so she took the initiative to move into the City Lord's Mansion, usually living on the second floor of the City Lord's Mansion, Xu Hao glanced at the City Lord's Mansion in Spring City, this City Lord's Mansion was still built by Wu Zhenhao back then, and it has not been changed since she lived there.
Now it seems that the overall color of this city lord's mansion is black and purple, very cold, there was not much time before, but now it is relatively empty, but there is time to rebuild it, this city lord's mansion covers a large and ugly area, and it seems that there are Wu Jinhao's shadows everywhere.
Xu Hao thought about it and completely decided to change the city lord's mansion in a few days, and the place where he lived had to at least make himself a little more comfortable, but at this moment he still had one thing to do, that is, the position of the city lord of Spring City, the location of Spring City is very special, this is the capital of the Fog Seeking Alliance, and this position was also held by Wang Ergou before, but it is vacant at the moment, who should this position be handed over?
He thought about it and felt that his mind was very messy, at this time the weather outside gradually darkened, Xu Hao returned to his practice room, he already had an idea of the candidate for the city lord, let's talk about it tomorrow morning, and about letting Wei Mofeng govern, I also have to discuss it with Tan Sheng and the others.
Time is in a hurry, tonight's moonlight is very beautiful, although it is not a full moon, but it is also very bright and pleasant, the cicadas outside the window are melodious, a few birds fly into the distance, just passing by Xu Hao's window, the sound of flapping wings does not break this tranquility, but makes all this more beautiful.
Soon the night passed, and there were pedestrians on the streets very early, and many mortals would gather at this point to sell something, they called it the morning market, and at this time, both big hotels and small restaurants would buy things here, so it was full of people.
The five thousand people of the Xuanwu camp are usually hidden around Xu Hao, Ji Sen asked Xu Hao several times if he wanted to drive those mortals away so as not to disturb Xu Hao's rest, but Xu Hao stopped him, in the midst of the crowd Xu Hao had a very peaceful mood, everyone has their own life trajectory, even those mortals, why should he interfere with them? Besides, Xu Hao also likes to be lively in his heart.
At noon, Xu Hao took Lin Qi to Lao Li Tou's hot pot restaurant again, he asked the people from the Xuanwu Camp to call Tan Sheng, Mo Zha Xiao over again, Lao Li Tou felt very happy, he already knew the identity of Xu Hao and others, these are all real bosses.
Since the last time they came here for a meal, the reputation here has become even more vigorous, almost every day is full, this time I heard that Xu Hao is here again, Lao Li Tou immediately emptied all the people on the second floor, they put the table together and hurriedly ran to the carpenter shop to order a big table, in case Xu Hao and others come again next time.
Seeing that everyone was coming, Xu Hao sat on the main seat and whispered to Lin Qi next to him: "If you like to eat, hurry up and order it yourself." Lin Qi was happy to hear this, so he went to talk to the old Li Tou.
Xu Hao paused and looked at everyone and coughed and said: "This time, let everyone come and announce three things, first, I have found the best candidate for the government, he will be there soon, he will be mainly responsible for the transfer of personnel in various places and dealing with the big and small affairs of each city in ordinary times, I am going to seal him as the official of the chief inspector of the fog alliance."
The second thing is that in the future, all the taxes and spirit stones of our Fog Alliance will be handed over to Senior Sister Basket to manage, and everyone needs to ask her for approval directly if they need Spirit Stones, and the transfer of Spirit Stones must be signed by our Chief Inspector and Senior Sister Basket at the same time before it can take effect.
The third thing is that there is still a lack of a city lord in Spring City, and it is okay to talk about other places, but Spring City is the heart of our Fog Alliance, this is absolutely sloppy, do you have any ideas?
Everyone shook their heads and was silent when they heard this, now they don't dare to talk casually, yesterday Tan Sheng mentioned Wang Ergou and provoked Xu Hao's anger, this time they didn't dare to say it again.
"Third child, come on, I just want to listen to you alone today. Xu Hao took a sip of wine and looked at Tan Sheng and said.
"Huh?" Tan Sheng was shocked, what does Xu Hao mean by this, is he still angry about yesterday's events? But at this time, his strength also came up, and he said: "Boss, no matter how many times you ask me, I always feel that Wang Ergou is a credible person, although he is greedy, but he has never thought of betraying us." ”
"What about your opinions?" asked Xu Hao, looking around.
But at this moment, everyone didn't speak, and if they showed such unity at this time, they would be suspected of forming a party, but in fact, they still hoped that Xu Hao could spare Wang Ergou's life.
"Hey, okay. Xu Hao snapped his fingers and said, "Bring him up." ”
A person from the Xuanwu camp bowed his hand and walked out, and after a while, Wang Ergou was brought up, and everyone couldn't help but sigh when they saw Wang Ergou's appearance at this time, he now has deep eye sockets, his face is yellow and thin, his white prison uniform looks dirty, and the whole person is very pitiful.
"Old ...... Alliance Leader. Wang Ergou's mouth opened and he still didn't call out the "boss", Xu Hao glanced at him coldly and said, "What have you thought about in it these days?"
"Alliance leader, our prison in Spring City is really difficult, there is everything in it, mosquito bites, rat lights, these are just that, the moonlight outside the window every night mixed with the aroma of morning buns is really uncomfortable. Wang Ergou said with a wry smile.
"Have you realized these things in the past few days?" Xu Hao said coldly.
"Not only that, every night I look at the moonlight in the prison and think about a lot of things, if I hadn't met you back then, my encounter today might be a different one, maybe I continued to be a little mercenary, or maybe I would have died at the hands of demon beasts a long time ago.
In the past few years, I have experienced unprecedented pride in the Fog Alliance, and I am enough in this life, and the leader of the alliance will give me a good time for the sake of my lack of merit and hard work, all of you brothers are here, I really don't have the face to live anymore. ”
"Hmph, isn't it easy to want to die? The difficult thing is how to live well, coveting spirit stones may be the greed in your heart, but why do you want to raise 30,000 soldiers, do you have the idea of subverting my Fog Alliance? Isn't it enough that I give you rights? Do you still think about the position of the leader of the alliance in your heart?" Xu Hao turned his head away from looking at Wang Ergou, but he still said so in his mouth.
"No, big brother, I never thought of betraying you, it's just me...... It's true....... Wang Ergou couldn't say a word anymore when he said this, and he couldn't say a complete sentence.
"What is really fake, if you have something to say, the eldest brother is not a person who doesn't miss the old love, why do you do that?" Tan Sheng slapped the table and said loudly.
"I really can't say, but I can guarantee that my Wang Ergou has never thought anything about the position of the eldest brother, and I have always been controlled by others. Wang Ergou yelled and tore his shirt apart, and suddenly Lan Yanxue, Sun Xiaoshuang and others turned their backs with a scream.
Xu Hao didn't have any ideas, Wang Ergou's cultivation was sealed at this time, and anyone present could be killed at will, he squinted his eyes and saw that a very hideous black flower appeared on Wang Ergou's upper body at some point.
The big flower has opened a little bit at the moment, but the demonic temperament on it is still very obvious, Xu Hao took a step and grabbed Wang Ergou, and his aura stretched into Wang Ergou's body, but the moment the aura entered, the demonic flower seemed to be injected with nutrients, and immediately swayed and grew up a little.
"What the hell is this?" the crowd gathered around in amazement.
"Wangbei, have you ever seen this thing?" Xu Hao turned his head and asked Luo Wangbei, only his cultivation was the highest here.
"No, but it can be concluded that this must be something similar to a Gu worm, I'm afraid that Wang Ergou will also be harmed in some way when this thing is fully opened. Luo Wangbei said lightly.
"When did you get this thing, why didn't you say it earlier?" Xu Hao said to Wang Ergou with a frown.
Wang Ergou knelt on the ground and gritted his teeth, picked up the wine jug on the table, drank it and said: "Alas, this is all that demon girl, a few years ago we just gained a foothold in Spring City, everything is in ruins, just when I was about to show my strength, the woman appeared, I originally thought she was just a mortal woman, she looked very pitiful, I saw her kneeling outside my house in single clothes in winter, very pitiful, I was soft-hearted and took her into my house.
But for the next period of time, she behaved so well, I was very busy every day, but she arranged everything in the house every day, and in the end I found that I was used to her, and then we simply had a wedding ceremony, which was going to be attended by all of you, but she said that she didn't want anything, and said that she didn't like a lot of people.
I was also fascinated by it at the time, and I actually agreed to her, and on the day of the cave room, she said that she was from the Western Regions, and all the women there would hold a ceremony when they were in the cave room, and this thing was born.
I only discovered this thing in the last few years, but when I found out, I was completely under her control, I had to listen to her, and as long as I had the slightest disobedience to her, this strange flower would torture me in every way.
She had asked me to sprinkle something strange on my eldest brother more than once, and I didn't do it to the death, and she probably didn't force me so much because she was afraid that I would die, but she said that if I didn't find a new host for her quickly, it would be time for me to die when the flower was fully opened. ”
"Ji Sen, where are Wang Ergou's family?" Xu Hao said as he turned his head to look at Ji Sen.
"Report to the alliance leader, and he is still being imprisoned in the Spring City prison. Ji Sen said with a fist clenched.
"Okay, don't startle the snake, you now go to a small courtyard in the south of the city to ask a man named Chen Haoliang, let him go to the Spring City Prison to help, that courtyard is easy to find, it is full of peach blossoms, and there are two stone lions at the door, he asked you who asked you to find him, you just show him my identity token." ”
Xu Hao waved his hand and threw his identity token to Ji Sen and then said to everyone: "I'm going to Wangbei and I, you are not good at doing it, just wait for us here, if necessary, I will send someone to inform you." ”
After saying this, Xu Hao and Luo Wangbei hurriedly flew towards the location of the Spring City prison.
