"But boss, how do I feel so much like the rice basket that a woman is holding when she brings food to her husband who is about to be executed?"

“............”

Finally, Xu Ruyun still accepted the lid, after all, he wanted to be cold if it could warm him.

Even if it doesn't seem auspicious, as long as you don't think about it, there's nothing wrong with it.

............

"Hahaha, I didn't expect it!

How would such a stingy person as the Nangong City Lord actually call us to drink?

A hearty laugh rang out from the front of the City Lord's Mansion.

The soldiers hurriedly looked and saw two men and a woman standing in front of the door, both with smiles on their faces.

And the voice just now came from the mouth of a handsome young man dressed as a scholar.

"Xiao Ming, you give me a quiet moment, no one will treat you as a mute if you don't speak!"

Another plump woman with a peach blossom appearance scolded.

But her voice was crisp and soft, not like a scolding, but like flirting between lovers.

"Sister Xu Qi, you said that Brother Nangong called you, aren't you happy?

What are you doing with a straight face?" Xiao Ming did not restrain himself, but looked at Xu Qi with a flirtatious face.

"Hmm, I think you're looking for a fight!" Xu Qi frowned, raised his hand and was about to hit Xiao Ming.

"Okay, don't mess around, no matter how you say it, this is also Brother Nangong's territory, and you still have to have the face you deserve. A big man with a Chinese face next to him finally spoke up to stop the two who were messing around.

"Brother Hong Zhang, this is none of my business, Sister Xu Qi has to beat me. Xiao Ming dodged Xu Qi's attack, and there was an uncontrollable smile on his face.

"Okay, my brother doesn't know what's going on with us yet, let's go in first and wait until we're done messing around. Hong Zhang glared and said sternly.

"Cut, it's boring. Seeing this, Xiao Ming had no choice but to put away his smiling face, pursed his lips and said.

"I don't know who the three are?" Finally, one of the two gatekeepers took two steps forward, bowed with his fists in his fist, and asked very respectfully.

"Xiao Ming, the city lord of Ming City. ”

"Xu Qi, the city lord of Sunset City. ”

"Hong Zhang, the city lord of Shengyun City. ”

............

"Three, how did you come so quickly? I just sent someone to inform you.

I thought you would come with the soldiers, but I didn't expect you to come here now.

If I had known, I would have prepared a feast for the three of us. ”

Nangong Yi suddenly felt that someone was approaching behind him, and hurriedly turned around, only to find that it was the three city lords standing behind him.

"It's not too late to prepare for the banquet now! I must get drunk with your eldest brother today!" Xiao Ming didn't know where to take out a fan, walked in front of Nangong Yi, and beat his body back and forth.

"What are you doing?" Nangong Yi was also a little confused about this way of meeting.

What's wrong with this old brother of you? Why do you hit yourself with a fan as soon as you come up?

"Oh, didn't you listen to the soldier you sent, you were assassinated.

And the injury is quite serious, so it doesn't seem to be okay now. ”

Do you see that people are injured seriously or not, do you look at them with a fan?

When did you learn this bad problem?

"Don't make a fuss. After speaking, Nangong Yi reached out and snatched Xiao Ming's fan and threw it aside.

"Ouch! This thing is very expensive! Don't break it!" Xiao Ming picked up the fan with a distressed face, opened it and looked at it, and was relieved when he found that it was not damaged.

"Yilang, are you okay. Xu Qi took a few steps forward, gently lifted Nangong Yi's clothes, and stretched his neck to look inside.

"Hey, hey, don't do this! There are still people watching!" Nangong Yi's face turned red instantly, and he hurriedly took two steps back, temporarily avoiding Xu Qi's claws.

"The injury was so bad. Although Nangong Yi hid quickly, Xu Qi still managed to see Nangong Yi's wounds.

I saw that her face was full of distress, her eyes were moist, and the mist was instantly filled, as if she was about to turn into tears at any time.

"Don't cry!" Nangong Yi said with a headache.

If it weren't for the urgency of the matter, he wouldn't have let the three of them come together.

To put it bluntly, these three people are all the kind of problem children.

Xiao Ming is frivolous, behaves like a child, and drinks all day long.

Hong Zhang is steady, but his steadiness is really a bit too much.

No matter how funny and easy things came to him, he was as serious as if the end of the world was about to end.

Xu Qi, the biggest problem child of the three.

Born free and easy, dare to do and dare to speak, when she went out for training, Nangong Yi accidentally saved her.

Since then, she has been sticking to Nangong Yi and saying that she wants to be her wife.

And there is no idea of the difference between men and women.

Just like now, Xu Qi secretly reached out and pulled his placket again.

Is this what a normal, conservative woman should do?

However, Xu Qi seems to only do this to him alone, and others will be reprimanded by her even if they get close to her.

Taken together, these are the three problem children.

"Someone else is watching, be a little more restrained!"

Nangong Yi is also a human being, and under Xu Qi's enthusiastic offensive, he slowly fell.

Now the relationship between the two of them is basically acquiesced.

"Someone, who are they, what do you see?" Xu Qi turned his face sideways, looking at the two light bulbs behind him with a cold face.

It looked like he was going to tear those two alive.

"We didn't see anything. ”

Xiao Ming said with a wicked smile on his face.

Even Hong Zhang actually showed a smile very rarely.

"Hey, is it really okay for you to say that?" Nangong Yi was a little speechless.

But he couldn't resist.

Because Xu Qi's realm is even higher than him.

Jindan eight layers!

He was only one step away from reaching his master's realm.

Under Xu Qi's hands, he had no room to resist at all.

As for why those two didn't come to help him.

The reason is very simple, Xu Qi in this state is the one who the two will never dare to provoke.

If they dare to stop it at this time, then the two of them must be prepared to be slapped into the wall and not be able to buckle out.

That's right, the realm of the two of them is also lower than Xu Qi.

"You stop first, I still have something to tell you!" Nangong Yi, who was a little uncomfortable to be touched, finally stopped Xu Qi's next move.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Nangong Yi's expression become serious, Xu Qi also stopped moving.

"Let's go to the house first. Nangong Yi took the lead in deciding on the first house.

............

"Okay, let's talk about it now. The four of them went inside and sat down.

"Have you noticed anything strange happening in your city recently?" Nangong Yi asked with a serious face.

"Strange things?" Xiao Ming poked his head with a fan and thought carefully.

"It didn't happen, if I had to say, more people have been in the city lately than ever before.

The supply of grain in the grain stores began to exceed the demand. ”

"Me too. ”

"Coincidentally, that's the case for me here!"

"Isn't there anything else strange happening?" Nangong Yi asked without giving up.

"There really isn't any. ”

Xu Qi said with some confusion: "What's wrong?

And this is also what Xiao Ming and Hong Zhang want to ask.

If everything was normal, Nangong Yi would never ask them that.

Now that he suddenly asked, it seemed that he had discovered something.

"You should all know that I was assassinated. ”

The three nodded.

"Some time ago, there was also a city lord who was assassinated, do you know?"

"I've heard of it. Xiao Ming picked up the grapes on the table and ate them.

"He, like me, was canonized by the monarch. ”

"Does it matter?" asked Hong Zhang solemnly.

"Yes, it is unknown why the lord was assassinated.

The key is mine.

Since I became the lord of the city, I have not done anything out of the ordinary, nor have I offended anyone or force.

So, why was I assassinated too?"

Nangong Yi's words made the three of them feel a little strange.

Because they know Nangong Yi, he is a relatively quiet person.

Never take the initiative to provoke others.

And that's it, he was also assassinated, which is a bit strange to say.

"What the hell are they trying to do?"

"I don't know. Nangong Yi shook his head and said.

"However, it seems that they assassinated the city lord who was canonized by the monarch, so for your safety, they called you all over. ”

Xiao Ming and the three of them, like Nangong Yi, are all city lords who were canonized by the monarch.

As for why he didn't notify the other city lords, the reason was very simple.

The relationship is not good enough.

Although they all eat under the monarch, not everyone is so friendly and friendly.

The three problem children in front of him also have the best relationship with Nangong Yi, so they will be called over.

"Have you ever checked who is behind this kind of thing?" asked Hong Zhang solemnly.

Nangong Yi was silent for a moment, and then said, "I checked, but the result is not good." ”

"Didn't find it?"

"Found it. ”

"Who is it?"

All three wanted to know who it was.

Because if you know who is behind them, you will be more wary of them, and your own safety will be guaranteed.

even did a little bit of it, found out the clues, and the four of them went directly to a nest to serve them!

After all, they are all in the Jindan realm, although their combat power is not very top-notch, as long as they are not on the same level as the country or powerful sects.

The four Jindan realm powerhouses are enough to bulldoze everything.

"If the news is correct, then the person behind it should be Xiaoyaozong. ”

Xiaoyaozong?

Well, think about how to dodge the assassination.

It's impossible for a little scum like them to go toe-to-toe with the Xiaoyao Sect.

"How could it be the Xiaoyao Sect?" Xu Qi said in surprise as he covered his mouth.

"There's no reason for them to do this!" Xiao Ming said with a frown.

As the first sect of the Youguo Sect, there is no need for the Xiaoyao Sect to assassinate them.

Because there is no reason!

They didn't have anything on them that a big sect like the Xiaoyao Sect needed.

"Now the Xiaoyao Sect is no longer the first sect, some time ago, the sect was in a big competition, and it was my sect Lingyue Sect that won the first place. ”

"The monarch is weakening the strength and prestige of the Xiaoyao Sect?"

People who can become the lord of the city are not fools, just listening to Nangong Yi's words, Hong Zhang heard a lot of meanings.

"So in order to maintain its status, the Xiaoyao Sect will take the initiative against the city that the monarch has canonized?"
