Chapter 134: Misfortune in the Past Years
Because he had to talk about some big things, Xiao Yuan asked Xiao Huanshuang to avoid it first.
This aroused Xiao Huanshuang's dissatisfaction, and she actually played a child's temper and refused to leave anything.
At this time, Xiao Huansha said two words to her, and the other party actually ran away happily.
Seeing this, Yun Mo was very puzzled, "What did you say to her?
"It's nothing?" Xiao Huansha stroked Qingsi and said lightly, "I told her that if she is obedient, I will let her hold her for a while later." ”
"Ahh
Hearing Xiao Huansha actually say such a thing, Yun Mo couldn't help but be stunned, "But I don't know what's going on, I'm very afraid of Huanshuang." If it doesn't, aren't you breaking your promise?"
Xiao Huansha smiled slightly, "It's okay, I'm delaying the army." ”
"But if you do that, you'll make her think you're lying to her. The deception is small, but if you lose her trust, it will be a big deal!" Yun Mo said in a hurry.
"Uh, you're thinking too much!" Yun Mo was so excited, which made Xiao Huansha a little strange, "Such a trivial matter, Huanshuang won't care!"
"But—"
Yun Mo wanted to say something, but Xiao Yuan stepped forward directly and coughed dryly, "What's the matter?
So Yun Mo told the matter again.
Xiao Yuan was not interested in this matter, but he was very interested in Doudou, because he also saw that Doudou's divine horse was extraordinary.
For Doudou, Xiao Yuan gave the following evaluation.
"This little guy is absolutely extraordinary, if he has the opportunity to grow up, it will be amazing!"
However, the "trust" dispute between Yun Mo and Xiao Huansha continued, and was finally persuaded by Xiao Yuan.
"Since Yun Xian's nephew cares so much about trust, then in order not to damage their feelings, let Yun Xian's nephew handle this matter!"
Xiao Yuan looked at Yun Mo with a smile on his face.
"This-"
As soon as these words came out, Yun Mo's face immediately changed, and then he smiled slightly, "That-just let me not say it!"
Just kidding, if this matter was originally only going around, it would be simple, but it also involved a little girl - sorry, it was too difficult, Yun Mo could only choose to give up, and he didn't even think about it.
One sentence ended the dispute, and Xiao Yuan immediately cut to the chase.
"Now the situation in Beixiao City is relatively stable on the surface, but there is an undercurrent. ”
Hearing this, Yun Mo's face turned straight, and then asked, "Has the Ke family made any recent moves?"
Before Xiao Yuan could speak, Xiao Huansha on the side said leisurely, "The Ke family is preparing to hold a city lord conference, and it is estimated that at the conference, it will be announced that they will officially become the city lord!"
City Lord?
Yun Mo immediately asked curiously, "What about the original city lord, how could he let the Ke family be so arrogant, and the city lord position was willing to give up?"
Every city will have a city lord, and a qualified city lord will adopt a trade-off strategy in the face of the big family in the city, and will definitely not let the family dominate and threaten his position.
Yun Mo deeply understands this.
In fact, part of the reason why their Yun family was able to rise up was that the city lord at that time wanted to balance the Lu family. When their Yun family had the strength to crush the Lu family, the city lord pulled the Lu family again, curbing the development momentum of the Yun family.
The lord of the castle has no fixed allies, but is constantly changing opponents.
At the mention of this, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Huansha actually sighed at the same time, their expressions were a little complicated.
Seeing them like this, Yun Mo frowned, "What's going on, could it be that something happened to him?"
Sighing, Xiao Yuan said a little gloomily, "Yun Xian's nephew doesn't know that a disaster happened in our Beixiao City three years ago!"
"At that time, Beixiao City didn't know who a group of people came, and they actually washed away the blood of the City Lord's Mansion, and more than 200 people in the City Lord's Mansion all died, and the death was extremely tragic!
"How can such a thing happen?"
Hearing Xiao Yuan's description, Yun Mo couldn't help but lower his head and ponder.
After a while, he asked again, "Then in the past three years, Beixiao City has not elected a new city lord?"
"Nope!"
Xiao Yuan shook his head, "Their Ke family has coveted the position of city lord for a long time, but with the existence of our Xiao family, they have never succeeded. In the past three years, our two families have each accounted for half of the power of Beixiao City. ”
"I see!"
Yun Mo nodded, as if he could understand why Ke Yan was so arrogant at that time, and he was not cleaned up by others, it turned out that their Ke family controlled half of the power of Beixiao City.
At this time, Xiao Huansha added, "However, the Ke family has been trying their best to suppress our Xiao family in the past three years, suppressing our Xiao family in business, and trying their best to expand their strength. Now they feel that they can deal with us, so they proposed to reopen the city lord conference, wanting to take this opportunity to officially become the city lord of Beixiao City. ”
Yun Mo nodded, and then seemed to remember something, "I heard that you defeated the Ke family several times in the business field some time ago. How about it, are you sure that you will suppress the Ke family's business?"
"Hmm!"
After thinking about it, Xiao Huansha nodded, "I delayed it for some reasons before, but their Ke family will not be able to recover for a while, and I am confident that I can crush their business!"
"That's fine!" Yun Mo nodded, "In addition to business, is there anything else that threatens you from the Ke family?"
"Nothing else. Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment, "However, the position of the guard in the city is very important to our Xiao family, but we have not found a suitable candidate for a long time!"
"Oh?" Yun Mo became interested, "Tell me more. ”
Xiao Yuan paused and explained, "The guards in the city are actually the city guards of Beixiao City, and to put it bluntly, they are a force that determines the real direction of Beixiao City. At present, the captain of the city guard team in Beixiao City is still the person named by the previous city lord, while our Xiao family and Ke family each have a place in the deputy team of the city guard. ”
"Don't look at the two of us as vice captains, in fact, the main force of the city guard is controlled by our two families, because it is the combat power of our two families. Of course, the power of the current captain should not be underestimated, but he is neutral, so in order not to make him fall to the other side, the two of us also have a tacit attitude towards his existence. ”
"Now we don't have enough masters in the Xiao family, so the position of vice captain has always been held by me personally. ”
After listening to Xiao Yuan's introduction, Yun Mo roughly understood the current situation in Beixiao City.
Xiao Yuan sighed, "Actually, I'm not very good at managing the city guards, managing family affairs, and other things. Otherwise, the Xiao family would not be so decadent in my hands. ”
"Uncle Xiao, don't say that!" Yun Mo immediately comforted when he saw this, "Everyone has their own side of their own strengths, don't be presumptuous!"
"So, I want to recommend you to be this vice-captain!"
At this time, Xiao Yuan suddenly said, "I can see that you have some kind of potential, the deputy captain of the city guard, you must be better than me!"
Xiao Huansha on the side also nodded.
Yun Mo wanted to excuse himself, but in the end he nodded, after all, he was here to help the Xiao family, and if he refused, it would inevitably make people doubt his motives.
"Good. If Uncle Xiao doesn't mind, I'll be the deputy captain!"
"That's great!"
Xiao Yuan smiled slightly at Yun Mo's affirmative answer, as if he was very satisfied with Yun Mo's answer.
And Xiao Huansha also looked at Yun Mo, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"I hope he can help our Xiao family tide over this difficulty, and when the time comes, he - maybe- is a good place to go!"
There was a brilliant look in her beautiful eyes, and a different mood rippled slightly in Xiao Huansha's heart.
