The city lord said, "I, Yuri, am a human being, and I have always been honest and fair. You have been gracious to me, and I will repay you. I've heard that you don't like money. I can't think of any special way to repay the reward, so I'm going to invite you to a meal here. I think this is both my heart and my request, what do you think?"

Ding Qin couldn't help but hesitate in his heart. At present, the young master Eugene is becoming more and more suspicious of himself, and he is only afraid of long nights and dreams when he stays here. And although the city lord Yuri did not seem to have malicious intentions, he also used the word request. On other people's turf, if you don't agree to even such a small request, you can also get into trouble.

The city lord's proposal was obviously not to let Ding Qinjin or retreat.

The city lord may have seen Ding Qin's hesitation, and said, "Muba, you don't have to worry about it. Actually, it's getting late now, and even if you get a fast horse, it's still night. In the desert, there are many dangers when walking at night, you are not unaware. It's better to have a feast here, and leave early tomorrow morning. ”

Ding Qin frowned and thought for a while, and finally nodded, "Okay." Then according to what the lord of the city said. ”

The reason why he dared to make such a decision was also because he thought of what the city lord said to Eugene to deal with one thing and one thing. Come to think of it, this dinner should be a big scene, especially Yuri's long-term blind regain of sight, and the atmosphere will be more warm. If you grind a little more in it and stir up your emotions, maybe the whole banquet will last until dawn.

At that time, if you directly ask the city lord to leave, or simply find an opportunity to say goodbye at the banquet, it may not fall into the hands of Eugene.

Seeing that Ding Qin finally agreed, Yuri was overjoyed and immediately beckoned the staff to prepare the banquet. But Eugene, now looking at Ding Qin's eyes a little more hostile.

As Ding Qin expected, the preparation time for the banquet was very long, and it was not held until long after sunset. There were also a lot of people attending this banquet, in addition to the city lord's family, the city affairs management personnel, as well as chambers of commerce, large households, and more than 100 people.

Since there was no such a large room, the banquet was set up outside, and dozens of torches were lit around it.

Although the city lord's eyesight has not yet fully recovered, he can already see the scenery in general, and when he presided over the banquet, he also had a great sense of high spirits, and his words were impassioned. During the banquet, he praised Ding Qin several times, and also called on everyone attending the banquet to have a few more glasses with Ding Qin.

Ding Qin still adhered to his principles and did not drink. However, there is a special drink in Muromei City, which is freshly squeezed from wild fruits in the oasis, which is cool and sweet to drink, and Ding Qin drank a lot.

In the middle of the night, people were still drinking. Ding Qin was gradually snubbed by these people, after all, he was just a passerby here.

Slightly distracted, suddenly a voice sounded from behind him. "Kihachi, you healed my father, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. However, I do want to know if you were the one who fought me in Fangzhu City. ”

Ding Qin turned his head suddenly and found that it was Eugene. Eugene also drank a lot of alcohol now, and his mouth smelled of alcohol, but he didn't feel much drunk.

Ding Qin has thought about the answer to this question many times. But no matter what, he didn't have a proper statement. Although he said that no matter what he said, he might not be able to avoid another conflict with Eugene, but he still hoped that this conflict would come as late as possible.

At this moment, the city lord Yuri actually came out again to relieve the siege. He may have been paying attention to the situation on Ding Qin's side, and shouted directly at this time, "Eugene!"

Eugene's brow furrowed slightly.

"Eugene, come and toast the guests with me!" In front of outsiders, Yuri was obviously giving Eugene face, and did not directly mention the matter of Ding Qin.

Eugene glanced at Ding Qin with great dissatisfaction, didn't say anything more, and walked towards his father with a wine glass. Ding Qin's heart relaxed a little, picked up the drink and took a small sip slowly.

Looks like he should get out of here quickly.

He looked around, looking for the most suitable route to leave. Although it is dark now, it is not a big problem for Ding Qin to find it back according to the route he came.

The only trouble is that he doesn't have a fast horse. If you find yourself slipping away, Eugene will definitely come to catch up. In addition, Muromei City is good at domesticating demonic beasts, so it is also under a lot of pressure to hide yourself. If he fails to escape and is caught again, the treatment will definitely not be as good as it is now.

"Master, I'll give you a drink. A gentle female voice came from Ding Qin's side, "Thank you for saving my father-in-law." ”

This man was Eugene's wife. Appropriate talents, Yuri mentioned her when introducing the main participants.

Ding Qin raised his glass politely. Unexpectedly, she sat directly on Ding Qin's side and moved to Ding Qin's side, "Master, your method of detoxification is so wonderful, I don't know where you learned it?"

Ding Qin smiled. "I'm not a master, I just learned a little more. ”

"There are not many people who know the solution to the second spring reflecting the moon now. She smiled deliciously, "There are not many people as young as you who know so much." ”

Ding Qin vaguely felt that this person was a little strange, but he couldn't tell what the reason was. He also smiled, "It's not a secret that the antidote formula of Erquan Yingyue has been made public, so if you learn more, you will also know." ”

"That's right. The woman said, "That's why the Yang family didn't fall so quickly in the later period." It is precisely because of this that the people of the Yang family hate the people who know the antidote formula, and they can't wait to kill them all. ”

When she said this, Ding Qin suddenly felt that something was wrong. This woman seems to know very much about the affairs of the Yang family on the Five Poison Island.

He looked at the woman carefully, and found that there was a sudden hint of murder in her originally gentle eyes.

At this moment, a person outside the banquet ran over in a panic, "City, city lord! Qin Ke was stabbed to death in his house, I don't know when!"

The originally festive and harmonious banquet suddenly popped up with such news, which immediately ruined the atmosphere. Many people got up from their seats, and those who were clinking glasses also stopped.

This is Murome Castle. The place where Qin Ke lives is the hospitality area of Muromei City. In order to prevent bad people from visiting the guests, there are standing guards. Dying in such a place is a serious provocation to the security of Murome Castle.

"Is there a clue?" the city lord asked with a cloudy expression.

The person who reported the message said, "No! Although we have been investigating since we found it, we have not left any traces." ”

Yuri City Lord frowned, "This kind of thing happened in my room. Are you sure it's not suicide?"

"From the angle and depth of the piercing, it could not have been suicide. The messenger began to ask for the opinion of the lord of the city, "Look at ......"

The city lord thought for a moment and said, "Protect the scene." The banquet continued. ”

"Ah......h I don't know when a large piece of the clothes on her chest were torn off, "You stinky rascal, you actually want to insult me!"

The person she ridiculed was Ding Qin.

Ding Qin looked stunned. What does this woman mean?

But soon, he understood.

Either she is cooperating with her husband to find her own trouble, or she is the queen of the Yang family on the Five Poison Island. Because she just said that the Yang family hates people who know the formula. If she is a member of the Yang family, as long as she makes trouble for Ding Qin, it is tantamount to achieving her own goals.

In particular, when she saw that Eugene and Ding Qin had contradictions, she could have stirred up a battle between Eugene and Ding Qin, and she could have reaped the benefits.

Before Ding Qin could say anything, Eugene had already taken a few steps over, "Mu Ba! You actually did such a thing!"

The woman threw herself directly into Eugene's arms at this time, "Husband, you have to call the shots for me, woo woo woo ......"

Eugene's eyes were already on fire, "Kibachi, I have repeatedly put up with you, you actually used such a trick." I didn't expect you to be such a villain!"

Ding Qin took a deep breath and said, "Young Master, please make your case clear." I have not touched your lady in the slightest. ”

"What is not contact!" The woman wiped away her tears, "I came to toast you, and you actually took advantage of the chaos to insult me!

The anger in Ding Qin's heart also slowly rose. He clenched his fists slightly, "Madam, you are so vicious, I really didn't expect you. ”

Eugene scrambled to speak, "You should be the one who is vicious." As my wife said, only the wicked wear a mask. ”

Ding Qin smiled, "It's better to wear a mask than to pretend to be a good person." Also, may I ask Madame, but the surname is Yang?"

The woman was slightly stunned. But before she could speak, Eugene said, "It's surnamed Yang, what's wrong?

"Shut up!" Yuri's city lord was now furious, "You three, all stand aside for me!" The banquet is over, and all except for the city administrators, are disbanded. Administrators, to the council hall. And the three of you, including Kihachi. ”

Ding Qin sighed, and could only follow the group back into the hall.

Yuri City Lord walked up to Ding Qin and said, "Muba, you are kind to me, I can't take revenge for my kindness. However, Eugene has always been obsessed with your identity. Why don't you take off your mask and show the truth? I promise, even if you hurt Eugene at the time, I'll get you out of town safe tomorrow. Let the matter between you be settled as a personal vendetta. ”

With Yuri's promise, Ding Qin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Judging by Yuri's style of conduct, his words should count.

"That's right, that person was me that night. Ding Qin slowly took off his mask, revealing his true face. "In addition, my name is not Mu Ba, my name is Ding Qin. ”

"Sure enough, it's you!" Eugene shouted and rushed directly towards Ding Qin.
