"Why do you think the Xiaoyao Sect came to assassinate me?"

It was already dawn, and the three of them returned to the city lord's mansion and let the soldiers who were guarding the town go back to rest.

"I don't know. Yun Tao frowned and said.

"It stands to reason that even if the Spirit Moon Sect wins the first place, the Xiaoyao Sect shouldn't do this.

If it fails, his reputation will be ruined.

It will be a problem to recruit disciples in the future, and they will not be able to do such stupid things. ”

As the son of an elder, Yun Tao would understand much more than Ye Qitian and Nangong Yi when looking at the issue of the sect.

In his opinion, the Xiaoyao Sect would not do such a thing that harmed others and was not beneficial to himself.

"Is it possible that the assassin deceived us?" Ye Qitian said as he sat on the side.

"This may also be there. Nangong Yi nodded.

"Maybe he wants us to resent the giant of the Xiaoyao Sect and indirectly avenge himself. Yun Tao also reacted and said.

An Assassin's word cannot be trusted.

Even when he was dying.

It can even be said that what he said when he was dying was the most implausible!

How could an assassin not hold a grudge against the man who killed him.

Out of revenge, it's normal to tell them fake news.

"But then the clue is broken. Ye Qitian said slowly.

"It can't be ruled out that what the assassins said must be false, let's think about it, if it's really the Xiaoyao Sect, then what is their purpose?"

Nangong Yi shook his head and said.

There is no way to tell if the Assassin's words are true or false, and the best thing to do is to think about both possibilities.

"Do you think there is such a possibility, Xiaoyao Sect came to assassinate the city lord, if it succeeded, maybe he would operate and replace the city lord with his own people?" Nangong Yi boldly guessed.

"It's a possibility. Yun Tao nodded.

"But it shouldn't do him any good.

After all, it's just a city that never sleeps.

Even if it is included in the command, it will not make a difference. ”

It's not to underestimate the city that never sleeps, it's just normal.

The city under the Youguo is really hardly oily and watery, and the major sects put their disciples here to be the city lords just to listen to the arrangements of the monarch of the Youguo.

The sect had never thought about getting any oil or water from these cities.

Not to mention the city that never sleeps, even if those cities are more powerful than the city that never sleeps, what if they belong to the Xiaoyao Sect?

"Then it seems that it's just the enemy I don't know when to offend to take revenge. After figuring it out, Nangong Yi could only think of this explanation.

"I guess so. ”

The road to cultivation is bumpy, and no one can say when they will have a grudge against others, and it can be said that it is natural for others to take revenge.

If it is explained in this way, the issue of assassinating Nangong Yi can also be explained clearly.

"Wait. I thought the dust had settled, but I didn't expect Ye Qitian, who was sitting there only drinking tea, to stop.

"What's wrong?" the two looked at Ye Qitian suspiciously.

"I always felt that something was wrong. Ye Qitian said with a frown.

I don't know why, he seems to have seen this kind of trick somewhere.

If he's not mistaken, this should be the practice of companies on Earth.

The enterprise is divided into various positions, and each position has a necessity to exist.

And the people at the top of the business manage it all.

“............”

Ye Qitian doesn't have any other abilities, but he still has some ability to look at people, otherwise he would not be able to start a company.

And in his career as a boss, it was not all smooth sailing.

There will always be people who jump out to make trouble, and although they are all beaten back by him in the end, he still sees some methods from it.

The method of one of them seems to be no different from the current assassination of the city lord.

It's just a matter of killing people and not killing people.

"I think I get it. Recalling the methods of those people on the earth, Ye Qitian said slowly.

"The Xiaoyao Sect may have a big picture. ”

"Why?" the two asked in unison.

"If you think about it, it might not be a big deal for the city lord to be replaced by their people.

After all, just one doesn't make a difference.

But how many more?"

"A few more, a few more, the city lord has no benefit from this thing. Yun Tao said truthfully.

"It's not about benefits, have you ever thought that he has other uses?" Ye Qitian said with a slight smile.

"Other benefits?" Nangong Yi thought for a moment, and then denied it.

"No, this city lord looks beautiful, but it's actually a big deal, and there are a lot of things to deal with every day.

Overall, it's a thankless job. ”

Nangong Yi said this is not bad, the position of the city lord is not as idle as outsiders imagine.

There are so many things to deal with every day that they can drive people crazy.

On the one hand, the only spirit stone money that can be fished is also spent because it is often necessary to train soldiers and repair the city walls that have been attacked by spirit beasts.

There are very few left.

"You're thinking in the wrong direction. ”

"One city lord can't play a role, but what about many city lords?"

"Catch a little more spirit stones?" Yun Tao quipped.

But without thinking about it, Nangong Yi's voice suddenly became serious and said, "What do you mean?"

Maybe because of the agitation, he slapped the table hard.

"What if nine-tenths of the cities under the Youguo are all towards the Xiaoyao Sect?"

Seeing Nangong Yi's serious expression, Ye Qitian smiled slowly.

"That Xiaoyao Sect must be powerful!" Yun Tao interjected from the side.

"What the hell do you mean?" Nangong Yi also guessed some answers in his heart, but he still couldn't believe it.

"Will the Xiaoyao Sect brainwash people and let them all join the Xiaoyao Sect?

In that case, our Lingyue Sect will face the situation of not being able to recruit disciples. ”

Thinking about it, Yun Tao suddenly felt that if it was really like what the two of them said, it would be a great crisis for the Spirit Moon Sect!

But who knew that Ye Qitian actually denied this statement.

Instead, he came up with an idea that made his heart beat even more.

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be a prince in Youguo, right?"

"You're talking about the son of the last monarch? ”

"So what if that prince doesn't want to be a prince, but wants to be a monarch?

He should need a lot of support in this way, after all, the current monarch is not dead. ”

"Then he needs to find a companion who can pull him into the water, and rely on their strength to support him to become a monarch!" Nangong Yi gasped and said in disbelief.

Saying this, Yun Tao also reacted.

"As the first sect, even if the game is lost this time, the background is still there.

If the prince is allowed to choose, the meaningless Xiaoyao Sect will bear the brunt. ”

"The prince needs support in order to pull down the current monarch and sit on it himself, and there must be a lot of forces to support him.

Otherwise, if he ends up with a bad name, it will be difficult for people in the country to believe him.

Especially those of us who are city lords. ”

The system of the ghost country is different from other countries.

The monarch reigned supreme, distributed his territory and power, and elected the lord of the city.

In general, the state proceeds according to this process, so the lord of the castle as a subordinate will be loyal to the monarch.

The same is true of Youguo, but one thing is different is that the city lord of Youguo is not loyal to the person who sits on the throne of the monarch.

Rather, it canonizes its own monarch.

And coincidentally, seven or eight out of ten city lords under Youguo are all canonized by the current monarch.

The rest are basically those who have not died or are still re-elected after the canonization of the previous monarch.

If that prince really wants to sit in the position of the monarch of the hidden kingdom, then what he must do is to replace the current city lords.

Otherwise, few people would recognize his location.

If Nangong Yi is not mistaken, the backer behind Xiaoyao Sect should be that prince.

For a moment, the three of them were a little silent, and they found that they seemed to know something terrible.

"Oh, how is this kind of thing possible, how can the prince want to be a monarch!

You know, the current monarch is the prince's own sister!" Yun Tao said with a smile on his face when he saw this.

No one will remain indifferent after hearing such news, after all, this is a major matter about their own country, and it is also about the safety of their loved ones.

Even if Yun Tao didn't believe that the prince would rebel, he couldn't help but be a little flustered in his heart.

"I hope so. Ye Qitian sneered.

Although he didn't know what the relationship between the monarch and her brother was, Ye Qitian had heard a word.

Ruthless is the most emperor's family.

"Okay, that's all for now, don't think too much about being careful.

And you guys finally came here, don't get in a bad mood. ”

Nangong Yi stopped the two who wanted to speak.

"Just stay here for a few days and have a good rest and fun.

Don't look at the city that never sleeps, but the sparrows are small and swollen, you can find everything you need here. ”

Nangong Yi took out two tokens from the storage ring and handed them to the two of them.

"This is a token that symbolizes my status, and it costs you nothing to buy anything in the city that never sleeps.

Of course, you also have to save some face for me, so that you don't take anything when you see it. ”

In the end, Nangong Yi didn't forget to tell the two of them a few words.

After all, his token is not free in the true sense of the word, but it is just equivalent to bookkeeping.

When the time comes, people come to find themselves, but they can't take out the spirit stone to pay, it will be embarrassing.

But Nangong Yi didn't expect that both of them rejected his token.

"Senior brother, you can take this thing back, this time I came out just so that Brother Ye arrived in the city that never sleeps safely, and now I will go back quickly after completing the task." ”

Yun Tao gently put the token that was forced into himself on the table and said with a smile.

"Don't look at me, I'll be leaving soon. ”

Ye Qitian is not a person who can be idle, if he keeps staying in the city that never sleeps, it is estimated that he will go crazy.

"Brother Ye, can't you wait for me to leave before saying this, you embarrass me a little like this!"

Hearing Ye Qitian's words, Yun Tao could only smile helplessly.

He knew that Ye Qitian's character would never stay in the city that never sleeps.

Now it seems that I was right.

"Anyway, I'm leaving, it's the same if I talk about it early or late!"

"Uh............ That's the reason. ”
