"Lord of the city, in the battle last night, a total of more than 100 enemy soldiers were captured, and I also asked the city lord to send it down. ”

After a salute, he sat down relatively steadily, and a general bowed down immediately to ask for credit.

"Hmph!" Ding Zhuqiang sneered, then asked with a deliberate smile: "How else can it be released?" Is it necessary to torture these more than 100 captives to extract confessions from any accomplices?"

"Ahh......h

The general who bowed down in the hall was only sincerely frightened for a moment, but he didn't know how to answer.

In the afterglow of Ding Zhuqiang's deliberate glance, he only saw the head of the Jin family and the salt boss of the Yanjing Gang, with a strange expression, a thief's heart, and sweat trickling down his forehead......

"That's the same!" Miao Changnian, who was in the first seat, slapped his thigh and said suddenly: "Hurry up and force those prisoners to confess, and ask them which accomplices they are?"

"Yes. ”

This middle-aged warrior immediately received the order and left.

"Ahh

The faces of the head of the Jin family and the salt boss changed greatly, and they couldn't help but exclaim, and they were so ashamed and frightened that they were embarrassed for a while, and their faces were colorless......

"Wait. ”

Ding Zhuqiang looked at himself and suddenly greeted him casually.

"May I ask what else the lord of the castle commands?"

The warrior turned around respectfully, not forgetting to bow down.

"That's it. Ding Zhuqiang waved his hand and said: "Give each of the more than 100 captives a Yan coin as a road fee, and let them go home!"

"Ahh......h

Not only was Zhan shocked by this, but even everyone present looked at each other in confusion. Especially the frightened and terrified Jin family head and the salt boss, who were even more relieved and speechless......

"What are you doing here?" Miao Changnian Huo Ran got up and asked: "It's okay if you don't force a confession, not only don't kill them, but also release them, and give them money, what are you going to do?"

"Brother Changnian, don't be angry, the city lord has his own arrangements, and it is not necessarily. ”

Seeing this, Miao Derong, who was sitting at the bottom, had to get up and persuade him, and played a round game.

"Hehe......" Ding Zhuqiang laughed coldly: "What else can I do? If these more than 100 captives are tortured into tricks and indiscriminately wronged the loyal and brave men in my Eight Desolate Cities, then I would rather believe what these enemies say than believe the people in my own city." ”

The head of the Jin family immediately couldn't stop praising this: "The city lord is right, it's absolutely right, the city lord is worthy of being the first city lord of my Eight Desolate City for thousands of years, it can really be described as a wise and martial artist, wise and brave!"

"Lao Jin is right. Boss Yan also followed closely with a song and flattery: "Lord of the City, you have to know clearly! Most of my Eight Desolate Cities are loyal and brave people, and they will never be betrayed by the enemy." Don't let those captives believe you!"

"Hehe...... Ding Zhuqiang naturally knew it, and he didn't say anything about it, so he just stopped and said: "Go! Let those captured soldiers go!"

"Yes. ”

But the generals took the order and left.

"Hmph!" Miao Changnian still seemed to be unwilling, and asked angrily, "Then do you even want to let the Aoxing City Lord and the others go together?"

Ding Zhuqiang didn't answer, but seeing the puzzled expressions of everyone present, he turned to get up and came to the veiled and black-clothed Qing Ling and asked, "Have you closed it all?"

"Ahh ”

"That's good. Ding Zhuqiang nodded with satisfaction, and then looked around at everyone present and smiled: "I should have held a celebration banquet, but He Nai's city lord is too busy with affairs, and in a hurry, it is better to ask the Jin family master to hold it on his behalf tonight!"

"Ah!" In the exclamation of the Jin family head, he hurriedly got up and said with a happy smile: "Thank you for the high esteem of the city lord, well, today's dinner, you must invite the city lord and everyone here to come." ”

"Definitely, definitely. ”

Everyone in the audience got up one after another to agree, smiling and answering.

"Dongli pharmacist, the master of the hundred merchants. Ding Zhuqiang did not forget to thank him and invited: "Then at tonight's celebration banquet, the city lord will thank the two of them for their merits." ”

"The lord of the city is polite, this is as it should be, as it should be. ”

The pharmacist of Dongli and the owner of the hundred merchants immediately got up, and their faces were pleasant.

In the eyes of the salt boss and the head of the Jin family, this taste of being a villain is not very comfortable in my heart......

Ding Zhuqiang nodded with a smile, and turned to Qing Lingyan and said, "Let's go! ”

"Yes. ”

Qing Lingfang's heart was confused, and she nodded hurriedly and took the lead.

Ding Zhuqiang didn't pay attention to it, he just wanted to finish the matter at hand as soon as possible within three days, so that he could go to the Demon Realm with the closed moon to find out......

Accompanied by a few personal guards, Ding Zhuqiang was so neat and neat, and went with Qing Ling and the three Feiling family spies.

Everyone in the hall chatted for a while, and they all parted with each other one after another.

Out of the mansion, under the bright sun at noon, Ding Zhuqiang saw this quaint city, and only felt a tide of emotion for a while, touched the scene, and thought of his hometown.

Along the way, Qing Ling has always lowered his eyes, leading the way alone, and sometimes he will inadvertently look back, his face full of thoughts, this young city lord with a unique braid hairstyle, it is difficult to guess what he is worried about?

Ding Zhuqiang looked at the flowers and flowers, looked left and right, and suddenly asked: "Do you know how many city lords have gone through these eight desolate cities?"

"Ah!" Qing Ling couldn't help but be surprised, and replied after a little thought: "Back to the city lord, as far as I know, these eight desolate cities have gone through no more than eight city lords, and you are the ninth city lord plus the city lord." ”

"Oh?" Ding Zhuqiang was slightly startled, and secretly thought to himself: "In this way, if every city lord has been in power for more than ten years, wouldn't this Eight Desolate City have a history of a hundred years?"

Qing Ling saw that Ding Zhuqiang was silent, and then said: "I heard the residents of the Eight Desolations City say that the city lord is the best city lord in the history of the Eight Desolation City, and the days are getting better and better. ”

"Hehe......" It is true that the so-called, thousands of clothes are worn, and sycophants are not worn, Ding Zhuqiang can't help but be the same, and he can't help but smile happily: "Where and where? I'm just doing my duty." ”

Qing Ling even raised his eyes and looked straight at him: "The city lord is too humble, just by repelling the combined attacks of the three cities of the human realm, it is enough to be famous in the human world." ”

But as soon as he saw this pair of watery and smart eyes, Ding Zhuqiang's heart fluttered, if it weren't for the shocking disfigured face under her veil that he already knew, he had to sigh: "It's just a false name, why worry about it." ”

"How can this be!" Qing Ling said, "City Lord, you are so wise and powerful at a young age, even my father often praises you!"

"Huh...... Is it the head of the Feiling family, he ......"

Ding Zhuqiang only shook his head with a smile, and didn't pay much attention When Qingling finished saying this, inadvertently, he was shy and timid, and lowered his eyes......

"Oh, the lord of the city is fortunate to be here, it's really a disappointment, please ......."

The head of the Feiling family was the first to hear the news, and at this moment, he had already set up a formation outside the mansion to greet him.

"The head of the Feiling family is polite, polite. ”

Ding Zhuqiang replied in a row and stepped forward.

The head of the Feiling family greeted him with a smile and made an invitation: "A wine feast has been prepared, and the city lord is invited to the banquet." ”

"Then you're welcome. ”

Ding Zhuqiang subconsciously touched his belly, and then saw that it was noon on this day, and it was indeed time for lunch.

As if it was difficult to resist the hospitality, Ding Zhuqiang also entered the Feiling family mansion with the head of the Feiling family, as well as the entourage of Qingling and other guards, talking and laughing, greeting and politely.

"Daddy, then the daughter will go and change her clothes first. As soon as he entered the mansion, before entering the hall, Qing Ling suddenly spoke, and did not forget to bow down to Ding Zhuqiang Yingying: "The city lord is less accompanied." ”

"Hmm. You are welcome. ”

Ding Zhuqiang smiled humbly and watched Qingling drift away.

"Hehe......" The head of the Feiling family turned to smile and said: "This girl's family is in trouble, the city lord doesn't have to care, I invite the warm pavilion to the banquet." ”

"Good. ”

Ding Zhuqiang only nodded, and he was already vaguely aware of it, so he smiled and went with him.

This Feiling family mansion is also wide, and the courtyard houses are scattered and chic, without losing the quiet and elegant feeling......

After walking through several gardens and walking through a few corridors, the head of the Feiling family politely took Ding Zhuqiang to the outside of an elegant courtyard.

The head of the Feiling family was like a guest, and invited with a smile: "Please please." ”

"You're welcome. ”

Ding Zhuqiang glanced at this quiet and elegant garden, but it can also be called the fragrance of birds and flowers, the scenery is pleasant, and it is not interesting.

"Yes, please take a seat. ”

When I entered the private room, I saw that a large table had already been renovated in the room, and a table towel with bright colors embroidered with big red flowers was laid out. Looking around the room again, the decoration is colorful, like a festive atmosphere......

"Serve!"

After the two sat down opposite each other, the head of the Feiling family gave an order to the subordinates who were serving.

"Yes. ”

After a while, the fruit snacks were the first to be served, followed by a table full of wine and food.

Ding Zhuqiang looked at the dishes on this table, his thoughts were surging, and he was stunned for a while.

The head of the Feiling family smiled and invited: "The city lord doesn't have to wait for the little girl, let's eat with chopsticks first!"

"Good. ”

Ding Zhuqiang must have come back to his senses, he seemed to be really hungry, and he was not polite, so he raised his chopsticks and ate.

"Come, I will first give the city lord a drink. ”

After the five flavors of the dish were over, the head of the Feiling family raised a toast.

"That's embarrassing. Please. ”

Ding Zhuqiang put down the chopsticks, raised a glass, and drank it all.

Seeing this, the head of the Feiling family couldn't help but praise: "The city lord has a good amount of alcohol, admire and admire." ”

"Hehe......"

Ding Zhuqiang only smiled, and after a glass of wine, the conversation valve was opened, and he chatted with him......
