Chapter 71: Judgment
Muyang finally understood the reason why the carriage outside the door had not left.
He glanced at Ye Yu speechlessly, and the latter spit out his little tongue in embarrassment, and a few grains of slag fell out of the corners of his lips.
For this careless county lord, Mu Yang really didn't know what to say, so he had to put his anger on Qi Hu.
"Is Lao Ge stupid by the demon army, how can she be allowed to deliver the letter, just send only ......" suddenly felt inappropriate, "Whoever is sent is better than her?
Qi Hu showed a helpless expression on his face, and when he went out, he secretly said to Muyang: "The city lord just didn't worry about her, so he sent his subordinates to follow her......"
......
After today's city battle, the identity of the son of Muyang True Demon was revealed, and since the moment he walked down the city tower, he has been waiting for this meeting in the evening.
A few days ago, in the secret room of the Xue Mansion, Mu Yang revealed his true identity to Ge Tianbing, and he still can't forget the shocked expression on the face of the lord of a city at that time.
Now that I think about it, it was the confession of that day that helped him resolve the crisis on the city tower, otherwise, it is difficult to say whether Ge Tianbing would have kicked him off the city tower directly under the horror.
After all, the identity of the Son of the True Demon is too terrifying, and even the best friends always need a process of adaptation when accepting unexpected surprises that they can't even imagine. Any reaction is normal until it is truly accepted.
Just like tonight's senate, it's about giving everyone a process of acceptance. As early as on the way back to the small courtyard, Ge Tianbing had reminded Mu Yang that now that the demon army was besieging the city, the soldiers in the city, and the young hunter cultivators who knew the cruelty and ferocity of the Blood Skull Legion might not care about his identity as the son of the true demon, but those big families and ordinary people who had some prestige inheritance were difficult to say, they would definitely go to the City Lord's Mansion to make trouble.
Even if he was prepared in his heart, Mu Yang didn't expect that there were so many carriages and horses parked in front of the City Lord's Mansion, as if all the carriages in the city had gathered here at once.
Mu Yang's carriage drove directly into the mansion, and through the window, he saw nearly 100 city citizens with umbrellas standing in the courtyard talking to each other, talking in a low voice, judging from their clothes, they didn't look like ordinary people.
The carriage slowly stopped at the arch in the front yard of the City Lord's Mansion, Mu Yang jumped out of the carriage, and Ye Yu Sisi followed closely and jumped down.
"Go in for a while, I won't let you speak, don't speak, do you hear?" said Ye Yu, who wanted to rush forward as soon as Muyang pulled his leg.
"Got it!" Ye Yu threw down his arm impatiently, and broke away the arm that was grabbed by Mu Yang, "You have said it eight hundred times, I don't say it, I don't say it, don't say anything, can't you? I'll pretend to be dumb tonight, are you satisfied?"
Muyang glanced at Ye Yu helplessly, and Qi Hu, who arrived on horseback one step earlier, greeted him.
"Who are the people out there?" asked Muyang.
"The servants and guards of every house are among them, and the masters are among them. Qi Hu pointed to the chamber in front of him and said.
"There are still a lot of people. Mu Yang sneered slightly. As he spoke, he walked towards the council chamber.
"It's a lot less. Qi Hu followed closely behind Mu Yang and said: "If you come half an hour early, the street is full of people, and you can't squeeze it, and the brothers have worked hard to coax them home, no, the heads of the big families in each neighborhood have stayed, which can be regarded as representing the will of the people." β
"Yes. Muyang was surprised: "They can go directly to the Nancheng courtyard to find me if they have something, why haven't I seen anyone?"
"They have to dare. Qi Hu's voice did not hide the disdain in his heart, and said: "You are the son of the true demon, you can scare them to death." β
Hearing this, Mu Yang stopped, turned his head to look at Qi Hu and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid of what?"
"My identity, I could see your hand trembling with the bow. β
Qi Hu scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "To be honest, I was really shocked when I heard you say those four words, but after seeing Boss Ge's face not changing and his calm and calm appearance, he was not afraid of anything, and the person recognized by the city lord was right." Don't say that you are the son of a true demon, even if you are a true demon, the city lord said that if you want to protect it, I dare to put my life into it! Not to mention, you also saved my life. In the end, Qi Hu tilted his neck and patted his chest hard.
Seeing Qi Hu's look of admiration when he mentioned Ge Tianbing, Mu Yang was silent, and after a long time, he patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "Ge Tianbing can have a brother like you, this life is worth it." I'm not as good as him. β
......
......
When Mu Yang walked into the city lord's meeting hall, it was already a mess, and more than a dozen heads of various families sitting on the seats on both sides were talking about each other, and the huge meeting hall was lively and noisy like a vegetable market.
Seeing Mu Yang enter the door, the whole hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes fell on him, the eyes of these people were surprised, angry, resentful, nervous, and more fearful.
Muyang stopped after crossing the threshold and looked to the side. On the sixteen chairs on the right, there are more than a dozen strong men, all of whom are the leaders of the hunting mercenaries in the city, and most of the sixteen chairs on the left are empty, only a few chairs in the back are sitting five men and one woman.
The woman is Feng Sanniang, the five men are all wearing gorgeous brocade robes, the youngest is in his forties, and the old one is in his sixties, four of these five people Mu Yang has seen, they are the Yan shopkeeper of the Huichun Hall, Xu Changqing, the head of the Xu family who specializes in the Warcraft fur business, Yu Hua, the owner of the auction house, and the largest horse dealer in the city, Jia Yansha, only the old man Mu Yang, who was thin and withered, with a wrinkled face and a yellow mustache sitting in the middle, was the first time he had seen it, but from Qi Hu's words before entering the house, he already knew that this person was Cao Qidou, the great elder of the Cao family, the largest grain merchant in Black Rock Cityγ
Yan, Xu, Yu, Cao, Yan, Feng and Du are the seven largest families in Black Rock City, the Senate is composed of representatives of these seven families, after the Du family was destroyed, the Xue family took its place, and now Xue Sanliang has also been destroyed, there are only six families left, if Muyang continues to stay in Black Rock City, it will not be long before he will have a place in the Senate. In the border areas and even on the entire continent, it is always strength that determines status.
Seeing the complicated eyes in the eyes of the people around him, Mu Yang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smiled habitually, and greeted: "There are really a lot of people, they are all waiting for me, right?"
This is a nonsense, it can be regarded as a joke, it can also be seen as a greeting when meeting people, if in normal times, someone in the house will definitely greet Muyang with a smile after hearing this sentence, but tonight, their reaction is a little sluggish, not only no one answered, but several people sitting on the chair on the left also showed deep anger on their faces, the old man of the Cao family with a yellow beard snorted coldly, and said in a sharp voice:" It is said that the son of the true demon is cruel and cold-blooded, I still don't believe it, but now I have finally seen that the demon army is besieging the city and so many people have died, and he can still laugh! You say, such a demon, if you don't arrest it and hand it over to the demon army, in exchange for the peace of the people in the city, what else is there to discuss!"
Mu Yang's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze fell on Cao Qidou's thin face, and just as he was about to speak, Ge Tianbing hurriedly stood up.
"Okay, okay, the patriarchs of the various families, the principals, all go back to their seats first, now Muyang is here, if you have anything to say, let's sit down and say slowly, Muyang, come, sit here." β
Muyang's seat had already been arranged, and when he heard Ge Tianbing's voice, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and walked straight to a few chairs beside Ge Tianbing with Sisi Ye Yu, and was just about to sit down, when the shrill voice sounded again.
"What qualifications does a hybrid of demons and demons have to sit down, Lord City, this is the Judgment Conference, not the Night Banquet of the City Lord's Mansion, don't you think it is more appropriate to let that demon cub kneel in front of the hall. β
