Chapter 201 Invitation
Su Xi and Ouyang Chuge didn't wait long at the door now, and soon a servant came out and instructed them, "The city lord is invited, you two come in with me."
Su Xi nodded with a smile in the face of the servant's sneer, then took Ouyang Chuge's hand and walked into the room together.
Ouyang Chuge felt Su Xi's touch, but he was stunned, and he didn't refuse Su Xi's touch. Follow her obediently and walk into the room together.
The room is large and luxuriously furnished, and there is a huge incense burner in the center of the room, and green smoke is slowly rising from it. When you smell it carefully, it has an epiphany-like fragrance.
Zhou Yongming was sitting on the main seat at this time, not far from him, Ma Shan stood beside him with his head drooping, not daring to speak, his face was full of grievances.
On his face, it was all red and swollen, and there was a trace of residual blood at the corner of his mouth, obviously he had just been beaten, and he was beaten not lightly.
He saw Su Xi and Ouyang Brother Chu walking in, with a look of grievance, but he didn't dare to speak at all.
Zhou Yongming saw Su Xi and Ouyang Chuge walking in, slapped the table heavily, and said coldly, "The two of you did such a thing, could it be that you are deliberately making trouble for me?"
If you kill an inspector in public, then the trouble you will encounter next is not small. If this news leaks out, the people of the overseer will bite them like maggots on the tarsal bones.
After all, those people in the court must not see their own people die. Even if it is an insignificant person, they will make it as important as a dead emperor.
After all, only by doing so can they show their importance and not let people care about him.
Su Xi was not nervous in the face of Zhou Yongming's questioning, but smiled, and said slowly, "City Lord, don't talk about this now. If you really thought we were damned, you wouldn't have brought us here."
Zhou Yongming suddenly laughed when he heard Su Xi's words.
Sure enough, talking to smart people is different, and it saves a lot of trouble. However, he also adheres to a saying, people who are too smart do not live long.
Died young, that's the kind of person I'm talking about.
Su Xi heard what Zhou Yongming meant, but he was not nervous at all. Since she dared to swagger here, of course, she was also very confident in her heart and knew that there would be no problems.
"City Lord, I know you must be curious about one thing right now. Why are the overseers here?" Su Xi didn't say too much, but directly threw out the question that Zhou Yongming wanted to know the most.
She knew that with this sentence, then Zhou Yongming would definitely take the bait.
Sure enough, hearing Su Xi's words, Zhou Yongming instantly showed an interested expression, wanting to know why he said this.
However, he didn't speak, but looked at Su Xi quietly.
The meaning is obvious.
has been in the top position for a long time, so that he no longer likes to express his inner thoughts casually.
If Su Xi hadn't said what he wanted to know, then she wouldn't have let Su Xi leave alive.
Su Xi didn't let Zhou Yongming wait, but began with a tissue and said, "Because according to the grapevine, those people from the Supervision Envoy are already ready to do something to you."
「???」
Su Xi's words instantly attracted everyone's attention, and everyone looked at her.
Brother Ouyang Chu looked at Su Xi with a shocked expression, how did this person come here with his mouth open?
Su Xi's words made Zhou Yongming no longer hold back the curiosity in his heart, and asked, "How do you know?"
He was a man in the court, but he didn't hear anything about it. Su Xi is just a person who doesn't even have access to Guan Wen, and he dares to say these things here.
Is it really foolish that he is a fool?
Su Xi was questioned by Zhou Yongming, but he didn't panic, and still said lightly: "What you think is not the truth of the matter. There are some things that are not just seen on the surface."
The truth of the real thing is definitely not what they say with their mouths. What you can't see is often the truth.
When Zhou Yongming heard Su Xi's words, he thought of what had happened recently, and he also noticed that something was abnormal.
Indeed, what happened in front of me was too weird.
But since Zhou Yongming has been a city lord for so long, of course it is impossible to casually listen to what others say. Faced with Su Xi's words, he opened his mouth and asked, "What evidence do you have for saying this?"
There is no evidence, and everything else is just empty talk.
Su Xi shook his head when he heard Zhou Yongming's inquiry, and asked very decisively, "I have no evidence, and I can't prove it."
"No evidence?" Zhou Yongming's tone became stern, and he scolded: "There is no evidence, but you are talking nonsense here, dare to entertain me here?"
After speaking, Zhou Yongming prepared to find someone to take away Su Xi, who had deceived him, and send him to the cave room.
But the next moment, Su Xi's mouth suddenly opened his mouth and said, "You should know Tian Yuan."
When Zhou Yongming heard Su Xi's words, a stiff look appeared on his face in an instant, and he looked at Su Xi in disbelief, "What did you say?"
"This matter is obviously someone doing something to you in Tianyuan, then you will know about it next." Su Xi smiled on her face, revealing an unfathomable expression, making it impossible to figure out what she was thinking.
Hearing Su Xi's words, Zhou Yongming no longer dared to be sloppy, but was full of solemnity.
Tian Yuan is not just a name. At the same time, it is also the name of their alliance, so that after something goes wrong, they can have the opportunity to advance and retreat together.
After all, their reputation as city lords is not all obtained by strength, but also by hereditary system. Many of the new nobles were already dissatisfied with this matter, so they had been secretly weakening their power.
In order to protect themselves, they can only passively join forces, wanting to stop the interference of the upstarts, Tian Yuan is the code name they just came up with, and it has not yet been released.
But not only did their code name know so quickly, but these people had already done it.
The various circumstances in front of us have fully demonstrated that all this is true.
Su Xi didn't lie, but someone was really dealing with them. Her information is not nonsense, and it is naturally very deterrent to say it.
After understanding that Su Xi was not lying, he was suddenly shocked in his heart, and looked at Su Xi no longer as ordinary as before, but asked very respectfully, "Fairy, what should I do next?"
From the change in title, it has fully explained the change in Zhou Yongming's mentality. The degree of attention to Su Xi is not as casual as before.
Su Xi heard Zhou Yongming's inquiry, touched his nose with a smile, and said, "You should know that these people will definitely not give up, so the only solution is to cut through the mess quickly."
"Cutting through the mess with a quick knife?" Zhou Yongming muttered and asked suspiciously, "Fairy, can you make it clearer?"
Now that Su Xi said something, he already had a certain guess in his heart, but he wasn't sure if it was what he thought. It is only possible to get an affirmative answer.
Su Xi looked at Zhou Yongming and smiled, "You already have an idea in your heart, why do you bother to ask me?"
When Zhou Yongming heard Su Xi's words, he smiled on his face, and instantly felt a little more relaxed.
With Su Xi's statement, then he felt more at ease and knew that what he was thinking was not wrong.
After Su Xi arranged Zhou Yongming's affairs, he looked at the door, "Now that your matter is settled, then?"
Su Xi's words were not finished yet, but Zhou Yongming quickly reacted. Only the exchange of interests can maintain the stability of the relationship. So he patted his chest and swore a promise, "Don't worry, I will deal with this matter naturally."
After Zhou Yongming made a guarantee, he looked at Ma Shan next to him and ordered, "You immediately take the fairies to the practical teleportation array now
。」
"Oh." Ma Shan covered his face and nodded aggrievedly.
Originally, because Su Xi hurt himself, he still wanted to find a chance to take revenge. But now that Zhou Yongming values Su Xi so much, he doesn't dare to have any thoughts of revenge.
Since Su Xi and the others are not bad people, why did their brother-in-law beat him up just now, and he beat him so badly.
Although he had a lot of grievances in his heart, Ma Shan didn't dare to speak now, so he could only honestly take Su Xi and Ouyang Chu and leave.
Ma Shan took Su Xi to the place where the teleportation array was, but he couldn't help the grievances in his heart, and said, "Fairy, why didn't you show up earlier."
If Su Xi had been able to show up earlier, then he wouldn't have been beaten like this. With such a swollen face, I don't know when the swelling will go down.
Su Xi heard Ma Shan's complaint and smiled, "Didn't you ask me in advance?"
When Ma Shan heard Su Xi's words, although he wanted to speak very much, he didn't know what to say.
Now for him, it is better to keep Chen Mo at this time.
When I walked to the place of the teleportation array, I was surrounded by a large number of people.
Among them, there are many people who have already reached the Yuan Infant Stage in their cultivation.
When these people saw Su Xi and the others coming over, they immediately said solemnly, "Stop, the teleportation array is heavy, and those who approach will die!"
Ma Shan was reprimanded and did not dare to refute. These people in front of him can casually beat him into scum, so although he has a noble status, he does not dare to act rashly.
Otherwise, if he does it, then he will suffer.
Ma Shan fumbled around his body for a while, then took out a token and handed it over, "This is the token of the city lord."
The old man who was guarding took the token and looked at it carefully, then nodded and waved his hand to put the group away from their guard.
"Let's go up."
The old man looked at Su Xi and urged.
Ma Shan got the old man's permission and looked at Su Xi, "Fairy, you guys go first."
Su Xi nodded when he heard Ma Shan's words, "Since you are in such a hurry, let's go with us first."
「???」
Ma Shan looked at Su Xi with a puzzled expression, why did he want to leave.
He was just about to open his mouth to refute, when he suddenly felt his body light, and then his body flew to the teleportation array like a broken kite.
Because Su Xi's movements were too sudden, no one thought of it.
The old man didn't expect Su Xi to do this at all, and by the time he reacted, Ma Shan was already standing on the teleportation array.
Just as Ma Shan wanted to walk down from the teleportation array, he suddenly found that his body had gradually separated. In just a moment's time, it turned into powder and scattered on the ground.
The old man looked at Su Xi's reaction and knew that his disguise had been discovered, so he was not pretending at this time.
He let out a loud roar from his mouth, raised his hands upward, and then a burst of white light appeared around him. In the white light, there is a strong sense of oppression.
Being in the white light, Su Xi felt that he couldn't open his eyes at all, and at the same time, his body seemed to be immobilized, and it was extremely difficult to move even the slightest.
