Chapter 66: So It Was So
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing was so vigilant, Odoff had no choice but to tell everything he knew.
By the time Odoff finished speaking, Zhu Zhuqing slowly understood that this was the soul master raised by the Xiao family, who competed for the city lord of Soto City.
"Since my father was poisoned, the Xiao family is even more imperative to the position of the city lord, over the years he has placed more and more cronies in the city guards, if it weren't for the city guards and most of the nobles in Soto City still support my father, I am afraid that my father's position as the city lord would have been the Xiao family."
Zhu Zhuqing can be regarded as having figured out one thing, but there is a more important doubt in his heart.
It seems that wherever there are people, there will be fights, especially for power, and there will be no end.
It's just that Zhu Zhuqing never thought that he would have come here to avoid a power struggle. But he never thought that he would fall into another power struggle, Zhu Zhuqing smiled bitterly in his heart, he really knew how to find something to do for himself.
"Young City Lord......"
Odoff immediately interrupted Zhu Zhuqing's words: "Miss Qingzhu doesn't need to be called that, just call me Dof." β
Zhu Zhuqing still couldn't open this mouth, but he did change his name. is a little too close to the title of Dove, but Zhu Zhuqing is unwilling.
"Ao Gongzi, I have heard you talk so much. But I have a question in my heart, I don't know whether to say it or not? β
Odoff made a gesture of please, and Zhu Zhuqing was not polite, and raised the biggest question in his heart.
"I wonder why the Xiao family noticed me?"
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't figure it out, he had come to Soto City to wear a mask a few times, and he didn't offend the Xiao family, why did they attack him.
He even did not hesitate to send the Soul King to deal with him, so the Xiao family seemed to know something about himself.
Listening to the meaning of arresting a few of them, the Xiao family seems to be willing to use any means to bring themselves back to the Xiao family as long as they are alive.
Zhu Zhuqing noticed that Odoff had a dodging look in his eyes when he heard her ask this question, and subconsciously avoided Zhu Zhuqing's gaze.
Zhu Zhuqing had some judgments in his heart, so he said again: "Do you know something?" Don't? β
Odoff sighed helplessly, got up and walked to the door, as if he had made a big decision. Turning around, he said slightly apologetically, "Miss Qingzhu, I apologize to you here. β
Zhu Zhuqing can be said to be a little blindsided, frowning slightly, but did not speak, waiting for Odoff's explanation.
Odoff told him what happened in the City Lord's Mansion a few days ago, and listening to it, Zhu Zhuqing also had a general understanding in his heart.
If these two things are related, then the city lord's mansion is afraid that there is the Xiao family's eyeliner, and Zhu Zhuqing can also be regarded as understanding why the Xiao family would take action against him.
Odoff hung apologetic on his face, and he didn't even dare to look at Zhu Zhuqing.
"It is the responsibility of our City Lord's Mansion to let Miss Qingzhu suffer an unwarranted disaster, and we really didn't expect the Xiao family to be so bold to target you. I'm really sorry! β
Odoff sincerely apologized, and the corners of Zhu Zhuqing's mouth grinned slightly.
"I understand, but I'm afraid that only a few people know about my visit to the City Lord's Mansion. You should have looked it up, right? β
Zhu Zhuqing asked tentatively, and when Odoff heard Zhu Zhuqing mention this, his face instantly became extremely ugly.
didn't say a word, just nodded slightly, Zhu Zhuqing was not interested in who it was, she believed that Os, as the city lord, did not rely on goodness, and could not do this position without iron and blood.
The two reached a very tacit agreement, one did not ask, the other did not say.
"That's fine, I should go too."
Zhu Zhuqing got up and was about to leave, but Odoff asked worriedly: "You are in good health, let's rest for a few more days, not to mention that they will not give up, they don't dare to mess around if they live here." β
What Odoff said is also true, but it is only partial, even the family that the city lord dares to tempt, will they really be afraid that they will hide in the city lord's mansion?
Regarding Odoff's kindness, Zhu Zhuqing politely refused.
Zhu Zhuqing believed in himself even more, since they had failed once, especially if they had not succeeded in using the Soul King, they would be extremely careful when making their next plans.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I still have something to do. If they dare to attack me, then they will have to bear my wrath. β
Odoff naturally saw the cold chill in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, and even made him tremble.
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing had made up his mind, Odoff did not force him to stay, but just took out the gift that Oss had prepared for Zhu Zhuqing.
After repeated refusals, Zhu Zhuqing accepted it, and Odoff personally sent Zhu Zhuqing out of the City Lord's Mansion, but this time through the back door.
"The doctor is gone?"
As soon as Odoff walked back through the back door, he saw Oss in the cloister. Hearing Oss's words, Odoff nodded a little disappointed.
"This girl has a stubborn personality, but the old man likes such a girl very much. Ordered to go down, the patrol team will pay more attention to the situation around the fighting arena in the future, and report anything immediately. β
"Yes, Father!"
Looking at Odoff's lonely expression, Oss patted Odoff on the shoulder and sighed.
"Child, it's not as simple as you seem. Since I first met her, my father felt that she was not an ordinary person, and we could only make friends with such people, and we should not have other ideas. β
"Fatherβ"
Before Odorf could say anything, Oss waved his hand to stop him from continuing.
"Your mind father knows, but you are not all the way, trust my judgment."
Odov's eyes were full of disappointment, and he looked up at the sky before he spoke, "Father, I know. One more thing. β
"What's the matter?"
"Before leaving, Miss Qingzhu made a suggestion."
Odoff approached Oss and underestimated something in his ear, and Oss's eyes widened the more he listened.
"Did she really say that?"
Odoff nodded, which was an affirmative answer, and Oss exclaimed, and his face was full of smiles, which was a kind of relief.
After searching for several days without a trace, everyone in Shrek prepared for the worst.
The moment Zhu Zhuqing pushed open the door, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu seemed to see something that they shouldn't see.
Standing stunned, Zhu Zhuqing entered the house, closed the door gently, and saw that the two had not come back to their senses.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at the two curiously.
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong really felt the sound of Zhu Zhuqing's breathing, and the two of them were so excited that they took Zhu Zhuqing's hand.
Ning Rongrong asked with great concern: "Zhuqing, where have you been these days?" You've killed us. β
Xiao Wu echoed on the side: "Yes, don't you know, we searched all the streets and alleys of Soto City, but we didn't find any trace of you. At one point, we thought it was ......"
Ning Rongrong winked at Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu realized that it was a bad thing to say, and immediately rushed to the ground with a "bah" three times.
"I'm sorry to worry you." Zhu Zhuqing felt guilty, especially when he saw the panda eyes of the two, he also knew that they must not have slept well in the past few days.
