Bang, bangbang! A long and two short knocks on the door.

Murong Bin didn't go in immediately after knocking on the door, but waited a few seconds to make sure that Murong Jingyi in the study didn't answer, and then pushed open the door and walked in.

The only room in the huge Murong Mansion with poor lighting effect should be Murong Jingyi's study, if there is a house designer in Lingzhou, they will definitely design this room as a warehouse.

After Murong Bin walked into the house, he immediately turned around and closed the door, and observed the situation outside the door again as he closed the door.

Inside the room, it was as dark as ever, the tables and chairs were placed as usual, and Murong Jingyi was as usual sitting behind the desk.

"All sent away?" In just four words, I couldn't hear whether Murong Jingyi's mood at the moment was good or bad.

"Yes! All the sects left Shangwu City. Murong Yan had already led people outside the city to monitor their movements. Murong Bin bowed his head and replied.

"What about those sects that can't leave on their own?" Unlike the sentence just now, this time you can clearly feel the coldness in Murong Jingyi's words.

The corners of Murong Bin's mouth raised, and he said with an evil smile, "On the orders of the city lord, those with corpses have been put into coffins and sent back to the various sects, and the Xingluo Gate, where there are no bones, has also sent people to Qingliu Town, where their sect is located, to inform them of what happened in Shangwu City." ”

"Well, well done. ”

"Xie City Lord praised. ”

Murong Jingyi stood up from behind the desk, walked slowly in front of Murong Bin, and just looked at him without saying a word.

Since Murong Bin lowered his head at this moment, he couldn't see the expression on Murong Jingyi's face, and he was very nervous in his heart.

After a long time, the silence broke.

"Zishan, how long have you been waiting for Murong Mansion?"

Zishan is Murong Bin's young name, and when he heard Murong Jingyi suddenly call himself by this name, he didn't understand what he meant for a while, so he had to reply, "I was in Murong Mansion when I was born, and I have been working for the family with my father since I was a child, and it has been more than 50 years. ”

"Time flies so fast, I think I hugged you when you were born. Murong Jingyi smiled, "In a blink of an eye, you have been working for the mansion for fifty years, and you have worked hard all these years." ”

Murong Bin hurriedly took off his clothes and wanted to worship, and said respectfully, "The city lord has tormented the villain, since my grandfather's generation, he has been serving the Murong family, we are born to be members of the Murong family, and we are dead to be the ghosts of the Murong family." ”

Murong Jingyi held Murong Bin, who wanted to bow down, with one hand, and said, "Zishan, this unnecessary courtesy in private is saved, and I have never treated you as an outsider in my heart." ”

"Thank you, city lord love!"

The foreshadowing words are almost over, and Murong Jingyi is ready to get to the point.

"In a few days, I will announce to the public that I will be in retreat for several years because of the damage to the Qi Sea, and during this time, I will appoint you as the acting city lord of Shangwu City, responsible for all things in the city and in Murong Mansion. ”

Murong Bin was shocked, and hurriedly said, "This!

"Why not, you have followed me for many years, you are my confidant, and you know my way of doing things best, and only by leaving everything to you can I rest assured. ”

"Murong Yan, she ......"

"She is a woman after all, and she can't control the situation. What's more, you're the one I trust the most. ”

Murong Bin raised his head and looked at Murong Jingyi, whose face was like a loving father, his eyes gradually moistened, and he lowered his head again, and said gratefully, "Thank you for the trust of the city lord, my subordinates will definitely live up to the trust of the city lord!"

"I'm sure you will. ”

When the words fell, a cold light flashed in Murong Jingyi's eyes, and he returned to normal in an instant.

————————————————————————————————————————

Murong Bin, who left the study, always felt that everything that happened in the room just now was so unreal, and kept muttering in his heart,

"Murong Jingyi appointed me as the acting city lord?"

"You want to hand over the palace and Shangwu City to me to manage?"

"What I've coveted for a long time, it's so easy to get my hands on?"

That's right, in fact, Murong Bin, who was respectful, had long been antipathic to Murong Jing in his heart. However, due to the huge gap in strength between the two, Murong Bin had to keep his thoughts deep in his heart.

But now Murong Jingyi is going to retreat and recuperate, and all the power has fallen into his hands!

"Father, everything the Murong family has done to us, I must take it back with interest!"

——————————————————————————————————————

At night, it was still in the study of Murong Mansion, and Murong Yan reported to Murong Jingyi as usual on the whereabouts of each sect after sending out the city.

"These are all the whereabouts of the various gates after they sent out of the city. ”

"Okay, I got it. ”

After Murong Yan finished reporting, she suddenly knelt down on one knee, which made Murong Jingyi puzzled and asked, "Yan'er, what are you doing?"

Murong Yan apologized to Murong Jingyi with a slight cry, "It was the subordinates who failed to find the two elders of Xuanqing Gate entering the city in time for their negligence, which caused the city lord's plan to fail, and asked the city lord to punish him." ”

Murong Jingyi hurriedly helped Murong Yan up, shook his head and said, "It's not your fault, if the two of them have the intention to hide their deeds, they won't be able to detect it with your cultivation." In addition, it is also possible that the two of them entered Shangwu City when you went out of the city to attack and kill the Star Lord. ”

Looking at Murong Yan, whose eyes were a little red, Murong Jingyi comforted like a father, "So, silly girl, don't blame yourself." ”

Murong Yan choked up and said, "Yes, City Lord." ”

"In addition, the eel will be handed over to you to control. ”

"City Lord, why is this?" After controlling the Jiao Eels with spells that day, Murong Yan knew that the strength of these Jiao Eels was comparable to that of the top first-class masters, but now Murong Jingyi actually wanted to hand over ten Jiao Eels to himself?

"Don't be surprised, you heard it right. Murong Jingyi said with a solemn expression, "I handed over the eel to you because I have a very important task to give you. ”

"Please show the city lord!"

"I want you to personally escort Manven back to Shadowhills, and. Murong Jingyi paused for a moment and said in a deep voice, "I have been staying there to protect Manwen, and I will not come back without my order!"

"City Lord, this!"

Before Murong Yan could refute, Murong Jingyi said sharply, "This is an order!"

Murong Yan, who regarded obedience to Murong Jingyi's orders as everything, had no choice but to say helplessly, "Yes, City Lord!"

"Alas....." Murong Jingyi turned around and walked to the desk, and said, "You also heard what Manwen said, the situation on the Beiwulin side has some troubles, so she is the only one who came back this year to celebrate her birthday." ”

Murong Yan didn't speak, but she did hear Murong Manwen talk about this matter a few days ago.

Murong Jingyi continued, "You also know that although the Shadow Mountain Villa is not weak, I still don't feel at ease, so I hope you will protect Manwen. And the eel can also be your help at certain times. ”

After understanding Murong Jingyi's intentions, Murong Yan resolutely agreed, "Even if Murong Yan dies, she will definitely protect the safety of the eldest lady!"

Unexpectedly, Murong Jingyi said, "What I want is for both of you to be safe and sound, understand!"

"Subordinate...... Got it. ”

"Stand down. ”

After Murong Yan left, Murong Jingyi did not go back to the bedroom to rest, but sat on the chair again, closed his eyes and whispered, "It's time to come." ”

Half an hour later, Murong Jingyi noticed a figure standing outside the door of the study, and smiled faintly, "Brother Mo, please come in." ”

As the words fell, the figure outside the door flashed into the room in an instant, but the door did not open the slightest trace.

Without waiting for Murong Jingyi to speak, Brother Mo preemptively said, "Brother Murong, it seems that your plan was frustrated from the beginning. ”

Murong Jingyi heard it, and there was a hint of reproach in his words, and he replied, "Brother Mo's tone seems to be a little displeased?"

"So what? No, so what?" Brother Mo asked rhetorically. "Shouldn't I be displeased?"

"Ha! Brother Mo, you ...... Should it be displeased?"
