The Legend of the Resourceful Princess

The entire ground was shaking. The bamboo house that could not be considered strong completely collapsed in an instant. Both the chess pieces and everything else in the room were smashed into smithereens.

Waves of smoke and dust filled the air, making it difficult to see what was going on within.

"Damn it!" In the smoke, Ling'er pulled Qing Xun, and the two of them jumped far away. Looking at the situation here, Ling'er's expression was extremely ugly. Qing Xun broke free from Ling'er's hands, his gaze deep and cold.

"City Lord, this is all due to you losing your composure. You have to explain the future to those people. Perhaps, Ling'er will no longer be able to accompany you by your side. This is because of your indecisiveness. " Ling'er said with dissatisfaction. The anger in his voice couldn't be hidden no matter how hard he tried.

When the man heard this, he remained unmoved. His eyes were very calm as he coldly stared at the mist. There was not the slightest trace of panic on her handsome face, "Things have already become like this. Ling'er, even if you reprimand this city's master, it would be useless.

In addition … It was bad for them to start with, but they insisted on having their city lord stand guard. If only he had not handed over such a heavy responsibility to me from the beginning! "

"What do you mean by that?" Are you going to shirk your responsibility? Don't forget, Madam's life is not yet secure. If you shirk your responsibilities at this moment, you will have nothing. In fact … This servant can kill you right here. "

As Ling'er spoke, the longblade in her hand was unsheathed, and she was no longer as obedient as before.

"If you wanted to, you would have done it earlier. Isn't what you are most adept at, the parasite that you ingest? Ling'er, you won't do anything to me. Besides, who said she didn't cure him? Heh! Pill King Valley's young master, since you received my things and are working with Mu Ru Yue, you must have the confidence to cure her.

Otherwise, it would ruin his reputation as the Medicine God Valley. He would not do such a foolish thing. "

"So, you planned to sacrifice Peony City from the beginning? Why? "You just need to be a little more heartless …" Ling'er's face was filled with anger as she looked at the people beside her. Right now, that group of people were still in the smoke.

This was the only chance she had to listen to this person's explanation.

Without a good explanation, she had the right to kill him right now!

Ling'er's question caused Qing Xun's gaze to fall on her. Qing Xun's gaze was gentle, as if he was looking at his unconscious wife. "Ling'er, it's not that I want to sacrifice this city, but rather, it's because of the trend.

Rather than being smashed into smithereens later on, it was better to retreat bravely at the start.

What's more, you won't understand it no matter how much you say. In short... The result I wanted was already there. Let's go up. Since the city has already become like this, I, as the mayor, should go up and become a compassionate person. It would be too late if we were to go up after them. "

After saying that, Qing Xun turned around and left the area.

The ground movement was still there. Mu Ru Yue and the others had escaped from the room, but it wasn't as easy as Qing Xun and the others. Relentless and Ling'er knew some of the secrets of this place, which was why they came so quickly.

But them?

He was caught unprepared.

"Cough, cough …" After a long while, Mu Ru Yue finally crawled out from the rubble. Her face was also covered in blood. She lay on the ground, breathing heavily, not caring how dangerous her current position was.

"Oh my god, he didn't die in the hands of those soldiers from the City Lord's Mansion. He was almost killed by his own men."

This was Bai Yu, who had climbed out from behind. Bai Yu was much better off than Mu Ru Yue, but he was still dressed in shabby clothes. He looked at the panting Mu Ru Yue and frowned. "Royal Consort, now is not the time to be lying down."

"I know, but I really can't move anymore." Mu Ru Yue suppressed her voice.

At this time, three more people crawled out from the cave.

"Dog slave!" Don't you know it's faster? This is the first time this young master has been in such a difficult situation! " White Mirrorjade ruthlessly kicked the old man on the side. His expression was fierce, but it was still as pale as before.

"Young Valley Master should not question your servant anymore. We did not expect such a situation. As compared to questioning this old man, it was better to leave first. I'm afraid that Qing Xun has already left to take charge of the overall situation. "

Jun Ru said in the end.

"Oh? If you say so... Young Master Jun Ruo is planning to completely eradicate the City Lord's Mansion? " Bai Yu stood up and asked with interest.

"How could that be? I just don't want any more remnants of this system. As for Qing Xun, I am not that naive. " Jun Ruo said with a smile.

When everyone heard this, they fell silent.

Among them, the one who was the most furious was most likely Mu Ru Yue, "So, you were lying to this wangfei from the beginning? Qing Xun wouldn't die at all? "

"I have never deceived the wangfei, the wangfei hoped to save the slaves, and now I have succeeded. As for the Mayor's problem, it's not because of my promise. " Jun Ru said.

Mu Ru Yue was instantly stuck. Thinking back, this person really didn't say anything. So... Had she been cheated? Thinking about this, Mu Ru Yue's expression became extremely unsightly.

"If we're going to settle our debts after the fall, then let's not waste this time. If we don't leave now, we really won't be able to make it out alive." Bai Yu couldn't help but advise when he saw that Mu Ru Yue wanted to settle the score with him.

Then, without waiting for Mu Ru Yue's consent, he grabbed her and left.

"Wait …" The person who saved me before hasn't come back yet. " Mu Ru Yue said with a struggle.

"Your subordinate is always here." A red figure flashed out from the shadows. His attitude was respectful, and his body was in tatters. Mu Ru Yue looked and then replied with relief, "No matter what, it's good as long as you're fine." After we leave, we will first take care of our wounds. "

"Yes." After speaking, the red-robed man withdrew.

At this moment, the ground had already started to crack and no one dared to delay any longer. If he were to stay here, he wouldn't be able to do anything about it. At that time, they would all die an unknown death.

The crowd also headed outside. The one leading the way was Bai Yu. He was more familiar with this underground world than anyone else.

At this moment, he was extremely anxious. No one asked him about his matters, and furthermore … The people present weren't idiots. Even if they had asked, Bai Yu wouldn't say anything. After all, this man belonged to the Heaven Gate.

On the ground.

The scorching sun hung high in the sky, and Peony City's residents had already gathered near the Peony Garden. The food peddlers made the place even more lively. The sound of people hawking their wares unceasingly. Occasionally, there would be some jugglers as well.

It completely ignited the atmosphere here.

There were even many people from the other cities who came here to rush the crowd. In order to make a fortune here. This was the annual gathering of Peony City. It was a place where everyone rushed to.

On the outskirts, most of the merchants who came from outside the city would be in charge of the market. On the outside, most of the merchants who came from outside the city would be in charge of the market.

These people were the main reason behind the prosperity of Peony City.

With these powerful nobles present, they would be able to win the bid for the last peony in Peony City. That peony would be treated as the king of flowers. Peony City would also make a fortune for these people. These noblemen were after the food. And Peony City is for silver.

Furthermore, most of the seats in Peony City were for sale. In order to gain face, many people would buy seats close to noble seats.

It could be said that this Peony Gathering was enough for Peony City to spend for a year.

The Peony Assembly would be held at the most noon. The city lord would be there to invite everyone to a banquet. When night fell, the Peony Court would begin to wither, forming a magnificent sight that everyone dreamed of. As a result, everyone had already gathered here.

However … At such a critical time, the master of Peony City, the city lord of Qing Xun, had yet to appear.

In the center.

The seating was done in accordance with the Imperial City Imperial Family's banquet rules. However, at this moment, the person seated at the seat of honor was the newly arrived person, Crown Prince Feng Qing. Below him, was the other city lord. And after him, was the six great clans of the Peony City.

The aristocratic families in Peony City were not as numerous as the other cities, but the six families shared the same aura. Even if they tried to rob each other of their resources in Peony City, they would not harm each other's interests.

Because they're all in the same business.

At this moment, when they looked at the empty space beside Feng Qing, they were all panicking.

City Lord... Could it be that he failed?
