Bai Yu said with a regretful expression. Although that little girl wasn't much of a person, she was still loyal. These days, the number of loyal people was the fewest.

When Mu Ru Yue heard their conversation, she couldn't help but turn around and head downstairs.

"You want to go to the City Lord's Mansion?" At the back, Feng Qing's voice sounded out unexpectedly, clearly disagreeing. Mu Ru Yue didn't even turn her head back. She just nodded and said, "We have no choice but to go." After saying that, Mu Ru Yue hastily ran out.

"Your Highness …" What are you trying to do? " When Tao Er saw Mu Ru Yue leave, she was elated. But in the next second, when she saw that her highness was about to leave, her expression turned ugly.

"I was the one who brought her to Peony City. If anything happens to her, I can't explain myself." With that, Feng Qing chased after him.

Perhaps there were still those who believed him when he said these words to a three year old child. However, none of the people present were retards. How could they not know what Feng Qing meant? Although this answer left them speechless, they had to admit that the current crown prince had indeed taken a fancy to his younger brother's wangfei.

"Now, the two people you're sending away have already entered the tiger's den. Jun Ruo, what do you think?" Bai Yu looked at Jun Ruo and asked when he saw him smiling.

"The only thing I can do is to support them, when they want to return." As Jun Ru said this, he returned to the teahouse. Bai Yu frowned slightly, "I don't know what you are scheming, it's just that … Don't go too far.

The matter at Peony City is your win. However, this might not be the case. I've already decided to stand by the crown prince's side and use the crown prince's power to complete my mission. Jun Ru, I hope that you won't become the kind of person that I hate the most the next time we meet. "

Bai Yu's tone was filled with helplessness.

He felt both helplessness towards this world and towards the human heart.

"What I want is for this to be a peaceful and prosperous world. Where is the motive? Bai Yu, you think too much of me. " Jun Ru said.

Bai Yu just laughed coldly, then left the restaurant as well.

The city of Peony was a mess, but even so, not a single resident of Peony City felt sad. Because they had welcomed the true liberation of Peony City. They knew about the slaves.

But he only knew.

They loved the wealth that Peony brought them, and enjoyed the convenience of slavery. Therefore, they could only live their lives cautiously and didn't dare to pursue the matter any further. However, everything was different now. The Mayor had saved these people.

In the future, there would no longer be any of the six great clans in Peony City, nor would there be those terrifying slave systems. Maybe, because of this, Peony City would no longer have the prosperity that it once had. Available... After witnessing the miserable state of the slaves, everyone was rejoicing in the fact that they no longer had to live in sin.

Therefore, under this kind of mentality, the entire Peony City was brimming with an excited atmosphere.

City Lord's Mansion

Because there were too many civilians in the city, the soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion had already blocked everyone outside the City Lord's Mansion.

"Let's go in and meet the mayor!"

"That's right, the Mayor is our savior."

"We want to see the mayor!"

At the door, thousands of people surrounded the City Lord's Mansion. They were all very excited as they wanted to personally go and thank the person who saved them. The soldiers by the door also felt a headache coming on. He could only shout out, "The mayor has ordered us to rest for the time being. The Peony Gathering at night will be the time for everyone to meet. The Lord Mayor is fine, so there's no need for you to worry. "

The soldiers at the door kept shouting at them.

At this moment, in the City Lord's Mansion, in the Peony Court.

Those who practice martial arts have very keen hearing. Hearing the shouts from outside, Ling'er looked at Qing Xun who was sitting at the side and sighed with emotion, "City Lord, you …" How could you think of all these? " Ling'er cautiously asked.

It no longer had the fierceness it had before.

She had never imagined that Qing Xun would have such an ability. And the most terrifying thing was, these methods were executed under her surveillance, without any change in expression or expression. Even she did not know when Qing Xun had done such a thing.

Qing Xun could hear Ling'er's doubt. He picked up his teacup and took a sip of cold tea before smiling, "Since I'm doing things for you, then I naturally have to do things for myself. Being together with all of you is akin to fighting a tiger for its skin. If I want to protect myself, I naturally have to make some preparations.

"Speaking of which, it's because these slaves are too stupid, they will believe whatever I say."

"City Lord, what happened today was Ling'er's fault. Please punish me, Mayor. " Ling'er knelt on the ground with utmost sincerity.

Qing Xun's gaze fell upon Ling'er, and his heart was calm. Ling'er was an intelligent woman, but at the same time, she was also difficult to control. If you make a mistake, she will kill you without any hesitation.

This was a double-edged sword.

As for her previous change in attitude, it didn't matter to him at all. Back then, he could even control a girl like A Yue, but how could he not control Ling'er? As he thought about it, Qing Xun replied, "I'm not angry, you've only done what you should have done."

"Mayor …" Ling'er blankly stared at him.

"You are the pawn of those people. Even if I destroy you, the next person to come will be the same as you. There is no loyalty between you and me. As long as you continue to serve me and the City Lord's Mansion in the future, it will be enough.

If you can do it, then stand up confidently. Don't kneel in front of me. "

Qing Xun said coldly.

Yun'er quickly stood up and looked at Qing Xun, his heart thumping. At first, he thought that she was going to die here. After all, the city lord was fine. There was even a possibility for his to ascend to the next level, even though the slave market underground was gone … But it didn't affect him at all.

She had gone overboard with her words before. If it was someone else, they would probably throw her away, right?

As she thought about it, Yun'er's eyes drooped slightly, as though she had made some sort of decision in her heart. The look in her eyes turned resolute.

"City Lord, there is someone outside who claims to be the young master of the Medicine Valley." A respectful voice sounded from outside. It was obvious that this was the first time White Mirrorjade had taken the initiative to enter through the main entrance. But these guards didn't recognize White Mirrorjade.

This was the reason for the announcement.

"Invite someone in." Qing Xun said, his heart filled with doubt. White Mirrorjade is coming over now?

"City Lord, did we kill him? If White Mirrorjade hadn't been the enemy, we wouldn't have been so passive. and even lost the underground slave market. " Ling'er's eyes were filled with killing intent.

Qing Xun shook his head, "No need, in this slave market, prosperity is bound to decline, even if it isn't them, in the future, there will be others who will pay attention to it. To retreat in a hurry was what a smart person should do. Furthermore … The idea of colluding with the enemy didn't hold water.

He's never been on our side. We're the ones who asked him for help. "

Qing Xun said calmly.

"I never thought that the City Lord of Qing Xun would be such a transparent person. This way, I can feel much more at ease." Outside the door, the man's voice sounded haughtily. With that, the door was kicked open.

The black-robed elder was in front, protecting his master.

As for White Mirrorjade, he stood there, dressed in rich clothes. Elegant appearance. Her appearance was as smooth as jade and did not seem to fit at all.

"Young Valley Master will come to my City Lord's Mansion again, I am much more at ease now. Ling'er, serve tea. and then invite the Lady over here. " Qing Xun said.

"But Madam's body …" Ling'er was a bit worried.

"No matter. Young Valley Master must have come here today to fulfill my wish." After all … That little slave was given to Young Valley Master. " Qing Xun instructed.

After Ling'er heard what he said, she could only pour him some tea before leaving to do some work. As she walked past White Mirrorjade, Ling'er couldn't help but glare at him. It was obvious that she was extremely dissatisfied with him. However, White Mirrorjade didn't bother to look at her.

He walked into the house and poured the tea on the floor.

The smile was still in his eyes, "This cup of tea is for the people who died in the underground cave." Although this young master does not wish to save others, but I respect those who have died. "

Qing Xun raised his eyebrows. This fellow, he was clearly provoking him, yet he still spoke so arrogantly.
