As night falls, lanterns have long been hung under the eaves of the city lord's palace. The orange light flickers in the dark night, reflecting the shadows of the people coming and going, and some of them seem to be crowded.

After the two maids led Mingyue and the county magistrate to their positions, they retreated.

At this moment, a group of wealthy businessmen, as well as officials from several surrounding counties, were already sitting in a group on the floor. There was an independent table in front of each of them, with wine and food already arranged on it.

After seeing Mingyue's unfamiliar face, many people immediately cast curious glances.

The outgoing wealthy businessman even raised his glass and came over, "This brother is a bit strange. I wonder which family he is a rising star in?"

Just when the county magistrate was about to speak for her, Mingyue had already raised the wine glass on the table and said humbly: "Song is not talented, and his family is just an ordinary farming family."

Knowing that she was just an ordinary person, many people lost interest and looked away with disdain.

Mingyue looked calm and composed, without any inferiority complex about being looked down upon by others.

Even the county magistrate now admires her calmness. You don't know how embarrassing it feels to be ignored and looked down upon. He suffered such grievances in the early years, so that now he often encounters such scenes.

, I still feel a little confused.

The county magistrate couldn't help but sigh in his heart, young people are still in good spirits!

After a while, the city lord, the protagonist of the banquet, appeared on the stage.

This banquet was actually a polite gratitude banquet. On the one hand, it was to thank these businessmen for lending a helping hand during the difficulties in Shu City. On the other hand, it was to encourage these officials to continue to do their jobs well, and to praise everyone on the way, and then more.

Want some money.

Everyone has a clear idea of ​​the significance of this banquet.

However, knowing the result means knowing the result, and the process still needs to be performed.

"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the banquet. This refugee crisis in Shu City is thanks to you..."

As the city lord Qin Xingye talked eloquently in front, Mingyue was studying him.

As the saying goes, appearance comes from the heart.

Qin Xingye has a very handsome face, with sword-like eyebrows slanting into the temples, a high nose, and a bit bohemian in appearance, but the inadvertent glint in his eyes tells people that this person is absolutely

Not an ordinary person.

As if aware of Mingyue's gaze, Qin Xingye's eyes were fixed on her face.

Mingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, raised the wine in the glass towards him, and drank it all.

After a brief confrontation, Qin Xingye quickly looked away again.

However, these guests did not notice any difference and were still excited about the city lord's words.

I have to admit that Qin Xingye is a person who is very good at arousing everyone's emotions. With just a few words, these wealthy businessmen all donated hundreds of taels, and the officials also wanted to go to pieces for him. I'm afraid they have forgotten about it a long time ago.

The one sitting on the dragon chair of Song Dynasty.

After Qin Xingye clapped his hands and said, "I'd like to treat you all to a good meal and a drink," he didn't stay any longer and directly left the venue to this group of officials and businessmen.

While everyone was changing glasses, a maid accidentally spilled wine on Ming Yue's clothes.

The county magistrate frowned: "You servant girl, how can you be so careless?"

Mingyue said nothing, only patted the wet cuffs, feeling a little regretful. These were her only two pieces of men's clothing!

The maid immediately knelt down and said in a panic: "I was careless, sir. Please forgive me. Please go with me and change some clothes."

Ming Yue really couldn't stand such poor acting skills.

But since the owner of the City Lord's Mansion wants to see her, she can't refuse, can she?

"Okay, please lead the way." Mingyue raised the maid's arm and said calmly.

The maid raised her eyes and glanced at her, but when she saw her gentle and jade-like face, she suddenly blushed.

"Yes, sir, please come with me." The maid's voice suddenly became a little lower.

Mingyue nodded and stood up, winking at the county magistrate along the way.

When the county magistrate saw this, what else did he not understand? It was because he had become a bad person for nothing.

All the way around the pavilions, pavilions, ponds, pavilions and waterside pavilions, not long after, the maid and Mingyue stopped at the door of a villa.

"Sir, please! The city lord has been waiting for you for a long time." The maid opened the door of the other courtyard and said to the bright moon.

"Excuse me, girl." Mingyue nodded slightly.

The maid's cheeks turned red again, "I also obey my orders, please don't blame me, sir."

Mingyue nodded and walked in towards the wide open door of the courtyard.

Just as he walked into the other courtyard, he heard Qin Xingye's voice suddenly: "Mr. Song is really good at it. In just a moment, he captured the soul of the maid in the City Lord's Mansion."

There was a faint smile at the corner of Mingyue's mouth: "Nothing can compare with you, the Lord of the City. With just a few words, you can make all the princes be grateful to you, wishing you could live and die for you."

Qin Xingye looked at her: "Master Song doesn't seem to be afraid of this city lord?"

"That's because I know that the Lord of the City has a tolerance for others. Otherwise, just because of the offense in my eyes just now, I might have lost my life long ago." Mingyue smiled lightly, with a cunning flash in his eyes.

"I heard that the plan for the refugees to open up wasteland and the wealthy businessmen to donate money and erect monuments all came from Mr. Sir? With such a great talent, this city lord must be reluctant to do anything to him. However, this city lord also has a few doubts that he needs to answer.

2." Speaking of this, Qin Xingye's expression condensed slightly and he said in a serious tone: "What is your name, sir? What is the purpose of coming to Shu City?"

Mingyue put away the smile on her face and showed a serious attitude.

"To be honest, I went to the city lord to ask for something." Mingyue narrowed her eyes, with a stern look on her face: "I want to live alone, but I can't live alone."

Qin Xingye now became curious, "Oh? I wonder who this person is? And I wonder how he offended Sir?"

Mingyue sighed deeply and then started to make up a story.

"This matter has to start from Fengcheng. I had a cousin who was married to an escort. The escort was born with supernatural powers. The couple lived a comfortable life. However, the escort was the best at drinking.

One day when I was drunk, I..."

A sad look appeared on Mingyue's face, she blinked and continued to compile:

"I never expected that he would abandon my cousin. The city lord should also know how dangerous it is for a woman to be alone in this world... When I found my cousin a few days ago, she had already suffered all the insults.

, she only had one wish before she committed suicide, and that was for me to avenge her. I have no relatives in this world for a long time, my cousin is my only close relative, and her last wish is my lifelong wish."

When Qin Xingye heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Now he understood Mr. Song.

Qin Xingye thought for a while: "However, according to what Mr. said, the escort is clearly not in Shu City. You..."

Mingyue gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "No matter how far apart the world is, I want him to regret it for the rest of his life, but I am still weak after all, so I ask the city lord to lend a helping hand."
