"City Lord, why do you say this?" Su Mu frowned. He seemed to have nothing to do with the Rong family, and there was no reason for the Rong family to deal with him.
"Master Su, you don't know something." The city lord smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he didn't know how to explain the matter clearly, so he simply pointed at the eighth elder.
"What are you pointing at me for?" The Eighth Elder was feeling unhappy. When he saw the city lord pointing at him, he immediately became angry. Others can't point fingers at him?
The city lord glanced at the eighth elder speechlessly, and then looked at Su Mu. He shouldn't need to say anything anymore, right?
Su Mu glanced at the eighth elder, then at the door, nodded suddenly, and then a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He finally understood what was going on.
However, this matter also gave him a headache. He couldn't continue to be misunderstood by the Rong family, and he had to explain it clearly.
Fortunately, he never made a promise to Rong Qianxue, and he never thought about taking the relationship further.
"Master Su, come, let's have a drink!" the city lord said boldly, why should he think about so many things now, let's have a drink first!
Su Mu nodded and toasted with the city lord. The eighth elder also came to clink glasses with a look of reluctance.
After a heavy drink, Su Mu returned to the room with the medicinal materials and bow, and chose to turn a blind eye to Miss Li and the dancer outside the hall. They could only watch Su Mu leave.
"Eighth Elder, do we still have hope?" The girls of the Li family don't want to miss out on Su Mu, and they can't think of any reason to dislike Su Mu. Even if they don't marry Su Mu, what if the Li family is not the only one?
They are not extremely talented, but they will eventually be exchanged for benefits.
Following Su Mu would be the best result.
Hope? The eighth elder snorted coldly, gave them a look, and left in anger. A group of unsatisfactory people came to ask him if he had hope. Didn't he behave better before?
"Hey, the eighth elder, the eighth elder..."
…
At noon, the city lord stood waiting outside the main hall, looking into the distance.
"City Lord, the young masters are back." A soldier came over to report. The City Lord nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
When the eldest prince was poisoned and came to him, he was so frightened that he almost lost his mind. The next day, he immediately sent his sons to take refuge, lest the eldest prince could not be rescued and their whole family would be dead. Some of them would die.
Having a son outside can also ensure that the bloodline can continue.
But now that the eldest prince has been cured and the crisis has been resolved, several of his sons can come back. When the time comes, we can join the God City to seek hegemony with the eldest prince!
By then, their family will be prosperous, not only able to enter the court, but even become a century-old family!
"father!"
Not long after waiting, I saw several young people coming over talking and laughing. They were all dressed in rich clothes and robes, and they looked like wealthy young men.
The city lord frowned immediately when he saw his three sons. The danger had just been lifted, and he was so arrogant. Don't you know how to restrain yourself?
"Huh?" Seeing that his sons came back with a few strangers, the city lord's face immediately sank. Why did he bring people back when he went to seek refuge?
"Dad, look who we brought here." A young man in his mid-twenties walked up to the city lord and pointed at the strange young men.
This young man is the eldest son of the city lord, Gao Zhang.
The city lord looked at the strange young men. He couldn't tell who they were from their clothes, so he could only shake his head.
"Dad, they are all talented children of the Cai family." Gao Zhang smiled and spoke with pride. He was able to get to know the young talents of the Cai family every time he went out. Isn't it amazing?
"Cai family?" The city lord was frightened when he heard it, and looked at the strange young people with secret fear in his heart.
The Cai family is so famous in the imperial capital. If anyone in the imperial capital has not heard of the Cai family, they are looking for death!
The Cai family is one of the most powerful centuries-old families in the imperial capital. Not only is it powerful, it is also deeply involved in the court. It has considerable say in the court, and sometimes it can even affect national policies!
But these are not the most important. The most important thing is that since the emperor became seriously ill, the Cai family has sided with the second prince. At this time, the second prince suddenly got close to his son and came here specifically. The purpose is definitely not
It would be that simple!
"It turns out he is a talented person from the Cai family. Gao is really short-sighted. Please forgive me." The city lord changed his mind and went up to say hello. Everyone in the Cai family smiled and clasped their fists and were polite.
"Dad, is the crisis over?"
After they finished their polite greetings, Gao Zhang approached the city lord and whispered.
When the city lord heard this, his heart sank. He was worried whether his three sons would tell the Cai family everything. It was definitely not a coincidence that the Cai family came here. I am afraid they came just for the eldest prince!
But at this moment, he couldn't say anything, so he could only nodded calmly.
"That's great, Dad, I'll take my friends around first!" Gao Zhang immediately said happily, and without waiting for the city lord to say anything, he took the Cai family around.
The city lord's expression changed, and he hurriedly went up to stop them, but in the end he stopped. Trying to stop them would only have the opposite effect, proving that there was something wrong in his heart. Now that the eldest prince has been cured, he has been transferred long ago. No matter how they turn, they will turn around.
There is no result.
"By the way, dad, these friends of mine are going to participate in the Lost Shadow Hunting. Please make arrangements!"
Before he could get far, Gao Zhang shouted to the city lord. The city lord frowned deeply when he heard it. Is this coming for the eldest prince or for Mi Xunxun Ying? Or both?
Faintly, he felt that there must be a big change in the imperial capital, and a storm was coming!
…
At this moment, the Wang family is very lively. There is a banquet in the main hall. The head of the Wang family, Wang Zhichang, is sitting in front of a banquet, drinking with several young people. The young people are hugging each other, and all the beauties in their arms are
The most beautiful lady in the Wang family!
"Master Wang, your arrangements this time are very thoughtful." A young man said to Wang Zhichang with satisfaction after taking a sip of wine.
"As long as you are satisfied, Master Gu." Wang Zhichang said with a smile on his face, and his heart blossomed with joy as he looked at these young men.
The Rong family killed one of their elders, and the Li family betrayed them. Just when they were angry and helpless, they didn't expect someone from the Gu family in the imperial capital came!
The Gu family is a well-known century-old family in the imperial capital, and they also occupy a position in the court. The most important thing is that they are loyal to the eldest prince!
The eldest prince is a strong candidate for the next emperor. If they climb up to the Gu family, they are equivalent to climbing up to the eldest prince. This is nothing to worry about now, and they may even become famous in the future and settle in the imperial capital with their entire family!
"Rong family, Li family, hum, you are finished this time!" Wang Zhichang sneered in his heart, now neither the Rong family nor the Li family have anything to fear from him!
And he will definitely make the Rong family and Li family pay a heavy price!
But what he wants to destroy most now is not the Rong family or the Li family, but Su Mu!
If Su Mu hadn't suddenly appeared, none of their elders would have died, and the Li family wouldn't have betrayed them!
But yesterday he wouldn't have dared to deal with Su Mu. It was a trivial matter for the Rong family and the Li family to protect Su Mu. The Wang family has been based in Taodong City for so many years. Isn't it easy to kill someone?
But Su Mu's climb up to the City Lord's Mansion gave him a huge headache. He really didn't have the guts to let them go against the City Lord's Mansion.
But when the Gu family comes, everything changes. What does the City Lord's Mansion mean in front of the Gu family? What does it mean in front of the eldest prince? With the help of the Gu family, it is not easy to kill a Su Mu!
