Chapter 2894 Workaround
Before Qi Tianlong found the opportunity, he made a request to the Blood Ink God.
Unexpectedly, the Blood Ink God Lord spoke first.
His tone was calm and indifferent, without the slightest emotion, making it impossible to guess his true thoughts.
Qi Tianlong was also uncertain about the intention of the blood ink god, was he going to attack the Qi family?
After all, what the Blood Ink God Lord said was that the city lord was killed, not that the city lord died!
A word difference, but the meaning is not the same.
Qi Tianlong also put down his wine glass, regained his composure, nodded and said: "What the Imperial Envoy said is true, the Lord Yuwen was indeed killed, and it happened just a few days ago."
Xuemo Shenjun said again: "I also heard that there is a festival between the Qi family and the city lord's mansion?"
Hearing this, the faces of the two Qi family elders changed.
Immediately put down the wine glass, not in the mood to eat or drink, and listened silently.
Qi Tianlong's pressure was even greater, and he was secretly worried.
But he remained calm on the surface, and replied calmly: "My lord is well informed, there is indeed such a thing.
Speaking of the origin of the festival, we have to start seventy years ago.
then……"
Qi Tianlong explained the origin of the Xuanguang Cave dispute to the Blood Ink God Lord.
After hearing this, Xuemo Shenjun slightly nodded and said: "In this way, the festivities between the Qi family and the City Lord's Mansion are limited to the dispute over the Xuanguang Cave.
The City Lord's Mansion has controlled the treasury for seventy years. They thought they were sure of everything, but unexpectedly lost the martial arts tournament, and the Xuanguang Cave was taken away by the Qi family...
Viscount Tianlong, is that so? "
Of course Qi Tianlong nodded.
The old eunuch coughed twice, wiped the corners of his mouth with a square handkerchief, and asked in a thin voice: "Although that treasure house can produce a huge amount of wealth every year, it is tempting.
But no matter what, you shouldn't have killed Yuwen Chengkong and his son.
After all, they are nobles bestowed by the monarch, city lords ruled by the Kingdom of God.
Viscount Tianlong, you can't afford this crime, can you? "
Qi Tianlong stood up "shua", quickly bowed and saluted, and said in a solemn tone: "My lord's words made Tianlong extremely frightened, and I absolutely dare not agree!
As we all know, Yuwen Chengkong and his son died in the sunset sea area, in the territory of the black shark clan.
This matter has nothing to do with the Qi family, and Tianlong will never break the law knowingly.
Moreover, when Yuwen Chengkong and his son died, Tianlong was waiting for orders in the capital and had not yet returned to Qingshan City.
Please two adults learn from each other! "
The old eunuch nodded slightly, and asked again: "You were not present when the incident happened, of course the monarch knows.
But I heard that your Qi family has recruited a new priest with great strength and methods. "
The old eunuch obviously meant something else.
With a smile on his face, Qi Tianlong replied respectfully: "My lord is joking, Tian Xing enshrined is young and courageous, courageous and resourceful.
But these are all petty fights, which cannot be seen by the two adults at all.
After all, he is just a young man who has not broken through to the realm of the gods. "
He did not defend Ji Tianxing, denying that he killed Yuwen Chengkong.
Instead, he explained to the imperial envoy and the old eunuch that Ji Tianxing had not yet reached the realm of a god.
Anyone who is not a fool will understand that it is impossible for a young man in the God Realm to kill Yuwen Chengkong.
The old eunuch took a deep look at Qi Tianlong and said nothing more.
Xuemo Shenjun smiled and said: "You don't have to be nervous, Viscount Tianlong, we're just asking casually.
You are a new viscount and a hero, how can we doubt the Qi family? "
Qi Tianlong also smiled and cupped his hands, saying: "Thank you two adults for your insight."
Xuemo Shenjun nodded, and said earnestly: "Remember what you said tonight, and in addition, don't let down the trust and bestowal of the monarch!"
Qi Tianlong hastily responded, and took the opportunity to praise the monarch for his wisdom and martial arts, and he had a good meal of flattery.
Xuemo Shenjun expressed his relief, and the old eunuch rarely smiled.
This dinner is about to end in this harmonious atmosphere.
However, Qi Tianlong plucked up his courage and said to the two of them: "My lords, there is something that Tianlong holds in his heart like a stick in his throat.
After thinking about it again and again, Tianlong decided to ask the two adults for help! "
Xuemo Shenjun looked at him with interest, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Qi Tianlong bent down and bowed, made a solemn ceremony, and said in a sincere tone: "Tianlong dares to ask the two adults to help Qingshan City establish a new owner!
Now, the father and son of the city lord died, and the people in the city lord's mansion fled overnight.
The huge city lord's mansion was empty, the city guard department was also panicked, and countless guards were passive and sabotaged.
The law and order in the city is deteriorating and gradually becoming chaotic.
In addition, the Black Shark Clan in the Setting Sun Sea Area is also eyeing Qingshan City with great ambitions.
In the past few days, the residents in the city have panicked, and many have thoughts of fleeing.
Even those disappearances, thefts and murders broke out frequently! "
Qi Tianlong's tone was quite sad, and even more heartbroken and worried.
"As the saying goes, a city cannot live without an owner.
Qingshan City has no owner, rumors have spread everywhere, people's hearts are fluctuating, and turmoil is unrest.
A family like our Qi family still has the ability to protect itself, try to maintain order in the city and protect those people.
But our strength is limited after all...
I also hope that the two adults will report the situation to the monarch and choose a city lord as soon as possible!
Otherwise, the three million people in Qingshan City will be in danger! "
After finishing speaking, Qi Tianlong bent down and bowed deeply to the blood ink god and the old eunuch.
The blood ink god and the old eunuch looked at each other with strange eyes.
One had a half-smile, and the other had approving eyes.
The old eunuch nodded slightly and said: "Viscount Tianlong is concerned about the country and the people, and has the common people in his heart. It is really the blessing of Qingshan City."
Xuemo Shenjun pondered for a moment, and asked: "Viscount Tianlong, you are a nobleman who has been rooted in the city for hundreds of years, and you know the situation better.
Do you have any suggestions or thoughts in this situation? "
The meaning of this sentence is already a bit interesting.
Qi Tianlong's heart felt hot, and he was very grateful to the imperial envoy.
He quickly replied: "The situation in Qingshan City is deteriorating at an accelerated rate every day, and it has reached a very dangerous point.
In addition, the Black Shark tribe has been active recently, and there is a tendency to land southward.
Tianlong believes that this matter must be decided as soon as possible to stabilize the hearts of the people.
Of course, Tianlong also knows that the matter of choosing a city lord is of great importance and cannot be hasty.
But things are imminent, and we can work around it.
It's better to tentatively appoint a person with both ability and political integrity to preside over the overall situation.
First appease the hearts of the people and stabilize the situation in Qingshan City, the monarch will have enough time to think about it..."
Hearing this, the old eunuch gave him another deep look.
Xue Mo Shenjun looked at the cave, thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "This method is feasible, after all, the people are the foundation of the country, and the king does not want to see Qingshan City fall into chaos.
Viscount Tianlong, who do you think is a person with both ability and political integrity in this city who can take charge of the overall situation? "
Qi Tianlong pretended to think seriously for a moment, and tried to ask: "Patriarch Yuchi, Patriarch Feng, and Patriarch Chi are all noble gentry from a family with high morals, you can choose one of the three."
The old eunuch's eyes became more playful.
Xuemo Shenjun asked with a smile: "Which of the three patriarchs you recommend has a title?"
"Uh..." Qi Tianlong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "That's not true."
"Without a title, how can you temporarily act as the city lord? This is not in line with the laws of the Kingdom of God!" The Blood Ink God Lord denied it.
Qi Tianlong showed embarrassment, frowned and muttered: "Then this will be difficult..."
Xuemo Shenjun looked at him with a smile and asked, "Viscount Tianlong, don't you intend to recommend yourself?"
Qi Tianlong was stunned for a moment, and asked back: "Sir, can this be done? Is it in compliance with the regulations?"
Xuemo Shenjun smiled and said: "The laws of the Kingdom of God have not stipulated that you cannot recommend yourself.
Therefore, if you are willing to take on the responsibility of appeasing the people and calming down the situation, then you can recommend yourself.
Moreover, you are the only noble in the city, which is most suitable. "
