Qiu Yan glanced at the triumphant Jia Rong, thought for a moment and said: "This matter still needs to be observed. You can see if they are honest in the past two days. If it is like what you said, then you can act according to the plan."
Already."
Jia Rong nodded when he heard this: "Don't worry, elder, leave this matter to me."
Three days passed quickly.
On the morning of the third day, Jiangnan and Hongfei got up very early.
"Brother Jiangnan, today is the last day. If Liu Jue still won't let us leave, what are you going to do?" Hongfei asked.
Jiang Nan's eyes flashed with coldness: "She can't stop me."
Hearing what Jiang Nan said, Hongfei suddenly felt relieved. For some reason, he had absolute confidence in Jiang Nan.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. It was the maid from the city lord's palace.
The maid held the breakfast in her hand and said respectfully: "Please have a meal, please."
Jiang Nan hummed indifferently, picked up his breakfast and started eating.
Hongfei was still anxious at first, but seeing Jiang Nan looking so calm, he also started eating breakfast.
No matter what, let’s fill our stomachs first.
After the two of them finished eating, Jiang Nan said: "You can go and inform your city lord, we will leave today."
The maid's face turned pale when she heard this, and then she looked at Jiang Nan in embarrassment: "You two, there is an order from above, and you cannot be allowed to leave."
When Hongfei heard this, he became very angry and overturned the table angrily.
"Otherwise, what's the point of us leaving? Do you really want to imprison us?"
The maid was startled by Hongfei's actions. She shivered and said nervously: "You two, this is not what I meant. It was ordered by the elder. Please calm down."
"Hongfei, it's useless for you to be angry with her, she just obeys orders." Jiang Nan said.
Hongfei calmed down and glared at the maid displeased.
Jiang Nan stopped the angry Hongfei and glanced at the maid with cold eyes.
"Then go and tell your elders that we want to see her!"
The maid nodded and ran out quickly.
Hongfei was still upset and gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Jiangnan, it seems that that stinky woman Liu Jue really wanted to retaliate. Fortunately, we rescued her at that time. If we knew she was such a person, we shouldn't have cared about her at that time.
of!"
Jiang Nan poured him a cup of tea and comforted him: "Don't be angry. It's useless to talk about this now. It's better to recuperate and see what they want to do."
Half an hour later, the maid came back again.
She looked at Jiang Nan and Hongfei nervously, and said cautiously: "You two, the elder is waiting for you in the main hall. Please come with me."
Jiang Nan hummed, then stood up and walked outside.
The main hall that the maid was talking about was the same hall where Lu Jue hosted a banquet for them last time. There were many monsters in the main hall at this time, and Lu Jue was sitting at the top.
Seeing Jiang Nan coming, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.
Jiang Nan and Hongfei raised their heads to look at Liu Jue. She was wearing a gorgeous dress, with a majestic air, exuding an aura of calmness and self-power.
Liu Jue in this state is much weaker than the Lu Jue they rescued back then.
Hongfei was not polite. When he saw Liu Jue, he asked directly: "Lu Jue, what do you mean? We rescued you, and you backhandedly asked people to imprison us here. Is it possible that you want to repay kindness with enmity?"
Hearing this, Lu Jue glanced at him indifferently, and then raised her voice and said: "You saved me, and I entertained you with good food, drink, and accommodation. Are you dissatisfied?"
Hongfei sneered and said loudly: "Bah, screw you, you didn't even let us out, and you had the nerve to say you were entertaining us. Wouldn't it hurt if you touched your conscience?
"
"Oh, no, you stinky civet cat has no conscience at all. If I had known, I should have let you die in that forest. My Jiangnan brothers and I should not have saved you at all!"
Hongfei's scolding made Liu Jue's face look very ugly. She glanced at Jiang Nan erratically, and after noticing that Jiang Nan's face was expressionless, she quickly lowered her eyes.
Qiu Yan and Linglong on the side suddenly became angry when they heard Hongfei's scolding.
"How dare you speak rudely to the city lord. I think you don't want to live anymore!" Qiu Yan scolded.
Hongfei glanced at her disdainfully: "You coquettish fox, what the hell do I care about you? What did I say wrong? My brother and I saved you, the bastard city lord, but you locked us up here instead.
Go out, is it possible that this is fake?"
Qiu Yan's eyes flashed with anger and she said angrily: "It's your honor to be able to save the city lord. The city lord is kind enough to let you stay. You should be grateful!"
"Bah!"
Hongfei spat hard and said contemptuously: "Do you want this honor for me? You treat this broken city lord as a treasure, but she is nothing in our eyes. Unfortunately, I thought she was a pitiful little girl before.
The civet cat turns out to be a beast that repays kindness with revenge."
When Qiu Yan heard this, she could no longer control herself and released a wave of demon power with a wave of her hand.
Hongfei was scolding vigorously and did not notice Qiu Yan's sudden attack. By the time he found out, it was already too late.
Seeing that the demonic force was about to hit Hongfei, Jiang Nan waved his hand and blocked the demonic force back.
Qiu Yan was instantly struck by the backlash and her face turned pale.
When Hongfei saw this, he burst out laughing and mocked ruthlessly.
"Damn it, you started to launch a sneak attack just because you said you can't win or be reasonable, right? The sneak attack didn't succeed and it was counterattacked. Hahahahaha, with this little ability, that's all you can do in the palace of the City Lord!"
Seeing this scene, Liu Jue, who was sitting at the top, finally spoke.
"Jiangnan, Hongfei, you have misunderstood. I have no ill intentions in keeping you here. I just want to ensure your safety because it is too dangerous outside."
A coldness flashed in Jiang Nan's eyes, and he didn't look directly at her.
Hongfei was even more dismissive and said with a sneer: "Danger? I think you are the most dangerous people in this City of Ten Thousand Demons. Liu Jue, you might as well tell me, what do you want to do by leaving us behind?"
Lu Jue's eyes flickered, and finally she took a deep look at Jiang Nan, and asked hesitantly: "Jiang Nan, I do have selfish motives for keeping you. If you stay willingly, I can marry you and let you enjoy being with me."
Same treatment."
Hearing this, Jiang Nan was slightly surprised.
Hongfei was so shocked that he almost jumped up.
He looked at Jiangnan, then at Liu Jue, and finally sneered disdainfully: "I mean, it turns out you have a crush on my brother Jiangnan, but you don't look in the mirror to see if you are worthy. If you don't
If you want to take a pee in the mirror, you can take a look at it, but my brother Jiangnan will not fall in love with you."
