One hundred and seventy second battle in front of the palace
With Qi Feng opening his mouth to help, Song Yi and Chen Su finally escaped. General Zhu's attitude softened, and the expulsion of Xiao Qiong from Moji City came to an end. But at this time, there was a glint in Qi Feng's eyes.
Flashing forward, a new question was raised. Now Xiao Qiong has been away for more than a month. Not only did he not come to Zhuguo Mansion to report, but no one brought news for him, so Xiao Qiong is naturally no longer worthy of being the Lord of Moji City.
, in this case, Moji City will become a place with no one in charge. How can the Zhuguo Mansion allow Moji City to continue to be so disorderly?
"Qi Feng, what is your opinion on this matter?" General Zhu Guo was already worried about this matter. Since Qi Feng was the first to bring it up, he naturally wanted to ask his opinion first. General Zhu Guo said this
Asked, Qi Feng bowed down humbly, "Sir Zhuguo, I would like to recommend a few candidates. As for whether they are suitable, I would like to ask you to consult for details."
When Qi Feng said this, Luo Fang snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "Qi Feng, what is your identity? It's your turn to speak on such a big matter as selecting the city lord?"
Qi Feng looked at Luo Fang and chuckled, "Master Luo, didn't you hear what Master Zhu Guo just said? Although Qi Feng has a humble status, he is willing to help Master Zhu Guo solve his problems." As he spoke, he faced Zhu Guo.
Jiang Yi handed over his hand, and his righteous words were quite like a loyal minister's pride, "So even if Master Luo questioned him, Qi Feng did not dare to flinch at all."
"Pretend, don't I know what kind of person you Qi Feng are?" Luo Fang blew his beard and stared, wishing to expose Qi Feng's scandals one by one, but after thinking about it, he really didn't catch anything about him.
handle.
"Okay!" General Zhu Guo shouted, "When can you two stop arguing in front of me?"
Qi Feng and Luo Fang both bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes, "The villain knows his crime."
Song Yi and Chen Su had already stood up and retreated to the side. Without the order of General Zhu, they did not dare to retreat. Moreover, Qi Feng raised the issue of choosing the master of Moji City. Song Yi naturally wanted to know what the Song family would do with him in the future.
It’s best to plan yourself first about what kind of people you want to deal with.
General Zhu Guo stopped the fight between Qi Feng and Luo Fang, and asked Qi Feng: "Qi Feng, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."
"Yes!" Qi Feng replied loudly, and glanced at Luo Fang provocatively. Although the latter was angry, he did not dare to explode in front of General Zhu. At this time, Qi Feng replied proudly: "Master Zhu, let's go to the north
Zhuguofu is full of talented people. If it is a border area like Moji City, which has been built for less than a century, there will be many people who can be the city lords. However, considering that this place is close to the demon territory, those who can be the city lords must meet several conditions at the same time. First, they must
Be loyal to Lord Zhuguo and have no two ambitions; secondly, your ability and cultivation must be outstanding in order to control the north; thirdly, your commanding ability must be superior to others to avoid repeating the mistakes of Xiao Qiong; fourthly, your connections
You need to have a wide range of contacts so that you can get support at critical moments; fifth, you need to be foresighted and know how to plan ahead to appease the north for Lord Zhuguo..."
"Humph, Master Qi, these truths you are talking about are all empty talk. Where are such people?" Luo Fang couldn't help but attack Qi Feng again, "Although our Zhuguo Mansion has many talents, most of the people with advanced cultivation are concentrated here.
Divine Sword Guards, none of the people like us who are advising you in front of the palace are people who rely on their cultivation to win. Do you want Lord Zhu to send several people to be the city lords at the same time?"
Qi Feng sneered, "Master Luo, this is why you are unwilling to pay attention. On weekdays, in addition to using our brains to plan for Master Zhu, we should also have a pair of bright eyes, so that we can find talented people to recommend to Zhu.
Sir, do you think so?"
"Hmph! Just saying that I can do it, it would be best to send a perfect person to pacify the north and make the demon region never have trouble, so that we can focus on dealing with the western region, but this kind of good thing cannot be done just by talking about it.
It can be done.”
"Of course!"
When General Zhu Guo saw Qi Feng and Luo Fang emitting the smell of gunpowder again, he frowned and let out an angry snort, which frightened the two of them into silence. After a few breaths, General Zhu Guo asked Qi Feng in a deep voice: "Qi Feng, what are you doing?"
Is there anyone who meets these conditions mentioned above? The Divine Sword Guards all have important tasks at the moment, so I’m afraid no one can take up the post of city lord.”
Qi Feng lowered his head, cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Lord Zhu, I do have this candidate in mind."
"Let me hear it!"
Qi Feng raised his head and said, "Lord Zhuguo, do you still remember that we sent people to build a garden in the north more than two years ago?"
Zhu Guojiang frowned slightly, "Are you talking about building gardens in Qihuang Town and Jiuli Town?"
"That's right." Qi Feng said respectfully, "I remember that your Excellency once promised that a city would be established locally on the day the garden is completed. I wonder if you still have that impression."
"Yeah." After Zhu Guojiang heard this, he frowned and let out a long sigh.
Chen Su heard about the construction of Jiuli Town Xingyuan in front of the palace, and couldn't help but think of the folks in the Xingyuan dungeon. What's the crime for the common people? They should suffer like this! Thinking of this, he took an angrily step forward, but he couldn't wait.
When he opened his mouth, Song Yi grabbed him and shook his head nervously, "No, Su'er!" Chen Su was stunned for a moment, and saw an almost pleading look in Song Yi's eyes, so she had no choice but to stop what she was saying.
When he went back, he heard the voice from Tianchong in his mind saying: "Silly boy, you are impulsive again, aren't you?"
Chen Su's heart was cold, "Senior Tianchong, you have seen the misery of those in prison. Shouldn't I save them?"
Tian Chong smiled bitterly, "Silly boy, even if you tell the truth in this palace, do you think you can save them? What's more, your crisis has not been resolved at this time. If you tell what happened in the garden, what will happen to you?
How do you know this? Not only will your identity be exposed, but it may also implicate the Song family. You have to remember that the folks who escaped are now housed in Songzhuang. Besides,
This matter was originally ordered by General Zhu Guo, do you want to blame him for his foolishness in this palace?"
"Me?" When Tian Chong said this, Chen Su was stumped. Should this matter be kept in his heart forever? When Tian Chong saw that Chen Su was speechless, he kept silent. Some things still had to be given up.
He figured it out himself.
When General Zhu Guo heard Qi Feng mention the garden, he naturally thought of the Shen family. When Qi Feng said this, his intention was already clear, "Qi Feng, is it possible that the person you mentioned who is available is from the Shen family?"
"Lord Zhu Guo is wise." Qi Feng smiled flatteringly, "The person Qi Feng mentioned is indeed from the Shen family."
Qi Feng's words stung Chen Su's heart even more. The Shen family had an sworn hatred with him. Qi Feng actually recommended someone from the Shen family to be the leader of Moji City. However, thinking of Tian Chong's advice, he also
I had no choice but to hold back and listen to what Zhu Guo would do.
"Shen family." General Zhu Guo pondered for a moment, but did not express his position. Qi Feng added: "The Shen family has received great kindness from Master Zhu Guo, and has worked hard to repay the favor. Their loyalty can be expressed in the sky. But the heads of the Shen family have no one."
First, they are not people with tyrannical cultivation and superhuman strength. In terms of cultivation and talent, they are not comparable to ordinary people. Moreover, they have a wide network of friends and know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace. Just looking at the development of the three major families of the Shen family in recent years, one can imagine their abilities.
"
"Yes." General Zhu Guo nodded, what Qi Feng said was indeed true.
"Lord Zhuguo!" Seeing that General Zhuguo seemed to be wavering, Luo Fang hurriedly said: "Sir, I also have someone to recommend to me."
"Oh?" General Zhu Guo was stunned, "Luo Fang, who do you want to recommend?"
Luo Fang cupped his hands and glanced at Qi Feng contemptuously, "Sir, if we talk about loyalty, it is the way for superiors to control subordinates. With the authority of Lord Zhu, who dares to be disloyal? In terms of cultivation, the Shen family is just mediocre.
, there is nothing outstanding about it, but in terms of scheming, I think no one can be better than Mr. Qi..."
"Does Lord Luo want to recommend me?" Qi Feng teased him with ill intentions, "Qi Feng knows that he has no talent or ability, but I still thank you here for Lord Luo's kindness."
"Bah!" Luo Fang angrily spat at Qi Feng, "You don't even find a mirror to look at yourself, so you're worthy? What I want to recommend is a truly talented and virtuous man.
He is only twenty-five years old, so he has a lot to offer, and his background is definitely not comparable to that of the Shen family."
Qi Feng snorted coldly, "Who does Mr. Luo want to recommend? I am all ears."
"Yes, Luo Fang, who do you want to recommend?"
"Reporting to your lord, what I mean is Lu Sheng, Lord Lu."
"Lord Zhu Guo." Luo Fang said quickly: "Lu Sheng comes from the Qingyuan Sect and is a leader among contemporary disciples. Moreover, this person is not old, but his cultivation is not ordinary..." Before Luo Fang finished speaking,
Hearing Qi Feng sneer, Qi Feng's eyes could not help but look at Chen Su. Luo Fang was furious, "Qi Feng, what are you laughing at?"
Qi Feng shook his head disdainfully, "Master Luo, please continue, Qi Feng is just laughing for no reason."
"Hmph!" Luo Fang glared at Qi Feng, "Moreover, Lu Sheng is the beloved disciple of the Five Elders of the Qingyuan Sect. The Qingyuan Sect's heritage cannot be underestimated. In the future, whether it is to resist the Demon Realm or to conquer the Western Border, I'm afraid we
We still need to rely on their strength.”
"Master Zhu Guo, Lu Sheng is indeed a good candidate, but there is something I would like to ask Master Luo. Have Lu Sheng himself or the Five Elders Taoist Master ever thought about going to take charge of Moji City?" Qi Feng said thoughtfully.
He came, unmoved by Luo Fang's stern eyes, "The position of Moji City Lord does not only represent power, but also comes with danger. If one of the five Taoist Masters wants to take up the position of City Lord, Qi Feng will never object.
, but Lu Sheng is probably still a lot immature. Once something happens to him in Moji City, how should the Zhuguo Mansion explain it to the Five Old Taoist Masters? Has Mr. Luo ever thought about this issue?"
"This..." Luo Fang was speechless for a moment, "Huh, what could go wrong? Qi Feng, you are just alarmist!"
"Hahaha." Qi Feng burst into laughter, "Lord Luo, I think you are too old to be wise. Moji City is close to the demon realm and is surrounded by dangers. Only capable people cannot conquer them. Xiao Qiong is a living example!"
