Just when Zhong Mo and the others were about to take Nian Hua back for a good rest, a group of servants surrounded Hua Chu and Jian Qiu.
A servant who looked like the leader stepped forward and said: "Miss, the master asked us to take you back."
Hua Chu shook her head and replied firmly: "I won't go back!"
"That's not up to the young lady. The master's command is that the young lady must be taken back! You guys, come here."
Several servants leaned towards Hua Chu. Jianqiu opened his hands to block Hua Chu's face. Seeing them getting closer and closer to him, Hua Chu could only look at Zhong Mo with helpless eyes.
"Wait!" Zhong Mo shouted.
"Little girl, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. This is Mr. De'an's family matter, and you can't afford it."
Zhong Mo took out the jade pendant Ning Guang gave him and said to them: "I am Tianquan Dark Star, your lady is now my guest, you go back, I will take her back later."
The servant took a few steps forward and took a closer look at Zhong Mo's jade pendant.
"Hahaha! Dark star? What dark star? I've never heard of it. Don't say it's a dark star today. Even if Tianquan comes, she won't be able to stop us from bringing back our young lady! Come on!"
Zhong Mo looked at the jade pendant that Ningguang gave her in confusion: "Didn't sister Ningguang say this is very useful? Forget it, in the end, you have to rely on your fists to do the talking."
At the General Affairs Department, Keqing is dealing with a series of problems brought about by the new law. She hasn't even had a good night's sleep these days.
The die-hards who opposed the new law were stronger than Keqing imagined. Even though they had roped in the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and the Exorcist Family, they still did not dare to say that they were sure of victory, and for Liyue, they still had to do their best.
It is possible to minimize losses.
What's more, the exorcist family is already aloof from the world. They have always only exorcised evil spirits and suppressed demons. This time they took sides only because the emperor's law was aimed at the Seven Stars.
"I didn't expect there would be so many things. It's really difficult for me to handle it alone."
"Keqing! Good news!"
Keqing raised her head and saw Ningguang staring at her.
"What good news? Ningguang, this is not like you. You are rarely so excited. I thought you always had that strategizing expression."
"As an ordinary person, I naturally have emotions and desires. Let's not talk about it. This time is indeed good news."
"Well, tell me."
"Do you still remember Mr. De'an?"
Keqing recalled for a moment and nodded: "Remember, he is the most powerful among those die-hards. In recent years, he has even been somewhat obedient to Qixing's orders."
Ningguang smiled: "But this time, it may be the time for his downfall."
"What happened? To make you so sure."
"This is the latest information. It is said that the servant of Duke De'an had a conflict with Xiao Mo. It is not a trivial matter at first, but I have given Xiao Mo a hint and asked her to hold on to it."
Keqing thought for a moment and understood Ningguang's intention: "Are you planning to use Xiaomo's identity to make a big fuss?"
Ning Guang nodded: "The one who knows me is Yu Heng. Xiao Mo is a new immortal. We know this, but others don't. The identity of an immortal has always been synonymous with authority and justice in the eyes of Liyue people.
The crime of bumping into an immortal is not a big one, but it is not a small one either. With this, it is enough for us to seize the opportunity in this battle."
Sure enough, after knowing that his servant had collided with the immortal, Duke De'an also knew about Zhong Mo's tough attitude. In order to apologize to Zhong Mo, he even paid for it with his own bank.
Although immortals don’t like worldly wealth, who can dare to say that they are 100% clean after they have accumulated it to this extent? Who can resist the immortal’s tracing methods? After layer by layer of tracing, it is not uncommon for people to be wiped out and bankrupt.
It is better to stay wisely and protect yourself from the bank, and you can still keep the small head if you lose the big head.
In this way, in the name of confiscation, Duke De'an donated his bank, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that he was actually making amends to Zhong Mo.
Without the financial support of the bank, the power of De'an Gong to resist the Seven Stars gradually weakened, and eventually declined in this reform struggle.
[The more the political struggle is written, the more loopholes it will have. It is better to end it as soon as possible.]
After listening to Ningguang's words and confiscating De'an Gong's bank, Zhong Moyou felt a little bored, so she decided to go to Xiangling Beidou and the others to talk about old times.
When I arrived at Wan Min Tang, I saw Xiang Ling from a distance, happily smiling and helping to serve the food in the store. A group of customers were also laughing and drinking and punching each other, which was very lively.
Zhong Mo walked over, but before he could call Xiang Ling, Master Mao at the counter saw her and called out.
"Welcome to the shop, Mr. Director!"
Zhong Mo was a little confused. She didn't think it was calling her at first, but as everyone in the store looked at her, she finally realized it.
Just as she was about to speak, she remembered Ning Guang's words.
"Xiao Mo, my sister's advice to you is not to reveal your identity easily. In the future, you will find that your ability to change your body shape is envied by many people. If you don't believe it, just go out with your current appearance!
"
In the end, she did not combine the image of her little guy in the memories of Xiang Ling and Master Mao, but just nodded.
"Hello, Master Mao. I heard that Wanmin Tang's dishes are one of the best in Liyue, so I came here to try them today."
Zhong Mo saw Master Mao winking at Xiang Ling desperately and communicating with Xiang Ling in a soft voice, but unfortunately with Zhong Mo's hearing, he knew everything clearly.
"Xiang Ling, when you go to cook in person, you must show your skills. You can't neglect this big shot! I heard that Mr. De'an's family business of decades was gone in an instant. Our small place can't
I can’t afford to offend such a big shot.”
"I know, Dad! I will try my best!"
Although Xiang Ling saw that this girl looked very similar to her friend Zhong Mo, she did not dare to risk offending the big shot and went up to ask rashly.
Zhong Mo was sitting in the shop while Xiang Ling went to cook. She instantly felt that the atmosphere in the shop had completely changed. From the moment she came in, people at every table began to be cautious, even when eating.
His voice became very small, let alone punching, drinking and shouting.
It was as if the air in the store had suddenly been sucked out, and everyone was holding their breath and not daring to relax.
At that moment, Zhong Mo suddenly felt that he didn't seem to fit here anymore. This was no longer the place he should be.
"Is it because of me? Why?"
After Xiang Ling served the food, facing Xiang Ling's expectant and anxious eyes, Zhong Mo took a few bites, praised it a few times, and then quickly fled the place.
Zhong Mo felt that maybe what Ningguang said was right, and maybe it would be better for her to have two different identities.
