However, what he said made everyone's eyes brighten, and they all looked over, waiting for the next words.
Meng Yuanhai also raised his head suddenly and stared at Li Muhong. He didn't know whether Li Muhong was telling the truth. He might be deceiving him or threatening him.
If it is true as the other party said, then he has lost his last way to survive.
There is only a dead end!
Meng Yuanhai would naturally not be reconciled.
"Why do you take over my Huayin City? Your Li family is already the city lord of Qingyue City, and you still want to get involved in Huayin City. Do you think the person in the palace will agree? Besides, even if I die, our Meng family
There are others, many of whom want to succeed me, why should it be your turn as an outsider?" He retorted word by word.
After hearing these words, everyone couldn't help but feel confused.
Yes, why should Li Muhong?
At this moment, Li Muhong smiled faintly and said: "One family cannot have two cities, but what if I separate the family? Now that the Li family in Qingyue City is getting stronger, the emperor is eager for us to separate the family ourselves. Even if he takes over Huayin City, he
I am extremely happy! A new city lord is better than me taking over Qingyue City directly, right?"
What Li Muhong said still makes sense.
As long as he separates the family, he will no longer belong to the Li family of Qingyue City from now on. Even if he takes over Huayin City, he will only be a newly promoted city lord with no power, no wealth, and most importantly, no family.
Such a new force cannot make any waves at all.
But if Li Muhong took over Qingyue City, it would be completely different.
With his current strength, coupled with the profound foundation of Qingyue City, sooner or later he will be able to lead Qingyue City to rise and become a prince of the Hanling Kingdom, and even be able to encircle him and claim the king himself.
Comparing the two, the emperor was obviously more willing to see the former.
Meng Yuanhai knew this very well and fell silent immediately after hearing this.
Li Muhong smiled faintly and continued: "As for the other heirs of the Meng family, do you think they can beat me?"
This reason was so simple and crude that Meng Yuanhai was stunned for a moment.
However, he soon came to his senses and said loudly: "So what if I can't defeat you? Does it mean that the succession of the city lord depends on one's own strength? If this is the case, shouldn't the position in the palace be changed long ago?"
"Yes, the position of city lord requires reputation and governance ability. If we rob it by force, I'm afraid the people of Huayin City won't agree, right?" Shopkeeper Liao on the side suddenly said.
"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Liao! Once this matter is made public, the Meng family's reputation will plummet immediately. Who will dare to believe the Meng family then? Although I am an outsider, the reputation of the Li family in Qingyue City is not worse than that of the Meng family. I think
Qingyue City has been taken over in the name of the Li family. As long as the people can be appeased, there is no need to worry about the rest." Li Muhong said confidently.
Shopkeeper Liao nodded when he heard this, with a smile on his face: "Well, that's right! It seems that Brother Li has been prepared for it, so I wish you all the best."
"You!" Meng Yuanhai was shaking with anger, pointing at Li Muhong and shouting: "If you announce this matter, Huayin City will be completely destroyed! Even if you get Huayin City by then, it will only be
It’s just an empty city, what good do you get?”
"Of course there are benefits! If you die, your Meng family will be finished, that's the biggest benefit!" Li Muhong's tone was unusually cold, and her words were also rude.
Meng Yuanhai colluded with bandits and killed so many tourists from other places, and almost killed Mu Yunyan.
Now that Mu Yunyan is about to become the wife of senior brother Qin Xiao, everyone at Moon Martial Arts School wants to avenge her, and Li Muhong is naturally very happy to be able to bring down the Meng family with her own hands.
"As for whether Huayin City will be destroyed...please rest assured about this. Even if the Meng family is destroyed, nothing will happen to Huayin City. After the news spread, the people are most worried about safety issues. If there is a powerful force
Do you think the people will still be worried about the military force entering Huayin City?" Li Muhong said confidently.
The city lord colluded with bandits and harmed tourists from other places.
The most damaging thing about this incident is the trust of tourists in Huayin City. If Huayin City changes its owner and is completely replaced by someone who is not from the Meng family, this trust will be re-established sooner or later.
As for security issues, they are easier to solve.
At present, in Huayin City, only the guards of the city lord's palace are responsible for maintaining security, and there are no other powerful forces opening branches in the city. But if a powerful force suddenly moves in, such as the Moon Martial Arts School, then the security of the city will be at risk.
will grow exponentially.
As long as Moon Martial Arts' publicity and safety patrols are done well, people will soon feel this sense of security.
Although he didn't mention his name, when Li Muhong said "a powerful force", everyone immediately thought of the Moon Martial Arts School.
So they all turned their attention to Lu Xiaoyue, who nodded gently and said: "This is a good idea! Moon Martial Arts School will definitely support it fully and open another branch in Huayin City to help maintain the safety of Huayin City!"
After receiving Lu Xiaoyue's promise, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Moon Martial Arts School has become famous in the past year. It suddenly went from being unknown on the list to being ranked second on the red list. It was very prosperous in the eyes of the public.
With their presence, the people are obviously more confident in the security of Huayin City.
Thinking of this, Meng Yuanhai felt ashen and raised his head, as if he still wanted to argue something.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind Lu Xiaoyue.
"The Shadowless Sword Sect will also move in! The safety of Huayin City cannot be left to the Moon Martial Arts School alone!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes widened and they turned to look at the speaker.
Li Xuanqing walked out slowly with a smile on her face.
Her current identity is the representative of the Shadowless Sword Sect, and her words represent the meaning of the Shadowless Sword Sect.
Now, everyone felt more at ease.
With the top two forces on the red list settling in, the security of Huayin City will be directly raised to an incredible level. Even if it cannot be compared with the capital city for the time being, I am afraid it is not far away.
In this way, what else do the people have to worry about?
Meng Yuanhai collapsed on the spot.
The two statements of the Moon Martial Arts School and the Shadowless Sword Sect directly shattered all his trump cards and pushed him into the abyss.
Meng Yuanhai fully confessed his crime and fully explained the process of colluding with the puppets and his motives.
It turns out that the life-extending ceremony that Lu Xiaoyue and others initially suspected was true.
In addition to the monster that chased the mountain tribe, Meng Yuanhai also benefited from it and gained decades of life in vain. This is why his real age is over fifty, but his appearance is less than thirty.
When the monsters from the Shan tribe ate meat, he also drank a few mouthfuls of soup.
After learning this, everyone had only one thought in their minds: Meng Yuanhai died unjustly!
