After Cang Yan, the city lord of Cangxing City, heard the report from his guards, his jaw dropped in shock and his mouth opened so wide that it seemed like he could fit an egg in it.
Even though he was thinking about it, he never imagined that Lu Xiaoyue was actually shopping at this time, and he was shopping on the most lively and famous Five-Star Pedestrian Street in Cangxing City!
This... this is too nonsense.
The purpose of her coming to Cangxing City was not to kill everyone in the city lord's palace. How could she suddenly do such a thing?
Cang Yan couldn't figure it out anyway, and even wondered if this was just nonsense made by his guards to fool him.
But when I think about it carefully, I don't think it's like... the guards under him were trained by him personally, and most of them are loyal. Even if they are facing huge dangers now, they will never leave him.
In this case, there is no need to make up such a lie to deceive him.
So what is the reason?
Cang Yan thought for a long time, but couldn't think of an answer. Finally, he simply gritted his teeth and said to a guard next to him: "Quickly, invite the masters from the Eagle Shadow Sect, and then call the masters from the martial arts hall in the city.
...Forget it, gather all the people in the City Lord’s Mansion and let’s have another meeting!”
He couldn't figure out the answer by himself, so he simply called everyone together and asked everyone to think about it together.
With so many people, there is always one person who can guess Lu Xiaoyue's thoughts and decipher her conspiracy.
"I don't believe it. There are thousands of people in the city lord's palace, but they can't guess the purpose of your shopping?" Cang Yan thought through gritted teeth.
It didn't take long for the entire city lord's palace to gather again and prepare to discuss important matters.
At first, many people thought that this was because the city lord knew that Lu Xiaoyue was coming and was preparing for the final mobilization. Therefore, everyone had a serious look on their faces, looking down on life and death and facing everything with their heads held high.
But... when the city lord Cang Yan told everyone his purpose, everyone who heard it was dumbfounded.
"What? She...that person actually went shopping?"
Everyone present had black lines on their faces, and felt like countless crows were flying above their heads... Thousands of drafts were flying past in their hearts.
There are so many people in the city lord's palace, and they have summoned almost all the masters in Cangxing City, as well as the immortal cultivators from the Eagle Shadow Sect invited from foreign countries. Everyone is ready, using their own lives as a bet, and preparing to fight Lu Xiaoyue desperately.
She actually went shopping!
Who can accept this?
The most annoying thing is that they have to guess the purpose of Lu Xiaoyue going shopping, whether it is just to go shopping, or if there is another purpose, or some more terrifying conspiracy.
"Lord City Lord, she is too bullying. She doesn't take us seriously at all!" the guard commander of the City Lord's Mansion said loudly.
"Yes, yes... We have been waiting here all day, just waiting for her to come to fight to the death, and the result is like this... I can't accept it!" Another guard also shouted.
"Yes, unacceptable!"
More guards also shouted.
Seeing this, Cang Yan quickly waved her hands and said sincerely: "Brothers, please don't be anxious! Lu Xiaoyue is not an ordinary person, she is a female devil who came all the way from Donglian City. She must have done this for a purpose
! Shopping is just her cover-up, we can’t be fooled by her, we have to think about the reason why she did this, and the conspiracy behind it! As long as we can figure it out, we can still be saved today!"
There is some truth to what Cang Yan said. After listening to it, everyone present nodded.
Lu Xiaoyue is well-known, and judging from her past behavior, she is not the kind of person without a plan.
She must have had her own ulterior motives when she suddenly went shopping at this time.
At this time, not only must he guess his purpose, but he must also find a way to destroy it in advance... In this way, maybe the City Lord's Mansion can still be saved.
Thinking of this, everyone present calmed down and began to quietly think about Lu Xiaoyue's purpose of going shopping.
On the contrary, the immortal cultivators of the Eagle Shadow Sect did not follow Cang Yan's instructions at all. They all smiled and tried not to laugh out loud, so as not to cause dissatisfaction among everyone.
As both immortal cultivators, they understood Lu Xiaoyue's thoughts better at this time. The other party must not care about these people in the City Lord's Mansion and thought they could be dealt with by just waving their hands, so they didn't rush to kill them.
Shopping must have been a spur of the moment thing for her, and she had no special ideas at all.
Everyone in the Eagle Shadow Sect looked at the group of people in the City Lord's Mansion, seriously discussing the purpose of Lu Xiaoyue's shopping and the conspiracy behind it, and they couldn't help but laugh.
This feeling is really ridiculous.
Of course, in fact, they did not guess what Lu Xiaoyue was thinking, and they had no idea that Lu Xiaoyue's real purpose was actually to go shopping.
Although shopping was a spur of the moment, Lu Xiaoyue's original purpose had changed after seeing the scene on the street.
She wanted to know more about this city, understand everything the city lord did here, see if he was qualified, and then decide which method to use to deal with the city lord's mansion.
This is actually her true purpose.
After walking around for a whole hour, Lu Xiaoyue visited almost every lively street in Cangxing City.
Most of the silver borrowed from the guards has been spent, leaving less than three taels of silver.
For the rest, she did not plan to continue shopping, but planned to find a place to eat, sit down and observe the lives of the people in the city.
Through this period of shopping, she actually saw a lot of things, and saw the life scenes of the people in Cangxing City living and working in peace and contentment.
Although Cangxing City is located in a remote location, it is close to the sea and rich in resources. It is completely self-sufficient and has almost no need to trade with other cities in Hanling Kingdom. Even the nearest Donglian City rarely communicates with them.
Cangxing City is like a paradise standing on the seaside.
Of course, the people here have such a good life, which is also inseparable from the efforts of the city lord.
In the hundreds of years since they lost the management of Hanling Kingdom, the city lord of Cangxing City has been working hard to build itself, and has always adopted the method of light corvee and low taxes to allow the people to recuperate and recuperate.
Due to abundant resources and the ability to be self-sufficient, the lives of the people are much better than in other cities.
They don't have to worry about having food and clothing, nor do they have to worry about heavy work and rest. As long as they work hard, they will live a good life.
Now, the only thing they worry about is whether Cangxing City can continue like this after the royal family of Hanling Kingdom is gone, and whether it will fall into disputes and wars.
After Lu Xiaoyue finished shopping, she came to these conclusions and immediately made up her mind - as long as she went to personally inspect the city lord later, if the other party was not particularly outrageous, she would use the second method to let him go!
