Qi Tianlong had not yet found the opportunity to make a request to the Blood Ink God.
Unexpectedly, the Blood Ink God Lord spoke first.
His tone was calm and indifferent, without any emotion, making it impossible for anyone to guess his true thoughts.
Qi Tianlong was also unsure of the Blood Ink God Lord's intentions. Was he going to attack the Qi family?
After all, Blood Ink God Lord said that the city lord was killed, not that the city lord died!
One word difference, but different meanings.
Qi Tianlong also put down his wine glass and regained his composure. He nodded and said, "What the imperial envoy said is true. Lord Yuwen City was indeed killed. It happened a few days ago."
The Blood-Ink God said again: "I also heard that there is a festival between the Qi family and the city lord's mansion?"
After hearing this, the expressions of the two Qi family elders changed.
He immediately put down his wine glass and listened in silence without even wanting to eat or drink.
Qi Tianlong was under greater pressure and secretly worried.
But he remained calm on the surface and replied calmly: "Your Excellency is well-informed and this is indeed the case.
Speaking of the origin of the festival, we have to start from seventy years ago.
then……"
Qi Tianlong told the Blood Ink Lord the origin of the battle in Xuanguang Cave.
After hearing this, the Blood Ink God Lord nodded slightly and said, "So, the festival between the Qi family and the City Lord's Mansion is limited to the battle of Xuanguang Cave.
The City Lord's Mansion has been in control of the treasure house for seventy years. I thought I was sure of it, but unexpectedly lost the martial arts competition and the Xuanguang Cave was taken away by the Qi family...
Viscount Tianlong, is that so?"
Qi Tianlong of course nodded yes.
The old eunuch coughed twice, wiped the corners of his mouth with a square handkerchief, and asked in a high-pitched voice: "Although that treasure house can produce huge amounts of wealth every year, it is tempting.
But no matter what, you should not kill Yuwen Chengkong and his son.
After all, they were nobles granted the title by the king, the lord of the city under the rule of the Kingdom of God.
Viscount Tianlong, you can’t afford this crime, right?”
Qi Tianlong stood up with a "swish", quickly bowed and saluted, and said in a solemn tone: "My lord's words made Tianlong extremely frightened, and he would never agree with it!
As we all know, Yuwen Chengkong and his son died in the Sunset Sea, in the territory of the Black Shark Tribe.
This matter has nothing to do with the Qi family, and Tianlong will never break the law.
Moreover, when Yuwen Chengkong and his son died, Tianlong was waiting in the capital and had not yet returned to Qingshan City.
Please tell me, sir!"
The old eunuch nodded slightly and asked again: "You were not present when the incident happened, of course the king knows it.
But I heard that your Qi family has recruited a new worshiper, who is very powerful and capable."
The old eunuch obviously had other intentions.
Qi Tianlong smiled and replied respectfully: "Sir, you are joking. Tianxing enshrines the young, courageous, courageous and resourceful.
But this was all a trivial matter, and could not be judged by the two adults at all.
After all, he is just a young man who has not yet broken through to the divine king realm."
He did not defend Ji Tianxing and denied that he killed Yuwen Chengkong.
Instead, he explained to the imperial envoy and the old eunuch that Ji Tianxing had not yet reached the realm of the divine king.
Anyone who is not a fool will understand that it is impossible for a young man in the realm of gods to kill Yuwen Chengkong.
The old eunuch took a deep look at Qi Tianlong and said nothing.
The Blood Ink God smiled and said: "Viscount Tianlong, don't be nervous, we are just asking casually.
You are a newly promoted Viscount and a hero, how can we doubt the Qi family?"
Qi Tianlong also smiled and cupped his hands, saying: "Thank you two adults for understanding everything."
The Blood-Ink God nodded and said earnestly: "Remember what you said tonight, and don't let down the king's trust and title!"
Qi Tianlong responded quickly and took the opportunity to praise the monarch for his wisdom and martial prowess.
The Blood-Ink God was very pleased, and the old eunuch rarely smiled.
This dinner is about to end in this harmonious atmosphere.
However, Qi Tianlong mustered up his courage and said to the two of them: "Two adults, there is something that Tianlong is holding back in his heart, like a lump in his throat.
After much thought, Tianlong decided to ask the two adults for help!"
The Blood Ink God looked at him with interest and asked: "What's the matter?"
Qi Tianlong bent down and bowed, made a solemn salute, and said in a sincere tone: "Tianlong boldly asks the two adults to help Qingshan City establish a new master!
Now, the city lord and his son are dead, and the people in the city lord's mansion fled overnight.
The huge city lord's palace was empty of people, the city guard department was also panicked, and countless guards were passive and slow in their work.
The public security in the city deteriorated and gradually became chaotic.
In addition, the Kurosaki tribe in the Sunset Sea is also eyeing Qingshan City with great ambitions.
In recent days, residents in the city have become frightened and have many thoughts of fleeing.
Even disappearances, thefts and homicides occur frequently!"
Qi Tianlong's tone was quite sad, with a bit of heartbreaking worry.
“As the saying goes, a city cannot be left without its owner for a day.
There are already rumors spreading around Qingshan City that there is no owner, and the people's sentiments are floating and the city is in turmoil.
A family like our Qi family is still capable of protecting itself, trying its best to maintain order in the city and protect those people.
But our power is limited after all...
I also hope that you two adults will report the situation to the monarch and choose the city lord as soon as possible!
Otherwise, the three million people of Qingshan City will be in danger!"
After finishing speaking, Qi Tianlong bowed down and bowed deeply towards the Blood Ink God Lord and the old eunuch.
The Blood Ink God and the old eunuch looked at each other with strange expressions in their eyes.
One looked like he was smiling but not smiling, and the other had eyes full of approval.
The old eunuch nodded slightly and said: "Viscount Tianlong cares about the country and the people, and cares about the common people. This is really the blessing of Qingshan City."
The Blood-Ink Lord pondered for a moment and asked: "Viscount Tianlong, you are a noble who has been rooted in the city for hundreds of years, so you understand the situation better.
In this current situation, do you have any suggestions or ideas?"
The meaning of this sentence is already a bit interesting.
Qi Tianlong's heart felt hot and he was very grateful to this imperial envoy.
He quickly replied: "The situation in Qingshan City is accelerating its deterioration every day, and it has reached a very dangerous point.
In addition, the Black Shark tribe has been active recently and has a strong tendency to land southward.
Tianlong believes that this matter must be decided as soon as possible to stabilize people's hearts.
Of course, Tianlong also knew that the matter of selecting the city lord was of great importance and should not be taken lightly.
But things are pressing and we can make some changes.
It is better to temporarily appoint a person with both ability and political integrity to take charge of the overall situation.
First, appease the people and stabilize the situation in Qingshan City, so that the monarch will have enough time to consider..."
Hearing this, the old eunuch looked at him deeply again.
The Blood Ink God looked into the cave, considered it for a moment, then nodded and said: "This method is feasible. After all, the people are the foundation of the country, and the king does not want to see Qingshan City fall into chaos.
Viscount Tianlong, who do you think is the person with both ability and political integrity in this city who can take charge of the overall situation?"
Qi Tianlong pretended to think seriously for a moment and tried to ask: "The Yuchi family, the Feng family, and the Chi family are all virtuous and respected nobles. Choose one of the three."
The old eunuch's eyes became more and more playful.
The Blood-Ink God smiled and asked: "Then among the three heads of families you recommended, who has a title?"
"Uh..." Qi Tianlong was startled for a moment, shook his head and said, "That's not true."
"Without a title, how can you temporarily act as the city lord? This does not comply with the laws of the Kingdom of God!" The Blood-Ink Lord denied it.
Qi Tianlong looked embarrassed, frowned and muttered: "Then this will be difficult..."
The Blood Ink God looked at him with a smile and asked: "Viscount Tianlong, don't you plan to recommend yourself?"
Qi Tianlong was stunned for a moment and asked: "Sir, is this possible? Does it comply with the regulations?"
The Blood-Ink Lord smiled and said: "The laws of the Kingdom of God do not stipulate that you cannot recommend yourself.
Therefore, if you are willing to take on the responsibility of appeasing the people and calming down the situation, you can nominate yourself.
Moreover, you are the only noble in the city, so you are the most suitable."
