Qi Tianlong had not found a chance to make a request to Sir God Xue Mo.
Unexpectedly, Sir God Xue Mo spoke first.
His tone was calm and indifferent, without the slightest emotion, making it impossible for others to guess his true thoughts.
Qi Tianlong could not figure out Sir God Xue Mo's intention. Was he going to make things difficult for the Qi Family?
After all, Sir God Xue Mo said that the City Master was killed, not that the City Master was dead!
There was only one word difference, but the meaning was different.
Qi Tianlong put down his cup and calmed down. He nodded and said, "What the imperial envoy said is true. The City Master of Yuwen City was indeed killed. It happened a few days ago."
Sir God Xue Mo said again, "I also heard that the Qi Family and the City Master's Mansion have a grudge?"
Hearing this, the two elders of the Qi Family changed their faces.
They immediately put down their wine cups, not in the mood to eat or drink, and listened in silence.
Qi Tianlong was under more pressure. He was worried.
But he did not show it on his face. He replied calmly, "Sir, you are well-informed. There is indeed such a thing.
Speaking of the origin of the grudge, we have to start from 70 years ago.
That year … "
Qi Tianlong told Sir God Xue Mo the origin of the fight in the Dark Light Cave.
Sir God Xue Mo nodded and said, "So, the grudge between the Qi Family and the City Master's Mansion is only limited to the fight in the Dark Light Cave.
The City Master's Mansion has controlled the treasury for 70 years. They thought that it was in the bag. But they lost the Martial Arts Competition and the Dark Light Cave was taken away by the Qi Family …
Viscount Tianlong, is that true? "
Qi Tianlong nodded and said yes.
The old eunuch coughed and wiped his mouth with a square handkerchief. He asked in a sharp voice, "Although the treasury can produce a huge amount of wealth every year, it is very tempting.
But no matter what, you should not have killed Yuwen Chengkong and his son.
After all, they were nobles bestowed by the monarch and the city lords under the rule of the Divine Kingdom.
Viscount Tianlong, you can't bear this crime, right? "
Qi Tian Long quickly stood up and bowed. He said solemnly, "Your Excellency's words make Tianlong extremely fearful. I will never agree with you!
As everyone knows, Yuwen Chengkong and his son died in the Setting Sun Sea Area in the territory of the Black Mermaid Clan.
This matter has nothing to do with the Qi Family. Tianlong will not break the law.
Moreover, when Yuwen Chengkong and his son died, Sky Dragon was waiting for orders in the capital and had not yet returned to Green Mountain City.
Sirs, please judge clearly! "
The old eunuch nodded slightly and asked again, "You weren't there when it happened, so of course the monarch knows.
However, I've heard that your Qi Family has recruited a new consecrator. His strength and methods are very powerful. "
The old eunuch obviously meant something else.
With a smile on his face, Qi Tianlong replied respectfully, "My Lord, you must be joking. Tianxing is young and courageous, brave and resourceful.
However, these were all small skirmishes that couldn't even enter the discerning eyes of the two lords.
After all, he's just a young man who has yet to break through to the Divine Lord Realm. "
He did not defend Ji Tianxing and deny that he killed Yuwen Chengkong.
Instead, he explained to the imperial envoy and the old eunuch that Ji Tianxing had not yet reached the Divine Lord Realm.
As long as one wasn't an idiot, one would understand that it was impossible for a young Heavenly God Realm cultivator to kill Yuwen Chengkong.
The old eunuch took a deep look at Qi Tianlong and said nothing.
Sir God Xue Mo smiled and said, "Viscount Tian Long, don't be nervous. We are just asking casually.
You're a new Viscount and a meritorious official. Why would we suspect the Qi Family? "
Qi Tianlong also smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you, my Lords, for your insight."
Sir God Xue Mo nodded and said earnestly, "Remember what you've said tonight. Also, don't let down the monarch's trust and title!"
Qi Tianlong hurriedly agreed and took the opportunity to praise the king's wisdom and martial prowess, flattering him.
Sir God Xue Mo was gratified and the old eunuch also showed a rare smile.
The banquet was about to end in such a harmonious atmosphere.
However, Qi Tianlong plucked up his courage and said to the two lords, "My Lords, there's something that has been bothering Tianlong.
After much consideration, Tianlong has decided to ask for your help! "
Sir God Xue Mo looked at him with interest and asked, "What's the matter?"
Qi Tian Long bowed deeply and said in a sincere tone, "May Tian Long be so bold as to ask the two of you to help Qing Shan City find a new ruler?
Now, the City Lord and his son are dead and the people in the City Lord's Mansion have fled in the night.
The spacious City Lord's Mansion is empty and the people in the City Guard Department are in a panic. Countless guards are slacking off.
The security in the city is deteriorating and it is gradually becoming chaotic.
In addition, the Black Mermaids Tribe in the Sunset Sea Area is eyeing Qing Shan City covetously and they are full of ambition.
In recent days, the residents in the city are in a panic and many of them have the idea of escaping.
Even the cases of missing persons, theft and murder are breaking out frequently! "
Qi Tianlong's tone was sorrowful and there was a bit of worry in it.
"As the saying goes, a city can't be without a Lord.
Qing Shan City has no Lord and there are rumors everywhere. The people are restless and uneasy.
Aristocratic families like the Qi Family have the ability to protect themselves and try their best to maintain the order in the city and protect the residents.
However, our power is limited after all …
I hope the two lords can report the situation to the monarch and appoint a new Lord as soon as possible!
Otherwise, the three million people in Qing Shan City will be in danger! "
After saying that, Qi Tianlong bowed to Sir God Xue Mo and the old eunuch.
Sir God Xue Mo and the old eunuch looked at each other and there was a strange look in their eyes.
One was smiling faintly while the other was praising him.
The old eunuch nodded slightly and said, "Viscount Tian Long cares about the country and the people. You care about the people and it is the blessing of Qing Shan City."
Sir God Xue Mo pondered for a while and asked, "Viscount Tian Long, you are an aristocrat who has been in the city for hundreds of years. You know the situation better.
What suggestions do you have for the current situation? "
The meaning of this sentence was somewhat interesting.
Qi Tianlong felt warm in his heart and he was grateful to the imperial envoy.
He quickly replied, "The situation in Qing Shan City is deteriorating rapidly and it has reached a very dangerous stage.
In addition, the Black Mermaids Tribe has been very active recently and there is a tendency for them to go south.
Tian Long thinks that this matter must be decided as soon as possible to calm the people down.
Of course, Tian Long also knows that the appointment of a Lord is of great importance and it cannot be done rashly.
However, the situation is urgent and we can be flexible.
Why don't we appoint a person with both ability and integrity to take charge of the situation?
Calm the people down and stabilize the situation in Qing Shan City so that the monarch has enough time to consider … "
Hearing this, the old eunuch took a deep look at him again.
Sir God Xue Mo looked at the cave and pondered for a while. He nodded and said, "This method is feasible. After all, the people are the foundation of the country. The monarch doesn't want Qing Shan City to fall into chaos.
Viscount Tian Long, who do you think is a person with both ability and integrity who can take charge of the situation? "
Qi Tianlong pretended to think seriously and asked, "Master Yuchi, Master Feng and Master Chi are all prestigious aristocratic families. I can choose one of the three."
The old eunuch's eyes became more and more playful.
Sir God Xue Mo smiled and asked, "Among the three masters you recommend, who has a title?"
"Er …" Qi Tianlong was stunned and shook his head, "No."
"How can you be the temporary Lord of the City if you don't have a title? This is not in accordance with the laws of the Kingdom of God! "Sir God Xue Mo denied.
Qi Tianlong frowned and muttered, "Then it's not easy to deal with this …"
Sir God Xue Mo looked at him with a smile and asked, "Viscount Tian Long, are you not going to recommend yourself?"
Qi Tianlong was stunned for a moment before he asked, "My Lord, is this even possible? Is it in accordance with the laws? "
Sir God Xue Mo smiled and said, "The laws of the Kingdom of God don't stipulate that you can't recommend yourself.
Therefore, if you are willing to take the responsibility of calming the people down, you can recommend yourself.
