In the end, those guests still left. Although he already knew that this would happen, when he saw all the people around him had left, Qing Hai was still somewhat disappointed.
After all, these guests had been in his Qing Family for quite a number of years. Unexpectedly, when the real danger arrived, not a single one of them could stay.
However, what caused him to be pleasantly surprised was that Cheng Yu, who had followed him for the shortest amount of time, had yet to leave. He had been standing beside him quietly.
"Mr. Hu, why aren't you leaving?" Qing Hai looked at Cheng Yu with some hope.
However, he felt that Cheng Yu might have something to say to him. After all, even those who had followed him for such a long time had left. Cheng Yu had only been in the Qing Family for a few months. Even if Cheng Yu wanted to leave, it was only natural.
"If I leave, who will protect you?" Cheng Yu smiled faintly.
"You aren't leaving?" This time, Qing Hai was truly shocked.
Looking at Cheng Yu's relaxed expression, there seemed to be no nervousness or worry in his eyes. It seemed like he really didn't want to leave.
"How can this be fake?" Cheng Yu smiled.
Looking at Cheng Yu's smiling face and the sincerity in his eyes, Qing Hai was touched. The disappointment he felt when those people left had all disappeared at this moment.
He was very clear that those people were a bunch of cowards. It was only natural for them to leave. Therefore, during this period of time, he had always regarded Cheng Yu highly.
Now, from the looks of it, his thoughts were indeed correct. To be able to accompany you through thick and thin in times of danger, this was a person that could truly be trusted.
"Mr. Hu, I am very touched that you are willing to stay behind. Among all the guests, you had followed me for the shortest amount of time. However, I never expected that the one who was willing to stay behind to face thick and thin with me was you.
However, what those people said wasn't completely unreasonable. Currently, in the entire Cyanwood City, my situation is the most dangerous. So, my life is definitely going to end here.
Besides, my Qing Family has been operating in Cyanwood City for generations. Regardless of being the city lord or the Qing Family Patriarch, I cannot leave Cyanwood City.
However, I still have a presumptuous request. I hope that Mr. Hu can escort my wife and child out of Cyanwood City. As long as Mr. Hu can promise me, I am willing to gift all the resources in the city lord manor to Mr. Hu, "Qing Hai looked at Cheng Yu and spoke solemnly.
"City Lord, don't be so anxious. Things aren't as bad as you think. These people might not be interested in you? "Cheng Yu shook his head.
"Mr. Hu, what do you mean?" Qing Hai asked, confused.
"Actually, the reason is very simple. Let's go back to the mansion first. After being tormented for so long, let's go back and rest first!" Cheng Yu smiled as he walked towards the direction of the City Lord Mansion.
"Mr. Hu, what do you mean by this? This isn't a joke, and time is of the essence. You should hurry and take my wife and child out of the city. "Qing Hai hurriedly followed. He also wanted to go back and call his wife and child.
"City Lord, do you think that Green Wood City's Gui Longying or Xiao Hai has anything to do with you?" Cheng Yu asked as he walked.
Qing Hai thought for a moment and said, "This … naturally doesn't matter. Regardless of whether it's Gui Longying or Gui Xiaohai, Cyanwood City just needs to hand over enough resources to them every year."
"Isn't that right? Since that's the case, what else do you have to worry about? Isn't it obvious now? The moment they entered the city, they charged towards the west side where Gui Longying was located. But until now, they still haven't made a move on the City Lord Mansion. What does this mean? "Cheng Yu continued.
"What does it mean?" Hearing Cheng Yu's words, Qing Hai's mind lit up. He seemed to have thought of something, but he wasn't very clear about it.
"This means that even if they were to take over Green Wood City, they will not make a move on you. Because what they want is a matter of ownership. As long as Green Wood City belongs to Xiao Hai, as for who the City Lord is, it doesn't matter to him.
Besides, City Lord Qing's prestige in Green Wood City is very high. Under your governance, Green Wood City is developing very well. If Xiao Hai were to take over Green Wood City, he would naturally hope that Green Wood City would be able to stabilize in the shortest amount of time possible.
And in Green Wood City, who is able to do this? Isn't it City Lord Qing? Since it's so, why would they want to kill you? "Cheng Yu replied nonchalantly.
"Mr. Hu's words seem to be very reasonable. Could it be that they really won't make a move on me?" While following Cheng Yu and listening to Cheng Yu's words, Qing Hai's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"That's natural. If they really wanted to change the City Lord, why would they only go to the west side of the city? Isn't this giving you time and opportunity to escape? Therefore, from the beginning, they never thought of changing the City Lord. What they want is to kill all the people from Dragon Hawk! "
"But I am also from Dragon Hawk!" Although Cheng Yu said it very confidently, Qing Hai still didn't have any confidence in his heart.
After all, all of this was Cheng Yu's speculation. But if Cheng Yu's speculation was wrong, wouldn't it mean that their entire family would die?
"Is that so? But the Dragon Hawk Outer Palace and Xiao Hai Outer Palace don't think so. What do you think? "Cheng Yu turned around and looked at Qing Hai with a smile.
"This … seems to be the case!" Qing Hai was stunned for a moment before smiling awkwardly.
Indeed, in the eyes of Dragon Hawk, he really couldn't be considered as a Dragon Hawk person. Although these City Lords usually seemed to be very impressive in front of outsiders, in front of these Dragon Hawk people, they really didn't have any status at all.
Moreover, their relationship with Dragon Hawk was more like an exchange of benefits. Even if Ru City had already attacked Cyanwood City, he still needed to pay Elder Qin to borrow troops. Otherwise, even if he saw Cyanwood City being breached, it didn't seem to have anything to do with them.
Therefore, whether this Cyanwood City was under the jurisdiction of Dragon Hawk or Xiao Hai, it was all the same. To him, it was just a matter of who he would give this year's resources to.
If it was under the jurisdiction of Dragon Hawk, then the resources would be handed over to Dragon Hawk; if it was under the jurisdiction of Xiao Hai, then the resources would be handed over to Xiao Hai
"Isn't that so? Actually, whether it's Dragon Hawk or Xiao Hai, it's all the same. Therefore, they don't care who the City Lord of the city is. All they want is for you to be able to hand over enough resources to them every year. That's enough Cheng Yu said.
"So, I'm really safe now?" After being reminded by Cheng Yu, Qing Hai really felt that this was the case.
"Naturally, so you don't have to worry so much. Besides, if they really come looking for you, you can just say that you're going to rely on Xiao Hai. "Cheng Yu said indifferently.
"Want me to rely on Xiao Hai?" Qing Hai suddenly hesitated. It would be fine if these people didn't kill him, but if he were to publicly rely on Xiao Hai, his reputation wouldn't be good.
"Do you think you have a choice?" Cheng Yu said indifferently
