"It's fine, I also expected that you wouldn't be able to get anything out of it." Feng Hao laughed. He had already guessed it when he saw the mysterious woman in the Vice Commander's residence. She wouldn't be able to get anything out of this trip.
"Yes, you can't be trying to tell me that the commotion has something to do with you, right?" Emperor Le's eyes widened. She seemed to have thought of something. Then, she looked at Fenghao with excitement and said, "Quick, tell me what you've found."
Feng Hao nodded his head and suddenly asked, "Right, did you see the City Lord in the City Lord's residence?"
Hearing Empress Le's question, Empress Le was startled. She exchanged a glance with Nangong Wuji and nodded her head, "I did. Although I couldn't see her true appearance, she mobilized her guards. It seems like something has happened."
"She's actually here." Feng Hao was also stunned. Could it be that she wasn't the City Lord?
Immediately, Fenghao recounted the conversation he had heard in the Vice Commander's mansion in full detail so that Empress Le and the others could analyze it. After all, Empress Le clearly had a better understanding of the situation in Drifting Cloud City.
After listening to Fenghao's explanation, everyone in the room fell into silence. Le Huang bitterly knitted his brows. Evidently, the situation in the Drifting Cloud City was more complicated than he had expected.
After pondering for a while, Emperor Le raised her head and said, "According to Feng Hao's conversation, it should be like this. The Vice Commander has been colluding with Immortal for a long time, but the City Lord doesn't know about it. Furthermore, he is trying to obtain the City Lord's position."
"Later on, with the Vice Commander's help, those from Immortal kidnapped the City Lord's younger sister and used it to threaten her, implanting an Immortal Gu in her. Under such circumstances, the City Lord of Drifting Cloud City naturally became a member of Immortal."
Upon hearing this, Feng Hao nodded his head. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "However, I am a little puzzled. The city lord doesn't seem to want to deal with us."
"Yes, why do you say that?" Emperor Le was slightly taken aback. He didn't quite understand Feng Hao's words.
"Because when I was investigating, I met another person. She had the same goal as me, although I was almost exposed because of her." Feng Hao said in a heavy voice, in this situation, even if this city lord was implanted with an Immortal Gu, he was not an enemy.
"Is that so?" Hearing that, Empress Le fell into deep thought and rubbed her forehead. The current situation seemed to be even more complicated. Just what was the relationship between the City Lord and the Deputy Commander?
"If I have not guessed wrongly, the city governor has also vaguely guessed that the deputy commander is in cahoots with the 'Immortal' organization. Therefore, the person who sneaked in like me tonight should belong to the city governor." Feng Hao pondered for a moment before he slowly voiced out his opinion.
"Furthermore, from their conversation, we know that the kidnapping of the City Lord's younger sister is related to the Immortal. Furthermore, the City Lord was forced to implant an Immortal Gu in her to work for Immortal."
Emperor Le's eyes shone when he heard this. He had also thought of something and said, "You're saying that Immortal wants to use the City Lord to deal with us, and then put all the blame on the City Lord?"
"In this way, the Vice Commander will be able to rightfully become the City Lord of Drifting Cloud City. He might even be able to come into contact with some of the secrets of High Firmament City. At that time, all the crimes will be placed on the City Lord and no one will suspect him."
Feng Hao smiled. "That's right, that's what I mean."
"That is to say, the City Lord doesn't seem to be an enemy." Nangong Wuji pondered for a long time. Such a complicated problem simply made him rack his brains. But in the end, he concluded that the City Lord was a friend, not an enemy.
Emperor Le and Feng Hao looked at each other and smiled. "You can say that, but it's not entirely correct, because we can't be sure."
Emperor Le pondered for a while and said, "If that's the case, I'm afraid we'll have to think of a countermeasure. Otherwise, if anything happens, we will also be in a passive position."
"Perhaps we can beat them at their own game." Feng Hao smiled mysteriously. Since they already had a conclusion, they could easily come up with a countermeasure.
"Hmm, let's hear it." Emperor Le laughed. If Feng Hao's plan was feasible, they might have a chance to turn the situation around.
"Right now, no matter who it is, whether it's the Immortal, the City Lord or the Deputy Commander, they should all know that we are in Drifting Cloud City." Fenghao nodded and said, "Although I don't know why they didn't attack us."
"However, before they attack us, we can find our own allies."
"Allies? Who else in Drifting Cloud City can be our ally?" Nangong Wuji asked in confusion.
Emperor Le fell into deep thought. After a while, he slowly said, "You mean, we should contact the City Lord of Drifting Cloud City."
Feng Hao nodded his head and said: "Now we are very clear that she seems to want to deal with us, but it is only because her sister was kidnapped and even had an Immortal Gu planted in her body. If we can help her resolve these two matters, we might be able to turn the tables on her once."
"But the problem is that neither you nor I can be sure what her attitude is." The Music Empress furrowed her brows. Although what Fenghao said sounded feasible, it was actually very risky. It was equivalent to taking a gamble.
"My intuition tells me that the City Lord doesn't want to stand together with Immortal." Feng Hao smiled. If the City Lord had submitted, she wouldn't have sent someone to the vice commander's residence to eavesdrop.
She must have been looking for an opportunity, but she didn't expect that Immortal had already joined forces with the vice commander to plot against her while she was thinking of a way to get rid of Immortal.
"Are you confident?" Emperor Le hesitated for a moment before taking a glance at Feng Hao.
"Yes. However, I will have to interact with her in order to know exactly what happened." Fenghao took a deep breath. Immediately, a thought flashed through his mind. Since this matter had already happened, why not strike the iron while it was hot? Take this opportunity to make a trip to the City Lord's Mansion.
