Yun Lingxi followed Zhou Zhenyang out of the wing and down the stairs.

In the lobby on the first floor of Chengxiao Tower, two teenagers and three girls stood aside, as if waiting for something.

Guan Ying and Guan Bo'an were also among them. In front of them stood a young girl with a beautiful face, dignified and elegant.

Yun Lingxi quietly took a look and followed her cousin silently.

Zhou Zhenyang led Yun Lingxi downstairs without squinting, and walked straight towards the door.

When several people saw the two of them coming downstairs, they straightened their bodies and prepared to go up and say hello.

Unexpectedly, the two of them didn't even look at them, and walked past them towards the door.

Several people were stunned for a moment, Guan Mingzhu frowned, and the Ping family brother and sister were dissatisfied.

These two people were not as old as they were, yet they were showing off in front of them!

Guan Ying and Guan Bo'an remained silent. They had already experienced how difficult it was for these people to get along.

Today they are just here to go through the motions, but they are just a foil. How to do it depends on the sister.

"You two, please stay." Guan Mingzhu frowned and called.

Zhou Zhenyang continued to walk forward with Yun Lingxi, ignoring him.

Seeing the two of them, he ignored them and was about to walk out the door.

Guan Mingzhu took a breath, then turned and said, "You two adults, please stay."

Zhou Zhenyang slowly stopped, and Yun Lingxi also stopped.

She finally saw that these people in the mountain city were bullying them for their young age and didn't take them seriously.

And none of them in this group is a good person. Among the group of children from aristocratic families in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they all walk sideways. They rarely take people seriously, let alone this little person in their hands now. It’s a mountain city!

You are willing to pay attention to them because they are from outside. Don't go too far. Otherwise, in the big week, you will see if they will pay attention to you!

Now, it is because I have taken a liking to the practitioners from various families in this city and want to use them. Otherwise, I guess they might be too lazy to bother with it!

Although I can't ignore it now, I can't weaken the reputation of the City Lord's Mansion. I must suppress every family in the city and force them to bow their heads!

If you don't bow your head, then I can ignore you. Why are you not as strong as me?

Zhou Zhenyang tilted his head slightly, "Is the girl calling us?"

Knowingly ask!

Guan Mingzhu took a deep breath, took two steps forward slowly, nodded slightly and said, "Exactly, I heard that the two adults are here, so Mingzhu came here specifically to meet you."

"Is something wrong?" Zhou Zhenyang asked calmly, his tone not good.

The corner of Yun Lingxi's mouth couldn't help but twitch, what's going on with this familiar scene!

Guan Mingzhu was stunned, her heart sank slightly, and she said, "Mingzhu came here specifically to express her gratitude to the Lord."

"We don't know the girl, so I wonder where this thank you comes from?" Zhou Zhenyang asked.

Guan Mingzhu's eyes darkened slightly: "The steward had an enmity with the former city lord Huashan because of Mingzhu. Your masters, taking down the city lord's mansion also relieved my steward's danger, so Mingzhu came to express his thanks."

Zhou Zhenyang turned around and said calmly: "Our capture of the City Lord's Mansion has nothing to do with the housekeeper, so there is no need for the girl to take any extra steps."

After saying that, Zhou Zhenyang walked away. Yun Lingxi glanced at Guan Mingzhu, turned around and followed.

After leaving Chengxiao Tower, Zhou Zhenyang took two slow steps and walked side by side with Yun Lingxi. He turned to look at his cousin and asked, "Do you know what they are here for?"

"Just testing." Yun Lingxi said calmly.

Zhou Zhenyang smiled and said, "There is progress."

Yun Lingxi rolled her eyes at her cousin and sighed in her heart, trouble!

But then he asked with some confusion: "Didn't you tell them the attitude of the City Lord's Mansion? What else do they want to know? Why don't you just go to the City Lord's Mansion and come here to find us?"

Zhou Zhenyang glanced sideways at his cousin: "Do you know what attitude you are showing?"

Yun Lingxi froze, "Uh, what's your attitude?"

Zhou Zhenyang rolled his eyes, turned around and replied: "No attitude."

Yun Lingxi felt that this cousin probably needed repairs again!

Seeing that his cousin didn't speak, Zhou Zhenyang quickly explained: "I really don't have any attitude, I just want them to abide by the rules set by the city lord's palace.

So far, there are only three instructions issued by the city lord's palace. First, if you encounter uncertainties in the mountains outside the city, you can go to the city lord's palace for help. Second, no trouble is allowed in the city, and no fights are allowed. Third, open the city gates and no fees will be charged for entry and exit. "

"Uh, that's all?"

Yun Lingxi was surprised, but thinking about it, they were not sure whether they would stay or not, so they only needed to maintain stability for the time being, which was reasonable.

"That's all." Zhou Zhenyang replied with a firm tone.

Yun Lingxi thought for a while and said:

"So, maybe these families in the city are not very stable and want to know more, or what they hope the new city lord can do, so they came to test us and want to find out more information?"

"Smart." Zhou Zhenyang praised his cousin and received a look from Yun Lingxi.

"Then why don't they go to the City Lord's Mansion?"

Zhou Zhenyang thought for a while and said, "Maybe Wei Zizhuang has been in a bad mood recently, which scared them, and they don't dare to get into trouble."

Yun Lingxi was surprised, "What's wrong with him? Why is he in a bad mood?"

"I don't know, maybe he is worried about his eldest sister." Zhou Zhenyang said casually.

"What happened to his eldest sister?" Yun Lingxi asked doubtfully.

Wei Zizhuang has a very good relationship with his two sisters. His parents were not around since he was a child, so his grandfather took him with him to raise him. His eldest sister took care of everything in his life since he was a child.

If something happens to his eldest sister, he probably won't feel at ease.

Zhou Zhenyang thought for a while and said: "His eldest sister was in danger some time ago, but fortunately, she was in danger and resolved safely, otherwise he would not be so calm now."

Yun Lingxi felt relieved a little, "Then what else is he worried about?"

Zhou Zhenyang sighed and said: "His eldest sister got married, and she married a disciple of the martial arts sect. That sect is still a very important presence in the martial arts sect, and it is the main force in the martial arts sect that competes with the imperial court."

Yun Lingxi frowned: "Then why did she marry? When did it happen?"

The main force that competes with the imperial court should not be against the imperial court. The Wei family plays an important role in the imperial court. Wei Zizhuang's grandfather is still the chief minister. As the direct daughter of the Wei family, she should not be associated with such a martial arts sect. That’s right!

Zhou Zhenyang thought for a while and said: "It's been more than a year, I don't know the details.

But you also know that if the imperial court wants to clean up the martial arts sects, it will definitely end up partying with these martial arts sects.

However, it would be most beneficial if other methods could be used to neutralize the resistance, clean up those who tried their best to resist the imperial court at the minimum cost, and then use the rest for their own use.

The imperial court wants to maximize its interests, and those who strongly oppose the imperial court's involvement in martial arts will naturally find ways to undermine it.

Wei Xian, who married into the martial arts sect, was the eldest sister of Wei Zizhuang and became the bridge between martial arts and the imperial court. Naturally, those people wanted to find ways to get rid of her.

Although one crisis has been avoided, there will definitely be another one in the future, but I don’t know what methods those people will use. "

Yun Lingxi thought for a while but said nothing.

She didn't know these things, and she hadn't heard them say it. If her cousin hadn't told her, she didn't know when she would have known about it.

But thinking about it, it is not so easy to encounter danger. After all, the Wei family is behind her, and it is also related to the Zhou court and the sect she married into.

Those who want to deal with her, what they want most is definitely not her life, but how to use her to cause confrontation between several parties!

After all, if you steal the chicken but lose the rice, you will end up being resented by several parties at the same time.

Zhou Zhenyang saw that his cousin had no reaction after hearing this, and was a little speechless: "Aren't you worried?"

"What are you worried about?" Yun Lingxi wondered.

Zhou Zhenyang hates the fact that iron cannot become steel: "You should at least show some concern."

Yun Lingxi was helpless: "I can't help you much."
