Su Tang and Wang Mu followed Meng Shao towards the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Both of them had a lot of questions in their minds, but in this situation, they couldn't find any opportunity to ask each other, so they could only suppress them.

Su Tang looked around curiously.

The environment of the dead city is quite windy and sandy, and the buildings are originally rough, with most of the materials used being stone, rather than bricks or wood. After the city lord Meng Liangguang led his men to station here and gradually built the dead city, he adhered to this style, and all the places that were destroyed in the end times and needed to be rebuilt were now only more solid.

However, this time, what they are guarding against is no longer the wind and sand, but the zombies and beasts outside.

Su Tang secretly memorized the path she had walked, and at the same time she felt that this place was worthy of being the City Lord's Mansion. Everyone she occasionally met was a psychic, and their levels were probably higher than hers.

What puzzled her was that these people's attitude towards Mr. Meng was quite subtle.

Submissive, but not too respectful.

It seems like it has to be so.

And what about this man?

He was not friendly to anyone, nor did he put on any pretense. He just nodded and greeted everyone and then continued on his way.

Su Tang became even more curious about his identity.

It didn't take long for the group of three to arrive in front of the main hall.

This was originally the main hall of the temple, but now it has become the meeting hall of the city lord's mansion. There were guards at the door, but they did not stop people and let them in directly.

The space inside is very large, with a long stone table in the middle and stone benches around it.

Sitting in the main seat opposite them was a middle-aged man, about fifty years old, with a broad face, broad eyebrows and big eyes, and a very strong body. When Su Tang saw his hand on the table, his first feeling was that there really was such a thing as a palm-leaf fan in the world.

The other party was in a good mood and even forced a smile when he saw them.

Su Tang blinked. "Have you ever seen a bear laugh? I have... But it's more like baring its teeth than laughing..."

This person should be Meng Liangguang, the lord of the Dead City!

As she was thinking, the person in front of her spoke, "Father, the people are here. These two are the makers of the wine pourer, Wang Mu and his apprentice..."

Father? !

He is actually the city lord's son!

Su Tang opened his eyes wide and a light bulb went off in his head: Meng Huo!

Yes, the protagonist has an older brother named Meng Huo, and the two seem to have a bad relationship because of competing for the position of heir to the Dead City... But now Meng Xiang is called the young city lord, presumably, he has lost the competition.

She was a little dazed. No wonder those people on the street treated him like that.

On the other side, Meng Huo paused, then suddenly turned around and asked, "What's your name?"

She was startled for a moment, then reacted. While secretly complaining that she didn't need to ask, she answered honestly, "Su Tang."

Meng Huoshen glanced at her, then turned back and continued, "Aren't you worried about not having enough time? Now that there's one more person, it should be no problem."

Meng Liangguang nodded, looking very satisfied, "Sit down and talk."

He turned to Wang Mu and said, "The wine pourer is well made. However, I need a more beautiful and exquisite one now. Remember, the shape cannot be repeated. How about this, I will give you a month. You don't have to worry about the materials and compensation. Just concentrate on making the product well. I believe the City Lord's Mansion will satisfy you with the rest."

His attitude was very firm, as if he believed that the other party would not refuse.

In fact, Wang Mu did not want to refuse. The price of selling things to the City Lord's Mansion was too high, and it was definitely not affordable for others! The only problem he was worried about before was that Su Tang could not come back in time, but now, he was really confused! It turned out that the wine pourer was already ingenious, but the other party was still not satisfied... Isn't this obviously embarrassing!

Even if it was Su Tang...

He glanced over and found that although she had her eyes slightly lowered, she looked relaxed and stress-free.

Could it be that she is very sure?

Wang Mu hesitated and didn't dare to nod, while Meng Liangguang on the other side was already getting impatient.

"Why, you can't do it?"

The deliberately prolonged voice lacked some intimacy and contained some more pressure from someone in a higher position.

Wang Mu Yilin subconsciously replied quickly, "It can be done, it can be done..."

"That's good."

Meng Liangguang waved to Meng Huo, indicating the end of the conversation.

After leaving the main hall, Su Tang faced Wang Mu's anxious eyes and said softly, "Master, believe in yourself, there will be no problem." The previous design of the wine pourer was good, but it was made in a hurry after all, and it was indeed not beautiful and exquisite enough. Now that she has more time, she believes that she can make a better one.

Wang Mu then slightly relaxed his tense shoulders.

Meng Huo, who was walking in front, seemed oblivious to the interaction between the two and just asked them to follow.

But, it was not the way they came. Su Tang endured it, but still couldn't help asking, "Master, aren't we going back to the furniture store to prepare?"

It was Meng Huo who answered her, "Until you have made the wine pourer, you must stay in the City Lord's Mansion."

Wang Mu laughed broadly, "This is good. I don't have to worry about safety or food here. I can concentrate on my work!"

I think you want to take this opportunity to drink for free! Su Tang complained and immediately thought of his own situation. After being delayed for so long, Meng Xiang might have been discovered. If he knew that I was still here...

She scratched her head hard, what a trouble!

She thought of a solution as she walked, but when she arrived at the destination, she still hadn't figured out a solution.

Even if the other party would not do anything ruthless because she was still useful, she would definitely not have a good life. Moreover, the wine pourer would eventually be finished. If the other party was still angry after a month, not only would she be in trouble, but Wang Mu would also be implicated.

Fortunately, there is still a month left.

There is always a way out, there is always a solution!

She sighed, straightened her back, and now she had arrived at the place where they would be living for the next month.

This is an isolated independent courtyard.

There are various production tools on the workbench in the yard, and you can tell at a glance that they are new.

Meng Huo waited for them to look through it before he said slowly, "Make a list of what you need as soon as possible, and I'll send someone to deliver it. Try not to go out, the guards outside the door will ensure your safety."

"I understand, don't worry."

Meng Huo nodded seriously.

Watching his back disappear outside the door, Su Tang grabbed Wang Mu's arm and dragged him into the house.

"Xiao Su, why are you so anxious? Wait, did you just say you could make a new wine pourer just to comfort me? Can't you make it? This is bad! What should I do? Let me think, let me think...

"Boss!" She interrupted him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "It's not about this! I have something else to tell you."

"No? Oh, then I'm relieved!"

Su Tang twitched the corners of his lips and was about to speak when the door was kicked open with a bang.

Meng Xiang stood at the door, his face livid, and deep marks of strangulation on his wrists that were accidentally exposed. Behind him was the guard of the courtyard who was restrained by someone.
