Su Tang asked Qiao Mingxi to come over and inquire about the situation in the southern city.

Originally, she didn't want to tell her about Qiao Li, but she was quite smart and she knew something was wrong as soon as she started talking.

"Qiao Li... is he in trouble?"

Su Tang, Meng Huo and Zhang Chenxi looked at each other and knew that they could no longer hide the truth, so they simply said, "Yes, it is said that a monster appeared in the southern city and attacked Qiao Li. He is now unconscious. We are worried about the situation in the city, so we want to know who else might compete for the position of city lord besides Qiao Li's faction. Now that we know the answer, we can make plans early."

They all mentioned making early plans, so Qiao Li must have been seriously injured. Qiao Mingxi was stunned for a long time before she dimmed her eyes and started talking about the Southern City.

The system of the Southern City is different from that of the Central City. Here, the military and politics are integrated.

In other words, most of the power is concentrated in the hands of the city lord. Whether it is construction matters within the city or sending troops outside the city, they must be approved by Qiao Li before they can be carried out.

Therefore, once Qiao Li collapses, disputes are bound to arise.

The military has two divisions. The commander of the first division, Pang, is a die-hard fan of Qiao Li. It was his urging that Qiao Li could firmly sit on the position of city lord. Commander Pang is over 40 years old this year, and his children are all dead. He should be on the side of protecting Qiao.

Commander Cheng of the Second Division was recommended by a family in the city, and seemed to be the closest to the Wu family.

The Wu, Kong, Fang, and Zhang families were once the direct descendants of the previous city lord. When the previous city lord died, he had no children. They were sure that Qiao Li was a good candidate for the city lord, so they took him as their successor. Later, when Qiao Li took the position of city lord, his abilities were rapidly promoted, his strength was outstanding, and he was good at judging people in management. With the support of Master Pang, the city was stable.

This is the case when Qiao Li is around, but once Qiao Li is unconscious or dead, they will probably all have ideas about the position of the city lord.

"... Wu Kong, Fang Zhang, they are allies. In terms of strength, they are roughly evenly matched. In the past, Qiao Li was well versed in the art of checks and balances, and they were relatively peaceful, but after that, it's hard to say. Among them, the Wu family and the Fang family have more outstanding children, while the other two families are slightly declining. In general, the Wu family and the Fang family are most likely to come to the fore."

After saying this, Qiao Mingxi kept silent.

Meng Huo suddenly asked, "Do you know the origin of that monster?"

Qiao Mingxi trembled for a moment, and after a while, she said, "I don't know." Meng Huo glanced at her twice and didn't press the issue any further.

After that, they asked a few more questions, and Qiao Mingxi answered them one by one, in a very objective and organized tone. When everyone stopped talking, Su Tang nodded, gave the others a look, and pulled her out of the office.

The two left the office building in silence, strolled in the base, and finally came to the flower bed where Qiao Mingxi loved to sit.

Su Tang recalled, "I was shocked when I saw you here when I just returned to the base."

After a moment, Qiao Mingxi touched her face and said, "Yes, I was very scary at that time." She had eaten well and rested well in the base during this period, so she naturally gained some weight. Although she was still thin, she no longer looked like a skeleton. She had grown some flesh on her face and body, and her complexion was much better.

"You're much prettier now." Su Tang smiled, turned around and sat on the edge of the flower bed, leaning back and looking at her. "Actually, I've always wanted to ask you, how did you get to this point with Qiao Li? I wonder if you'd like to tell me?"

Qiao Mingxi looked at her suddenly, his eyes suddenly sharp, "You know it's Qiao Li?!"

Su Tang tilted his head and said, "Could there be anyone else? With your status, if you hadn't fallen out with Qiao Li, how could he not protect you and let you be bullied by others?"

Qiao Mingxi was stunned there, and suddenly he uttered "Oh", "Yes, I was stupid. Apart from him, who else would dare to do this to me! Only him!"

"His life or death is uncertain now. Do you want to go back and see him?" Su Tang asked casually.

Qiao Mingxi sneered, "See him? No, no, I won't. He hates me, and he wants me to die, but I can't die easily, I have to suffer torture before I can die! Why should I see him! He...he doesn't deserve to be my brother at all!"

She cast her eyes towards the sky for a long while before she murmured, "You don't know, but actually, I envy Mingmei very much. She has been liked by him since she was a child. In his eyes, even if she can't do anything and doesn't do anything, she is still good. But I am just the opposite. No matter what I do, no matter how well I do it, I can't make him look at me even once."

"We don't have parents. People say that an elder brother is like a father, and I used to respect and please him like a father. I never expected... I didn't expect that reality would be much more cruel than I imagined! He hated our mother, and he hated me, and he even hated himself. The only person he loved in his life was Mingmei... But Mingmei is dead..."

She turned her head and smiled at Su Tang, "You must not know that Mingmei's death was actually planned by her and me, including framing you and the base commander... At that time, I was still very stupid. I thought Mingmei was dead, and I helped him get rid of Xueluo, the rising star, so he would definitely value me. Unfortunately..."

As she spoke, her voice choked up, and she suddenly covered her face with her hands and began to sob softly.

Su Tang raised her eyebrows and patted her shoulder. Qiao Mingxi suddenly seemed to have found support and threw herself on her and burst into tears.

Su Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

What is this?

It was not easy to ask more questions at the moment, so he could only comfort her. After she cried for a while and calmed down a little, Su Tang said, "Since you don't want to go back, just stay here. Anyway, he is unconscious now and it is impossible for him to cause trouble."

Qiao Mingxi raised her face with sobs, her eyes full of emotion, "Actually, I have always wanted to say something, thank you, thank you for taking me in!"

"Nothing, you're helping us too."

Qiao Mingxi hummed softly, slowly wiped away her tears, and calmed herself down.

After a moment, she suddenly said, "The monster you are talking about...if I'm not mistaken, it should be Mingmei!"

"What?" Su Tang widened his eyes in disbelief.

Qiao Mingxi seemed to have made up his mind and looked at her firmly. "Qiao Li said that he would rather turn her into a zombie than let her stay with him! Some time ago, he contacted some people whose origins I didn't know to come to the Southern City, and then asked them to transform Mingmei's body! In order to torture me, he let me see it once, and the scene... was disgusting. He has gone crazy, and I really couldn't accept this kind of thing, so I desperately escaped when he was away. I wanted to find someone to stop him, but when I saw you, I didn't have the courage to say it. Until..."

Su Tang put her hand on her temple. The truth about this monster was beyond her expectations!

Now, she just felt a severe headache and was unable to think.

The scenery in front of me seems to be getting blurry little by little...

How is this going? !

She raised her head and looked in a certain direction. Was that Meng Huo?
