"Just right." Seeing Chuntao was interested in raising a pet, Mu Hanxing put Chenchen in her arms, "When you have nothing to do, you can help me raise Chenchen. I have something important to discuss with Gong Yu. Take him to prepare a pigpen... No, prepare a nest, so that he can have a good rest."

"Chenchen? Okay!" Chuntao was so happy that she held the piglet and went to find a nest for it.

Mu Hanxing brought Gong Yu to the main hall to discuss matters.

The discussion was not so serious and restrained when there were only two people. Mu Hanxing sat in the main seat in the hall, and Gong Yu sat next to her and listened quietly.

"It's like this. I came down to the mortal world to discuss something with you. See if you can perform a fake ritual in the palace, something like that, to show that I will have a great disaster this year, but that I will be blessed after surviving the disaster. After rebirth, I will be unstoppable. And the most important thing." Mu Hanxing stared at him intently, looking very serious. "I was really lustful before, which hurt the country and caused trouble. In order to prevent this from happening again, you can pretend to calculate the celestial phenomena, the five elements and the eight trigrams, and anyway, just say that I should not be close to women in the next few years."

After she finished speaking, Gong Yu's eyes were filled with shock. He asked her excitedly, "Lord City Lord, have you finally figured it out?"

She was no longer a lustful tyrant! He was ecstatic!

Of course she had figured it out, and she didn't like the male concubines in the harem. If she didn't use the palace to find a legitimate reason to be "forced" not to touch them, her identity would soon be exposed.

Mu Hanxing responded, "Well, I have to concentrate on cultivation recently, and I have to manage the government myself. I have many miscellaneous things to do, so I can't take care of the harem. There is another thing. The invaders are coming, and I have internal injuries that need to be recuperated for a while. It is impossible for me to take revenge one by one in a short time. I need to make more preparations. Tomorrow you can think of a way to tell me that I should not be stained with blood recently. Anyway, you can persuade me to avoid the battle."

Gong Yu understood it quickly, and said seriously: "I understand. Your Excellency the City Lord has made a long-term plan. I admire you."

"Oh, by the way...how much do you know about the war?" Mu Hanxing asked again.

When this matter was mentioned, Gong Yu frowned and looked serious: "This incident really happened too suddenly. Many people were not mentally prepared. General Funing has also died in the battle. Now there is no evidence... I don't know anything else. It seems that we can only start with the rebels?"

It seems that she has to investigate it herself. Mu Hanxing nodded and said, "I understand. So, from now on, I will give you a title. I will add a name before your title of National Master and name you 'Siyuan' National Master, which is more honorable than your previous position. From now on, you will be my eyes and ears in the city and keep an eye on the faction disputes in the city for me."

This is equivalent to giving Gong Yu a senior professional title, which sounds both noble and nice, and highlights his unshakable position in the heart of the city lord. For a loyal minister and good general like Gong Yu, it is absolutely the supreme honor.

As expected, Gong Yu became excited, his eyes were hot and he almost cried. He was about to kneel down to thank her, but was quickly stopped by Mu Hanxing. She stood up and supported him, saying seriously: "On weekdays, these etiquettes are not necessary. You just need to do good things for me."

"I obey your command!" Gong Yu was still very excited, feeling both pleasantly surprised and happy. He was recognized by the city lord!

"Well, you go and think about the ritual tomorrow. I will summon all the ministers to discuss the matter together with the ritual. When the time comes, you will follow my instructions." Mu Hanxing said again.

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Gong Yu quickly left Xihe Palace in high spirits.

After giving orders for the important matter that she had been thinking about, her nerves finally relaxed completely. She planned to have a good sleep and prepare for the battle of wits and courage with those traitors tomorrow.

……

Early the next morning, Mu Hanxing informed the important officials in the city about the political meeting and the ceremonial assembly. Before the ceremonial assembly, she contacted Huan Chong, the deputy chief who was in charge of guarding the rebel leader Chu Rong in the prison, through the spiritual mirror.

Huan Chong reported to her truthfully: "Reporting to the city lord, Chu Rong still hasn't confessed the mastermind behind the scenes. No one has come to jailbreak in recent days, and the wounds from the whipping on his body are almost healed."

"Okay, I understand." Mu Hanxing quickly turned off the spirit mirror.

Afterwards, she consulted Chuntao to study the deployment of troops in the city and the gossips among the barracks. After she had a clear idea of ​​the situation, she changed into a set of gorgeous brocade clothes in the palace, put on an extremely precious crown, and walked to the council hall of Fuyue City with an imposing manner.

The Council Hall is located north of the city center.

Mu Hanxing brought Chuntao to the gate early in the morning. When the ministers saw her, they bowed and said politely, "Good morning, Lord City Lord."

Seeing that except for Long Jin, all her concubines were there, Leng Feiren was sitting beside the main seat, and the other elders in the city were also in place. She walked forward steadily, climbed the stairs, and sat on the main seat in the hall.

The etiquette and rules in Fuyue City are not as numerous as those in the court of the human world. They are all based on the rules set by the female devil herself. Therefore, Mu Hanxing also sat on the chair with his legs crossed and looked down at everyone. He said, "A few days ago, there was a great battle in the city. The soldiers defended the city bravely. I have already comforted the souls of the deceased. Now, there are many miscellaneous matters such as the post-war damage and repairs, and appeasing the people. I hope someone can make a summary for me."

Feng Ping and Feng An closed their eyes, turning a deaf ear to the outside world, looking as if it had nothing to do with them. They were arrogant and rude. Mu Hanxing pretended not to notice that the two people were deliberately giving her a bad look and continued to look around, waiting for someone to take the initiative to take on the job.

At this time, Feng Xiao stepped forward and handed over a booklet, saying respectfully, "Lord City Lord, I have already recorded the many matters you just mentioned, and I will present them to you now."

Mu Hanxing's eyes lit up, and he looked at the booklet in disbelief: "Did you really write it all down?"

"Yes, Lord City Lord has just experienced a life-and-death battle and is very tired. I will take care of these trivial matters. Please take a look at them, Lord City Lord." Feng Xiao took a few steps forward.

Chuntao, who was standing aside, quickly took it and handed it to Mu Hanxing.

Mu Hanxing unfolded the memorial and saw that Feng Xiao's handwriting was neat and fluent. He divided the situation in the city after the war by area and recorded all the details such as time, losses, casualties, etc. It was simply a standard and perfect file.

She was overjoyed and thought it would be perfect to have Feng Xiao be her male secretary.

"Feng Xiao, well done." She looked pleased and praised him in public.

Feng Xiao smiled faintly and nodded.

After thinking about it, there are only two possibilities. Either Feng Xiao really likes her, or he has done something wrong and wants to make it up to her. No matter how she thinks about it, she feels that it is most likely the latter.
