The male protagonist tricked me

After arranging their respective tasks for everyone, Song Ao didn't say any more, and asked everyone to go back to their rooms to rest, and make plans the next morning.

When only the two of them were left in the room, Song Ao stood by the window again, looking in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, "What do you think the City Lord's Mansion wants to collect so much power of the star sea?"

Everyone was there just now, but it was already too late, Song Ao didn't want to disturb everyone's rest, so he asked everyone to disperse after explaining the task.

But in fact, among the information they obtained or deduced today, there is a very strange point of contradiction.

There is a huge insulating barrier outside the City Lord's Mansion, that is to say, all people and things with the power of the star sea cannot enter this barrier of the City Lord's Mansion.

However, at the same time, the City Lord's Mansion is using some kind of secret method to divert their attention, and secretly stealing the power of the star sea from them and leading them to the City Lord's Mansion, which is really confusing.

Why does a city lord who doesn't use the power of the star sea to cultivate and even refuses to enter the city lord's palace secretly collect the power of the star sea?

There must be some conspiracy in it, but for a while, Song Ao felt completely confused.

Rao is well-informed, and this question really stumped Jiang Heng. He shook his head after contemplating for a moment, "I have no idea, let's see the information collected by everyone tomorrow and then deduce it. If possible If so, it would be best to meet the city lord or that young lady."

"Yes." Song Ao nodded, "At present, our Xinghai can last about ten days. If it exceeds this time, I'm afraid it will be more difficult in the future."

"Don't worry." Jiang Heng walked behind Song Ao, and suddenly surrounded him from behind, hugging him in his arms.

Song Ao's body froze slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything, nor did he break free.

There seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding between the two of them, and they both understood the feeling of cherishing and valuing each other, but for some reason, they never pierced that layer of window paper.

Both of them knew their own reasons in their hearts, and they had doubts about the other party's reasons, but in the end, they just remained silent happily, retaining a little room to breathe.

Just like at this moment, the two of them were close to each other physically, in fact their hearts were also very close, they were both worried about the same thing - Rank Nine Returning Ring Gu.

Right now the power of the star sea has become a scarce item, and even the Gu in his own star sea has quietly hibernated, Song Ao is naturally more worried about the nine-turn ring-turn Gu in Jiang Heng's body, and he doesn't dare to make trouble with anyone insanity.

To put it indifferently, no matter who puts the sub-gu on, in fact, he doesn't even need to care about that person's life and death, but if the sub-gu host dies, it will cause problems with the sub-gu, which will affect Jiang Heng...

Song Ao shook his head lightly, and swallowed back the breath he hadn't sighed.

No, that kind of situation will not happen, even if the world has already deviated from the original track, but Jiang Heng has always been invincible, isn't it?

As for Jiang Heng, he was naturally worried about the same thing as Song Ao at this time.

Knowing the truth, he was even more worried—the Nine-turn Ring Gu was on Song Ao. If the star sea really dried up, the mother Gu would start to eat Song Ao's star sea until his entire star sea was exhausted. eat them all.

And in this case, it is impossible for Song Ao to take out the sub-gu easily, and it is even more difficult to find another suitable person to be the sub-gu for the time being.

Jiang Heng hugged Song Ao tightly with both arms, and for the first time in his life, he started to regret it.

He regretted that the newly reborn self was too impulsive. He didn't think about many details worthy of scrutiny. Instead, he was only obsessed with the hatred in front of him, letting those things cover his eyes and his mind.

If he hadn't put the Rank Nine Returning Ring Gu on Song Ao's body, maybe he wouldn't be so passive and worrying when he encountered the current situation.

Jiang Heng put his chin on Song Ao's shoulder, but couldn't help thinking in his heart, but if he lost that mother Gu and didn't plant it for Song Ao, in Song's house, Song Zhan planted it for Song Ao. The Gu thing will succeed again, and it is a kind of Gu that he does not understand, that is, the Gu that was planted on Song Ao in the previous life...

Comparing the two, neither seems to be a good situation.

Forget it, maybe this is the person he has his eye on.

Since this life is doomed to be unable to live peacefully and peacefully, Jiang Heng knows that there is only one way to go, and that is to become the most powerful existence by himself, and firmly protect the people he cares about by his side.

"What is that?" Song Ao suddenly asked softly.

Jiang Heng raised his head, and saw that there seemed to be a meteor streaking across the sky, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

After they came to Tiancheng, they observed it carefully.

Although there are day and night here, like a world that exists alone, both of them know in their hearts that in fact, this Tiancheng is a fabricated city, and there are intentions everywhere in the city.

But no matter how careful the people who fabricated this city were, they would still miss some details—after all, it was a man-made creation, how could it be truly comparable to the natural craftsmanship in the universe?

The night sky is one of the links that the master of Tiancheng has missed.

Maybe it's because he doesn't like the night sky, or maybe it's because this fake city made him lose interest in looking up at the starry sky.

In short, the night sky of Tiancheng is starless and moonless.

Even Song Ao thought that above this sky, it might be the land they set foot on before, rather than some vast universe.

However, at this moment, a shooting star actually flashed across this plain, even very crude night sky?

The eyes of the two chased the shooting star, only to see that it dragged its long tail, and a gorgeous ray of light was drawn in the night sky.But in the end, it was fleeting, and soon disappeared into the night.

But for some reason, with the disappearance of the shooting star, Song Ao felt that his mind seemed to settle down, "Go to sleep for a while." Song Ao said, "Tomorrow, I have to cheer up and find a way to break the situation."

"Okay." Jiang Heng responded, and gently let go of Song Ao, "Sleep with you for a while."

It was already late, and the second half of the night naturally passed by quickly. Even Song Ao felt that it was just a matter of closing and opening his eyes, and the lifeless sun hung in the sky again, ushering in another day.

On this day, old Uncle Liu left later than usual - after all, he stayed with him for a long time last night, and by the time he returned to the city lord's mansion to rest, it was already late at night.

And early this morning, he went to the City Lord's Mansion again and reported the recent progress of the group to the City Lord.

Old Uncle Liu knew very well that a very critical period has come recently, and the city lord is about to prepare for a big move, and these people have been waiting for too long.

On the way to the city lord's mansion, old Uncle Liu walked quickly all the way in small steps, and he didn't see the limping appearance when he usually led Song Ao and the others.

Before entering the main hall, Old Liu looked up at the sun in the sky.

It's been too long, too long, and he really hates this false sun.Or, since he was born, he has never seen, the real sunshine.

When he was still young, he also heard his father and grandfather say that they talked about their father and grandfather, saying that their greatest wish was to see the real sunshine.

However, as time passed, the grandfather passed away, and the father grew old, but the family's wishes were never fulfilled.

But it's different now.

Old Liu Bo stepped up the steps at the entrance of the main hall, feeling a surge of emotion in his heart. The city lord said that as long as the plan this time can be successfully completed, they will be able to leave this small city of heaven and go to a truly huge city full of sunshine. The place.

Even at that time, the city owner will no longer be the city owner, but will become the king of a country, managing a huge country that he can't even imagine!

Thinking of the possible future, Uncle Liu felt boundless joy in his heart, and his steps became more anxious.

It was just that a figure came into view suddenly, Old Uncle Liu paused, feeling a little unhappy, but because of his status, he stopped, bent slightly and made a bow, "Miss."

The person who came was the eldest lady of the city today, the only daughter of the city lord, and the protagonist of the "election of son-in-law" incident he fabricated this time in order to deceive those outsiders.

The eldest lady turned her face, looked at old Uncle Liu silently, and immediately did not answer, but walked directly towards the main hall of the city lord's mansion.

Old Uncle Liu cursed in his heart, and a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.

This eldest lady is beautiful, but she is a wooden beauty with no energy. Her every move seems to be planned in advance, and she will only follow the established route.

Among the few gossips in the city, there are many stories about this young lady.

Partly because of her beauty, but more because of her eccentricity.

Old Uncle Liu didn't like the young lady either, and he didn't think the young lady was someone he needed to please.After all, besides his daughter, the city lord also has sons. Regardless of whether the city lord will have greater authority in the future, the position of the city lord, or even a higher position, will definitely not be passed on to this strange young lady.

Thinking of this, the unhappiness in Old Uncle Liu's heart dissipated a little.

It's just a pity that he has no way to stay with the young city lord and cultivate his relationship with the young city lord.However, thinking about it, he has always worked for the city lord, and he has won the trust of the city lord, and he should be the right-hand man of the young city lord in the future.

Although the young city lord left Tiancheng through a special method in his early years to practice outside, his reputation is much better than this young lady who has always stayed in the city.

After all, the young city lord is taking risks for the entire Tiancheng, and the eldest lady not only has no achievements, but also walks in and out of the city with a dead face every day.

Heh, who would like such a woman who only has a bad face all day long?No matter how good-looking she is, she will only attract the disgust of others!

Thinking so complacently, old Uncle Liu put on a smile again, and followed the eldest lady a few steps into the main hall of the city lord's mansion.

"Master City Lord." Old Uncle Liu bowed and smiled flatteringly, "This time the progress is also very fast, all thanks to the City Lord's exquisite design, I have already brought them into the brothel yesterday, when I pick them up in the morning, I will Check the situation again, if there are no accidents, in ten days, these people will be almost exhausted."

According to usual, this progress should be regarded as quite gratifying.

However, the city lord who heard the news did not praise him as Old Liu expected. Instead, he frowned and said in a deep voice, "Ten more days? It's too long."

Old Uncle Liu thumped in his heart, and secretly groaned in his heart, but naturally he didn't dare to show it on his face. He could only put on a look of sincerity and fear, and begged for mercy: "My lord, I don't know where the villain did it. It’s not good enough, the first five days, and the next ten days. According to past experience, being able to complete everything in the fifteenth day is already considered a very fast progress. This, this... please tell the city lord clearly! "

Old Uncle Liu was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground.

The city lord is very kind most of the time, but after working with the city lord for so many years, Old Liu deeply knows that once the city lord gets angry, the anger is definitely not something he can bear.

But even though his voice had already started to tremble, old Uncle Liu still secretly raised his head, trying to observe the expression of the city lord, so as to find more vitality for his next self.

Old Uncle Liu looked up, but he saw the city lord Nian Xu thinking deeply, and he didn't give him even a little bit of attention.

On the contrary, it was the eldest lady with a mocking expression all over her face, she turned her head stiffly, and looked at old Uncle Liu with a half-smile, a mocking expression.

Seeing the young lady's expression, Old Uncle Liu was furious, wishing he could just jump up and leave, but beside the city lord who was still thinking, Old Uncle Liu could only kneel stiffly on the spot, not daring to make any mistakes.

After old Uncle Liu knelt for a while, the city lord sighed slightly, and asked in a surprised tone as if he had just discovered Uncle Liu: "Why did you kneel down? I didn't say anything .”

"Little man, I don't know what I did wrong. A good man is stupid. Please let the city lord express it." The more the city lord said this, the more uneasy Old Liu became, for fear that he would do something wrong again and offend the city lord. unpleasant.

But this time it was obvious that he was worrying too much, the city lord sighed and said: "It's nothing, you get up first, I don't dislike you for not doing things well, it's just that the time is really tight, that's why I made this move." ask."

Old Uncle Liu looked carefully again, and after confirming that the city lord was not really dissatisfied with his work, he breathed a sigh of relief, got up from the ground, and saluted the city lord again, "Please tell the city lord what to do."

The city lord pondered for a moment, "Lao Liu, this matter is extremely important, and we must find a way. At special times, extraordinary measures are fine."

"Yes." Old Uncle Liu felt his heart pounding—is his opportunity to serve the city lord coming soon? !

"The news from Liang'er will be the best time in five days." The city lord sat back on his exquisite and gorgeous chair, and tapped the armrest of the chair lightly with his fingers, "It wasn't so urgent in the first place. It came suddenly. But since the opportunity is there, there is absolutely no reason to let it go, do you understand?"

"Understood!" Old Uncle Liu responded very excitedly immediately.

Liang'er is exactly the name of the young city lord, since this is the news from the young city lord, it must be correct.

"Well, it's good to understand." The city lord looked solemnly, "So, can you have a way to shorten this time?"

Old Uncle Liu's mind was running fast, all kinds of calculations and methods were intertwined in his mind, and he quickly went through all the methods that could be used.

Although the final result made old Uncle Liu feel a little uncomfortable, but the desire to contribute to the great cause of Tiancheng still overwhelmed everything, old Uncle Liu gritted his teeth and said: "The villain has a way, but I'm afraid I need the eldest lady to help the villain ..."

"Oh?" The city lord cast his sharp gaze at Old Uncle Liu, "Let's listen to it..." After speaking, his eyes swept across his daughter without a trace, feeling a little dazed in his heart.

She said she was the eldest lady of Tiancheng, but the city lord knew that he had never really set his sights on this so-called daughter, because she was after all...

"Small man..." Old Uncle Liu raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead, stretched his hands forward, bowed heavily to the city lord, and then said: "Small man, I want to let outsiders relax their guard this time." , and lied that a son-in-law selection for the young lady will be held in the city soon... It was also through this excuse that they were led to the brothel early, and the speed of this mission was greatly accelerated."

"At the moment, these outsiders are not able to enter the city lord's mansion, so the villain can only ask the city lord to let the villain pretend to organize a son-in-law selection meeting outside, so as to complete this last step and extend the time within five days!"

Although old Uncle Liu was trembling in his heart, his words were loud and powerful.

After finishing speaking, the entire hall fell into a long silence.

The city lord's eyes were heavy, and he turned his head to look at his daughter's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, not crying.

After a long time, he heaved a long sigh, looked away, and looked at old Uncle Liu again.

"That's all." The city lord stretched out a hand and waved it at Old Liu, "Let's do it this way, make sure to keep the last group of people steady, as long as they don't make too much demands, you can agree to them, and you must find a way to catch up with the five. We have waited too long for the best opportunity of this day, and there is no room for any mistakes."

The more he went on, the more determined the city lord's gaze became, and he could no longer focus on the eldest lady.Perhaps, they just don't have the fate to be father and daughter in this life. Even if they use this method to force her to stay by their side, what's the point of keeping her in Tiancheng?

It's just that this road has been passed down from their ancestors, and they have walked for too long, so long that it has become a deep-rooted obsession. If it has been so long, if you don't do it, you don't know what else you can do.

This time, they are determined to break through all this and get back what originally belonged to them!

"Yes! The villain knows it!" Old Uncle Liu bowed his hands, his heart agitated, the city lord actually entrusted such an important matter directly to him!This news was handed over by the young city lord. If he could handle this matter, wouldn't he be showing his face in front of the city lord and the young city lord at the same time?

In this way, when the time comes, the merits of Conglong will definitely be counted as his first share!

So, with an extremely excited mood, old Liu Bo walked out of the City Lord's Mansion with his head held high and his chest held high. Even after taking a last look at the eldest lady before leaving, he felt that she was not so annoying anymore.

And just after old Uncle Liu left, the eldest lady also turned her head and gave the city lord a light look.

It's just that she didn't say a word, didn't say anything, only her face was pale and frightening, and after she gave the city lord a blank look, she turned around like a mechanical puppet, and walked out slowly step by step.

"Rou'er..." Just as the eldest lady was about to walk out of the hall, the city lord suddenly called out in a trembling voice.

The eldest lady's footsteps did not stop, her facial expression remained unchanged, and she did not even open her mouth.

But for some reason, there was a stiff and mechanical voice in the air, "Dead."

After leaving the city lord's mansion, old Liu Bo hurried all the way to the brothel.

But after all, it was because he wasted some time in the City Lord's Mansion, he was obviously late today.

But it's not a waste of time, although quite a few people have already left, old Liu Bo still found Li Zhi in the brothel.

After many years of work, Old Liu could see at a glance that this person was very successful, but he was very tall but lacked enough courage and intelligence, so he took this person as his goal breakthrough from the very beginning.

In fact, when he reported to the city lord, he was indeed a bit overbearing, reporting good news but not bad news.

Compared with the previous two batches of people who came in, there are obviously a few smart and capable outsiders in this batch.

But Uncle Liu didn't think these guys would escape in the end.

After all, for so many years, as long as he can remember, the Liu family has been taking care of these things for the city lord, and there has never been a mistake.

Grandpa said it was called boiling frogs in warm water, and by the time the frogs found out, it would be too late.

My father said that this is called Xu Xu Tuzhi, after all, it is the great cause of the entire Tiancheng, and it is more important to do things well than to do things quickly.

But since the city lord said to be faster at this time, he must do it faster!

"Master Li." Seeing Li Zhi, Old Uncle Liu immediately greeted him with a smile, "Why don't you see other young masters and young ladies?"

"Hahaha..." Li Zhi put his hands behind his back and laughed a few times, "They are not as powerful as my young master, and they are ashamed to see others, so they should go back early."

"Then why is Young Master Li still here..." A trace of disdain and amused flashed in old Uncle Liu's eyes, but he was still full of flattery in front of him.

"Master, am I waiting for you?" Li Zhi glanced at old Uncle Liu, and said with great style, "I still remember what you said yesterday, old Uncle Liu, haha, I don't know if my young master Li's reputation is Can you make Missy feel satisfied?"

Old Uncle Liu looked at Li Zhi, and felt that he was like a peacock who didn't know he was ugly and was still trying his best to open his tail, which made people laugh endlessly.

But having such a stupid opponent is actually a pleasant thing.

Old Uncle Liu rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Haha, I was just about to talk to the young masters. For the sake of the young masters, I have applied to the city lord to arrange a meeting. It will be tomorrow, so as to pave the way for the son-in-law selection meeting. Xiao People are busy preparing for this matter, so Soyi will ask Master Li to help send a message to the other young masters and ladies, okay?"

"Hmph, of course there is no problem." Li Zhi raised his head and hummed contentedly, "Master, I will definitely become Missy's sweetheart, heh."
