Gu Bai quickly ordered to have Lian Hengwu brought to the reception room.
——In fact, he doesn’t need to explain it like this, because Lian Hengwu himself is a high-ranking Martial Lord, no matter whether he can become a part of Tiandu City, the chief steward Qin Xubo will not give people the impression that he is not well received.
So, Lian Hengwu was already in the reception room...
After listening to Qin Xubo's report, Gu Bai was embarrassed in silence.
It seemed he had to go anyway.
So he stood up and said very coldly: "Xiaoshan will go with me."
Qi Guan Rui looked gentle, and said softly: "Okay, City Lord."
Qin Xubo glanced at Qi Guanrui, his eyes became more and more strange.
Does the city lord trust this person too much
Then he quickly suppressed his suspicions. Now that he has checked the history, as long as the city lord likes it... that's fine.
Wait, there still seems to be something wrong with this!
As a competent butler, Qin Xubo suppressed his messy thoughts very well, maintained a respectful and sincere expression, and followed behind Gu Bai.
It is also the position shoulder to shoulder with Qi Guan Rui.
The three of them, one in front and two behind, kept a quiet and solemn atmosphere, and walked all the way to the reception room.
There, a thin man with a stature of only about seven feet was sitting on a big chair, almost immediately aware of someone approaching.
Then he immediately got up, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "This is the Lord of Tiandu City, I have admired him for a long time!"
Gu Bai glanced at him expressionlessly, and said, "I have long admired you."
Then he walked to the main seat, while Qi Guan Rui stood quietly behind him, and Qin Xubo stood on the other side, and began to instruct the servants to serve tea.
After Lian Hengwu saw Gu Bai, he let go of his contempt.
He originally thought that a genius who can reach a high-ranking Martial Lord at a young age should be arrogant and contemptuous of others. Such a person is often easily agitated, and can easily fall into the language trap of others. In the end, the superficial beauty is actually just pushed out thugs.
But looking at it now, the other party is indeed arrogant, but the arrogance is very calm, he can't even see any fluctuations in this Che Shubai's eyes, as if there is no special emotion. Such a person is too difficult to deal with.
Especially the fact that he, a high-ranking Martial Lord, could not make the other party look happy... So he immediately adjusted his attitude.
And... the Lord of Tiandu City, does he not have a good impression of him
Although Lian Hengwu was a little worried, Gu Bai actually had a good impression of him.
Because Lian Hengwu is short!
Being half head taller by the child paper that I picked up when I was a child is so uncomfortable, isn't it true that my elder brother's self-confidence has been severely hit!
Now that he sees that Lian Hengwu is of this size, recalling when he described Lian Hengwu that he was of "medium build"... his mind immediately balanced.
Sure enough, it's not that Gu Bai's genes are not tall enough, but that Gu Xiaoshan's size is too unscientific.
Gu Bai glanced at Lian Hengwu and said, "Sit."
Lian Hengwu realized that his momentum had been suppressed, and his expression changed immediately, and he also sat down. However, he had been tempered for a long time, so he calmed down quickly, and said with a smile: "The reason for my coming here must be known to the city lord."
It would be too embarrassing to say explicitly to seek refuge, so I used hints.
Gu Bai nodded: "Continue."
Lian Hengwu's smile froze.
Nima, do you accept or not? What does "continue" mean
But when he looked at Gu Bai again, he was meeting the other's dark eyes... and his heart trembled immediately.
Could it be that Zi Che Shubai has seen that I have another purpose
Lian Hengwu was even more afraid to fool the other party as a child.
It seems that even if he is a high-ranking Martial Lord, he can't make the other party agree in a daze, and he has to explain everything clearly so that the other party can analyze the interests and make a decision.
After thinking a lot for a moment, his expression became serious.
"Of course, I do have something to ask for."
Gu Bai nodded slightly again, continuing to be noble and glamorous: "Please tell me."
This is considered to give him face.
But Qi Guan Rui who was standing behind Gu Bai, when he saw Lian Hengwu for the first time, his eyes became dark.
Even if this guy turns into ashes, he won't fail to recognize him—it's the murderer who turned him from a genius to a waste overnight!
He was just deciding to trouble Zi Che Shubai after seeing him, but unexpectedly, he sent him to his door... He actually wanted to seek refuge in Tiandu City
For a while, Qi Guan Rui also thought a lot.
He was wondering if Lian Hengwu already knew that he had risen again, so he wanted to use Tianducheng to oppose him. Then it was overthrown again. After all, he only has the strength of a junior Martial Lord now, and even Hengwu can find a chance to depose him again-but if he dares to come, the consequences will not be as he wished. In other words, Lian Hengwu was afraid of why he would suddenly recover, so he didn't dare to do it lightly and decided to kill someone with a knife
Of course, what he wanted to know more was what decision Zi Che Shubai would make.
Sure enough, Lian Hengwu told about his grievances with Qi Guan's family, and stated that he was willing to sacrifice his life, as long as he could get rid of this family.
Gu Bai sat high and tall, tapping slowly on the armrest with one finger, as if he was thinking.
... In fact, he wasn't thinking about whether to help or not at all.
He's just irritable.
Is it over yet? Nima Laozi wanted to avoid the protagonist, but it was too late for you to let Laozi face the protagonist!
What the hell, don't bring your wages with you if you think your life is too long!
This is impossible.
So under the irritability, he reluctantly waited for Lian Hengwu to finish speaking, and Gu Bai said: "I refuse."
Lian Hengwu choked.
In fact, he never thought that the other party would refuse. There is no reason for this, okay? It has been said that Qi Guan's family has only one high-ranking Martial Lord to enshrine, and they can easily destroy Qi Guan's family by going to one of them to hold him and the other. Afterwards, he, the high-ranking Martial Lord, will be sold to Tianducheng, which is not a good deal!
Actually... rejected
But at the moment when Gu Bai refused, Qi Guan Rui's originally cold eyes softened again.
Gu Bai said: "I won't help you deal with Qi Guan Rui."
Qi Guan Rui raised his eyebrows, in his impression, Zi Che Shubai's spies should only know some general things.
Gu Bai paused, then continued: "He is a good seed."
Lian Hengwu's face suddenly became very ugly.
That's it, that's it.
The City Lord of Tiandu City took a fancy to Qi Guanrui, who advanced faster and had stronger potential, no wonder he looked down on him, an older high-ranking Martial Lord.
What a good city lord with foresight and foresight!
The matter has come to this point, the words are not speculative, Lian Hengwu didn't say anything more, snorted coldly, turned around and strode out.
It's all come to this point, if he says one more word, it's just humiliating himself!
Gu Bai watched Lian Hengwu go out, met Qin Xubo's puzzled eyes, waved him to go down without explaining.
After Qin Xubo left, he heard another familiar voice.
"Brother, you to that Qi Guan Rui..."
"I don't know!" Gu Bai said firmly.
Qi Guan Rui choked slightly: "...then?"
Gu Bai turned his head, glanced at this brother, hesitated for a while, and then said: "In short, he is not easy to deal with, so you should not confront him."
Qi Guan Rui nodded obediently.
But in his eyes, when no one saw him, a glint of light flashed across.
Zi Che Shubai... did he know something
No, if he could really know those things, he would also know his own identity.
However, it is obvious that Zi Che Shubai's attitude towards "Gu Shan" and towards "Qi Guan Rui", even when he mentions it casually, is completely different.
Then, with Zi Che Shubai's ability and identity, why would he value a direct descendant of an ordinary family so much
Zi Che Shubai's current performance must make Qi Guanrui feel that he himself knows that Lian Hengwu is Qi Guanrui's enemy, and the person Zi Che Shubai mentioned before is Qi Guanrui....
But Qi Guan Rui would not mention a word, he showed a gentle smile, followed Gu Bai, and walked out of the reception room.
And Gu Bai, who didn't know that he had made the protagonist suspect him, happily went to have dinner with his little bamboo horse.
Finally, Lian Hengwu is solved, he can be slaughtered by the protagonist wherever he goes, as long as he has nothing to do with Tianducheng, that's fine!
It was another night of falling asleep, Qi Guan Rui still used the old method to make Gu Bai sleep peacefully.
Then, he turned into a twisted snake shadow, and quickly escaped to the outside of Tiandu City.
Because of the conflict with Gu Bai, Lian Hengwu didn't stay in the city at all, but went directly outside the city to sleep.
A few hundred meters away from the tent, Qi Guan Rui appeared from the shadow, and laughed mockingly: "This is really convenient, originally I was thinking... if I kill you in the city , how should I explain it to my brother?"
Lian Hengwu was holding back his anger during the day, and was sitting cross-legged in the tent, preparing to practice overnight.
When he was about to exercise his mind, he suddenly noticed a strange black shadow appearing on the tent skin, and he couldn't help shouting immediately: "Who is it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, many thin black shadows rushed over and landed on him in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly there was a stabbing pain.
Lian Hengwu was shocked, and hurriedly used his palm to expel it, but he didn't expect that his martial energy would keep leaking from the place where he was bitten!
In an instant, he was covered in cold sweat, as if something was wrong...
A figure suddenly rushed over, and immediately there was severe pain in the dantian.
Lian Hengwu originally wanted to escape, but he didn't expect that under the severe pain, his martial energy was pulled by something, which made him lose any strength.
"Who... are you?" he yelled, "Even if you are going to die, you will let me die!"
Under the pale moonlight, Qi Guan Rui's face was revealed bit by bit.
Lian Hengwu's eyes widened: "You..."
Qi Guan Rui smiled slightly: "Of course you wouldn't pay attention to an ordinary guard, I just lowered my head, and you wouldn't recognize me."
So damn stupid.
With the loss of martial energy, Lian Hengwu maintained an expression of disbelief, and quickly withered away.
Soon all that remained was a skeleton frame.
Then Qi Guan Rui stepped on it, and with a "bang" roar, the skeleton turned into shattered pieces.
Destroy corpses and wipe out traces.
Qi Guan Rui turned around and walked out from the tent.
Behind him, the tent was rubbed vigorously and turned into thousands of dust...
