C1664 It's Not like We Can Talk about It?
If Wuma Nann agreed, it would be a happy ending for everyone.
Unexpectedly, when he heard what Wu Qing said, Wuma Nann shouted angrily. "Impossible!"
Then, he said, "Tell those outsiders that it is not their turn to care about me in Fierce Flood City."
Wuma Nann was also depressed. After waiting for so many years, he had finally gotten rid of that old bastard from the Hong family. It seemed like he was going to enjoy life in Fierce Flood City soon. But now, Wu Qing had told him that a few more outsiders had come to suppress him.
It was impossible!
Wu Qing was anxious. He felt that there was no need for Wuma Nann to do so. For the sake of a woman, he was going against an outsider, a Martial Saint. He wanted to persuade Wuma Nann a few more times.
Wuma Nann turned to him and said, "Why aren't you going yet?"
He felt troubled, but seeing that he could no longer persuade Wuma Nann, Wu Qing left the City Lord's Mansion once again.
...
Outside the Hong family, Mo Nan had been waiting for news from Wu Qing. When he saw Wu Qing walking over, he did not even ask.
"There's no need for any more nonsense. I have already given in. If I can't even agree to this request, I will kill Wuma Nann for sure."
Wu Qing smiled bitterly.
Seeing that this man was more determined than City Lord, Wu Qing had no choice but to go back and continue his discussion with Wuma Nann.
-
After going back and forth a few times.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Wuma Nann looked at Wu Qing in disappointment and said angrily,
"If you can't even do such a small thing, what do I need you for?"
Wu Qing lowered his head and did not answer.
On the other hand, Wuma Nann suddenly frowned and said slowly, "Or is it that you have been in contact with the Hong family for a long time?"
"City Lord, what are you saying?"
Wu Qing was shocked.
He was afraid that Wuma Nann would suspect him. Normally, when he saw the Hong family hiding far away, he did not expect Wuma Nann to suspect him in the end.
"Humph."
Wuma Nann snorted and did not continue. He turned around and said, "I just suddenly remembered. This woman was brought back by you. This matter started because of you..."
The more Wu Qing heard, the more shocked he became.
Even he himself had forgotten that Qian Qian was brought back by him in the beginning.
If he hadn't brought Qian Qian back, there wouldn't have been so many things that happened afterwards. Now, the results proved that what he did did did not satisfy Wuma Nann. Instead, it benefited the Hong family...
Wu Qing thought about it and could not help but feel anxious. He opened his mouth as if he was explaining for him.
However, Wuma Nann said impatiently, "Forget it. I do not wish to mention the matter from before. But now, you must settle the matter of taking a concubine for me."
"Wu Qing, you have followed me for so many years. This city lord does not wish for our relationship to end just like this..."
"Yes."
After a pause, Wu Qing lowered his head and agreed.
At this moment, his hands and feet were cold. It could be seen that Wuma Nann had already thoroughly suspected him. It was almost as if Wuma Nann had confirmed that he was with the Hong family.
Wu Qing wanted to explain, but Wuma Nann had to listen.
In a daze, he left the City Lord's Mansion.
...
He was still outside the Hong family. Mo Nan had almost lost his patience. Looking at them, Wu Qing finally walked over in a daze. His eyes were filled with joy. He waved his hand at the latter.
"It's not like we have a deal."
Wu Qing raised his head in surprise. He immediately smiled bitterly and nodded.
He thought for a moment, then suddenly cupped his hands and said, "It's not done yet.
Fellow Taoist, please give me a chance to live. If I return empty-handed, I reckon City Lord won't let me go."
Everything that he had done today was given to him by Wuma Nann, including his life. It was very easy for Wuma Nann to take it back.
Mo Nan suddenly grinned.
"It's easy to survive. Wuma Nann wants to kill you, but I didn't say anything. He will kill you. It doesn't matter if he doesn't agree. As long as you bring Qianqian to me now, I can let you live."
"This..."
Wu Qing was stunned.
Even if he had no other choice and begged Mo Nan, he did not think that he would betray Wuma Nann.
But at this moment, after Mo Nan said this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He had done what he needed to do for Wuma Nann. The problem was, even if he helped Wuma Nann solve this matter today, he could not be sure if Wuma Nann would let him go after he took full control of Fierce Flood City in the future.
Wu Qing didn't care about him. However, there was still a family behind him. They had accompanied Wuma Nann all the way until now. He was very familiar with Wuma Nann's character. If anything happened to him, his wife and children would not have a good ending.
After understanding all these, Wu Qing walked out of the bull's horn and thought about more things. Suddenly, he raised his head in horror and looked at the smiling young man in front of him.
"You did it on purpose?"
"What on purpose?"
old rascal wouldn't admit it.
Wu Qing did not give up. He frowned and asked, "Are you trying to make me think that you can get along well with the city lord after today?"
There were some things that he could see more clearly from Wuma Nann's point of view.
From his point of view, he naturally felt that it would be best if he could turn a small matter into a small matter.
But if it was Wuma Nann...
This was definitely not a competition. It was as simple as snatching a woman. As long as Wuma Nann agreed, it would be equivalent to handing the knife to someone else.
In the future, Mo Nan would be the one holding the knife. He was just a fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered at any time.
If that was the case, why would Wuma Nann agree?
However, he still wanted Wuma Nann to change his mind. It would be strange if the latter did not suspect him.
He did not expect Wu Qing to figure it out so quickly. Mo Nan was surprised, but he did not act anymore.
"It doesn't matter if it's intentional or not. What is important is that Wuma Nann has his eyes on you. Right? "
Wu Qing was speechless.
That's right. Wuma Nann had already set his eyes on him. Even if he told Wu Qing about it now, it was still a question whether Wuma Nann would believe him or not.
He was a suspicious person.
However, Wu Qing could not figure it out. "You have never seen the city lord. How do you know that the city lord would suspect me? It has been more than 20 years since the city lord and I..."
Mo Nan immediately curled his lips. "It doesn't matter how many years it has been. I have never met Wuma Nann, but it is enough for me to meet you."
"What do you mean?" Wu Qing still did not understand.
old rascal could only laugh and explain patiently.
"In the end, Wuma Nann doesn't believe you and you don't believe him either. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to me to discuss with me just now. You came to me first, which means that even you think that old thing might suspect you."
"You want to solve this matter privately and hide it from the heavens. It's just that I didn't agree."
After losing a lot of brain cells, Mo Nan had finally schemed against Wu Qing.
At this moment, he suddenly wanted to express his gratitude to Shi Jun. Back then, he had learned a lot of skills in the Dao College. What Shi Jun taught him was etiquette and stratagem. In stratagems, there were many fields of observation, human heart, and so on. old rascal had always felt that it was not just a waste of time, but also a waste of time. It was only today that he realized that it was good to learn more.
Today, it finally came in handy.
