Chapter 528 Hua Yu's Plan
Chapter 528 Hua Yu's Plan
Hearing that roar, those people looked at Mei Xiang, who was dressed in mourning and had a frosty face, and couldn't help but reveal an embarrassed look! After all, she is the daughter of the city lord. Although the city lord has passed away, his influence is still there! After all, this is the city lord's mourning hall. It is indeed a bit excessive to make a fuss here! But some people still don't give up! What's more, the city lord is dead, just a little girl! What is there to be afraid of?
Someone immediately said coldly:
"Miss Mei, you are wrong! The city lord has passed away, so why not come to pay your respects?"
"Humph! Condolences? Is this how you express condolences? Do you think that just because my father has passed away, you dare to act wildly in the City Lord's Mansion? Get out of here if you know what's best for you! Otherwise, I will beat you out!"
Meixiang snorted coldly!
Upon hearing this, a city guard commander said expressionlessly:
"Miss Mei, please calm down! The city lord passed away suddenly, and we are just concerned about him! Since Miss Mei doesn't appreciate our kindness, then we will just leave! It's just... hehe! It's just that we are all city defenders, with the responsibility of defending the city, and someone in the city suddenly died, so we came here to find out the truth! If you don't want to answer truthfully, then don't blame me..."
"Oh? Commander Yuan, what will you do?"
A sharp voice came. Everyone turned around and saw Hua Qianyu with a frosty face, walking in with the gait of a dragon and a tiger!
Under Hua Qianyu's aggressive gaze, Commander Yuan's arrogance immediately subsided, and he said with a smile on his face:
"How dare I! I was impulsive and said something I shouldn't have said. I beg Commander Hua to forgive me!
The city lord passed away suddenly, and we all came to pay our respects to him out of gratitude for his kindness. I thought that the city lord passed away strangely, and must have been killed by a villain, so I just wanted to find out who the enemy was and avenge him! I have no other intention! I have no other intention! I just asked too hastily, and made the young lady misunderstand! Sorry! I am really sorry! "
It's no wonder that Commander Yuan was arrogant at first and respectful later! He used to be respectful to Meixiang and Baiyunli because they were the daughters and disciples of the city lord. But now, they are just commoners! But Hua Qianyu is different! After all, he is also a commander of the same level as him! So he should be more polite when speaking.
"Do you really want to know who Master's enemy is? Do you really want to avenge Master?"
Hua Qianyu still asked coldly.
"Of course! Of course! As the city lord's subordinates, we will swear to avenge him until our death!"
Commander Yuan immediately said in a serious tone, with an impassioned attitude!
Hua Qianyu glanced at the rest of the people again and sneered:
"So, you all have this idea?"
"Of course! Of course!"
Everyone nodded.
"Alas! I didn't expect that you are all such loyal and brave people. Thank you for this! All right! Just follow me to the sect, and let the sect master tell you!"
Hua Qianyu sighed immediately.
"What? Let us go back to the sect? Let the sect master tell us?"
Commander Yuan and others were all shocked!
"Yes! I also want to know who the enemy is who killed Master, and I want to avenge him! It's a good opportunity for me to go to the Sect Master with you to ask for clarification! After all, Master went out this time on the Sect Master's orders!
Brothers, I am a nobody and my words are not taken seriously. I think you should have more respect. The leader will definitely tell you the truth!"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard this! They knew that Hua Qianyu was using the Sect Master to pressure them and perfunctorily deal with them, and they had no other choice!
Go to meet the clan leader? Want to ask about the cause of the city lord's death? Even if they had ten guts, they wouldn't dare! For small characters like them, let alone meeting the clan leader, even those prestigious elders can't be met just because they want to!
Seeing that everyone was standing still, Hua Qianyu deliberately urged:
"Commander Yuan, everyone, hurry up! I'm more anxious than you!"
Commander Yuan blushed and said awkwardly:
"Ah! This... Commander Hua! We are indeed eager to avenge the city lord! But it is Yuan's turn to be on duty today, and I am really a bit busy! So, when Commander Hua finds out who the enemy is, please inform me as soon as possible! I will stand by Brother Hua!
It’s getting late, I’ll take my leave now!”
After saying that, he hurriedly bowed and said goodbye! The rest of the people also stood up and left in a hurry as if they were escaping!
Watching the group of people leave one by one, Meixiang remembered that her father had just died and they dared to treat her like this. She couldn't help but burst into tears again!
Hua Qianyu couldn't help but frowned! He immediately stepped forward and said softly:
"Little Junior Sister, please accept my condolences! Master has passed away, and we are all very sad. But there are many things to do after the event, and we still need you and me to do it. You have also seen the faces of these ungrateful people! If we continue to indulge in grief, I am afraid that by then we will not even be able to find a place to hide!"
Meixiang was stunned when she heard this! She raised her tearful face and looked at Hua Qianyu in confusion.
Hua Qianyu immediately waved everyone away. Seeing Meixiang holding Muchun tightly, although he was unhappy, he couldn't say anything. He immediately whispered:
"Junior sister, I think Junior Brother Bai has already told you the truth. This war was extremely brutal! Not only did tens of thousands of people die in the battle, but even the Five Emperors and the Sect Master were seriously injured!
The sect leader was too seriously injured to manage the affairs. Many senior elders of the sect also died in the battle, leaving only Elder Lu Yiwei! Now Elder Lu is in charge of all the affairs of the sect.
This time when I returned to the sect, I did not see Elder Lu. But I learned that the mayor of Tianxing City will be reappointed! According to reliable sources, the candidate he prefers should be his junior fellow apprentice Yu Hualin!
You know, Lu Yiwei has always been at odds with Master! And Yu Hualin is Lu Yiwei's confidant! Once Yu Hualin takes office, I'm afraid he will do something bad to us!
Therefore, we can only temporarily suppress our grief and protect our interests! At least, we can't let them seize our City Lord's Mansion! If so, won't the little sister be homeless?
If we want to keep the City Lord's Mansion, then we need Junior Sister to come forward and fight for it! After all, you are the Master's daughter! And we are a little bit unjust and unreasonable! Unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless Junior Sister is willing... willing to marry me! Alas! I know it's a bit inappropriate to say such things at this time, but only in this way can I speak out with a legitimate reason!"
Mu Chun couldn't help but frown when she heard this! Although what Hua Qianyu said seemed to make some sense, she always felt something was wrong!
Mu Chun's feeling was not wrong! The so-called City Lord's Mansion was just an excuse for Hua Qianyu! This City Lord's Mansion was Mei Jianghai's private property, not Tianxing City's. It was just that this was the City Lord's home, so it was called the City Lord's Mansion! Since it was private property, what right did the new City Lord have to take it back? It was just that Mei Xiang didn't know!
The reason why he was eager to marry Meixiang was because he had his own plans! He was eager to go to the sect because he knew that the top leaders of Tianxing City were almost all dead or injured. Therefore, reorganization was imperative! He wanted to fight for his own interests! But when he arrived at the sect, he found that without the protection of his master, he was nothing! If he wanted to gain his own interests, he had to rely on the residual power of his master! And the residual power of his master was Meixiang! Only by capturing Meixiang could he legitimately fight for the maximum benefit of his own interests!
When Meixiang heard that her home might be in danger, she immediately went crazy! She yelled:
"I'm right here, let's see who dares to chase us away!"
"Little Junior Sister, calm down! They may not dare to do this, but I am just making preparations for a rainy day! If you feel it is inappropriate, I will not force you! I have no other intentions, I just want to fulfill Master's wish! No matter what, I will fight for it!"
Seeing Hua Qianyu's panic, Meixiang couldn't help but feel guilty! In her opinion, the senior brother did it for her after all! She immediately said humbly:
"I was angry for a moment and said something rude. I beg you to forgive me, Senior Brother! Since my father passed away, you are the head of the family! You have the final say on everything!"
Hua Qianyu couldn't help but show joy on his face! With Meixiang's words, he could legitimately act as the city lord's son-in-law!
