Chapter 174
Hu Jiujiu left Pingcheng and walked all the way. He soon arrived at Haicheng under the leadership of the envoy.
Hai Changping led his subordinates to prepare a very grand welcome ceremony for Hu Jiujiu, and the entire Haicheng was filled with gongs and drums.
According to Li Yuanqing's instructions, Hu Jiujiu asked Hai Changping about the whereabouts of the Tianhu clan as soon as he came up.
It seems that I attach great importance to it.
Hai Changping was also keeping a fuss and pretended to be confused. He fought at the welcome banquet, but he didn't explain it.
He thought that the other side had already made arrangements anyway, and as long as Hu Jiujiu was held back here, the big thing would be done.
However, the wishful thinking in his mind was completely useless when the news of the plan failed the next day.
I originally thought it was good, and it should be foolproof. But who would have thought that so many people would go to capture a small Pingcheng.
Most of the demon clans in the entire wilderness have taken action, but so many demon clans are useless.
Moreover, according to the news sent back, they still suffered a crushing defeat. They were crowded with people and surrounded Pingcheng in the middle, but in the end they suffered a crushing defeat.
No one thought about this situation, and Hai Changping didn't know what to do for a moment.
"What should I do? According to the original plan, we only need to keep Hu Jiujiu here. But now that the plan is exposed, if we force it to keep it, I am afraid that Hu Jiujiu will anger, which will be detrimental to us."
Hai Changping was pacing anxiously in the huge palace.
An old man with a hunched back stood in front of him, looking down at his feet motionlessly.
"Butler, you have an idea. What should I do when the current situation is right?"
The old man listened to the instructions and then spoke slowly.
"City lord, in the opinion of the old slave, even if the news is difficult to tell the truth about the false, we still need to be more cautious."
"That means, should I put Hu Jiujiu back now?" Hai Changping said with concern, "I promised to restrain Hu Jiujiu for five days, but now I have not been able to hold on for five days. In just one day, the whole line has been defeated and there is no resistance."
"So, the city lord needs to be more decisive at this moment. Letting Hu Jiujiu be released earlier will also be of great benefit to us." The old man said again, "But he can't let him go immediately."
"The housekeeper said in detail."
The old butler stepped forward and walked to Hai Changping.
"The city lord, I went through a lot of trouble to invite Hu Jiujiu over. If I sent someone casually, I might have a gap. The city lord might as well take advantage of the situation and take advantage of this opportunity to have a good relationship with Hu Jiujiu. Hu Jiujiu seems to have not been married yet. The old minister thinks it is a good way."
Hai Changping narrowed his eyes slightly.
That Hu Jiujiu is a beautiful person.
It’s just that his strength is too strong and too dangerous. It would be fine if he was an ordinary demon clan, but his identity is special. With Hu Jiujiu’s status, it might not be so easy to get it.
What's more, someone is watching behind Jiujiu, and I'm afraid it's hard to explain it to some people.
After careful consideration, Hai Changping still decided on this idea.
"Forget it. Although Hu Jiujiu's strength is not very strong, it seems that there is indeed a big man behind him standing up to support him. I might as well take this opportunity to make friends with the person behind him. It is a good way."
"The city lord is wise."
Hu Jiujiu sat on the top of the pavilion, with heavy mist floating above his head.
The mist was shrouded in softly around him, and it was quietly circling around Hu Jiujiu like a group of living animals.
As expected, it was exactly the same as Li Yuanqing expected. As soon as he arrived here, Hai Changping must have been careful to keep the news and refused to say it.
However, after the news of the master's victory came, he could no longer hold on to this little news, and he would not have been able to explain it obediently by then.
Hu Jiujiu was not in a hurry at all. Before Li Yuanqing came, he had already ordered things. Now his evolution is exactly the same as Li Yuanqing expected, so there is no need to get out of his way.
"Lord Hu!"
While Hu Jiujiu was thinking, he suddenly heard a tiny sound of footsteps and approached here.
Hu Jiujiu looked in the direction where the footsteps came, and a figure broke away the thick fog and appeared in front of her.
"Lord Hu, I didn't expect that Lord Hu would practice here early in the morning. I searched for a long time and finally found it."
Hai Changping pretended to take a few breaths and looked at Hu Jiujiu with a smile.
"Lord Hai is so anxious, I wonder if there is anything important?"
"I'm saying this. If I have nothing to do, I can't come to see Lord Hu to talk about the past?" Hai Changping said with a smile.
"Oh? So do I have any past interactions between me and the Lord of Hai?"
Hai Changping was very thick-skinned and didn't feel embarrassed at all: "Lord Hu is really a noble person who forgets things. A few days ago, I was busy and greeted me a lot. Why did I forget all my credit so quickly?"
"It turns out that the gentleman is talking about this, but the little woman was careless."
Hu Jiujiu also gave him a step, and the two of them would not have talked to death on the day.
Hai Changping went down the stairs, changed his mind, and said, "But it is really important to say that someone from Hai is here today, and I want to say it to the lady."
"Lord of Haicheng, but it's okay."
"I said this first, but it didn't endanger anything, so City Lord Hu listens later and don't worry."
"What the hell is it?"
Hai Changping sighed and looked at Hu Jiujiu with a heavy expression: "It's all my fault for talking about this."
"Why did Lord Hai say this!"
"If I hadn't insisted on inviting Lord Hu to come to our place, I'm afraid your Pingcheng would not have been plundered."
Hai Changping said while carefully observing Hu Jiujiu's expression.
I saw Hu Jiujiu step forward in a little panic and asked Hai Changping: "What? What happened?"
"Lord Hu, don't worry. I have said just now that the matter has been settled and there is no loss in Pingcheng."
Hu Jiujiu then felt relieved and patted his chest gently.
"I don't know how many demon clans are going to plunder, how many tribesmen are injured in my Pingcheng?" Looking at Hu Jiujiu's concerned expression, it seemed that he had no confidence in the safety of Pingcheng.
Hai Changping was thinking about it. Does Hu Jiujiu know the existence of that sword immortal?
The sword fairy took action to save her again and again, but Hu Jiujiu didn't seem to have any exact news about the sword fairy.
Otherwise, with the strength of the sword immortal, all the invading people will be wiped out in an instant. How can you worry about this terrifying strength?
"Master Hai?Master Hai, what's wrong with you?"
Hai Changping was thinking about it himself, and accidentally became dazed, and was finally relieved by Hu Jiujiu's scream.
"Oh, Lord Hu, the old master is old and has a bad mind. I hope Lord Hu will not take it to heart."
"It's okay, but I'm afraid I can't continue here now. The people of Pingcheng need me, so I have to go back quickly."
"Lord Hu is sure not to stay for two more days. I originally invited you here, but I just wanted to take you to take a look at me in Haicheng, so that I could help me with more publicity when I go back in the future. Unfortunately, I was really upset when I was in such a situation."
Hai Changping looked at Hu Jiujiu with great regret.
Hu Jiujiu still looked anxious.
"The Lord of Hai City kindly invited the little girl to enjoy the beautiful scenery together, but it is indeed inconvenient for the little girl to do this at this time. If you have the chance in the future, you will definitely come back to visit."
After Hai Changping twisted, he honestly agreed to Hu Jiujiu's will to go back.
He just said it. With the strength shown by Pingcheng at present, he had no reason to be an enemy of Pingcheng.
I just pretended to be confused, but I could hide from the first day of the lunar month and the fifteenth day of the lunar month. Hu Jiujiu was eager to return, and this was understandable. I would never trap people here all the time.
Hai Changping's wishful thinking today was a pity, and he pretended to be a pity. Now he should send this plague god away quickly, so as not to cause trouble to their Haicheng after this time.
"Does Lord Hu insist on leaving? It wouldn't be a big deal if I stayed for two more days according to my husband's opinion."
"No, Lord Hai, the little woman said goodbye now. Thank you for your hospitality today. We will definitely be together forever in the future."
Hai Changping is just waiting for Hu Jiujiu to say this.
"So that's the case, I might as well take this opportunity to further improve our relationship between the two of us in the city. In this way, both sides can communicate with each other and exchange items more closely, which is beneficial to both of us."
A smile flashed in Hu Jiujiu's eyes.
Hai Changping’s rhetoric today is exactly the same as Li Yuanqing’s original idea.
There are a few sentences that are really just a word. The master is indeed very capable and is as good as a god.
Finally, when Hai Changping made this opinion, Hu Jiujiu agreed.
Hai Changping was not vague at all, and he greeted him directly, and the butler behind him rushed over.
The housekeeper placed the drafted documents early on, and Hu Jiujiu just read them briefly and signed the thing.
"Lord Hu, aren't you going to take a closer look? This is an important document to strengthen our cooperation and exchanges in the future. I think it's better to be cautious."
Hai Changping looked at Hu Jiujiu carefully and asked.
Hu Jiujiu said disrespectfully: "The little woman has always admired the style of Lord Haicheng, and I believe she would not harm me in this kind of thing. I also read it and still appreciate this document very much."
"Royal!" Hai Changping served the wine, "It is said that City Lord Hu is open-minded and capable than many men. Today, I am old, and my admiration for City Lord Hu is even more serious!"
"Thank you, Lord Hai, for the compliment."
"I'm going to send Lord Hu out of the city now!"
