The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined

Feng Xiao had a calm face, and stood tall and proud. He no longer looked frail and sick. He frowned and thought, and whispered, "Even you understand this, but why doesn't my mother understand it?"

Yu Ziheng was dejected. He murmured, "Young Master, it is precisely because our tribe is weak and helpless, yet has a lot of skills, that we were targeted by the female demon... and City Lord Mu. Although you are now favored by her, don't forget that she was the first to invade Jianmu. She took away all the skilled craftsmen in the tribe and ordered our Phoenix tribe to build the Qingyun Tower with a tough attitude... Isn't this treating us as slaves? The tribe leader also wants to get rid of the shackles and break out of the cage. We are phoenixes, and we can't rely on the wings of others all day and never be able to fly out!"

Feng Xiao: “…”

Before, his mother sent him a message, only telling him that if the Moon Palace mission was successful, the Phoenix Clan would no longer be slaves of others, and he himself would be able to regain his freedom and return to Jianmu to become the young master of the Phoenix Clan; if the Moon Palace mission failed, he would continue to flatter Mu Hanxing in Fuyue City, and then try to get more benefits for the Phoenix Clan from her. Either way, he would not suffer any loss, and the Phoenix Clan would not suffer any loss either.

At that time, he was excited and his heart was indeed like Yu Ziheng. He had been depressed for too long and wanted to be free. He wanted to fly out happily, soar into the sky, and feel the clouds rolling and unrolling. So, he acquiesced to that thing.

But now...

……

Just as Jingchen and Fengxiao were preparing to set off, another major event suddenly became a hot topic in the city.

This was the first major uproar caused by the Linglong Banquet.

Since the war, the city lord has worked hard for the people and has done a lot of practical things. The public's favorability has improved a lot, and the Nine-Tailed Clan did not dare to come back to cause trouble. Those who knew about it also followed the city lord's instructions and chose not to cause any trouble. Tian Ni is not stupid. She knows that the Nine-Tailed Clan has been calm these days, and not even a gust of wind has blown. Naturally, she knows that Mu Hanxing has spared her again.

Chun Tao couldn't understand why the leader of the Nine-Tailed Clan was so cowardly and liked to provoke her. Wasn't he crazy?

Mu Hanxing patiently explained to her: "This is called being both naive and playful. There are many people like this. Don't worry, don't pay attention to her."

"But, City Lord, how many times have you spared her? Let me count..." Chun Tao had a good memory. She frowned and began to count for her. "The first time, she insisted on competing with you in beauty. The second time, she wanted to compete with you in martial arts. The third time, she saw that she couldn't beat you with pure martial arts, so she insisted on fighting you. The fourth time, she felt that she couldn't win in a one-on-one fight, so she started a team fight. I participated at that time, and we beat her group of fox brothers! The fifth time, she was not convinced, and came to you to find you to catch ghosts together. In the end, Fuyue City caught it first. The sixth time, she used Linglong Banquet to slander us for selling counterfeit goods. I wrote it all down! This can't be tolerated anymore!"

Who would have thought that Chuntao, a girl who looks sunny but sometimes boyish, would hold such a grudge.

Mu Hanxing smiled calmly: "It's the sixth time. It's just right. I think you may not have heard of the story of the Seven Captures of Meng Huo."

"What kind of stuff?" Chuntao tilted her head, looking confused.

"Anyway, don't bother with her."

There is no need to pay much attention to people like Tian Ni. People who stab her in the back are insidious, so she is now going to start stabbing those who hurt her.

So, Mu Hanxing finally thought of a way. She spread the news throughout the city, saying that she was going to send an experienced and noble person to the mortal world to find a ghost vine branch for her in a mysterious place on the border of the world of cultivation.

Vine ghost branches are the common currency used in the ghost world, but it is not quite accurate to call it the common currency. According to Mu Hanxing's understanding of this world in recent days, the commonly used paper currency in the ghost world is still ghost money, and vine ghost branches are a more advanced currency, equivalent to a commemorative coin. Precious items in the ghost world can only be exchanged with familiar ghosts using vine ghost branches, and cannot be bought with ghost money.

And in that mysterious place, it is said that there is a weasel spirit that often roams the three realms and is selling this kind of ghost vine branch. Mu Hanxing is not very interested in this thing at the moment. After all, she doesn't know what treasures there are in the ghost world, and she is not sure whether there is anything she needs.

The reason why this matter was spread all over the city was because she intended to get rid of someone through this incident.

At this time, the secret agents she had slowly spread out began to come in handy.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles." Know your enemy's weaknesses and then strike hard at those weaknesses. The more the enemy lacks something or needs something, the more you should give it to him, turning that thing into bait.

She called Qionghua, Qiuqiu, Huanchong and Gongyu to Xihe Palace to discuss matters separately. The reason why she did not call Xuanning was because he was a little too upright and he should not be allowed to interfere in evil matters, as it would cause trouble.

The reason why she didn't invite Jingchen and Fengxiao was because they were too cunning and at present she could only trust them 50%. She was also afraid that they would do something secretly and ruin her overall plan.

As for the Second City Lord Leng Feiren, his presence was too low. She could never remember him. He looked righteous and had a mild temper. He seemed to have no ideas and always followed her opinions. So she didn't take him into account for the time being.

Several people were called to the palace and questioned for a long time. Qionghua knew more because she was in contact with General Suzaku, and Huanchong told even more to express his loyalty.

The point is, Huan Chong discovered some clues when he was interrogating the detained rebels in the prison for her.

Mu Hanxing's eyes lit up: "Tell me in detail."

"One of them couldn't bear it anymore and confessed voluntarily. However, he didn't know much. He only told me that he had seen the two elders Feng Ping and Feng An instigating the second city lord to... rebel." Huan Chong said.

Mu Hanxing's expression changed after hearing this. She had tolerated the two of them's minor quarrels, but if they were involved in the plot to kill her, then there was no way she could forgive them.

Huan Chong was afraid that she would not believe it, so he deliberately showed her the confession letter with the prisoner's spiritual power symbol. The spiritual power symbol is similar to a signature, and with this symbol, the credibility is indeed much higher.

After reading it, Mu Hanxing's face became sullen and his eyes were extremely cold.

"What did the second city lord say at that time? Was he convinced?" Mu Hanxing asked again.

Huan Chong shook his head: "That person said that the Second City Lord was very angry after hearing this. He also said that the City Lord and himself were from the same school and were siblings, so how could he do such a heinous thing? It seems that he also punished the two elders."

Mu Hanxing didn't say anything, but frowned and thought about it. In the original script, Leng Feiren was indeed a relatively honest, gentle, and law-abiding person who didn't dare to do anything too outrageous.

At this time, Qiuqiu whispered, "I have seen the Second City Lord talking to the two elders a few times, but I didn't dare to eavesdrop. At that time, I thought it was normal for the City Lord to discuss matters with the elders."

This seems like forming a clique for personal gain.
