Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 178 The story of the mantis catching the cicada

Yueyang people are not uncommon in Rongcheng. As a neighbor of Zhuwang, Yueyang occupies the most fertile plains of the Immortal Alliance, which has created a thousand years of prosperity. In terms of population and industry, Yueyang even led Zhuwang several times, until the not particularly successful land reclamation a hundred years ago, which consumed too much vitality and caused a hundred years of political turmoil, and Yueyang was slightly quiet.

But as Zhuwang's closest neighbor to the north, the exchanges between the two countries have always been the most frequent and the most intimate.

Among the more than 20 million permanent residents in Rongcheng, there are more than 100,000 people from Yueyang - this number once reached 500,000 before Yueyang's land reclamation a hundred years ago.

Jinghua District, Jianmu District 3... Even places like Shijie, which are full of rural atmosphere, are always full of Yueyang people, but generally they don't deliberately wear the costumes of their own country to show their identity.

Therefore, the four Yueyang people who left Xueshuang Tower, after lightly changing the conspicuous thick belts and white short clothes, walked on the streets of Rongcheng, and there was no difference between them and the locals around them.

Therefore, their conversation seemed quite casual.

"Boss He, Boss Zhu, thank you both for your hard work today." Mu Yuqing said.

The two middle-aged men were terrified: "What are you talking about, sir? It is our honor to serve Fenglou."

"Hehe, is this kind of insincere cliché also part of the honor?"

The hypocritical middle-aged man shut up immediately. After a moment, Zhu Dinghuang asked in confusion: "Sir, why set up such a trap? Excuse me, this method of testing is to avoid being...too offensive."

Mu Yuqing smiled and said: "It is to offend people. If you don't offend people, how can you tell the truth about a person. I told you that a person's nature is most easily revealed when he is aggressive. Comparing the performance of the parties at the dinner table this time, don't you think it makes sense?"

Zhu Dinghuang was stunned and nodded: "It is true when you say that. Zhang Fulu is weak, vain, and reserved, so even when he is in a clear situation, the most offensive words are left to the elders, and he always plays the role of a gentleman. Several The old guy has no scheming and no rules. He is just arrogant and does things without considering the consequences. "

He Xiangxi added: "Zhang Fuhong is more interesting. He is literally arrogant and aggressive, like a villain who has succeeded. But in fact, when you think about it carefully, every word he says is still within the boundaries, and he didn't even say a swear word. This kind of person has deep scheming, but is used to covering it up in a superficial way..."

Finally, Mu Yuqing concluded: "And Wang Luo is just like the records in the materials. He has the arrogant look of the ancient cultivator written on his face."

"Arrogant?" Zhu Dinghuang was puzzled, "How can you tell this?"

Mu Yuqing smiled, without giving a detailed explanation, just said: "In short, the data is correct, and our work has achieved some stage results, but it is only a staged success. The focus is..."

Before she finished speaking, Mu Yuqing suddenly felt a dark cloud on her head.

To be precise, a giant man suddenly appeared behind him, like a dark cloud covering the sky. His burly body blocked the colorful lights around him and cast a hideous shadow.

Mu Yuqing's smile suddenly withered, her hair stood up instinctively, and her true energy expanded. But soon, the expansion was forcibly suppressed.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to kill people." The voice seemed old, but still full of vitality, like an old volcano, "I just want to chat with Yueyang's colleagues."

The next moment, Xiaobu, the maid who followed Mu Yuqing, groaned in pain and squatted down weakly. The two middle-aged men were sweating profusely and dared not move.

Although the strong man's tone was soft, it seemed like the last dormancy of a vicious beast before pouncing on its prey, and every syllable concealed the risk of eruption.

"I know there's a nice little tavern nearby. You guys shouldn't mind my hospitality, right?"

As he spoke, the old giant stretched out his hand and pushed. Although there was no actual contact, the four Yueyang people felt a surge of power at the same time, and they fell forward involuntarily.

The next moment, the world in front of them seemed to be distorted by a vortex.

When they came to their senses again, the Yueyang people had appeared in a dark little room.

A round table, four benches, and an old giant who looked like a beast.

"Okay, welcome to my tavern. Next, you can answer whatever I ask."

Zhu Dinghuang said anxiously: "You can't imprison us. We are..."

Bang!

A heavy punch hit the middle-aged Yueyang man's nose directly, instantly smashing his nose and the magic weapon on his chest for protection, and making him fall backwards, with the back of his head hitting the wall of the small room.

"You idiot, you don't understand what I'm saying? I haven't asked you yet." The giant cursed, and then looked at Mu Yuqing, "Don't get me wrong, I haven't started to show my strength yet, so don't rush to evaluate my background, we will have plenty of opportunities later."

Mu Yuqing nodded honestly.

"Bah, you are quite sensible." The giant spat, "The first question, why do you want to test Wang Luo?"

He Xiangxi was sweating profusely, looking at Mu Yuqing in fear, as if he was afraid that she would say something she shouldn't say.

But Mu Yuqing did not hide anything: "Because our owner believes that there should be no unplanned variables in the process of Rongcheng's land reclamation. What is needed for land reclamation is careful deployment and strict execution, rather than arbitrary appointment of pioneers and changes in plans. Although Rongcheng is the leader of this land reclamation, Yueyang, as a neighboring country, has a greater obligation than any other country to ensure that Zhuwang people will not go astray... repeat our mistakes! Mr. Han Wu, are you satisfied with this answer?"

"Oh, you actually know me." Han Wu was a little surprised, "It seems that the colleagues in Yueyang Chilou are not just trash. I thought that the last time you were pioneering, the owner of Chilou turned the wasteland into wasteland, which made you completely marginalized and collectively declined."

When these words came out, the three people except Mu Yuqing were obviously a little angry.

Han Wu immediately laughed: "Yes, being provoked by a word from others is my impression of walking in the Red Tower. So, the second question, this little guy surnamed Mu, which group are you in?"

Mu Yuqing was silent for a long time before sighing: "The head of the listener, it is really eye-opening... I am indeed a subordinate of the Red Tower, but I do not directly obey the Red Tower Master. Can Mr. Han accept this explanation?"

Han Wu's smile also restrained a little, and the beast-like aggressiveness was immediately replaced by rationality.

"I can't see that you are a subordinate of the Lord of Yueyang, Bu Tianjun, so it is also Bu Tianjun's intention to test Wang Luo?"

"Sorry, even if you break my nose, I can't answer this question."

"Tsk."
