C457 White Feather Subjugation (1/2)

As the Peony City Lord spoke, Feng Qing and the rest came out of the horse carriage.

Qing Xun's gaze landed on Mu Ru Yue, who was getting off the carriage with a dark expression. However, when Mu Ru Yue raised her head, she had already returned to normal. He looked gentle and graceful.

Bai Yu came down with Mu Ru Yue. Qing Xun welcomed everyone into the City Lord's Mansion.

Mu Ru Yue and the rest were sitting in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion. Qing Xun bowed respectfully to Feng Qingqing and said, ”Your Highness, I have been negligent today and almost made a huge mistake. If it wasn't for the Seventh Princess coming in time, even a thousand deaths would not have been enough to atone for the sins. ”Please punish me, your majesty.”

Qing Xun's attitude was sincere. From the looks of it, there was nothing wrong with it. Feng Qing's gaze fell on Qing Xun. He looked at him and said, ”This matter has nothing to do with you. If something were to happen to the Japanese palace today, the Mayor would probably be in the same boat.

How could I suspect someone who would take the risk with me? ”

Feng Qing's attitude was rare for his to be so magnanimous.

When Qing Xun heard this, he said with an excited expression, ”Thank you, Your Highness.” After saying that, his gaze landed on Mu Ru Yue's side. He sighed and said, ”I really didn't expect that the current heroine, the Seventh Princess, would actually live up to her name in Peony City. And she really does live up to her name.”

Looking at Qing Xun's attitude, Mu Ru Yue felt even more disappointed. How could this person be Qing Xun, whom she knew? Thinking about this, Mu Ru Yue replied, ”City Lord is too kind. The things that happened today were all thanks to Young Noble Bai Yu's help.

If it wasn't for Young Master Bai Yu, this wangfei might still be locked up in the dungeon. ”

Mu Ru Yue asked coldly.

Bai Yu?

Qing Xun's gaze fell on Bai Yu, without being able to say whether he was happy or angry. Bai Yu smiled in embarrassment, ”You are a noble, how can I let something happen to a noble? This is what it should be, what it should be. ”

Although Bai Yu was respectful on the surface, he couldn't help but want to curse in his heart. This Seventh Princess was truly shameful! To speak of his matter at such a crucial moment, wasn't that just creating trouble for him?

Bai Yu only felt that when the City Lord gazed at him, it was with a sharp glint in his eye.

”If I remember correctly, you should be a descendant of the Bai Clan. It's really not bad for the Bai Clan to have a descendant like you. ” Qing Xun said.

”Thank you, City Governor, for your praise.” Bai Yu braced himself and said.

”Speak... I still have some things that I need to ask the City Lord. ” Mu Ru Yue looked at the City Lord and asked calmly. When Qing Xun heard this, he said doubtfully, ”If you have something to ask, then just ask. There is no need to be polite with me.”

”Then I will be frank. This time, I was captured and placed in an underground cage. One of them seemed to be a slave trader. This Peony City... Could it be that you're very supportive of this? ” Mu Ru Yue's tone was slightly serious.

As soon as she finished speaking, Qing Xun started laughing: ”You must be joking, my Peony City is one of the 12 cities in the coming month, how can it do such a dishonorable thing? How could a human's life be playful?

There are many types of bandits in Peony City. If they were to form an organization, they would often engage in some shady business, and they would even form alliances with many aristocratic families. There are also nobles from outside the city who would buy and sell people, which makes my head hurt a lot, but I was unable to do anything about it.

”It is fortunate that they did not succeed. Otherwise, I, as the city lord of Peony City, would likely be blamed for this.”

The City Lord of Peony City had a guilty expression as she spoke.

In terms of acting, this person's acting skills were way too good, right?
