"I'm sorry to keep you guys waiting, I'm Ning Keran, the city lord of Ningcheng, and this is my son Ning Yu." A middle-aged woman with a slightly fatter figure and a slightly out-of-shape figure walked in, with a peaceful smile on her face.

Her appearance is purely the kind of person who is not easy to find when you throw your hands in the crowd, and even her eyes are gentle. It is really difficult to associate her with the lord of a city, but she has already introduced herself clearly .

No few people were made to wait for too long, or to be precise, almost no one was made to wait. The maid in the mansion had just poured the tea and retreated out, and then the city lord of Ningcheng came in. It's just a polite statement from others.

These few people definitely don't judge people by their appearance, but Wu Qingya has always believed in her own judgment and intuition. Her eyes drifted past the man behind City Lord Ning. However, Wu Qingya's intuition told her that this man was definitely not as timid as he appeared on the surface.

"The city lord is being polite, we are the ones who came here rashly, taking the liberty!" These words were actually to test how the city lord Ning guessed that they would come to the city lord's mansion, but who knew that the other party just responded politely as before, as if he didn't hear it at all. This subtext is average.

"I don't know where they are from? They should not be the people of my Ningcheng."

Nonsense, isn't this talking nonsense with your eyes open?

But Yili still replied politely, "We are from the Cangming Kingdom, and we are going home via Guicheng."

"It turned out to be a distinguished guest from Cangming, then... Excuse me, may I ask how many people came to me..." City Lord Ning hesitated to speak, but the meaning of the question was already very obvious.

【Miss, this city lord is really unhappy, he keeps going around. 】Xiaoxue is not familiar with human nature, so naturally she doesn't like such polite words very much, and her face shows impatience.

Wu Qingya ignored her, glanced at Ge Wushuang and gave him more control over what to say.

This is a country where women are respected. Although Nalan Tianyou has ascended the throne as the emperor, women have been in charge of the foundation and power for hundreds of years. Today, women are still officials, and the city lords of various cities should also be held by women.

But the more this is the case, the more she cares about Ge Wushuang's feelings.At the same time, thinking about the question of the empress, Wu Qingya's thoughtful gaze once again passed over Ning Yu, the son of the city lord who had been silent since entering the door.

Ge Wushuang smiled back at her, he understood her careful thoughts, and at the same time felt warm in his heart.It's just that Yaya thought about it more, so he didn't have so many petty thoughts and pettiness, but he was still happy that she cared about him.

"It's like this. I heard that many boys disappeared nearby for no reason, but just now at the gate of the city, I heard that such a thing did not happen in Ningcheng. Respect." Now that the topic has reached this point, there is no need to practice Tai Chi anymore, but what Ge Wushuang said is true and false.

Wu Qingya was keenly aware that when Wushuang mentioned that a boy had disappeared along the way, Ning Yu, who had been expressionless all this time, still lowered her brows and made a submissive and quiet introverted appearance, but gently moved the corner of her mouth .

Wu Qingya's eyebrows twitched slightly, he seemed to disagree with what Ge Wushuang said!why?

"Hahaha~ Thank you for your honor! It's not a matter of good governance, but the buildings in Ningcheng are more conducive to defense. Furthermore, since this is a gateway city, our guards are stricter in their investigations," she said. When he said this, his eyes drifted over to the son sitting next to him, but there was nothing wrong with it.

But precisely because of this subtle action, Wu Qingya seemed to have grasped some clues in her heart, but she still couldn't draw a conclusion.

"However, what puzzles us is: How does the city lord know that we will come to your mansion instead of leaving directly?" Ge Wushuang raised the corners of his mouth playfully.

Ning Keran and Ning Yu were taken aback for a moment, and quickly glanced at each other. This housekeeper is really serious, how could he disclose such important information.

Immediately, Ning Keran's face was a little embarrassed. You must know that she just pretended to know nothing and asked why the other party came to the City Lord's Mansion!Didn't you slap yourself in the face!

"Oh~ I made some of you laugh!" However, the city lord was obviously not in vain, and he turned from embarrassment in just an instant.

"Then I'll make it clear that people don't speak dark words!" Ning Keran glanced at his son and said, "I just said that you have heard about the strange incident of the boy's disappearance all the way here, in fact, when you just arrived in the city When the door opened, it had already attracted the attention of Yu'er who was patrolling the city wall in the distance, and because of the unfamiliar face, Yu'er paid more attention."

Several people nodded to express their understanding, which is reasonable.

Speaking of this, the son of the city lord named Ning Yu finally raised his head and looked directly at the few people. Since he had only taken a quick glance before and could not see his appearance clearly, he could already see him clearly now. The net looks very comfortable.

Presumably, except for Xiaoxue, the other three people noticed that under his fair and scholarly appearance, there was a strong and unyielding color in his dark eyes.

On the city wall in the distance?No wonder the few people didn't feel that someone was observing them at the time. They thought the distance was far away, but how did he know such a long distance?

Ning Keran naturally knew the questions of the few people, and continued to explain, "Although my son is far away, it is not easy for the few people to notice, but because he has a self-made thing that can be viewed from a distance within a certain range, and he can use it according to The lip movements of several people can analyze the content of speech of several people."

Obviously, the inadvertent expression on the face of City Lord Ning when he said this was very proud of his son.

Wu Qingya suddenly realized that this man could understand lip language, but she was more interested in the thing she created herself, from a distance?This reminded her of a modern item, "It turns out that Mr. Yu understands lip language, he is really talented!"

Lips?This word is also appropriate.

When Wu Qingya praised her as a talent, Ning Yu didn't disdain her, but a glint of joy flashed in her eyes, but it disappeared quickly.

"Why doesn't Mr. Yu talk?" Hearing the conversation of several people and Wu Qingya's appreciation for Ning Yu, Xiaoxue looked at Ning Yu curiously.But at this moment, she was a little dissatisfied. This young man is really strange. He has never spoken since he entered the door, except for nodding his head to say hello. Even when the young lady praised him now, he didn't even reply. It's really rude.

"Xiaoxue, don't be rude!" Wu Qingya naturally knew that Xiaoxue was displeased with the other party's rudeness to her, but she still reprimanded her.

Xiaoxue pursed her mouth in grievance and didn't say anything else.

"It's not the girl's fault, it's just..." City Lord Ning was about to explain when the guide who had left before suddenly walked in.

"City Lord, this subordinate has something to report!"

He walked up to City Lord Ning and whispered a few words before quickly retreating.

City Lord Ning was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, and then quickly returned to normal, but when he looked at the few people again, there were clearly some doubtful guesses in his eyes.

"Ah, I'm sorry everyone, what did I say just now!" Ning Keran found a good linking word for himself and then continued on his own, "Ah, that's right! You can't blame the girl, this girl has doubts It's normal, it's just my son, alas..." Ning Keran's eyes were struggling, she suddenly wanted to gamble!
