She thought about it and went out.
She did not immediately follow the soldiers who came to ask for help.
Instead, she found Brother Zhao Fengxing and secretly asked them to go to Fengxue Temple to protect the old clan leader.
She went after Zhao Fengxing readily agreed.
She originally wanted to ask Di Fuyi to secretly protect the old clan leader, but Di Fuyi said he wanted to inquire about the news in the city, so he left just now and has not come back yet.
When Zhao Fengxing heard that she was going to the meeting, he was very worried: "Xijiu, I'll go with you."
The city lord was too insidious, and Zhao Fengxing was afraid that Gu Xijiu would suffer a loss if he went alone.
Gu Xijiu shook her head: "No need, I can go by myself."
This person cannot be offended for the time being, after all, more than a hundred of her people are still here to make a living.
Naturally she had to attend this banquet.
Although her current kung fu is not as good as that of the city lord, she has the teleportation technique, and she is not afraid of any poison.
If something goes wrong, she will just teleport and run away.
Besides, she also wanted to see if this Ye Ling was a Ye slave.
The pavilion is made of jade and has gold pillars, and the tables are filled with delicacies.
The place where Ye Ling entertained Gu Xijiu was an extremely luxurious restaurant.
The waiters in the restaurant are very well-dressed and work very hard.
Compared with the common people outside who are wearing rags and not having enough to eat, they are relatively well-off.
A table was set with all kinds of rare delicacies, which showed Ye Ling's sincerity in entertaining her.
When Gu Xijiu saw Ye Ling, he was sitting half-leaning on the railing, and two beauties behind him were beating his shoulders and fanning him.
He was wearing a purple robe, and there was light floating under the reflection of the night pearl, and the dragon on the robe was prancing under his feet as if it were alive.
The black hair was half disheveled, and the fox eyes on his forehead were shining with blood red luster.
Seeing her arrival, he stood up and smiled.
There was a hint of evil in that smile: "Miss Gu, this city lord thought you would bring a few more people.
Please sit down."
Gu Xijiu sat down opposite him and smiled: "If the city lord didn't invite Xijiu to attend the meeting alone, how could Xijiu bring others?"
Ye Ling stroked her palm: "Yes, Miss Gu is very energetic."
Gu Xijiu's lips curled up slightly: "I don't know what the city lord has to say when he calls Xijiu here."
Ye Ling smiled: "I can't say what the order was.
It's just that the city lord is a little curious about the girl and wants to talk to her."
Okay, let's just talk, she will be blocked by soldiers, and she will be covered by water and soil.
Ye Ling was quite polite to her, but he always had a condescending air.
In other words, he treats everyone like this, as if he is the king of this world and everyone else is an ant under his feet.
Ye Ling sat opposite her and chatted, asking the villagers in detail about their lives over the years, and asking about the origins of Gu Xijiu and Di Fuyi.
Like a superior person paying a private visit incognito.
Gu Xijiu's half-truths and half-false answers to his questions did not explain that she and Di Fuyi were from the upper world.
The situation is unclear now.
She is still standing on this person's territory.
There are some things that she still cannot tell.
She is not afraid of thieves stealing, but she is afraid that thieves will remember her.
She had thought up a plan of argument on the way here, and now her answer was watertight, without letting Ye Ling get anything valuable.
Gu Xijiu thought that Ye Ling was on guard against herself and Di Fuyi, and would focus on questioning her and Di Fuyi's origins.
But during the conversation, she felt that he seemed to be more concerned about the lives of the villagers over the years.
To be precise, what he focused on asking about was the life of the old patriarch:
