Chapter 382 Embarrassing situation
Lu Mo looked at Gao Qiang in front of him, and couldn't help but think of those people who asked the same question before. Behind each of them was a force seeking different interests.But the Gao Qiang in front of him is different. Lu Mo quickly glanced at the edict he relied on as proof in his hand just now.It clearly stated that Lu Mo should be verified, but the time was generally defined as when Lu Mo appeared, which became very interesting.

"Before going back to the last question, may I ask a few more questions? I really want to know whether this edict was brought with you when you took office, or left to you when the Supreme Master left?"

"Lu Mo, you are indeed cunning enough. Before I could say no, you asked first. But that's fine, I'll answer you kindly once, but if you don't answer the question just now honestly If you want to change it, don’t blame me for casually displaying it and reporting it to the Holy See.”

Hearing Gao Qiang's threatening speech, Lu Mo twitched his lips and nodded, waiting for Gao Qiang to answer his question first.If Gao Qiang hadn't been sitting in the right seat at this time, and his behavior was much higher than that of Lu Mo, some people might think that the one who was invited to drink tea was Gao Qiang.

"I brought this edict all the way from the Holy See. I really don't know what's so great about you. The Holy See pays so much attention to it."

"Okay, I know the answer, so I'll tell the truth, but I guess no matter what I say, no one will believe it..."

Now that Lu Mo had gotten the answer he wanted, fortunately, he brought up the speech he had prepared before.In order to make it easier for Xichen to deal with the city lord, Lu Mo once came up with a very reasonable argument for her. Coupled with the relationship between Xichen and the city lord, it should be very convincing.But at this time, this set of rhetoric comes from Lu Mo's mouth, and he is facing Gao Qiang, so it's hard to say whether he can pass the moral test.

"You actually said it was a coincidence? Do you think anyone will believe what you just said?"

"So, didn't I just say it, I'm afraid no one would believe it. If you would believe me, I wouldn't be in such an embarrassing situation."

"Hmph, what you said is not bad, but I don't think you will be embarrassed for long."

Lu Mo keenly caught a trace of information from Gao Qiang's unintentional words. Gao Qiang said that this embarrassing situation would not last for too long.Two meanings can be deduced from this high-strength speech. One is that Gao Qiang may have follow-up means to deal with Lu Mo, and the other is that the situation in Sin City will soon change greatly, and Lu Mo is likely to be embarrassed. chances are gone.

"Okay, you can go, I still have to find a way to make a deal. By the way... I heard that you didn't go missing together with the other one?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"No problem, you can go."

Gao Qiang completed the verification routinely, but obviously he was not very satisfied with the result, and he needed to think about the reply from the Holy See himself.Just as Lu Molin was leaving, Gao Qiang suddenly asked about Lu Mo's recent situation, and Lu Mo responded casually and left.But as soon as Lu Mo turned around and left, Lu Mo's expression changed. He also changed his face, and Gao Qiang showed a cold face.

"Damn it...Damn it."

Lu Mo had already left the camp of the Sword and Shield Corps at this time, and Lu Mo suddenly stopped and cursed.Lu Mo had already come to his senses at this time. Where did Gao Qiang ask casually just now? He clearly dug a hole for himself in the end.No wonder Lu Mo felt that Gao Qiang was so easy to dismiss just now. It turned out that his real purpose was the last question.This question simply exposes too many problems, whether it is the party asking the question or the party answering.

Lu Mo and Xichen had been missing until they were left in the Corps' records, but Gao Qiang knew that the two were not missing at the same time. As the successor of the Supreme Master, Gao Qiang could not have known this.Obviously, someone told Gao Qiang these things, and at the same time prepared the edict for Gao Qiang, so the matter became clear, and the person who left Gao Qiang as an ambush was undoubtedly the Supreme Master.

The purpose of the Supreme Master to come to Sin City at the beginning was to hinder the city owner, but now the Supreme Master left Sin City but left Gao Qiang as an ambush, which shows that the mission of the Supreme Master is still continuing.It is very clear who is behind the Supreme Master. The seemingly complicated situation in the city of sin is actually to deal with the city lord directly or indirectly.What exactly the city lord intends to do will make the gods so wary.

Although Lu Mo had a windfall, his carelessness just now also exposed a lot of information to him.Since Lu Mo could find the person he was looking for in the boundary gate, then Lu Mo's previous remarks were true and false.In addition, Lu Mo believes that Gao Qiang definitely investigated Xichen, even if Gao Qiang didn't expect it, the Supreme Master would have told him.Thinking about it, Gao Qiang will inevitably come to a conclusion. The relationship between Lu Mo and the city lord is self-evident through Xichen.

"It's over... I'm already in an awkward situation. Letting Gao Qiang make things out of nothing will definitely make my situation even more difficult. And all of this..."

Lu Mo had already realized at this time that he would be targeted by the Holy See, and all of this had nothing to do with the city lord. No wonder after Lu Mo and Xichen returned to Sin City, the city lord sent Lu Mo to join him. Called over, it turned out that the city lord had this idea.

The identity of the city lord must be clear to the Holy See. Even though the relationship between the Zhou family and the city lord is secret, it is clear that the Holy See has already set its sights on the Zhou family.Now the city lord is using such a dark trick, so that the Lu family is considered to be on the side of the city lord.The city lord's move was really ruthless. Since the Lu family helped the Zhou family share the pressure, it also used this to make those pure land forces who would make mistakes feel scruples.

"Xichen, are you still with the city lord? Is the city lord planning to assign us some tasks?"

"Yeah, how do you know? Did I just say that?"

"Should we form a team similar to a special squad?"

"Yeah, amazing, how did you know? Uncle just told me that my 72nd team is gone, and it's impossible for you to return to 35th team, so..."

Xichen was still talking over there, but Lu Mo let out a long sigh, feeling very depressed in his heart.After Lu Mo realized the intention of the city lord, he immediately thought that the city lord must have something to say.Contacted Xichen through the soul connection, and sure enough, the city lord's arrangement for Lu Mo and Xichen was similar to what he had just guessed. This seemed to confirm that Lu Mo's appearance was hiding a huge conspiracy.

During Lu Mo's contact with Zhu Gui and the bald chairman in the past two days, the other party once hinted that he would stay out of the matter.Maybe it's because Lu Mo stayed with Xichen in the Huanlong Clan for too long recently, so he naively thought that the father-daughter relationship between the city lord and Xichen was solid, but he never thought that the city lord would pass through Xichen, even with his hands. Lu Mo was calculated into it.

"Lu Mo, did you hear that? Uncle just told me that he needed to find you, and he sent an adjutant out to find you. If you come out of the Sword and Shield Corps, come here quickly, remember to pay attention to that adjutant. "

When Lu Mo heard Xichen talk about the city lord seeing him, he immediately felt a little more upset, but since the city lord took the initiative to find him, he could just go and see what the city lord was up to.Thinking of this, Lu Mo immediately turned around and followed the main road to the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.As for the adjutant that Xichen just mentioned, Lu Mo still needs to pay attention.You can't tell the city lord that I didn't meet your adjutant, but Xichen called me here.

Lu Mo took the nearest main road, and he met the adjutant Xi Chen mentioned.The adjutant didn't know that Lu Mo appeared in front of him on purpose, and he thought he was lucky, and he could save some effort by meeting Lu Mo on the way.The adjutant immediately explained his purpose to Lu Mo. Of course, Lu Mo went with him properly. Isn't that why Lu Mo appeared in front of him on purpose.

"Lu Mo, here we come, come and sit down."

Lu Mo was taken to a small guest room of the city lord's mansion by the city lord's adjutant. As soon as he entered the door, the city lord called Lu Mo to come and sit.Lu Mo looked around. Lu Mo had never been here before. The small guest room was not big, and it was decorated like an ordinary living room.Xichen and the city lord were sitting on the sofa chatting at this time, Lu Mo nodded towards the two, moved to sit next to Xichen.

"How is it? That Gao Qiang didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

"Could it be that he didn't, but he suffered a secret loss. This person is really cunning, but he is still a little worse than the city lord."

"Oh...it seems that you have a big opinion on me?"

The city lord was not surprised that Lu Mo saw through his calculations, and even asked Lu Mo kindly if he had any objections to him.Lu Mo gritted his teeth secretly, not only did Lu Mo have a problem with the city lord, but he was itching with hatred.But Lu Mo finally suppressed it. After all, he still blamed himself for not thinking about it beforehand, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen for it so unknowingly.

"City Lord... Do you know that you have put Xichen and I in a very awkward situation right now?"

"Of course I know this, and I told Xichen just now that I intend to let you organize a team similar to the special team back then. I think that your situation may become difficult at that time."

"Then why do you still do this? I always thought that the relationship between you and Xichen is like a father and daughter."

Lu Mo's words made the city lord fall into silence. Xichen had been listening for a long time at this time, and somewhat understood.Both Lu Mo and Xichen focused their eyes on the city lord. After a long silence, the city lord shook his head and let out a long sigh.

"Perhaps you will think that I am unreasonable, or even that I am using you. Naturally, Lu Mo has no relationship with me, but what I want to say is, Xichen, I have regarded you as my own daughter for so many years Treat them the same, the emotion between you and me is absolutely real, but I have my purpose, so I have to act like this at this time, I hope you can understand."

After the city lord finished speaking, he let out another long sigh. Xichen remained silent after listening to it. Lu Mo's eyes wandered between the two of them, and the three of them didn't speak for a while.
