Chapter 158

===================

When they returned, Jin Jia had just finished writing two manuscripts and presented them to them happily.

Lian Yun took the manuscript and read it through...

Watched it again.

Watched it again.

She looked up at Jin Jia's sunny and positive expression, then lowered her head to look at the article in her hands: "A Painful Criticism of How Our Main City Has Become into This Disaster - In-Depth Visit" and another article: "The Great Sun and Moon Divine Cult - Our Bright Future!"

Something seems wrong no matter how I look at it.

Jin Jia patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, sir, I am following the Lord City Lord's instructions. I guarantee it will work!"

"I do believe you." Lian Yun nodded, "I'm just shocked by your talent."

Jin Jia blushed unexpectedly and scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Thank you, thank you, sir."

Lian Yun took the manuscript, walked over to the table, and picked up the gem. "Thank you, Lord City Lord."

The other side vaguely responded: "It's lunch break, don't bother me anymore."

Lian Yun smiled silently, handed the gem to Lan Na and asked him to keep it, then took out another red gem.

"I don't want your rebellion to continue until now."

"Do you understand?"

In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, a man wearing a heavy cloak sat on a chair, leaning against the high backrest, with his hands on the pure gold armrests.

The air was sticky and cold. Although there was a draft, it seemed as if every gust of wind brought with it a darkness blown in from the ditch, making it hard to breathe.

His voice was undeniable and powerful.

The next second it suddenly turned soft again.

"Good boy, you are the hope of our Hewlett family, do you know that?"

"Those things and people out there are rotten from the inside out. I'm just afraid they'll affect you. Do you understand me?"

Not far behind him, a tall man knelt on the ground with his hands on his knees, reflecting on himself in a pious manner.

But he said nothing.

The man sitting on the chair suddenly stood up, and a servant who had never appeared before walked out from the darkness by the window, knelt on the ground, and raised the cane in his hand high above his head.

The man took the handle and turned to the person kneeling behind him.

"Keep your head up, Mogo."

Mogo raised his head obediently.

The man had his back to the sun, and the bright light made Mogo's eyes blurry, and he couldn't help shedding tears.

"Chief, I always want to trust them. They behave so perfectly... I almost can't help but really believe them."

The man was speechless, his gloved fingertips slowly stroking the pure gold cane in his hand. After a long time, he let out a leisurely sigh.

The voice seemed to be filled with infinite tolerance: "Mogo, you have grown up by my side since you were a child. I really can't bear to scold you."

"You are young and playful, and you don't understand the ways of the world. I really don't know what to say to you."

"If it weren't for me, with your current personality and experience, you would have been tortured to death by others."

Mogo shed tears with an expressionless face: "Everything I have is given by you."

The man sighed and shook his head. "I've allowed you to enjoy all the honor and wealth. If it were anyone else, I don't know how to thank me. Yet, you've repeatedly ignored my kindness..."

"You know what, Mogo? If I had given everything I had to raise you to the magicians or the nobles, they would have all come to me on their knees to express their gratitude. But I chose you, who have accomplished nothing."

"Am I not good enough for you...? Mogo?"

"Ever since your parents left, I've been taking care of you. You've made so many mistakes... Alas, I forgive you, Mogo. I forgive you."

Mogo's expression finally began to relax, and the aroused guilt gradually climbed up his face and lowered his head.

"I'm sorry, Patriarch..."

"I won't do it again."

Mogo suddenly hugged his head. The noble young man in front of outsiders roared and sobbed. He clutched his hair tightly and begged for forgiveness from the man in front of him: "I won't, I won't do it again. I'm so sorry! Chief! I didn't tell them anything..."

No one could see the man's expression, but the atmosphere around him suddenly relaxed and the air became lively again.

"Go, good boy, I always forgive you. Go and enjoy your life and everything I have given you."

"It's Wednesday. Don't you love going to the auction house? Go ahead. The Hewlett family has endless money."

"It's Wednesday...I should go do my thing."

Mogo wiped his tears and raised his gem-like eyes, which sparkled with admiration. "Thank you for your forgiveness, Chief."

·

"...Still no news." Lanner held the ruby ​​and shook his head solemnly.

Lian Yun bit his lower lip.

For the first time, things went beyond her expectations.

Or in a path she had never imagined.

They had already subdued the puppets that were originally dispensable, and had also thought out the specific plan. Jin Jia had revised his manuscript several times.

But I never thought that there would be any problems here at Mogo.

Yesterday, they contacted Mogo.

Following Jinjia's intermittent dictation, Mogo carefully copied down Jinjia's manuscript and memorized their plan firmly.

Go find the puppets, tell them the plan, and spread the word.

Mogo told them that in order to be on the safe side and prevent any mistakes, he would confirm the plan with them one last time before going to the auction house on Wednesday.

But they have been waiting since before dawn.

There was no news from the other side of the gem.

Alicia, who was invited to join the analysis, couldn't help but worry: "Mogo, Mogo wouldn't make such a mistake. Will he be in danger?"

Even though she had a lot of experience, she couldn't help but mutter: "He shouldn't have refused the call, he shouldn't have..."

Lian Yun and Lana looked at each other and said nothing.

This was the second-to-last week of the plan, the last Wednesday before the war began.

The main city already knew that Bubu Town was looking for an alliance with Buli Lake City and Jiaota City. Although Kaisheng City was sandwiched between the two cities that had turned from darkness to light, it still resolutely chose its old master - the main city.

The day before yesterday, news came from Jiaota City that they had captured several people who tried to sneak into the city.

After torture, it was discovered that he was the one who founded the holy city.

It doesn't matter whether the Lord of Kaisheng City is eager to make a contribution or it is the instruction of the main city. The purpose of their actions is obvious - prepare for war.

Lian Yun checked the town again in the past two days. After ruling out the possibility of traitors among his own people, he temporarily sent back the people from Jiaota City who came to study.

Although the time was short, they had already learned enough knowledge.

The situation was serious, and the Lord of Jiaota City had no objection.

The first batch of elf archers were also sent over by Miao An the day before yesterday.

Miao An said that after helping them fight this battle, he would go out and try his luck.

Lina asked about Ian again.

Miao An pursed his lips and shook his head.

Lina felt a little disappointed, but Lian Yun promised her that he would take her back to the Elf Forest after settling the accounts with the main city.

Potion bottles have also been prepared on a large scale, and now with the elves, they can perfectly heal both internal and external injuries - in this regard they are completely superior to the main city.

But something went wrong with Mogo, the person we were least worried about.

"What if something really happens to him?" Alicia asked nervously.

Lian Yun shook his head slowly.

If you want to blame someone, blame her for relying too much on Mogo's identity and not even making more preparations despite Alicia's repeated assurances.

Now I'm so passive.

Alicia worried about her cousin's safety while scolding herself for being too talkative.

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have said those words."

Although she trusted Mogo, she shouldn't let everyone trust him.

"Don't blame yourself." Lian Yun patted her hand gently.

"I won't be going to the auction this week, but I'll still be going next week."

It doesn't matter whether Mogo betrayed them or had something really to hide.

"I won't back down."

"My Lord! The gem is shining!"

Lian Yun looked over instantly and found that the thing that was shining was the gem in Lana's hand.

That is the communication gem of the Lord of Buli Lake.

"...Lian Yun, are you there?"

"I'm here." Lian Yun frowned and looked at the time outside.

noon.

Normally, he should be taking a nap at this time, so why would he sacrifice his nap time to look for her?

"We've caught a few people here."

Lanna said on the side: "A few days ago, Jiaota City also caught a few, so there is no need to worry."

Lian Yun's brows were still furrowed.

She always felt that it was not that simple.

If it was a small matter like this that the Lord of Buli Lake had known might happen, he shouldn't have come to her at this time.

Either they found out some important information, or...

Sure enough, a negative voice came from the other side the next second: "You are not from Kaisheng City."

"I'm from the main city."

Lian Yun's heart tightened.

"Lord City Lord, please be more careful. Have you found out where they came from in the main city?"

There was silence for a few seconds.

"Lian Yun, you need to think about this carefully. It would be great if I could make the decision for you, but..."

The person on the other end muttered for a while, as if hesitating whether to say it out loud, but finally gritted his teeth and said it.

"It belongs to the Hewlett family."
