Chapter 256: You won’t really let the monster in, right?

Yang Xiangwei checked the materials and found that they were not enough. She kept them in mind for the time being and planned to ask them to help collect them after the matter in Lanwa Town was settled.

He is a God, so naturally he should let his subordinates do such errands.

And the other side.

Inside the Scorpion Temple, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it made people feel breathless.

The high priest sat on the high altar, holding the black scepter tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the force.

When another spy stumbled into the temple and knelt down to report the news of defeat, the high priest's eyes instantly widened with disbelief and anger.

With a "bang", the scepter in his hand slammed heavily to the ground, making a dull and deafening sound.

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

The high priest roared hysterically, and the air in the temple seemed to tremble with his anger.

"If you can't even handle a few brats, what's the point of keeping you around?"

His voice echoed in the empty temple, making everyone present tremble with fear.

He really didn't take the mother and daughter seriously, but he didn't expect that his men were so useless. Even after sending monsters to help, they still couldn't deal with the two women.

woman!

It's just a woman!

Someone whispered to explain that those two women were not ordinary women and that ordinary men could not compete with them. He got so angry that he kicked the person.

"waste!"

“They are all garbage!”

…

The deputy priest saw that the high priest had vented his anger, so he stepped forward cautiously and said, "High priest, calm down. In my opinion, the repeated failures outside may be just as they said, that the mother and daughter have helpers. Why don't we change our thinking and invite them to the temple. The temple is our territory, and many arrangements are under our control. Then we will catch the turtle in the jar."

The high priest frowned and said impatiently: "Please? How can they come obediently?"

The deputy priest raised his lips slightly, revealing a sly smile: "Don't worry, High Priest, we can ask the government to come forward. If they want to do business in Lanwa Town, they have to give face to the government. Otherwise, the government can just find an offering and make them close down. They will definitely not dare to refuse.

Furthermore, we also have the giant hook poisonous scorpion beast. We will hide this beast in the secret room of the temple. As long as they step into the temple, the giant hook poisonous scorpion beast will attack and kill them by surprise. ”

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in the high priest's eyes. After thinking for a moment, he slammed the table and said, "Okay! Just as you said. Contact the people in the government office immediately and make sure that mother and daughter come to the temple without any defense. If we fail again this time, neither you nor I will be able to face the temple!"

The deputy priest took the order and quickly found the government office.

He took out a heavy bag of gold, waved it in front of Lord Lu, and whispered, "Sir, if this is accomplished, you will benefit greatly in the future. You only need to come forward and invite Meng Qi and her daughter to the Poison Scorpion Temple on the grounds that Lanwa Town is stable."

Lord Lu looked at the bag of gold with greed in his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he took the bag and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll send someone to ask for it right away."

Soon, the yamen runners delivered the post to Mengqi and her daughter's shop.

Meng Qi took the invitation and looked at Meng Na, and a hint of vigilance flashed in their eyes.

Mengna snorted coldly: "Humph! This government office is in the same boat as the Scorpion Temple. Neither of them is a good thing!"

Meng Qi comforted her daughter: "They won't be rampant for much longer. When the Mountain God completely takes control of Lanwa Town, we will have the final say here."

Hearing this, it was Mona who had a smile on her face, full of anticipation.

They definitely would not go to the Scorpion Temple. Not only that, they also wrote a letter to provoke the other party, so that they would have the guts to come to the Dream Palace.

Watching the letter being sent away by the people below, Mona showed a smug smile on her face: "Mom, those people in the Poison Scorpion Temple will definitely be furious now."

Meng Qi frowned slightly, but her eyes were firm: "They will definitely not give up after this provocation. We have to speed up our preparations."

As expected, after the Scorpion Temple received the letter, the high priest tore it to pieces on the spot.

He roared: "This mother and daughter simply don't know how to live or die!"

The atmosphere in the temple was solemn. Everyone lowered their heads and dared not make a sound.

In a rage, the Scorpion Temple began to threaten local forces in Lanwa Town, such as the government office and Qiong Winery.

The high priest sent messengers to various places, delivering a vicious message: "If you don't send the mother and daughter to the Poison Scorpion Temple, don't blame Lord Poison Scorpion for ignoring Lanwa Town and allowing the monsters to attack the town!"

Lord Lu was startled at first, then his face was filled with worry.

He was well aware of the ruthlessness of the Scorpion Temple, but was also afraid of the power of Meng Qi and her daughter, so he didn't know what to do.

After thinking it over again and again, he called together several trusted advisors to discuss countermeasures.

A master said cautiously: "Sir, we can't afford to offend the Poison Scorpion Temple, but Meng Qi and her daughter are not easy to deal with either. If we act rashly, I'm afraid..."

Lord Lu waved his hands irritably, "Of course I know, but if we don't do as I say, and the Scorpion Temple really lets the monsters in, there will be disaster for all the people in Lanwa Town! Go and ask Deputy Manor Master Yu if Manor Master Qiu has returned."

"Yes, sir."

…

Qiu Li is still in Niba Eighteenth Village, of course he hasn't come back.

So, Yu Zhongdou went to the yamen as a representative of Qiongjiu Winery and met Lord Lu.

Yu Zhongdou, who knew what was going on, had no good feelings towards Lord Lu, so he pretended to be embarrassed and agreed to him: "Okay, then I'll think of a way to see if I can invite Madam Meng and her daughter to the Poison Scorpion Temple."

He also muttered to himself, he couldn't understand, if the Poison Scorpion Temple wanted to find someone, they could just go to the person's house directly, why did they have to invite the person to the Poison Scorpion Temple?

Lord Lu looked down on this and thought that Yu Zhongdou was really "stupid". He also didn't know what was wrong with Qiu Li's eye that he allowed such a person who was just waiting to die to be promoted to the position of deputy owner.

When I was away from home, I didn't know how to keep any useful help. Now, if something happens in the town, there is no one to discuss it with.

The atmosphere in Lanwa Town became unusually tense, and all parties were watching.

There was even news that the Meng mother and daughter had offended the Poison Scorpion Temple, and the Poison Scorpion Temple had already announced that if the two of them did not go to the Temple to apologize, the Poison Scorpion Temple would no longer care about the monsters outside and would allow them to break into Lanwa Town.

People were talking about it on the streets.

While tidying up her stall, Aunt Zhang, a vegetable seller, whispered to the person next to her: "What should we do? If the monster really comes, what will we ordinary people do?"

Brother Li, who was selling cloth nearby, also sighed: "Meng's mother and daughter don't look like bad people, but we can't afford to offend the Poison Scorpion Temple."

Someone saw Yu Zhongdou rushing into the Dream Mansion with an anxious look on his face.

I don’t know what they talked about in there, I only know that Yu Zhongdou was kicked out, and he was cursing at their door, saying that they were too much and didn’t care about other people’s lives.

When everyone saw that the Meng mother and daughter were going too far and didn't even give face to the Qiong Winery, they became even more worried - would the Scorpion Temple really let the monster in?
