"The first question!"
Su Qing asked calmly, "What kind of person do you think the city lord is?"
Looking at everyone's expressions, he was slightly taken aback, then pondered deeply, and then began to struggle, wanting to say something.
Su Qing found the person who reacted the fastest.
"You're the one!"
Su Qing approached the man, her tone a half-smile: "Don't try to call for help. Before you can even make a sound, I can snap your neck!"
The calm words sent a shiver down the man's spine, and he nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.
Su Qing took the rag out of his mouth: "Speak, I want to hear the most truthful answer."
The man shuddered again, his mind racing as he searched for the most appropriate answer: "The city lord is very charming and capable. Since taking over the city of disaster, it has become even more prosperous than before!"
"Is there anything else?" Su Qing continued to ask.
Seeing the man shake his head blankly, he stuffed the rag back in: "I'm sorry, your answer did not satisfy me."
Mmm!
Someone else wants to speak.
Su Qing listened to them one by one; although some were true and some were false, most were just rumors.
But the image in my mind gradually became more three-dimensional.
A ruthless and lustful woman seduced the previous city lord with her body, and after the previous city lord died, she took over as the new city lord and made the disaster city even more prosperous.
She kept three hundred male concubines in the city lord's mansion and had some unique hobbies, especially favoring young men with outstanding physiques.
Su Qing looked down at her protruding belly, sighed, and her expression suddenly turned sorrowful as she looked at these people: "After decades, I never expected Xiao Hong to have turned into this!"
The slaves were stunned. Their buttocks were burning and they were in excruciating pain, but their attention was immediately drawn to these words.
Little Red? Could you be referring to the City Lord?
You should know that what they were just talking about was the city lord.
Want to hear my story?
Su Qing turned the fire down a bit, and without waiting for anyone's agreement, she spoke on her own.
"Once upon a time, there was a little boy and a little girl. Their families were neighbors and lived in a small mountain village that was like a paradise. They played together and grew up together. The little girl was a year older than the little boy and always considered herself his older sister."
"This continued until they were about thirteen or fourteen years old!"
"The girl grew more and more beautiful, attracting many ill-intentioned people who coveted her beauty and tried to bribe her parents with money."
"Ten gold coins—the villagers in this small mountain village had never seen such a large sum of money before, and the girl's parents were tempted."
"After the girl found out, she came to the boy's house that very night, stared at him with determined eyes, and asked him if he would like to go with her."
"The girl said that if the boy was willing, they would leave together; if the boy was unwilling, or afraid, she would leave with those people tomorrow."
Su Qing looked up at the sky, seemingly somewhat melancholy. This appearance made the hearts of the slaves tighten.
Did the boy agree?
Judging from your appearance, does that mean the boy refused? Well, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old kid can't be that strong.
"The boy agreed!"
Su Qing's next words relieved the slaves, but they quickly became tense again.
“They fled overnight, but how could children know how to get out of the mountains? Besides, there were people guarding the village exit, so their only way out was to go up the mountain.”
"When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, torches were lit in the village, and the people discovered that the girl had run away. They followed the tracks and chased after her up the mountain."
"Two little children could not outrun those adults. In the end, they were caught and stood on the edge of a cliff."
"The boy and girl looked into each other's eyes. The girl asked the boy if he would like to die with her. At that moment, the boy's heart was filled with the girl. Without thinking, he agreed and they agreed to jump down together."
Su Qing sighed: "They jumped together, but just before they fell, the girl was grabbed by the arm, and only the boy fell."
"The girl was captured, but the boy who fell did not die. A tree growing on the cliff caught him, and he found an opportunity in a cave next to the tree, began to cultivate, and became a knight."
"After that, the boy kept searching for the girl until he came to a place called the City of Disaster."
At this point, the slaves suddenly realized what was happening, and their gazes toward the fat, dark-skinned man in front of them instantly turned into awe.
This person is actually the city lord's old lover. Did he come here to find the city lord?
They absolutely must not offend them. If the other party rekindles their old relationship with the city lord and says a few bad things about him, they'll be doomed.
Whether this guy was lying or not, these slaves had no interest in considering that; all they needed to know was that the person in front of them was someone they couldn't afford to offend.
Seeing that these guys had become obedient, Su Qing nodded in satisfaction. Although the story he had made up on the spot had many flaws, it was enough to fool these uneducated slaves.
He has no intention of leaving the city lord's mansion for the time being and may stay here for a while. In order to prevent these guys from causing trouble for him every now and then, it is necessary to scare them a little.
At least for now, it seems to be working very well.
Put the slaves down and look at them: "I came here just to see Xiao Hong, but I don't know if she's still willing to see me now, so I don't want anyone to cause me any trouble during this time."
