"I do have confidence in you, but not in Qu He. Look at the way he behaves, he is not reassuring at all." Yan Qingqiu thought that something was not right. He had a vague feeling that something was wrong and he should not have agreed to it at all.

"Otherwise, I'll let Yan Qingqiu take you away first, and I'll handle this here." Li Rongsen thought about it and this was the only solution.

"How are you going to deal with this?" An Yan asked him, looking a little serious.

Li Rongsen said: "I will beat him."

"Please be kind to me. If he beats you beyond recognition, you won't be able to live like a human being." Yan Qingqiu pulled Li Rongsen aside.

An Yan said: "Okay, don't worry about it, it's not a big deal."

"You seem to never care about life and death." The eldest lady of the East Mansion frowned.

"Of course I am afraid of death, but I have already promised it, so I have to do it." An Yan said with a smile.

Soon, many spectators came to the stands. No one knew where they came from. Many of them were strangers to An Yan, and even the old man was someone she had never met before.

But there were three people they were very familiar with.

Bei Mo from the North Courtyard got off the luxurious carriage. He had accumulated more wealth after doing business with Li Rongsen. He came to Anyan and said to her, "I heard that you will receive three slaps from him."

"That's exactly what you mean." An Yan nodded.

"The life of the Lord of West City is much more precious than those ten pearls." Bei Mo said seriously and glanced at Li Rongsen again.

An Yan just chuckled and didn't answer.

Li Rongsen glanced at Bei Mo, motioning him to come to the side, and asked him, "Did you bring anyone with you?"

"Everything has been arranged. We will never let him take over West City easily." Bei Mo told Li Rongsen firmly.

Li Rongsen nodded. He was determined to keep An Yan's position as the Lord of West City at all costs. How could he allow others to covet it? He then gave the old man another look.

The old man also came over and said, "The West City is also ready. At worst, we can just go to war."

"Okay. Then just wait." Li Rongsen nodded slightly.

"I'm going to assassinate Qu He." Yan Qingqiu suddenly came in and spoke.

"Of course that won't work." The old man frowned.

Li Rongsen looked at Yan Qingqiu and said, "Don't worry, I won't let Anyan get hurt."

At this time, the old man from the southern suburbs came over and said, "It's been a long time since it's been so lively here."

"Stop talking nonsense, you old bastard." The old man sneered at him.

"Why? This is the city lord you chose, yet you have so little confidence in her? I am full of confidence in her." The old man from Nanjiao laughed and then walked to his seat.

The next person to come over was Qinghua, the mountain master of Huashe Mountain. He came up to An Yan and said, "Although you are the city master, you are a woman after all. How can you promise a man to hit you three times? You should let the old man come forward."

"That's true." Yan Qingqiu nodded slightly.

The old man also said: "I would like to, but the city lord doesn't want to, and Qu He doesn't want to either."

Qinghua said: "It's really troublesome. It would be better to wipe him out at once. Why do we have to give him a chance? It will only make him more arrogant. We might as well just kill him."

Everyone was curious. Qinghua used to be a nosy person, but now he is quite helpful to Xicheng. They heard him say to Li Rongsen, "I brought half of my brothers here today. Let me know if you have anything to say."

Li Rongsen nodded and said, "Okay, just listen to the instructions later."

The old man thought that Li Rongsen was very powerful, as he had managed to deal with the lords of the four surrounding territories. It was obvious that he had to trick him into coming back to be a city slave. But then he thought that Bai Yucheng was not bad either, if he was willing.

At this time, Qu He was seen coming over. He had changed his clothes and got a knitted sweater that looked like iron wire from somewhere, and it was glowing blue.

"This clothing seems to make the energy ten times stronger." Qinghua on the Flower Snake Mountain said, and couldn't help but be shocked.

Yan Qingqiu also felt a headache, and he immediately said to Qu He: "What kind of weird thing are you wearing? This is considered cheating."

Qu He ignored Yan Qingqiu and said to An Yan, "We said before that you would take three blows from me, but we didn't say that I couldn't wear equipment. Lord of West City, you are not afraid, are you?"

An Yan sneered and said, "Where did you get the clothes?"

"Don't worry about it. I bought this at a high price. I didn't steal or rob it." Qu He said with a smile.

"Qu He, I have to remind you. It's not that you can't wear this dress, but this dress can easily backfire on you." An Yan had to remind him because she recognized the dress.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

In many reincarnations, someone had worn this dress and even treated it as a family heirloom because it could give people unlimited power, but because of this, they also had to endure more backlash.

If he used the power of this garment only for his own selfish desires, he would inevitably suffer the consequences.

But Qu He didn't think so. He believed that if he wanted to take over West City, or even the entire territory, it all depended on this dress. As long as he defeated An Yan today, everything would be easy.

Qu He clenched his fist in the air, and immediately a life and death contract appeared, saying: "Sign it. Whether you live or die, you will bear it yourself. If you can't withstand three of my palms, you have to give me West City, otherwise I will give you ten pearls."

"I think this is very inappropriate." The eldest lady of the East Mansion said as she walked forward.

Qu He said, "Why, what's wrong?"

"Can ten pearls compare to a city as big as West City?" the eldest lady of the East Mansion asked him.

Of course it was not possible, which caused the people around to talk about it, and Bei Mo said: "Even if it is a bet, it should be fair."

"You guys seem to have received a lot of benefits from Xicheng, otherwise why would you still speak for her now?" Qu He glanced at everyone and said, "You should think carefully. Maybe the owner will be transferred soon. If you offend her now, aren't you afraid that it will end badly in the future?"

"What big talk you are making? We haven't even started the competition yet." The old man looked down on him.

Qu He laughed loudly and said, "Old man, I'm going to kill you first."

Listen to what the eldest lady of the East Palace said: "Stop talking nonsense. If you lose, the ten pearls plus the city and river here will be handed over to the West City. This is fair."

"You really know how to take advantage of others' misfortune." Qu He was a little unhappy.

"Aren't you the one? West City has so much territory and so many treasures. It is countless times better than your place." The eldest lady of the East Mansion retorted him rudely.

Qinghua from Flower Snake Mountain also stepped forward and said, "If you don't agree, this competition will be cancelled. We will also regard you as a deliberate provocation, disrupting the peace here, and we will teach you a lesson together!"

Bei Mo also agreed with this and said, "Qu He, you have to take it easy and don't get too excited. It won't look good if several families fight against one family."

Only the old man in the southern suburbs just watched the show, but when he noticed Li Rongsen looking at him, he immediately understood the meaning in his eyes. For some reason, he dared not to stand by and watch anymore. He walked up to Qu He and said, "In a competition, fairness is what matters. If you don't want to, just give up. It will also save us time."

Qu He believed that he had a chance to win, and he could not stand so many people questioning him, so he immediately said, "Okay, I agree." He then modified the contract and added his city's river to it.
