With his hands behind his back, he ate a melon, and the country's fortune soared.

Chapter 497 Completely giving up

Qian Qian laughed when he heard this, "This Azhuo really can't wait even a moment."

Looking at Lu Yu, "Tell Lina and Azhuo that I am hosting a banquet today and they must come."

"Yes."

Lu Yu's eyes and brows were cold as he responded.

Qian Qian added, "Choose a few secret guards and deal with all the former members of the City Lord's Mansion that Azhuo has contacted privately."

Lu Yu's eyes lit up and his voice became louder, "I obey your orders."

Qian Qian smiled, but in her heart she was very rude, [Where does this Ah Zhuo get her confidence from? ]

[You dare to contact your old subordinates now? 】

The system sneered, [Where does your confidence come from? It was given to you by Lina.]

Qian Qian narrowed his eyes, [I'll give her this one chance, if she still hesitates.]

She paused, [Then even if she is talented, I will not keep her.]

【Um. 】

The system agrees.

Qianqian gave the order to prepare the banquet, and Erdan finally came back after having enough fun.

Bringing Erdan into the space, Pang Ya immediately flew towards Erdan with a smile.

Qianqian ignored them and went to sleep.

When I woke up and left the space, the banquet was already prepared.

Lin Long, Lu Yu, A Ying, Ji Wuyou, Li Qin and Ruoqiang had already arrived and were waiting for His Majesty quietly.

Lina sat at the end of the banquet, feeling uneasy.

Azhuo sat next to Lina, his eyes wandering around.

When she saw Lu Yu, her eyes lit up. Her husband passed away early and she had secretly kept several male lovers over the years.

But she was also greedy when she saw Lu Yu's handsome face, and couldn't help muttering, "Your Majesty is the one who knows how to enjoy himself."

What she couldn't imagine was that almost everyone at the banquet had been nourished by the red fruit.

Not only are they physically healthy, but their five senses are also more acute than those of ordinary people.

When Lin Long heard Azhuo mumbling, he glared at her several times.

But Azhuo was sitting at the lower table and didn't take the dwarf old man seriously at all.

Therefore, he did not notice the unfriendly look in Lin Long's eyes.

However, when Lu Yu's eyes full of disgust fell on him, Azhu was rarely hurt.

He was complaining in his heart but didn't dare to say anything out loud. While he was thinking different things, Qianqian came over in riding clothes.

As soon as she entered the main hall, she immediately bowed to Lin Long and said, "Old man, have you had a good rest these days?"

Lin Long glanced at Azhuo and nodded with a straight face, "Not bad."

Qian Qian covered her lips and smiled, "That's good."

Everyone stood up and greeted her, and Qian Qian gestured for them to sit down.

Looking at Lina who looked nervous, "How much have you learned about West City's official business these days?"

Lina immediately stood up and tried to answer, but Azhuo interrupted with a smile, "She's still young, what can she understand?"

"Your Majesty, if this child has done anything wrong, please punish him directly."

Wu Wanwan snorted coldly, "Humph, did His Majesty ask you?"

Azhu met Wu Wanwan's cold eyes and shut up awkwardly.

Lina then bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, I have read the files of West City." She paused, "All affairs were suspended, but Lord Zhao and Lord Xu have gradually resumed them."

Qian Qian nodded and motioned her to sit down. "I have asked Nazi and Hadiel to go to Hanging Wall City. Ramu and the two young princes will be here soon."

"When the time comes," she looked at Azhuo with a half-smile, "I will settle the matter properly."

Azhuo's body stiffened, and he tried to remain calm.

At the beginning of the banquet, local dancers from Xicheng gave a performance.

Xicheng's dance is quite spiritual, and although its movements are not as passionate and unrestrained as those of Naz and Hadil, it has its own flavor.

Qianqian watched with great interest and gave Wu Wanwan a wink.

Wu Wanwan took the small pill handed to her by His Majesty.

[Tongzi, do you think Ouyang Nanxin's medicine can really make people tell the truth? ]

[Yes,] the system was certain, [This is Ouyang Nanxin's masterpiece, and it has been approved by Feng Qingqing.]

Qian Qian smiled, and Wu Wanwan found an opportunity to put the small pill in Azhuo's wine glass.

During the meal, neither Lina nor Azhu noticed it. Qianqian enjoyed watching the dancers very much after they finished dancing.

The dancers were rewarded with a lot of good things, and the party was filled with joy.

Just when everyone was very happy, a cold sneer came from below.

Everyone looked at Azhuo, who smiled and said, "Your Majesty is too indulgent towards these lowly people. They are just some tricks to please people."

"How can I match such a transparent mutton-fat jade Ruyi?"

"Your Majesty, you are an emperor. An emperor should behave like an emperor."

Qian Qian curled her lips and signaled Tao'er to take the dancers away.

She signaled Lin Long and the others not to speak. Everyone was quiet, but Lina was panicking. "Mom, Mom, are you drunk?"

“Hahaha,” Azhuo hugged Lina, “Oh, the little girl I despised the most was able to take over my position as city lord. Your Majesty really has poor eyesight.”

Money money...

Everyone...

Lin Long's chest heaved with anger, and Qian Qian signaled him not to be angry.

Then I heard Ah Zhuo say, "This is just the dog I have raised for fifteen years. It should have been an obedient and timid dog."

"You, don't think you can be so arrogant just because you took over my position as city lord. You will always be my dog."

"Just a dog, hahahaha."

Qian Qian looked at Lina, only to see the hope in the girl's eyes fade away in an instant.

[Tongzi, these are really what Azhuo really thinks, right? ]

[Yes,] the system said viciously, [it couldn’t be more true.]

Qian Qian sneered, "Azhuo, do you know that you can live until now thanks to Lina?"

"Otherwise, you would have been publicly tried and your head would have been separated."

Azhuo paused, then looked at Lina hurriedly, "Yes, my future still depends on you, dog."

"But if you dare to tremble in front of me, I will kill you myself."

"I gave you your life, and I can take it back at any time."

She patted Lina's stiff and disappointed face, "Do you know?"

"That's enough," Lina could no longer bear it and stood up and knelt, "Your Majesty, my mother drank too much, please forgive me."

Qian Qian looked at the disappointment in Lina's eyes and asked, "Tongzi, is Lina awake?"

[Yes,] the system said, [Azhuo personally let go of her only chance to survive.]

"You must be punished for your crime." Qian Qian said coldly.

"Send Ah Zhuo to Lord Zhao and Lord Xu for a public trial and punishment according to the law."

"Yes," Lina touched her forehead to the ground, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

The girl uttered the last few words with sobs and trembling all over.

"You lowly girl," Azhuo shouted, "You are crazy, you are an unfilial girl..."

The rest of the words were blocked in his throat by the secret guard.

Lina looked very sad and asked to leave, and Qian Qian agreed.

The banquet was not affected at all by Lina and her daughter, and the singing and dancing continued...

At this time, Dundun, Tangyuan and Ram, who had just boarded the airship, were listening to Naz and Hadir describing the situation in West City.

The three of them looked unhappy, feeling anxious and guilty.

Two days later, the airship finally arrived above West City.

Under Wu Wanwan's command, the airship slowly landed in the main courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

Qian Qian put his hands behind his back and looked at the people coming down from the airship with a smile...
