“This is the real Old City Lord Qiu Qiming.”
The other three people present, MO Xiu, Yue Yuan, and Mu Qingyi, all trembled.
This… Wasn’t this too exaggerated?
In other words, Qiu Qiming, who had been fighting with everyone, was a fake?
“Uncle Yue, can you confirm it again? Are you sure this is the Old City Lord?” asked MO Xiu. How could you tell?”
Yue Long said,” I’m sure. Look at the face and body first. Although you can’t see anything now, the outline is still there. There’s also the old city lord’s well-known injuries. His legs are seriously injured and he can’t walk in his later years. Three fingers on his right hand are broken. It fits perfectly.”
Moxiu also went forward to check. Comparing the information, it was completely the same. Moreover, this corpse was not fake. One look and one could tell that it had been placed in the coffin many years ago.
Yue Yuan then said, “Then…” Who was the one who raised the Magic Falcons? Who is fighting us? Since the Old City Lord had passed away many years ago, that meant…There was a person who had deceived the entire city for many years.”
“The Old City Lord really hasn’t been in contact with the outside world these years.’”‘
This explained a lot of things. Why was Qiu Qiming still able to show such strong combat strength?
Why was Qiu Qiming walking normally?
There was also the most crucial point. Qiu Qiming had sacrificed his entire life for Shun City. Why did he plan this incident in his later years?
Everything could be explained.
The only suspicious point was, who was this person?
Qiu Qiu was with him, and he cared about Qiu Qiu very much.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given up on pursuing Wang Lei and the others for
Qiu Qiu.
Moxiu carefully read Qiu Qiming’s information again.
He had a son!
“Uncle Yue, the Old City Lord had an eldest son who died at the hands of wild beasts?” asked MO Xiu.”
Yue Long shook his head and said,” That’s true. But I’ve never seen the old city lord’s eldest son, so I don’t know if it’s true or not. You mean…
“I’m just guessing, I can’t be sure.”
Yue Long nodded and closed the coffin with Yue Yuan, letting the Old City Lord rest in peace.
“No matter what, it’s fine as long as the real Old City Lord didn’t do this.” MO Xiu nodded and said,”The hero is dead, but the hero doesn’t die!”
Yue Long and MO Xiu looked at each other. Both of them had plans in their hearts.
Previously, he had asked Yue Long to take the risk to resist the City Lord’s Mansion because he wanted Yue Long’s reputation to surpass Qiu Qiming’s. That way, he could establish a new hero.
Now that they knew the truth and that Qiu Qiming wasn’t the one who did it, the two of them were weighing whether they should announce it or not.
If it was announced, the whole city would be united against the enemy. They would no longer think about the old relationship with the old city lord because this matter was not done by the old city lord at all. However, this way, Yue Long’s appeal would be reduced to a certain extent, and it might be affected during the reconstruction period.
If they didn’t announce it, the Shun City Army would definitely have a grudge and wouldn’t be able to completely obey Yue Long. After all, they had followed the Old City Lord for so many years.
It was a dilemma.
MO Xiu’s idea was to make it public. He couldn’t let the hero be buried. He couldn’t let Qiu Qiming’s heroic reputation be destroyed. He could also let the residents understand that heroes never died!
However, MO Xiu wasn’t the person involved. Furthermore, there was a high chance that Yue Long would be managing Shun City in the future, so it wasn’t appropriate for him to say this.
Yue Long pondered for a long time and weighed the pros and cons. Finally, he said to MO Xiu,” Let’s make this matter public and organize the entire city’s people to send off the old city lord and Qingfeng Ye. This abandoned city lord’s mansion will be turned into a cemetery and a hero’s tomb will be set up. All those who have made outstanding contributions to Shun City can be buried here.””
MO Xiu nodded in agreement. He was very impressed by Yue Long.
In this situation, there was no greed for power.
Once Yue Long did that, his position in people’s hearts would never surpass Qiu Qiming’s.
The four of them walked out of the secret room with heavy steps and out of the basement.
If MO Xiu hadn’t discovered the secret chamber today, Qiu Qiming’s heroic name would have been buried.
After inspecting the City Lord’s Mansion, the dragon gave two orders. First, inform the entire city that the mastermind was not Qiu Qiming. Tomorrow, everyone in the city would come to the City Lord’s Mansion to bid farewell to the hero.
Second, gather all the manpower and rebuild the city lord’s mansion into a hero’s tomb. In order to save time, all the materials were mainly made of marble.
After giving the order, Yue Long asked MO Xiu,”Next, I’m going to visit the
Shun City Army. Are you going with me?”
I’m not going,” MO Xiu said.” I’ll have to trouble you with the rest. I want to go and see Ye Qian ‘er.””
Yue Long patted MO Xiu’s shoulder and said,””Don’t be too sad, this… Maybe this is what brother Ye wants? For Shun City, I will give up everything.”
MO Xiu shook his head and sighed. If Qiming Qiu was the mastermind,
Qingfeng Ye might have already thought of a home from the beginning. He wondered what Qingfeng Ye would think if he knew that the Old City Lord had passed away and that Qiu Qiming wasn’t the one who did it.
He parted ways with Yue Long.
MO Xiu brought Mu Qingyi to the Ye residence.
Mu Qingyi’s footsteps slowed down as she called out to MO Xiu from behind.
“Mo Xiu.”
“What’s wrong, Qingyi?” MO Xiu turned around and asked.”
Mu Qingyi revealed a bright smile and said sweetly,””lt’s time to part ways!”
“Didn’t we agree to elope?”
Mu Qingyi shook her head.” Eloping won’t leave this world. You should change this world.’”‘
MO Xiu was a little disappointed. They had met again, but they were going to part in just two days?
“You came to see me this time, and I’ll come to see you next time!”
Mu Qingyi maintained her smile.”
“Will you be punished by your parents?”
Mu Qingyi’s gaze drifted as she looked into the distance.
“I don’t know, but one thing is certain.”
‘What?”
“It will be difficult to contact me in the future.”
“Stay!” MO Xiu urged.”
Mu Qingyi shook her head lightly.” No, I have to go back and face everything that I should face.”‘
Moxiu paused for a moment and didn’t say anything else to persuade him to stay.
Mu Qingyi yearned for freedom. Since she had chosen to go back, then she should not be restricted from making her choice.
Moxiu nodded and said, “Then…” As usual, I’ll send you off!”
Mu Qingyi was stunned for a moment. They had walked for an entire night the last time, how far would they have to walk this time?
“Good!”
Mu Qingyi suddenly realized that something was not right after she finished speaking.
“Moxiu, you still have many important matters to attend to. You don’t have to send me off, right?”
“You are my business!”
The farewell for Qiu Qiming and Qingfeng Ye’s heroes would be at noon tomorrow. If he sent Mu Qingyi off now, he should be able to rush back in time. MO Xiu summoned his giant sword again, pulling Mu Qingyi along as he sped away.
Mu Qingyi gently hugged MO Xiu from behind, and neither of them spoke.
It was not that he had nothing to say, but he had a belly full of words.
However, no one wanted to break the quiet atmosphere.
Half an hour later, the Sword Saint’s Divine Weapon went into cooldown. Mu Qingyi pulled MO Xiu along and teleported. When the skill’s cooldown was over, she used her flying sword to move forward.
When the two of them arrived at the city where the train opened, it was already night.
Mu Qingyi smiled and said,” Go back, don’t be late.””
“Mm. You must wait for me to find you.” Moxiu nodded lightly.”
“Yes!”
MO Xiu turned around and left.
Mu Qingyi stood in the same place and watched MO Xiu’s figure until he completely disappeared..
