Chapter 156 Hong Huang, ready to make trouble

Afterwards, Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue walked in different directions and parted ways.

Ling Qingyue was seen walking lightly, like a cheerful bird, towards the bustling market.

Hong Huang, on the other hand, leisurely wandered between the hotels in the city. Every time he entered a hotel, he would find a seat to sit down. When he stopped for a while, he would take the initiative to chat with strangers next to him, listen to other people's stories, or share his own experiences.

Time passed quickly, and night fell in the blink of an eye. When the city was illuminated by bright lights, Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue, who had been busy all day, met again in front of the city lord's mansion.

"Now, you should be able to tell me what you think, right?" Ling Qingyue asked impatiently.

Hong Huang smiled slightly and replied mysteriously, "Why don't you take a guess first? I'll give you a small hint. This matter is closely related to the big event that is about to happen in our city!"

Ling Qingyue pondered for a moment, then confidently said, "Is there any need to guess? It's just a matter of rotating the City Lords! With the help of those magical elixirs provided by the Demon Blood Cult, the person who will eventually ascend to the throne of City Lord will definitely be Liu Lei!"

A hint of appreciation flashed in Hong Huang's eyes, and he nodded in response, "Yes, that's right. So, I plan to advance this process a step, and on this basis, give Liu Lei more support. If everything goes well, our mission this time will be more than just exceeding the target!"

Hearing this, Ling Qingyue's eyes lit up, but then she frowned again and asked, "What you said certainly makes sense, and if it really develops as you said, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to us. But...how exactly do you plan to do it?"

"Hehe, it's basically done. You should know that my current appearance is just a careful disguise. If that's the case, then of course I can disguise myself in any other way I want. Next, I just need to use different identities to say some misleading words to others. In this way, these false news will spread rapidly like wings. One person tells ten people, ten people tell a hundred people... and so on. It won't be long before the entire Jigui City will be filled with the rumors I spread. When that happens, we just need to add fuel to the fire here. Hehe, guess what the final outcome will be?"

"Compared to all this, I actually want to understand what you said to everyone else. Why didn't I hear a single word?"

"Haha, if these rumors can really spread throughout the city so quickly, then there seems to be no need for us to go meet that Liu Lei. In my opinion, we should see results by tomorrow noon at the latest! So, we might as well wait patiently for a while, as the saying goes, 'let the bullets fly for a while'!"

"Although I don't know what the 'bullet' you mentioned is, but if we just stand here and don't go in quickly, no matter how much you talk, it will be of no use!" After Ling Qingyue's reminder, Hong Huang came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream, and hurriedly walked into the City Lord's Mansion with Ling Qingyue.

When Hong Huang stepped into the banquet hall, he couldn't help but be attracted by the scene before him. Although the scale of this banquet hall was slightly inferior to yesterday, it could still be regarded as extremely luxurious.

The dazzling crystal chandelier emits a soft and warm light, making the entire space sparkle; the exquisite carpet covers the entire floor, as soft and comfortable as if walking on clouds; precious paintings hang on the walls, demonstrating the owner's elegant taste and extraordinary status.

"City Lord Liu is so polite! We are really flattered that you entertain us with such a grand banquet!" Hong Huang said with a smile and a sincere tone.

Liu Lei, who was standing aside, heard this and showed a humble smile on his face: "Your Excellency the two envoys, you are too polite. It's just a banquet. I hope you can have a great time." After saying this, his eyes fell on the two people in front of him.

Since they parted this morning, he has sent people to secretly monitor Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue's every move. According to reports from his men, one of them wandered around the market for most of the day, while the other wandered around the city, and his whereabouts were quite mysterious.

Although Liu Lei was still unclear about the real intention behind their actions, judging from the current situation, it was very likely that they were about to leave as they had said before.

"Since City Lord Liu has invited us so warmly, we will respectfully obey your command." Hong Huang responded with a smile.

Then, under the guidance of Liu Lei, he and Ling Qingyue walked to the dining table and sat down in order according to the seating arrangement.

After everyone was seated, delicious dishes were presented on the table one after another, and this unique banquet officially began.

For a moment, the banquet hall was filled with laughter and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

The crystal chandelier cast its light, illuminating the long table filled with delicious food. The silver cutlery clashed with the exquisite porcelain, making a crisp sound. The three of them talked in low voices, laughing happily from time to time.

The air is filled with the aroma of perfume and delicious food, and melodious music flows like a stream.

The servants shuttled among them like graceful dancers, holding champagne glasses steadily, and presenting the fine wine of blessing to Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue. They picked up the glasses, sniffed the aroma of the wine, took a sip, their eyes full of intoxication.

Every corner of the banquet was filled with joy and comfort, as if time had stopped at this moment, unwilling to disturb this beautiful scene.

At this moment, Hong Huang slowly put down the exquisite wine glass in his hand, his expression serious. He then looked at Liu Lei with a solemn gaze and said solemnly, "City Lord Liu, I actually didn't intend to mention this matter at all. However, after thinking it over and weighing the pros and cons, I finally decided to tell you this matter frankly."

Hearing Hong Huang's words, Liu Lei suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart, but he still tried his best to remain calm. He just pursed his slightly dry lips and asked in a calm tone, "I hope the envoy will tell me the truth."

After seeing Liu Lei's reaction, Hong Huang realized that things were going smoothly. He then glanced at Ling Qingyue. After receiving Hong Huang's message, the other party nodded to Hong Huang. After receiving Ling Qingyue's reply, Hong Huang began to tell the false news.
