Chapter 278: Borrowing the world's desire for profit -
"Secondly, although two hundred years may seem like a long time, in reality, those behind-the-scenes masters who have inherited the throne have been secretly influencing the successive city lords of Luoxing City to plan the city's roads, and they have put on a layer of 'overt conspiracy' on the surface."
What is conspiracy?
A conspiracy is a plan that is done secretly, without anyone's knowledge, to achieve the schemer's ulterior motive.
An open conspiracy is to act according to the existing reality, follow the trend, and with the guidance of the individual's subjective initiative, to achieve the purpose that is beneficial to oneself or desired by oneself in a fair and open manner.
In most cases, if a conspiracy wants to last for more than a year, it must be covered up by a layer of conspiracy.
Tang San suddenly realized why the soul guide core formation of Falling Star City could be built within two hundred years, because the conspirators who guided the successive city lords were of the same lineage, and only they themselves knew the final plan, and they declared to the city lord that such planning and design could make Falling Star City more orderly.
Just like Dales, when he first took office in Luoxing City six years ago, he killed an innocent country couple who were suspected to be Zhou Qing's biological parents, to make an example of them and to restore order in the city.
Keep things in order...
All the residents in the city knew about this. They hoped that the city would be well-ordered so that they could live a better life. Therefore, they did not think there was any conspiracy. At most, they felt that the city lord was cruel in implementing the plan.
In addition, they have already exhausted all their energy to survive, and their abilities are limited. Most people think that "it's better to have less trouble than more", so even if there are hidden talents among them who see something wrong, they will force themselves to ignore it and muddle through.
"The poor people are all fools and have no courage!"
Tang San couldn't help but sigh.
But Zhou Qing said: "So, we need to give them courage."
"Ok?"
Tang San was slightly stunned, somewhat confused.
But Zhou Qing just smiled and didn't elaborate. This was not something that could be explained in a few words. He continued to arrange everyone's tasks and said, "Romantina, just say that we are here to hunt down the soul master's accomplice who attacked Xiao's mansion in Notting City at night, and found that he fled to Luoxing City."
“As for Darles’ reaction, I have imagined many different ones, but they can generally be classified into two categories:
First, he made excuses for it, regardless of whether he had any connection with the Soul Sect or not. An accomplice of the Soul Master who attacked Notting Xiao's Mansion at night fled to Luoxing City. If the news got out, it would have a certain impact on his prestige. Although his reputation in Luoxing City was indeed not very good, he still had some dignity.
In this case, relying on your status as Romanyak's daughter, you can be a little "unreasonable". In short, you can talk to him about all kinds of topics, even make verbal personal attacks, to delay time.
The second is that he will gather the patrol officers in the city to help you search for your father's sake, and you need to use moral kidnapping to get him to join the search team."
Romantina took note and then asked, "What does moral kidnapping mean?"
"For example: an old man falls to the ground and can't get up. Others are just watching and no one goes to help him. At this time, you stand up, but instead of helping the old man, you righteously accuse others of being too indifferent, thus making them ashamed, so that others have to help the old man out of their guilty conscience." Zhou Qing gave a common example.
Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and You Hui were stunned when they heard this!
Although in this example, people finally helped the old man who fell, which is indeed a good thing, but for some reason, they always feel that the "Romantina" who blames others is a bit disgusting and hypocritical?
Is this what is called moral kidnapping?
"Am I such a hypocritical person in your eyes?" Romantina also understood the meaning of moral kidnapping. Her face turned red and she roared loudly, but in her mind she was thinking about the scene after she had morally kidnapped Darles and Darles and the patrol members were at a loss for a moment, but they could not refute her and could only stare at her with resentment or disdain...
She was so excited!
(p≧w≦q)!
[This guy is hopeless! ]
Zhou Qing swore that even if he was single for his whole life, he would never look for Romantina, but at this moment he could only say: "I didn't say that to you, but in my eyes, you are a little too 'frank', so I hope you can be a little hypocritical."
After that, Zhou Qing rubbed his temple, trying his best to ignore Romantina's twisted body, and said to Tang San and Xiao Wu: "Our mission is much simpler. Explore the room behind the City Lord's Mansion."
"And me?"
Seeing that Zhou Qing had no plans for her, Ning Rongrong couldn't stand it anymore and stared at Zhou Qing.
"As for you, it's difficult to arrange because of your identity."
Because Zhou Qing's martial soul and the Xiantian Neijing Diagram achieved harmony and unity in Yingchun Tower, his spirit, qi, blood, and soul power resonated, guiding out a belief in his heart and bursting out a strange power, causing most of the guests in Yingchun Tower to faint.
In order to cover up for him, Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo exposed their identities and became known to everyone in Luoxing City.
Although Ning Rongrong had never had a formal meeting with Darles and most of the people in the city did not recognize her, Darles was able to find out her appearance because he was determined. After all, Ning Rongrong had met people from the City Lord's Mansion at the north gate of the city.
"However, I have an important task for you." Zhou Qing said with a smile, "Doesn't your martial soul have a talent for treasure hunting? I suspect there are soul crystals in some areas underground. You can ask the people who are secretly protecting you to help dig them out, and you need to let passers-by see your actions."
Ning Rongrong's eyes rolled, as if she had figured out the key point, and said: "Oh~ In other words, even if there are no soul crystals, I can still put some soul crystals in?"
"clever!"
Zhou Qing gave a thumbs up.
It can only be said that Ning Rongrong is worthy of being born in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Even though she is only six years old and does not understand human nature, she has learned some of the essence of some of the principles under Ning Fengzhi's words and deeds.
Zhou Qing's goal was to use Ning Rongrong to encourage the people in the city to secretly dig up the "treasure" buried underground, thereby destroying the soul guide core formation paved with soul sand.
Although Zhou Qing took advantage of the profit-seeking instinct of the people of Luoxing City during this process, he did not do so for his own benefit, but to let them save themselves.
This super-large soul guide core formation was planned by the family of the mastermind behind the scenes, and was completed with the help of the successive city lords of Luoxing in the past two hundred years. In the end, those city lords all died of illness...
This alone is enough to prove that this soul guide core formation is bound to be a disaster!
