Chapter Fifty-Six: Heyang City
In the inn, a table of eight immortals is full of all kinds of delicacies, which are full of color, flavor and flavor, which makes people have a great appetite. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info If it was in normal times, he wouldn't be able to stand the temptation a long time ago, but now he doesn't dare to eat, and there are people next to him who are angry!
Tiansheng peeked at Gu Tianxue from time to time, and saw that his delicate face was like ice that would not melt for thousands of years. I'm beating a drum in my heart, I've never seen her like this, are you really angry? No, I usually make all kinds of jokes, and I haven't seen her angry!
My heart was full of anxiety: "Tianxue, you can also eat some food, you see that you love to eat." If you don't eat again, it's going to be cold."
Gu Tianxue slowly glanced at the full table of delicacies, and then set her eyes on Tiansheng and didn't say a word.
Born to try to show a smile that he thought was very sunny: "Tianxue, can't I be wrong? Don't be angry, I shouldn't make such a joke." ”
"You also know it's wrong, so what are you going to do?" After a long time, Gu Tianxue finally spoke slowly.
When I heard it, I was happy in my heart, things had taken a turn for the better, and then I looked at the full house of delicious food, and said bitterly: "Then I won't eat today, and I should make amends, okay?"
"Really?"
Looking at the table of food with nostalgia, the corners of his mouth twitched, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Seriously." ”
Gu Tianxue suddenly pursed her lips and chuckled, like ice and snow melting in an instant, beautiful: "Okay, then I'll forgive you, but I can warn you that you are not allowed to make such jokes in the future." Otherwise, those two will be your fate in the afternoon. ”
Gu Tianxue's tone revealed a faint threat, and she shivered suddenly. At this moment, I deeply realized that it is better to offend the villain than to offend the woman.
"That's, that's, never again. ”
Tiansheng hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, joking, saying so, who would dare to commit it?
Gu Tianxue nodded with satisfaction, and stretched out her chopsticks to the delicious food on the table. Tiansheng swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and then got up. Since you can't eat, don't torture yourself.
"Sit down, I haven't finished my meal yet, where are you going?" Is this your attitude of making amends?" Gu Tianxue stretched out his hand to pick up the vegetables and stopped in mid-air, looking at Tianshengdao who was about to get up.
Tiansheng had no choice but to sit down, looking at Gu Tianxue, who had eaten in various exaggerated ways, and thought angrily in his heart: This woman is definitely deliberate, and she knows that I have the least resistance to eating.
In the end, it took a full hour for Nature to end this cruel punishment. Back in the room in the inn, the moon was already hanging high. I couldn't sleep in bed over and over, my mind was full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, delicious food, looking out the window like a jade plate, oh no, the moon like a flatbread, and I smiled stupidly.
The moonlight shone through the window into the natural room, and also into the room on the side, like a layer of frost spread on the ground. In the room, Gu Tianxue was holding a painting in her hand, looking at it carefully, and in the painting were two small people, holding Kong Ming lanterns together, smiling brightly. Looking at it, before I knew it, it was already late at night.
The next morning, we set off again. The road is long, and there is still a long way to go from the endless mountains. Two days later, he had already flown out of the border of Jiang Country. Before the sun waned, the group slowly landed outside a city. This is a medium-sized city, I am afraid that there are five or six hundred thousand people, and the time is not early, but the people entering and leaving the city gate are still unaware.
"Heyang City is a very common name. Looking at the three big characters at the gate of the city, I thought in my heart.
Walking in the city, although the customs and other aspects are similar to Jiang Guo, but by nature according to the people who come and go, the mouth of the street vendors found a trace of difference.
"The lady the city lord married a few days ago is really beautiful, so beautiful that I almost hooked my soul just by looking at it. ”
"Me too, me too. It's as beautiful as a fairy, and when I look back at my mother-in-law, I'm not interested. ”
"What a fairy. Another whispered, "I tell you, the current lady of the city lord is a vixen." It's going to suck people's spirit. ”
As soon as this sentence came out, the other two people were so frightened that they directly covered his mouth: "What are you talking nonsense, if someone else hears about it, your life will not be guaranteed, and spreading rumors is a big crime." ”
"Obviously, the city lord went hunting in the mountains some time ago and rescued a beautiful fox with red hair. A cousin of mine saw it with his own eyes. It has only been a few days, and the city lord has married such a beautiful lady, she must be the vixen. ”
"Well, we believe you are. You don't say any more. ”
After listening to it, Tiansheng laughed it off, and didn't think much about what he married a vixen. Cultivation in this world is popular, and although most of the cultivation resources are mastered by various immortal sects, they naturally do not believe that people who can be the masters of a city will be ordinary people. Since he is not an ordinary person, he can naturally tell whether he is a human or a demon, how can he marry a monster?
However, there are two useful pieces of information that I learned from it. One is that there is a city lord in this country, and the other is that the city lord's wife is very beautiful.
"Hey, Tianxue, have you heard of the city lord?" The reason why Tiansheng asked this was because he was more curious about the title of city lord, and there was no such official position in Jiang Country.
"City lord, naturally you know, few countries will set up the position of city lord now. ”
Tiansheng suddenly became interested, and asked Gu Tianxue on the side: "Why? I think it's pretty good, the city lord sounds very domineering." ”
Gu Tianxue turned her head, looked at Tiansheng suspiciously, and said, "You don't claim to have read all the Sword Gate Hidden Scripture Pavilion, why don't you even know this?"
Tian Sheng was embarrassed and said: "The Scripture Pavilion does not have any books, just like there are almost no records about this. ”
"Then today, this princess will give you a good popularity, you listen carefully. Gu Tianxue raised her head and said arrogantly.
Born nodded hurriedly.
"On the mainland, the ten countries of the Central Plains are the strongest, you know this. Because of this, countless other small countries have followed its system, which is now the imperial system, and Jiang State is also this system. The most significant feature of the imperial system is that the emperor has great power, and in order to consolidate the imperial throne, the emperor implements a regional system of provinces, prefectures, counties, and townships in his country. Whether it is a province or a county, the power of these magistrates is actually very small. ”
"The imperial system is the most popular system in the mainland today, and this country is different, its system is the royal system, which can also be said to be the city lord system. Under this system, the king did not have much power, and each city lord had a lot of power, had his own army, and could make his own coins, etc., in fact, just like the emperor of a small country. As for the other, more remote tribal cultures, they don't need to be explained, right?"
"Needless to say, needless to say. Tiansheng was already stunned after hearing this, even if it was only the tip of the iceberg, but it still surprised Tiansheng. The city lord manages a city, so how tired is it to be an emperor?
chatting all the way, I happened to see a good inn, and the two opened two rooms and lived in them. In fact, you can ask for three rooms, but I naturally think it's weird to open a separate room for a fox, so in fact, I've been living in a room with Fox Nine all this time.
I meditated and cultivated on the ground, and after I rested, it was already late at night, and I naturally felt that my cultivation in my body was not growing much. It seems that the fifth layer of the god is really not so easy to break through, and it is not discouraged, take your time. It's not a good thing that cultivation is growing too fast, so you can take this opportunity to polish it more.
Looking at the fox Jiu on the bed playing happily alone, I was envious in my heart, a few years have passed, and it is still as simple as ever.
And now, when I am alone, I will take off my disguise. Sometimes laughter is not laughter, but a kind of strength. In a few years, things have long been different, and I have experienced too much, and I can't go back.
In the room not far away, Gu Tianxue looked at the slight red light on her chest, slowly pushed open the window, and looked at the starry sky.
"Brother Tiansheng, why don't you come up and sleep!"
"It's okay, I can sleep anywhere, you sleep well, don't play. ”
"Oh, good night brother that day. ”
"Good night. ”
Born to blow out the candles in the room, and suddenly the room was pitch black. Someone happened to pass by the door, and heard the voice of a young girl in the room, and then a man's voice, and then the candlelight went out. Spat at the door: "Bah, brute, even the little girl will not be spared." ”
Then he stared at the room where the lights had been turned off, and only left in hatred after half a ring. When he left, he made another "bah", as if he was relieved.
......
In the City Lord's Mansion, even though it was late at night, there were still many lights lit up everywhere, and from time to time there were patrolling government soldiers constantly shuttling by, guarding the entire City Lord's Mansion.
In a hall facing a rockery, the lights were bright, and a beautiful woman walked around, her face a little anxious. The dozen or so maidservants standing on both sides were all hunched and respectful.
"Madam, it's getting late, let's go back to our room. The lord of the castle and the soldiers patrolled together, and they didn't know when they would return. A handmaid walked up to the woman and said.
"No need, if you're tired, go back and rest first, I'll be fine alone. The woman looked at the maidservant and remained indifferent, and then continued: "It's really okay, you all go down!"
"Yes. The maidservants retreated slowly and orderly.
The maidservants who had already withdrawn from the hall did not say until they had walked far away: "Our lady is beautiful, has a good temper, and loves the city lord so much, and she has to wait for the city lord to come back late at night every day." ”
"No, our city lord is also a rare good man, and he has never spent a lot of time drinking outside before marrying his wife. He also patrols with all the soldiers every night, and Heyang City can not close its doors at night, and the road is not left behind, it all depends on the city lord. If I can marry the city lord, it will be worth it in this life. ”
"As long as you are still married to the city lord, I think Xiao Li, who burns firewood in the kitchen, is quite suitable for you, right?"
"Yes, yes. The maidservants covered their mouths and laughed.
"Ah, you are dead. Xiao Li is so ugly, his face is full of pockmarks or buckteeth, so I won't marry him. ”
The handmaidens laughed and gradually disappeared into the moonlight. In the hall, the woman was still waiting anxiously, and her face turned slightly pale......
