Chapter 13: Yu Mingli
"I didn't expect you guys to have a pretty good tongue. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Yishan ate the manganese burrito that Maier gave her, and smiled like a flower on her face.
"Uh, really? I don't think so. "Before I went down the mountain, I could only taste a few ingredients in my mother's dish, and I could barely guess some of the ingredients, but I couldn't guess the rest." ”
"Is Aunt Yunxin's cooking delicious?"
"Of course, I haven't eaten anything better since I came down the mountain."
"Really?"
"Do I have to lie to you?"
Maier took a bite of the burrito and chewed it with an unhappy expression.
"Damn, I want to eat my mother's food again."
I didn't expect him to have such a boyish side.
Yishan looked at Meier's side face curiously, and her small mouth pursed slightly.
Hmph, seeing that he is so pitiful, I have time to learn how to cook.
The two continued shopping while eating burritos. As the burritos were almost finished, a squad of Ira's light infantry appeared in the downtown area, led by a female military attaché. The military attache carefully patrolled the streets, and the locals looked at her with awe, and offered to make way for her.
Yishan met the female military attache at the meeting. Her surname is Yu, her name is Mingli, and she is currently the chief of security in Twenty-nine Village, holding military power, and is the confidant and favorite general of Nami Jushi. There seems to be some contradiction between her and Yan He, another confidant of Nami Layman, who is currently the head of the garrison of Nami Castle. At the negotiation site, they sneered at each other in front of outsiders more than once, making the atmosphere very embarrassing.
Yan Crane is a good friend of Nami Jushi and an Iraa youkai. Under the influence of Nami Layman, she also has little hostility towards humans, and after hearing that Nami Monk was elected as the leader of the Twenty-Nine Villages, she took the initiative to help Nami Layman, and it has been a long time now.
In contrast, Yu Meili, who is from Ira, is a rising star, and he is inferior to Yanhe in terms of merit and strength. But her current position is higher than Yan He, and the power in her hands is also greater than Yan He, and it is reasonable for the two to have conflicts due to jealousy or other reasons - of course, this is just Yishan's own speculation.
Yu Mingli and her troops arrived for Maier and Yishan, who dragged Maier into the crowd to avoid trouble. How can Yu Mingli's eyes not be ordinarily good, she found Yishan hiding in the crowd at a glance, and then raised her hand to signal her subordinates to stop moving forward, and walked in the direction of Yishan alone.
The locals seemed to be afraid of Yu Mingli, and with every step she took, the people in front of her would take two or three steps backwards. Yishan saw that Yu Mingli was coming this way, and it was obviously coming for herself, and if she continued to hide, she might offend people, so she could only give up hiding and dragged Maier out of the crowd.
Seeing Yishan emerge from the crowd, Yu Mingli took a few quick steps, causing a wave of confusion in the crowd behind Yishan and Maier. After walking in front of Yishan, she bowed slightly to Yishan, which was regarded as a salute.
Yishan wears casual clothes when she goes out, and she looks like a young lady from a rich family, and there are quite a lot of such people in the downtown area, so they won't attract the attention of others. Therefore, Yu Mingli's behavior caused a burst of discussion in the crowd, and everyone was speculating about the identities of Yishan and Meier, and even some people who had never seen Nanyi Jushi guessed that Yishan was Nanyi Jushi.
Ira's yokai don't age, and legend has it that Nami layman's appearance is no different from that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, which is why some people have made such a bold guess. At first, Yishan didn't believe this statement, because the monsters in the Taeyong world have a lifespan, and they can also age and die, and she felt that it was impossible for an old monster like Nanyi Jushi, who had lived for more than a thousand years, to maintain such an appearance.
It wasn't until she saw the chairman sitting at the side of the 29th Village, a quiet girl who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, that she had to believe that the rumor was true. Yi Shan was not surprised when she heard the discussion in the crowd, because at the negotiation site, Yu Mingli did not salute anyone on the other side of the 29th Village except for Nam Yi.
Yu Mingli's eyes lit up, and he didn't even say a word, and the people around him immediately quieted down, closing their mouths and not daring to make a sound. Judging from the performance of the locals, I am afraid that Yu Mingli's temper has spread throughout the entire Twenty-Nine Village.
"Your Excellency the City Lord of Liangyue City, is there anything I can serve?"
After Yu Mingli revealed Yishan's identity, the faces of the surrounding people immediately showed disappointed expressions. About half of the people immediately lost interest in onlookers and turned away.
The people of this Nami monk are so high.
Mel was surprised. In the more than a year that he has been descending the mountain, he has passed through many places and seen many beloved lords or nobles, but it is the first time he has seen a "person" who can be loved by the people to such an extent.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency the Sheriff."
In front of Yu Mingli, Yishan regained her former majesty and skillfully played an official tone.
"I just want to hang out here with my cousin, so I won't bother you."
"Cousin?"
According to the perception of the Taeyong nobility by foreigners, the relatives of the Taeyong nobility must also be the Taeyong nobility, and Yu Mingli also thinks so - of course, this is not the case. However, it is true that the Tayyong nobles rarely intermarry with other people, especially commoners. But Mair looked like a newcomer to the business, with the air of a bounty hunter, and Hamei couldn't connect him with the Taeyong nobles who valued etiquette and honor.
Seeing Yu Mingli looking at him with a tangled face, Maier thought that she was waiting for him to introduce himself, so he said generously.
"My name is Mel? Byron is Yishan's cousin. ”
"Mel...... Byron ......"
Yu Mingli repeated Myer's name, and always felt that the surname Byron was somewhat familiar. She frowned and thought about it for a moment, and soon remembered that it was the surname of the man her father had often referred to before.
Grace? Byrons.
For this name, Yu Mingli is very familiar. Because his father Yu Changnian admires Gray very much? Byrons, so Yu Mingli almost listened to Gray? The deeds of Byron grew up. Because of this, she can't avoid becoming Gray? Admirer of Byrons.
There are many people in this world who have the same pronunciation of the surname, and Yu Mingli thinks that it should be just a coincidence, so he doesn't care about it. But she didn't want her performance just now to make Yishan mistakenly think that she looked down on Meier, which made Yishan very unhappy. In order to raise the value of Meier, Yishan did not hesitate to raise her uncle out.
"Although my cousin is not a Taeyong nobleman, he is the great Gerry? The eldest son of Byrons, he had a noble bloodline. ”
Yishan deliberately accented the words "great man" and "eldest son", lest Yu Mingli not know Gray? Byrons, or belittled Myer's identity.
"Huh?!"
As a result, Yu Mingli's reaction far exceeded Yishan's expectations. She let out a lovely exclamation, and her little face turned red with a "poof", and she couldn't even finish her words.
"You, you...... You're actually ...... I...... I'm ...... You...... You...... Case...... Grace...... I ......"
It's no wonder that Yu Mingli has such a big reaction. If it is replaced by Yishan, and then replaced Maier with Uncle Tengyuan, whom she admires the most, her performance may not be much better than Yu Mingli. When people worship someone, they may fantasize about seeing this person more than once, but when you actually see this person, you will definitely not be as comfortable as you imagined. Even if you're only seeing that person's son, you may become overwhelmed by excitement or nervousness.
The people of Twenty-Nine Village privately nicknamed Yu Mingli the nickname "Iron Mask Sheriff", because she always looked unsmiling and was very strict with anyone except Nami Layman. Now Yishan has turned the "Iron Mask Sheriff" into this with just one sentence, if this matter spreads in Twenty-Nine Villages, I am afraid that Yishan will be crowned with the title of "Iron Mask Sheriff Buster".
Maier's identity should not be underestimated, after all, this is the fundamental reason why Yu Mingli has become like this. Grace? Byron is not too famous among the people of Ira, and people who like gossip news will definitely think that there must be a story in it, and then use their imagination to make up various versions of the relationship between the characters.
For example, Yu Changnian used to be with Gray? Byron made a verbal pact that if one of them had a son and the other had a daughter, he would make a marriage contract for both children or something—of course, this was nonsense. But people just love this kind of story, so the news always spreads quickly and covers up the facts.
Yu Mingli was flustered for a long time, and her anxious appearance of almost crying couldn't help but make Yishan wonder if she had done something very excessive. It was the first time she had encountered such a thing, and she didn't know how to solve it, so she could only look at Maier with a pleading gaze.
Maier had experienced something similar. It was shortly after Maier came down the mountain, and he was passing by a small town, and he happened to see a little girl on the corner who looked anxious and was about to cry.
When he saw that the little girl was pitiful, he went to her and asked, "Is there anything you need help with?" ”
The little girl refused to say anything at first, but shook her head vigorously, and at last said to Mel with a shy expression that she was about to die, "I...... I...... I want to pee ......"
It turned out that the little girl was a foreigner, and her mother had taught her that she should not defecate in the open and that she had to go to the toilet if she wanted convenience. As a result, she got lost with her parents in this town, and unfortunately, she happened to want to urinate at this time, and there was no toilet nearby, so she was in a hurry.
In fact, both of these problems are quite easy to solve. Maier asked a local for directions and found the town's public toilets. After this, he took the little girl to the town square and asked her to call her name out loud - Gray had taught Maier that people tend to ignore many things when they are anxious, but they never lose sight of what is most important to them, so Maier asked the little girl to call out her own name.
As it turned out, Gray was right, and with Meier's help, the little girl was soon reunited with her family.
She probably wants to go to the bathroom, right?
Mel scratched the side of his face in embarrassment. He couldn't think of any other possibility, because he didn't know that Yu Mingli was an admirer of his father.
I remember there was a public toilet not far from here?
Mel had an idea and thought about it.
"That...... Your Excellency the Attorney-General? ”
Maier learned Yishan's tone and called Yu Mingli, and after hearing Maier's voice, Yu Mingli became even more nervous. She clamped her legs tightly, and she didn't know where to put her hands, so she had to carry them behind her back and wrap her fingers tightly together.
"Yes...... Is there something wrong? ”
"I have something I want you to help me with."
"What...... What's up? ”
"I'd like to ask you to show us around here."
"Huh?! Do you want me to show you around? Can it really be? ”
Yu Mingli listened to Gray? Byrons's eldest son wanted to take him on a tour of the neighborhood, and immediately his spirits came, and most of his nervousness disappeared.
Well, she seems to be in a real hurry.
It's really hard for her to encounter this kind of thing in public.
If Yu Mingli knew what Maier was thinking, he would definitely punch him in the face - was it because Maier was Gray? Byrons's eldest son, if it had been an ordinary person, she would have cut him in two with a sword.
