Chapter 8 The East Wind is Coming
Hua Chunqiu has long been familiar with the road to the City Lord's Mansion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 In order to plan faster and better how to deal with the other two families next, Hua Chunqiu had to come to the City Lord's Mansion almost every day. And every time, I was willing to leave until late.
Sometimes the city lord wondered if there was something wrong with Hua Chunqiu's orientation, so he often took out the most proud genuine products in the mansion for Hua Chunqiu to take, including the superb tea called "Dream Qianqiu". Although it is a little painful, but it can maintain the relationship between the two, and there is no chaos from it, for the city lord, it is enough, after all, his orientation is still normal.
At this time, Xiao Jiang had chosen to practice martial arts in retreat since he came back from Phoenix Ridge. In a big family like theirs, there will always be one or two of their own advanced martial arts to defend themselves, or even protect the family portal.
Of course, the martial arts he learned were not as magical as the Xiangfu Ancestor, he could pick up things from the air when he stretched out his hand, and he could shine when he raised his hand. And the kung fu he learned could only ensure that he was physically strong, punched powerfully, and walked elegantly. To put it bluntly, it is stronger than normal people's physical strength, strength, speed, and flexibility. As for what the ancestor said in his mouth, such as spiritual roots, spiritual arts, spells, etc., he was beyond his reach.
However, before the retreat, he also left some words for his family members, that is, to pay attention to the movements of Washington and the City Lord's Mansion. Because he vaguely felt that Tang Ying's death must have a great relationship with these two people, but there was no evidence. Therefore, Xiao Jiang also went to Xiangfu before the retreat. First, it is to report the matter of the abandoned baby to the ancestor. The second is to tell Tang Jun, the current lord of Xiangfu, some people and things that should be careful. As for how to do business and make money, he didn't bother to teach these trivial things, after all, the Xiangfu is not a family, and there are no capable people in the mansion.
During this time, the doors of the Xiang Mansion were also closed, and even the servants traveled very rarely. The guests who came to visit were also turned away, and everything was said after the New Year, which was less than a month away.
The end of the year is approaching, but Hua Chunqiu's plan has not been implemented. Because one of the most important factors was missing, Hua Chunqiu often secretly entered and exited through the back door of the City Lord's Mansion, just to discuss and find the trigger for this fuse.
The courtyard of the castle lord's mansion is square, and the courtyard is surrounded by large and small courtyards. The main courtyard is at a distance from the rest of the courtyard. Among them, the guards lived in the outer courtyard of the city lord's mansion, and the servants lived in a more remote part of the inner courtyard. The lord of the castle and his family lived in the center of the main courtyard, and his guards and servants could echo left and right, playing the role of serving the lord's family and protecting him.
This kind of architectural style and pattern are the same as those in other mansions, which shows how neat and uniform the architectural pattern in Fenglan County is.
At this time, the city lord stood in his own courtyard with a worried face, watching the scene in the courtyard. It didn't matter how heavy the snow was at this time, just like that, standing quietly and not moving.
After a while, a servant crept up behind him. The servant first saluted slightly, and then said softly: "Master, the Wang Immortal Master you invited has already waited in the secret room. ”
Hearing the servant's reply, the city lord was first happy, then turned into a serious expression and said "um", and then waved his hand. Then the servant turned and left, as if in a very amused manner.
"Hehe, now that I have the ability to protect myself, the next thing is to see how he Hua Chunqiu operates!" Waiting for the servant to leave, the city lord smiled coldly.
"Crunch...... Syllable......! ”
A rusty iron colliding sound came from the ground, and I didn't see the city lord make any moves, but my position suddenly began to tremble slightly, and then it looked like it was collapsing downward. Immediately afterwards, I saw a hole appear on the ground, and there were several stairs slowly rising at the entrance of the cave, and the walls of each staircase were brightly lit at the same time, which turned out to be a secret secret passage.
After the secret passage was stabilized, the city lord looked around and confirmed that there was no one on the left and right, and then hurriedly entered the secret passage.
There was nothing in the passageway, only a long straight corridor, and oil lamps hung on the walls every ten paces. After a while, the lord of the city came to a hall full of candles through a secret passage and stopped. Although there are countless candles in the hall, they are not bright. I saw a person in a Taoist robe sitting in the center of the hall, and there seemed to be a pole circle under the buttocks The gossip pattern was particularly dazzling, and I saw that the person had two hands and four fingers slightly closed, a pair of thumbs and fingertips together, and his eyes were half a meter. It seemed that he heard someone entering, and his eyes suddenly opened and said: "The city lord is really a big shelf, and he actually let the deity wait for you here!" ”
"Hehe, Lord Immortal Master misunderstood, the form has been complicated recently, there are many eyes and ears, I originally wanted to personally greet you with Lord Immortal, but I really can't pull away!" The city lord saw that the man was a little displeased, and laughed. He knew that the immortal master in front of him would not really be angry with him, but that this kind of person had a very strange temperament.
"Don't talk nonsense, what are you looking for me for, right?" The person who was called the Immortal Master was not angry.
"I don't dare to take care of you for big things, but I want the immortal master to protect me when necessary, of course, I have prepared a lot of things for you." As he spoke, the city lord took out a delicate key from his bosom and walked to a corner, smirking at the corner of his mouth.
"Immortal Master, please take a look." After a while, the city lord cautiously walked back with a box in his arms, and gently opened the lid.
"Wow!" When the immortal master saw the contents of the box, his eyes were about to fall out, and he almost exclaimed.
I saw that there were many strange stones piled up in the box, and the stones were colorful and glowing, and they were very beautiful. Although the lord of the castle was able to obtain this stone, he was also not famous. And the stone was not very large, slightly smaller than an egg, and there seemed to be hundreds of them in the chest.
Feeling that he was a little out of shape, the immortal master froze, then stroked his beard, did not speak, and nodded with satisfaction. At the same time, it also shows that it is not refusal, and it is possible to cooperate.
The city lord didn't say much, but respectfully put the box stone next to the immortal master, and then turned to leave, and when he left, the corners of his mouth showed a smug smile. It's as if to say that in the face of temptation and profit, everyone shows a greedy face, and I'm afraid that only the dead don't have two desires.
Out of the secret room, the city lord walked directly to the main hall. At this time, a servant hurriedly caught up, looking a little panicked.
"What is so alarming, what is the system." The city lord's face suddenly fell, and he was too indulgent to help the subordinates who didn't know the height of the sky, but he was actually running around in front of him.
"Lord, Lord, Lord, something is wrong!" When the servant saw that the lord of the city was angry, he knelt on the ground and said hurriedly.
"What?" When the city lord heard this, he knew that there must be no good thing, but at this time it was not like before, so he hurriedly asked.
"The Chinese elder sent someone to report that the east wind is coming, and Washington is in trouble......
